“After watching Rise of the Empires: Ottoman on Netflix, I just want to say that Mara Hatun is one hell of a character. The fact that Mehmed II wouldn't have succeeded in conquering Constantinople without her, says a lot of her character and her influence despite being a princess from a small despotate (Serbia). She's such an underrated gal among Ottoman ladies despite her legacy and after Nurbanu and Kösem, she's my favourite Ottoman valide.” - Submitted by Anonymous

This can’t really be the “Highbrow/Lowbrow” question, since both parts are clearly highbrow and scholarly ;)

The No More Jockeys players in House of Games

I felt the need to make this edit after watching their performances in house of games because i was so shocked by how good they were. it was soo hilarious watching them all try and hold back and feel bad that they were ruining the game because they were clearly gonna win from day one lmaoo. also im not an editor so this is really bad but i really want to learn proper editing… for now this has to do i guess. theres also way too little edits of these guys so i am so starved for content i had to start making my own..

HotD failed on hair and wardrobe on multiple fronts, but I think Rhaenys might be the most frustrating because the solution was so simple.

It's bad enough they changed her hair seemingly just to make Rhaenyra look bad for having dark-haired sons. But they also really said they wanted her to have a "regal" presence with hair that evokes Ottoman sultanas, and they didn't take the obvious route?

The one that would not only look better, but also help worldbuild and mark cultural differences, and remove the need for another expensive wig? They could have used that money on poor Rhaena. Damn, they could have simply stuck a custom headdress on half the blondes to disguise the cheapness of the wigs. It's 'medieval Europe.' It should not be out of the question for women to have their hair covered.

“The way the osmanoglus are literally making jokes about the armenian, pontic and assyrian genocide and remembering a time where they subjugated the balkans and north africa while showing some performative sympathy for Palestine is so mind-boggling to me” - Submitted by Anonymous

As the nights get longer and summer starts to feel like it might be over, I'm beginning to turn my attention to the wonderful festive season that is the British Autumn TV Schedule! There are many things I'm excited about. If you also get excited about one or more of these things and want to chat or like make sure I'm following you or something go for it! And if you want me to use specific tags so you can make sure to avoid spoilers or seeing stuff that you are not personally excited about please let me know and I'll do my best. I don't normally watch things live as my time zone and work schedule conspire against me so I'm constantly blocking and unblocking tags and keywords.

The shows I'm excited for include:

Doctor Who 💙💙

Bake Off

Strictly

Taskmaster

Ghosts

House of Games (relatedly but not TV I'm also looking forward to the new Thursday Murder Club book)
