Honestly

I love it when ppl on here reblog your sketches and art and express love in the hashtags. I see you, and you make my heart melt!!!!!

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.

HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.

They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.

They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).

Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.

The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.

Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.

The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.

I’m breaking my silence/break for only one very important reason, then I disappear back into the shadows.

This Thursday, July 13, Met by Accident has been around for six months.  What a journey it’s been.

one thing i love love loove about the apothecary diaries light novel is how it never tells you maomao likes Jinshi it shows you with how she's always monologuing about how beautiful and stunning and pretty and nymph like he is in every chapter. How some moments are just maomao looking, observing Jinshi as he in unaware of her stare. How even her looking at him like he is a bug is also cute and affectionate once you realize that Jinshi likes that look and Maomao looks at him like that not because she finds him disgusting but because she is disgusted in the fact that Jinshi makes her feel things she's never felt before and it confuses her.

I live for this type of romance its perfect for me.
