One of the things that is so dear to my heart about Rhaenyra is how feminine she was. She loved her dresses and her jewelries, her gifts from Daemon, him reading poems to her... She was such a romantic personality that loved life and flying and laughing and smiling.
The fact that she was "cherished and adored by everyone", "well loved by highborns and commons alike", always surrounded by her admirers, the fact that men who fought for her hand in marriage still remembered and raised their banners for her. She was loved and I wish more people would see that before calling her a tyrant or a monster.
Even at the time of her death, she was still called and remembered as The Realm's Delight.
Also, the fact that she was universally loved and adored because of her enchanting personality, but somehow for her haters Daemon "only tolerated her for the throne"? The way this fandom speaks about Rhaenyra is so weird and disgusting.

Another thing that haunts me about this entire thing is that Amanda wasn’t just funny like her coworkers, or funny like other Disney and Nickelodeon actresses. Amanda Bynes was funny like Carol Burnett. Funny like Lucille Ball. She was effervescent and classic. Her comedic sensibilities were deeply intelligent. She had *it*. And she should have grown into one of the best actresses of our generation. But *something* happened and derailed it all. Even if she’s not the same, I truly hope she’s well and happy. I want nothing but the best for her, even if it’s a quiet and private life. I adored her back then and always will.

These two have big “no one’s allowed to kill her except me” energy and I think they should kiss about it
(i think they also deserve a nice break)

I have a gripe about the Star Trek mugs...
Picard's teacup is a delicate, fragile little thing held by a strip of plastic and a dream. That thin glass will break if you look at it sideways. And where do they put that ridiculous tiny cup? On the Enterprise, which is always being dragged into conflict
The DS9 raktajino mugs are hefty, wide-based things that are meant to not tip over. They're called no-spill mugs. They have a foam piece on the bottom so they don't slip. They're incredibly sturdy – meant for ships and traveling! Where do they put them? At the station, which is arguably the most stable place they could be cause DS9 rarely gets knocked about.
Far as I'm concerned, Janeway's the only one doing practical space mugs correctly. Come on, a metal travel mug that's as strong as her coffee is black? Takes a beating through 70,000 light years of bridge shakes fighting off the Borg and the Hirogen and still holds a hot drink? Now that's a space mug
