~Şivekar Sultan~

The Storytellers told Ibrahim I that the bigger and fatter the woman, the sweeter the lovemaking would be. One day while traveling in Üsküdar, the sultan was inspired by the corpulent women he saw. He then ordered to find the fattest beauty in Istanbul. The courtiers searched and searched and finally found a Armenian woman who weight 150 kg. She entered Ibrahim’s harem, was named Şivekar and became the seventh Haseki Sultan. Ibrahim could not live without her for a while. It seems that Şivekar did not have any children.Compared to other Ibrahim’s consorts, Şivekar was the one who had influence during her Hasekiship. In a letter to the grand vizier, she requested that Hasan, one of the axe – masters be assigned to a certain position. Upon Ibrahim’s dethronement, Şivekar was sent to the Old Palace. She lived the longest among Ibrahim’s consorts. She passed away in 1693.

The show is kinda vague about it but I can assume that despite being born before his sultanate, Ibrahim's son Osman with Zarife is entitled to the title of Şehzade, right?

The son he is based on had the title according to wikipedia. However, we all know how reliable wikipedia can be on non-English and especially non-Western historical articles. So if anyone knows anything about this I would greatly appreciate it. Does Peirce maybe have something in her book on this?

"Don't blame anyone but yourself, Suleiman. You created Hürrem and Ibrahim both."

Both Nigar and Ibrahim decide to help Hürrem in Episode 1 after finding a commonality with her (Nigar had a Ruthenian grandmother, Ibrahim was Orthodox).

Turhan Sultan, I will never forgive the producers for only giving you 4 episodes, but that didn't stop me from making you one of my favourites... u served hard, with limited time u had and Ibrahim never deserved you.

Literally the only Sultana that was smart enough to care about herself and her son first and not the sultans love.

[did-we-imagine]

I've only watched excerpts of this series & read spoilers (+ read about the real historical figures/watched documentaries). I love Turhan (who appears in the Kösem series), & I think she is a "successful" Mahidevran (also the sultan's forgotten concubine, I think she even had it worse in that she was his 1st, unlike Mahidevran who was preceded by others, & Ibrahim literally preferred his stepson, some other concubine's son who wasn't his, over their shared son whom he chucked in the pool to make his point clear).

Just thinking how Hürrem was given freedom by Suleiman, which literally did not mean a change in her life other than prestige brought by marriage - she continued to be mentally dependent on him and got absorbed into the system even more… Suleiman’s rejection of Mahidevran, which also contributed to him refusing her freedom (yes she never stood a chance because he never loved her and his favoritism was what decided fates in that system in the end), actually freed her in the long run mentally and emotionally. It was the moment she decided to give up on him and slowly walked towards her full mental independence. And while she still had to obey certain rules imposed by the system due to her having her prince, upon his death, she stopped giving shit and finally voiced all the anger about Suleiman and the system. She lost all the “golden cage”, but she gained freedom from constraints of mind and emotion that the system put on individuals. She was free to get most reflection about the system & form critique of it without being an active part of it any longer. A sad freedom but the truest one any of these women got.

they conveyed a lot by having ibrahim respond "i know, atike" when she tells him "i'll always be with you" as opposed to his strained silence when kosem tells him the same

[sic-k]

Besides her actress failed in several scenes, in this one, she was more natural than ever, it brought me so much joy seeing them like this. And, Ibrahim after THAT scene with Nigar is hotter than hell, what a man omg, the way his dark eyes moves while he gives her encouragement words - good, very good, let it slide, slow, slowly - well.... I had to take this out of my chest, and from my [censured]
