Not my nomination, but the Final Fantasy XIV tag 'keeping up with the Galvii' must be referencing the Garlean Civil War - Solus zos Galvus was the emperor and died without naming an heir (for the purpose of causing civil unrest), leading to a long war of succession between his surviving children, grandchildren, and close friends, almost all of which takes place offscreen. Several members of the family were also possessed during this period, and both on and offscreen intra-Galvii murders take place. It's... messy. I'm not entirely sure what wording would better encapsulate the whole affair since it's both politics and interpersonal issues, but I do definitely understand the tag as written and have heard multiple people make the same joke in the past!
