Keeping an alive tumblr in 2026 is proof of one's sincerity and authenticity - a type of person who enjoys posting for the sake of it with absolutely nothing to be gained....just the enjoyment of curation and self expression untainted by opportunity and relevance

You should automatically get time off work until the light returns to your eyes and you feel like a real person again

There is something a bit poetic about the fact that Jinshi, a man who hates his beauty, who has been so repressed emotionally that he is constantly switching between a perfect gentleman and a beast, a man who wants to be seen as brave and "manly", who spents every waking second of his days overworking himself... is viewed as a helpless, lazy and effeminate by majority of the apothecary diaries.

Maybe that's why I don't find the jokes about Maomao getting him pregnant particularly funny. At the surface it's just a joke but at it's core it's spitting at the very core identiy of Jinshis character. Who he is and who he wants to be and how he is treated by other characters within the story.

Same goes for Maomao.

I'm not sure why is it so hard for people in fandoms to comprehend that people are not one way or another. Jinshis empathy and beauty doesn't make him a woman. Maomaos assertiveness and refusal to comply to the norms doesn't make her a man.

They are not characters who have ever aspired to be the opposite gender.
