The funniest part of this new event is the fact I can't find out what's going on it from spoilers. All context is lost in the wave of Hot Eel Mom. I love her, all hail Georgina, mother of This and That, but where is the context? What *is* the event?

to be fair, we're still in the intro part, so not much has actually happened yet! Jade and Floyd were supposed to go to their mom's friend's wedding to help with the ancient merfolk marriage custom of

❤️❤️❤️~the Test of Love~❤️❤️❤️

but Floyd last-minute changed his mind (on account of being Floyd) and Azul was like "I'm not going if your mom is going to be there". at which point Jade realized he'd just been handed a golden opportunity to invite the absolute funniest group of people he could think of.

anyway tl;dr Jade manipulates a bunch of nerds into joining him to heckle/throw bricks at/try to drown a couple of randos in the name of love, what could possibly go wrong

adrien would have such a hard time actually owning a cat because he would know how bad it is for the cat and the environment to let it just roam free outside but then his other option is keeping the cat locked inside the house and what if it feels trapped? what if it’s isolated? what if it hates being stuck in the house??? he can’t do that. what kind of cat father would he be.

But then…there’s Osha. 

Osha, who leans into him in the shelter of a doorway from the rain on Jabiim, caught in bad weather while buying necessities. Without even thinking, like a reflex he’s had for years, he curls his arm around her, tucking her in close to his side and away from the rain as they wait for the downpour to subside. She inhales, sharp and quiet, the arm not pressed to his side reaching up to touch his coat.

They both look at eachother, a little shocked at their placement, and neither move to change it.

He smiles. It pulls at the corners of his mouth before he can stop it. He watches as her eyes soften, her weight settled comfortably against him, and she smiles too. Her fingers tangle in the fabric of his coat, like she finally had permission.

(she always did)

They both turn away as her cheeks flush, looking at the sodden sky as they wait.

Thief: I put my eye against the keyhole and try to peer into the next room.

DM: You see what looks like a mosaic of bright red tiles, then it moves slightly and a large eye looks back at you. Roll for initiative.

Храм Изумрудного Будды в Бангкоке, Таиланд.

Храм Изумрудного Будды – это одна из главных достопримечательностей Большого Королевского Дворца, некогда бывшая в собственности короля и его семейства, а сегодня ставшая достоянием народа Таиланда. Тайцы называют его Ват Пхра Кео (Wat Phra Kaeo). Храмовый комплекс занимает площадь около 55 га в историческом центре Бангкока. Возведение шедевра тайской архитектуры началось в период правления Рамы I, основателя династии Чакри.Этот храм был построен, как неотъемлемая часть Дворца, и раньше был святая святых королевского семейства. Только самые знатные и приближенные к монарху люди вправе были сюда ходить. И сейчас никто не может зайти с парадного входа, кроме них.

В этом храме находится Изумрудный Будда, перед которым каждый новый тайский король дает клятву верности своему народу, восходя на трон. Эта королевская традиция началась с Рамы I и остается неизменной до настоящего времени. Дотрагиваться до Будды может только король Таиланда. А вытирать пыль с него разрешено исключительно ему или наследном�� принцу. Всем остальным прикасаться к статуе запрещено, это расценивается как святотатство. Кроме того, трижды в год король одевает Будду в различные, шитые золотом одежды. Считается, что данный ритуал должен принести народу страны процветание и благополучие, а его государству и монарху – могущество. Каменная статуя божества, сидящего в позе лотоса, имеет высоту 66 см и ширину – 48,3 см. Относительно материала, из которого она изготовлена, существуют разные версии: изумруд, нефрит или жадеит. Нет единого мнения и в вопросах об авторстве, о времени и месте изготовления статуи.

Помимо статуи Будды в храме можно увидеть впечатляющие и интересные произведения искусства. В отличие от Изумрудной статуи, другие статуи приглашают посетителей подойти поближе, сделать подношение и даже прикоснуться, чтобы завоевать удачу, успех или любовь. Другие экспонаты на территории включают библиотеку, содержащую сотни древних священных писаний, специальные настенные росписи и модель храма Ангкор-Ват в Камбодже.

Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is one of the main attractions of the Grand Royal Palace, once owned by the king and his family, and today has become the property of the people of Thailand. Thais call it Wat Phra Kaeo. The temple complex occupies an area of ​​about 55 hectares in the historical center of Bangkok. The construction of a masterpiece of Thai architecture began during the reign of Rama I, the founder of the Chakri dynasty. This temple was built as an integral part of the Palace, and used to be the holy of holies of the royal family. Only the most noble and close to the monarch people had the right to go here. And now no one can enter through the main entrance except them.

This temple houses the Emerald Buddha, before which each new Thai king takes an oath of allegiance to his people, ascending the throne. This royal tradition began with Rama I and remains unchanged to this day. Only the King of Thailand can touch the Buddha. Only he or the Crown Prince is allowed to wipe the dust off it. Everyone else is forbidden to touch the statue, as this is considered sacrilege. In addition, three times a year the King dresses the Buddha in various gold-embroidered clothes. It is believed that this ritual should bring prosperity and well-being to the people of the country, and power to its state and monarch. The stone statue of the deity, sitting in the lotus position, is 66 cm high and 48.3 cm wide. There are different versions of the material from which it is made: emerald, nephrite or jadeite. There is no consensus on the authorship, time and place of the statue's manufacture.

In addition to the Buddha statue, you can see impressive and interesting works of art in the temple. Unlike the Emerald Statue, other statues invite visitors to come closer, make offerings, and even touch them to gain good luck, success, or love. Other exhibits on the grounds include a library containing hundreds of ancient scriptures, special wall paintings, and a model of Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple.

Realized something so funny about Yusuke while playing Strikers.

1. He suggests that the Phantom Thieves go to Kyoto on their vacation because he really wants an art tour, and he immediately gets vetoed. They then plan a barbecue, and he gets excited for that but then plans change when the Metaverse returns and they go on their road trip, so he gets deprived of that too. But every single time their vacation gets brought up he acts like these things are going to happen. "What about our Kyoto excursion" "our barbecue extravaganza" he is in his own little world where the Thieves listen to him. They actually do eventually go to Kyoto and he STILL doesn't get his art tour.

2. Zenkichi tells them that Alice Hiiragi went to the same school as the Thieves and Yusuke pipes up like "SHE WENT TO KOSEI HIGH??" Even though he is the only member of the Thieves who didn't go to Shujin Academy.

3. The scene where they discuss how they're going to go on their road trip without a vehicle and he announces that he has money like it's HIS MOMENT. Like it's the moment he's been waiting for his whole life, and Futaba responds "keep your snack money, Inari". Later he makes a comment about how he's gone from "rags to riches".

Every single case of this he gets the dramatic cut-in thing, so what I'm saying is Yusuke is convinced he's the main character through all of Strikers. Like he goes through the motions assuming the world will bend at his whimsy and the other Thieves just sigh and move on.
