#Süleyman I

[magnificentlyreused]

This robe is first worn by Sultan Süleyman I in the first episode of the first season of Magnificent Century. It is worn again by Hürrem Sultan in the following episode. The robe appears again on Firuze Hatun in the fourth episode of the third season.

Magnificent Century: Kösem used the robe on Şehzade Mustafa (later Sultan Mustafa I) in the twentieth episode of the first season.

i love how a good number of scenes between hürrem and mahidevran can honest-to-god look like flirting when taken out of context. they're just like suleiman and ibrahim in portrayal sometimes: writers so straight that they were completely blindsided by the homoeroticism of it all

Atike - son of Ekmekçizade Ahmed Pasha 1618-? - Sofu Kenan Pasha ~1624-1652 - Doganci Yusuf Pasha 1652-until her death

Theories:

The daughter born in 1605 March being Gevherhan (and then she was not Mahfiruze's daughter).

Hasan being Mahfiruze's not Bayezid and they both died due to complications.

Zeynep being Mahfiruze's daughter as Osman II possibly had a daughter Zeynep (as there are two Zeyneps buried in Ahmed I's türbe), and since Zeynep is not a dynastical name, Osman may named her after his deceased sister. PS: One of the sarcofagies is for a grown woman, which can be a mistake, or maybe Osman's daugter Zeynep reached adulthood (would be strange as until now there is no evidence for an adult sultana called Zeynep during this period).

Identity of Abide: Now it seems that Abide was not a daughter, but an aunt of Ahmed I and so the daughter of Murad III, see more under Murad III's family tree.

yandere father Sultan Süleyman and yandere mother hurrem sultan with daughter reader

Maybe you are Mehmed's twin sister or older twin sister. You are Mihrimah, Abdullah, Selim, Bayezid or Cihagir's twin sister. Or you are the last born in the family. It makes no difference for Suleyman and Hurrem. Hurrem was talking to you before you were born. Suleyman loved to feel you and talk to you when you were in Hurrem's womb. When they take you in their arms for the first time, their inclination begins. Hurrem was never disappointed by your girl. Suleyman chooses the most perfect name for you. Hurrem never entrusts you to nurses or servants. Hurrem has made it his duty to comb, shape and braid your hair. She has adopted the principle of chatting with you, walking around and spending mother-daughter time with you. Suleyman assigns the best teachers for you. The guards and concubines at your service have been chosen with special care. They both give you a lot of gifts. You will have a great treasure. They panic a lot when you cry, get hurt, or get sick. No one can harm or disrespect you. Both are protective of you. Most likely you will not get married. Even if you get married, you will live in a Palace very close to the Palace. Your wishes are their command. Neither of them likes to share you with others. Hurrem does not want Mahidevran, Valide Hasfa, Şah, Hatice and Fatma Sultans to approach you. Suleyman does not want to be the only hero figure in your life.

Cose Turche 3- Historically Cheesy

"Appeal to the Turk", reporting on diplomacy between Süleyman and Federico II of Mantova, and dwelling on the list of gifts, calls parmesan cheese wheels "immancabili" (inevitable, unmissable, in this case "staple") as a gift to Topkapi.

"Big and beautiful" wheels are also mentioned elsewhere as part of a gift list from the Duke of Ferrara in order to buy horses from the Sultan of Tunis.

This black and golden vest was first worn by Sultan Süleyman I in the eighth episode of the first season of Magnificent Century. It appeared again on Şehzade Mustafa in the nineteenth episode of the fourth season.

The vest was also worn by Sultan Murad IV in the second episode of the second season of Magnificent Century: Kösem.

Did a fun little art collab meme with my good friend @shanicetjn :> Look at our two bois!! I enjoyed this so much, thank you for doing this with me <3 Also I'm glad we got to share our passion for gradients and simple shapes as backgrounds

[hurremsultanns]

The fact that Hürrem has to apologise and practically beg on her hand knees this man who has in the past choked her and made her drink what she believed was poison

[chaos-of-the-abyss]

very interesting how when firuze is seducing suleiman, she displays a lot of the same behaviors that hürrem does when she's with him. both women make declarations of being worthless, of being meaningless without suleiman, of their lives belonging to him, of their sole desire being to please him, and of their sole concern being his love. both women also very much downplay their pasts before they came to the harem, and make a point of announcing that suleiman is their "destiny" in some way: hürrem when she tells him "i came to you from across the sea, i am yours," firuze when she claims that she saw suleiman in her dreams long before they met. of course, hürrem is more sincere in these things while firuze is coming from a place of deliberate calculation, since she's a spy aiming to kill suleiman. i'm not sure if it's accurate to say that she's consciously mimicking hürrem, since there's no way she could observe how hürrem acts in private with suleiman, though it's certainly likely that she paid close attention to the things hürrem said about or to suleiman in her presence. but i do think firuze is good at reading people; that she intuitively grasped the kind of behavior that suleiman would gravitate towards and put on an act accordingly around him. anyway, i find firuze fascinating and it's cool to consider what might have been going through her head all that time.

we're not going to get into how it says absolutely nothing good about suleiman that that behavior is the type of thing he finds attractive in his women, lmfao. suffice to say that if this show was more self-aware and handled better, the narrative would actually address how narcissistic suleiman can be in his romantic relationships as part of his character's "complexity"

More asks you say??? MORE ASKS??? THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT HUH?!? Well, that's exactly what you're gonna get! For Süleyman: 2. How easy is it for them to laugh? and 27. What causes them to feel dread? For Jabal: 38. What memory do they revisit the most often? and for Az: 11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)? WELL I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY NOW CAUSE I WILL BE WHEN YOU ANSWER THESE -runs away sobbing-

This is what it feels like when I get Asks from you, Lina. xD

2. How easy is it for Süleyman to laugh?

Extremely extremely easy! He is a very silly and goofy man. That's probably one of the reasons why he gets along with Asmo so well. :>

27. What causes him to feel dread? 

If he had forgotten to turn off the cooker in his flat kjsdlfajsdf

A more serious answer- If anything were to happen to his sister (Süley's sister is completely oblivious to what he does for a living and he plans to keep it that way) or his boss. He will literally put his life on the line for the both of them.

38. What memory does Jabal revisit the most often? 

Jabal is often extremely frustrated at work (for obvious reasons)...So when that happens, he likes to remember the sentiments he had when he reunited with Az and the emotions he had when he accepted this job.

Really helps when his boss only speaks like caveman now.

11. How does Azrael cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?

If it's during a conversation with people, he would just stay silent and try to figure it out while the other party keeps on talking (which they often do cuz Az doesn't talk...)

But if it's something he stumbled upon in a book or an article or a movie etc., he'll probably just look it up on Google.

These are great questions, Lina! Thank you so much for asking about the Mafia bois ; v ;;

“She’s Hürrem, she can plot from the province too!” - Says you, Mustafa, who has never even tried, to your mother, who has been doing it since she came from Manisa. Fuck, this rewatch is seriously undermining my opinion of Mustafa. I didn’t remember him being this dense!

Yandere Sulaimam (father of sehzade mehmet) with pregnant wife reader?

I made the reader version of it. I think you mean the legal spouse version. I hope I understood your question correctly.

You marry Suleiman when he is in the starboard or when he is new to the throne. Your marriage is set for alliance. However, Suleiman falls in love the moment he sees you. Along with his love, his yandere tendencies begin. He spends many nights with you. No other Haseki is as valuable as you. He presents you with jewelry that he prepared with his own hands or prepared by the best masters. It gives you the most valuable loot from wars. When he goes on a trip to other countries, he brings you something. He is overprotective of you. There are many guards around you to protect you. Suleiman gives strict instructions to the Valide Sultan to protect you. No one can hurt or disrespect you. It doesn't matter to Suleimman whether the baby is a boy or a girl. All that matters is that you and the baby are healthy. Children born to you are always more important to Suleiman. He loves to put his hands on your belly and feel the baby kicks while pregnant. The best doctors will be assigned during your pregnancy. Children born of you will be protected and pampered. Suleiman will try to get as many children from you as possible. As a matter of fact, Suleiman is not very willing to allow you to correspond or meet with your family. Suleiman always wants you to let him know before you do anything. Suleiman will defend you against everyone.
