Adorably cheeky modern obi by KyoWakka inspired by folk hero Nezumi kozô, an Edo period Robin-hood-like folk hero actually named Nakamura Jirokichi.
The nickname Nezumi kozô lit. means "rat brat", but here the thief relieving the rich of their koban (oval gold coin) is... a cat!?
I love this design sooo much: the glowing lanterns of the party searching this phantom thief + the rat-shaped shadow are super cute details!

Interesting sight in my pet rats' hideout... This is a solid gold Montreal Olympics pin I found in a thrift store grab bag, and the rats have taken it and put it in their hideout like a decoration. They have clearly learned of intrinsic value and likewise learned to engage in thievery. I fear how powerful they may yet become.

the one good thing about my bus home being delayed by five hours is that i had time to reread both Thief of Time and Hogfather, and they're still two of the all-time Discworld bangers

Shang Qinghua is absolutely a thief
But he's a smart thief
He steals useful items and secrets from minor demons and certain merchants
The things he takes from Qian Cao's stores are easily hidden and the money from the melon seed crop goes right in his pocket.
He steals very little but extremely important things from Yue Qingyuan but very very rarely and he has nightmares of being caught
Before the Qi Deviation he never stole from Shen Qingqiu
After the reveal of his fellow Transmigrator he openly steals from his friend. Pilfering loose change and snacks (and leaves little annoying tokens of friendship)
He has stolen once from Sha Hualing and she still hasn't found out it was him
He only stole one thing from Luo Binghe and he was more an accomplice then the mastermind
(besides he got his Shizun back anyway)
When he admits to being a thief to his King he is quick to explain how he never steals from Mobei Jun. They are too close and besides, he doesn't need to. Mobei usually gives him whatever he wants
Often without being asked
Mobei Jun, with a face as serious as a grave, replies: "you have stolen from this King. You have stolen his heart"
And Shang Qinghua immediately chokes on his own spit before pretending to faint so he doesn't have to deal with sentiment

Death was never quite sure why he allowed the Death of Rats to have an independent existence. After all, being Death meant being Death of everything, including rodents of all descriptions. But perhaps everyone needs a tiny part of themselves that can, metaphorically, be allowed to run naked in the rain,* to think the unthinkable thoughts, to hide in corners and spy on the world, to do the forbidden but enjoyable deeds.
*Quite an overrated activity.
Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

THEY WERE BROTHERS. THEY WERE BROOOOTHHERRRRRSSS
still thinking about price and chip.....
Your entire world has been drowned in black tar, and when you're pulled from the viciously viscous jaws that claimed every love you gathered, where do you find yourself?
Actually you're crazy! You were a pirate? Of the legendary Black Rose? No ones really heard of those guys.
They think you just lost your memory or something when the sea congealed with ink, it was very traumatic for everyone after all.
And yet you insist! You need to find them! Just stay in one place, like Arlin always said, and they will find you! Or whatever. You have a really 'active imagination'.
You're really weird! But you're confident in it. You punched the last kid that called you crazy. It wasn't a fight you won, but it was one you fought. I saw the conviction clenched tightly in your teeth.
I saw you steal coin from that kid later as well. Salt in the wound. No one else saw it.
I like to take things too. Especially from jerks that don't deserve it. Youre really talented! Do you want to join my crew? This world is against us, y'know. It's full of people that think we're crazy. It's only you, me, and these few friends I've gathered. Just stick with me! And I'll punch any kid that calls you crazy too.
