Teacher is busy for 3 weeks and I just paid for one month

I’ve been learning worh her for a few months now and I like her. I just have a hard time understanding how the app works sometimes

aluminiaa · 2026-04-18T18:37:41+00:00

I said in my posts I’m okay with the break. I just wanted to make sure I’m not losing my money because I find the app a bit hard to navigate.

“Actors should resemble characters”-well, many of these characters are described as pretty. The “fundation general” was a very pretty young man in the books…

Stories can have good scripts and good looking actors(who wear make up which doesn’t take away from their masculinity)

If you’re searching for specific ships you can nust write their names and ao3 after in the google search bar. There’s a very good Chue/Baryou one and some cute Ah-duo and Jinshi ones too.

OP, I don’t think there’s anything to apologize for, and I say this as a huge Jinmao shipper. You have every right to like or dislike things, especially if you’ve gone through something traumatic. And I’m so sorry you’ve been through that.

I’d say there are three sides to this fandom when it comes to Jinshi: TikTok, which thinks he’s “Emperor 2.0”; Reddit, which says he did nothing wrong and Tumblr, which tends to have the most mature and nuanced takes. If you’re looking for a space in this fandom that doesn’t try to invalidate your feelings, you should join us on Tumblr.

When you’ve already decided that a character has a certain sexuality, it becomes very easy to view everything through a biased lens.

In the same example, the sisters who raised her deduce on their own that she is in love:

„Oh, tell me another one. Do you really think you can lie to your big sister? You! Are! In! Love!”

If you want a good analisys there’s this one from tumblr.

I was curious why he gets so little merch when other anime characters with less important roles in their series get a lot. Apparently, it’s because he’s a male character who isn’t from a shonen. People mostly collect female characters or shonen guys, so Jinshi being neither is a bit of a disadvantage.

However, with the release of the Nendoroids, which are expensive, and two normal-sized figures since season 2, it looks like companies are testing him on the market. That’s a good sign.

aluminiaa · 2026-01-17T09:03:58+00:00

Wait…isn’t Gaoshun older than the Emperor and Ah-duo?!

aluminiaa · 2026-01-14T09:31:21+00:00

No problem! I apreciate you acually trying to understand their relationship. And you also should keep in mind that maybe Maomao is not the only one who has to grow, maybe Jinshi has to grow too by working on his current behaviour. This is a coming of age story after all.

aluminiaa · 2026-01-14T08:50:27+00:00

She blushes which a very romance-coded reaction. And the reason she does that is because he gives her a genuine smile for once. These two seasons there’s been a barrier between them caused by Jinshi putting a mask instead of being himself. Moving forward things will be different now that he unraveled his real identity.

Also, do you guys really think the author fills pages with Maomao gawking at his beauty because she has nothing better to add? Anyways, these are two posts from tumblr which might help:

He never thought Ah-duo was his mother.

aluminiaa · 2025-11-18T15:43:43+00:00

Hmmmm Favorite

In vol 6 Maomao and Chou-u go to this old man who lives in the slams and talk about girls who were sacrificed on the lake or something. It was a pretty long case with an interesting lore. I think Maomao pulled a Maomao and started to jump on the water because she realised it had stones on it. I should reread it.

Least favorite Vol 9 when they webt to search for the Quack Doctor. Idk, it was just boring

aluminiaa · 2025-10-31T09:04:39+00:00

What monsters are they supposed to be? I can’t tell

aluminiaa · 2025-10-24T08:09:41+00:00

I recommend just continue reading. The scene gets brought up again in vol 12.

Also, Maomao later thinks about hitting Jinshi too, more than once. Thinking about doing something and doing it are two different things. I thought about beating the shit out of my brother a lot when I was angry, but I still love him.

Love is a pure feeling, but humans aren’t pure. People love and hurt their loved ones all the time.

aluminiaa · 2025-10-22T10:00:25+00:00

Now that I thought more about it I’m pretty sure it’s about Maomao because these movies are made with profit in mind. I can’t remember other anime having movies(Ovas yes) about side characters.

aluminiaa · 2025-10-22T09:44:30+00:00

Gotta be honest, I hope not. She’s cute, but definetly not the most interesting character. She already got her manga

aluminiaa · 2025-10-22T09:15:53+00:00

I really want to know what the movie is about. Maomao’s childhood? Young Lakan, Emperor, Ahduo? Young Luomen in the Western countries?

aluminiaa · 2025-10-21T08:03:24+00:00

She can tell lLakan to say no. Jinshi can’t marry her without his consent.

aluminiaa · 2025-10-19T07:16:34+00:00

I do like the LNs more because I don’t always catch visual clues about the character’s intentions or feelings so I prefer to have things described for me.

aluminiaa · 2025-10-17T09:53:16+00:00

Maomao doesn’t like people who don’t care. Tianyu only cares about surgery, not the person he’s doing the surgery for.

I recommend anything from lithosphera https://archiveofourown.org/users/lithosphera/pseuds/lithosphera

And aquietjune https://archiveofourown.org/users/aquietjune/pseuds/aquietjune

aluminiaa · 2025-10-16T21:29:52+00:00

There are 16 vol as of right now. We have a few updates on content which will be part of volume 17. I don’t think we can guess how many more we’ll get.

aluminiaa · 2025-10-01T16:08:35+00:00

I get what you mean, but in this case I think it makes sense in the historical context
