random cang qiong disciple: is peak lord shen missing? do we need to search for him??
yue qingyuan, looking at the portrait and sighing wistfully: no, I just wanted to show you how handsome and elegant he is.

Greetings,
My name is Mohammad Abu Swierh, and I’m reaching out to you from Al-Nuseirat, Gaza, where my wife and I are raising our three precious children: Mira, Bakr, and Maria. Our lives have been upended by the relentless conflict that has plagued our home for over 11 months. 💔
The daily reality we face is beyond what words can express. We live with constant fear and uncertainty, and our once-comfortable home has been severely damaged, leaving us to grapple with unimaginable challenges. My children have been deprived of a normal childhood, and we now find ourselves in a desperate struggle for survival. 💔😔
After much thought and heartache, we have made the difficult decision to leave Gaza in search of a better future for our children, a future where they can grow up safe, free from the shadows of war. But we cannot make this journey alone.
Here’s how your support can make a difference:
- 20,000$: To cover the expenses of leaving Gaza and starting a new life.
- 19,000$: For a year’s worth of housing, living expenses, and other essentials.
- 1,000$: Approx. GoFundMe transaction fees.
This is not just about escaping danger; it’s about giving my children a chance to live, to learn, and to hope. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to a life of safety and dignity. 🙏
Your generosity can be the beacon of light that guides us through this dark time. Please consider donating and sharing our story with others who might want to help. 🌹
From the depths of our hearts, thank you for standing with us. ❤️🍉
Note: Unfortunately, my previous account was unexpectedly terminated for reasons that remain unclear to me. Despite this setback, I am determined to continue my journey and my efforts to raise the necessary funds to provide a brighter future for my family.

oh, you’re walking through this door? let me just ~politely~ slam the door in your face on the way out
i know we’re technically supposed to be fighting each other with swords, but you ended up on the ground and i fell on top of you, and woah… i never noticed how attractive you are until now, so let me just appreciate for a moment – wHY THE HELL DID YOU JUST SHOVE ME
you’ve got me pinned against the wall and i’m not sure if i want to kiss you, or kill you. probably both
‘’i know we’re, like… friends now, or whatever, but… i’d still kick your ass.’’ ‘‘like you could ever beat me.’‘ but they do, in fact, beat them.
so you’re just… not going to respect my take on this whole thing and go against everything i just said? that’s fine. i’ll just do the same thing and – oh, you didn’t like that? okay. O K A Y . and obviously, they’re doing it out of spite
character A says ‘‘i’m going to kill you.’‘ and character B takes a step close, they’re so close now, if character B bends their head, they’d be kissing, and character B’s intensely staring into character A’s eyes, and character A’s like… shit . THIS DID NOT GO AS PLANNED ABORT MISSION ABORT ABORT ABOR —–
OH NO – my love interest has said that they don’t care if anything happens to me, but now i’m about to die, and they’re risking their own life by running into a burning building to save me!!!!! also, did they just scream my name before bursting into the building??? god why do they sound so,,, worried????
okay, so… did we… did we just hug… dude. let, let go of me. let’s just. let’s just pretend this didn’t happen. *cough* i’m going to walk away now. okay. BYE
‘‘is that a smile?’‘ ‘‘if you tell anyone about this, i swear to god, i’ll kill you.’’
so somebody ends up on somebody’s lap and holy shit maybe the tension is… unbearable
when they share an intimate moment, or maybe even a kiss, and they’re both so confused by it, they completely derail. like, they just… stop working. because what the HELL just happened and then they just stare at each other and nobody says a word until one of them turns around and SPRINTS out of the room
‘‘go ahead, do it. if you’re so convinced you’ll kill me, do it.’‘ faster than a bullet, character A grabs a knife, handing it over to character B, who, of course, despite having spent the last couple of months claiming they would kill their love interest, and leave them for dead, can’t bring themselves to grab the knife, and actually do it
you ever just get so annoyed by a person, and what they have to say, that you snatch hold of knife and throw it into the wall behind them with all of your strength yeah me neither but maybe this fictional couple would
using seduction to try and throw each other off balance, usually by taking their clothes off in front of the other person, and it’s working
you just took a friend of mine hostage, and your crew’s been torturing them… i just found out about it, and i’m so disappointed, and there’s tears in my eyes, and the other character’s like, holy hell it fucking hurts seeing you like that… and knowing that my crew did that, that i did that to you… that i’m responsible…
when character A is really sad, and just… out of nowhere, wraps themselves into character B’s arms and starts crying… and character B’s just like… what the hell…? we hate each other? but ok i’ll let it slide this time
there’s only one bed, but this time they’re arguing over who has to sleep on the floor, in which nobody agrees to do, so they end up in the same bed, incredibly annoyed that they have to share their space (it’s not like friends to lovers, in which they both awkwardly get into bed and laughs it off. this is straight up just. i will set this bed on fire if you don’t stay over on your side)
do these two do anything other than be at each other’s throats. like. can they hold oNE conversation without arguing over something
so you’re just. you’re just going to chain me up against this tree. okay. that’s fine. that’s totally fine. i’m fine.
when one of them realizes that they’ve gone too far, and they show up at their love interest’s door to apologize, but the following conversation happens; ‘‘why are you here?’‘ ‘‘i’m here because i want to apologize.’‘ ‘‘well, i don’t want you here, so go away.’’ followed by the character getting the door slammed in their face.
THE FIRST KISS – and total denial after it happened, and they’re convincing themselves that there’s nothing going on between them… and they pull away from the kiss, and look at each other, and they’re just like… yeah. just realized i’m head over heels in love with this person but if i speak i will die
when they’re having a moment, and one of the characters says ‘’you hate me.’’ and the other character replies with ‘’maybe i don’t hate you entirely’’
when character A’s crew has taken character B hostage, and character A finds out they’re to be executed, and suddenly it’s this race against the clock to try and save character B’s life, while also trying to not reveal to their crew that they’re head over heels in love with the enemy
it’s not enemies to lovers if the characters hasn’t tried to kill each other at least once, or betrayed each other, or put a friend or a loved one of the other person in danger
literally, how much do i have to stress this, enemies to lovers, they’ve got to raise hell in each other’s lives, enemies to lovers is not about sitting around a campfire and singing kumbaya, enemies to lovers means i’m covered in blood, and if you’re not careful, it’s soon be yours
and rivals to lovers is, you’re covered in blood, but since you’re here, i’ll help you clean it up, but if you get blood on my carpet, you better run
IF THERE WAS EVER A TIME TO SLOW BURN, IT’S RIVALS OR TO LOVERS. IT’S ALL!!!!! ABOUT!!!!! THE YEArning!!!!!! THESE ASSHOLES ARE FILLED WITH TOO MUCH PRIDE TO ADMIT THEY’RE IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!!

jin guangyao with his decades worth of meticulous information gathering, eidetic memory, expert plotting abilities, assasination skills, title, and small private army: i am untouchable. I have peaked and I will never be brought to heel
nie huaisang with like two braincells, the aura of a small animal, the ability to cry pretty, feral intent, and a knife: yeah ok, headass bitch
look I know this looks like shit but I saw this tiktok and just. had to Jin Sibs it.
Mo Xuanyu loves this shit because he’s a gremlin who thrives off causing chaos.
Qin Su is in the weird position of being the JGS Bastard Elephant In The Room that the wider Jin family don’t really want to acknowledge, but also don’t want to upset in case she causes any more scandal, so for her, Jin family gatherings are low risk, high entertainment value.
Jin Zixuan struggles, because he was brought up to respect and care about the opinions of these people… but he also knows they’re awful… but he also hates drama and rocking the boat… but he also hates seeing his siblings treated shittily… mostly he is on Interrupt In A Loud And Timely Manner If People Are Being Assholes To Meng Yao duty
Meng Yao objectively has the worst time because he has basically designated himself the person who runs Interference for the siblings at gatherings, and he also really fucking hates confrontation, so does his best to keep the peace no matter how awful their relatives are to him… up until a point, when he’s exhausted enough not to give a shit anymore, and he retreats to a bathroom with a bottle of wine in each hand and his boyfriends on speed dial, and tells Xuanyu to do his worst.
