Neat

jokes that will literally never not be funny to me:

always been struck by the intelligence that apothecary diaries treats its characters with. everyone in some way is shown to be so smart in a way that feels so human. maomao was taught formally by her father, lady gyokuyou and other concubines are perceptive and educated as they would be and would have to become to be in their position, and jinshi, while not as perceptive is just as perceptive as he needs to be to survive in the palace, similar to the concubines but in the nuance of his position and gender. it can't be understated how much it doesn't rely on shallow girl-bossery, the women are smart- gyokuyou and maomao just get each other and maomao's sisters are both talented and effortlessly navigate complicated political and personal relationships as we see later on, both their own and maomao's.

the apothecary diaries basically took over my life for the last few weeks and I need more immediately

cheers to those who've been living with him for this long and manage to keep a straight face

maomao is so fucking funny like almost every inner dialogue she has about jinshi is "this man is for the BISEXUALS and he is a SLUT"

Started watching the apothecary diaries somebody please save her

It’s them… About their own story..

I enjoy watching Jinshi slowly but surely become a beleaguered pet owner who's trying to keep his temperamental cat from poisoning herself

Maomao being dragged away

You're just not toxic enough.

maomao and her dedication to never discovering anything about jinshi's personal life

fake idgafer final boss

trying to dodge the Central Storyline at all costs

“Look buddy the script says I’m supposed to get poisoned and you are NOT gonna ruin that shit for me”

someone call our man an ambulance

He tried. That's why he bought an ox bezoar for her.

maomao when every important figure in the empire keeps asking for her help

The fandom loves the make jokes and memes about how Jinshi cannot successfully flirt with maomao and every attempt falls flat. Hilarious, i love these jokes too. But i dont think we talk enough about how funny it also is that Jinshi also has to constantly be aware of maomao like a petowner whos pet is constantly eating shit they shouldnt

Maomao: *eating poison on purpose*

Jinshi: what are you eating?

Maomao: *starts chewing faster*

Jinshi: what is in your mouth?! Spit that out! Spit that out right now!!!

Maomao: *trying to scurry away before he catches her*

Meowmeow and her owner Jinshi!!!

New hard rule any woman should enforce ever is if you’re dating a guy and he says he watches red pilled alpha male podcaster content or shows support of it in ANY way (ie something covert like “I don’t like his personality but he makes some good points” ) you go GHOST. I know women are taught to “accommodate ppl’s flaws” but literally this is a misogynistic cult right in the public eye and it’s all fun and games until a woman gets murdered for existing (which has literally happened as a result of Tate’s content)

Also why is Andrew Tate even allowed to have an online platform still… last I checked he was in trial for essentially sex trafficking a ton of women????? Why is he still on Twitter. Why are people sharing posts of him and ridiculing it as if everything needs to be funny and a meme. This is literally so sick he should be behind bars not being memed not even being a laughing stock like he should be excommunicated from civilization

Everything that’s been happening w him is insane and a cautionary tale that you can never be “too safe” and that you should ruthlessly vet every man you ever interact with ever, because women’s lives are being taken due the pressure to come off as chill or like they’re not doing too much. Please be safe. You can never be too sure genuinely

These tags give me the opportunity to mention that conservative men tend to be very quiet & insidious about how deep into this red pilled content they are at first, bc they know it will scare any modern woman w two brain cells away. There are literally interviews of conservative men admitting that they keep their “politics” (read: misogyny lol) under wraps at first bc they want women to give them a chance (read: they want to hook up w them, get them emotionally attached before they reveal their true colors).

Most men Will lie about how deep down this rabbit hole they are. Men who’re more sane will be a lot more open and staunch about being against this kind of content from the beginning. It’s literally the strategy of these men to slow release their beliefs, in hopes that after a point the girl they’re dating is attached enough to them to let it slide, or even to start conforming to their ideology. It’s so sick and twisted tbh!

This hasn’t happened yet, but just pre-empting in case this breaks my moots’ circles — radfems/terfs this post isn’t a safe space for you 🩷🩷 do us all a favor and block me 🩷🩷🩷 and my trans girlies please stay safe out there… this post is for all women and I hope ur keeping all the redpilled weirdos at the farthest distance possible
