Maomao is the queen of denial. She sees Jinshi down there fighting in the front lines, all that fancy gear and stuff, and still goes "nah, must be imagining things".

This week at The Apothecary Diaries we present:

I still like Shisui a bunch, she' trying, she good. Why are people talking bad about all this? Wonder what's gonna happen to change my mind, cuz so far, I'm still pretty much on her side. When is it gonna happen I wonder- OH SHIT I JINXED IT SHIT SHIT SHIT

be careful with what series you watch/read during emotional points in your life because they will forever contain a ghost of your past self within it now

Their relationship isn't perfect, but people seem to forget the important thing is if something over the line between them happens, the show acknowledges is as such. The scene with honey? It wasn't romanticized. It's hella creepy and was portrayed as such. What happend in the cave? It put a literal wall between them (ok, it was a door a but yall get the idea). It's not the matter of avoiding these themes, it's about how the show handles them.

I think it's funny how the fandom is split between romantisizing Jinmao's every interaction and those who find them toxic and problematic. e.g. The thing about the age gap (practically non-existent btw they are ONE YEAR APART). If the show wants to show you problematic, they WILL shove it in your face. If the show is gonna show you pedophilia, they WILL and DID, along with discussing the countless horrific repercussions that come with it (see: The Former Emperor episode). Why bother looking for a problem that doesn't exists when it's right there in the other room?

Secondly, I don't really agree when people say Jinmao's relationship is completely healthy. It's a whole journey to reach the point where it is TRULY healthy. They have miscommunications. They make each other angry. They hurt each other. And if you think that scene in the cave is problematic then oh boy you got a thing coming in future arcs. They're young adults who make mistakes and trying to deal with inner conflict and pressure from those around them and each other. Sexual assault? Yes I can see why it looks like that. But I don't think the creators intended it so. Like I said, if it's problematic I'm sure the show will shove it in our faces. He acknowledged his actions, apologized afterwards and did his best to not make her scared and uncomfortable. Jinshi's not a total green flag and Maomao isn't a defenseless child.

Anime only here

now I'm scared

I love the KNH/TAD community bc in one hand, you have anime onlys watching season 2's second ending song saying "oh wow I love Maomao having friends" and then you have LN readers crying and screaming bc of Maomao's friends.

[strayvisitor]

So what's up with Shisui? Girl's too much to just be another random contact on Maomao's friendship list, you ain't fooling me with this one.

Is the ending of The Dragon Prince the reason no one talks about the ending of The Dragon Prince?

I LOVE EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING AROUND PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE I DON'T WANT TO BE A MAGICAL GIRL RIGHT NOW SOOOO MUCH

Crazy how the person you've been following for Team Rocket memes suddenly reached for the stars. But to celebrate another artist's success, I present to you another AU! Because we need more of those in this new fandom and I like the cliché trope of a traitor love interest. XD Though I admit this small doodle idea got way out of hand. Still, do you see the vision???

Yall keep posting the left out bit about the softshell turtle from the books and now I'm seriously thinking about getting these light novels, they seem extremely readable.

Other shows wish they could capture the chaos of group chats half this well.

[strayvisitor]

Can’t properly explain it, but “I like this character”, “I like how this character is written” and “I care about this character” are 3 very different things which may or may not overlap.
