“one of my favorite monarch and consort pairings is definitely sultan suleiman i and haseki hurrem sultan. the fact that he broke so many rules and traditions (eg. having more than one son with her, raising her status from concubine to a sultan, letting her, a woman, participate in some state affairs) for her is so🥹 i was genuinely sad for him when i learned that he loved her so much, he didn’t take another woman after her death (when he really could, he was the sultan after all) and lived the rest of his life heartbroken. ALSO!! the letters they wrote to each other (especially the poems!!) are so sweet and dreamy. it sounds crazy, but it’s like i felt their love for each other when reading those, like it transcended death and time.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Hello, I am the one who sent the suleiman x reader x hurrem scenario where reader is in the place of gulnihal and I would like to confirm that yes, suleyman does turn yandere for reader and calls for her again. This is when yandere hurrem realises that her beloved sister whom she is vey yandere for has been spending nights with suleyman. What do you think yandere hurrem's reaction to this would be?

Hürrem and you are twin sisters. However, you do not resemble each other in terms of personality or appearance. After you are kidnapped, you have no one left but each other. You are Hürrem's confidant and assistant in the palace. Hürrem spoils you financially as much as she can. Protective and possessive towards you. However, your life is turned upside down because of İbrahim Pasha. After spending the night with Sultan Suleiman, you are sent to a separate room. Sultan Suleiman is sending you lots of gifts. You go to your sister Hürrem and tell her everything. You meet your nephew. You apologize. Hürrem sees everyone else as guilty except you. You are Sultan Suleiman's new favorite concubine. You get pregnant in a short time and have twin babies. Prince Selim and Mihrimah Sultan. Hürrem always remains your sister who protects you. You watch each other's backs. Hürrem never forgives the evil done against you.

Hürrem is the possessive, protective and jealous sister. She doesn't want to share you with others.

IT MUST BE HEAVEN (2019), dir. Elia Suleiman

"What the younger generation are doing today, I’m envious of. The people you see in the last scene are people I witnessed myself during the shooting. Something synchronized between the emotion I was building inside of me, and then confronting them. I had not met those people. Other people on the shoot told me Haifa has the most beautiful bars. We went on a tour and I got so slammed. At 3am, at the end of the night, the last bar was a gay and lesbian bar. I kept on drinking and watching. And I thought, 'This is the last scene of the film, for sure.' It was great. It was completely in sync with my feeling and sentiment. It came to me like a destined scene." —Elia Suleiman
