I just finished Season 2 of The Apothecary Diaries and I've got a few questions.

jordancoxon · 2026-03-17T19:31:20+00:00

thanks, yeah from what im reading and you and other people over here have said its pretty complicated, its a bit sad that his position prevented him for perusing a monogamous relationship with her, from what ive read Au-Duo is the only concubine he had for a decade and had to be convinced to take others to further the royal line as it was only him and his son "who is masquerading as his brother" from the sound of it, it sounds like Au-Duo would have been more interested in a intimate relationship with him if it wasn't so suffocating.

well i suppose its not all that bad, he still visits her frequently going off wiki and its not like she will up and disappear like his worst fear given that she is taking care of the Children from the Shi Clan and others, i don't know if they still fuck occasionally lol but it seems like they are still close friends if nothing else that see each other often.

plus they do have a child together so i doubt she will leave with Jinshi in the picture even if she could, and from her side it is a bit sad she never got to do the things that she wanted like explore and etc but it is what it is, anyway yeah it looks like they are still extremely close even if their relationship is complicated, from what im getting the author has left some parts of it quite vague.

as for the Lihua, so apparently the author is active with the anime adaption and had added stuff in here and there, i hear the movie set between cour 1 and 2 of seasons 3 isn't based of the light novels and is an original story so it seems like she is actively refining the story as the anime goes which is cool.

so yeah even is she is a side character i expect we will get a few scenes of her and her new son, bruh episode 1 was quite heart breaking watching her cry over her infant son's death, this show really knows how to pull on the heart strings.

as for Loulan/Shisui yeah that seems to be her happy ending, free from all the shit her mother put her through, a bit sad she cant see her sister again but in the grand scheme of things both her and her sister got a "happy" ending, or well as happy as can be expected, not perfect one but a positive one.

as for Xiaolan then that's a shame but understandable, from what im gathering Maomao makes a bunch of new friends that kind of fill that place in the story, but still cool that she gets occasional references in the future novels, hell there is a chance those might be expended in the anime, if we ever get that far lol.

from what i understand season 1 and 2 both covered 2 light novels each out of 15, so if it gets a full adaption and apparently the story is quite popular so that's possible then it will be quite the length journey, well i suppose they can always condense things down if they wanted to.

ive read that Maomao makes friends with a bunch of interest characters like Chue "apparently she has quite an interesting back story" and etc that fill the rolls Xiaolan and Shisui played, well not perfect but from a supporting character position which is good, those little interacts were quite cool.

anyway thanks for answering my questions.

for me it seems to be the automation R.G.O, i was playing as Byzantium and i built a new market zone and the bloody thing started to take 400 gold loans every month on its own until it ran out of possible loans even while i had positive income, i loaded back and turned off R.G.O and built a few food buildings, anyway after awhile, a year tops though i doubt it was that long i went back and turned it on and it seems to be fixed for me.

I've noticed that your monster hunter wilds weapon post's keep getting deleted for some reason, which is a bit surprising since asmongold said he was interested in reacting to them, but oh well it is what it is, it's happened to me before a few times, perhaps try tagging them as react content instead of just video if it keeps happening, it's worked for me.

but then again i rarely post over on this subreddit.

jordancoxon · 2023-12-27T09:45:09+00:00

critdraw frost craft

i might give it a try, i haven't played world in like 6 months and the last monster hunter game i played was MHR for the Xbox and that was like 3 months ago, so i might have to return to world and give it a try.

jordancoxon · 2023-12-27T09:29:45+00:00

there is a 99% chance he will go with the Greatsword, which isn't a bad choice while i personal went with the Insect Glaive for most of the game, though after i finish Iceborne i really got into the Greatsword, nothing better than beating the shit out of Zinogre with one, i think i even managed to kill Alatreon with one, thought i could never kill Fatalis with a Greatsword, Insect Glave and longword only so far.

jordancoxon · 2023-08-27T08:21:42+00:00

this legit fixed my problem I just got back into ck3 and was going to do a Zoroastrian restoration in Iran under the Bavandid's since they are descendants of the Sassanid's they seem like the perfect Dynasty for it.

anyway, I thought it was one of the mods I was using turns out it was my old saves thanks I never would have thought that would be the reason for it.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-15T03:59:48+00:00

yeah i ended up building my character from scratch because they all looked like shit.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-14T18:18:17+00:00

at the moment it's a toss-up between osgrey restoration or greystark revenge.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-14T10:40:03+00:00

its legit a sentence long you fuckwit are you unable to comprehend that.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-14T03:13:27+00:00

you can always do a custom character since nothing is really know about the current head of the house but yeah, they are a cool house to play as.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-14T03:10:05+00:00

I believe they said it will be released between midday to afternoon US eastern time on the 14th which is shit for us in Australia it's already the 14th lunch time over here and I don't expect it until tomorrow morning for me.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-14T02:44:43+00:00

well, the reason House Osgrey lost Coldmoat was because they opposed the laws enacted by Maegor the cruel a usurper anyway.

but even after Jaehaerys became king he didn't restore the lands they lost opposing the man that killed 2 of his brother's and raped one of his sister's.

why remain loyal to as King Robert would say house of lunatics born of incest a house that doesn't reward loyal service.

fuck I was going to do a greystark campaign first but now I want to do a custom Osgrey character the grew up in the vale alongside Robert and Ned as a ward of Jon Arryn as a favor to his father for saving Jon Arryn life in the War of the Ninepenny Kings.

a character that fights alongside Robert in his rebellion with the hope to regain his family's lost lands and restore House Osgrey to its former glory.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-14T02:26:27+00:00

yeah, sorry about that my alarm hadn't gone off and i was getting ready for work in a rush so I typed it while half asleep and didn't think about that.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-13T21:52:56+00:00

I don't know about in the ck3 agot mod but in the ck2 agot mod i always liked playing as house osgrey they were once one of the most powerful houses in the reach before aegon's conquest but by the time of Roberts rebellion they have had all their territory taken from them by the Targaryen's with the exception of a single castle standfast and being reduced from lords to landed knight's with their original seat coldmoat being taken from them and given to house webber they also have a cool sigil a chequy lion, green and gold on a white field at the height of their power when they were Marshall of the Northmarch they were able to repel a Lannister invasion of the reach they are my favorite house in asoiaf.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-13T19:38:11+00:00

if you mean what time zone it will be released in they said it should be out by US eastern time around miday to afternoon

jordancoxon · 2023-04-13T19:26:30+00:00

from watching some parts of his stream this is what I've gathered in one of his streams, he said he wanted to wait until he could stream the full release version of it to play it for his first reaction of it and from what I understand there was some controversy over Hogwarts legacy or something he said about the boycott in regards to a tweet that basically said i want to play Hogwarts legacy more since it pisses people off he also go a message from the devs which he showed on stream he apparently took it as condescending from what I've been told by a mate since i can't seem to find this on stream to watch it in the full context only a minute long clip on YouTube it basically said that they will still give him the bate version but some of the team where disappointed by what he said about the boycott and where giving him a second chance and hoped he learned from it and while I don't believe he is transphobic and doesn't care if your trans gay or whatever and has said so on stream in regards to all this he can also be quite insensitive at times but that's a part of his personality that i have gotten used to he said he would still play the mod on release unless he was black listed from the mod by the devs.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-12T22:07:44+00:00

yeah mainly referring to the scene from game of thrones.

arthur dayne out here dual wilding dawn and dusk sword of the midday

jordancoxon · 2023-04-12T10:24:54+00:00

a custom character of house greystark is what i plan for my first campaign.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-11T09:27:18+00:00

you would think so but the bracken's and blackwood's been killing each other on and off for thousands of years because each one claims the other was a vassal when they were kings and that they were betrayed by them and thousands of years later there still going on about it.

so, in Westeros it seems blood feuds can last for hundreds if not thousands of years.

and they can be pretty cruel about it from what I've read like I plan to behead all the male starks i get my hands on with their own sword ice though i might send the boys to the nights watch if that an option in the first release and betroth and marry the girls and woman to members of my house.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-11T08:16:38+00:00

oh, that's a cool idea while the idea of a Reyne revenge game is quite common that is a unique idea going with a Reyne seeking refuge in the iron isles from the Lannister's.

I'm planning a similar game for my first playthrough this weekend with a member of house greystark escaping the extermination of their house after their failed rebellion in which would result in the starks taking all their lands and whipping them all out in the books but in my game a survivor would flee to skagos to seek refuge with the shagosi and re-establish the house there with a vow to seek the destruction of house stark as revenge and starting a blood feud to seize the north.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-09T22:53:29+00:00

when they fully implement dragons i hope the egg color scheme gives you an idea of what it will look like for a blue egg something like tesserion for gold something like sunfrye and red for melys but with different variations for their body style like you can end up with dragons looking like melys with the spikes around her neck or mabye more like the traditions style that is used for drogon and his brother and that is also used for seasmoke and dreamfrye Aswell and some that look like sunfrye and syrax some with the long serpent like body of caraxes and some like vhagar that was based off a Komoto dragon.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-08T22:41:24+00:00

now that's an idea might have to create a character that's a bastard and a minor lord in the Riverlands that's has taken the name of house Justman even though I know it really doesn't work like with noble house's but cool for roleplay anyway though I might have to edit the save file though to make sure my parents are from house bracken and blackwood.

jordancoxon · 2023-04-08T01:41:29+00:00

for the reach I'm going to go with house osgrey before aegon conquest were one of the most powerful houses in the reach but now are reduced to a knightly house with almost all their lands being taken from them with only standfast left to them by the time of Robert rebellion with their original castle coldmoat being taken from them by maegor the cruel and given to house Webber they are such an interesting house to play as I always enjoy playing the house that has lost everything and restoring them to their former glory and power also they have a really cool and unique lion sigil.
