*taps mic* hello i am once again here to discuss the subversion of gendered tropes in the apothecary diaries when it comes to jinshi and maomaos growing romantic relationship and I'm surprised I didn't say this before bc its one of the most obvious examples but

can we talk about the way Jinshi just like... follows Maomao's lead? essentially. like not to say he doesn't take initiative or take charge of things but like.... can we talk about how he observes her (before she starts observing him too is what I'm referring to) and it's crucial to how he falls in love with her so much so that it's the one constant you see in official art; him watching her as shes inspecting plants, him literally following behind her. he learns from her not only about plants and poisons and medicine but about how to navigate the world outside of palace walls yk or how ppl outside the palace (esp women) live

and its so distinct bc usually in these historical dramas its always the WOMEN who learn from men. like its always the women who live sheltered lives and learn from men about the "real world"

jinshi is not afraid to be guided by her or learn from her, or even recognize that she may know more than him in certain situations, he values her intelligence even tho he's not only a man but a man of royal birth like literally who is doing it like him for real for real

OFF- to exile.

queen of heart grian lets go, design by @y0gurtfae <3

So we've all heard of angsty anti-watcher grian right? But..but! What about chaos gremlin pro-watcher grian. Where instead of the trauma breaking him, ut ends up manifesting in a pure-devastating hatred for the world and he ends up rising the ranks in the watcher realm being dubbed Chaos Lord Xelqua, inevitably being a fucking God in the human realm, even being worshipped by many. And instead of being forced into the death games that is the life series, it's just a little mortal torture activity he thought of out of pure boredom and utter disregard for human emotion. And imagine that the death games had been going on centuries before grian even joined, having not just the current members but also other mortals he deems interesting and possibly entertaining and only joining in Third Life where he meets scar and gets attached to him. And he hates it.

An immortal God that can overpower all mortals–stuck in the dark for all of his life–meets an annoying ray of sunshine that's able to overcome the shadows he's engulfed in. He hated it. He hated him as he is the only being that can bring him warmth. And that's the problem. Scar is a human. And a human life is fleeting. Scar is a mortal. Not even a God can change that fact.

In the life series, the players are to die permanently after the three lives are over and are to be replaced by new ones, essentially making it a hardcore series. But in Grian’s desperation, he made it so that their souls are preserved in the system as to not kill them permanently.

His dismissive attitude of scar is a cause of his frustration at not being able to keep him alive and partly blaming him for making him feel the way he does.

Add the fact that there are others as well. In limited life, he got attached to the bad boys and want to keep them alive as well and one thing led to another and he is attached to all of them.

In the original life games, the winner is to be set free and able to live their life. So in this version he makes it so every single one of them is able to win in hopes that they all are able to be set free and escape.

Little things I don't think non-cane users would know cause Issues™, for reference in writing!

- gusty wind not only throws personal centre of balance off but if you've got a lightweight metal cane it will throw your placement of the cane off

- same goes for being driven past by busses or lorries

- uneven pavements can suck my ass the cane is meant to be parallel to your leg and this is very hard to do when the pavement isn't level

- same goes for cobbled streets, brick paved streets tend to be smoother so I love them <3

- some paving slabs get really slippy when they're wet! This often means that I lean on my cane much heavier bc I can't rely as much on even my good leg to stay stable

- yes cane height should be adjusted to account for heels/ wedged shoes it's a bit of a bastard if you used a fixed length cane

- using a cane for the first few days/weeks hurts! If u only use it irregularly/ on bad days it can hurt every time! Wrists aren't used to taking weight in this way.

Check RBs and my asks tag for more info!

Some bg element studies because yeah
