The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 2 - Natsu Hyuuga

sudden toxic shock syndrome

[hadalplumes]

I'm still waiting for Anshi's warning to become explicitly relevant.... it's been 10+ LNs but i feel like we're actually getting close

[hadalplumes]

Unlike the other little girls still trapped in the rear palace, Anshi got a chance to not be haunted by the pedo emperor's face, because yes she still remembers him and what he did to her, she still sees him in Jinshi, at the end of the day, the "beautiful face" is now her son's face rather than the emperor's face

something other people who lived through his reign can't say and Jinshi himself will continue to be haunted by the resemblance with his mother's filter not present

[hadalplumes]

Smth smth about Jinshi's most favorite ever toy being a soldier; a person rather than an animal, ball, kite, etc is because he was so lonely and didn't have friends

The soldier wasn't his toy, it was his friend

[hadalplumes]

Jinshi is playing fetch with Maomao with one of his favorite childhood toys! bc he didn't have friends back then but he's actually more than happy to share his toys with a friend!

I am not okay...

[hadalplumes]

I DID NOT KNOW ANSHI WAS THIS TALL!?!!? DAMN!!

[hadalplumes]

I love Anshi being one of Jinshi's greatest allies despite the harm she unintentionally caused him as a kid. However, Anshi notes that it was "cruel" what she did, but never that it was "wrong" (unless the translation isn't accurate)

This needed to be done to protect him from people looking to have leverage over him and use him

[hadalplumes]

This is interesting considering it's not too long before/around the same time as the Yi clan annihilation, and the empress regnant was suspected to be suffering from dementia and making ill decisions

The eunuch surgery was very risky, and they risked losing one of the few qualified doctors they have

[hadalplumes]

i will remain silent while killing the empress dowager's family...

[hadalplumes]

I really need Anshi to go around breaking shit!

Go apeshit my precious lady ily!

[hadalplumes]

babyyyyyyy

[hadalplumes]

maaaaan him getting nervous!

like there's the bit where his mom is talking about her abuser while she was a kid, so during her abuse, but also it's the same rhetoric she indirectly forced him to learn: hide your favorites

[hadalplumes]

I love Jinshi's little ❓

boy doesn't even know why he's here!

[jet-apologistmybadhomies]

Maomao in sua's clothing.. for a friend
