sorry. i'm still here. is this not insane
rewatching the apothecary diaries and it's one of the best series i've ever watched. maomao is so captivating as a main character. her knowledge and skills allow her to help people, even though she says time and time again she wants to lay low. she doesn't want to get involved, yet puts herself in harm's way to solve the problem. jinshi is so interesting as a character. he puts on a persona and hides his true nature so he doesn't have to get involved with the palace politics, yet he has moments where the TRUE jinshi is shown. he has so much at stake, so much responsibility, yet with maomao he's able to forget all of it and be himself. the mysteries, the writing, the tension, the secrets, all of these things make the series so amazing. the plot is so incredible, jinshi and maomao are amazing characters, and their relationship is so beautifully written. every aspect of the apothecary diaries is incredible.
i don't care if the overly kind protagonist is naive and is sometimes "unrealistic". i want to be kind throughout every situation in my life. i want to go through obstacles and have the strength to smile after. it takes more courage to be kind after enduring hardships than it is to be cruel. i just watch & read these amazing characters change the people around them with so much compassion and i can't help but wish i could be that way too. these characters are also so grateful for the people around them, and it reminds me to be thankful for every moment. <3
my favorite recurring kyoru moment is tohru hitting kyo with her pompom scarf
thorfinn at 16 is INSANE. he’s become such a force of nature in just ten years that it’s insane to think how he was just a child fending for himself at one point. although i’m amazed at how strong he’s become, it makes me so sad to see how numb he is to everything around him. he’s too young to be so angry and detached from life. i understand he still grieves for his father but i hope he’s able to find peace sooner or later. despite how much he’s changed, at his heart he’s still the same boy who’s mourning his father.
