I forget how creepy Mehmet is when he leers at Meleksima
"From the middle of the fifteenth century, and possibly earlier, when a prince left the capital for his provincial governorate, he was accompanied by his mother, whose role was to preside over the prince's domestic household and perform her duty of 'training and supervision' alongside the prince's tutor." - The Imperial Harem: Women and Sovereignty in the Ottoman Empire (Studies in Middle Eastern History) by Leslie P. Peirce
Judas Kiss (n.): Any act of treachery under the guise of kindness
"There is no other place on Earth where you can enter the harem a slave and become a Sultana who rules the world."
“Can the sun and moon hang in the sky at the same time? Forget the harem, we are too much for the same world. It is you or me.”
Two things I remember watching MC: Kosem
- How creepily Mehmet stared at Meleksima sometimes.
- Kosem's hilarious unbotherdness when Safiye was dying.
"Validem...is it my fault that my heart beats?"
Magnificent Century AU: A murderer is terrorizing the seemingly impenetrable harem of the sultan. No one is safe, not the lowest of concubines, the precious Şehzades and sultanas, or even the valide sultan. Who is the murderer? A crazed eunuch? A concubine bent on revenge? A jealous haseki? No one can sleep...no one dares be alone...no one can be trusted...
Ekin Koç got super into his role as Sultan Ahmed
He roughed up some of those actresses.
