Where to Start Reading My Dress-Up Darling After Season 2?

by

My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 has finished airing, concluding the story of Gojo Wakana and Marin Kitagawa for the time being. The last episode left viewers on a cliffhanger, as Marin didn’t manage to tell Gojo how she feels, even though she had been planning to. This lack of resolution has increased excitement among fans for a possible My Dress-Up Darling Season 3, in which they’re hoping to see Gojo and Marin become a couple in the anime.

tag, and not repeated in the body. Also, retain all images in their places. Add humor, sarcasm, and emojis. Looking at the original title: “Ukrainians Shield From War’s Economic Impact With Bitcoin, Crypto Investment Strategy, Survey Finds”. A Terry Pratchett-style clickbait title might be something like “Ukraine’s New Defense: Bitcoin and a Bit of Magic (Survey Says…)” – but I need to keep it under 100 characters. Maybe “Ukrainians Diversify Portfolios: Bitcoin Over Bank Notes (Survey Says…)” – but that’s 73 characters. Let me check the exact count. Let me think of something snappier and more Pratchett-like. Maybe “Ukraine’s Financial Sword: Bitcoin, Not Broadswords (Survey Alerts!)” – but maybe too long. Let me try: “Ukrainians Trade Rubles for Bitcoin: Survey Reveals Financial Witchcraft”. Hmm, maybe. Wait, the original title mentions crypto investment strategy. How about “Ukrainians Swap Banks for Bitcoin: Survey Proves Crypto is the New Black”? That’s 68 characters. Or “Ukraine’s Economic Armor: Bitcoin & Crypto (Survey Spells It Out)”. Maybe “Ukraine’s New Treasury: Bitcoin, Not Bombs (Survey Says…)”? Let me check the character count. “Ukraine’s New Treasury: Bitcoin, Not Bombs (Survey Says…)” is 59 characters. That works. It’s catchy, has a bit of humor, and fits the Pratchett vibe with the contrast between Bitcoin and bombs. Now, the body needs to be rewritten. Let’s go paragraph by paragraph. The first paragraph introduces the survey. Terry Pratchett often uses metaphors and personifies concepts. Maybe start with something like, “In a world where war and inflation have turned traditional banks into digital ghosts, the brave people of Ukraine have decided that the future of finance lies not in gold, but in Bitcoin. A recent survey, conducted by Ipsos and WhiteBIT, suggests that Ukrainians are now treating their savings like a wizards’ duel-diversifying their strategies with a sprinkle of crypto magic.” For the second paragraph, which talks about the survey findings and reasons (war, inflation, etc.), perhaps add some humor about the traditional financial system being as reliable as a teapot. “It seems that the traditional financial models, once as sturdy as a teapot made of tissue paper, are now viewed with the trust of a cat watching a canary. The ongoing war, inflation that makes your head spin, and currency fluctuations that could give a seagull whiplash have all contributed to this shift.” The third paragraph mentions the survey methodology. Terry Pratchett might mock the survey’s sample size with something like, “The survey, which is as reliable as a weather forecast in the Discworld, was conducted between April and May 2025. They asked 650 financially active respondents (that’s 650 people who know how to spell ‘invest’ and don’t confuse it with ‘investigate’) aged 18 to 65, living in cities with populations over 100,000. They excluded temporarily occupied territories and active conflict zones because, well, it’s hard to do a survey when someone’s trying to blow up your house.” The part about the surveyed group consisting of 300 and 350 people: “The group included 300 financially active adults who earn money, save it, and don’t reject crypto. That’s 300 people who’ve probably heard of the word ‘diversify’ and decided it’s not just for garden gnomes. And 350 respondents who already hold part of their savings in crypto-because nothing says ‘financial security’ like storing your life savings in a digital wallet that might one day be hacked by a rogue AI with a grudge.” The next paragraph about diversification: “Over half of the respondents are now focusing on diversification, which in financial terms means not putting all your eggs in one basket-or in this case, not putting all your eggs, baskets, and maybe even your hens in the same financial institution. They’re looking at alternative investments like Bitcoin, which is becoming the new ‘something something’ in the Ukrainian investor’s portfolio.” The blockquote about use cases: “Common uses include trading (57%), long-term storage (52%), protecting from inflation (51%), and daily transactions. So, basically, Ukrainians are using Bitcoin like a multi-tool for their financial survival kit. If it’s not a currency, it’s a hedge; if it’s not a hedge, it’s a way to send money to grandma without a bank charging you like a dragon guarding its hoard.” The image description: “As the chart above shows…” could become, “As the chart above shows (which probably looks like a graph someone drew on a napkin after a particularly intense cup of tea), 49% see crypto as a way to earn significant capital, while 47% are in it for the passive income. Meanwhile, 31% use it to protect from inflation, and 41% to shield from the war’s economic impact. It’s like a financial Swiss Army knife, but with more volatility and less cheese.” The part about financial independence: “The survey also found that Ukrainian investors are ready to take responsibility for their financial future. They’re not waiting for the government to hand them a golden goose-they’re out there learning the ropes, which is impressive considering most of them probably learned about Bitcoin from a friend who saw it in a dream.” The expert quote: “Experts say that in times of military instability, people seek tools to manage finances independently of the state or banks. Which is just a fancy way of saying, ‘When your government is busy defending the country, maybe don’t rely on them for your savings.’ Makes sense.” The EBRD report part: “A September report by the EBRD noted Ukraine as a top crypto user. It seems that when your GDP is being hit harder than a piñata at a wizard convention, crypto becomes the go-to for managing debt and interest payments. Ukraine’s 2025 growth forecast was revised down, thanks to Russian aggression and harvests that were about as successful as a farmer trying to grow turnips in a snowstorm.” The crypto inflows: “Nonetheless, Ukraine stands out with one of the highest crypto adoption rates. Between July 2023 and July 2024, they received over $106 billion in crypto, mostly from institutional transfers. Imagine receiving that much money while also dealing with the logistics of a war. It’s like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle-except the torches are Bitcoin and the unicycle is the economy.” The legal framework part: “Ukraine’s crypto landscape has been evolving since 2022 when President Zelenskyy signed the ‘On Virtual Assets’ law. It’s a bit like passing a law about how to ride a broomstick before anyone’s ever actually ridden one. The law hasn’t been implemented yet, waiting for Tax Code amendments. Deputy Minister Bornyakov said that legalizing crypto could generate billions, which is probably the financial equivalent of finding a golden snitch in your budget.” The Verkhovna Rada passing the bill: “Lawmakers have been working on the necessary framework, aiming to bring Ukrainian legislation closer to the European MiCA framework. It’s like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole while wearing mittens. The bill’s first reading passed in September, and they’ll review it over the next few months for the second reading in early 2026. It’s a process as smooth as a witch’s cauldron during a full moon.” Adding emojis where appropriate: Maybe a few 🦄, 💰, 🧙‍♂️, 🚀, etc., to keep the tone light and humorous. Also, ensure that all images are retained in their original positions. Check that the title is in and not repeated in the body. Make sure no tags are used and no color styles. Keep the humor and sarcasm consistent throughout, mimicking Pratchett’s style with metaphors, footnotes, and asides. Finally, wrap everything in the HTML structure, ensuring all tags are properly closed and the content flows naturally with the added humor and emojis.End of Thought (60.54s) Ukraine’s New Treasury: Bitcoin, Not Bombs (Survey Says…)
