Hatice and Ibrahim have never been more divided from each other up to that point than in E43-E44. While Hatice always sensed when Ibrahim was actually in danger or she's lost him in any way (i.e. E35 when she felt something in Edirne while Ibrahim was with Nigar), nothing came up when he was shot; he didn't even tell her what happened to him until she found out herself; they were seperated while he was recovering; the wait for Ibrahim to come back felt like an eternity to Hatice and she went through several breakdowns at once (and his carriage was right in front of her but she couldn't see him, her only thought until the very end was that he was dead, isn't that what her dream with the "crying" statues meant?); when he came back she wasn't allowed to spend at least some time alone with him as SS wanted to talk to him; even their sleep was interrupted. The only thing that Ibrahim asked Hatice to do was to play him his mother's song on the violin (I like to think that Hatice started learning the violin in order to become closer to him, to who he is, to his past again after what they went through with little Mehmet).... but he no longer associates even that with Hatice anymore.

#not even gonna mention Ibrahim being gone while Hatice was giving birth in the end of E44 #as that is the culmination of all the separations that accumulated throughout E43 and 44 #and I already pondered a little on what it meant in my “Ibratice and the losses of a child” meta #oh funny story this was supposed to be a post about Hatice saying they're bringing Ibrahim's corpse when the carriage appeared #as that is likeeeee oh my godddd the *FORESHADOWING*; she was even shrouded in green again too!!!! (lighter green but still!!!!)#but then I saw that this was just the Bulgarian dub again and the English subtitles translate it as something else entirely #which didn't seem like what Hatice actually said either but since I can't make out some of the OG words at all and there aren't #English subtitles under the Turkish videos of E44 I decided not to risk it #anyway goodness how much did Yakup's prophecy terrify Hatice #she really can't see anything *but* death at this point and how *won't* she when all her feelings always turn out to be correct?#(except the statues of course but due to the rest of the bad events they can't do anything *other* than feed Hatice's fear)#this is why Hatice fearing so much about Ibrahim's life isn't merely a matter of obsession but I digress #thing is Ibrahim was *actually* ready to *die* for once wanting his mother to *take him* in that dream #(parallel to Hürrem's E01 dream of course)#as he's lost the rest of his past (that's in the present) already; he's really been defeated hasn't he?#the only person left is his mother he barely finds as he's already lost her long ago both metaphorically and literally #but he finds her and he symbolically finds her in Nigar; this is what “home” means to him now and his look at Nigar after he woke up #is what made him realize it; Hatice is too far behind; close yet so out of reach while Nigar only seems closer and closer #so he goes after her to chase that “home” he got lost in but “home” isn't what he once knew anymore #(Nigar's tear falling on Ibrahim's cheek *is* an artistic device signifying love tbf)#magnificent century #muhteşem yüzyıl #muhtesem yuzyil #hatice sultan #ibrahim pasha #ibratice #hatibo #(also in the tags)#nigar kalfa
