HISTORICAL QUOTES

[palaceoftears]

I was watching the hu scene for something entirely different and gosh how didn't I realize this was a part of the parallels between their first attacks to other concubines??? The concept of the person who gave you your name taking it away from you and not recognizing you and what you stood for... I fear Nur saying Suleyman is a father figure to Mahidevran keeps on delivering

But I am the girl I've always been!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOL <3333 @palaceoftears

Me and the girlies decided that this year’s theme for your birthday would be Hatice and upon consideration I remembered our conversations and thought about how much you love the gothic theme in Hatice’s life so I cooked up something with that. I also have a bonus edit which will be uploaded shortly as well 🤭

Thank you for being in my life and engulfing all of us around you with your endless warmth and sunshine just like your namesake the sun <333 you’ve been with me through thick and thin and I have endless appreciation and gratitude for that. you were one of my saving grace and the reason I found my community in here. thank you for being a huge inspiration in my life. thank you for bringing new colours into a show that is so dear to me and make me appreciate it more. Thank you for your endless support and your love. amigos para siempre, mi sol <33333
