Hello everyone ! I hope you enjoy your unedited access to my detailed analysis of the Apothecary Diaries episode 6. The covert operation continues, and Maomao shines once again!

What can Maomao not do?? She is truly a jack of all trades and master of many!

i hopped on this video immediately unfortunately this proves i don’t have a life but that’s okay 😔

Yeah, the "Empress Dowager" is a full title. It is like during Queen Elizabeth II's reign, her mother was still alive and her mother was referred to as the "Queen Mother".

I enjoy your Chinese linguistics yapping. It's not something I've seen others do. I would like to see it continue.

Fun Lightnovel Fact from this chapter: Maomao knows that she cannot build immunity to Pufferfish poison, but it is her favorite so she enjoys eating it and then makes herself throw up, so she can live to enjoy it again another day

Those officials (military and court) actually do have their pee-pees. It was explained in LN, that this is one of the few times that ban on Men other than Emperor is lifted. And of course they have to be in this area and they have to be trusted. And they could be used as scapegoats - that is a given.

Another vote in favor of your background information on Chinese history and culture. It really adds a dimension to this wonderful show that I wouldn’t have otherwise. And many thanks to everyone who urged you to choose this show! I’m really enjoying it.👏🏻

Sounds good!! I’m also happy that we’re taking a break from trauma heavy shows lol

Def keep the cultural information! Great added context, stuff most reactors can't add. I will point out, Maomao's interpretation of what Lihaku (the guy she described as a big dog) was doing was correct - you may not have caught he had a bunch of hair pins tucked into his belt to give out. With Maomao's social personality and inclination to hyper focus being the way it is I wonder if she'd be considered autistic nowadays?

Many head-cannoned that she is autistic, I talk more about this in ep 9 :) don’t wanna spoil it til then

I hope you watch Re:Zero one day its a crazy intense anime you would have so much to talk about with every character. The show is nearly as good as Takopi's Original Sin.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is also a pretty good anime much less intense then Re:Zero or Takopi's Original Sin but still great character dramas

I think her not returning Affection is part of it. But I think the bigger thing is that he sees HER. All her weirdness, kindess, dedication, care etc. Like a cat, she doesn't show alot of Affection, but in those brief moments where it shines through, the contrast makes it all the more dazzling. Also, I think a phrase I say alot is relevant: there is nothing more beautiful than watching someone do what they love.

I don’t see any autistic traits. I think people are misinterpreting Maomao’s social indifference for social disability. The translation has her use the phrase “read the room” to question if Lady Lishu knows how to “read a room.” This tells me that Maomao knows how to “read a room” - she just chooses not to. “Reading a room” is intuitive for neurotypicals, but is a learned cognitive process for an autistic person. Most (maybe all) of my autistic friends struggled just to grasp the concept of “reading a room” because they were not even aware of the nonverbal socioemotional communication occurring. Maomao picks up on these nonverbal social cues, but because of her social indifference she doesn’t always know what that communication means. If she was autistic, she would be blind to nonverbal communication that she had not learned.

You have no idea how hard it is to not spoil stuff. I've read all the Light Novels, there are 15 in English so far. I don't recommend stuff because, reasons, but I will say what I like. So I will say it, I like them. Season 2 is good too.
