A/N: I enjoyed writing this one!

SEASIDE SERENADE - KENAN YILDIZ

It’s always fun to tease Kenan, especially when it results in a kiss

Kenan Yildiz x turkish! Reader

︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿

The warm sun of Bodrum had begun to set, casting a golden glow through the window of our hotel room. The room was filled with the soft sounds of music playing from my phone and the occasional laughter from the beach below.

Kenan and I were getting ready for a night out, planning to explore the vibrant nightlife of Bodrum.

"Yakışıklı," I said, turning to face him. "You look so handsome tonight."

He stepped closer, wrapping his arms around my waist. "And you look absolutely stunning, aşkım," he replied, leaning down to kiss me gently.

I giggled against his lips and pulled back slightly. "Are you ready for our dinner date? Don’t forget, you promised to order in turkish tonight."

Kenan chuckled, his hands still resting on my hips. "Of course, I remember. But you better not make fun of my pronunciation this time."

"No promises," I teased, pecking his lips again before turning back to the mirror to finish my makeup. "Besides, it's cute when you try."

He shook his head with a smile, his fingers lightly tracing circles on my hips. "You always find a way to tease me, don’t you?"

"Always," I replied, turning to face him once more. I ran my hands up his chest and looped them around his neck. "But you love it."

Kenan leaned in, capturing my lips in a deeper kiss this time. "I do," he murmured against my lips. "I love everything about you, güzelim."

His hands tightened around my waist, pulling me closer until our bodies were pressed together. I could feel the warmth of his skin through the fabric of his shirt, and my heart raced as his lips moved against mine with a newfound urgency.

I tangled my fingers in his hair, deepening the kiss as I melted into him. Kenan’s hands roamed up my back, one settling at the nape of my neck while the other stayed firmly on my waist, holding me close.

The kiss grew more passionate, our breaths mingling as we lost ourselves in the moment.

When we finally pulled away, both of us were breathless. Kenan rested his forehead against mine, his eyes dark with desire. "I love you," he murmured, his voice husky.

"I love you too," I whispered back, pressing a soft kiss to his lips once more.

After a few more moments of kissing and playful touches, we finally finished getting ready and left the hotel. The streets of Bodrum were lively, filled with locals and tourists enjoying the evening.

As we strolled hand in hand, people began to recognize Kenan almost immediately.

Fans approached him for photos, and he graciously obliged, taking pictures and signing autographs.

I watched with pride, loving how kind and approachable he was with everyone. "You’re quite the celebrity, aren’t you?" I teased as we continued walking.

He shrugged, a playful glint in his eyes. "Just a guy who kicks a ball around."

Finally, we reached a cozy seaside restaurant and were seated at a table overlooking the water. The sound of waves crashing against the shore provided a soothing backdrop as we perused the menu.

When the waiter arrived, Kenan confidently placed our order in Turkish. "Merhaba, iki kişilik mezeler ve ana yemek olarak adana kebap ve mantı istiyoruz, lütfen."

The waiter nodded, noting down the order and smiling politely before leaving us alone.

I leaned in closer, a playful grin spreading across my face. "Adana kebap ve mantı, huh? You sounded so serious."

Kenan rolled his eyes but couldn’t hide his smile. "What? Was it that bad?"

"No, not bad," I said, giggling. "Just… adorable. You still have that cute little German accent."

He groaned playfully, leaning back in his chair. "Oh, come on. I’m trying my best here."

I reached across the table, taking his hand in mine. "And you're doing great, canim. It’s just fun to tease you a little."

He squeezed my hand, his eyes softening. "I know. And I love how you keep me on my toes."

While we waited for our food, I took out my phone and pointed it at him. "Smile for me, aşkım."

Kenan laughed and posed playfully, making goofy faces. I snapped a few photos, giggling. "You’re such a dork."

"Only for you," he said, leaning across the table to steal a kiss.

When our food arrived, we enjoyed a delicious meal while continuing to chat and laugh, the teasing and affectionate banter making the evening even more enjoyable.

The sun had fully set by the time we finished eating, and we decided to take a leisurely stroll along the beach.

Hand in hand, we walked along the shoreline, the cool breeze and the sound of the waves creating a perfect end to our night.

"This place is beautiful," I said, looking out at the moonlit water.

Kenan nodded, his gaze fixed on me. "Not as beautiful as you, güzelim."

I blushed, nudging him playfully. "You’re such a charmer."

He chuckled, pulling me closer. "Only for you."

We continued walking, our conversation flowing easily. "So, what’s your favorite memory from this trip so far?" I asked.

Kenan thought for a moment. "Honestly, just being here with you. Seeing you smile, hearing you laugh… it’s all I need."

My heart melted at his words. "You always know how to say the right thing."

He stopped walking, turning to face me. "That’s because I mean every word." He cupped my face in his hands, kissing me deeply.

When we finally pulled away, I rested my head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. "I love you so much, Kenan."

"I love you too, more than anything," he replied, holding me close.

We stayed like that for a while, wrapped in each other’s arms, the world around us fading away.

I keep getting kebap ads like ik i'm turkish tumblr no need to give me confirmation

Is anyone else getting these cursed mobile game ads with the pimple popping bc good fucking god

[homosapiennns]

LET’S TALK ABOUT MR. SADIK ADNAN AKA UNCLE DILF OF HETALIA

Sadık is an unique name. I never met a Sadık in my life. It means loyal. Adnan is usually a name, not a surname. It’s an old name, people don’t name their sons Adnan anymore. Both names are pretty masculine sounding. “Sadık” is pronounced S, A in dark, Dı is read the same as the word “the”, K is normal. Adnan is pretty easy, all As in our language are the same.

Sadiq is not a real name, we don’t have q in our alphabet. But I understand that people don’t know this so I forgive u guys 😙

Do I like his name? Tbh the first time I’ve seen it I didn’t, but I like it now. I can’t imagine him having a different name.

I have a few headcanons of him!!!

First of all, this man is LOUD. Like he is not shouting obv, but he talks loudly, energetically, and a little fast paced. He is extroverted, he can carry a conversation easily, and I can see him being “the dominant one” in a convo if it makes sense. Like u don’t have to worry about finding a topic bc Sadık naturally finds it.

His voice is deep.

He is friendly, but he doesn’t share his romantic life if it’s not a close friend. I can see him being close w Balkan countries, Bulgaria especially. A lot of Turks came to Turkey from Bulgaria in 50s and 90s (bc yk Ottoman Empire was there) But I think his personal relationship with Balkans doesn’t get affected by foreign policies. Bc fuck governments and politics. Anyways LOL. He is friends with Russia too. I read some RusTur fanfics? I don’t even know the name of the ship but it was fucking hot. He likes Europeans, Germany is his fave, but he isn’t close with them. Greece will have his own section 😉

He lives in Istanbul, in Anatolia side. He just can’t escape this city he loves it so much even tho it’s overpopulated.

He likes fishing like every uncle ever. He falls asleep in front of his TV like every dad. He loves drinking rakı and eating the fish he caught w it. He loves to eat, he has a dad bod. When he’s drinking he prepares the table like this n people go insane for it, also he always pays the meal’s bills. His hospitality has no limits like this man can die of hypothermia if it means his guests are warm and tucked in bed.

He has ZERO drip 😔 he has a beard n a hairy body. Idk why but I can’t rlly imagine him with abs. Maybe Osmanlı (Im gonna use Turkish bc Ottoman Empire is so long bro) had an athletic body, but Mr. Turkey just doesn’t care.

He loveeees cooking. Ok so Turks hate takeouts unless u live alone. If u go to a Turkish household and suggest that u want to order a pizza they will act like u just cursed their entire family. Sadık is the same unless he eats kebap outside bc mmm kebap is yummy.

He is a Muslim, not a hardcore tho, he only practices it in Fridays the same way Christians go to church in Sundays.

LETS TALK ABOUT OSMANLI OMG. So yk Mr. Adnan is friendly softie etc etc. But Osmanlı was different! I think his personality changed after the Turkish War of Independence and the Republic has founded. He had to change himself, we the people had to change ourselves to fit the modern Western world.

But at it’s prime Sadık was crueler, focused on wars and fighting and conquering, making his Empire bigger. He has seen many things. Had to betray, manipulate. He was impatient, cunning, cynical. He was never cold though. I think he was always sincere, like yeah his words hurt but he was telling the truth. I don’t like portraying him evil, like a villain. He doesn’t have a bad heart. He knows how to have a good time if u are his friend.

I think he got THE drip bro. Like his clothes were the most expensive fabrics, sewn by the best tailors.

His sexuality hmmm well 🤔 I think he likes woman but Osmanlı was really gay at that time. Lots of gossips about bisexual Sultans. So I hc him as bi leaning to woman. He loves woman but he bedded many manyyyyy men yk. Especially when he was younger and sexier and he fucked some Sultans with their wives. Like casual not-so-secret threesomes in Has Oda, yeniçeri’s blushing listening outside of their door (Sultan’s main bedroom 😉) he probably wanted to sleep w women in harem too but he couldn’t 😔 no men were allowed inside.

I don’t ship TurGre. I’ve read fics, some I really like, but when I think about it I feel weird and uncomfortable. I like their dynamic as complicated frenemies. Sadık was never a parent to Hera. I think their dynamic was like Romano-Spain. Boss and ??? Child??? I think Hera never did housework though. Humans already did that. When Hera was little, he hated Sadık. But as he spent time w him, he liked him a little bit. Sadık taught him many things, but he never saw him as his “son” or “student” it’s just. It was a land under Osmanlı, and Sadık wanted to know him. He looked after him of course, and he enjoyed his company. Telling him stories, traveling Istanbul, talking philosophy. We all know Hera loves philosophy. I also think they didn’t spend a lot of time anyway, Sadık was too busy.

Today, they pretend to hate each other but they don’t actually hate each other?? Wowneifnifj. It’s like Turkey vs Greece memes. Like they make fun of each other but it’s teasing, it’s not mean, both went through so many things. They both suffered n they understand each other.

AND TURKEY TOUCHES PEOPLE. A LOT. He hugs n slaps n pokes. Hera is used to it. Turks are touchy in general, including men. No boundaries at all. I’m glad Hima put this in the comic :D

That’s all about the Istanbul gentleman 😙✨

14, 29, 43

Just because I’m curious!

thank you so much for questionsss❤️

14- do you love the smell of earth after it rains?

- i love it, beautiful scent that calms my soul

29- how do you like your shower water?

-not so cold but also not so hot

43- what’s your take on spicy foods?

-i like to eat spicy food. turkish cuisine is especially famous for its spicy dishes like kebap lol

[coriphallus]

What europe has done to turkish diaspora is criminal. I go to a kebap place run by turks, I order spicy (?) dürüm and I ask for red pepper flakes and the dude says “ooo sister you’re from east, eh?” I empty the bottle to get the faintest taste of spice.

My dude my guy if you served this to an eastern turk/kurd as spicy they would hunt you for sport 😭😭

why is there an entire salad in my dürüm

MAG 72 - apple cutting

Ah, yes, Basira's going after Rayner! Interestingly enough, Basira once did walk in on Jon when he was recording a statement with Rayner (MAG 52 Exceptional Risk with Robert Montauk). On my first listen I honestly didn't remember the name Maxwell Rayner from MAG 52, even less from MAG 9, so I totally didn't understand why Jon knew to bring torches. Also, without the knowledge of the Fears and their specialties I think I didn't make the connection of darkness being a thing on its own at that time, as it's a stylistic device used in a lot of horror.

I think it's funny, that in English it's spelled "kebab" (with a B at the end) while in German it's "Kebap" (with a p at the end). Either way, it's neither an English word nor a German one. I looked it up, and in Turkish (and Austria, and Germany I guess, has a lot of Turkish influences. I mean, siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Empire happened not only once but twice and a lot their stuff just stuck) it's spelled kebap with the P, but that also just traces back to the arabic word kabāb and there it's spelled with a B.

"Weirdly enough, it wasn’t a Chinese; it just served kebab, chicken, burgers…" - We actually have a lot of those everything-takeaways here. Kebap, Pizza, Burritos, Sushi, Schnitzel, all from the same restaurant

"I was always under the impression that you needed to order those huge rotating columns of things specially" - lol, it's literally just a bunch of meat pierced onto that Döner skewer. It's that simple. I looks impressive yes, but it's not complicated.

"You know the weirdest part, though? The bit I regret most is that I don’t know which of the meals it was. I feel like, if I’ve been tricked into eating a person, I might at least have learned what a human being tastes like." - Hhhnnggg, I miiiight have been the same? Hard to say not being in that position. I mean my initial reaction, just thinking about this, is nausea, but I totally understand that there is a sense of curiosity there?

"I know how that sounds, and I’m certainly not okay with murder," - Yeah, totally agree on that one. That is completely out of the question.

"not to mention the issue with prion diseases" - Yep! AAALSO DID YOU KNOW!!! (Oh god, I waited 74 days to finally talk about this!) There was a person who survived 10 years with Creutzfeldt-Jakob thanks to experimental treatment. (The average life expectancy following the onset of symptoms is 13 months, so 10 years is a big deal!). And now hold on to your butts. That person was a man from the UK. And his name was… Jonathan Simms! (Look him up, he got a Wikipedia page. Simms, with double M, from Belfast.)

"but the actual act of eating meat that comes from a human? I’m fine with it. I can’t help but feel that anyone happy to eat other meats is something of a hypocrite if they’re not at least theoretically fine with eating human. There’s nothing inherently special about us. We feel as much pain, see the world with the same eyes as a real pig. Meat is meat." - This is what I meant when I said just two episodes ago, that Jonny put a lot of views or thoughts into TMA that I totally had in the exact same way before. I've always said I should be fine with eating all kinds of animals, not just the ones we deem not cute enough to keep as a pet. People always tried to get a reaction out of me when finding out that I have a horse by saying "Omnom, I like salami" (first of all, what is wrong with you that this is what you want to say to a person who likes horses. Just shut your mouth if you have nothing of value to say) and I always was like "Yeah, if it's not a horse I knew, why not". I also always thought I should be able to stand next to an animal getting slaughtered if I want to eat them. Meat is meat? My saying always was (although I'm not religious, but I think everyone got, what I meant) "All life is the same in front of god and on a dinner plate."

Since I am Caucasian in Central Europe I feel like I'm not really in a place to comment on the discourse of racism in this episode. I do see however that it seems to be self-aware of it a bit when the statement-giver talks about that teenager, who broke into the kebap shop. Like "It's a white boy in nice shoes, of course they let him go."

"but that if I didn’t check in with him in an hour or so, he should come down, in case I had trouble of any kind." - Smart. I like smart people in horror stories.

"In his spindly hands he held a pair of bolt cutters, with the blades positioned either side of my ankle." - I heard that a full rupture of the Achilles tendon is one of the most painful things (burns are also super high on that scale btw. Poor Jack Barnabas). My dad told me he was once present when an athlete ruptured their Achilles tendon while running. He said it was like a gunshot… But yeah, anything in horror media or thrillers etc. involving cutting the Achilles tendon is some body horror that seriously gets to me. I don't know, feet in general get to me. Happens regularly at work (Ha, imagine working in orthopedics T___T).

"I saw chipped teacups, a stack of what looked like old bibles" - This ties in with MAG 5! There was a trash bag with strips of paper with prayers on them!

"A small pile of human fingers." / "In a single, smooth motion the knife lashed out, cutting through my bound hands and neatly severing three of my fingers in a sudden burst of white-hot pain." / "Instead he picked up my fingers one by one and tossed them off-handedly onto the pile behind him." / "then looked at my right hand, which still seemed to have all five fingers. It didn’t make any sense. I could still see the ones he had cut-off on the pile. One of them bore my heavy silver ring, while the same finger on my hand did not." - This is why I always knew that MAG 5 is a Flesh statement. The detail about the teeth being all the very same but in different stages of decay and age. The thing with the fingers was just exactly like that.

"He spoke with a crisp RP accent, which surprised me. You know what’s messed up? Here was this guy clearly about to kill me and carve me up for meat, and I still somehow felt bad about making the assumption that he couldn’t speak English, like I didn’t want my last thoughts on Earth to be low-key racist." - There the statement is again self-aware of some sort of racism. This is absolutely a thing sadly, especially in super white Central Europe. How often have I heard people of color tell me that they got told "Wow, your German is really good." ¬_¬ Though I do totally understand the criticism of using the stereotype of the "Chinese people will eat anything" for a Flesh-themed statement. In the movie Fresh (2022) (also, spoilers for Fresh:) the first place where the protagonist has a date is also a Chinese restaurant and I was very aware that this was probably also already a nod at where the story is headed - cannibalism. There were subtle hints to this throughout the whole movie before we get to the reveal, that Sebastian Stan's character abducts women to lock them up at his house at a remote location and uses them as supply for fresh human meat to sell to rich people.

Ha, Jon says "End statement" again instead of "Statement ends".

It's a very loaded statement! A lot of interesting stuff, and a lot of less so. I don't want to get into it, but I do think the statement is very self aware more than people give it credit for, and the Flesh entity is terrifying.

The teeth and fingers thing is... ough. Gross is putting it lightly haha!

Kebab (UK: /kɪˈbæb/, US: /kɪˈbɑːb/; Arabic: كباب, kabāb, [kaˈbaːb]; Turkish: kebap, [cebɑp]) or kabob (North American) is a type of cooked meat dish that originates from cuisines of the Middle East. Many variants of the category are popular around the world, including the skewered shish kebab and the doner kebab with bread.

Kebabs consist of cut up or ground meat, sometimes with vegetables and various other accompaniments according to the specific recipe. Although kebabs are typically cooked on a skewer over a fire, some kebab dishes are oven-baked in a pan, or prepared as a stew such as tas kebab.[1][2] The traditional meat for kebabs is most often lamb meat, but regional recipes may include beef, goat, chicken, fish, or even pork (depending on whether or not there are specific religious prohibitions).

History

In Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq's 10th-century Baghdadi cookbook Kitab al-Tabikh (Arabic: كتاب الطبيخ), a compendium of much of the legacy of Mesopotamian, Persian, and Arab cuisine, there are descriptions of kabāb as cut-up meat, either fried in a pan or grilled over a fire.[3]

However, while the word kebab or shish kebab may sometimes be used in English as a culinary term that refers to any type of small chunks of meat cooked on a skewer,[1] kebab is mainly associated with a diversity of meat dishes that originated in the medieval kitchens of Persia and Anatolia.[4] Though the word has ancient origins, it was popularized in the West by Turks to refer to this range of grilled and broiled meat, which may be cooked on skewers, but also as stews, meatballs, and other forms.[1][4] This cuisine has spread around the world, in parallel with Muslim influence.[1] According to Ibn Battuta, a Moroccan traveller, kebab was served in the royal houses during the Delhi Sultanate (1206–1526 CE), and even commoners would enjoy it for breakfast with naan.[5] Kebab dishes have been adopted and integrated with local cooking styles and innovations, from the now-ubiquitous doner kebab fast food, to the many variations of shish kebab, such as the satays of Southeast Asia.[1]

The word kebab likely came to English in the late 17th century from the Arabic kabāb, partly through Hindustani, Persian and Turkish.[6][7] According to linguist Sevan Nişanyan, the Turkish word kebap is also derived from the Arabic word kabāb, meaning roasted meat. It appears in Turkish texts as early as the 14th century, in Kyssa-i Yusuf (the story of Joseph), though still in the Arabic form. Nişanyan states that the word has the equivalent meaning of 'frying, burning' with kabābu in the old Akkadian language, and kbabā כבבא in Aramaic.[8] In contrast, food historian Gil Marks says that the medieval Arabic and Turkish terms were adopted from the Persian kabab, which probably derived from the Aramaic.[4]

The American Heritage Dictionary also gives a probable East Semitic root origin with the meaning of 'burn', 'char', or 'roast', from the Aramaic and Akkadian.[9] The Babylonian Talmud instructs that Temple offerings not be kabbaba (burned).[4] These words point to an origin in the prehistoric Proto-Afroasiatic language: *kab-, to burn or roast.[10]

For a list of kebab variants, see List of kebabs.

In most English-speaking countries, a kebab may be the classic shish kebab or souvlaki – small cubes of meat cooked on a skewer[1][6] – or, in North America where it is better known as gyros where as outside North America fast-food is known as doner kebab.[11][6][4] By contrast, in Indian English, Bangladeshi English, Pakistani English[12][13] and in the languages of the Middle East, other parts of Asia, and the Muslim world, a kebab is any of a wide variety of grilled meat dishes. Some dishes ultimately derived from Middle Eastern kebab may have different names in their local languages, such as the Chinese chuan.

There are so many words I haven't heard of before here.

[thisandthat-whatever]

What's your favorite Turkish food?

Off, so many though, but at this moment I would want either Iskender kebap or manti or minced beef börek (which I sometimes make myself at home). Oh and any of the many mezes (meze is small portion appetizer) at any seafood restaurant on Cunda Island in Ayvalik (where my family would vacation in the summers. They have a summer house there).

Like these are “meze” in the photos. Sometimes I fill myself up too much with meze (appetizer) at seafood restaurants that I don’t have enough room for the main course.

[beardedhandstoadshark]

Btw,now that vacation‘s done,

pro-Tip for Anon that‘s gonna be in Turkey for Christmas in case it‘s your first time there (or anyone else for that matter):

DO NOT EAT THE MINCED MEAT THERE. Doooon‘t. Chicken is fine, so is Adana and Köfte and whatever you might see, but the minced meat/kiyma will probably wreck your stomach. That unfortunately includes eating turkish pizza/lahmacun. So if a dish says "kiymali“ on it, don‘t. Same goes for sucuk/garlic sausage.

traffic rules are just a suggestion

12$ for a milkshake aren‘t normal, and neither are 20 for a single Adana kebap. Or any kebap. Or food in general. Current change is at around 35TL per 1$.

the day doesn‘t end when the sun goes down! The vast majority of places is still open even near or after 12pm, and the streets are still decently full at that time too! It‘ll get less after 1am though.

Spicy actually means spicy lmao

Depending on the place you got it from, Ice cream might be a bit different. There‘s regular ice cream, and then there‘s "Maraș Donurma“/"Maraş ice cream", which has a more chewy consistency and stronger flavor due to its production. I personally love it, but it might not be for everyone. Gotta have it tried at least once tho :3

if flying and financially within your realm, book turkish airlines for a flight. They have actual meals! 2 menus you can choose from, in fact. As well as a bunch of drinks to get, both cold and hot.

Tea always means Black Tea

if it‘s too bitter you can try asking for a lemon to put into it (it‘ll take the sting of the tea away)

pretty much every cafe no matter how small will have Wifi available for guests, though you gotta ask the workers there for the password in most cases

THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER (maybe not in December tho ^^)
