URGENT HELP🚨🚨🚨🍉🇵🇸

Hello,

How do you do ? I hope to be in a good condition.

This is my special campaign

We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.

Every donation makes a different even if it a small.

As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.

There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.

Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .

We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.

'No Longer You' is such a good song and in this essay, I will Ok, but jokes aside, there's so many things I could pick apart about it. Like, the whole self-fulfilling prophecy?? Ody, dude, the 'man who is haunting' is you, we just can't tell you that for the plot. Literally. However, I also find it really interesting due to the chorus at the end. Cus like yes, we now know it's "Siren song, scylla throat, mutiny, lightning bolt, and poseidon! kill all the suitors for love", but when we were first listening to the song, we had no f-ing clue what they were saying. For all we knew at the time, it was random gibberish or just some nifty vocalizations. But now looking in hindsight, it seems a lot more obvious. And I think it's rather poetic, because isn't that the exact same thing that happens in all self-fulfilling prophecies? They were spelling out what the future was going to be like for Ody. Ody clearly is that man who is haunting. We just can't see it now.

Ming Fan did not consider himself to be a main character.

Let's be honest here, he was second in his family and overshadowed by both his older and younger siblings. He wouldn't inherit the family business, he wouldn't go and become the next influential scholar in the Capital. People could barely recognize him. It was, in short, a miracle he even got into Cang Qiong, much less Qing Jing Peak.

Which was the second peak.

He's not complaining. Ming Fan loves it much better than home, and for once, he's first in something. As the most senior of them all, he basically was in charge. He can control things now.

Except, as time goes on, he can't.

His Shizun changes completely from a qi deviation that he should've been able to prevent earlier. How, he has no idea, but surely there could've been something.

His youngest shidi outshines everyone and eventually becomes the reason for his Shizun's death before having the audacity to marry him.

All of a sudden, he sees everyone around him less and less as more paperwork is shoved to him on top of all his classes. Eventually, he basically becomes an unofficial peak lord before ascending to become the peak lord.

All because Ning Yingying didn't want to.

Was it out of pity? Was it out of boredom? Was it out of fear of what the title peak lord truly meant?

Ming Fan has officially become the very top of Qing Jing Peak. And it's lonely.

Ming Fan knew himself to be many things, but out of all things, he still considers himself a side character in his own life. He looks around at the house he inherits and spots a congratulatory bouquet before laughing. He's basically the baby's breath of bouquets.

It takes a few years to get used to being called Peak Lord instead of just Da-Shixiong. It takes a few years before he starts accepting disciples, it takes a few years before he fully embraces the role, and it's a few years before he meets Gongyi Xiao again.

The man's beautiful as always, and for some reason, Ming Fan still looks up to him as the person he ought to be. Strange how Gongyi Xiao thinks the exact same thing to Ming Fan.

They end up becoming accidental pen pals after a diplomacy meeting. One after another after another, before an entire shelf is dedicated to just Gongyi Xiao's letters.

Ming Fan, somehow, is in love. And he is torn apart when he is constantly reminded of the Little Palace Mistress always following behind Gongyi Xiao.

In any case, it takes a few years before Ming Fan finally messes up and confesses. He waits for a rejection only for arms to encircle his being and comfort his soul. Gongyi Xiao looks at him and he looks back, seeing themselves in the other's eyes.

It takes a few years before Ming Fan realizes that although he may be the baby's breath of bouquets, he is still beautiful when you look closely. All it takes is the right person and the right time. He may be second in many things, but in Gongyi Xiao's heart?

There is no other competition.

I think it's really interesting how pride is shown throughout Epic. Like with the conflict between ruthlessness and mercy, the idea of pride itself is also fought over within the musical. While it allows for the men to fight through the war (as seen in The Horse and the Infant) by showcasing how they aren't going to die laying down. Pride, in a sense, gives people the will to fight and in some cases, the self-dignity to stand up for what they believe in, it also provides the question of when is pride too much? For example, I feel like I can argue that the reason for Odysseus basically DOXING himself was due to his pride being wounded. Even though the cyclops would've had to think about that day regardless or not he knew Odysseus's real name, Ody still yelled out their name. Why? Because his pride was wounded for losing his men. This was an act of vengeance, the "aha, I have bested you" kind of moment. And Ody wanted the cyclops to know that. It could also be seen as an act of rebellion against Athena, because while Ody is still believing in mercy whenever possible, I kinda don't think Polites meant to spill out all your personal information like that. In either case, Ody is letting his pride take over his rational functions. Again, pride is mentioned in Thunderbringer, pretty obviously too. I mean, "Pride is a damsel in distress" is a pretty banger opener. As useful or hurtful pride can be, it's an impermanent thing. After all, pride can be stripped down once you "apply all the pressure". Additionally, when Zeus asks Ody to choose, it's pretty obvious that Zeus, Ody, and even us the listeners know who Ody is going to choose. Why? Because Ody has said it time and time again: the reason for his fighting, the reason he continues to draw on his well of pride, the reason he is still standing is solely from the desire to see his son and wife again. Yet that pride that keeps him going is also being stripped away as Zeus talks to him like a misbehaving child. Unlike in the Trojan War, in front of Zeus, pride is nothing. I might just be rambling, but I find it fascinating how many nuances there are in Epic. Can pride be a good thing? When can it be a good thing? And how much pride does it take to cause your downfall? If you're still reading this, thanks so much lol. 11 more days until the Wisdom Saga!!
