dehumanized characters who reject their dehumanization, who scream that they're a person, they're human, they're just like you!! vs dehumanized characters who embrace their inhuman status, who don't care if they're perceived as dangerous as long as they're not perceived as lesser, who say 'fuck humanity, I'm something different but I'm still worth the same as you'

I've always found it weird when people get mad about people en masse using words that are/were considered dog whistles, with the meaning changed out for a completely different thing. Like... You know the more people who misuse a dog whistle, the less effective it is for the groups that made it right? Because a dog whistle is subtle communication that is meant to go unnoticed? And if more people use it then it's harder for them to communicate with each other because they're unaware of who is using it in what way? Like yes queen! Give the neo nazis back their dog whistle! Make sure you give them back their ability to communicate with each other unnoticed! Let them congregate!

i need to fuck my badeline

maomao is my favorite "not like other girls" style protagonist bc for one shes a girls girl through and through. to the bone. and two she's just a weird little freak. absolute lunatic. they have the whole "omg she's actually beautiful and everyone falls for her when she's all made up" trope but the punchline is that she does not fucking want to look like that. she actively puts dirt on her face every day bc she does not want to be perceived as attractive (mostly out of fear of being used for sex work though at the same time she has the utmost respect for women who do sex work like she grew up in a brothel those are her sisters). she's Sherlock level smart and solves every mystery so fast but goes "well thats none of my business. anyway back to testing poisons on myself" she has the 2nd most powerful guy in the nation head over heels in love with her and is like "man this guy is weird around me what's his deal. I guess he's fine though because he gives me rare medicines and has no dick" fucking ICON i love her. also she once slapped someone so hard they fell on the floor. 10/10

“apothecary diaries is a romance” “apothecary diaries is a court drama” wrong. jinshi’s apothecary diaries is a first love romance and maomao’s is a workplace drama. her biggest problem is being fired via execution and his is falling behind on work worrying she’s taking the wrong man home

steve and hero's s2 dynamic is really funny bc hero talks about steve all the time and probably has a picture of him on his wall that he throws darts at. meanwhile steve found out this guy exists like 2 days ago and is only killing him bc withy was a bitch about it

I love how blunt and socially awkward steve is. like its not obvious when he's talking with most of the main cast bc they're all worse, but when he has to interact with a normal person its always like "well hello there I am a Normal Person *accidentally says something insulting* haha okay help me with [thing] now please. I am very Normal. why are you mad at me."
