Her Venetian origins continued to influence her lifestyle and decisions at court. She often favored Venetian goods, and her manners bore the refinement of Venetian nobility. It was said that she enjoyed Venetian music, and some even claimed that she kept certain elements of her Venetian upbringing alive within her private quarters. - I rapporti tra Venezia e l'Impero Ottomano, Giuseppe Campolongo (1990)

Ugh finished The Double and need something to watch that gives the same feelings.

I need:

- Competent FL on a revenge mission (who doesn’t cave or become compassionate. Burn those mfs down, queen)

- Hot ML who trusts her and is so into her being ruthless and smart

- Satisfying revenge

- Good side characters

Basically something like The Double or even My Uncanny Destiny. Or like the novel Remarriage of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage.

Any recs?

COMMUNITY. does. Anyone have good resources for historical clothing? I know there’s a huge western fashion doc floating around somewhere (I need to find it), but I would love to have access to like, non Eurocentric (or specifically western), historical clothing.

So the other day, I started watching this asian historic romance drama and there's this part where the female lead is seriously injured and looks to be about to die in the wilderness, but she just so happens to run into the main love interest. He rescues her when she falls unconscious, takes her to a safe place to rest, and nurses her back to health. While staying together, he plays music for her to comfort her. At some point, when she is feeling better, they make music together. During this time, they get to know each other and at this point it is very clear that a romance is being set up here. I don't know how this story ends yet (I haven't finished the show), but it really gets to me just how obvious it all is. Just how unquestionable it is that these two are falling in love when it is between a man and a woman.

"In the popular version of Roxelana's history that would come to depict her as ruthlessly determined to eliminate all rivals in her path, she engineers Mahidevran's banishment from Istanbul to Manisa. The two women may well have been eager to put distance between themselves, but it was political tradition, not scheming on Roxelana's part, that sent Mahidevran into the field as mother to a provincial governor. Once in Manisa, Mustafa and Mahidevran would take up residence in their old home, together with their newly assembled entourages. For her part, Mahidevran was no doubt delighted that her son was finally head of his own household and she now in charge of its female court. As Hafsa had monitored Mahidevran in her early years at Suleyman's consort, she would look after the young women in Mustafa's harem." - Empress of the East: How a European Slave Girl Became Queen of the Ottoman Empire, Leslie Peirce
