Maomao and Jinshi | The Apothecary Diaries S2 opening

[aashi-heartfilia]

Could I ask who you ship in MHA?^^ also if you do emoji anons could I be this 🍙anon?^^

I ship a lot of characters in MHA and a lot of pairings that I simply enjoy, not romantically but I just love watching them on screen:

1. TogaChako: our resident Doomed Yuri

2. IzuOcha: gets too much hate for being good

3. Kacchako: maybe the ship that exists in my head only, though Daily crumbs might be responsible for this, lol. Art so good that makes you ship two characters like crazy!

4. Ochako and Mina: I wish we got more of them, my precious space girlies

5. Ochako and Hawks: Wishful thinking

Yeah, I'm the kind of person who ships Ochako with just anyone but another storyline I'm interested in is Twice and Toga. I really like this dynamic between Toga X Twice X Ochako X Hawks. That's quite a pairing I can go on and on about!

Speaking of which I also like Deku X Melissa and many other ships in MHA, but these are the only ones I can currently think of.

Also, yes you could be 🍙anon!

~See ya

[aashi-heartfilia]

Hiiii!^^ do you have the full manga panel where hawks passed out and remembered Uravity? I can’t find it anywhere but I really wanna know what was said to make him remember!^^

It's from ch 416 when Ochako needed serious medical attention and the reporter was the one to get her to the hospital. The reporter didn't exactly know her name and called her 'gravity-or-something' but hawks immediately recognised that it was none other than Uravity, the hero who grabbed a microphone and started yelling from the rooftops (just kidding)

But he immediately thought back to this moment:

I think it's kind of amazing cause it shows how much impact her speech had. By the way, Hawks is referring to this line from ch 325:

Just after Ochako's grand speech in ch 324

I think that also linked Ochako and Hawks to the beacons of hope lore, cause Hawks always imagined a future where Heroes have too much time to kill and in the epilogue we also see it happen. It's because heroes have too much time to kill, Izuku and Ochako could go out without worrying too much.

What Hawks says here is very important cause it also foreshadows what happened later in the manga.

[aashi-heartfilia]

I'm trying to answer as many questions as possible but due to my busy schedule I might not be able to answer them immediately. I like taking my time and honestly answering each ask. So even if it might take some time, I'll answer your asks, rest assured.

[aashi-heartfilia]

IM SO HAPPY OCHACO AND DEKU GOT TOGETHER. I’m a big Togachako shipper but I’ve always rooted for Ochaco and deku!!

*Spoiler Alert*

Same I love TogaChako with all my heart and tbh I was pretty heartbroken when Toga sacrificed herself but what could be more romantic than living permanently inside your gf?

No seriously, I kinda loved that Horikoshi decided to include that, just like how Shigaraki will always be a big part of Deku's life, Toga will be a big part of Ochako's life as well. After all, it was after Toga's blessing that Ochako decided to finally accept and embrace her feelings for Deku. And finally after 400+ chapters IzuOcha was finally canon, DAMN!

[aashi-heartfilia]

Okay so some of my headcanons!^.^ some I have reasoning for, the others I don’t really!^^

• I feel like my biggest one is that Dabi is Aroace, as much as I love shipping fanon Dabi with Hawks when I think of canon Dabi I headcanon him as Aroace.

• my cutest head canon is that Hawks watches/reads anime/manga. I just think it’s cute!>.< I also headcanon that he’s a Sukuna fan, I don’t know why I just think it’s a fun idea!

• Aizawa is like a found father for class 1a! It’s so sweet to think about.

• from world heroes’ mission, I’ve always felt like Rody Soul is bisexual . I don’t really have any reason for that— neither do I ship him with anyone but I just think it’s a nice lil’ headcanon.

• Todoroki, Midoriya and Iida done that baking challenge where you lose one of your senses— Iida with sight (he definitely panicked), Midoriya with his ears and Todoroki with his mouth. The entire challenge was a disaster, but somehow tasted okay.

• Izuku and Ochaco done matching Halloween costumes— think like, matching mummy costumes or Mavis and Johnny from Hotel Transylvania.

• Sapphic Momo!^^ I love the silly lil idea she’s wlw<3

— Not headcanons but my favourite characters are- Keigo Takami (Hawks), Shinya Kamihara (Edgeshot), Touya Todoroki (Dabi), Atsuhiro Sako (Mr compress), Himiko Toga, Ochaco Ururaka and Neito Monoma!^.^

— I’m not really a big shipper, but my favs are- Dabi x Hawks, Momo x Jirou, Izuku x Ochaco and Toga x Ochaco!^.^

Great 😃 you don't need a reason to ship any character as long as you enjoy it! You could ship two characters who have never interacted in the whole series and still make an amazing pairing. That's what I love about shippings 🫶 They have all my heart 💓

Also your headcanons are great anon. I can easily picture Hawks as an Avengers character, so I can definitely picture him reading anime and manga.

Yes, Aizawa is definitely that tired dad, it goes without saying.

I personally don't have an opinion about Rody. I think he's very overrated for a movie character, but that might be just my unpopular opinion.

Need an ep about those 3 dorks!

They are soulmates! They're definitely matching every chance they get!

At this point it's not even a headcanon for momo. It's her reality.

I also love Hawks, Ochako and Toga (from your list)

OMG! I ship most of them too! You've a good taste anon.

[aashi-heartfilia]

Is this a safe space to share some headcanons I have for different MHA characters?^.^

Sure! I'd love to hear them🤗

[aashi-heartfilia]

Did Ochaco tell hawks about her upbringing? Or was it a headcanon? I can’t find anything about it

No she didn't. That was also a headcanon (A girl can dream). Ya know, sometimes I feel like half of the story is in my head and only half is written on paper.

[aashi-heartfilia]

Wait hawks asks Ochaco to be the next president of the HPSC? Or is that like a headcanon? Either way it’s adorable oh my gosh!

Oh no, that was my headcanon anon. I just love to stay in my tiny little bubble of happiness where all my favourites are happy and chilling with each other.

[aashi-heartfilia]

Ochaco x deku became canon? Or was it implied? Either way I’m so happy!!

Yes they did become a canon couple. Not implied but rather thrown straight at our faces, at the very last chapter 431, where Deku realised that Ochako is a very special person to him and he wants to talk to her more.

Some people call it cliched but I think it's a beautiful ending regardless, with two selfless people discovering that they can be more selfish about each other and finally be happy together.

[aashi-heartfilia]

Did hawks and Ochaco ever speak? I can’t find anything about them speaking but if they haven’t then that’s such a miss

Totally! We never got an actual conversation happening between them but it is implied in the last chapter 431, that Hawks helps Ochako and her Quirk Counselling program by constantly negotiating with the ministry of Education for funds and other specific areas.

So yay! Maybe the talk did happen. And maybe they're good friends since before the 2nd war even happened Hawks was kinda awestruck with Ochako's speech. He also remembered her name during the 2nd war when he heard she was injured (during the battle with Toga). So we can say, she left quite an impression on him and maybe in the future (somewhere during the time skip) they became friends over a cup of coffee.

It's my official headcanon that when Hawks heard about Ochako expanding the Quirk Counselling, he was one of the first people who came forward to help. In fact, he is the one who approached her first and likes using his position as a previous no 2 hero for striking various deals with different ministries.

And maybe I assume you're looking for some hawksChako tea: I think they can bond the fact that they came from not so well off backgrounds. Both wanting to change the society.

Hawks is friendly and always the one to start conversations.

Ever since Ochako told him about her background and motivation, he likes to take her on little treats sometimes, like maybe taking her to her favorite mochi shop or for an ice-cream.

They often share drinks and Hawks wants Ochako to become the new HPSC president but she politely declines every time, saying she's happy with her life.

And this is all I can easily see happening!

[aashi-heartfilia]

Should I make one?

A lot of people from Twitter, Tumblr and Quora dms are asking me to start a channel for The Apothecary Diaries and MHA, so I thought why not? I'm ready to dive right in! Starting with Apothecary Diaries (releasing 10th Jan), we might even expand to weekly reviews of all seasonal animes!

We'll post weekly reviews, seasonal reviews, analysis, light novel content, deeper analysis and so much more! Basically a fun channel for all of you guys with animes like...

Solo levelling season 2, Baban Baban Ban Vampire, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really Love You Season 2, My Happy Marriage Season 2 and many more!

So are you hyped to dive into this anime journey with me?

The hypocrisy of Jinshi and MaoMao

*light novel spoilers*

I just love how hypocritical MaoMao's nature is. She yells at Jinshi for being a 'Masochist' and yet we see that she's no different. Now, by definition Masochist is a person who drives sexual gratification from their own pain and humiliation, plus it relates to Jinshi's tendency to do self harm (like burning his skin with a brand)

And what is MaoMao's most favourite thing in this world?

POISON

She literally takes pleasure in consuming it and no one can convince me otherwise. Plus she uses dangerous plants and animals and snakes whatnot in the name of her so-called experiments. Her dad may call her a 'mad Scientist' but that is a direct indication of self harm.

And she calls Jinshi a Masochist.

I mean, think about it! The amount of anxiety she gives to Jinshi! She came prepared with a vomit inducing medicine but even she had no idea whether it would work or not. She was just hoping it would work in the salt chapter.

And the same goes for her hand, on which she has conducted countless experiments. One flower even burned her skin and its marks never left her skin. She said it was all for her hobby. What kind of weird hobby is that? Maybe, our little adorable mad scientist is just like that.

One brands his own skin, while the other takes heavenly pleasure in consuming poison.

So my point is, Jinshi and MaoMao are not that different as one might think they are and that's why their dynamic works so well.

Let's look at the excerpts from volume 5:

She didn’t know how long they sat that way. All she knew was that Jinshi was looking down at her with a faintly triumphant expression, as if he saw that the breath had reached every corner of her body now. He wiped away the tears that had sprung to her eyes as she struggled to breathe. It was then that Maomao felt a flash of intense anger. “I said that if you were going to kill me, you should do it with poison,” she told him. “I refuse to let you poison yourself,” Jinshi said, his fingers tracing her lips. “You can’t pretend you didn’t know that you were one of the candidates. As much as I’m sure you’d like to.” He wasn’t done, either: “Who was that man, anyway? I’m sure you’re not a dancer.” So he had been watching them! “I was just paying for my drink,” Maomao said. “It didn’t cost much.” She tried to look away, but with his hand on her head, she really couldn’t.

Jinshi just choked her and yet he refuses to let MaoMao poison herself. A lot of people misinterpret this scene, and don't like it all that much, saying it was just fanservice stuff but this is how I see it: Jinshi wasn't trying to kill MaoMao, he was just trying to make MaoMao submit to him for once (even if the way he did it was very wrong, but guess he's kinky like that). MaoMao is actively trying to harm herself and Jinshi loves MaoMao a lot, he cannot just let her kill herself.

It was more about him trying to exert his dominance in their weirdish - complicated relationship and that also backfires on him as we see in the next volume that MaoMao escapes Jinshi's grasps using Pairin's techniques.

And then they both continue to avoid each other in the entire next volume! Because they both realised that they have crossed boundaries.

They both are hypocrites.

And they both refuse to accept their feelings.

In one of the later volumes, she gives Jinshi a piece of her mind on how he should tell her everything clearly, unequivocally, what he feels, and he literally declares that "he will make her his wife", which is nice and all but look at the wording MaoMao used here....

Excerpts from LN Vol 7, chapter 19 called "A man and a woman play the game"

"You’re forever telling me I need to use my words, Master Jinshi, but are you in any position to criticize? Everything you say to me, everything you do, it’s like it’s calculated to save you from ever having to actually say what you mean! To make me figure it all out! You know, you remind me of someone. You act exactly like a man who used to come by our brothel all the time. He was in love with one of the girls, but he would never just come out and say it. He thought it should be obvious from the way he acted. He was so sure he had a good thing going with this woman that he never sent her so much as a letter. I remember how forlorn he looked when someone else swooped in and snatched her away! He kept coming to the brothel after that—to get drunk and whine to the ladies. Well, in my opinion, he could have avoided all that heartbreak if he’d told the woman how he felt. Clearly, unequivocally, so that she knew where they stood. It was the least he could have done!”

Everything came out in a torrent. She felt like she’d said it all in one breath. It was strange, she thought, to hear so many words come out of her own mouth. She was mystified. Jinshi was no less startled, but the shock soon left his face, replaced by something else. He got up off the bed and stared down at Maomao.

Shit. Now I’ve done it. She’d given him a piece of her mind, and he was about to give her one back.

“So I should be clear, should I? Unequivocal? I should say what I mean? If I did, would you actually listen to me? Is that what you’re telling me? I’m going to hold you to that! Right this minute. I’ll say it all. Don’t plug your ears—listen to me!” He grabbed her hands as she was in the process of trying to put her fingers in her ears. He took a breath. He was looking at Maomao, but somehow he seemed almost embarrassed. Finally he managed, “Now listen to me, y—I mean, Maomao! Listen close! I am going to make you my wife!”

It's one heck of a chapter and I suggest you give it a go! The title of the chapter says "A man and a woman play the game" as if to emphasize the very fact that both Jinshi and MaoMao are playing the game.

Jinshi has never confessed his true feelings before this chapter and only implied that he wanted to make MaoMao his wife.

The implications were heavy though on Jinshi's part, and as smart as MaoMao is, anyone would have guessed that MaoMao was one of the candidates for Jinshi's consort. Even the clothes she received (the ones she wore to the banquet) were also provided by Jinshi along with the hairpin. It is never stated outright but seeing as the hairpin was from Jinshi, the clothes are also implied to be the same.

More or less she's always deliberately ignoring the possibility of having anything to do with him, that is more than professional. Some may call it denial, I call it dense. Maybe, to some extent, she herself is not aware of her feelings because she never lets herself feel anything.

Even Suiren pointed it out pretty early in the manga, that maybe it's MaoMao's way of being reserved. We need to keep in mind that MaoMao is an unreliable narrator and it's more of what she does, rather than what she says that makes a difference.

Even in the chapter that I have quoted above, she had every reason to leave Jinshi, she wasn't working for him after all. But she stayed to make tea for him, even after the fact that she had a long day too. She was almost just as exhausted as Jinshi and yet she was there preparing medicinal tea, so that he could get a better sleep.

Maybe she herself is yet to realise just how deep her feelings run. Till vol 12 she seems to have accepted them, but she still is yet to acknowledge their depth. Maybe it's because of her childhood.

It's not a traumatic backstory but MaoMao had a sad childhood nonetheless....

She was raised by her grand uncle and her real father was eccentric, who scared her. Her mother must also appear to be kind of demonic to her, since she was desperate enough to cut MaoMao's Pinky finger and send it to Lahan. So it's safe to say that MaoMao never received proper parental affection. And adding to the fact that, a brothel is not exactly an ideal place for raising a child.... especially when the birth of MaoMao was the one thing that brought the brothel to its knees...even if being born wasn't her choice.

Plus MaoMao stated it herself that when she was a baby, no one would come to sooth her until their work was finished, implying that even if MaoMao and her brothel sisters are close, they are not that close. A mother's love is different and she never received it. No one can love you more than your mother and MaoMao was deprived of that. She soon realised that no one was coming. Life is hard and she has no choice but to face it!

So, she got interested in poison.

Maybe she doesn't love herself or her life as much as she says / pretends she does. She's always like "yeah, I would very much like my head to be with my body" and "if I stay low profile maybe I can survive here" etc but maybe deep down that's not the case. Maybe that's why she loves poison so much. The implications are crazy.

And to break MaoMao's shell, Jinshi has no choice but to be a bit more forceful at times? At least that's how I interpret that choking scene. Jinshi was angry at MaoMao because she deliberately suggested him to marry consort Rishu and danced with Rikuson.

Even if Jinshi never said it outright, he was giving hints the entire time.

But well the tables turned and MaoMao topped him instead, lol (vol 7) and later we even see that our little stray cat has accepted Jinshi and she's ready to be in a relationship with him (vol 12).

Plus she is intrigued by the process of birth (she wants to eat her baby's placenta, it's kind of uggghhh.... but anyways, that MaoMao we're talking about, she's just weird that way)

Maybe not after too long she'll realise that if she has to give birth, she can only have it with Jinshi and no one else.
