Tumgik
#cenk is favorite
Ahhh the 2016 election. The compilation videos of people having meltdowns in reaction to Trump winning were quality entertainment. I feel bad for saying that but dam, it was hilarious.
The Young Turks Meltdown is still my favorite. You can actually see the moment when Cenk's soul leaves his body. All 20 times it happens. It's glorious.

The Son Yaz writers did another chat with fans last night (technically early in the morning for them).
Here’s the translation of some summaries I collected from several twitters (@/sonyaz_br, @/Hooooooooppp, and @/aysenlii)
Tumblr media
-In ep6, Akgün lied when he said that he didn’t remember the kiss.
-Canan falling off of the couch in ep5 was improvised.
-When Yağmur couldn’t open the car in ep10, that was improvised.
-There could be 39 episodes in s2.
-Soner’s brother could appear as a character in s2.
-They don’t have a name for his brother yet.
-They’ll show more of Selim and Yağmur’s relationship.
-They apologize for not writing Selim and Yağmur dancing together at the wedding.
-Akgün fell in love with Yağmur when he told her the story about his necklace. He first realized he was in love with her when he saw Kaan and Yağmur back together in the car mirror (near the end of ep4). Yağmur felt a connection to him from the very beginning, but realized she was in love when Akgün left in ep8.
-They’ll have Akgün keep his promise to massage Yağmur in season 2.
-Deniz Dargı said that Akgün is a character that has been cured by the touch of a woman.
-The writers were asked if Selim abandoning the family for years was a form of abuse, they said yes, it was a form of mental/emotional abuse.
-The writers asked the fans who Yağmur resembles the most, everyone came to the conclusion that in terms of intelligence she most resembles Selim, but she resembles Canan when it comes to feelings and emotions.
-They were asked about their favorite characters and they said they could not choose a favorite, they love them all. Deniz Dargı said if she was going to choose scenes that she loves to write, it would Canan and Yağmur’s scenes. Cenk Boğatur‘s favorite scenes to write are Akgün and Selim’s.
-The hug in ep2 was the turning point for Aksel’s relationship
-Cenk Boğatur‘s favorite Aksel scenes:
The hug in ep2
The trash bag in the car trunk scene (from ep3 I believe)
The Pepeçura scene in ep5
The scene when Selim gave Akgün his mother’s letter while they were in Istanbul in ep3
-Cem Görgeç‘s favorite Aksel scenes:
The scene with the watch in ep15
When Selim finds out Akgün betrayed him in ep8
When Selim decides to help Akgün go on the run in ep12
Akgün’s story about the crows in ep12
Them doing the dishes together in ep4
When Selim takes Akgün’s ankle bracelet off in ep4
-“Akgün and Selim’s characters are characters whose fates are very similar, in the past, the present, and the future”
-Soner and Akgün have known each other from when they were kids.
-They decided from the beginning of the show that whenever Akgün wears white, he’ll get into problems.
-They were asked why Akgün’s character had changed from the “self-confident, tough” guy that he was in the beginning. They said, “if you look at the story, it’s the story of a kid going down the path of potentially being a criminal who changes through a family environment. In the beginning he was tough, but he was a man with an outer shell. This is the course of the story, of course Akgün has changed.
-They said that love is not Akgün’s only motivation. Not only is he going through major traumas, but he is also rebuilding his life. He wants to chart his own path.
-When asked whether Yağmur will move away from Akgün they replied, “Yağmur does not hold Akgün responsible for what happened, we have surpassed all of that and I think the bond between them will grow stronger.
-They were asked if Yağmur has forgiven/will forgive Selim. They said she wants to forgive him every time she sees him changing and doing something good for the family.
-They confirmed that Selçuk did not set up Selim. They only wanted to create tension for Selçuk in that scene, for viewers to wonder if anything was going to happen to him, but it was misunderstood. The men Selcuk looked at and the men who shot Selim’s car were different.
-They said that if they were to make Selçuk solely bad, it would have ruined the family bonds they created in the last 21 episodes.
-They complimented Alperen a lot. They said, “Alperen can do everything, drama, comedy, etc. He has a very wide range. He’s not only talented, but he’s devoted to the character. He’s someone who sleeps and wakes up with that character.”

Sen Çal Kapımı 1 - Episode Recap
Tumblr media
To be honest, this series of posts is mostly going to be a fashion roast. But DISCLAIMER! I really do love this show and Turkish TV in general, it’s just my preferred mode of media analysis is to pick things apart. 😂And I need everyone to know that I am very pro-women, and believe people should be able to dress how they want and not be judged for it or be looked down upon for it. But oh my god this wardrobe department/costumer needs to be STOPPED. I also have zero credentials to be talking about fashion, but will that stop me?
I’m going to make these posts assuming you’ve watched the show, and just comment on whatever comes up. There will be spoilers. Let’s go!
We start off with a voiceover from Eda Yıldız, an A+ romcom trope. (It wasn’t until my rewatch that I remembered that Eda used to do VOs at random intervals, and I’m kind of glad she stopped tbh.) She is a strong woman who wants to get her education and become a landscape architect/designer. She was all set to do that until- dun dun dun! - Serkan Bolat destroyed everything. 
Tumblr media
Check out that dart board of a man (and this is the only time we see that photo there). And these outfits are probably the most normal and reasonable clothes she wears in the show. She’s a beautiful young woman, who was a college student, and now works outdoors as a florist. 10/10 outfit. 
Tumblr media
Of course that transitions us into an epic slomo of Serkan exiting his private jet. He of course begins to berate his assistant on the phone in a way a friend described as reminiscent of The Devil Wears Prada.
@teamnick​​‘s commentary back when she first started the show. 
Tumblr media
Serkan returns to his office for the first time in 2 months after working on business deals in London. Chaos ensues: Miranda Priestly is baaaaaaack.
Tumblr media
See... here we have some good fashion choices! We meet the girls for the first time, while they try to sneak off to their graduation without making Eda feel bad that she won’t be receiving her diploma. Melek “Melo” is dressed in a sweet dress with a bold, romantic color, which captures her personality perfectly. Ceren, the rich daughter from a family of lawyers, looks a bit more high-fashion. The dress is short but it has long sleeves and no cleavage so it works out to be chic and elegant. Fifi is unapologetically herself with her full-black, punk wardrobe. Eda is again dressed in a pretty, but casual outfit. Nicely put together for her lower-middle-class lifestyle and her job as a florist.
Tumblr media
Enter: the plot device to get our protagonists together. Serkan’s face says it all.
We are then introduced to the main couple’s respective cars. Serkan has his 2020 BMW (though the show blocks out the copyrighted branding) while Eda’s beat up SUV is clearly unreliable. What’s that? Another plot device being introduced? I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Tumblr media
Also, I just noticed this, but for someone as uptight as Serkan, I’m surprised at how fun his suit jacket lining is. If I’m not mistaken the pattern is of a bunch of rainbow fish. #Snazzy, but they seem out of character?
Plot highlights:
Eda learns she can come back to school and finish her final year, but she’s lost her scholarship and will have to pay. She can’t.
Serkan gives his talk at the graduation (?)-- Is his talk just for architecture students? If so, why are Ceren, Fifi, and Melo there? We’ll never know. I know, I know... it’s all for the ~plot~
Eda calls Serkan out in front of everyone for taking away the scholarship that she earned from his company, Art Life. He is confused but unrepentant. She refuses to tell him her name.
She tries to deface his car with lipstick after keying the side (we never hear about the damage to his car after that). He catches her and wants to call the police, so she impulsively handcuffs them together with the plot devices from Selin’s wedding invitation sitting on his passenger seat.
They then have to go to Serkan’s urgent business meeting with an out-of-town client. Eda drives while they’re handcuffed together. Bickering ensues.
Tumblr media
What is this? Foreshadowing? Symbolism?? Eda’s last name “Yıldız” is the Turkish word for “star” so... file that away for later.
Tumblr media
One of my favorite parts about watching Turkish dramas is the experience of trying to decipher the fan translations. Add to the fact that Turkish only has 1 pronoun *chef’s kiss* 
Eda refuses to take the elevator to the 15th floor (we’ll learn about her claustrophobia later). Serkan is equally as stubborn, saying she owes  him for screwing up his day. But he has met his match in Eda with regards to stubbornness. They take the stairs.
More highlights:
First instance of fake dating - they need to hide the handcuffs from his client so Eda pretends she’s his girlfriend and a fellow investor.
The girls track Eda’s phone to the hotel and try to find her by asking around the premises. 
Eda charms the client into selling his land to Serkan.
We learn that Serkan is allergic to strawberries and has a lot of health anxiety. He’s a very tightly wound person.
Tumblr media
Serkan says “Mashallah,” translator hears 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
Engin brings way too many people to open the handcuffs and chaos ensues.
I feel like nothing can do justice to the comedy of 58:45 to 1:00:00 with Fifi using a bobby pin as a lock pick. The dramatic editing is 👌🏼
Tumblr media
Leyla gets fired for somehow causing this drama??? And she is so happy to leave that stressful workplace omg, we don’t deserve her 🥺
Serkan and Eda go their separate ways, Eda prepared to never see her enemy again, but of course her phone and purse are still in his car so she has to go to his office at Art Life and confront him again.
Serkan has found out that Whoops, Art Life did cancel the study abroad scholarships to cut costs, but his CFO did it without telling him. And Serkan is pissed, but I think mainly about the fact that Eda did have some (SOME) grounds for yelling at him in public.
Tumblr media
Leyla then explains the nonsensical reasoning behind her being fired-but-not-fired and still working. (Spoiler alert: she never goes anywhere and she is my favorite side character to this day).
Eda: “How can I piss Serkan off?” Leyla: “Find a mistake he’s made and he will fixate on it forever. But you won’t find anything.” Eda: “Hold my beer.”
Eda walks into Serkan’s office and his meeting. She gets her purse back and they fight about him not being willing to apologize for ruining her life and education. He refuses and says she owes him an apology for embarrassing him in public (no, dude).
He wants to give her back the scholarship and make it all go away but she rightly tells him that it won’t fix her broken pride from begging the company and her university for a second chance. But somehow her calling him a heartless “Robot” is what gets to him???? And he short-circuits. Eda walks out triumphant. 
Tumblr media
~dRaMa!~
MEANWHILE
Melo, as well as being a perfume sales girl, also works as a flight attendant and wants Eda to cover her shift (we’ll get into how that doesn’t make sense in a minute) 
Eda says no, she’s going to meet her boyfriend, Cenk, who she hasn’t seen in months and has just returned from Italy.
Enter: Selin. Serkan’s ex who he dumped a while ago and is now engaged to the heir of a hotel empire. Serkan doesn’t like this. The two of them grew up together and are set to each inherit 50% of the holding company that Serkan’s father currently runs.
Tumblr media
Right away Selin serves us with a gender reveal level color scheme.  Personally not a fan. They confirm that Serkan is coming to her engagement party tomorrow.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile Eda  meets up with Cenk. Her outfit is still reasonable and cute for her character. He looks mildly like a hobo and doesn’t seem to have anything going for him (I know he’s a throwaway character but the two of them really don’t have anything in common).
Tumblr media
This creeper keeps staring at them, but Cenk tries to explain it away and says he’s busy and can’t meet her again until the day after tomorrow. Eda is disappointed but accepts this. Creeper girl remains and remains a red flag to viewers, but apparently not to Eda.
Cut to later that evening, and of course our broody main man enjoys astronomy in his free time (???) idk what he’s charting and to what purpose but okay? 
Tumblr media
Eda finds a mini first aid kit in her purse that Serkan put there before returning it. Queue montage of them treating their respective wrists for handcuff-related injuries. #couplegoals
Of course we also needed a sepia-toned flashback to earlier that day when the handcuffs contrived their faces to get too close together. #romance
Tumblr media
Finallyyyyyyy it’s morning again and a new day.
Since Eda can’t see Cenk (good, he’s so boring), she agrees to fill in as a flight attendant for Melo, who’s side job is for a private plane company.
Now. This should not be a thing. Eda was in college to be a landscape architect and now works as a florist for her aunt... Where has she learned any relevant skills to work as a flight attendant?? Presumably nowhere. And I really don’t think a private plane company would be so easygoing about just having a random person fill in to cover for her friend? 
But does this show care about that? What do you think...
Also, instead of the standard white shirt, black skirt uniform requirements, the girls decide that this skimpy dress and heels is fine? Hmmm
Tumblr media
Also lol @ Melo for assuming that the client who wants jasmine tea and fruit salad is probably a woman. And her telling Eda that the PRIVATE JET COMPANY would in fact have its own tea was very random and unnecessary. 
Tumblr media
Back at the Bolat house compound, we meet the parents: Aydan and Alptekin. We’ll see them again later. Selin’s engagement party is today. 
Tumblr media
Meanwhile Eda is just.... being a flight attendant, I guess??? And who could possibly be the passenger she has to take care of? Take a wild guess. Of course it’s Serkan Bolat.
Tumblr media
And of course that tiny dress (THAT ALSO HAS A LEG SLIT?? WHY?? I really don’t need to see her vagina) looks very practical and professional... not! (Hande Erçel is a gorgeous human, and the dress looks good on her, don’t get me wrong. BUT THIS IS SITUATIONALLY INCORRECT ATTIRE). Also him just folding his vest and then social distancing from it... K? 😂
Eda panics and doesn’t want Serkan to see her and runs away back to her seat pod thing - Serkan takes issue with his fruit salad for ~plot reasons~ (EDIT: I’ve been informed that it’s because there was a strawberry in his fruit salad and since he’s allergic, of course it needed to be fixed. Why doesn’t the plane have a note of that??) and comes back to find this mystery flight attendant.
Eda is very stressed out about this encounter and is also starting to have a panic attack because, surprise, she’s also claustrophobic. 
After Serkan calms her down, they have a cute/civil conversation for the rest of the flight.
When they land, Eda realizes they’re on an island 2h45min away from Istanbul and she isn’t sure what to do with herself (How did she not already know where they were going, as the FLIGHT ATTENDANT??? So may red flags with this private jet company).
Serkan convinces Eda to come with him and she can hang out at the beach while he’s at Selin’s engagement party.
At the engagement party we finally meet Selin’s fiancé Ferit. He’s sweet and non-threatening and clearly insecure about Serkan being Selin’s ex.
Tumblr media
This dress/skirt outfit Selin is wearing isn’t terrible, but it doesn’t scream rich socialite to me. Anything with feathers seems... a bit tacky/too showy? Like someone pretending to be rich? Idk, this outfit isn’t one I’m going to really take a stand on.
Does this engagement party warrant being a 2h45 min flight away? No. They try to explain it away as the couple wanting to have something small and private, even though they also invite the press?? But okay whatever, as long as Serkan and Eda cross paths again, I suppose.
Kaan Karadağ has been mentioned a couple times in passing, but now we finally meet our “villain.” Ferit’s friend, and Serkan & Selin’s childhood acquaintance, who has it out for Serkan bc he somehow bankrupted Kaan’s dad? Idk and I don’t really care but tl;dr they’re enemies. 
Tumblr media
Another thing I love about Turkish dramas is the censoring. Like, they’ll allow alcohol to be on screen, but they won’t say the word and they’ll just blur out the bottle and any liquid that we’d assume is alcoholic 😂
In the evening, Serkan is tired and wants to leave and Ferit snidely jokes about how Serkan is too picky to have a fiancé of his own. Serkan flashes back to 1 entire day ago when he and Eda pretended to be dating at his business meeting, and says that actually he is engaged to someone and then peaces out.
Serkan finds Eda on the beach, and they are preparing to leave when a crowd of people (Selin, Ferit, and Kaan mainly), arrive to get a peek at Serkan’s new “fiancé.” Eda very reluctantly plays along (good thing she has that unnecessarily sexy “work” dress to help her look the part) and Serkan notices that for the first time ever, Selin is jealous of another woman. #drama
After they finally escape the crowd, Serkan makes an annoyed Eda an offer: Pretend to be his fiancé for the 2 months leading up to Selin’s wedding so he can get them to break up and prevent Ferit marrying into the company. In return, he will pay all the fees to help her complete her last year of studies in Italy.
Eda refuses, stating that she doesn’t want anything from him, and besides she has a boyfriend (Sure Jan; Cenk is such a joke). They have it out and then fly back to Istanbul. But of course the gossips at the engagement have spread the news of Serkan’s new woman so the paparazzi corner them at the airport when they land. 
Tumblr media
So glad that we got to see this random mechanic find out the news (???)
They escape the cameras and Serkan takes her home, saying that Art Life has a press conference tomorrow, and she should come so he can save face and tell everyone that she was his assistant accompanying him for work to the party. Eda agrees. 
It should also be mentioned that Serkan still doesn’t know her name at this point?? She refused to tell him and Engin still hasn’t sent him the names of the scholarship candidates so it’s a bit miraculous that their relationship was at all believable.
The next day, Cenk wants to meet but Eda has to go to the press conference. The girls come too for whatever reason, and Melo is convinced that Cenk wants to propose. Eda just lets that fantasy take hold (why tho?), and Cenk shows up unexpectedly right before the press conference and takes Eda into the nearby hotel’s cafe so they can talk.
Eda seems ready for a proposal (they haven’t seen each other or really communicated in months??) but Cenk wants to break up. Eda is shocked (???) but then Cenk mentions that he has a new girlfriend from Italy that he adores, and oh by the way, it’s the creepy girl from the other night who also happens to be here right now?
Tumblr media
Okay fine, I guess??? Cenk: “She’s doesn’t speak Turkish” Girlfriend: *clearly a Turkish actress*
Eda is upset that he brought his jealous girlfriend with him to break up with her and says something about how actually, she’s seeing Serkan Bolat now (maybe it’s just me being someone who doesn’t follow tabloids, but are business people really that popular in every day society where everyone knows who they are?). Cenk laughs at Eda, saying that everyone wants to be with Serkan Bolat, and that she’s bluffing.
Eda makes an impulsive decision, and walks away, over to where Serkan has started the press conference. And seals their fate as fake dating in the public eye.
Tumblr media
Queue confetti. No really.
Tumblr media
And there we have it. That’s the episode!
In all seriousness, it’s a pretty great pilot, especially for a romcom. It hits all the right beats, includes enough tropes, and tells us a lot about what we should expect in the episodes going forward. And no matter how much I make fun of it, I really do enjoy this show! It’s been such a nice distraction from Current Events. I’ve spent a lot of time watching these episodes just saying “oh my god” out loud to myself as I watch all of the cute/romantic gestures that give me a lot of second hand embarrassment (I forget that PDA makes me kinda uncomfortable 😂).
There wasn’t actually that much terrible fashion in this episode, which I didn’t notice until my rewatch. If I continue with this series of posts, I’m hoping they’ll end up being less plot-centric, and more about the situationally inappropriate outfits and strange subtitling choices. 
See you next time?

SCK/EDSER asks
My inbox was full again, so questions under the cut. Some of these are from today and some are from earlier. 
(asks under the read more)
Anonymous said: Random things that amuse me: 1. When they met, Serkan didn’t seem all that mad that Eda keyed his car but was way more angered by her disdain for him. 2. I always forget about Eda’s ex because I think Eda forgot about him too. Cenk cheated on her and brought his new gf to break up with her, and Eda was more peeved that he implied Serkan was out of her league. (1/2)
The only time he’s brought up again is when Eda pretends to be texting him instead of Serkan (because Ayfer would be madder at her talking to Serkan lol). 3. Whenever Melo is supposed to be mad at Serkan in solidarity with Eda, she just cannot bring herself to dislike him. (2/2)
I LOVE THIS ASK! 
1. I have always wondered about that. Even current, softer Serkan would get PISSED at someone keying his car. He keeps all of his things pristine. You know under normal circumstances he would be infuriated by that and not let it go. The car would have had to go to the body shop and everything.  I think the fact that he didn’t seem all that bothered, other than threatening to call the police of course, is that he was just so gobsmacked by this insanely beautiful, but also beautifully insane, lady yelling at him and handcuffing him that he couldn’t think straight. The fact that she had seriously vandalized his car became inconsequential. 
Additionally, I think when he found out ArtLife had cancelled her scholarship, he became embarrassed and didn’t want to make any more of an issue about it. 
2. I forget about him too. What a tool he was. It also seems a bit out of character for Eda now.  All of her friends and her aunt knew that he was ghosting her, and they made it clear they thought it by their reactions, but Eda didn’t get it? Eda was ready to marry a dude she hadn’t seen for a year? That does not sound like the Eda we know. Independent, fiery Eda? It’s true that she’s grown a lot, but that much? It seems like they designed that relationship to put Eda in the right frame of mind to kiss Serkan on the podium and then, thankfully, forgot about it. 
3. Yes, Melo is all of us. In the early episodes especially, Serkan could be a real jerk, but I know I never held it against him for long, just like Melo.  None of us can resist him, I’m sure we were all cheering her on when she was the one to give up Eda’s Saturday morning location.  And I love it when she calls him enişte. It’s also sweet that he’s fond of her as well. 
Anonymous said: What are your thoughts about Engin and Piril? Sometimes I think they are cute and sometime I just don't think they are meant for each other. I hope Piril's father brings a new story and dynamic that will help us see whether they work as a couple or not.
My thoughts are pretty much the same as yours. In the beginning I really thought they were pretty flat and wasn’t really rooting for them.  Partly because I loved Engin’s character and I was pretty “eh” on Piril. She was so laser focused on work that I didn’t like when she would try and guilt Serkan because he was spending time with Eda. I found that annoying and I thought Engin could have a more interesting relationship (like Melo!).
Alas, that wasn’t to be, however I surprised myself by actually cheering when he proposed, and I really liked their heart to heart talk in the NY episode. On the other hand I wasn’t really charmed by their disconnect when it came to entertaining people. They were SO FAR apart.  Piril was so uptight and Engin so lacksodasical, I think they’ll end up driving each other bonkers and it’s hard to see how that will work, and I’m not sure it’s something I want to watch all that much of. 
Same as you, I’m hope that Piril’s father turns out to be interesting. What’s going on there? Will we find out this episode?
Also, honestly, I’m still pressed they didn’t call Serkan to come to the wedding. (But I assume that had more to do with how quickly they shoot and needing to have scenes without Hande and Kerem in them. H/K were in tons of scenes that episode so it was probably tight with scheduling and they were doing A and B units etc.) 
Anonymous said:  Hi Liza, I hope you are well and you and your loved ones are staying safe. SCK really helped make 2020 better and I'm glad we have the show in 2021 too! Sometimes the letter count in these asks really get to me because I feel like I have so much more to say and ask but oh well. In this ask i just want to say I hope Seyfi and Melo both get their very own happily ever afters. They're my favs and totally deserve it. Leyla too! That actress is so pretty, I wish we got to see her dress up more!
Hello! I’m well, thank you for asking.  I’m not even joking when I saw that SCK was a highlight of 2020 for me. I’m so appreciative for the happy and joyous distraction it’s been over the last few months. 
I LOVE MELO AND SEYFI.  They are two of my favorite supporting characters, and two of the only ones that have stayed at the top since the beginning. Now Aydan is up there with them, but she wasn’t in the beginning, lol! 
Those two deserve all good things. Leyla is also a great character and I wonder what her feelings are towards Erdem. Does she really like him?  
Anyway, I’m not sure what they might be planning for any of them, but I can tell you I’m more interested in how they might end up, than I am with Ceren, Ferit, Fifi, or Piril.  
Anonymous said: This ask may not be worth answering but I've always wondered about Eda's family on her mom's side. I don't think they've ever mentioned it on the show and if they have I may have missed it but it's interesting. It's most likely that her grandparents died and her mom didn't have any siblings but it would be really cool if she did have a family member who understood her and supported her and Serkan unlike Ayfer.
It would be interesting to know, you’d think she would have some relatives on her mom’s side.  We’ll have to see if the show ever mentions it.
Anonymous said: Ok it may be the overthinker in me but unlike everyone else I'm actually worried seeing Serkan wear his engagement ring. If he and Eda reconciled and he knows the truth about her grandma threatening her, wouldn't their game plan be keeping their relationship a secret and not flaunting his ring. But then that's what the fans want, and maybe the writers have a different idea. I'm freaking out with worry that maybe Serkan and Bulca got engaged! But then it looks like his original ring! let's see!
Anonymous said: I'm the one who feared the engagement ring in a previous ask. Well today's pics/videos that show Serkan, Aydan and Seyfi at Eda's home with flowers seem like they are asking for her hand in marriage. It's an assumption but I feel much better. Lol!
See, this is why I always say not to borrow trouble by worrying about the disaster scenario.  Why would he ask Balca to marry him the day after he sexed up Eda? Even if they were hiding it and using Balca for subterfuge, why would they need to go all the way to engaged to do that? 
I’m glad you’re feeling better. I agree that the video posted today with them all at Eda’s house with the flower and the chocolate looks very much like they’re doing the traditional asking for her hand for serious this time! 
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Can’t wait to see them with their rings back on, we’ve been waiting so long. 
Also, I have no idea why they are able to get away with this... maybe Eda found something while investigating that neutralized Babaanne?  At least for the moment? 
Anonymous said: Sometimes I hate being the audience, we know things that the characters don't and I want to yell at my tablet screen. I don't though because I don't want to confirm my parents thoughts that I am crazy, lol! Anyway I wanted to say that I appreciate you and the SCK community because none of my friends watch the show and I'm glad I have people to discuss this with, otherwise I'd actually go crazy. Edser & Hanker & the cast and crew make me happy! They're just amazing and I'm thankful for them!
Me too!  I appreciate the cast and crew AND I appreciate the fandom. There are some very lovely people here, and I’m thrilled that I have you all to discuss the show and ship with because none of my friends or family in real life watch either.  I’ve told many people about it, and sometimes I will drop words or phrases in Turkish that I’ve picked up watching and all they do is roll their eyes at me.  (I enjoy that) 
Also... talk back to that screen, I do. It’s fun. LOL. 
Anonymous said: Thoughts on the fan theory that Eda & Serkan are actually already working together to bring her grandma down? Not sure that I really saw any clues throughout the episode that a scene of the two of them talking together was cut out but guess we could always get flashbacks to show it. I think for me that might make a little sense because how does Serkan not suspect that Grandma flat out made Eda breakup with him? He knows she wants them kept apart, he got arrested and then magically released which coincided with Eda staying away from him, entry of a prince interested in Eda and Eda being chummy with her Grandma 🧐. Or maybe he does suspect all of that but finally understands the risk that she poses to all of them so he agreed to end things? Very interested to see how the show gets us from that heartbreaking breakup to Serkan & Eda being jealous at the restaurant.
My apologies, I know this ask was sent before some of the recent spoilers including the second promo with the... uh... explosion. (sex) So at this point I do not think they are working together, the break up appears to be real. So it will be interesting how the first 2 hours of this episode plays out. I assume the sex will be in the last 15 minutes. 
It looks like Serkan’s tact is to pretend he’s over her and moving on and let that drive her crazy. So I’d say that in order to do that, he has a pretty good idea why Eda broke up with him and knows it’s because of Babaanne and threats against him.
Anonymous said: Can I just say - I really dislike Ayfer. And I just realized that she has had like no growth at all in these 25 episodes. I guess she has an instagram business now? There is such a huge contrast between how they've developed her and Aydan, not only in how they view EdSer's relationship but on their own as well. Aydan is a new woman while Ayfer is still just a hater and a negative nancy about everything. You'd think they'd give her a better storyline with her mother in town but I don't see it
Since you sent this I’ve answered another ask about Ayfer here.  I very much agree with you.  She reacts negatively to everything, I’m not sure why the girls like to hang out with her so much, they have to hide everything and she is like a damp rag covering any bit of excitement. 
On rewatching some of the early episodes, I have noticed that she was negative  from the beginning.  She was even annoying in her first second on screen, when she was waking Eda up to go help with the soil delivery. I hate that shrill voice she uses to say Günaydın over and over again. 
You’re so right that she hasn’t had much if any growth.  Neither she nor Aydan were excited by the Eda/Serkan pairing from the beginning. Aydan was more vocal, but Ayfer was just as disapproving.  And frankly, even though between the two of them, Aydan might have seemed like the more formidable foe to the relationship, Ayfer actually always had more power.  Just because Serkan Bolat is going to do whatever he wants to do and he’s not going to be swayed by his mother’s disapproval, but as we’ve seen in episode 21 Eda is more susceptible to her aunt’s guilt and disapproval. Remember when she asked Eda if she could trust Serkan’s positive assessment of her work because he might lie if he has feelings for her!?! GRRRRRRRRR. 
The other big difference is that once Aydan saw how absolutely heartbroken Serkan was, she completely changed her tune and became supportive of the relationship. Her son’s happiness mattered to her. While Ayfer sat there last week and watched her heartbroken niece and reacted with glee.  Eda’s happiness is apparently not important to Ayfer.  
If indeed the Bolat’s have come to woo Eda, it will be interesting to see how Ayfer reacts.  Will she come around on her own or will Eda have to give her an ultimatum. I wouldn’t mind that, actually.  Give Ayfer a reality check on the way she’s been behaving, just as controlling as her mother. 
Anonymous said:bHey Liza! Thanks for your thoughts on ep25, was looking forward to them today cause you're always rational and I pretty much agree with all you've said lol. The number of ppl mad at Eda/saying her character is ruined is wild, did they watch the same episode?? Eda HAD to end things because of the shit her grandma was pulling, like it wasn't small things she has serious connections, obviously Eda isn't gonna endanger serkan!! I really hope the people being irrational read your answers lol. The only thing that's bothering me about the episodes is that this is supposed to be a romantic comedy and I'm missing that (gotta be honest I fast forwarded thru the Alex ayfer aydan stuff lol) but hoping for some funny Edser stuff at least lol. Also THE PRINCE REALLY DO BE CRAZY lmao
This was also sent before some of the recent schedules. It looks to me like we’re are in for a bit of romance the next few episodes. 
I’M SO EXCITED!!
Anonymous said: the prince is very specifically credited as a guest actor, so i think that maybe he'll only be here for 1 or 2 more episodes max. which makes me think that this arc at least with him directly involved won't last very long. i'm excited about the bombshell to be dropped though because as of right now neither eda or serkan know exactly what babaanne's plan for him is in regards to eda.. and not to mention his other creepy motives that have to do with his dead wife.
I haven’t seen him mentioned in any BTS stuff for 27... maybe he makes his exit is 26? We shall see. 
Anonymous said:  while i understand where serkan was coming from in his decision to not tell eda the truth, it was coming from a purely selfish reason (even he says that) eda's decision is bc of a very real 3rd party threat that would have consequences for serkan's family, business, and his wellbeing. and eda has no time to prepare a plan or anything of the sort; she's basically backed into a corner. i really wonder why serkan is granted so much more understanding in the fandom than eda's character..
I don’t agree that Serkan was coming from a “purely selfish place.”  I don’t remember Serkan saying that and if he did, I’m sure it’s because he’s attributing all his motives to the one he’s most ashamed of feeling.  Because while there was something selfish in not wanting her to know the truth and not wanting her to think of her dead parents when she looked at him, I think it’s clear he was also trying to protect her from those thoughts. He was trying to protect her from the heartbreak of dredging up their deaths, protecting her from having to make the decision to leave him. It was a lot more complicated then just him being “purely selfish.” Remember he inflicted the greatest heartbreak on himself, you don’t do that for purely selfish reasons. 
It would be nice if anytime something went wrong, there wasn’t a knee-jerk reaction to vilify one or the other characters.

RECIPE: Brioche (from The Artful Baker by Cenk Sönmezsoy)
You may not be surprised to learn that the first bread I attempted was brioche. I remember it as if it were yesterday. I knew I was in trouble long before I pulled it from the oven. The smell of yeast and butter filled the kitchen, rendering me powerless. That rich and tender crumb was impossible to resist, and I finished the entire loaf before the day was through.
I haven’t changed a bit in terms of my inability to resist it, but the way I make brioche now is considerably different. I rely on a quick sponge to get a head start, add the smallest amount of yeast possible, and use the best butter I can find.
Brioche dough needs long beating in a powerful stand mixer, which inevitably warms it. If the dough gets too warm, it might prove difficult to blend in the softened butter without it melting. Using cold eggs helps prevent that, but the temperature of the butter is important, too. You should easily leave a deep indentation by pressing your finger into the butter, but it should not melt from the heat of your finger.
Brioche stales quickly, so unless you’re as powerless as I am, you must come up with ideas for making use of leftovers. French toast would be an obvious choice for me, especially at the end of summer when I can cut its richness with a tangy sour cherry syrup.
Makes 1 standard loaf
Sponge
½ cup (70 grams) bread flour
1¼ teaspoons (5 grams) instant yeast
¼ cup (60 grams) whole milk, at room temperature
Dough
3 cold large eggs
1½ cups (210 grams) bread flour, plus more for shaping
2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon (8 grams) fine sea salt
10 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons (5.3 ounces; 150 grams) unsalted butter, cut into large pieces and softened, plus more for bowl and pan
Glaze
1 large egg
Pinch of fine sea salt
To make the sponge, in the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the flour and yeast. Pour in the milk and stir with a silicone spatula until well blended. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
To make the dough, in a small bowl, beat the eggs with a fork until well blended. Add the beaten eggs to the sponge and whisk until blended. Add the flour, sugar, and salt and stir with the spatula until the flour is absorbed.
Attach the bowl and fit the dough hook onto the mixer and beat at medium speed for 5 minutes. With the mixer running, add the butter in five equal parts, beating until completely blended after each addition, about 1 minute each time. After the last addition, beat until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, 8 to 10 minutes. The dough will be smooth, sticky, and elastic. Scrape the dough into a generously buttered large bowl, cover tightly with lightly buttered plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature until almost tripled in size, about 2 hours.
Deflate the dough by pressing down in the center with your fist. Lightly butter your palm and slide it under the dough so that about half of it rests on your palm. Stretch the dough up and fold it over onto itself. Repeat the stretching and folding three times, giving the bowl a quarter turn each time. Roll the dough into a ball in the bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, generously butter the bottom and sides of an 8½-by-4½-by-2¾-inch (21.5-by-11.5 by-7-cm; 6-cup) loaf pan.
Deflate the chilled dough by pressing down in the center with your fist. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces (about 2.7 ounces; 75 grams each). Roll each piece into a tight ball by pulling the sides to the bottom and pinching them together. Roll each ball on the work surface under your cupped palm until they are perfectly round and the bottoms are sealed.
Place the balls sealed side down in the prepared pan, making two rows of four balls. Cover the pan loosely with lightly buttered plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until the dough reaches the lip of the pan, about 2 hours.
About 30 minutes before the dough is ready, set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
To make the glaze, in a small bowl, beat the egg and salt with a fork until frothy. Using a pastry brush, apply a thin coating of glaze to the dough, taking care not to deflate it. Wait for 5 minutes, then gently apply a second coating.
Bake until the top is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 190°F (88°C), about 35 minutes.
Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes, then unmold the brioche directly onto the rack to cool until it is barely warm.
Storage: Brioche is best the day it is made, but it will keep, wrapped airtight, at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Like I fully admit going into the show, I was CemNed and then I multishipped Cemre with Cenk and Nedim. I think it’s because Cemre was able to add some layers to Cenk that doesn’t make him plain evil like his mother. But now I’m like 90% CemNed and 10% CemCen. What stops me from committing to CemCen is how he never takes responsibility for his actions. He expresses guilt but he doesn’t own up to it. How can I ship CemCen when he’s the father of Ceren’s baby and let Nedim take responsibility. (1)
Like there are small moments where I feel bad for Cenk, but ultimately, they can’t be taken seriously as a ship when he’s hiding all these secrets from Cemre in fear of losing her. He’s just a boy, when Nedim is a man. (2)
When he tried to choke Nedim, I lost my sympathy for him. He might be a victim of his mother at the age of 8, but he is a grown up now. He knew what his mother did to Nedim, but he did nothing. He actually helped her. His fears always overcome his remorse. So, in conclusion he is not a good man. I don’t pity him, he chose “silence”. He is responsible too for Nedim’s lost years.
I absolutely agree with you about that “boy-man” topic. I think Nedim is aware of this too and using it against him as an insult. Especially in this episode…
And this scene is a proof for that, also that’s why it’s one of my favorite scenes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nedim: I and my cousin rode around Bosphorus. Didn’t you tell your mother?
The subtle meaning of this line is just brillant. He’s a good player in their game. He is saying straight to his face “you’re such a mama’s little boy, you really didn’t run to her and cry because of me as always?”
And also a normal Turkish person would say “Didn’t you tell my aunt?” but he doesn’t really use that word if not necessesary. His word choices are very meaningful too. He is like, you two are nothing to me, we are no longer relatives.
My boy…
This is not the only scene that he implies that Cenk is not man enough. And we’re coming to another favorite scene.
He tricked Cenk into coming with him to the hospital. Little did Cenk know they were actually going to Ceren’s doctor appointment. You know, this scene is actually hilarious especially “who is the father?” part. Except two people, everbody in the hospital room knows Nedim is not the father but they disgustingly play along. He knows their lies, he knows their games, he knows how they lower theirselves for their benefits. And he just smiles at their faces.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When the doctor asked who the father was, he first turned his head towards Cenk, enjoyed his uncomfortableness…then he just said it was him.
This is the 2nd time he insulted him. By owning the kid actually he said, “Even though the child isn’t mine I am ready to do this, but you, you even don’t have courage to accept your own kid, are you a man?”, yeah I think Cenk has a dilemma here. And Nedim made him realise what kind of person he turned into.
He gives Cenk a taste of his own medicine. Cenk once made him feel worthless and now Nedim is doing the same thing to him.

I’ve been observing a lot lately how some people who speak to an audience (who I don’t know personally but have access to through, say, YouTube videos) come across to me as subtly but palpably more authentic than others. “Authentic” might not be the best word to refer to what I’m going for, but after racking my brains on and off I haven’t been able to think of a better one. The people who I read as “less authentic” still appear sincere on a superficial level and probably are mostly sincere in whatever message they’re preaching, but somehow, very subtly, something seems a little performative in how they’re preaching it, as though they have to deliberately drum up some of the emotions or convictions they’re trying to display and which wind up coming out sounding almost-overly-polished and “professional”. The difference, as I said, is subtle, and it’s hard to point to exactly what makes me distinguish one subset of people from another -- it’s almost a “sixth sense” thing.
Here are some examples from YouTube of what I mean.
In the realm of cartoon enthusiasts, Josh Strider feels fully authentic (and that has a lot to do with him being one of my favorite YouTubers). NostalgiaCritic does not. (I’m too lazy to look up his real name or watch the full video that I linked to, although the first few minutes indicate that he’s more obnoxious than usual.)
In the realm of recreational drug users sharing their experiences (yes that’s a thing I enjoy watching nowadays), CgKid (warning: very frank and vivid discussion of the darkest aspects of drug addiction in this video) feels fully authentic despite his rather monotonic delivery. PsychedSubstance does not.
Famous political commentators/comedians whose performances I see vary quite a lot on this axis. Examples from the “fully authentic” subset include Jon Stewart (but not Trevor Noah) and Cenk Uygur and Anna Kasparian (but not all of the other members) of The Young Turks.
And Jordan Peterson, with all his faults (both in his beliefs and in his personality), never, ever fails to come across as fully authentic. Occasionally, like in this video (start at around 2:07 to see what I mean while cutting past a rather disturbing scene), other people on stage with him provide a contrast by, well, just somehow very subtly but distinctly not coming across this way.

I fully believe there is a small country somewhere powered by Cenk’s emo.
My favorite part was when he told Cemre he is a monster who pushed his cousin out of a window, her reaction was not the expected by him horror and revulsion but rolling her eyes mataphorically at his dramatics and using her abundant common sense to point out that he was 8 and a child!!!!!
I love this crazy show!!!
