Expectation vs. Reality for Poshuijie, a major holiday celebrated in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan province, as well as in general by the Dai, Achang, Bulang, Wa, and De'ang Chinese people.

Poshuijie ("Water splashing festival") is also known as Songkran in Thailand and is celebrated in the month of April.

In the spirit of Dungeon Meshi I think that Muppets could be considered a type of monster in the dungeon and that Laios would absolutely try to eat felt stuffing and fabric. And it would taste horrible UNTIL they cut inside it deep enough past the felt to reach the puppeteer meat which I feel should look enough like a human hand to fuck with them but enough like a monster that they're like sure. why not.

in the scene where xl and hc talk by the campfire, the mandarin phrase they used has added layers of meaning referencing buddhist/taoist beliefs about karma.

xie lian: “那位金枝玉叶的贵人,真是几世修来的福缘啊。”
hua cheng: “我能遇上他,才是我几世修来的。”

“几世修来的福缘” means sth like ”good fortune cultivated through several lifetimes”. unlike the western concept of luck, which is usually thought of in terms of lucky things simply happening to you suddenly, chinese buddhists/taoists often believe in the concept of karma, where if you spend your life doing many good deeds, working hard to be a good person, you can earn enough good karma to reincarnate into a better life with better fortune and less hardships.

so here xie lian is basically saying to hua cheng, your beloved truly must have been blessed with good fortune cultivated over several lifetimes, to be loved by you. and hua cheng is correcting him, that i was even able to meet you, i’m the one who has cultivated several lifetimes of good fortune.

they may each think the other is talking about someone else, but both of them are thinking the same thing: to meet or be loved by you is several lifetimes’ worth of good fortune.
