The Sasspothecary Diaries (Abridged): Snark, Poison, Repeat
EricS for GAOSHUN
He’s Jinshi’s handler, damage control unit, and emotional support cynic. While Jinshi sparkles and emotionally combusts, Gaoshun is in the background muttering, “I told you so,” and bribing someone to make the scandal go away.
"Huh. You noticed the symptoms. And didn’t immediately recommend a bloodletting or herbal exorcism. I like you. You might have a brain under all that peasant grit. Rare."
“We’re knee-deep in curses, concubines, and courtiers with a collective IQ of room temperature. And you’re asking me to solve it? I’m flattered. Also, no.”
"Well, at least someone’s leaving clues that don’t involve backstabbing or butt-kissing. Progress."
I absolutely love your take on Gaoshun... your voice fits him beautifully! It’s honestly spot on with how I envisioned him, and I really appreciate the nuance you brought to the role. It’s also a fun bonus that we’re practically the same age... haha! Since Gaoshun is a bit older than the main cast, your tone really suits him perfectly. I especially loved the deadpan delivery with just the right touch of humor... it made my inner gremlin smile and clap with delight. Great work!
Thank you so much. Just got done watching all the episodes of the new season and Gaoshun is one of my favorite parts :)
Gaoshun is honestly my favorite “dad” figure... just constantly reining in the chaos like the long-suffering parent of the palace. Gotta love someone who keeps the royal daycare in check!
