#a hint of animation

[ingoodjesst]

one thing i really like about the apothecary diaries is how fluidly maomao moves between high- and low-class society, between the rear palace and the pleasure district, allowing us to see the parallels in the power dynamics. in both settings, we see women trying to make the most of their relative stations with whatever tools available to them, which are often shared. much of the politics of the series centers women and the ways they try to navigate the world through seduction, marriage, beauty, fashion, manipulation, etc, because these are the things they're valued for. their appearance, their social graces, their "purity", their marriageability, their ability to bear children, and beyond - these all lend political, economic, and social leverage to themselves and their families regardless of class.

the mystery angle in particular enables the story to closely examine what tools and motives are available to women in the apothecary diaries in a way that's contextualized and humanized. it's also how the series highlights said women operating with a keen awareness of society's expectations and systems. whether that's applying deathly white powder to maintain impractical beauty standards, faking illnesses to deter certain visitors, using parlor tricks to subtly punish callous men, or wearing ostentatious outfits to hide a certain truth, each mystery we encounter reveals more about what it means to navigate the world of the apothecary diaries as a woman in addition to revealing their cleverness (or lack thereof) in doing so.

maomao is no exception to the rule, often weighing similar questions of propriety and power before she acts - although she does engage from a unique position. she's a literate woman from the lower class with special circumstances surrounding her birth, versed as an apothecary, and favored by highly ranked members of the court. this, plus her marked lack of ambition beyond medicine, gives her a lot of mobility between and (relatively) unbiased insight into both the high- and low-ranked parts of society. in turn, we readers are given a fantastic protagonist to explore what i consider a core draw of the series: seeing how maomao chooses to move through the world, highly conscious of her own social positioning as well as that of all the other women around her

#the apothecary diaries #kusuriya no hitorigoto #maomao #my jessays #anime analysis #there's extremely light hints at content beyond the anime and even manga but i tried to be careful #kusuriya analysis #idr how to tag this for myself lmao i think tad stinks as an acronym frankly #anyway i love how much women are centered in the apothecary diaries it's truly delightful and i love seeing maomao connect with other women

[lowkey-loki245]

Just a small headcanon that might not be that new of an idea,

This scene where Teruki slammed his fist on Shigeo's chest restarted his heart.

And that's why Mob woke up on the inside.

Kinda poetic in a way.

#i actually ship Mob and Teruki so I mean it's poetic as in Mob's boyfriend was the one who brought him back to life #mob psycho #mob psycho 100 #mob psycho spoilers #just in case y'all are like me and only recently got into the anime #mob x teruki #only hinted towards and mentioned in the tags but im adding it #terumob

The fact that there's a JJBA character named "Lisa Lisa" constantly throws me because literally every single time I see that name I'm immediately seized by a vivid mental image of a live-action adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure produced with the same directorial style and budgetary constraints as The Room.

in light of the recent stories coming out & being covered about animal rescuers being taking to court, consider this: if the animal agriculture industry isn't bad, why do they care so much whether a few sick/injured and, in their words, "unprofitable" animals are taken away from their farms? why are they so determined to press charges over this, to forcefully assert ownership of "property" over animals they recently admitted were worthless, and make the rescuers face jailtime and criminal records? why are they so unshakingly adamant that whatever footage these rescuers took of the insides of their farms remain unreleased, restricted and hidden from public view?

#hint: it's because like any other massive-scale tax-funded multi-billion industry. it's fucking evil #vegan #veganism #animal liberation #animal rights activism #environmentalism #environmental activism #animal rights #anarchism

I see they’ve been paying close attention to the fandom.
