#perfect no notes

Danny and M'gann being rivals at a trivia competition hosted by NASA and Danny winning because every question has to do with a place he visited during a mission from Clockwork. M'gann confronts him and they get into a fight because the prize was a book about the history of the martian constellations written in the martian language donated by J'onn and she wanted it. Everything escalates from there.

I could swear I posted this answer, sorry

Oh, ho, ho, this is such a fun scenario. I imagine book ending up donated was case of major miscommunication between J'onn and M'gann, because I don't think he'd give it away if she let him know and I don't really see him not asking about that.

Anyway, M'gann thought that winning it back would be a child's play, I mean, her interest in space was rather focused on Earth, and it doesn't really count as space when she's on Earth but it was Martian book, she is Martian, questions would probably be about Mars.

And she'd get it too, she was better than most of the participants, but then comes this one guy and steals it from in front of her nose.

And look, she usually isn't too prone to conflict. But the guy was mocking her when he said she did well and it was an honor to compete with her, and when he offered to reprint it for her.

Danny, on his end, was absolutely smug little shit at the start there, he's not winning often so he can and will gloat when he does. But when he realized how intense the girl was about that book, his offer of printing was entirely sincere. And she blew up on him just like that?!

And maybe at some point during the argument he throws something like "Well, it's not my fault you have to get good. If you win this other thing at the upcoming competition we can do an exchange". By that time he'd probably be able to make his own copy he was already planing to do because figuring out Martian script would require taking it to Ghost Zone and he wouldn't want to contaminate original.

And maybe this gets M'gann to really sit down and study space as a whole, and maybe it's fun and maybe she doesn't win at the next competition, but she gets Danny to give her another chance and they just keep and keep going...

And maybe one day Danny doesn't show up, and M'gann realizes she actually started to enjoy his company, at some point. And then he doesn't show up to next competition either...

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!

alex: WHAT UP EVERYONE

carlos: ohhh-oo-ey-hola~

They work together so well after it being so awkward between them and yet they're so seamless rn that they cinch the win no problem and maybe Eddie's on the sidelines for the last leg cheering Buck on and Buck is just so amazing and talented and even if they haven't really been talking recently Buck is still his partner and he's proved that twice over during these games and after Buck clearly wins the whole thing he just runs to Buck and kisses him right there in front of everyone despite originally planning for just a victory hug and a *pat pat* and Buck just melts into it because yes that feels so amazing and so right why haven't they been doing this before not a single person present there blinks at them victory kissing btw

And maybe after they break apart Eddie can't find it in himself to regret the kiss and Buck looks a little scared now that reality crashed back down on him so he just cups Buck's cheeks and says "you can have my back any day" and Buck cries a little then because he sees what Eddie is trying to say and he loves him and misses his best friend and hated not talking to him so Buck just replies "and you can have mine" and they kiss again until they get called up to recieve their prize yippee!!!
