The problem of Magnificent Century: The screenwriters diabolize too much Hurrem, Mahidevran, Nurbanu. In fact they take up the cliché that the “evil woman” caused the fall of an empire or a country. For the empire of Rome it is the fault of Cleopatra (false), for the fall of Granada it is either the fault of Isabel de Solis or Aicha el Horra (equally false). And now for the Ottoman Empire it is firstly the fault of Hurrem (since the series almost entirely blames Hurrem or even Mahidevran, the sisters of Suleiman for the death of Mustafa even if fortunately Suleiman is not spared), Mahidevran for having killed Mehmed (another times false historically it is sure that she was relieved just as Hurrem was relieved of the death of Mustafa due to the fratricidal law but no proof for either of them of intrigues to kill the son of each other), Nurbanu is blamed for the death of Bayezid (once again historically false, Bayezid himself signed his death warrant). All this for not blame the real cause of the falls of Empires, for the Roman Empire I would abstain from the real reason because I do not really master the subject but it is 100% certain that Cleopatra had nothing to do with it , for the Ottoman Empire the main reason is that the jannissaries wanted to meddle too much in the affairs of the Empire and when the military meddles in the affairs of the country it is never a good sign and it can precipitate a country towards its fall ( for example you only have to look at Bonaparte's government, in the end the Bourbons returned to power and France lost practically all of its territory while during the revolutionary period from 1794 this country had managed to repel all its enemies that whether outside or inside even if there were excesses of the Terror it remained a democratic country and not a sort of military dictatorship for me or at least an extremely powerful authoritarian regime) , the fact that Suleiman made too many useless conquests and from the wrong side unlike his father (even if some historians think that the beginning of the fall was under Murad III especially after the death of his mother), etc… So no connection between theses womans and the fall of Empire Ottoman. It's frustrating to see this writing from Magnificent Century because there was the potential to make so many excellent, complex and very intelligent female characters (we see Hurrem's intelligence in MC but only for the plots and even if we see her charity, the screenwritters didn't show her diplomatic skills , her correspondence with Poland, her good political advice, the same for Mahidevran who was historically a very strong and intelligent woman, we could have seen something else from Suleiman's sisters if the screenwriters had respected their historical facets instead of playing the role of the "bad" step sisters even if I really like Hatice and Shah Hubban) I would have liked a historical series that didn't whitewash male leaders by wrongly blaming this country's problems on women. When will there be a series without sexism and which does not glorify aggressive military conquests (and I am talking about a series produced by its own country which would unreservedly denounce its own conquests)? I'm exaggerating and there are certainly works that do that like GRR Martin but I find it very little especially since it is inspired by many historical events.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @sparxaf!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have too many love interests so here’s five 👀 four of your favourite love interests. Will you be able to pick between them?

She had four different boys, all of whom wanted to kiss her at midnight. She just had to pick which one. A part of her hated that she had to choose between them at all, but this wasn’t some ‘Choose your own adventure’ story. She couldn’t just choose one option, then go back and replay another option to see what might’ve been.

“One minute to midnight!” Chels yelled, popping a fresh bottle of champagne and taking a swig from the neck.

Hope curled her arm around Misty’s waist. “So, Sparkles, which ending do you want?”

I was already having a rough day. And this is really sad.

Working on Love Island the Game wasn't always easy in a variety of ways, especially at the end, but even after most of us were laid off amid dramatic circumstances, more than two years ago now, it was nice knowing that some people enjoyed our work that was still out there.

The Season 3 episodes and scenes, and the ones I edited, were my first experiences in a game studio team (shoutout the scenes with Tai, Rafi, and Lily that were the first pieces of writing I did on the game!). I learned so much from that, from The Wedding, Chelsea's Murder Mystery and The Boat Party, from all the prototypes and ideation that never went anywhere (that wonderful Regency-era Noah art... sigh...), from how the characters and storylines came together for Season 4 aka Bombshell (I loved coming up with the original concepts for Bruno, and Oliver, and Juliet, and Lexi, and Tiffany, and Valentina, and Kobi, and Hazeem: absolute joys to write and to see other writers bringing them extra sparks of life, and to do the same with helping bring other writers' concepts to life, and to start doing all sorts of exciting senior role stuff). It was very sad and stressful when it turned out that we couldn't be there to complete Season 4 in as polished a way as all of us wanted.

I'm still friends with many of the people I worked with on Love Island the Game and our other projects, and the things that didn't end up going out there, and I've worked with some of them since which was an absolute pleasure. I saw a lot of them earlier this month, and chatted with one on a video call just this morning. The way it ended for us was very painful, but a lot of it up to that point was so much fun.

There will still be some of the work I did for Love Island the Game out there in Season 4/Bombshell. But what a shame that a huge chunk of the work we all did, and the work before my time that got the studio its audience in the first place, turns out to be so ephemeral.

Thank you to all the people who played and enjoyed the work we made.

As someone who spent so much time (and money) playing S1 to S3, I'm so very sad for the way FB decided to discontinue the original app. I feel so much disrespected by the way FB handled all of this situation with a very short notice. Sorry, but if they are trying to pull that stunt in order to promote the newest seasons, I can guarantee they're going to fail miserably because the newest content from FB is nothing short of toxicity and trash. After December 11th, I'm not returning back. I'm done wasting money and time on FB. Though I'll miss most of the S1/S2/S3 cast, I moved on THTH and Coupled Up! or kind of.

On a more positive note, I managed to screen record the whole Villa!Henrik, the S1 reunion with the Rohan ending and a CMM speedrun doing a Lottie route (though she broke up with me for doing bits with her in the cellar 🤣). I'll share the recordings as soon as I finish editing the videos and upload them on YouTube as soon as I can and share the links here.

After hearing that FB is going to ✨revamp✨ the first three seasons, I'm going screen record villa!Henrik completely. I started yesterday, and I have recoded fully from day 5 to 11 🤗

I'll open a YouTube channel to upload all my progress as soon as I can because I'm focused on record the whole route first. The links will be soon on my Tumblr profile.

I'll do Rohan and Allegra's reunion at S1 and Henny's wedding in S2 too.

✨Meet the Too Hot To Handle Season 1 Cast ✨

⚠️ My impressions:

It's kind of implied that the majority of the cast is at least bi/pan.

Everyone it's kind of romanceable except Jada and Justin. You can develop friendships with them and the relationship levels may vary depending about your interactions with them.

MC's personality can be shaped by her responses. She can be more 'naive' (yellow bar), flirty (light blue bar) or being more bolder (purple bar).

Like friendships, the red romance bar also has levels (crushes, infatuations or romance).

This is my main MC who's romancing Theo:

Aiko | She/Her | 27 | From Florence, Italy | Tech Entrepreneur.

Flirty | Art history lover | Bold.

Main LI: Theo.

Besties: Jada, Dakota, Henri and Liam.

Aquarius sun | Scorpio moon | Leo ascendant

Half Italian / Half Japanese.

If there's something I've learned from Johnny Depp's trial, it is that we need to believe all victims. Just because you're a woman, doesn't mean you can't be an abuser. I'm glad he stood his ground and won. If people care so much about domestic abuse/violence, they should be more aware of the damage AH did with her manipulative bullshit and lies to actual and less privileged victims of DV, like my mother back in the day.

Fuck you AH and your toxic white feminist ass.
