Ik this might sound off but for some weird reason maomao's dancing sequence in the last ep gave me Vocaloid mmd vibes lol ?¿ i don't mean it in a bad way, vocaloid was one of my early middle school obsessions and even though I still love it and often listen to it it still got me on a nostalgia kick
thank you kusuriya no hitorigoto you keep on making me love you now give me strength to bear it until next season
you know something that was never addressed in both ever after high and monster high; something that has bugged me for a very long time:
Cupid
cupid is something and someone who has never been properly addressed in both of the shows and worlds she is part of.
who is chariclo arganthone cupid?
she’s the adopted daughter of eros, yes, but what exactly does that even mean?
her adopted father is literally the primordial force of procreation.
was she a mortal? a demigod? was she turned into a god by eros? was she already a god? who abandoned her? how did she even come to be adopted by eros?
cupid is something of a goddess; yet she attended high schools in two different world that no one is supposed to even know about.
cupid has unthinkable power.
she can literally control the way people feel.
she’s also a bone elemental, and while im honestly not exactly too sure about what that means, it sounds horrifying in the sense that she can probably control bones.
cupid is an enigmatic figure with endless power and everyone should be rightfully terrified of her.
HOPPER AND BRIAR (before they became besties there was a suspicious will they won’t they tension, they won’t)
The lyrics I think applied to them so well. Meaning they like more bitter, darker spirits than each other. You’re too kind and gentle you’re not my type. I need something with a bite. I did not mean to rhyme whoopsie THEY ARE BESTIES THEY FLIRT AS A BIG BIG BIG TIME JOKE SILLY HAHAHAHAHAH AFTER THEIR INITAL MEETING, THAT IS A GAY GIRL W HER GAYER FRIEND okay I’m done 😚
FIRST TIME DRAWING HOPPER IN 278383737 YEARS DID I EAT OR DID I EATTTTT (I cant draw men)
Omgg, you totally aaaaate! It's so pretty, I love how you drew hopper, you made him look so handsome
this is actually just my depiction of daring with lizzie
she’s everything… he’s just ken

MAOMAO,MY FAVORITE QUEEN👸👑
NO WONDER WHY JINSHI SAMA IS SO OBSESSED WITH HER 💖🥰
SHE’S LITERALLY SO GORGEOUS I CAN’T 😍😍
Ever After High Dolls was an account that often contacted the writers of ever after high and released facts about the franchise. Despite what many people may believe, Raven is not apple’s aunt.
The books also make that clear! In The Storybook of Legends, there's a passage who reads like this:
Raven stopped dead in her tracks. “So, wait, would I become your stepmom?” “Huh?” asked Apple. “In the story. Wasn’t the Evil Queen Snow White’s stepmom?” “Well, she was in our parents’ stories, but…” Apple stared, as if trying to fathom… but, no, it was unfathomable. She shook her head. Raven scrunched up her face. “Just how would that work?” “It will. Somehow. Each generation’s story must be a little different than the last, right? I mean, I’ll be a blond Snow White! You just have to trust that the story will work out in the end.”

Everyone say thank you to Madhouse and JC Staff for keeping shoujo/josei anime alive in the modern anime era.
I finally got that Maomao artwork done! Hopefully there are many more to come, I really wanna draw her with the other outfits! ˊᵕˋ I wished I could have got her personality better though, she isn't giving enough "I don't care about anything except oax bezoars, **** y'all disgusting boring things" vibes
The apothecary diaries is literally my newest, hardest obsession, I'm so glad it exists *sobs*
🌿;; Maomao wip!! I wanna draw her with her ceremonial attire too but felt her ordinary look should be a priority; after all her down-to-earth/average personality and looks are one of the things that makes her a great character 𖹭.
It's a fanart of the first volume's cover art 𖹭.
if you ever feel stupid, I want to let you know that I went the ENTIRE season of kusuriya no hitorigoto WITHOUT realizing the opening's singer was zutto zutto zutto' singer AAAAaaaAa I'm so stupid I have literally been listening to this song for months but only realized now *dies*
-sigh- Now I love this anime even more, I'm not getting out of this fandom pit for a really long time 😔
The apothecary diaries/kusuriya no hitorigoto is such a great anime and light novel imo, I can't get enough of it.
It has a really outstanding yet unusual set of characters to begin with. They aren't your average shoujo fl and ml, like no. Maomao has a really particular personality, being quirky, clever, and so disgusted by/fed up with all the romance, flirting and your everyday palace thing. Her background is also different from what you'll find in most animes: a girl, an apothecary, raised by an eunuch who grew up in the pleasure district. She is a commoner, but not your average one: she literate, dabbles in medicine, yet grew up in one of the most "conflicted" places of the setting.
She's down to earth, and that makes her not only relatable but also a character worth watching. Also, even if she looks at Jinshi like a slug (xD), if you pay attention and/or read the novels, you'll realize that she's very aware of social status and takes it into account a lot, which makes the series' take on its historical side much more realistic than many other series.
And the cast allows the anime to show a rather... "hidden"/"less spoken about" part of history. Yes, you came find other animes, series or dramas with palace intrigues, but one who puts the focus on eunuchs? Or working palace girls? Or someone who works on the pleasure district, but not your average pleasure district job? And what about consorts losing their place as consorts, not because of some palace scheme, but because of actual politics?
I love historical/palace series and mysteries/intrigues, so take it from me, this is has a different take than most of them, and in one of the best way possibles 🤧
Putting jinshi's charms aside, I'm sure the apothecary diaries won't be smth easy to forget for me <3
it's actually very nice that apothecary diaries chose maomao as the protagonist, a girl who was raised in the pleasure district and severely under-ranks(?) many of the other characters in the story. through her, we get proximity to the status of those who were expendable to the royal court, a fact that she herself is highly aware of, and because of this she routinely positions herself between those who are of high rank and low rank. i really like that the series draws attention to notions of hierarchy and expendability, again without being preachy about it, because to be sure, it's not gritty at all, it tends to maintain a lighthearted tone with a focus on interpersonal relationships.
but this direction contrasts strongly with the dozens of western historical/historical fantasy dramas that focus mostly on the upper class and invisibilises the labor that sustains their lifestyles. meanwhile apothecary diaries leans into maomao's skills, the certain amount of ingenuity and knowledge that comes from her being poor and growing up in the pleasure district, and the way her rapport and proximity to the servants of the court enable her to reach places the high-ranked characters can't.
Granny landing a critical hit on Maomao :3
