im not even trynna be funny i think its true and probably why ibrahim was so over the moon. Prolly also explained why suleyman killed him, yaoi is always doomed
I KNOW THIS SI HISTORIC FICTION BUT AT THE SAME TIME I KINDA FEEL FUSTRATED THAT THEY COMPLETELY BUTCHERED GENUINE PERSONALITIES JSUT FOR THE SAKE OF TV AND IT HURTS EVEN MORE WHEN U GO ON TIKTOK AND SEE SOME BS POST REINVENTING HISTORY TO SHOW HOW GREAT HURREM AND KOSEM WERE.. not saying they weren't BUT ITS GENUINE MISINFORMATION MOST OF THE TIME. i literally hate the fact that most people take this show as genuine history and you cannot have conversations with them at all cz they shove down ur throat taht Hurrem was somehow the most powerful one etc. Kosem enthusiasts i support tho
Firstly, Season 1 was purely fabricated. Kosem literally had no say at all at any of the events that took place. Let me clarify, im not denying that Kosem was the most powerful, just stating that Her haseki era literally didnt entail any sort of power that they displayed. Though her Valide era was potrayed nicely imo
secondly and this hurts me the most, THEY LITERALLY BUTCHERED HANDAN AND HALIME.. I genuinely thought of them to be really pathetic but you read and then realize that their Era literally had more documented story than MC did in general.... Handan has documented fondness for Mustafa and its the fact that she was the main driving force that lead Safiye to the old palace and ended the tradition of fatricide.. they didnt add the fact that Handan was sent by Nurbanu's daughter to undermine Safiye, an actual case of a princess using a concubine to get the sultan's support, while they made up a story about how Mihrimah send Safiye to Murad
Halime also, she was a genuine powerhouse. She was the second richest woman in Mehmed''s reign after Safiye. And it is to be emphasized that she managed to keep Mustafa alive 2 times even after such a tumultous period of his back to back enthroning, she definetly had too much influence that she managed to not get him executed despite his existence being a direct threat to the empire's stability and it was proven correct aswell. Also people love saying how safiye and kosem both saw so many sultan, yet halime also lived through the reign of 7 sultans herself.
Also yes Safiye was the most evil ho i think she needs to be appreciated but they made her look like such a loser, even tho she wasnt 90% of the time.
they made kosem look like such a one dimensional charcater in season1 about how she was the only good and smart one, while the others were made like stupid villains.
BUT MY ISSUE STILL STANDS.. Haseki KOSEM LITERALLY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THEM.. HER REIGN STARTED WHEN SHE WAS VALIDE
Another thing which pisses me off is that Nurbanu-Safiye-Handan-Halime period has so many documented cases of genuine women political powess and powerstruggles... but they didnt give us a series on this. they ofc made a rushed up Kosem series in which both of the seasons was done so half heartedly, and MC which was like 80% just ass pulls. I know its not that deep but When i read about these women i couldnt help but become a number 1 glazer. Especially handan and halime, they're literally called the most powerless but really are they? i dont want to argue with Hurrem tans but i hate the bs they say that Hurrem was most powerful even tho she didnt do half the shit Halime and Handan had done. everything hurrem allegedly did gets magnified while these women rose to such great feats even when the sultan wasnt supportive of them
lowkey if i become a billionare ill make a series about these 4 cz they deserve it.
