there’s something in the way Afife protects and stands up for Firuze even AFTER she befriends Hurrem.

like when Hurrem throws Firuze in the dungeons, Afife struts her ways to her chambers and asks for an explanation, even saying “She is the favorite of His Majesty, i won’t allow anyone to treat her like this”. when Hurrem refuses, Afife then goes straight to Suleyman. and remember, this is all after she saves Hurrem! at this point in this story she likes her!! Afife will go against an all powerful sultana, even one she likes, to protect a “mere concubine”.

and why does this make me so emo?? because young Hurrem was thrown in the dungeons as well, and NO ONE batted an eye. she rotted in there for like a day and it took Suleyman’s summoning to get her tf out. even then, they still tried to cover it up!!! i don’t think any of that would have happened had Afife been there from the very beginning. she would have stood up for Hurrem against Valide\Mahidevran the same way she stood up for Firuze against Hurrem. and i think Hurrem knows this as well and it absolutely kills her. it really adds a deeper level to the “when i arrived at this palace nobody protected me” speech and explains perfectly why she said it to Afife.

@shivrcys (tagging you cause you’re just as invested in Hurrem and Afife’s relationship)

i feel bad for saying this but any fan theory that hinges on “[writer] is too good and talented to have done [mistake/plot hole/less than stellar point etc]” is almost certainly setting itself up for failure i really need people to start learning from tljc or perish

I need someone to make a show that’s a combination of Marvel’s What If and Rise of Impers, basically every season is a different what if scenario in history shown and talked about as if it actually happened. There would of course be disclaimers and what not. The first season would be what if ‘Henry VIII died in a hunting accident before the investigation in to Anna Boleyn started?’ Basically the same plot as That Subtle Wreath by EvilFluffyBiteyThing

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12631705/1/. Bonus points if they can get the cast of The Tudors for it.

For future seasons they could do

'What if Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI had been better prepared for ruling France and there was no French Revolution?’

'What if Mehmed had lived to succeed Suleyman, would his brother’s survive. How would that change the Ottoman Empire?’

'What if Turhan had failed in her attempt to assassinate Kosem?’

'What if Franz Ferdinand Wasn’t Assassinated or he survived?’

'What if Joanna of Castile had been able to rule without interference from her father, husband and son?’

Thoughts ideas for other What If’s?

Hatice just straight up doesn’t care about her children, huh… Hürrem, Mahidevran, Hafsa Sultan, Şah Sultan they all deeply care about their children and do anything and everything for them but Hatice is out here mourning some dick. I get it, you loved him but you have children!!!! Think about them, they’re also an extension of your lost lover, love them!!!!! Instead she’s grown bitter and detached

Oh God, I won’t lie, it’s getting to the point where I could write an entire thesis on exactly this. I have a more detailed breakdown as to why I thoroughly agree with all of this that can be found in this ask from awhile back now, but, really, as someone exposed, for however brief a time, how terrifying it can be to be raised by a parent so wound up in their own pain…it’s not good for anyone involved.

I think Hatice loves her children as a fiscal representation of her and Ibrahim’s love and well as the perfect family she created I’m her head. Also any love for them was over shadowed by her obsession and codependency for Ibrahim.

thinking about that kakapo egg that got crushed but the conservation team patched it up and it survived

life will persist against all odds

For those who don’t follow kakapo conservation, they are critically endangered parrots who only breed on years where the rimu tree they rely on meet a certain threshold of fruit production. One breeding season in 4 years can be typical, and about half of all eggs laid by kakapo are infertile (they still aren’t completely certain why, it could be a recent population bottleneck) so each fertile egg is worth its weight in gold.

This was one of only 5 fertile eggs laid on the Whenua Hou island population in the 2014 breeding season and it got crushed by its mother on accident. It was mended with glue and tape and incubated by the rangers until hatching.

At 150 days old kakapo chicks are officially added to the population total and given a unique name, until then they are given their mother’s name and a number for birth order laid in the clutch. This chick was known as Lisa-one before officially being given the name Ruapuke by local indigenous Ngai Tahu people.Here he is grown up:

It’s sad when a species is so rare we know them all individually but at the same time I love that you can point at this one bird and say oh that’s Ruapuke, his mom sat on him too hard

Patreon done goofed.

If you haven’t been made aware, Patreon shat the bed at the start of this billing cycle:

I had quite a few Patrons knocked off the roll this time around. If you got declined or a fraud warning or something, please be patient and try to stay on top of it.

Considering Grady’s health issues, this comes at a really bad time. Pitching in would be appreciated.

An update:

For some reason, Patreon appears to have moved its payment processor to Ireland. This is causing some American banks to see payments routed internationally and they’re flagging the charges as fraudulent.

Just a giant damn mess.
