Lucky Cricket: Crickets have been kept as pets to attract luck and prosperity. Their pleasing songs remind us to be happy and appreciate the small things in life. They have also invited wealth to their owners, either through a beautiful song or victory in violent cricket fights.

In researching various good luck charms from around the world I was not able to confidently connect crickets as good luck charms outside of my memory of Mulan getting one for good luck. Disney isn’t the best at authentic representations, so I didn’t want to rely solely on that.

Cricket fights are a real thing that people bred prized lines of crickets to compete in. Truth is wilder than fiction.

Be excellent to everyone.

Lucky Charm: A controversial lucky charm.

 A controversial lucky charm.

Figa charm: This charm shows a hand forever frozen in the fig gesture. The gesture is used as a lucky charm in some countries like Brazil and Portugal. Many cultures find this gesture offense. It is apparently similar to flipping someone off in America or the V-sign in the UK.

The charm’s protective powers are actually derived from the offensive nature of the gesture. It is so offensive as to rebuff bad luck or the harmful effects of, you guessed it, the evil eye.

I’m sorry if I offended you, but this is just another situation where I learned something new in the research for a drawing project.

Be excellent to everyone.

 Five items from Oracles of Seasons that will get you feeling better in no time.

Lava Soup: A hot new take on stone soup, this soup is part of the trading quest in Oracle of Seasons. Link gives the perfectly seasoned iron pot to the Subrosian Chef so that they can craft their masterpiece. This soup is pretty amazing as it is hot and enjoyable no matter how long Link has been carrying it around Holodrum before giving it to the Biggoron.

One bowl of this amazing soup will make you feel better no matter how sick you are. Two bowls of this delicious soup will fill you up enough to last you all day. Three bowls of this addictive soup will lash you to the will of a devious Chef that will stop at nothing until they have fed every person with great food and starved every person of their free will.

Some people are avoiding their second dose of the COVID vaccine because of possible side effects. I had very strong side effects. I felt like garbage for about a day and a half. Now that is over and I feel confident knowing that I have 90%+ protection against getting, spreading, or dying from a disease that has ravaged humans all over the world.

Get any vaccine. Get all of the vaccine as it is recommended by the science that created it. It takes us all working together to be excellent to everyone.
