Help me lure them in!

I'm writing a post for my slasher friends about Why Guardian Could Be Your Next Fandom. *rubs hands evilly* I could use some help!

First, I need some visuals--finding or making my own will take forever:

1. A gif of the episode 2 wound-healing scene

2. An image of the whole team putting their hands together, or of everyone present for a holiday meal. Something to illustrate the concept "Found Family".

3. (Separate) images of Kun Lun and BB!Shen Wei taken from the first few episodes.

Then, some decisions about spoilers:

A. Does the fact that Zhu Yilong plays a double (or triple?) role count as a spoiler? Does the existence of Shen Wei's twin brother count as a spoiler?

B. I don't want to spoil the ending, but I DO want to warn people that they'll want to fix it, and that tears may be involved. RL is too tense these days to sucker my friends into something that will make them cry if they're not emotionally prepared for it. How do I do this?

Help, please!

The way [personal profile] phyrry prepared me for it was to say that the drama ending was sad but the novel ending was happy and that we have plenty of room for fix-its (we met each other through the Star Wars prequels where everything goes down in literal flames and fandom lives in fix-its).

She also pointed me to [personal profile] rheasilvia's intro post, which was helpful but spoilery about Shen Wei being BCE (the show hints pretty strongly at this in the first two episodes, anyway, when Shen Wei let himself get pushed off the roof and then BCE appears; then later he's healing the scars on his shoulder that he got from the shadow man. And as qwerty said earlier, the intro credits with the theme song is pretty revealing too).
