I'll say this: one thing I loved about this episode is how they showed Lee Ahn's vulnerability and blind trust in the ones he has chosen to share it with.

He's a true Hufflepuff lol all this time I thought he was a Slytherin, and they go and show me he values loyalty above all and is loyal to a fault with others. The man knew the whole damn time Prime Minister was in love with HuiJu, possibly left high school thinking they were gonna get married since the asshole was her friend, and Lee Ahn had zero chances.

And despite all that, despite knowing he was obsessed with his fianceé and then wife, he still trusted the bastard. He really thought there was no way that he, a politician, could be corrupted and act sneakily to serve his own purposes.

I understood something about Lee Ahn, I didn't think I would on the second-to-last episode: how naive he was in thinking people would really be bound by the system they were born in. Because he was. But Huiju certainly wasn't; she refused. And Queen Mother fought so hard to stay in a place she had given up so much for, even sacrificing her child, but she "bought" her way in. Lee Ahn trusted Jongwoo would act like a righteous Prime Minister (as if that even exists). But Lee Ahn was caged by the boundaries the Crown had set for him, and those his father and his brother had left him in. I always thought the best ending was abolishing the monarchy, because our Prince was never really himself or happy in it.

I loved that Huiju was the first to stop trusting PM. As a businesswoman who made her own way into the world, and had always been judged as an illegitimate daughter, a "mistake", deals in numbers and facts. One argument with PM after a terrible incident and too many coincidences and her trust in her friend crumbled at once.

But Lee Ahn really believed Prime Minister was going to act honorably, in accordance with his position. It is naive, but it's also kinda heartbreaking, because he truly saw him as a friend who would act rightfully, without letting emotions or desires cloud his judgment. So sad, and the only thing left for me to say, is that I wish they had explored their friendship more. That first scene they shared in ep 1 did have me believing for a moment they were friends, but then they never followed up on it.

Abolish the monarchy my dude, burn it to the ground. I hope your daddy, wherever he is in hell, is having a terrible eternity.

adil with fadime & eleni | carry you: youtu.be/f6JBWFyeFIU

adil and his girls is one of my fav dynamic of the show and it goes all three ways. he loves them to bits and always shows up for them but this also goes for them. adil is their red line. but also fadime eleni also have such a warm tender relationship - i really hope they give them more space bec lately, it’s just not been there.

I planned on doing a short edit but then there’s so much to love when it comes to them and it was a pain for me to actually leave out things. i love these three so much, i need them to have more scenes together.

#taşacak bu deniz #tasacak bu deniz #i love platonic relationships so much ugh #they’re so good #they need to write them post-accident scenes bec I’m pissed at the lack of it #it was criminal #my edits #dizi

ERDEM ŞANLI & ZEYNEP ATILGAN TAŞACAK BU DENIZ | 20. BÖLÜM

#iso’s soft smile for her is sooo #may he never get ruined #they’re so well written 🧿#it drives me insane #also me liking male characters? crazy #if only they’d apply this good writing to others too #bec I miss my platonic relationships #tasacak bu deniz #isfad

i think probably my fav thing about taşacak bu deniz is the platonic relationships. it’s kryptonite for me and i love how they all play out: adil fadime, adil eleni, esme eleni, esme fadime, fadime eleni, adil iso, esme iso as well (sorry, i don’t vibe with oruc in any capacity). they’re all so tender while being so layered and it adds to the richness of the story.

i was reading this tweet about adil and fadime where the op wrote adil as fadime’s north star who never fringes on fadime’s boundaries. the more i think about it the more i love it bec adil is the reason why fadime is so self assured, capable, and independent. he gave her the confidence to do and be anything without trying to limit her because she’s a woman; without ruling over her like tbd patriarchal culture implies. she’s her own person and adil is there to support and witness her grow up to the woman she is.

fadime can protect herself and also protect him - adil doesn’t doubt it or deny her either. he never violates her boundaries. adil would walk into esme’s space without knocking but for fadime or eleni, he always gives them their privacy and space. he tries to understand them and where they’re coming from even if fadime came back literally married or eleni liking an unavailable/unsuitable man.

when zarife said fadime is kocari’s heart, she wasn’t wrong. the road to adil goes through fadime, first and foremost. she’s the reason he was able to get through those long 20 years; through the grief of his parents’ death, through esme’s abandonment. adil pushed through because little fadime was there and she needed him. he stepped up for her in every way possible and she became his anchor long before anyone else.

this is also why fadime is the only one who has truly seen Adil go through his grief. they know each other best - she knows when he’s sad and lonely, same as he knows when she’s breaking apart even if she’s joking around. honestly my favourite part is that adil doesn’t hide his grief from her - yes, he tries to put on a brave face but he’s still honest. he’s not protecting her from his pain but rather he just lets it be. which basically means he’s been leaning on her too when he’s hurting; that’s why she’s so tuned in to his emotions too. all fadime needs is to look at him and know he’s not okay. this is the only reason why fadime knows his history with esme and how he has been hurting for 20 years.

anyway, the point of this post was to say that i love the complexity and depth of platonic relationships and i hope tbd team doesn’t destroy or diminish them for any reason whatsoever.

#currently working on an edit of adil and girls #it’s given me a lot to think about them #Twitter also giving me some gems about all of this #all my fav tbd chars mentioned above #that one frame of them 5 hugging each other in some capacity is me #taşacak bu deniz

i'm not aro but i find it so annoying whenever i see a well-written, tight-knit friendship & people immediately jump to "they're dating/poly/qpr" like NO. they are FRIENDS. are we familiar with that concept? and it's getting to the point where i am genuinely afraid to write complex friendships because i don't want people to be like "oh this relationship is Too Meaningful to just be platonic" like no??? it's meaningful because it's platonic. ugh

#iso really gambled with his life right here #and he doesn’t even ‘love’ Fadime #like yes he probably knew adil wouldn’t shoot him #but they threw him under the herd #he wasn’t sure what’s adil’s red line when it comes to fadime #anyway oruç needs to learn a thing or two #taşacak bu deniz

Hate what they've done to my girl esme çavuş, she was so formidable (adil is still rightfully scared of her and I love that) to the point that even the furtunas were scared of her. She literally shot adil in the first episode, threatened zarife and şerif too in the initial episodes but now she's just busy trying to keep adil from killing serif and going back to that god awful furtuna mansion on a daily basis. The thing is we KNOW esme is smart, she's not the same naive and scared girl she was when the furtunas manipulated her into marrying şerif (at least I'd hope so). I love LOVED the crazy gleam she had in her eyes during the whole dna test fiasco when she suspected eleni might be her daughter and now she's just letting everything go and ends up giving in to şerif's threat. Don't get me wrong, I know she has something to lose now (eleni) which is why she's being passive but I wished she'd at least done something to get back at the furtunas but no we see her getting cozy with sirin who failed to protect the young esme and oruç who's constantly looked down on her and FORGED the dna test results (again his not only offense). Mind you she's still not confronted Hicran over her whole eleni is my daughter act. In fact now that I think about the most important things and conversations are just being glossed over and it's so frustrating. I NEED to see esme plotting, manipulating and getting back at the people who ruined her life !!!

can i just say my fav part about tbd was esme when I started even tho what brought tbd to my attention were isfad edits but I wasn’t really into them when I started watching bec alll my attention was on esdil but specifically esme and her crazy, raging demeanour. she really did move like she has nothing to lose and it was so refreshing to see an older female character be that way and truly own it to the point that other characters aren’t just scared of the man but also her. it was everything to me.

and now she’s just so dull and scared all the time and I truly wish she’ll outsmart serif or at least do something to keep everyone in line again (especially oruc who has said and done so much shit to her like excuse me can you understand him after you’ve at least held him accountable and given him a piece of your mind??). there’s so much that can be done and nothing substantial is happening - even that stupid gun that they’re not trying to find.

#but I’m still liking and enjoying the show #I hope they fix esme and do something about Eleni #before i reach that point #the writing for female characters have really taken a hit #i need the writers to get back on track #tasacak bu deniz #taşacak bu deniz

Like the Furtunas NEVER listen and then everyone gets mad at Adil for taking matters into his own hand 😭😭

i love how adil has always been insistent on this one thing: why should women pay the price for their enmity? this is why i appreciate that the motivation for iso-fadime marriage isn’t some peace agreement or whatever but rather the only way to protect fadime (and adil in turn, bec he’d have straight up gone ahead to kill şerif).

also it’s so freaking refreshing that iso straight up went ahead and talked to fadime to figure out a solution instead of hiding, planning and beating around the bush. he chose fadime’s life over anything else and the parallel is right there to not notice.

oruc has repeatedly put his family over anything else despite the harm it might cause. he was ready to throw adil in jail for years just to get him out of the way to ‘protect’ his family while adil should just accept what his family has done. heck he literally saw adil esme grieving over an empty grave and said nothing like ??? oruc wishes he was half the man that iso is. that man has actually progressed from ep 3 to 13. while we have oruc still crying and lamenting about how he’s such a bad guy victim mentality (while being weird af and moralising towards esme and eleni both!).

also the only reason he’s been all sevcan murderer blah blah is bec she’s an easy target for him and someone he didn’t want to marry in the first place (also a prick move bec why’d you get engaged to someone if aren’t sure??). he should’ve turned all that ire and anger on his family instead of lying, cheating, and framing people to protect his own.
