Could someone please recommend some good tragic Rhaenicent fics? I’m open to any length, and they don’t even need to be endgame—I just want something tragic, painful, and gut-wrenching. I’d even accept fics that aren’t explicitly romantic, as long as they love each other more than they should and their relationship is colored by their envy, hate, and everything in between.
For example, an AU where Rhaenyra survives, but all her children are dead, so she visits Alicent in her tower—not just to torment her, savoring her slow descent into madness, but also because she craves her company. She still loves this woman in front of her, even as she hates her for everything she is and has done.
Do you get what I mean? I want it to hurt, I want it to bleed, and I want madness—whether it’s mine or theirs, it doesn’t matter.
Arcane fandom right now:

my lovely omega, han maru <3
!!!Spoilers for Arcane s2 act III
I am in shambles, completely undone. The creators love giving us all we want only to destroy it in the next 5 seconds.
It feels so unfinished. Not due to any fault of the writers but because I still can't comprehend it. I really waited for a scene ala Marvel after the credits where at least one of the 3 YOU KNOW WHOs showed up Delulu is on max bc I still believe that we will get Jinx and Lux going on an adventure with Viktor's robot and Yasuo. (Yes, I know it isn't game cannon)
Do better.
Here’s the truth: every right and freedom you have today exists because people before you got involved in politics and fought for them.
They went up against unfair systems that didn’t, and still don’t, want us to have rights.
Rights are fought for, not given.
When you say, “I’m not political,” you’re showing you don’t understand where your freedoms come from.
You’re also showing that you're fine enjoying the benefits of activism without helping out.
It is time to step up.
Let’s do better together. <3

It is very telling that they decided to end the show with "I am the dirt under your nails".
vi got colonised tbh. it gives me that feeling when a rich white old man gets with a young SEA lady, brings her to britain and she only gets to see her family through facetime, and that's also the only time she speaks her native language because her man refuses to learn it
cait basically erased vi's identity as a zaunite. she loved vi in spite of that, instead of as a part of her. like how she told vi that she's not like the other zaunites, and saying 'i thought you were one of us' fully expecting her to step away from her people.
vi's been assimilated into piltover, even going against her own ideals by becoming part of the people (enforcers) who killed her parents, who were responsible for executing the systematic oppression of zaun. yet caitlyn's never assimilated into zaun, never even stepping foot into zaun beyond the first caitvi meeting and later when she was gassing the citizens. the show ended with vi living with caitlyn in the top 1% of piltover; no mutual exchange of culture. caitlyn never had to change her mind about zaun the way vi changed her mind about piltover, and remained oblivious to her own privilege and her family's legacy on zaun.
it's just that the sacrifices vi has made for cait, on her identity and on a moral level, has been completely one-sided. this, the imbalanced power dynamic and caitlyn's subtle prejudice against zaun (*) have never been acknowledged in the show. so for them to get back together and have their happy ending without some sort of introspective reflection feels. very uncomfortable. feels like cognitive dissonance.
(*) i say subtle because other than the warcrimes moment, cait often voices her opposition to extreme measures against zaun. however, she supports 'no extreme measures' and 'they are people too' as normative ideas, not really having the ability to recognise the violation of these ideas when it's in front of her and especially not when she's the one violating them. there's constantly an undercurrent of subconscious prejudice in her attitude towards zaunites, and just, a real lack of understanding
I gotta let this out
So, I started watching Switched at birth recently, and I LOVED Bammett from the very beginning! I think they look kinda cute together, but...
I'm currently on episode 20 and, after all I saw, I don't think I like this so loved by the fandom ship.
I mean, he kissed Daphne, he got mad at Bay because she loved Ty when they were together (???), then he asked her to show him her private emails with Ty, then the jealousy when he found out Ty knew about her street art, also when he blame her for loosing his motorcycle (she never asked him to paint the billboard, he did it himself), the whole custody situation (which, I gotta say I'm on Bay's side, idc) and now he's sleeping with another girl after he had a fight with Bay about her caring about his safety :)
A lot of red flags in here... And no, I don't know if he changes by the end of the series, but right now I'm pissed because Bay deserves so much more :(
Y'all can just ignore this tho HAJSHS
I’m sorry to burst anyone’s bubble but no one in an active war zone is wasting their time fighting for survival by making dozens of burner accounts to anonymously spam tumblr user’s ask boxes with gofundme links.
I read so many things about the gay context and undertones in The Picture of Dorian Gray... Why were you all lying to me? It is just text plain and simple. I thought Basil was pretty upfront with his feelings for Dorian from the beginning and now I just read pages of him confessing his undying love and devotion to Dorian himself. How is that context, undertones or whatever words people are using to describe this clearly homosexual novel?
The Israeli government yesterday approved a proposal to intensify attacks on Gaza. The military has called up additional reservists.
On Friday morning, the Conscience aid ship was bombed in international waters off the coast of Malta. A fire broke out on board, forcing the crew to issue a distress call.
The attack was reportedly carried out by drones. Israel, which has previously targeted similar vessels, remains silent.
At least 30 Palestinians were killed just yesterday.
In Khan Younis, one family lost eleven members, and another lost four. A baby died in a tent. At Rantisi Hospital in western Gaza, a baby girl, Janan Saleh al-Sakafi, died of hunger and dehydration. She was only a few months old.
Since the start of Israel's total blockade in March, no humanitarian aid has entered the enclave. At least 51 people have died solely from malnutrition.
UNICEF warns that 335,000 children are on the brink of death. Children search for food in the garbage. Yesterday marked the 60th day since the last grain of rice entered Gaza.
Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, wrote on X:
"[They are] scrambling for food as if they were gasping for air, grabbing it from filthy grounds, getting hurt while seeking a hole in the human flesh, amassing for a handful of emptiness? People of Gaza. Palestinians. Your hunger is our shame."
