Top of Topkapi, Men Edition- L'Impero Ottomanzo

Italian joke- manzo (literally male cow) means "hunk".

This will be a battle royale (sultanyale? Imperyale?), with the highest squaring off later if needed.

Ağalar, hatunlar and nonbeynary friends, GO!

-This is updated to Episode 16!-

Pretty sure I'm gonna make a separate blog to put my Magnificent Tumblring on this show in.

It'd be good to have a dedicated space.

Magnificent Century is wonderful and hilarious and worrying.

I kid you not, as a result of a Political Geography assignment, my WHOLE FAMILY is now watching this show together.

And I am quite worried about it, because we're enjoying it A LOT for a lot of... different reasons, but also the comments on YT and what people seem to be learning/getting from it make me fear this getting popular was a terrible mistake.

Expect extensive blogging about it.

Especially since the ease of finding related tags makes me think I've come to the right place for it.

Okay.

Safir Reactions 1x07

I previously wrote a review of the show up until episode 1x06, please reference that to see my initial impressions.

Welp... the latest episode dropped... I had to take a minute to really process all that. See SPOILERS below.

It was an episode filled with Yaman and Feraya.

Plot: Where the last episodes left off with a resolution that Feraya was ready to run away to Istanbul with her friend and raise her baby alone, because of all the harassment from Yaman, it kind of goes to shit when Yaman chases after her. He's holding onto some last hope that maybe Feraya didn't cheat on him (which she didn't) and that he can confront her about it (I don't know why he thought this time would be different when she hadn't told him before but...). They go to the vineyard where they shared a lot of special moments during their relationship (also where she tried to kill herself in the first episode, but they didn't put flashbacks of that in there, or of him confronting her with a gun when he broke up with her... do I sound bitter?) and have this moment of longing. Where I had hoped for some closure in this encounter, there was none. After she basically reaffirms her previous excuse that she's marrying Ates because they're in love, Yaman becomes very morose, calls Ates and leaves. Ates and Feraya speak (you know, because she dipped after taking money from his mom, leaving him in an uncomfortable position of having to explain and make excuses for her, and also getting blamed by her dad). He offers her an out, basically telling her that if she wants to leave for Istanbul, he'd make excuses for her and she can disappear. Feraya doesn't take the out, and decides to go through with the marriage, although she looks miserable the entire time. Yaman in the meantime makes plans to go to London (which the viewers can clearly tell is not what the actual plan is). Ates threatens everyone (mainly his mom) to stay out of his and Feraya's business and he looks hot doing so. Okan, having seen some liaisons, blackmails his way into learning about Feraya's pregnancy through one of the other characters (Bade), and the reason for her marriage to Ates, but he does not tell this to anyone.

The day of the wedding arrives, Ates gets a text from an ex (who learned of his wedding from his mother), Yaman takes a last look at Feraya and leaves a letter confessing everything for Ates in his room. Then he goes and drives himself into a wall. Feraya, who is his emergency contact, gets called about it and immediately runs to go to him. He's in critical condition when she arrives, flatlining and everything. She's in so much stress that she also collapses.

Some other shenanigans happen but that's secondary plot that I'm not going to get into at the moment.

Characters:

Feraye: I honestly don't have much to say about Feraye right now. She's an emotional mess. The girl is stressed. She's been having cramps the entire episode because of the stress she's under. I'm very sympathetic towards her feelings, but at the same time, this 'bond' that she apparently shares with Yaman is starting to piss me off. Also, I'm super pissed that she decided to go through with the wedding when she so clearly didn't want to. And f*ck Cemile's threats, because that woman does not have the reach she pretends she does. She's so clearly dreading this wedding, although I don't know why because she's marrying a GOAT, and she knows she's marrying a really sweet guy but she's acting like she's being led to her execution. And the way she clutched her chest like she 'felt' Yaman's crash... SPARE. ME! so freaking dramatic. Gross. But I'm being very harsh. The girl, as I've said previously, is still mourning her long term relationship with a guy that has been emotionally (and physically) abusing her since it ended. And now that he's 'backing off' apparently, it's like being abandoned all over again. It's like going through withdrawal almost. And rushing to his side when he's had an accident is also understandable. This is a guy that she's been with for years, has so much history with, is about to have his baby, and now he's on death's door. So I'm not going to be pissed at her for going to him. I will be pissed if she forgives him, stays with him after he's stable, and decides to trust him again, but that's future episodes problem.

Ates: Poor boy was done dirty this episode. Like he says, they are really pushing the limits of his patience here. First he gets scolded by Feraye's father who acts like he did something wrong for her to leave, and he has to find excuses for her family, then he has to deal with his own mother so she doesn't spill the beans to his grandfather that Feraye can be bought off, then he has to deal with Bade who's got some sort of snooping thing in his personal life right now. He's also got to console and reassure Feraye, when any mortal would be super pissed at this point, he is still very patient and kind to her. Now, I'm still firmly on his side, but if he turns out to be a sociopath, I wouldn't be surprised because he's getting remarkably threatening to others. I really want to see what he'd do once he's pushed off the edge of his patience. And we get a little insight into his backstory... he left a girl (Melis) at the altar. So I'm excited to see what drama will emerge with that character when she appears.

Yaman: I have a lot to say about Yaman, and a lot of it won't be good, so don't come at me, I'm giving you a warning. ... ready? okay. This LITTLE SHIT! no. I'm not sympathetic that he tried to kill himself. This jack*ss knew exactly what he was doing. He was being so manipulative, and so selfish. This is an abuser tactic. This mentally that, 'I'm thinking about you and I'm filled with you, so you have to be filled with me.' He tried to kill himself ON HER WEDDING DAY!! Forever, that day will be stained with his death. It's exactly the same thing he did with the wedding rings during the coffee ceremony (telling her "Whenever you see this ring you'll think of me") Yes, as an audience we know that this wedding means nothing to her, but he thought she was moving on, and he believed that his brother honestly loved her. He did this as a way to ruin that for them. And, I'm sorry, but are we even sure this was an honest suicide attempt? The ambulance got there awfully fast for him to be in the middle of no where crashing his car. Did he call them first? I wouldn't be surprised because this guy is an honest sh*t stain. And when did he decide to 'kill himself.'? When he didn't get the answer he wanted out of her. When she said that she is marrying his brother because she was 'caught' with him. (a lie but whatever). He did this specifically to make her feel guilty. This was entirely an abusive move on his part. Abusers do this! They say, 'if you leave me I'll die' (and wasn't that the whole point of the gun in the first episode as well). They have such an unhealthy dynamic where they are so dependent on each other and the minute she tries to move on, he's basically saying, 'look what happens when you try to move away from me. I can't live without you.' IT'S DISGUSTING! He did this just to hurt her. And as for what he's doing to his brother is also gross. He's not thinking about how he's hurting Ates by doing this on his wedding day. It's entirely a statement of 'I had her first and this day (your wedding day) is going to be mine now.' Also, he's having his older brother clean up his mess, after all the sh*t. UGGGH. Now I'm not saying the he wasn't overwhelmed. Yes, the situation is very stressful and he was likely very tired and exhausted of having his life turned upside down, and not getting any respite anywhere he goes. But he had a plan to go to London. He literally could have gone to London and just lived his life free of all of it. His wife would never have to join him or even if she did, he could ditch her anywhere in London. This suicide attempt was entirely about Feraye, not the situation with Okan and Cemile and Aleyna. This was about making Feraye see that he can't live without her. And I'm so grossed out. Massive ick. I hope he lives in the next episode and I hope he gets a massive dose of BOUNDARIES.

Okan: Maybe the real villain of this story is the childlike Okan. He's kind of a sh*t. Actually, scratch the kind of. He is a sh*t. Now, I didn't want him to tell Yaman about Feraye's pregnancy, but the fact that he didn't is a real dick move to the brother he owes a lot to. Also, I'm getting major, it's a creep, vibes from the kid.

Conclusion:

What a frustrating episode. I can't wait for the next one. I really need to see what happens next.

Pocketful of Soul by Jenrose

Time-travel fix-it (mostly CQL) 60 Chapters 182k words

Mo Xuanyu flees, walking out, then running as soon as he’s clear.

He runs up the path, drawing in resentful energy as he goes to keep himself from falling, and dives into the cave, where he shoves everything he owns and the notes, everything but the child’s clothes, into qiankun bags, into his clothing. He stays in the dress, and asks the spirits where one could hide.

Flee, flee… They have all gone to Nightless City. Fly away, we will protect him, we will hide him, we’ll keep him safe until until until…

“Can you carry me out of here?” he asks. “Carry me so I don’t leave tracks? Make this place look unused? Delay them?”

A fair trade for the music…

“The music was a gift,” he says, but his feet leave the ground, and there is a rushing darkness, and he is carried on the wind, north and away.

As Pocketful of Soul begins, Mo Xuanyu arrives at Jinlintai at the age of 14. Over the next five years, we see that events play out as in canon. The personal events Mo Xuanyu experiences cover a wide range of topics, from failing attempts at cultivation to becoming a part of research projects for his father and half-brother, Jin Guangyao. As he gains more experience, he is given more to do, from learning to play the dizi to working through the collected notes of the Yiling Patriarch and captured Wen documents. After he attempts to warn his half-sister that he is her brother, he is cast out of Jinlintai, thrown down the stairs, and ends up waking in a merchant's cart on his way to Mo Manor. Banished.

With the knowledge and character of Mo Xuanyu established, we are then taken through escape, arrival in the Burial Mounds, escape, and arrival in Nightless City. It is at this point that the story really begins, as we learn why there was no body found at the foot of the cliff from which Wei Wuxian fell. A blood-spoiled talisman, whose nature is learned through Empathy with the spirit of Jiang Yanli, who has spent years gathering the scattered bits of her brother's soul. The talisman's purpose: to send the soul back in time.

Mo Xuanyu can only travel back in time to his own body. There are a handful of attempts, each time ending in some form of disaster. Eventually, there can be no more attempts. Too many times traveling, or too far back, means death through qi deviation.

At times, the story is depressing, encouraging, terrifying and hopeful.

Through it all, Mo Xuanyu becomes much more than the tortured soul willing to give up his body and reincarnation for revenge. He is a person most of the characters in the story come to admire, and love.

As author Jenrose has written in another work, in case of fire, break glass (reviewed here): "Remember, kids, time travel is very difficult and linguistically awkward and no one should do it."

Despite the "warning". Author Jenrose is very good writing about that subject. This work is clear proof of that.

Mocenigo Appreciation Time

Today's National Italian Day, so in honour of our Repubblic let's hear it for an older repubblican italian rep, AND the most randomly bullied character in the first 10+ Episodes.

Btw Ibrahim pretending not to speak italian for a while just to be able to annoy the guy by mocking his hat, and then do the power move of "I too can actually speak an hilarious broken italian instead of the Venetian we're supposed to be speaking" is the moment in which he first lost points in my book.

Dat Kafir drip, tho.

Thank you, bestie @sab-teraa ❤️ I heard about this show and its amazing reviews but I'm a bit hesitant to start a new just starting dizi giving its unpredictable future in the rating-ruled world of dizi 😔 but maybe I'll get back to it when nore episodes are released :)

Oh oh oh! This is soooo expected 😮‍💨🤌🏽 the original was absolutely brilliant … and from what I’ve seen, the dizi is just as good!!
