"Artistic representation" of a scene from LN12
Hulan: H- Maomao and Chue:
LN15 SPOILERS
Maomao’s hate for Hulan knows no bounds. She wants that man GONE.
HULAN MY FRIEND HULAN Ive missed her so much. You Gotta post screencaps and/or sketches of her revamp
HULAN!!! Here she is!! A redesign to be sure but tbh I'm kind of in love with the feathers?? A rewrite, too - don't think she's my dragonborn anymore. More of an auntie to my dragonborn. She was in the Vigilants of Stendaar at the same time as my DB's mom and Isran were. Hulan left the same time Isran did, but unlike him she actually kept in contact with a few friends.
Been spending time travelling Skyrim hunting undead, vampires, werewolves, etc. Can't decide yet if she worships the Eight OR if she worships Meridia (who IMO is the daedric mirror of Stendarr) and left due to disagreeing with the Vigilants starting to hunt daedra worshipers.
At the start of game, she's picked up the trail of a werewolf near Whiterun and started investigating. She's gonna go undercover with the Companions and eventually find out who it is (I'm thinking Vilkas). Eventually she'll get roped into Dawnguard and the rest of the story, too.
The prophesied duo. Saviors or destroyers?
I haven’t drawn my Dragonborn in a while!!!❄️
Hulan is like AI
Annoying as fuck, pops up everywhere you don't want him to, can "handle anything", might get you killed accidentally, will set himself on fire if he failed a simple task
Corporate said we must adopt it/him but Maomao and Chue can't wait to uninstall his ass
Presenting the Top 10 Biggest Haters in Apothecary Diaries.
All of this was written by memory pretty quickly for fun, just as a nice contrast to my previous appreciation post of all the positive romances, friendships, and family relationships. Characters can appear as haters or targets multiple times. This is based on magnitude of the hate, not how much I like it or how iconic it is. Major light novel spoilers ahead
---
10. Maomao on Tianyu - Was so bad she lashed out on him in the middle of the Emperor's surgery. Another case of Maomao hating on someone very similar to her without realizing it
9. Jinshi on Rikuson - Dude is so jealous like girl chill
8. Maomao on Lahan - Bickering, toe crushing, though the real damning moment was when Maomao completely laid out all the things she finds reprehensible about Lahan when trying to dissuade Sanfan from being in love with her. That's hate right there
7. Maomao on Hulan - Yeah, can't blame her, crazy-ass weirdo who forced her to go into hiding and risk her life multiple times
6. Chue on Hulan - She wants to kill this guy in his sleep so bad, instant venom anytime she sees him still being allowed to walk around, just serving Jinshi. Very funny, though obviously not as funny as...
5. Maomao on Lakan - If this were ranked by how iconic and hilarious the hating is, this would be #1, of course. Series squeezes a lot of comedic moments out of Lakan's undying devotion for a daughter who hates him passionately. Very insistent that Lakan is not her father even when asked to report the factual situation, and both Jinshi and Lihaku have unfortunately witnessed her angry look
4. Chue on Her Mother - Chue hates her biological family, as she herself said to Ujun, but her mother is the #1, of course. Hates how she left her and her father behind and essentially ruined her life, leaving her to fend for herself. And on top of it all, her mother's not even good at her job and is overall kind of a loser. Chue would almost certainly take delight in her death. Similar to #3
3. Loulan on Shenmei - She tricked Shenmei into killing herself, and committing matricide is the "winning the Super Bowl" of hating your mom so she already wins over Chue there. Though she did care for her mom enough to fulfill Shenmei's revenge on the royal family by scarring the Moon Prince's perfect face so she's not quite on the same level as, well, her mom.
2. Shenmei on Former Emperor - There's several boatloads of people who hate this piece of shit, but she's the #1, the one who made it the most "everyone else's problem." She went to all that effort scheming against the regime as revenge against the already dead Former Emperor, making her husband and daughter and everyone around her suffer in the process. Hate destroyed her soul
Rikuson on Gyoku-ou - As cliche as it is, a classic "You killed my [family member] as a child, I will devote my life to killing you" revenge tale must be the one to top this list. He saw Gyoku-ou kill his mother and sister and eventually worked his way into his inner circle and killed him in cold blood. Top tier hating
Honorable Mentions:
Joka on Men - Misandrist icon
Basen on Maomao (initially) - He had no chill in the early novels 'cuz he could not grasp this commoner girl acting so casual with the Moon Prince. Though he's since mellowed out
Taomei on Gyoku-ou - Everyone in Jinshi's entourage hated this guy but she was the most enraged about it, I'd say. Though she still kept it professional to the point of admonishing Basen for being too vocal
En'en on Tianyu - She did not like his vibes at all, definitely didn't like him back either
En'en on Lahan - Calls him evil for trying to get Yao, and in general just because of her Yao-brained nature she naturally opposes the guy for pushing against Yao no matter what
En'en on Mister Love Letters - This was funny. Also sorry En'en for making multiple Honorable Mentions but not the Top 10, you're a good hater but you've got nothing on Maomao and Chue
Sanfan on Yao & En'en - She wants to kick these girls out of the house so bad, plus Yao as a romantic rival when she loves Lahan so much is something she can't abide by
Chue on Shikyou - Again, she hates her whole family
