@apc@starside.social However, the biggest "bowing" effect I can think of, with all the various stations attached, comes most-levelled for me out of the multiple contexts conveyed in Apothecary Diaries. Stations and "subservience" and safety, from red light district to imperial courts. Procedural to instinctual to special-circumstance pleading. It is stitched into the unfortunate fabric of this society. I'll keep it low to prevent me from just filling up 20 posts with Maomao pics, which I could totally do, and so should everyone. Nevertheless, there is so goddamn much bowing, all over the place.
