very interesting how when firuze is seducing suleiman, she displays a lot of the same behaviors that hürrem does when she's with him. both women make declarations of being worthless, of being meaningless without suleiman, of their lives belonging to him, of their sole desire being to please him, and of their sole concern being his love. both women also very much downplay their pasts before they came to the harem, and make a point of announcing that suleiman is their "destiny" in some way: hürrem when she tells him "i came to you from across the sea, i am yours," firuze when she claims that she saw suleiman in her dreams long before they met. of course, hürrem is more sincere in these things while firuze is coming from a place of deliberate calculation, since she's a spy aiming to kill suleiman. i'm not sure if it's accurate to say that she's consciously mimicking hürrem, since there's no way she could observe how hürrem acts in private with suleiman, though it's certainly likely that she paid close attention to the things hürrem said about or to suleiman in her presence. but i do think firuze is good at reading people; that she intuitively grasped the kind of behavior that suleiman would gravitate towards and put on an act accordingly around him. anyway, i find firuze fascinating and it's cool to consider what might have been going through her head all that time.
we're not going to get into how it says absolutely nothing good about suleiman that that behavior is the type of thing he finds attractive in his women, lmfao. suffice to say that if this show was more self-aware and handled better, the narrative would actually address how narcissistic suleiman can be in his romantic relationships as part of his character's "complexity"

We all know that Ezio liked and appreciated Suleiman. He even tells him that he'd like a son like him. Keep this in mind for a sec.
Tumblr media
What name Suleiman uses to cover for Ezio? - Marcello
Tumblr media
The same name Ezio gave to his son.
Tumblr media
Suleiman named Ezio's son.
Change my mind.

Ibrahim and Süleyman 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Absolutely an otp, of course. Noone else in the show has it like them. (Hurrem and Suleiman have it different, not worse, don’t kill me hahaha) The absolute romcom soulmate au violin first meeting? The poetry? The diary full of hidden love confessions? The jumping to his death of the most ambitious and self centered man to save a life of his loved one without a second thought? The mighty sultan, broken and crying, trying simultaneously to fall asleep and to never sleep ever again? The first night with Hurrem where Suleiman immediately after sex starts talking about how cool and perfect Ibrahim is and refuses to shut up about it even after they’re dressed and eating, so Hurrem has to physically shut the guy up?
The slow corruption of their relationship, the distrust and fear; the failmarriage that was supposed to fix things but just made them so much worse; the power that was supposed to make them closer, almost equal, driving them apart; the impossibly huge power disbalance that Ibrahim was unable to overcome, the slave status that hurt him and made him even more of a horrible person, the huge trust issues they both have, to the point of Ibrahim sleeping with a dagger under his pillow every night even in the very beginning, ready to attack, and Suleiman having several murder attempts on him before even becoming a sultan; the loneliness they both felt even though surrounded with people — that Suleiman had Hurrem to lift that burden of his shoulders partly, but Ibrahim hadn’t such a friend/love/person; Ibrahim never calling Suleiman by name in his diary, not allowing himself that closeness; their last night and Ibrahim haunting the story and Suleiman’s life long after his death — I can’t not be fucked up about those two even if I try. :D

This copy, made mostly in the late 11th century AH/ seventeenth CE, is based on the later expanded version. It contains 240 maps and portolan charts.

Mi Estambul, mi Karaman
Mi amor que vale más que toda Anatolia y Roma
Mi Badakshan, mi Klichak, mi Bagdad
Mi Korasan
Mi amor con hermoso cabello
Con cejas de arco, ojos que queman
Ojos misteriosos a lo que soy adicto
Si muero tú serás responsable, porque me atormentaste al entrar en mi sangre.
~Poema de Suleiman a su amada Hurrem.

that awkward moment when your slaveowner/sultan/boyfriend asks you why you support his eldest son's claim to the throne despite said eldest son being the son of a concubine that you have no connection with, instead of the eldest son's rival, who is the son of the concubine whom you yourself brought to the harem and presented to him. and you can't tell him it's bc you had sex with said concubine you brought to the harem and presented to him around the same time that she got pregnant, and so her son might not be his son after all but instead your son

Francis and Suleiman
When Suleiman led an attack on the Habsburg stronghold of Vienna in 1529, he wished for a sympathetic ally within western Europe who might be interested in forming a partnership against the loathed Holy Roman Empire. Francis therefore found himself treading the line between public adherence to his Christian faith, both celebrating the Turks’ retreat from Vienna in October 1529 and continuing underhand dealings. If pushed, he might have claimed that his interest lay in protecting Christians in eastern Europe, but this would simply have been a ruse. Informal talks took place between the French and the Ottomans during 1530 and 1531 which came to the attention of many throughout Europe. Thomas Cromwell remarked that no Christian scruple would deter Francis from bringing the Turk and the devil into the heart of Christendom, if it would ultimately enable him to recapture Milan. 
This was an exaggeration, but only barely. As Francis stated to the Venetian envoy Giustinian in March 1531, ‘I cannot deny that I keenly wish to see the Turk powerful and ready for war, not for himself – for he is an infidel and we are all Christians – but to weaken the power of the emperor, to compel him to make major expenses, and to reassure all the other governments who are opposed to such a formidable enemy.’  Thus, as Francis made much of allying himself with the pope against the infidel, he continued sending his ambassadors to meet with Suleiman, at a time when intelligence suggested that the sultan was preparing to attack Habsburg territories in central Europe. Francis contemplated his options, knowing that, while a Turkish assault of that nature would benefit him in the short term, it would also solidify Habsburg support. He therefore sought an alternative strategy. 
When the news came that Suleiman was planning another attack on Austria, Francis was ready with his alternative scheme of an Ottoman invasion of Italy. The ideal outcome for the French king would have been for Suleiman to attack Charles V within Italy, weakening the emperor to the point where Francis would have been able to invade, with guaranteed success, and to present himself as a defender of the Christian faith into the bargain. But the Ottoman army was met with defeat, Charles V made a triumphal entry into Vienna at the head of his army in September 1532, and the plot’s details were common knowledge. As a result, Francis’s claims to be regarded as ‘The Most Christian King’ could now justifiably be mocked by his enemies, who instead made much of his alliance with the dreaded Turk and now called him ‘The Executioner of Christendom’.
