Imagine being an avemuji fan though. You queue for hours on tickets that probably cost you half a million yen to get. The curtain rises, 4/5 members immediately go "So anyways we're disbanding. Lol" followed by the 5th member screaming like an audience member just got shot in front of her face. Wild

Request: I feel like too many people draw Shadowheart being pretty and shit. Which. Fair. She is. But I think more people should draw her killing and stabbing and stuff.

Shadowheart after 5 fights totally spent on magic but she remembers she can throw hands

maomao: you're ALWAYS beating around the bush you never say anything directly there was a man *a rant about a client who lost the one he loved to someone else because he didn't say things clearly*

who knew all took to save anime was autistic protagonists with weirdly specific hyperfixations (thank you laois dunmeshi, frieren, and maomao apothecary diaries)

I’ve watched a few Chinese court dramas growing up and I have to say, nobody got game like Mao Mao

arataka-reigen

Such a small detail that didn't even need to be included if this were a lesser anime. A quiet scene, a moment of gratitude without words from a woman who didn't think she still wanted to live and the woman who saved her.

The Kusuriya no Hitorigoto anime is great, but God does the opening crack me up. You get a minute of this girl tarted up and dancing but when the story is actually on she's like

She is so salty they made her walk the gutter.

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.

HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.

They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.

They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).

Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.

The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.

Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.

The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.

she stormed in her son's room to have a drink with him saw him with his friend pushed against the wall said dude you should have told me earlier or we wouldn't have been looking for a bride for you and left the mother of the nation we all deserve

maomao's aversion to jinshi only to then have a crush on lady ah duo is really funny to me

Okay I know we talk a lot about the significance of Jinshi giving his hairpin to Maomao and how it is a romantic gesture and how the garden party's kind of a turning point in their relationship, but can we also talk about how Lady Lihua walked up to Maomao, saw she was already holding two seperate hairpins, said "No, you should have more" and then took one of the nicest pins she had out of her hair and handed it to Maomao in front of her entire entourage and all of Lady Gyokuyou's other ladies in waiting? Walks up to her, basically goes "I dont care if it could get you in trouble with your boss, you're too pretty to only have 2 of these" and then also gives her a token of affection with like, 20 witnesses.

Are, are we seriously not going to unpack any of that?
