There's only one version of me - and this is she.

First flying duck (Caleana major - large duck orchid) of the spring near Genoa, East Gippsland, VIC. Only a few scattered plants out in flower here but quite a few more of these very distinctive orchids in bud nearby - despite the recent dry conditions.

@viz omg thank you so much for that! Means a lot to have someone who actually reads. 😭

@viz Oh, I know most of what happens. Like I said, I've been skimming ahead, and you get to know major plot points when doing that. Just haven't read properly.

Haha, would be funny to watch in Tamil. But I also don't want to tarnish my view of the show. Even the English dub that others have been praising rubs me the wrong way. Feels like a desecration after the perfection of the Japanese voice acting.

Anyway, just shared the blog post where I went on & on about this, so will stop here.

#Inktober Day 8 blog post up finally. Skip to paragraph 3 for #Maomao and #TheApothecaryDiaries content - first 2 are my usual ramblings. I have a whole lot more to say about #Kusuriyanohitorigoto and will hopefully do another post when I draw Jinshi and the others.

Inktober Day 8 – Maomao from The Apothecary Diaries

We’re back baby! Finally. Sort of. After that Miyamura sketch for Inktober Day 7, life and things kept me away from art for a while. I was trying to remember what things but needed the help o…

Ramble With(out) A Cause

@viz @kotarokashima 🙌 I don't remember which volume I'm on because at one point I got too impatient for more JinMao content that I started skimming. Should go back and read properly from vol 5 or 6.

Recommend watching the anime too because the VAs are phenomenal and they did a great job with the adaptation overall. Even made up for some mistranslations and ambiguity in the LN.

@kotarokashima you should watch this clip and then you should watch the show.

@viz you already know about kusuriya, I'm guessing. If not, get on it!

Oh, here's the scene I mentioned. Gaoshun holding Chibi Maomao's arms, Jinshi's panicked reaction and 'hake!' followed by Aoi Yuki going all out with Maomao's gurgly puking sounds. Just perfect comedy material. And ofc him picking her up like a cat by the scruff of her neck in the end. 🤭 #Kusuriyanohitorigoto #TheApothecaryDiaries

We're back baby! Maomao was a no brainer once I saw the prompt 'reckless'. Like who could be more reckless than her?

And of course had to draw her look from that scene with the seaweed. Among my top favourite funny scenes with her & Jinshi. #Inktober #kusuriyanohitorigoto #theapothecarydiaries

@viz Hmm that's not how I read it at all. I'll wait till you get further ahead to see your reaction.
