Singles Happy End Rarest

NIRVANA Love Buzz (Super rare 1988 US Sub-Pop label 2-track 7' vinyl single. This spectacular debut differs from the version featured on the Bleach album in that there is a 10 second 'cartoon' intro.

Is a card-collection game of course, so it makes sense some of its cards would be, well, collector’s items. One just fetched more than $87,000 in an eBay sale., the Black Lotus card from Magic: The Gathering’s original launch — August 1993, so, happy upcoming 25th anniversary, while we’re at it — went for $87,672 after bidding closed this week. The Black Lotus, which officially “adds 3 mana of any single color of your choice to your mana pool,” showed up in three printings of Magic: The Gathering card sets from 1993.

What makes this Black Lotus card so valuable is only 1,100 were printed for MTG’s alpha set from 1993. When a rare item has a known and fixed number, its value increases accordingly.

Also helping this card’s sale price was a 9.5 grading (out of 10) from card collection evaluator Beckett. Kotaku has a better explanation for why Black Lotus was so powerful — and so, therefore, rare. Magic players versed in the game’s balance and mana systems know that it gives players a nice head start if they begin a game with it. It’s shown up before and always commands attention when it does — a 2014, for example.

For me, it’s fascinating to see a card collection game item from 25 years ago fetch a price that would legitimately make a sports collector’s year. And sports cards are a hobby that has taken a beating, badly, over the past quarter century. Magic: The Gathering’s rarer items may not yet be getting the seven-figure prices estimated for — but then, it hasn’t been around as long.

Give the game some time, and we might be talking about the Black Lotus one day the way baseball fans do for Honus Wagner.

On “UnREAL,” things get meta. The rejected proposals happen within “Everlasting,” the “Bachelor(ette)”-like show that the main characters produce. Serena Wolcott is the reality show’s first female lead, a whip-smart single woman who proves difficult to manipulate.

On a show that usually depends on a happy ending for ratings and audience buy-in, Serena chooses no one. “I have wanted this so much, but I realize that I have to wait until I know for sure in my soul that I have found my perfect match,” she says to her two dejected suitors ― and all of America. Unmarried women are a potent force in American society. As of 2016, there were 110.6 million unmarried people over the age of 18 in the United States, and. As Rebecca Traister wrote in an of her 2016 book All the Single Ladies, “We are living through the invention of independent female adulthood as a norm, not an aberration, and the creation of an entirely new population: adult women who are no longer economically, socially, sexually, or reproductively dependent on or defined by the men they marry.”. And yet single women are still being explicitly and implicitly told ― by, by creators, by ― that their lives are fundamentally incomplete. They are constantly in a state of “becoming,” not because of personal growth and possibility, but because of what they lack ― a long-term, monogamous, romantic (implied male) partner.

In the words of Simone de Beauvoir: “Marriage is traditionally the destiny offered to women by society. Most women are married or have been, or plan to be or suffer from not being.”. In 1960, nearly 60 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 were married. By So what happens when, for the first time in American history, you have a critical mass of unmarried women over the age of 30 who choose to or simply find themselves in a position to build family structures, financially stable careers and homes independently? Do the stories ― even the fictional ones ― we tell about these women expand along with their realities?

Or do we continue to privilege romantic partnership as the natural, and only truly happy, end to a female character’s narrative arc? In “Jessica Jones,” not only is Trish unmarried, but so is the titular character herself, and, in Season 2, high-powered attorney Jeri Hogarth. Romantic and sexual relationships certainly feature in the show, but the Marvel series is ultimately about self-discovery ― Jessica’s embrace of her superhero status, or Trish’s realization that her deepest desires are professional and not romantic.

In “UnREAL,” producers Rachel Goldberg and Quinn King are both single, as is the aforementioned protagonist of “Everlasting,” Serena. The show-within-the-show might be laser-focused on manufactured love, but “UnREAL” itself is more interested in power ― how it’s wielded, how it corrupts, how women can reclaim it. For both series, romance is part of the equation, but it’s hardly the only or even primary goal for their female protagonists, a reality that has long been accepted as the norm for male characters. Of course, we’ve seen boundary-breaking, unmarried protagonists on television before.
