I'm thinking about Miko with powers and despite how overpowered it is it would have to be luck related right?

It fits her too well and I don't mean in just a personality sense but in a "Ugh, of course it would be luck," way. With all shit she's done it canon how could it not?

It's also one of the only options that gives her the chance to be a hero. Since any major physical abilities would land her straight in jail from the amount of property damage she would cause and psychic stuff would lead to crimes against the mind.

I love Miko however she shouldn't be trusted with any amount of power though.

Old design I never used for anything but I turned it into a sticker recently.

It was supposed to be the foil for my Unlucky design.

22 February is Cat Day

2/22, or 22/2 in Europe (luckily it works both ways, unlike Pi Day), can be pronounced "nya-nya-nya" in Japanese, which sounds like a cat meowing. So here's a picture from Gôtoku-ji, the famous maneki-neko temple.

What do you mean, "one cat is not enough for cat day"?

Okay, how's this?

Gôtoku-ji is absolutely packed with maneki-neko figures! The "beckoning cat" is its lucky charm that people buy, make wishes on, and leave at the temple. The legend behind the lucky cat, at this temple at least, goes back to a feudal lord in the Edo period, who was drawn into the temple by a cat just before a storm struck; the cat had thus invited him in to take shelter.

What do you mean, "more"?

The local tram line also has a maneki-neko liveried train. I already mentioned it once, but didn't tell the story behind it: it's basically an anniversary livery. It first appeared in 2017 for the 110th anniversary of the Tamaden company that originally ran the line, and returned, permanently, in 2019 for the 50th anniversary of the Setagaya line in its current form.
