But oh my god it's just so sweet and cute to think about them. And the chaos they would bring if they were introduced to eachother in childhood.

Also here are some other versions just cuz my ass wasn't satisfied just with the previous ones

Like, no. It's not dry as the Sahara desert here I'M LITERALLY FLOATING THROUGH THE VOID OF THE EMPTY SPACE WITH NO STARS IN SIGHT ANYWHERE

Shisui: The revived Praying Mantis

Gaoshun: the dog guardian of the imperials

Quack doc: The hamster of herbs

Xiaolan: the gossiping desert fox

Lishu: the innocent red panda

Fun fact: I drew Suirei's clothes based on ln 15! ^^

My beloved

Okay, so before I start: like how mentioned in the hashtags, I did not write this story down. (Only bits and pieces about the Ka family, since I like to focus more on them then any another)

Yes! There's is no monarchy in my au, like I don't mean they aren't rich, most of them can live pretty comfortably, and they're also popular in their own town. However, that doesn't mean that the tension between families is also erased. Like for example: The Late emperor and Shishou were on good terms. But him and Yang are not. (Especially after Yang found about what Shishou's wife, Shenmei, did to Suirei and Shisui).

Now, about the baby swap. While the late empress regnant did force his son to adopt his child with Anshi. (Because she has this twisted mind set that only boys can rule, and the Late Emperor is still a pedo here, but now an underground one) She never had the urge to stop him, because he "died" in prison before anything could happen to him. She (Anshi) still hates him to the core. Now the Ka family originally lived in a different town than the rest and then they moved to the town that they're currently living in. (Again now, this is related to the Late Emperor)

(now just as a reminder, I DIDN'T WRITE THE STORY DOWN (or at least, not fully) so something most likely will change as we go on, and also Im trying to make some sense of the jumbled mess that's in my head, because originally, I just simply saw Jinshi, Suirei, Shisui and Lishu as siblings, and Ah-Dou as a single mother, but as you can see, it shifted quite a bit)

Fun fact about this au:

Suirei, Shisui and Lishu, were taken away from their parents when they were young (Suirei was 8, Shisui was 7, and Lishu was 5) and all of them got adopted by Ah-Dou and Yoh a year later after they got taken away. So those four above have a sibling relationship between each other here.

Jinshi: The qilin of the moon

Suirei: The phoenix from the Shadows

MaoMao: the poisonous feline

Ah-Dou: the nurturing horse

(also here's the template I used)

Oh, and yea, SHE is their mother

I honestly never really saw someone say what would The Apothecary Diaries characters would look like if they were gods and what their roles would be, and so I decided to make up some AU ( With only a little backstory really ) I haven't made designs, yet- But I thought out what would their roles would be (not every character has roles yet, due to me not having any idea what would they be. BUT, if you guys have any ideas, please let me know!)

Here are some characters:

La clan:

Mao Mao: Goddess of Poison and Medicine

Lakan: God of Strategy

Lahan: God of Mathematics

( I feel like these were pretty obvious)

Fengxian: (not yet decided)

The princesses of the Verdigris House:

Pairin: Goddess of Dance

Meimei: Goddess of Singing

Joka: Goddess of Instruments

(Yes, I choose these. Why? I didn't wanted to focus on the "sex" element of the characters)

(Also: I do think they would be good in each others roles, but they go with what they like the most!)

Concubines:

Ah-dou: Goddess of Fertility ( Let's ignore the fact she's not a concubine anymore )

Lihua: Goddess of Motherhood

Gyokuyou: Goddess of Birth

Lishu: Goddess of Childhood and Innocents

Ka clan:

The current Emperor: The (new) king of the gods

Jinshi: (not yet decided)

Shi clan :

Shisui and Suirei: Goddesses of Death, Resurrection and Disguises

The Shi kids: The helpers of the Sisters ( <-- not yet a final decision)

(Was definitely not biased cuz Suirei is my fav character qpsbdj)

The Ma clan:

Gaoshun: (Not yet decided)

Basen: (not yet decided)

Others:

Lingli and his little brothers: (not yet decided)

Xiolan: Goddess of Kindness ( or Gossip, idk) (also still, this is not a final decision )

(Now, I want you guys know that Im only watching the anime, and not reading the light novels, so if I left out characters, that's the reason. I didn't wanted to just give characters I barely heard of a random role, just to regret it later, realising that the role didn't fit them at all. And there are some characters that were in the anime butI didn't mention, the reason is, first I wanted to do the characters mentioned before.)

Also again: if someone has any ideas/suggestions for the characters (let it be in the roles or designs) please let me know! :)
