💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You

Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,

When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.

From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.

💔 A Journey of Loss, but Also of Strength

As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.

But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.

“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.

“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.

🌿 What Life Looks Like for Us Now

Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.

But things have only gotten harder.

The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.

We’re trapped.

🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨‍👩‍👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.

And yet…

Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.

Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.

💖 What You Can Do

If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.

Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.

My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I am a survivor of the war in Gaza. Life as I knew it has been completely destroyed. I have lost my home, my

✨ Why It All Matters

This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.

🙏 From the Heart: A Quiet Apology

There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.

When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.

If that happened, I am truly sorry.

Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.

I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.

If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.

With love and endless gratitude, Mosab and family ♥️

maybe this is just me idk

I HATE TBHK LMAO

I'm destroyed and I hate everything wtf

Aoi hugging Nene in both timelines, some things never change.

The first to protect her and the second to make her snap out of her possessed state.

Aoi hugging Nene even after seeing possessed Nene murder everyone and getting stabbed herself WAGWAHWFDG.

She didn't try to run away or defend herself but hugged her and ended up collapsing due to blood loss :((( In the other timeline,Aoi fought Amane but I guess she didn't want to hurt Nene.

cough cough..and aoi never did let go of nene until she died..

T.T

that one art.......💔💔💔💔💔

Rating Aidairo AUs based ONLY on how much I like the terukaneaoi potential in them.

High School of Magic.

rating: 7.5/10

Aoi secret identity as a witch give this au a lot of potential! We know witches can make love spells, and that doing a potion wrong messes with what the spell should do, so the vibe can change drastically everyday depending on what spell Aoi is learning, be it a truth potions or dangerous sleep enchantments.

Aoi and Akane are childhood friends and Aoi have a crush on Akane, something Nene is aware of. The Aois seem very close to each other but Akane is unaware of Aoi's witch identity, so there can be a lot of mental comflict for Aoi. Maybe a part of her want to open up about her big secret, maybe she want Akane to be far away from magic and goes the extra mile to hide (does she needs glasses? Or is it a disguise?). Regardless I eat up 'secret identity' plots.

I am not sure if they are neighbors but i'll assume they are since they are childhood friends. It gotta be hard to hide magic from your neighbor/friend.

Teru works on a fast food joint and seem to enjoy making the costumers happy, sticking by their side when they eat. The burgers he serves are high calory so I can't imagine Aoi or Akane going there too much, but I can imagine something going wrong with a spell and making Teru get closer to them.

Maybe Teru learn about Aoi's secret identity on accident, forcing Aoi to be stuck with Teru and go "please don't tell anyone Minamoto" while Nene brews a potion that will erase his memories. They can bond while the potion is brewing.

Teru is so carefree here I feel like he would follow Aoi once or twice, and since he isn't a fighter, he would cause more trouble than solve it. Maybe another love spell goes wrong and Akane falls in love with Teru, or Teru falls for Aoi, and it's all a mess.

Whenever Akane and Aoi go to Teru's burger place, Teru will just sit down with them. Uninvited. They get used to him over time.

Very fun and solid au! Magic can make every scenario possible, but the au still loses points for Teru's life being so removed from the Aois + there isn't that much info on Akane.

Hanako Of The Opera.

rating 5/10

The trio work in the same place, so there is a lot of interaction potential! There is also a power dynamic with Teru being the boss who directly order Akane and decides how many shows Aoi will do.

Akane never refers to Aoi as a friend and the ballerina make no comments on her relationship with Akane, so I don't think he is Aoi's childhood friend here. He likely use his power as the assistent manager to give her more 'time to shine' when she would much prefer to stay out of the spotlight and hear the singers: He must be the person Aoi hate the most in the opera house.

Despite arriving together, we do not know what Akane and Teru's relationship are. We don't even know if Teru sought Akane or if Akane begged him to work so he could be close to Aoi, all we know is that Aoi is why he accepted the job and that he doesn't dissobey Teru. Which gives a lot of space for Teru to tease him and make up tasks for Akane.

Teru is well liked by the people and seem to like being part of the preparations, so he must be able to use his power to have alone time with Aoi, but he hasn't shown any interest in Aoi, and neither have Aoi on him, they would speak strictly of work.

The aesthetic of the opera is nice, and there is a lot of potential for drama and character growth, which I always appreciate, but they are also very limited: they need to be in the opera house to interact and unless I start adding headcanons with no basis on the stablished au (like Aoi searching for the phantom of the opera, Teru not being fully human, Akane being poisoned, and so on), they don't have a very interesting dynamic.

Phantom Thieves.

Rating: 6.5/10

I adore the idea of Teru as the chief of the police, with a ton of power (and weapons) on his hands, and Akane being a prideful thief that feels like the entire town is his territory (hence his dislike for hanako). Both being on oposite sides instead of coworkers is amazing! We don't get any art of the two interacting but their roles and designs are more than enough to make the brain itch.

Does Akane have a civilian identity too? Does he survives purely on theft? His clothes look fancy is he rich or just that good at stealing? Does Teru have a whip to avoid killing his targets or is he purely sadistic?

There is a lot to think about, lots of fun ideas in the air! And I like that their outfits all match, trio in white let's gooo!! Unfortunetely this AU loses a million points for giving me basically nothing on Aoi: She is a waitress that Akane finds really cute and is trying to 'buy', that's all we know, I can't even tell if her workplace is a popular spot or a fancy place.

Maybe Akane steal something from her after another unsucessful attempt to buy her, considering anything that belongs to Aoi valuable enough to take, so Aoi would seek Teru and ask him over a nice cup of coffee if he can get her stolen goods back. Teru may find her and her workplace pleasant, visiting more on the few time he has a break to chat with her, or Teru would notice the phantom thief is interested in her so he'll convince Aoi to come with him and be a bait to catch Akane and lock him in prison.

I can see them interacting, and I find this au one of the most fun (They are all so different, working on completely diferent areas, making them interact and grow close would be a blast!) but it sucks that the boys have so much going on while Aoi have nothing. She would be more of a tool than a proper part of this relationship.

Bakeneko Hot Springs

Rating: 8.5/10

Akane works with Teru in a detective agency, he is just part of the staff, not a direct subordinate, he also doesn't seem super dedicated to his job, leaving Teru to wrap everything up alone during their day off. Look at the books scattered everywhere! He'll deal with it alone!

Teru does not seem to have the power to force Akane do to what he wants despite Akane calling him 'chief', so I'm sure Teru solves most cases alone.

Aoi used to have a mysterious job where she was not treated well and her diary was vandalized in it, so she did as they wanted and went away, hunting for a new job. (unrelated but her reading glasses is cute)

Considering Akane never mentions that, she hid that she was bullied from her childhood friend. She doesn't seem to have any friend besides Akane since her interests/personality seems very similar to canon (she like cats and plants/hid her struggles from her friend) and Nene is a cat in this au.

Her diary is in Teru's office, and he reffers to it as 'a case', which further makes me belive Akane is not his partner at work (he would have recognized her handwriting right away) so Teru will eventually be lead to her. Either he'll go alone through the intire case and bond with Aoi or Akane will realize it involves Aoi and they'll go to their first case as a propper team. Teru may even promote him to a permanent possition after a good report.

Now back to the hotsprings!

Teru tags along with Kou to the hot spring but seems to dislike the place, tempted to leave a one star review. So his vacation day is not going well.

Akane brought a wedding ring that he spent a year worth of salary on it and lost it. Teru found this ring and gave it to a stranger. So his dream trip is not going well.

Unfortunetely Aoi doesn't know the hot springs she is interested in working for is cursed. She won't find anything. Her job hunt won't go well.

Everyone is in a bad place, and there is a big chance of it getting worse: Anyone in the trio have a chance of turning into a cat.

There is also the potential of Akane, or Aoi, or Teru, turning into a cat and needing to ask for help. So I can see Teru talking about the wedding ring he gave to someone and making akane flip out, or making aoi go 'oh, that's why akane was so stressed and nervous' and I can also see Teru having a bad time at this in but reluntantly liking to be spoiled as a cat, or going 'hum' about watching Akane flip out about a ring... Akane being very happy yet comflicted when Aoi is super sweet with his cat form, and so on... there are so many posibilities...

In short! This one have a lot of potential, I love how intertwined they are, and the bonus of either of the three becoming a cat is SO GOOD.

When Tsukasa sang with Nene

It's one of my favorite Tsukasa's moments. AidaIro showed his artistic and delicate, emotional side. "Over the rainbow" is a song about hope in painful or distressing circumstances. I think the lyrics are also a reference to what he wants deep inside.

Something he longs for, maybe something ideal for him, a hope he has for better circumstances. Which also means he's in a situation he can't escape (Being the person's he loves the most and thinks that hates him, yorishiro. Being Amane's yorishiro). A situation that makes him feel hurt, a situation that he's struggling with and he wants to break free from it.

But then Nene joins in and they sing along!!! He's looking upward and ahead with a soft gaze, with a gentle smile. He also shows more of his deepest feelings in his face, the sadness but also the good memories from when he was alive, he was reminiscing about the past.

And at the same time it's a face of hope, a face of someone soon to be in a better situation, a face of someone about to be free from the chains someone else put on him. To me, it was his personal farewell before he disappears. Before Nene destroys him. His face shows it all.

I think it's one of the very few times that Tsukasa let himself to feel, he let his feelings show: Pain, hope, nostalgia and enjoyment. He was genuinely having fun singing along with Nene, he opened up a bit, he was so comfortable to express himself and Nene also got relaxed to sing along with him.

They shared something they really liked in common, that is, to sing and they did it together. It was a personal, meaningful moment between them in which he showed his innermost emotions through his facial expression, through the lyrics of the song, through his behaviour. That was unexpected and enchanting.

And I link this hope to this scene. Apart from granting Amane's wish, to bring happiness to him, to bring better circumstances for him with his ultimate sacrifice, there's his hope to disappear, to finally be free from his painful situation.

It's something really sad, his hope for himself in his current circumstances in the original timeline. He longs to be free even if it means to disappear.

He has his childish, carefree side but he also has his emotional, deep side which he almost never shows and because of that, some people tend to overlook it. I would love to learn more about his inner emotional world. We'll probably see more of it from when he was alive.

Nene loves true crime podcasts.

I don’t make the rules
