One thing the show has only established peripherally is that family did use to sell their kids off. MaoMao mentioned it with the "Buyers can't differentiate between regular people selling off their kids for it to be one less mouth to feed and kidnappers." This show only shows it in the background of the world-building, but that era was ruthless. Like, just keep in mind human rights weren't even a concept at that point. And even for the consorts/concubines being treated as property, that might have been one of the luckiest positions a person could find themselves in that era.
Since she got promoted to a handmaiden she's been allowed to write home to her dad, it comes up later that she's been writing home to her father and the brothel. It just hasn't shown that yet for whatever reason.
Fucking love how you guys are loving Jinshi X Maomao Its so much fun. Maomao is probably one of the best written female characters of revent years adapted into anime
They don't "talk" to their family, they communicate with their damily, thru letters and messages. The rear palace is a near close space entering and, more importantly, exiting is done only on special autorisation, or special role, like Jinshi.
The ladies in waiting for the consorts are from high noble families themselves... they are not captive there. They could leave, even marry, probably with the accord of their employers, the consorts. On the other hand all the working ladies in the palace are in indentured servitude if not outright slaves...
The thing with this show is... every little thing can matter. Tidbits they sprinkle in the early episodes come back again later on. So much fun to see things when they come full circle.
Actually in the LN it says Maomao tried tattooing freckles on but it didn't work very well and her dad disapproved of her attempt. Skin blemishes back then would looked down upon reminding people of the rashes that would break out from plagues.
"Why is a little girl on top?" It doesn't have anything to do with the "performance", it's a status thing. The four of them are the candidates into being the emperors wife so they have to come from the most noble and powerful family, that's it.
Y'all are knocking it out of the park in what anime you choose to react to! I got into Frieren first cuz of y'all and now I'm getting engrossed into this series! The ups and downs of emotions, pretty much soup opera the anime lol. Hopefully this series doesn't take a turn for the dark like Made in abyss T_T
Y’all got the remember in that era “human rights “ weren’t really a thing , women for the most part were seen as objects, being someone concubine were probably the best thing at that time
😍Dani🥰Today’s our last day. We return the rentals to the airport in the morning and catch our flight back home. My brothers left early as hell to make the drive back to Chicago. They had things we couldn’t get on a plane. I never been to Myrtle Beach. Murda and I always went to South Beach. We been going there since eighteen, it’s regular now. We agreed on a trip to Puerto Rico, Bianca was smiling from ear to ear. We have to make sure everything is clean before we leave, I don’t want them people charging my card for a cleaning fee. Soo is like a drill sergeant when it comes to cleaning up.😂I’ll finish watching later. On BD.
And just like that, anime already made a waaaaay more compelling commentary on the dangers that women faces than She-Hulk. I hope the people at Hollywood are taking notes.
Freckles are definitely not "ugly." I think on the right person, they can be very attractive. That said, it can be hard to tell on some darker-skinned Asian girls whether they are freckles, sun spots or blemishes. Also, consider the time period - "perfection" was the ideal. That said (and I posted this recently in another channel) - male predators don't necessarily care about how you look. It is more about power and control and simply finding someone weaker can bring out those predatory instincts. Always be careful out there!
In this case freckles were seen “ugly” because they are a sign of sun damage. Commoners and low class will be out in the sun to do labour work while higher class gets to stay in. It’s just to show the difference in class.
In the walking dead . You had cover yourself in Walker blood to his amongst The walkers . In Zom 100 it can human 💩 but why not dirt this actually ruins hole show anything to cover your small dish soap colony motor oil. Human 💩 is worst thing to hide in when hiding from creatures tracted to human small.

Oh I didn't know she was writing to them the whole time! That makes me feel better. -Sam
I agree Sam, the color scheme of this show is very pretty and vibrant.
It’s gorgeous! -Sam
@@TheReactPack Indeed, it's very pretty
Fucking love how you guys are loving Jinshi X Maomao
Its so much fun.
Maomao is probably one of the best written female characters of revent years adapted into anime
They're cuuuute, ahh the young love ~ and yes, she's so intuitive I love her - Morgan
12:30 "She looks related to Jinshi." Agreed........
Hold on to that thought
They don't "talk" to their family, they communicate with their damily, thru letters and messages.

100% agree. This show is one of the best I've seen in tying everything together and making almost every little detail come into play later.
Actually in the LN it says Maomao tried tattooing freckles on but it didn't work very well and her dad disapproved of her attempt. Skin blemishes back then would looked down upon reminding people of the rashes that would break out from plagues.
I think it also looks less extensive in the anime than it's described in the novels, where it's implied the freckles cover a lot more of her face.
@@craigpayne3265 And the LN talks about her failed attempts at tattooing freckles.

Ahhh!! Hopefully not! This series is quickly becoming one of my favs!! -Morgan
Soap opera, but make it anime is how I describe it as well lol
Both Frieren and Apothecary are so good 😁

"Why is the little girl in the top four" "I dont want to think about it" 💀💀

Tbh i think Mao mao might be ace. Like she gets why girls fond jinchi attractive but she doesn't feel him like that lol.
I feel like she might be aroace cause she doesn't have romantic feelings for anyone either
You guys don't get it, Maomao just like her men toxic is all.
Literally.
She is definitely not it's more like she doesn't like the personal of jinshi the 24 year old eunuch
@@user-nh5iz8xu7y but she's not interested in anyone romantically
