@staff our identities aren’t nsfw and we will not stand for them to be treated as such

the way being a taylor swift fan has kind of become metabolized as this inherent trait of womanhood is very bizarre

What can I say about the start of Shadow Love that hasn't already been said? It's like they went to a ladies' brunch when they were 5 mimosas deep and asked what they really wanted to see in their costume drama. It's like a fever dream of a female fantasy.

I want pecs and arms and I want them in every episode. This man should be so hot clothing randomly melts off him. This man better be half naked every episode.

I want a fight scene where the armor explodes off of him. Nah, I don't need it to make sense. I just want to see it.

And blood. None of this light smattering of blood. I need this guy soaked in blood. A bath. A literal blood bath.

Also put him in lots of baths. He should be wet regularly.

Tats. Sizzling sexy tats that move.

I need a dude that is both violent and in touch with his inner child.

He has to be totally obsessed with the FL. I want him to get high off her scent. He's like deranged if he can't be near her. Her blood totally turns him on. And heals him.

Sexy masks that are totally useless.

Enemies to lovers but as complicated as you can make it. I need this dude to be like 3 different people so he never knows what his backstory is.

And his eyes should not match. Nothing hotter than heterochromia. No, write that down. That shit is hot.

We! Rate! Eunuchs!

Sure, we all love eunuchs. But have you ever found yourself with an emptiness in your heart because you were unable to objectively measure your eunuchs? Well, now you can! Thanks to our handy Eunuch Measuring Scale, you can visualize your eunuchs and even see how they stack up against other eunuchs. Enjoy this handy demonstration of how it works!

The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty

Sleuth's eunuchs are absolutely unmatched in the complexity and fuckability departments, and also get full schemesy marks. Their style is sharp but not particularly varied, and while they do call on their beloved emperor, they don't particularly get a good solid holler going about it. Still, Sleuth's little meow meow eunuchs are high-quality, top-of-the-line eunuchs, practically the industry standard.

The Blood of Youth

Imagine -- eunuchs that not only have stunning outfits of their own, but that coordinate with their coworkers! Hats with architecture that defies logic! It's the style score that makes the Blood of Youth's eunuchs truly stand out. While they are admittedly less fully realized than their Sleuth counterparts, one must chalk this slight deficiency up to how difficult it is to get any screen time in a show with eight billion other characters. They're still full of schemesy goodness, though, leaving you always wanting more.

Nirvana in Fire

Nirvana in Fire presents a special eunuch challenge, as there's only really one eunuch to speak of: Gao Zhan, the emperor's loyal attendant. While his primary function in the show is to feign ignorance so he doesn't get into trouble, he can fretfully wail for his head of state like none other. It's tough to singlehandedly bear the responsibility of all eunuch represenation in a property, but Gao Zhan performs admirably in all areas an emperor could desire.

Story of Yanxi Palace

In contrast to Nirvana in Fire, Yanxi Palace has a substantial number of eunuchs, and every one of them is absolutely plotting something at all times. While the sex appeal of these identically dressed eunuchs is on average low, Yuan Chunwang brings the fuckable score up single-handedly by being the rare canonically fuckable eunuch. Note that the Yanxi Palace eunuchs lose a few points on a technicality: By the time they're around, the emperor is a huángshàng, not a bìxià, and it's much more difficult to get a good mournful cry going when you can't exploit the natural trajectory of two falling tones in a row.

Sleep better at night knowing you can now objectively measure your eunuchs along these six important axes! I know I will!

I think when you correctly identify a trauma that is the base of a woe of yours it should just disappear. It should be like "aaahh. you got me" and vanish and leave 100 dollars behind

"Based on data gleaned from the nearly 10 million military dependents it insures, the U.S. Department of Defense has repeatedly called the evidence supporting ABA “weak,” noting there is no research to determine whether the small number of participants who show improvement — 15% — do so because of treatment or simply because a child has matured. After a year of the therapy, the department reported to Congress in 2019, 76% of 16,000 participating autistic children saw no change, and 9% worsened."

I really did love that he has insecurity about all that transformation weirdness. Who wouldn't. It makes it all more human.

And her story about how her adopted mom was terrified of her because of her strength. She's not just showing him he's not a monster, but also that he's not alone (even if objectively the degrees of difference are very very not the same, it's the principle of it.) And that he's good and done good and she's grateful and he needs to hear that so.
