Not "humans are inherently good" or "humans are inherently evil" but a secret third thing (humans are inherently social animals which means that we're very good at cooperating and being compassionate towards those we perceive as being part of our community but we're also very good at being tribal and violent towards those we perceive as threats to our community and everyone defines their community differently)

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

As much as I do not want Nesta to VERY SUDDENLY BE PREGNANT (I swear to god SJM keep your pregnancy kink away from my girl), why is every imagined "Nessian has girls" art or fanfic centered around Cassian? Why is Nesta just like womb that brings something to make Cassian look doting and adoring and a girl dad? Why is there no focus on Nesta's thoughts around children? Her fear, her hope, her desires? What it would do to her mind, her body? What she would feel? Why is there no focus on Nesta feeling so much love for her child, mourning her own inner child and what her mother did to her, and not understanding why her parents never loved her enough to protect her? Why is there no space for Nesta to love and dote on her daughter, being more protective than any idiot fae male has ever dreamed of being? It feels like misogyny somehow, twisted and terrible, she's still, yet again, only a vessel for Cassian to use, even in the mind of the fandom. Another box she helps him check to keep up with Rhysand.

Idk. I just think maybe Nesta bringing girls into the world would be a huge thing for her in every possible manner, and the focus should be on her.

i don’t think i’ll ever recover, i actually just might kill myself

[vicki27]

acotar fandom really is just full of normal people because someone in the subreddit today said tamsand would be the most popular ship in literally any other fandom and ykw... they're right. 10000% correct.

[vicki27]

HES SO HOT FOR THIS. ANYONE WHO SAYS TAMLIN IS BORING ISNT PAYING ATTENTION

HE SPAT IN HER FACE. The rizz! The audacity! Everyone is doing whatever the fuck she says but he spits in her face????

No wonder she wants him so badly. It's the chase.

“nesta shouldn’t have— “ I DONT CARE

[vicki27]

Oh my fucking god can we please not. Like, truly. Shit talking characters is one thing, but genuinely diminishing actors and their performances just because you have a bias is petty and frankly childish. These are real people who've done nothing but excel at their jobs (especially considering the bullshit content they were given to work with), and yet this feud between fictional factions affects your judgement enough that you're compelled to try and crucify them for nothing at all. You can be critical of and dislike them, but actively dragging people online only encourages the harassment they already go through daily. Let's maybe try to be decent people sometimes

[vicki27]

i’m so serious when i say nalu is the goofiest ship in fairy tail and also the one that makes me lose my mind the most. like look at them. look at these screenshots. they are so chronically unserious it’s actually romantic. why are they always matching each other’s chaotic energy??? like they weren’t just meant for each other, they were engineered in a lab to be the two most ridiculous people in the guild and then fall in love about it. the synchronized screaming. the dramatic hand-holding like someone just proposed. the way natsu sparkles while lucy looks five seconds away from homicide. they are so stupid. they are SO STUPID. and yet so in sync it makes my brain short-circuit.

they’re soulmates in the most obnoxious way possible. not in a soft “we complete each other” kind of way but in a “we got kicked out of a restaurant for sword fighting with breadsticks” way. and they’d be laughing the whole time. they match each other’s every step, every tone, every over-the-top facial expression like they’re one shared creature split into two hot idiots. i love them so much it physically pains me. like this isn’t even about romance anymore. this is about divine comedy. this is about two people being so chaotic together that the universe just gave up and said “fine. fine. you win. be together forever.” and they will. they will be so annoying and dramatic and in love until the end of time. and i’ll be right there cheering them on

[vicki27]

ALL OF THIS. Couldn't say it better.

I think that people think that is romantic when characters do whatever to "be together" without thinking the consequences that will have in everyone around of them.

This to me is the Romeo&Juliet problem again, but 100x times worse.

Elia was brutally raped and killed; her two children, babies, were killed brutally without any compasion because Rhaegar's and Lyanna's "love".

And look, I'm gonna be honest, I'm NOT a Lyanna stan, but even if she left willingly she was a 14 year old child, and died in childbirth away of her family.

So at best Rhaegar filled her head with whatever nonsense, grooming her, taking her away of her home and family, impregnating her and isolating her in a tower.

At worst, he fully kidnapped her and abused her.

My opinion leans more towards the first option; maybe a mix between the two in that Lyanna was willing at first but wanted to go back and he didn't let her.

He fucked over (directly or not) at the very least: the life of his wife, their children, his mother, his younger siblings, his captive/lover and her father and brother, the knights that he took with him in whatever this idiocy was, his father and himself (to the last two I say Good Ridance)

What Rhaegar did was not done for love; at the very best he was too blinded by whatever prophecy about "The Prince Who Was Promised" that he screwed everyone up not just humilliating his wife in an horrible way but also causing her and two innocent angel's horrifying end.

This whole thing is NOT A LOVE STORY. This is a TRAGEDY. A story that caused a lot of deaths, including Rhaegar's two innocent children and left deep scars and trauma to everybody who survived the Rebellion, specially the people close to Elia, Rhaegar or Lyanna.

In conclusion: Elia, Rhaenys and Aegon deserved so much better. Lyanna also deserved better.

Fuck Rhaegar. Hope he and his dad rot in hell.

*logs back in after hiatus*

*sees that people on this site still can’t be normal towards Elia of Dorne*

When will the Rhaegar stans leave Elia aloneeeeeee. Also extra points to the Lyanna fans constantly insecure over Elia of Dorne.

[vicki27]

the theon greyjoy stan to aegon ii targaryen stan pipeline is real. Millions suffer every year.

[vicki27]

Unfriendly reminder that the last time Jaehaerys was mentioned in this show was in the "previously on house of the dragon" segment of episode 4, which is supposed to recap the most important events of episodes 1-3. In that, it shows Daemon's vision of a young Rhaenyra in Harrenhall being like "see how this child's death makes me look bad and now I have to clean up after your mess".

BECAUSE SOMEHOW THE SHOWRUNNERS REALLY THOUGHT THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF JAEHAERYS'S DEATH IS HOW BAD IT MADE RHAENYRA LOOK.

Not the pain that Helaena felt, having to sentence her son to death. Not the rage Aegon felt at being king and yet being powerless to stop the murder of his son. Not the fact that A SIX YEAR OLD BOY DIED!! Noooooo ofc the most important part of Blood and Cheese is how it impacts Rhaenyra and Daemon's character arcs.

Because the reality is Jaehaerys was innocent; a six year old boy who loved to read and play with his dragon Shrykos and has six fingers on one hand. A child who loved bedtime stories with his grandmother and wanted pony rides. He was named after the Conciliator, the king who lived the longest, and yet his own life was cut short.

And then Rhaenyra has the audacity to demand a son for a son. AND ALICENT DOESN'T BRING UP JAEHAERYS!!!! It's honestly disgusting how the showrunners dehumanize Jaehaerys at every turn, erasing all memory of him so their audience can cheer for Rhaenyra in peace.

RIP Jaehaerys. You deserved better :(

I want tamlin and Nesta to start a therapy group and just work through the copious amount of gaslighting they’ve faced by Rhysand, Ferye, and the his merry band of idiots.
