I Have Some Ideas For Nsfw Knh Art Ugggh I Hate Not Having Time To Draw

GUYS BE PATIENT! YAO AND EN'EN WILL COME

I have seen people genuinely disappointed that Apothecary Diaries is not yuri, and it's so funny because there is not a single point (canonically) in the series that suggests that she has so much as romantic crush on any woman??? 😭 Some even treat it as criticism, which is kinda weird since the story would not be remotely the same if not for Maomao and Jinshi's overall dynamic and connection (not just the romantic aspect of their relationship) which is, in part, influenced by their positions in society as a commoner woman and a high-ranking man.

I kinda feel like people want to change things about Maomao's character to fit a mold that she just doesn't fit. Someone pointed out that one of the reasons why Jinshi seems to be the only character in the series that people constantly hold to modern standards is because he gets in the way of her fitting that mold. The excuses I see just to make her being in a relationship with him seem "forced" are hilarious; y'all need to be comfortable disliking things simply because you don't like it. Some of the same people who get mad at people for enjoying the romance aspect of the series when it's not harming anyone. I agree that the series is so much more than just romance, but that doesn't mean that it being someone's favorite aspect is wrong. Part of me thinks that some people feel as if she isn't "unique" enough if she falls for him, when a) that doesn't ruin her character and b) she has so many qualities that make her interesting regardless.

For example, I saw a post (not on here) that said it was terrible to see a girl so "obviously" autistic and ace-coded to be "groomed" into a romantic relationship. It really gets to a point. 😅

And her only falling for one (very persistent and attentive) person makes so much sense because it is hard for her to even open up her walls enough to openly regard someone as a friend (like in the most recent episode). What makes you think she will go around easily falling for all these people.

People are going to have to come to terms with the fact that, although romance isn't the main genre, there is without a doubt romantic development between the two, especially starting with LN 5 content.

(This is about the general online English-speaking side of the fandom — especially twitter and tiktok. This is not about people who enjoy other ships, just my thoughts about people who I have seen complain and act like it drags the series down.)

i guess the apothecary fans here don't care about smut fan art

the face study got much more attention T-T

guess i won't finish that WIP then TT---TT

I've finished the anime, how am I supposed to live now not being able to follow their lives t-t

Gotta catch 'em all.

See the individual posts here where you will also find all the references to the original woodblock prints and artist credits.

Finally caught up with Apothecary Diaries. I can't believe they gave Maomao a gun.
