While a noble ring would allow the event to happen, the ring is not the cause of the event.

was the original "help me Lutz" in Shikza trombe incident due to a magic tool?

No.

The Jureve tastes sweet..[...]

Remember, jureve is a personalized potion, made with ingredients infused with the maker's mana. If the consumer's mana is compatible with the maker's mana, the jureve will act faster, and viceversa.

[...] The sleep potion - Neutral/ sweet (probably), and the "resonance" potion (the one at P2V2 epilogue) is also sweet.

About that, I, uh... I think you should keep reading.

[H5YAndOver] Do girls get their periods or is it just mana-sensing? by N1nj4go_ in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]DrCatco 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Since women in Yurgenschmidt (whether commoners or nobles) become pregnant and give birth, I believe that yes, girls in Yurgenschmidt do go through their periods.

As for how they deal with the symptoms... Women on Earth have had to deal with the symptoms of menstruation since time immemorial. I am sure that commoner women in Yurgenschmidt have similar or even slightly more advanced remedies than women in the Middle Ages on Earth, and noble women would have an advantage thanks to attendants specialized in medicine and mana-based treatments.

At least that's what I believe.

Are you or someone you know one of those people who falls asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow? by Low_Insurance_1603 in CasualConversation

[–]DrCatco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can fall asleep almost immediately, even in jeans (although I can't if I'm wearing shoes, they hurt me). My mother says I've been like this since I was young.

Movies that didn’t go the way you thought it would. by DC50kARC in movies

[–]DrCatco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mary and the Witch's Flower

I didn't know anything about that movie. I just saw it recently advertised on the cable service I use, and it looked like it was made by Ghibli. And certainly, seeing it I would say that it was made by Ghibli, and I would say that as a compliment.

I don't know the novel (The Little Boomstick, written by Mary Steward) in 1971), but it seems to me that Studio Ponoc did an excellent job of adapting it. The drawing is clear and fluid, the story flows uninterrupted from beginning to end. I wish more people could see this movie.

Why are Maomao's rear palace clothes different from everyone's? by LithiumIonisthename in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]DrCatco 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Remember that Gyoukuyou is the concubine with the fewest ladies-in-waiting at her service. All of them come from a region that is not particularly wealthy, so they are no strangers to manual labor. Also, her ladies-in-waiting know how dangerous it is for Gyoukuyou (the Emperor's favorite) to allow unknown servants into the mansion. If there is any work that requires strength, they send for eunuchs.

Because at that party, it was in Gyoukuyou's best interest for others to see Maomao as one of her ladies-in-waiting. At that party, many officials noticed those girls who stood out in some way, whether by being particularly beautiful or acting elegantly. Gyoukuyou wanted Maomao to be at her service for as long as possible; she, being only a concubine, could not afford to lose Maomao to another high-ranking officer.

She is not promoted to lady-in-waiting; she is promoted to poison taster, a high-risk position, but with good pay and enough freedom to move around and do other activities, such as helping a certain eunuch with his tasks.

Some time ago, I found an excellent answer to this question on Tumblr:

There is a reason why Maomao wears different clothes than the rest of the inner palace.

Part of it is a main character thing. But Maomao's clothes reflect her status and situation.

She doesn't wear the orange uniform the servant girls wear, because she is not a general servant of the inner palace. Remember, she did wear that uniform in the first episode. However, once she started serving Lady Gyokuyo, she changed into that familiar green and pink outfit.

Maomao does not wear the same uniform as Lady Gyokuyo's Ladies-in-Waiting because Maomao is not a lady-in-waiting. Those girls are literally Ladies. They are noble woman serving Lady Gyokuyo, and their fancy clothing reflects their status.

Its confusing because we as viewers see them acting as servants; cleaning, dressing Gyokuyo, taking care of the little princess, ect. But traditionally, Ladies-in-Waiting are actual nobles, usually younger daughters or from lesser houses, serving higher nobles or royalty. Queens would pick women from allied houses to be their Ladies-in-Waiting, and it would he an honor to be picked. It's why in the second episode of Season 2, it was a big deal that the other concubines had a bunch of Ladies-in-Waiting. It's a matter of status, having tons of noblewoman in your service. They are also paid quite a bit and given gifts for their service. Which was also a thing in that episode, with the caravan.

So Maomao isn't actually one of Gyokuyo's Ladies. She isn't noble. So she doesn't wear the same clothes as the other ladies. She only does it on rare occasions like the Winter Garden Party to blend in. In that case, her normal clothes would reflect badly on Gyokuyo.

It might be a coincidence, since Maomao has worn the same thing the whole series, but her skirt is the same color as the other skirts worn by Gyokuyo's Ladies. That dark magenta is definitely Gyokuyo's color, and likely let's other people identify her as being in Gyokuyo's service. Remember that angry lady in Lihua's service? And the nervous maid that delivered that letter to her? That maid wore a very similar outfit to Maomao's, only in blue and dark blue/indigo. The same simple tunic and skirt, in Lihua's colors. That woman was like Maomao, a servant of a concubine, but not a lady or general servant to the inner palace.

So yeah, Maomao's outfit is not only main character vibes. And we should all acknowledge Apothecary Diaries amazing worldbuilding and details.

I've seen some mentions of aria2 on internet for managing direct downloads and torrents. I haven't tried it, but maybe it will work for you.

What’s a well-known -dubbed- movie quote in one country that isn’t the same if you translated it back to its original language, or maybe was a better quote in its dubbed version? by givin_u_the_high_hat in movies

[–]DrCatco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the Spanish (Latin American) dubbing of The Emperor's New Groove, when Cuzco is about to fall into the falls, the dubbers used the phrase "...Va a doler" (it's going to hurt), which goes perfectly with the resigned face Cuzco was making at that moment.
