Hayat buydu belkide, bir sandal ağacı kadar kısa ve ağır; ve bir menekşe kadar solmaya müsait…

[acelyakokusu]

Herkes güneşe bakan ayçiçeğini konuşurdu, oysa kimsenin aklına gelmezdi menekşelerin ve açelyaların kokusu.

This red and golden kaftan was first worn by Şah Sultan in the twenty-second episode of the third season of Magnificent Century. When she wore it again in the twenty-eighth episode, the kaftan's neckline had been drastically altered. This new version is next seen on Mihrimah Sultan in the eighth episode of the fourth season.

Magnificent Century: Kösem used the kaftan twice, first on Menekşe Hatun in the twenty-sixth episode of the first season and then on Madame Margaret (later Melek Hatun) in the third episode of the second season.

This scene is SO viscerally painful!

I started screaming. Literally. It’s out as bluntly as could be.

The way this runs as a refrain - no matter how he hurt her, how far away he got, how much she lost him, at least she felt she knew him, that he was hers through that connection, that knowledge. That “I know you, you are Ecevit” refrain is haunting.

He tries to defuse...

Oh God.

She does not realize this, but it’s her confessing unmistakably that she’s never loved Bilal and she still loves Ecevit.

Oh. My. GOD!

And again that refrain...

This is downright Victorian and I am DYINGGGGG in the best, worst way!

AAAAA! The way she confesses that seeing him with someone else is killing her.

(So I still know you, is what she means!)

And we come to the crux of it. And it’s easy to dismiss her words as her placing unrealistic expectations of sainthood on one very damaged man (because they are), or to wish she said it gentler (because she should have) or driven by the fact that she’s never been this hurt herself so it’s easy for her to say (because that’s a valid point) but I cannot get mad at her because it’s all driven by her terror that she does not know this new Ecevit at all actually, that he is not the person she loves any more, that the last connection has been severed. And also at least, she is the sole person who is not seeing his descent as a good thing, not shoving him into the darkness harder.

And we see the flashback where Bilal tells her about the plan and what strikes me is the pleasure he takes in it not because it’s closer to his idea of justice (though still not perfect, nothing but a bullet to the head would satisfy him) but because to him it’s vindication his way is correct; that he managed to drag Ecevit with him and also that the perfect Ecevit is not perfect but can also turn into a monster from pain - he has so much inferiority about Ecevit - about the latter’s control and even the fact that he was Ahu’s first choice, and this is him showing that Ecevit is not any better and thus Bilal is not any worse. Ecevit maybe making Bilal better but Bilal is making Ecevit worse and honestly they need to separate ASAP.

Jesus God. You are dismantling all the internal supports Ecevit built for himself to have a sense of identity and purpose and to get through life. You want his reaction to trauma to mirror yours but this is how you cope but his destruction.

(The way he calls him “your Ecevit” gave me shivers. He has never gotten over Ahu preferring Ecevit first and a cruel, damaged part of him is reveling in hurting her.)

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK this is so wrong and so messed up and so entwined and so consuming.

You are a terrible boyfriend and Ecevit is also incredibly damaged. Ahu’s choices are bleak.

She has every right to say this and I get why she does but I have gotten to the irrationally protective of Ecevit stage so shut up shut up shut up shut up I just need someone he loves and trusts to give the man a big hug and tell him he is doing well and will be OK and let him get some sleep. He’s gonna die, I know it, but even in Kara Sevda and Ezel and Poyraz Karayel and Menekse ve Halil and other notorious Turkish show tragedies, the protags got SOME interval of happiness before that!

(and not Bilal, how telling.)

Her human moral compass that is Ecevit has broken and like - I get why she is lashing out but STOP. He’s not Jesus, he’s a flesh and blood man under unimaginable trauma and pressure, give him some grace!

This pink and grey kaftan was first worn by Mahidevran Sultan in the first episode of the third season of Magnificent Century. It appeared again three times in the fourth season, first on Melek Kalfa in the thirteenth episode, then on an unnamed harem member in the twenty-third episode and lastly on Fidan Kalfa in the twenty-sixth episode.

Magnificent Century: Kösem removed the sleeves and used the kaftan on Menekşe Hatun in the first episode of the first season and on Meleki Hatun in the sixth episode of the second season.
