Gröning proposed the idea for the film to the monks in 1984, but the Carthusians said they wanted time to think about it. They responded to him 16 years later to say they were willing to permit him to shoot the movie if he was still interested.

[ID: Two images showing a digital comic of the character Ladybug from Miraculous. In the first comic, it shows Ladybug looking at her yoyo, waiting for a response from Chat Noir as he types. Her previous messages say, “hey its been a bit r u still coming for patrol? just wanna make sure u remember we changed the time.” Chat Noir responds back, “Sorry, got caught up with talking to my family. Coming now” and he adds a smiley face at the end.
Ladybug thinks to herself, “Chat Noir has a family… I wonder what they’re like?” It cuts to show a picture that’s labeled “Chat Noir’s Family according to Ladybug’s mental image.” It shows civilian Chat Noir sitting in a chair. He still has his cat ears even with no mask. A black cat with a bowtie is sitting on the backrest of the chair and is labeled “M. Noir.” There’s another black cat with a ribbon tied around the neck sitting on the chair’s armrest labeled, “Mme. Noir.” In a box on Chat Noir’s lap, there are two kittens inside labelled, “litter of little siblings.” Ladybug is trying not to laugh at her own imagination.
In the second comic, it starts by saying, “After identity reveal.” Ladybug looks furious and says, “I cannot believe M. Noir turned out to be Gabriel Agreste,” with Gabriel Agreste underlined. There’s a picture of a cat with a bowtie labelled, “cute fluffy cat dad” that’s there in direct comparison to a picture of Gabriel labelled, “DISGUSTING.” Ladybug keeps on talking, “mon chaton deserves only the best parents this world has to offer!” Then, a lightbulb pops over Ladybug’s indicating she has an idea. She smirks to herself as she thinks, “I have the best parents.” The word I is underlined. The next panel shows her with a bigger smirk as she thinks, “Plan to Get Chat Noir a New Family: Step 1. Convince Adrien on the merits of eloping.” There’s a cartoony drawing of Marinette on one knee proposing to Adrien. End ID]
the drawn version of a post i made a couple days ago. in summary of that post i want marinette to think about what chat noir’s civilian life is like. and i want her to come up with the most bizarre conclusion possible because she really cant imagine chat noirs life at all. and also because she cant contemplate him being anything but a catboy.
bonus:
[ID: Ladybug holding a cat while Chat Noir watches. Ladybug says, “chat noir look its ur sibling!” He replies back, “m’lady i’m not related to every cat in paris.” She responds, “so u r related to some?” with r and some underlined. End ID]

Hey kid, look at me.
I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.
Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.
These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.
Hey, I know another type of stretch for this!
I had to go to occupational therapy a while back due to pain in my ulnar nerve (same nerve that acts as your 'funny bone'). It was getting compressed from jamming my elbow against hard plastic armrests that were in a too-tall fixed position on my cheap old office chair. I was having burning and tingling pain and numbness radiating from my elbow into my ring and pinky fingers. It sucked. Honestly, I found it worse than carpal tunnel, because a rigid elbow brace makes life way harder than a rigid wrist brace.
Anyways, the main exercise that my occupational therapist had me do was called a nerve glide. The stretches OP describes help improve flexibility, but the nerve gliding exercise helps move the nerve out of the pinched spot so it can move more freely.
Here's the best diagram I can find of it:
It's a little confusing, so have some extra description on the weird parts:
- Step 3: thumb side moves down and towards the front.
- Step 4: hand rotates out and around, pinky side first.
- Step 5: nothing fancy here, just straighten your elbow.
- Step 6 (not on diagram, but recommended by therapist): with arm in the same position, tilt your head towards the opposite side for a few second (works as a stretch).
Ulnar nerve compression (aka cubital tunnel) is apparently super common, but I had never heard of it before I started having issues. If you lean forwards on your desk or armrests a lot, I'd suggest giving these a try. It feels kind of weird because you can feel the nerve, but it shouldn't hurt at all.
Adding to this as someone that has been to PT due to my job destroying my neck/shoulders (plus all my hobbies), some other easy things to do at home:
Wall Angels:
And wall shoulder stabilization exercises:
you can start off by doing this with a towel on the wall instead if it's easier or that's all you have available.
Cursed is he who in fine weather waits for finer weather still. That is what you did, wretch. You knew to speak, yet remained silent — though you had occasion enough. Cursed was your silence.

There is such a moment in the "Jedi Quest 8: The Changing of the Guard" and I decided to draw it
Bull Leaping in ancient Minoan culture
For the boardgame expansion pack "Minos: Dawn of Faith" I was asked to imagine how religious ceremonies in ancient Minoan culture could have looked like. Here, young men demonstrate a dangerous acrobatic stunt. Ritual leaping over bulls is a motif in Middle Bronze Age figurative art, especially in Minoan art.
And yes, this was challenging to draw! I looked at many pictures of gymnasts to figure out the jumper's pose.
