興風作浪

兴 = 小 + 一 + 八 : I would say this one looks definitely like a hedgehog, but since there's already a character for hedgehog, let's call this one a sea star.

兴 = 小 + 一 + 八 : Marie Curie found a sea star attached to a big eight ball in the engine's bathroom. As she is a curious and interested scientist, she wants to investigate the sea star, so she pokes it with a flute and tries to tickle it with a daisy.

风 = 乂 + 几 : Frankenstein's Monster has to wait in front of the engine. Because the wind is blowing, he uses pliers to disassemble a small table and builds a shelter with the parts.

作 = 乍 + 亻 : Rosa Luxemburg (亻) and Zapatista Zebra (zu) are high-fiveing in the observatory's bathroom (o4) because they're growing so awesome Mohawk (乍) haircuts.

浪 = 氵 + 良 : In the past, waves (浪) used to break (浪) out of the anglepod's toilets (ang4) in an unrestrained (浪) way and dissipate (浪) through the while temple complex. But one day, Sir Lancelot (l) saw this misery and decided to help. He put up wave breakers (浪) which guide the waves into bottles of water (氵) so that the water can be poured back into the toilet. The high temple priest was so thankful that he gave Lancelot a thank you card (良).
