Haystack posted:Yeah, normally with a star-crossed romance like this we'd be getting at least a bit of pining after impossible fruit, but there's been absolutely nothing coming from Maomao's direction. It's particularly noticeable thanks to the contrast with her poison fetish. Eh...in Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth thinks Darcy is scum for the first half of the novel. That's like the most famous star-crossed romance there is, isn't it? Charlz Guybon fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Jan 19, 2024 |

it's the standard for bodice ripper-style romance novels for the female lead to dislike the male lead at first, and to be won over later by his extreme hotness.

"I can guarantee you a comfortable life" is not the worst offer. Maomao's the sort to demand to see a full account of all their assets first though.

At what point was he likable? To this just-anime-watcher, he only ever gave off “will probably be a creep antagonist?” vibes the few times he was shown before today. Unless I’m forgetting scenes. edit: vvvv ah gotcha! bitprophet fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Jan 21, 2024 |

I meant that he was likeable for the couple minutes of his appearance this episode right before he revealed how despicable he was, when he just seemed like a possibly-gay guy who liked playing board games and annoying Jinshi.

Gaoshun is really good at dealing with Maomao's weirdness. He does know how to motivate her and how to keep her on track. That guy is so good at his job.

Oh, look, Jinshi.exe has stopped working and must be restarted. Turns out it's easy for Maomao to break him, even accidentally. Monocle guy continues to be creepy even more so in this episode. And, a silly thought: if I would ship anyone in this series it would be Maomao and Gaoshun, 'cause those two know how to work together brilliantly and legit seem to know how the other ticks.

Gaoshun has to anticipate the actions of some very stupid smart people around him, I guess when it comes to Maomao he just turns the propriety filter down about 30% when it comes to predicting how she'll behave.

DeadFatDuckFat posted:Hoping that weird monocle guy isn't somehow maomao's biological father One silver lining to that possibility is that it would elevate Maomao's status from that of a lowly commoner to...the bastard of a high ranking military officer. Okay, not the most prestigious of social status but surely at least a step up from a commoner. I don't know how not-Imperial China treats bastards or whether they would ever be permitted to inherit any status and titles (especially in this case with Lakan not having any offspring of his own to pass on any inheritance) but it would be a lucrative way Maomao to climb the social ladder. On the other hand, it's one hell of a poison pill (okay, bad analogy given we're talking about Maomao) given how much of an irreprehensible vibe he's given off.

I mean, look at how carefully maomao has to tread with ANYONE because basically she interacts with because basically even the lowest figures in the imperial harem still have a massive power disparity over her. Yeah "my dad is a military officer of some note" is a step up in that regardless of actual material benefits that may or may not come. Would it actually be worth it with Him Specifically? Very different question.

Random thought. The "La" is Lakan's family name. If Maomao was his and they did the same kind of thing with her name then

Yeah "my dad is a military officer of some note" is a step up in that regardless of actual material benefits that may or may not come. So, (recent manga spoilers about Lakan's precise status within the court) Lakan is the head of a notable clan, and holds high esteem due to his military status. However, he lacks high ambitions and is not associated with any court factions. He's generally left to his own devices on account of being an incredibly skilled schemer who is simply not worth the trouble of crossing.

I really love how much this show is willing to let scenes breath. This entire episode was a single chapter in the second volume. Same thing for the previous episode about the raw fish.

Was there a point to the raw fish mystery or is it building anything? Seems random. Oh it was the obvious brother. Yea it was. The end?

Yeah, that case got resolved. The interesting part was that Lakan kind of played Moriarty there.

The seaweed/raw fish episode's mystery isn't especially relevant to the overall plot. It was a chance for Laken to get his introduction and for characterization of some of the side folks involved.

The seaweed/raw fish mystery will come back, though as a minor piece of the overall scheme that Maomao only sees by picking around the edges.

It's like the term "mad as a hatter". When felts are all the fashion in hats, and felt production requires heavy mercury use, you either go out of business or you go mad after a few decades of mercury poisoning.
