CHAPTER 7: Couple's Discount

...

Satoru is beyond ecstatic, his vision sticky and gooey at the insane amount of silks and wools carefully hung and displayed. There's a catalog of clothes, an array of expensive clothes. Top-tier luxury brands, ones you'd catch celebrities sporting like a pair of pajamas at the local airport. Ones that he can caress between the delicate friction of his fingers as a warm smile spreads across his face like butter on toast. Oh, how lucky he is. 

To reunite with his long-lost friend, whom he spent years tracking down, whom he was able to convince into allowing this moment to blossom into reality. He feels like a kid in a candy store, ogling at each piece of fabric, at each suit jacket and pant. And how tempting the sight is, how it tempts him to envelope himself in pure greed like a creature of sin. 

The assortment of colors, the breathtaking pigments, the unique textures of each cloth...

The excitement is so wonderful, so captivating that he doesn't even begin to notice the woman greeting him at the door. He takes off like a rocket ship, roaming around the men's section. A maze that he hasn't ventured in, yet one that feels familiar and natural to navigate through pure instinct. 

This must be heaven. 

"I think he, uh... I'm so sorry if he causes trouble." You half-groan, head threatening to hang low at Gojo's energetic aura. "Thank you."

The woman nods, a typical response that you'd expect from someone working customer service. You've been in that position before, squeezing out an exhausted smile at something you had no idea how to respond to. Funny enough, your cheeks sting from the muscle memory. 

You think to apologize once more, but you refrain, biting your tongue as you dejectedly follow after Gojo. He buries his head in a ring of hung-up clothes, swiping through each shirt like a potential match on Tinder. 

"Oh? Do you frequent here often?" 

You turn back, confusion overcoming your face. 

"No, I've never been, actually." You slowly shake your head, examining the woman for a moment. "Why?"

That low bun of hers wrapped in a red scarf, and that sleek, white uniform doesn't ring a bell. Does she know you?   

"Oh, sorry, it's just that your jacket... I couldn't help but notice that it is from our brand." 

"Oh," You smile, the interaction as awkward as awkward gets. "That's weird, I never noticed." 

You walk away with an understanding nod, fumbling with your lips as you fidget with the black jacket lying in the crook of your arm. Now that you think about it, it does feel like silk, expensive silk at that. 

Maybe your memories have faded over the years. It's possible that you snagged this from another one of those annual holiday sales, sort of a bad habit you've accumulated. You always browsed for coats and blazers when no one was around to watch, hunching over that compact cubicle as you frantically refreshed your search engine. Occasionally, when someone would walk past or start conversation, you almost let out a guilty flinch out of fear for getting caught. Almost. 

Nonetheless, the suggestion doesn't strike you. There's not a single instance where you, the loyal slave to some measly corporation, could justify the selfish purchase of a fancy coat. A coat was a coat, no matter the price. It would have torn up in that monster of a washing machine you own either. Not to mention the void and guilt that would stem from such an unnecessary purchase.

"Is that my jacket?" Weird. You don't expect it, but you recall the events from this morning. The skeptical look on his rather punchable face. 

Your fingers trace over the sewn-in label, mumbling the brand to yourself. Even that leaves a pretentious, bitter taste on your tongue.

Nope, it doesn't ring a bell. 

You suppose it's French, and to be honest, you don't have an opinion on the French. There are far more significant matters, at least in your opinion, than some species of European folk. Why would you spend your precious paycheck on such a useless thing?

Everything tells you, everything desperately grasps you by the shoulders and shakes you to your senses. And then you finally uncover the answer as to whether or not you "frequented" such a snobby, stuck-up place. 

"I must be remembering things wrong.." Yeah, remembering things wrong, my ass, you think. 

He lied. Oh dear, you really tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.

And that certain white-haired culprit is currently nowhere to be seen. Quite frankly, you have no idea where you are either. You've lost yourself in the garden of consumerism, swarmed by the amount of clothes and designer bags laying in front of you. A landfill for the rich, you call it. 

But it's peaceful for a bit as it is overwhelming. You're oddly calm when you take in the privilege of Gojo's absence, as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. A heavy one at that. 

Five years was, and is too short, much too measly of a distance. If you had it your way, if the Earth rotated to the drumming of your feet, then you would have never known the words "Gojo Satoru". His face would have been an imaginative blur, those eyes nothing but a mere gaze, and those memories would become one of the infinite "what-ifs" of this universe.

And if you ran into him on a fateful spring day? 

You would have abandoned destiny a long time ago, parted ways like ex-lovers. The occurrence would leave you as you were.

Still, steady, and normal. 

These three values would have stuck with you, through thick and thin. But which one was it? You don't know what to call this incident. Was this the thick? Or was this the thin?

You wonder, mull over it for a bit before you're chained back into the prison of his presence. It's a game of push and pull.

This punishment of a game. 

"Yo! Over here, Y/N." You look up from the leather jacket folded on the display shelf below you, eyes hooked onto that raised hand of his. 

You seem to be on the receiving end, on both sides of that hellish spectrum. 

"Okay." You make your way over to "here", that sigh of yours halted. You have something to ask him anyways, something about that jacket of his. 

His hand is still held up high in the air while the rest of his body entangled in a rack of clothes. Stupid is as stupid does. 

His and Hers, You regrettably read and fully understand the sign hanging overhead from the ceiling, along with the bolded words: NEW Spring Collection.

"Did you find something?" You only ask as a precaution, monitoring his spending habits. An awful habit that solely relied on you and you only for support. 

That hand of his flails around before sinking down into the sea of clothes before him. 

"You're here?" His hands scour and fish into the abyss, voice muffled into the ridiculous amount of suits and dresses stuffed in his face. "I'm surprised-"

A groan follows, the sound of plastic material ringing against his skull. A sound that you would have ignored because it seamlessly blended into the rapid snare of the radio-pop tune playing on the store's speakers.  You could have paid it zero mind if not for the sheer amount of second-hand embarrassment that ensued from your witness of the scene. 

"Careful there," You sneer, watching as his back contorts like a gymnast. "The higher-ups wouldn't want you to come back a complete moron."

Satoru chuckles, scrambling once more before putting an end to his short-lived visit to Narnia. 

"I'm thankful for the concern." There's an array of clothes folded over his arm, and oh, does the sight worry. "Please continue to take great care of me, Y/N."

You give him a strange look, your lips curling in disgust. By no means were you concerned about him, worried about this bafoon of a man. 

"You're dumb." It's a conclusion you should have come to earlier, really.

"Remind me," Satoru's gaze trails off into the air before landing on you. "Who was the one that lost to me last night?" 

You're stumped, mouth opening before it shuts again. That unlucky "who" was you, the loser.

Gojo takes your defeat as an opening, a chance. 

"Wanna try this on?" A dress is shoved into your face, along with that cheeky smile of his that peeks behind the cloth. 

Your attention darts from Gojo to the pink, girlish dress. 

The long-sleeves are puffed just by the slightest bit, and the material a bit translucent until you notice that there (thankfully) is a white cloth underneath to keep yourself covered. Your eyesight was just playing tricks on you. Okay, a bit of decency, you appreciate it. However, you think the skirt is just a little too short, but the sweetheart neckline does look kind of gorgeous, you'll admit. 

"Whaddya think?" He reveals more of that hidden smile of his behind the blinding cloth, along with his now enlarged starry eyes. You don't take that as a good sign, it's more of warning. "Hm?"

Emotionally, you don't exactly feel inclined to wear it, nor does the idea entice you. Logically, you can't and don't want to afford a dress you could easily get for way cheaper on the internet. Besides, you'd rather focus on controlling the inevitable loss of your sweet, hard-earned cash if possible. And with the sleek look of the fabric, along with the carefully stitched in details - the item is nothing but a pure fantasy. 

You intend to keep it that way. 

"No-"

Again. 

Again, again, and again! Satoru groans out of pure annoyance. You're using that word again. That boring word, the word which cages him in like a helpless bird, the word which is so draining, so terribly cruel, absolutely inhumane. 

No. 

How he resents the very existence, the very creation of that word. That word which rolls of your tongue without an ounce of hesitation. 

"No?" Satoru interrupts, raising a brow before yanking off his glasses. 

"Um.." 

When you look into those eyes laced with the pure malice of the devil, your flesh tenses. Your muscles contract, a reaction not one of muscle memory, but one of cold-blooded fear. 

"I, um..." Think, think, think! You can't seem to put two and two together no matter how much your brain tells you to. 

When his eyes release a frosty residue into the air, when you watch the air melt against him, you lose your resolve. Stripped of it, left with the stubbornness lying underneath.  

Telling Gojo Satoru "yes" - you'd rather lie cold in your grave. 

"Is it still a no?" 

No doubt about it, Satoru notices. Your stubbornness surprisingly (as if he hasn't calculated this reaction) clashes with his want. 

Without a single word, you begrudgingly snatch the dress out of his loose grasp, eyes searching around for the dressing room as you turn on your heel, slumping with each step like a deflated skydancer. 

"To your left." Satoru directs, burying the self-conceited excitement down his throat. "You're welcome."

Patience is a virtue, he repeats to himself, over and over as you disappear behind the racks of clothes in front of him. 

...

You don't want to. 

Oh, you really can't stand the look of it because the feeling this dress evokes in you is criminal. The definition of bi-polar, heck, even multi-polar as the fabric drapes around you.

A part of you, the mature side of you, loathes the sight. You feel girlish, frail, and overly-feminine, like a total joke of a woman. You gaze upon the mirror and shy from it, covering your eyes before you peek through your fingers out of pure embarrassment. 

You were well-into your twenties at this point, a young age, but still... weren't you a little too old for this? You can't help but feel that way. With those bags underneath your eyes you look like a princess fresh out of a zombie apocalypse, not some cute, innocent-looking chick. Maybe you look a little fucked-up, honestly. Completely out of place. 

Oh, whatever. You lightly squeeze and pick at the skirt, tracing the pleated lines. 

There's another part of you as well, and you suppose it's your immature side. The side that pokes through your doubts like a roses' thorn. 

It's pretty. You feel kind of special, like an actual princess or some kind of tacky, knock-off Barbie doll. Fluffing your hair, a pit forms in the bottom-left of your stomach, plague pooling up inside of you. 

Envy, desire, selfishness begin to settle in. And to think that you strayed, parted ways with these three "friends" years ago. Only now do they make their grand reappearance. 

So this is what it's like to be normal, isn't it? You ask yourself, only to receive no answer. Surely, this is what it's like to have the world at your fingertips, to have all your wants and desires served to you in silver platter, right? 

You should be jumping up and down right now, squealing like a damn schoolgirl at the idea that you were living out a childhood fantasy of yours.

"It's nice," You mumble, almost as if you're trying to convince yourself to agree. The words don't stick as well as you hoped. 

You're jealous, almost angry you've never got to experience something so trivial, so materialistic. Jujutsu training took up more than half of your youth and those high-school memories you so deeply craved only remained a simple dream. A selfish goal you could never achieve no matter which plan or path you took to get there. The consequences of your choices would always haunt you, and you suppose this is one of those instances when you see the faintest image of a little girl. A little girl with a pair of eyes all too similar, with a nose much like yours, with lips of the same nature. 

You want to scream when your chest compresses against itself, eyes stinging and reddening. 

How tormenting, you would have never imagined your reflection to be one of a burden as your fingers still against the fabric of that dress, lips rolling over each other as a ship sinks to the very bottom of your stomach's oceans. 

You remember. You remember it all too well, those years in elementary school. One question stuck with you in particular. 

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

To first-grade you, that was a simple, easy question. So you churned out an answer with very little thought. 

"I want to be happy! Like... forever?"

Hah. Simple. 

You think, no, you thought that such a simple, inoffensive wish would allow your life to show you a bit of grace, a bit of fulfillment. You were wrong, damn it, you were so wrong that you let out a choked, cowardly sniffle. The little you wouldn't even want to see you face, she'd rather die than accept her reality-

"Yoo-hoo. It's been ten minutes, you done yet?" 

You flinch at his voice, blinking profusely as you touch up your watering eyes. Being sad was one thing, but you were not going to cry around Gojo Satoru. Never. 

"Hello-"

You swing the door open, feeling your eyelashes water before you speak. The sound of your voice is stupid as all can be, but what could you do? You were just crying to yourself like the main character in some cheaply-produced Disney movie. 

"Hi." You frown, crossing your arms as you feel the wind blow against your bare legs. You don't even want to look at him right now. Why? He's not scary. 

It's a silence so thick that follows, so thick that you can't even take in proper breaths from the air that lies between the two of you. 

Gojo Satoru stares, and you hate it. You hate that equally thick stare lying behind those glasses of his, seriously. You want to hide away, crawl into a hole when he hums like that, sucking in his lips as he examines you like a zoo animal. You're going ballistic and all you can do is stand there with your arms crossed as a defense. It's insulting because you're aware of how ridiculous the thing looks on you. Insulting because he makes it so obvious that you look like a little girl playing dress-up.

"What?" You say, tone flat. "Why are you looking at me like that?"  

Oops. He swallows, guilty as charged when he stiffly rubs his neck. Satoru feels like a perv, the memories of that night flooding into the dam of his mind.

No, you're a friend.

Just a friend.

Only a beloved childhood friend of his, so there's no reason that these troublesome fireworks should be going off, bouncing off the barriers of his skin. 

"Like what?" He looks away, hands stuffed in his pocket as he occupies his mind with the displays surrounding him. "I wasn't doing a single thing except looking at the dress." 

Your lips tremble, and you feel dumb. Super dumb. Maybe it's those leftover feelings from earlier that begin to explode out of you, little by little. You can't seem to stop it, and it's killing you as your armor cracks. 

"Is it that bad?" Your voice cracks, and he begins to panic as if he wasn't a nervous wreck before. "Be honest." 

"What? Of course it isn't-"

"Stop lying." You let out, eyes burning up into ashes as they redden like cherries. "I mean it."

"Why would I lie? You- you look pretty." Damn it. He's let the cat out of the bag, fingers covering his lips before he decides to just accept his terrible fate. 

No, that wasn't- that wasn't what you wanted to hear. You toy with the flesh in your mouth, the skin of your forehead scrunching and bunching up. 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... You shouldn't be mad at him, he was just looking at the dress, he wasn't judging you, you just made him call you pretty. Wait, you're pretty? 

You ignore that, your skin crawls at the compliment. You hate it, you hate him, everything about him. 

Your eyes are - Ugh. What are you doing? 

"Well, it was just because... because.." You stammer, fiddling with the syllables of your words as the image of that particular black jacket appears in your mind.

"Because?" Satoru questions, taking in a deep breath. He feels strange when your eyes swell up like that, so strange that he can't put it into words even if he tried. 

"Are you crying?" He doesn't know if he should ask, and he's especially scared of sounding like a total asshole. What if the tears just poured out when he asked? But, it felt too wrong, so wrong to just watch you fume up like this without adressing the elephant in the room-- the warm beads flooding the crevices of your eyes. 

"You lied." You use the knuckles of your fingers to pat at the corners of your eyes, breathing in a shaky breath as you do, chest slowly rising. "Why did you-"

Okay, he could understand you were beyond frustrated, but falsely accusing him of lying. Oh, he couldn't stand it, even if it was you pointing fingers at him. Even if it was his dear, beloved friend. 

"When did I-"

"Hello, I just couldn't help but notice that dress on you, ma'am. It looks wonderful."

You turn around, looking like a deer in headlights at the saleswoman who probably watched that whole shit-show with front-row seats. Gojo, on the other hand, takes in a sharp breath, rubbing his cheek before acknowledging the fact that they were in public, fighting in public, like a-

"Oh? Are you two a couple? We actually have a His and Her deal going on until the end of this month. Would you be interested?" It's the same woman he accidentally ignored, the same woman who unknowingly directed you to Gojo's lie. She's back, this time to upsell you on products you really don't need and can't afford. You thought you had formed some kind of alliance, but alas, she was just doing her job. Unfortunately, you were her target. 

Now this, this was the reason for his visit in the first place. There was no way he was going to leave without purchasing color-coordinated outfits, the same ones he's been anticipating the release of since the beginning of winter. Usually, he'd be the type to despise such a release, one that didn't serve him any purpose, but because of you, and solely because of you he was...

"Yes. We're interested-"

"No-" You protest, the tears drying up against the dry of your eyes. 

"We are interested." He grits his teeth at you, pulling you in closer to his side, saving face with a smile as his arm wraps around your uneven shoulders. "There's a matching suit for this dress, right? I saw it in the catalog." 

"I-" You try to refuse, but they've already beat you to it. What was this? Your unlucky day? 

You've been having a lot of those recently. And this day is no different when his arm sticks you to him like glue, feeling the outline of his body against your hip. You shudder, skin crawling once more at the mutual warmth. His fingers press against the fabric of your shoulder, giving you a light squeeze and pat. You might as well bark and get on all fours like his dog at this point, that was how you felt. Like Gojo Satoru's pet, always at his service. 

The woman gives him an eager nod, "I'll get the sets out for you two. Please give me a moment." 

Your eyes shoot up at him, and it's an angry look, no doubt. First, your vision traces his fingers that hold you, then at the knowing smile on his face. He knows you hate it, and he's just going to continue this torture of his until he's satisfied. You didn't even have to go through another cycle of defiance only to cower at his Six Eyes. Like a dog, you've been trained into obedience, without a single treat in your bowl or stomach. 

In other words, you're at a loss. Advantage-wise, speech-wise, physically-speaking, emotionally-speaking... all of it.

Even though you eye him with such venom when that neutral expression looks back down at you, those beads still linger. You don't know what to make of your own conflict anymore, having a difficult time as the ground fills your line of vision. 

"Hey, why did you tell her that?" You whisper-hiss, as if those words were meant to be kept a hidden secret. "Now she thinks we're a couple..."

There they are, Satoru takes notes of those tides as his arm slips from your shoulders. They're clashing, the gritty sand soaking those waves dry. 

"Are you okay?" Did he have the right to ask such a question? To show an ounce of his care? Was he allowed to?

"It was for the discount." Is what comes out instead as he widens the small gap between the both of you. Ironically, this much more appropriate response leaves him questioning his own intentions. "Why? Does it bother you?" 

No, it shouldn't bother you. It doesn't. 

"You ass..." You mutter, hoping that somehow a miracle occurs. One so miraculous that his memories of your vulnerability erase.

However, such miracles never seem to hit you - they miss by a large shot.

"I hate you."

Or maybe they do as Gojo just nods. At least this once as you break contact with him, a comfortable silence settling in. 

"The feeling's mutual, don't worry." 

Satoru doesn't want to test the validity his words.

"You lied." 

That isn't so far off from the truth. 

...

"How is it?"

Your reflection is disappointing. The colors that swallow you are lackluster, they trap you. 

"I don't like it." What outfit was this again? You lost track. 

"Oh, that's too bad. Does it fit?" Satoru crosses his legs, resting in a fancy, maroon velvet armchair. 

"...Yes." You answer, rubbing your arm. You're losing. 

"What was that?" He tips his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Sorry, I just can't hear you." 

As if. 

"It fits." You speak up, tone numb as you tell him what he wants to hear. 

"Good." 

This, unfortunately, has been the norm of your conversations for the past two hours. Gojo would pick out an outfit from the spring catalog, force  ask you to try it on, then he'd ask for your optimistic opinions which he held zero regard for whatsoever before buying or trashing it. 

"Excuse me," He holds up a hand before pointing at you. You blink at this, dread filling you whole. "She'll take this one as well." 

You did not say that, but you must be remembering things wrong. 

The saleswoman nods. "Of course, sir."

She moves to pack up a fresh set, but quickly presses onto her own breaks when he opens his mouth to command speak once more. Poor thing, you can't help but feel your own foot ache at the amount of times she's had to deal with this. 

"Also, I want all the accessories."

"A-all?" She raises both eyebrows, masking her shock with a boxy smile. "Are you-"

"I'm sure." Satoru nods, finally looking at the woman. 

"Yes, sir. I'll get started on that right away." She scurries off with such urgency that you'd think she was held at gunpoint. 

Your lips flubber as you exhale, taking in your reflection. Today has weirdly been all about you, in the worst way imaginable. You can't seem to catch a break with the absurd amount of haughty-designer outfits thrown onto you. This one in particular was your least favorite. 

A blue shirt, reminiscent of those soul-sucking Six Eyes, short-sleeved with a slight puff in the shoulders, adorned with buttons of a similar shade. Though it is soft to the touch, it's more than unbelievable to you that this costs around three-hundred yen. The white lace skirt draped all the way down your ankles is no cheaper either, but a couple hundred yen was like child's play for the rich. Another regular day, nothing new. 

Furthermore, Gojo hasn't tried on a single thing. He just assumes he'll like his side of the outfit based on yours, a total gamble of your money.

"Is there anything else...?" You decide to follow routine, but of course, it doesn't work when you finally accept your fate. 

"Nah, you can go change now." He rolls his shoulders back before getting back on his feet, the chair as empty as he found it. "I'll be waiting outside, yeah?"

You carefully nod, studying his sudden change in demeanor as he whistles to himself, that stern expression wiped off the surface of his face. Now that was bipolar. 

"Okay." You'd hate to send him into another frenzy of playing dress-up with a doll that was more than unwilling because you would also like to move on from whatever this was. 

One piece after another, as if you're being timed, you strip down your clothes only to re-dress yourself in your original (work) clothes. Oh, how you long for that nine-to-five lifestyle, how you miss being stuck in that stiff office chair. Today taught you that being rich and ambitious was not for the weak, that you, the weak, suited the likes of a corporate, forty-hour work week. Not this pretend fantasy, this mere illusion. 

Right now, you'd do anything to escape this hell-hole of a place and that demon of man. 

"Oh," Your hands reach for your jacket- sorry, his jacket.

"You lied."

You forgot to prove your point, the evident truth that Gojo Satoru was a liar.

...

You can't believe it. Not a single bit. 

"For the last time, and I say this with all due respect, but your items have already been paid for, ma'am." The bald man at the counter sighs, holding a receipt before you. 

You cautiously scan the very long paper, fingers grabbing it's very end as your eyes widen at the total.   

"But... but-"

You profusely rub your eyes, blinking over and over. You might as well go into cardiac arrest at the seven bolded digits, grasping the thin receipt between your shaky fingers. 

"Correct," His voice cuts through your multiple stammers.  "You didn't pay, your boyfriend did, ma'am."

B-boyfriend? Gojo Satoru? That man? 

"He didn't, and he's not my-" You don't even get the chance to make your case clear. 

"The signature is at the very bottom." 

You stuff your face into the very butt of the paper, eyes flickering between the signature line and the uncanny smiley face drawn on top it. What an eyesore.

How in the world did he pay? You chew onto the flakes of your lips, releasing a deep breath from the very depths of your lungs. You were under the impression that Gojo came here with absolutely nothing but himself. And the flowers. You almost forgot those flowers, and you accidentally remember how ugly and spacious they look sitting on the counter of your kitchen island. 

"Ah, I... I see now, sorry." You let out an involuntary laugh, shoving the receipt down your pocket. "I'm sorry for taking up your time, let me just-" 

You grunt, looping one bag onto your arm after another, the worker behind the counter blankly staring as you visibly struggle. Jeez. Were you the one working customer service or was he? 

"Have- Have a nice rest of your day." Somehow you manage to carry all six bags, three on your left and three on your right as you head towards salvation. Which was better known as the exit of this damn place. 

"You too, ma'am."

Thanks, you mouth to yourself. 

You have a feeling the rest of your day will be anything but nice.

Best Underrated Anime Group H Round 2: #H5 vs #H8

#H5: Middle school soft tennis club deals with trauma

#H8: Zombies make really good music

Details and poll under the cut!

#H5: Stars Align (Hoshiai no Sora)

Summary:

Constantly outperformed by the girls' club, the boys' soft tennis club faces disbandment due to their poor skills and lack of positive results in matches. In desperate need of members, Toma Shinjou is looking to recruit capable players, but he fails to scout anyone. Enter Maki Katsuragi, a new transfer student who demonstrates great reflexes when he catches a stray cat in his classroom, instantly capturing Toma's attention. With his interest piqued, Toma ambitiously asks Maki to join the boys' team but is quickly rejected, as Maki doesn't wish to join any clubs. Toma refuses to back down and ends up persuading Maki—only under the condition that Toma will pay him for his participation and cover other club expenses.

As Maki joins the team, his incredible form and quick learning allow him to immediately outshine the rest of the team. Although this gives rise to conflict among the boys, Maki challenges and pushes his fellow team members to not only keep up with his seemingly natural talent, but also drive them to devote themselves to the game they once neglected.

Propaganda 1:

Covers a wide variety of issues and gets into the nitty-gritty of the often under-prosecuted instances of child abuse in Japanese society. Multiple LGBT characters, subversions of gender roles, a simple but appealing art style, and some really talented seiyuu to top it all off.

Propaganda 2:

This series is so amazing even though it was cut halfway through (and the trigger warnings, mainly in regard to the environments many of the characters live in) make it difficult to suggest at times. It’s half a sports anime and half a drama, switching between the sports sections and explorations of the lives of the characters involved, the latter of which is the part I really adore. The story discusses the heavily discussed topic of abuse pretty well and also has a good handle on discussions about things like gender (specifically in regard to a canon non-binary character, though there is also a minor character who is a trans man who is also discussed) that I haven’t seen too many other series address, or at least not to the effectiveness of this story. The characters also just have so much charm and compliment each other well, and I love watching them get closer and interact. They’re buddies, and I adore the boys soft tennis team plus Yuu and Mitsue (+ Arashi I guess. He’s from a different school’s team and directly opposed the team, but he very quickly becomes their friend afterwards), as well as all of their dynamics. It’s not a watch for when you’re looking strictly to have a fun time or looking for a complete story, but it’s an amazing story regardless. Also, I love the opening and ending songs so much. I wish this series got its season two so much because it’s so good, I don’t think I did it justice at all.

Trigger Warnings:

Child abuse: Most of the cast is from an abusive household, including mcs.

Domestic abuse: Off-screen/implied, parent of a main character.

Gender/sexuality discrimination: From a parent to a non-binary character + from bullies to a gay character.

Emotional abuse: Some major characters have emotionally abuse parents, this is shown on-screen.

Minor injuries: Blisters, bruises, one scene with plenty of blood but clarified to just be a minor head wound afterwards. etc.

#H8: Zombieland Saga

Summary:

Sakura Minamoto dreams of becoming an idol. Unfortunately, reality hits her like a truck, and she dies in a sudden traffic accident. Ten years later, she wakes up in Saga Prefecture, only to find herself a zombie with no memory of her past. While still coming to terms with her demise, she meets a man named Koutarou Tatsumi, who explains that he has resurrected her and six other zombie girls from different eras for the purpose of economically revitalizing Saga by means of an idol group. Assuming the role of an abrasive manager, Koutarou begins scheduling events; the girls go along with it, eventually deciding to name their idol group Franchouchou. An absurdly comedic take on the idol genre, Zombieland Saga tells the story of Franchouchou's heartwarming struggle to save Saga Prefecture while hiding their zombie identities and rediscovering their past lives.

Propaganda:

ITS SO GOOD OHMYGOD. First of all, the music? Amazing. The 3D animation they use for the dancing isn’t the best, but the songs are all bangers. The story is also amazing—it’s just the right blend of silly and serious to really get you to love and care about the characters. And it WILL make you cry. It’s a really cool take on zombies and really uses the full potential of its premise really well. Its dub is also actually good. The acting is great, and the jokes are translated perfectly.

Trigger Warnings: Animal Cruelty or Death, Child Abuse, Gender Identity/Sexuality Discrimination, Graphic Depictions of Cruelty/Violence/Gore

"these two monarchs tweaked some aspects of the coronation process of Elizabeth Woodville and Anne Boleyn to make them more respected in their role as consort" re H8 and E4. That's so interesting and I didn't know that at all! What did they do/change?

I haven't looked at it in too much detail (I have read more about Elizabeth Woodville's coronation), but what comes to mind is the use of certain items of regalia that were usually assigned to the king's coronation — St Edward's sceptre and crown. Nicola Tallis argued that 'they served as a useful tool to distract the populace’s attention from Elizabeth and Anne’s low-born origins'.

While the king’s sceptre was made of gold, the Liber Regalis, which set out the protocol for the crowning of a king and his consort, stated that a queen’s sceptre should be made of gilt. However, Elizabeth Wydeville is known to have used St Edward’s staff, which was the same as that used by kings. It is also likely that St Edward’s was the same sceptre as that used by Elizabeth of York, described as ‘the scepter of gold in her right hand’, and the one referred to in similar terms that was used by Anne Boleyn. That Elizabeth Wydeville and Anne Boleyn were given permission to use this item is momentous and serves to underline the crucial role jewels played in assisting with the reinforcement of a queen’s status, necessary in both of these instances.

However, I can't help but wonder: if Elizabeth Woodville and Anne Boleyn were assigned those items because they needed to inspire respect in their subjects given their lower birth status, what was the need for Elizabeth of York to have also used the king's sceptre during her own coronation? Derek Neal also commented on those changes:

Elizabeth Woodville apparently "helde in the right hande pe Septor of Saint Edward & in the lefte hande the septor of pe Reaume". None of the ordines make any mention of two sceptres. Still more irregularly, Elizabeth Woodville is said to have had these symbols in hand when she entered the sanctuary, rather than being given them by the consecrator [...] The simplest explanation is that one of these two "sceptres" was actually the rod, which the queen receives in her left hand when she is crowned together with the king, and which is never mentioned in the ordo for the queen alone. But a "septor of pe Reaume" does not sound much like the ivory rod used, for example, in the coronation of Richard III and Anne Neville. Nor is the queen's sceptre, which in a double coronation was quite different from the king's, anywhere else called the sceptre of St. Edward, whose very name evokes ancient imagery of English sovereignty [...] The same section of Elizabeth of York's coronation is also somewhat unclear. The younger queen received both rod and sceptre, though with what formula we do not know;

In whose interest would it have been to associate Elizabeth Woodville with recognizable symbols of kingly authority? And who would have made such a decision? It is tempting to see it as a feature of the lavish display of Elizabeth's coronation, as a deliberate effort of Edward IV to remove lingering associations of her low birth and enthrone her as a fit consort - thus validating his own choice. Those who actually viewed the coronation service, and who would have been most aware of its symbolism, would have been those most worth impressing. Interpreting the changes for Elizabeth of York is more complicated.

In my opinion, Elizabeth of York's coronation does complicate the view that the changes in Elizabeth Woodville's and Anne Boleyn's were deliberate ploys 'to distract the populace’s attention from Elizabeth and Anne’s low-born origins' as it has been argued not only by Tallis but also by other authors. A contemporary noted that St Edward's crown (associated with English kings) was used during Anne Boleyn's coronation, but there simply is no evidence of the kind of crown that was used in the solo coronation of other queens — we know Queen Edith's crown was used in a double coronation as dictated by the Liber Regalis, but what about a solo coronation?

As Nicola Tallis said herself, it might simply be that 'queens were permitted to use the same regalia as kings when it was not in use, placing them on a level with their husbands.' Perhaps the kind of comments made by Elizabeth's and Anne's contemporaries highlighting St Edward's items say more about their own acceptance of those queens, than about changes made in the solo coronation of English queen consorts? I don't know, but it's worth considering.

Of course, there is more about the coronation of those queens than just the items used during the ritual. Elizabeth Woodville didn't simply have a coronation, she also had a presentation ceremony at Reading Abbey before her crowning in Westminster. Anne Boleyn was created marquess of Pembroke before her coronation. Those two ceremonies were also very important in the process of legitimising those queens and exalting their status. In the last ask I had the 'tweaking' of the coronation ritual (which might not have been a tweaking after all!) in mind but there's more to it all 🌹x

i think i saw u post abt living in montreal once i do too and i get all my underwear either from la vie en rose (for wamens underwear, they have a good range of casual/practical to cute & lacey, and theyre in mix and match displays of either 5 for 35$ or 4 for 30$ or 10 for 20$???? i think) or in the mens boxers section at h&m (they come in packs of 5 for around 20$ i believe, & the S size is perfect for my dickless, tiny body as well. 10/10 for comfort and they kind of have swag.) you can order from either of those places website too i think. SORRY if this is like a weird amount of information im very passionate about clothes shopping

THAMK UUUU thats so helpful <3333 h&m the tboy holy land ..... i h8 going downtown but ig i will make a trip of it soon (^-^)

so much is happening i want to scream:(

the way my job gives me so much anxiety it's not even funny. that place is a fucking disaster. i get told im going to be part time and im out here working 40hrs a week, and i dont even get my second break usually like im supposed to. there aren't enough people in the department i work in and they pull people from it for other departments anyway. one of our team leads basically told us all our sections looked like shit tonight and he was going to walk us though it and make us tell him everything we did wrong. i was stuck somewhere else for most of my shift and couldn't work on my section, so when i tell you i was so scared dude you don't even fucking know lmao i literally cried because I'm still new and i didn't want them to think i did a bad job or im not cut out for it or whatever. and he never even showed up. he said it to "scare us into doing our work" and im so mad about it. i almost threw up for that ??

im so fucking tired and dehydrated and it's so hot in there i barely even eat on my lunch break and when i get home after my 8hr shift. i can't tell if im losing weight (unhealthy obvi) or if i have looked like this and didn't know lol so i just try not to look at myself if i can help it bc what.

i never really know what i look like, but when i do, it's ugly and i hate it.

also im working on moving into an apartment (i say 'me' but im not alone sgsksh) idk living is hard yk it's a lot and it's stupid and where my stuff is im not even staying bc sarah is a fucking bitch for no reason and i will hurt her feelings if she looks at me so yeah there's like so much shit happening and I'm so overwhelmed like hello i can actually only do so much pls why

anyways i am really tired and i want to cry and sleep forever and ever:( is this what happens when you keep things 'bottled up' lol

omg also? i haven't gotten my period yet like since April and im 🥴🤨 bc where is she yk and then im like babe you're literally a ball of fucking stress and anxiety please take a Xanax but back to stress im so worried i will get my period on my 8hr shift with nothing and i don't drive myself so that is like extra fun yk wow

the way i have never talked so much and i do it like this where nobody will read it sgskdgd this is who i am as a person irl though so congrats if u read this ig hello

also since I'm fucking word vomiting i guess and ive already come to terms with how nobody will read this, i hate this place. like tumblr i mean. idk it just like sucks to feel like you deserve more than you get yk and i actually am allowed to say that. my moodboards do not do nearly as good as i would like to think they would when i make them and it sucks. because believe it or not i start out thinking they're so pretty and the lack of interaction makes me doubt my own abilities and i hate that. and how I have so many "followers" with the amount of notes i get LOL what a joke actually. especially when they're also content creators. why are you even following me then yk like i only provide one thing and you don't even seem to like it so what are you doing here. it's annoying honestly. how can a content creator be the one not giving support. smh.

i think i need to go to sleep bc idk what i just said and if anyone reads this i feel like ppl will be mad at me so that's where I'm at lolllllll i h8 myself <3

What the best thing that has happened this week?

Awww yay, a sweet question!!

Usually I h8 children but while I had a full section of tables at work, a smol child drew me a picture of Spider-Man and I cried a lil internally. It was such a pure and sweet gesture while I was stressed out that it truly made my whole week!

Tips On How To Extend Your Asic Miners Lifespan Lumerin Weblog

With growing competitors, the worth for worthwhile Bitcoin mining equipment has elevated significantly. As massive mining farms drive up demand and dominate the Bitcoin mining area, mining rigs have had to become extra highly effective, which in turn increases the value. While some ASIC miners can begin from $500, a professionally built mining rig can price as a lot as $15,000. It is likely to take greater than a 12 months to recoup your preliminary investment. Higher-end models with higher hash rates and power effectivity usually include the next price tag. It’s essential to calculate the potential return on investment (ROI) earlier than making a purchase order. Expressed in hashes per second, it denotes how many calculations a miner can execute each second. If you may be an individual seeking to mine in change for cash from the comfort of your personal home, you'll need to buy an ASIC miner. Soon after Canaan Creative, companies corresponding to Bitman, Bitwats, and MicroBT began manufacturing ASIC miners. You’re seeing this ad based on the product’s relevance to your search question. The solely issue is that ASIC machines are designed explicitly for a specific crypto asset rather than supporting a wide selection of cryptocurrencies to be mined. When purchasing or building your personal ASIC machine, you'll have to hold this facet in mind and determine which cryptocurrency you want to mine. The hash price of an ASIC miner refers again to the variety of calculations it can perform per second. A BCH mining difficulty that’s 1/20 of BTC’s would lead to BCH being twice as profitable to mine. If BCH’s mining problem is 1/5 of BTC’s, BCH can be half as profitable to mine (all assuming the example costs above are static). Looking forward, Ethereum is migrating from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS), a consensus mechanism that does not require hardware mining. This will make ETH not mineable after section 2 of Ethereum 2.0 is carried out. An necessary consideration when purchasing an ASIC must be how quickly you're more probably to see a return on your original investment. This is determined by the hash power of the device – i.e. the variety of BTC it could generate day by day – minus your electrical energy prices, mining pool charges and present mining issue. StrongU have been round for a quantity of years and make the Hornbill H8 and H8 Pro bitcoin miners which hash TH/s, with and efficiency of W/TH. In theory the H8 machine could be very profitable, but no miner reviews are found and the mannequin remains a thriller. And, in 2018 they had been the primary producer to reach a chip effectivity of less than sixty three W/TH (75 W/TH on the wall).

But spare elements may be more out there than Whatsminer, as Canaan have a number of chip suppliers. Lastly, as with Outlet Miners warranty , the principle customer support center is located in China, so shipping for repairs can be well timed and expensive. Beside the occasional fan or PSU problem, the only actual draw back to a Whatsminer is that it consumes around 10% extra electrical energy than an Antminer and due to this fact produces more heat. Further, substitute components for the 17-series can be found because many were produced. But keep in mind that hash boards are only interchangeable between the exact same model. This was experienced by some miners in China within the 2020 moist season when dams minimize electricity to release water load after heavy rain. BFGMiner relies upon our previous pick, CGMiner, but is designed specifically for ASIC mining hardware. The consumer can be suitable with FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) units and can be configured to work with some graphics playing cards – but it's not simple to make a profit from these. Mining is profitable with an ASIC, as their sole purpose and design are primarily based on mining cryptocurrency given their top-range effectivity. Model Bitmain Antminer Z15 from Bitmain mining Equihash algorithm with a most hashrate of 420ksol/s for an influence consumption of 1510W. Model Bitmain Antminer S19 Pro+ Hydro (198Th) from Bitmain mining SHA-256 algorithm with a maximum hashrate of 198Th/s for a power consumption of 5445W. Model Jasminer X4  from Jasminer mining EtHash algorithm with a most hashrate of 2.5Gh/s for a power consumption of 1200W. Removing amassed dust not solely prolongs lifespan, but additionally retains performance high. Exposing your mining hardware to environments and circumstances that fit these standards will result in them underperforming, struggling progressive damage, and even breaking down or burning out. The three biggest costs for Bitcoin mining are electrical energy, network infrastructure, and mining infrastructure. It consists of mining techniques competing with one another to unravel a cryptographic problem and awards bitcoin. Register an account on the site, add products to cart, fill your desired quantity, choose vacation spot country, delivery value and total worth will present. After putting an order and cost made, you'll receive a confirmation e-mail and your order standing will be modified to “awaiting shipment”. Your order standing might be changed to “shipped” when monitoring number is assigned on your order. Additionally, think about the long-term sustainability and environmental impact of your mining actions. These calculators can present estimates of your day by day, weekly, and monthly earnings. In order to verify electronic transactions, GPUs effectively decode cryptographic codes. While GPUs can be used for a wide selection of tasks, ASIC miners are specifically designed for cryptocurrency mining.

10 Greatest Asic Bitcoin Miners In 2022 After Taking A Glance At 100+ Miners

Though GPU and CPU mining rigs depend on parts that have multiple perform, ASIC miners are designed for the sole function of mining cryptocurrency. This singular focus makes an ASIC miner much more powerful and energy-efficient than a comparable GPU miner. ASIC miners are particularly designed for the singular objective of mining cryptocurrencies and usually are not versatile like general-purpose computers or processors. They are built with extremely specialized hardware tailored to carry out the advanced calculations required for cryptocurrency mining. ASIC miners are specialised digital foreign money mining machines which were custom-built completely for the purpose of mining. Unlike the overwhelming majority of CPUs and GPUs, ASIC miners are, due to this fact, the most environment friendly and highly effective machines bitcoin and altcoin miners can use in their mining operations. Many miners be part of a mining pool to increase their probabilities of incomes bitcoin. Mining swimming pools normally pay shares of rewards based on a miner's hashrate and work contributed. Cryptocurrency mining is required by a proof of work (PoW) blockchain like Bitcoin to hold out its operations. The mining process includes fixing a block's hash by randomly producing numbers until reaching a number beneath the goal difficulty number. If you’ve had some personal experience with mining software or think I missed something, let me know within the comments section below. Currently the best miner available on the market for mining Bitcoin is the Antminer S19 Pro by Bitmain. There are several things you should look out for when selecting your mining software. The prices incurred in connection with the returning of the product, part, or element to us shall be carried by the product proprietor. If the product, half, or component is returned uninsured, you assume all dangers of loss or injury throughout shipment.

An important consideration when buying an ASIC must be how soon you are prone to see a return in your unique investment. This is determined by the hash power of the system – i.e. the variety of BTC it could generate every day – minus your electricity costs, mining pool charges and present mining problem. StrongU have been round for a couple of years and make the Hornbill H8 and H8 Pro bitcoin miners which hash TH/s, with and efficiency of W/TH. In principle the H8 machine can be very profitable, but no miner evaluations are found and the mannequin remains a mystery. And, in 2018 they have been the first manufacturer to reach a chip efficiency of lower than 63 W/TH (75 W/TH at the wall). Compass is a Bitcoin-first company on a mission to help the decentralized development of hashrate and strengthen network security by serving to extra folks study, discover and mine Bitcoin. Since this line by MicroBT is not so powerful, the profitability is not so spectacular too. The only item we discovered on the web is new hardware on eBay, which prices $2,590. There are no available miners on the official website or another reseller web site. According to the specifications, the M30S++ is ready to function at a hash rate of 110 Th/s and an efficiency of 3,472 W. There are additionally ASIC manufacturers in different nations, however the manufacturing volumes are smaller. The manufacturer – Innosilicon, retails the system with a 121 day payback interval. Being an Ethash algorithm mining gear, it's used to mine Ether. It was launched in 2020 and measures 136 x 282 x 360mm by dimensions. Paraguay is a proverbial bit in the overall mining bucket, nonetheless. As of September 2021, the Cambridge Center for Alternative Finance (CCAF), positioned Paraguay’s hash fee manufacturing at zero.15% of the entire Bitcoin mining network. From bitcoin to litecoin and doge, the processes for mining different cryptocurrencies have a number of similarities and variations. Often created through the use of chips from disassembled ASICs, they've gone by way of waves of recognition every crypto cycle because of their relatively low worth and novelty. Yes, mining is becoming Outlet Miners review to setup and perceive, especially with the proliferation of easy-to-use mining tools and miners that require no electrical setup. However, the Jasminer X4-1U may be fairly expensive in comparability with other ASIC miners on the market, so it may not be the best selection for newbies or these with a restricted price range. It also will not be appropriate for home use in quiet environments, as it can produce extreme heat and noise.
