I remember discovering the fire of Notre Dame on tumblr, so I'm very sorry to inform everyone that the Danish Stock Exchange in Copenhagen, completed in 1625, is burning. Its unique spire has fallen, and as the building is, to a larger degree than Notre Dame, made of wood, mortar, and stucco, there may be very real structural damage. As you can see from the image, they were in the process of restoring it, just as it was the case with the church. Very real reconsideration should be done to how we restore very old buildings if we keep setting them on fire during the work.

People off the street have been seen running into the building and bringing out historical art pieces, primarily paintings. If you are close by, DO NOT do this! I know it appears the heroic thing to do, but no human life is worth the risk to save a painting, no matter how significant.

Before all this:

Roxas: Had the Halloween town kids throw bombs in his face for multiple missions in a row before finally breaking down and smacking them around a bit.

Ventus: The dwarves were rude and refused to talk to him, immediately resorted to chasing them down and whacking them.

Characterization I see frequently: Ah, yes, Roxas is the one always willing to throw hands and Ventus is a smol sunshine boy.

"Merry Christmas. Even if you are on my naughty list." from Emma 😎👉👉

Benjamin snorted, hardly looking up from his mulled wine -- of which, admittedly, he might have already had two or three helpings. "What, is this some kind of trick?" he asked. "You've never wished me well, not even when I've been nothing but a delight to you."

L.icking the wine remnants from his lips, he set aside his cup and looked up at Emma with a soft, ever-growing smirk. Tis the season...

"Merry C.hristmas, Miss Dunster. Though if my suspicions are correct, I imagine you're waiting until I leave so you can sneak a lump of coal into my stocking."
