Interesting how Sumbul has more empathy for Sadika than Nigar does. I guess it shows just how the harem is steeped in internalized misogyny. I mean, it is inevitable considering the system of the harem itself. All the girls end up enslaved in terribly traumatic ways, before they step foot into the harem. Then they’re basically grouped on attractiveness with the classically beautiful girls becoming concubines and the others entering into harem management/service. If you become a concubine, your entire worth is tied into your ability to bear children for a man you can’t consent to having sex with.

On the other hand, it does show that ,despite his opportunistic and self-serving ways, Sumbul can be empathetic. That’s not even including the fact he is in charge of these girls. I don’t know many who couldn’t begin to care for someone they had to take care of, especially since Sumbul likely shares similar trauma to the girls he takes care of.

Yes, he does make himself out to be a bigger hero than he was but I truly believe his anger towards Boncuk Agha is genuine and his concern for Sadika is as well. I mean, he wants Boncuk to be punished for this.

I never thought I’d be happy with anything Ibrahim does but executing a rapist and shielding Sadika from being victim-blamed was a real good thing, considering how misogynistic the time period is.

At one time, I really liked this series and many of the characters. Mostly female, but among the male - eunuch Sumbul is beyond competition XD

scorpion-flower watches Rise Of Empires: Ottoman 1x1

Let me guess, not a lot of f*cks are gonna be given on the depiction of the Byzantines, right? History is written by the winners, the Turks won and this is a Turkish production...

Also, the guy who plays the Grand Vizier is the guy who played Sumbul Aga in Magnificent Century? YAAAAS 👏

And finally, let me guess once more, the women are there only to look good and not to act. Tuba Buykustun being there is a good indicator of that, since she has pretty much built her career on that 😅

What’s your favourite Hürrem friendship??

Hürrem is in a very dangerous place in which she has to fight to survive. So that means she will use her friends if it is to her and her children's advantage. That said I liked her friendship with Hatice and Nigar Kalfa. But both of those fell apart. I also kinda hate Hatice and thinks she's very spoiled and selfish but I liked it when she and Hürrem were nice to each other. I think she has a good relationship with her servants Nazli, Nilüfer, and Esma. I didn't see much of season 3 or 4 but I also like her relationships with Afife Hatun and Sumbul.

How do you find the relationship between each sultana from SOW and their trusted eunuchs (Hurrem&Sumbul/Nurbanu&Gazanfer/Safiye&Bulbul/Kosem&Haci/Turhan&Suleyman)? I loved Hurrem and Sumbul by S04 when he truly became devoted to her, I feel he also looked for his interest after valide's death in S03, similar to Haci somehow, but I always felt that Safiye never got that close as the other sultanas to Bulbul, or is just me or perhaps her cold personality (she loved power above all after all)

Hürrem and Sümbul is clearly the relationship that got most attention and development and it was an interesting turn in both Hürrem and Sümbul's characters. The fact that their cooperation began in the end of S02 is very fitting, because that was the season and the arc of status-quo changes, a point where they both were searching for allies. The strive of Hürrem's to find loyal servants was presented as far as the beginning of the season (and by the point Sümbül came over, she already had the first political ally in the face of Iskender Celebi) and Sümbül, who tried to be in every sultana's good graces until then, sought his interest and benefit and then the two crossed paths in a small, yet crucial moment. Their relationship did undergo an evolution: it was interesting how such a well oriented in the harem, yet servile character who was known for pleasing all the forces in the harem (SS, Valide, Mahidevran, Hürrem) and move back and forth between them, ended up becoming so loyal to one person to the point of fully bonding with them.

On one hand, Sümbül's servility is one of the things I enjoyed the most about him and I agree that S03 is the more dry part of their relationship, there it was more of a normal dynamic between a sultana and an eunich who has to fulfill her orders, so to say. Sümbül's transition to loyalty to Hürrem was more gradual: first he went with her out of necessity and not really having a choice after the convincing words of hers ("do you want to be loyal to Mahidevran and be a part of the past or do you want to be a part of the future?" or something like that), then he stayed because there was no other sultana currently residing in Topkapi and only focused on doing his duty and then he bonded with her over time. His relationship with Hürrem and S04 overall revealed a big vulnerability of his character: he had bonded to the castle, to its rules and games, to Hürrem so much that he felt miserable for betraying her secrets to the spy by mistake and for ever upsetting her, he let himself tell her that part of his story he would probably never want to recall otherwise and he couldn't handle leaving the harem and her service. Maybe he adapted so much to the system that he had to go by the waves and forget what's morally right and wrong or thought only Hürrem could understand him or how he felt, at least for a while. Hürrem also had an evolution regarding him: first I feel she treated him closer to Rüstem, demanding loyalty and obedience and only in S04 she could open up to him and fully appreciate him. I loved their calmer scenes the most (especially when they drunk coffee together 💓), these were the points they could relax and escape from the hierarchical boundaries even for a moment and they showed that they actually like to be around the other outside of orders and obligations. The scenes with Sümbül contrasted with the otherwise quite ruthless S04 Hürrem and were a good breathing room after all the tension and densely-packed plot of the season. I do really like them, this is one of Hürrem's best relationships (which far outmatched Afife and Fahriye, imo).

Nurbanu and Gazanfer are probably the dynamic most similar to Şah and Mercan (which is my favourite eunich-sultana relationship, btw, for the way they complemented each other and how unique both of their characters were) due to the unrequited love Gazanfer felt for Nurbanu and him willing to die for her. While Hürrem and Sümbül had more mutual soft spots for each other, here Gazanfer is the one with the soft spot: we see how dedicated he was from the very start. By contrast, I think Nurbanu didn't view him as so much more than her loyal, trusted aga. Not that she didn't appreciate him at all, of course, and she by no means would want to lose him and was certainly moved in a way by what he thought of her and how far he was willing to go for her, but there wasn't much of a feeling or bond concerned here, probably because of Nurbanu's colder and more pragmatic nature. For me, she was the one that bonded the least with her eunich, compared to everyone else. We didn't see all that much of them, though, and we had more usual interactions between an eunich and a sultana only with a few distinct scenes here or there, more later on than early on. Again, while Nurbanu was moved by his dedication, we saw her demanding him to quickly come to his senses for his own good and pretend everything's normal or else he may be in trouble. Nurbanu wasn't much in the mood for bigger sentiment that didn't include her love for Selim, since her arc was more about at least repressing her human principles bit by bit. (by killing Nazenin, a person who has been with her before coming to the castle, losing a precious thing to her - her dog, and then questioning whether a father could kill his son, and then motivating Selim to fight that war without so much scruples etc.) I wish we saw more of Gazanfer and her, to be honest, even though they're fine like this too.

Safiye and Bülbül are fascinating. Safiye indeed is a cold sultana, heartless to her own enemies and willing to keep her power at any cost, discarding any kind of morality or moral responsibility that comes with this power itself, but her scenes with Bülbül, along with her reaction to her children's deaths and her first scene with Hümaşah, were the more vulnerable and human parts of her character. We had scenes where she scolded him for something going wrong or when she demanded something of him, but they were as much as them looking more like close companions, compared to Safiye's other relationships. The way she talks to him outside of the times where she scolds him is just different and her appreciating so much him and his loyalty is a side she rarely shows. It's clear she cares for Bülbül and that despite of all, she has given him a reason to care. Bülbül is the eunich most attached to his sultana - look at the amount of genuine feel: he's happy for her wins and sad, devastated by her losses and while he certainly had a soft spot for Kösem, he would never give Safiye up, ever. He would always believe in her and stand for what she stood for. He cherished her with all his heart and that is moving, this guy has a heart of gold and he should get all the happiness he deserves and get out of this horrible harem!!

I always viewed Haci and Kösem as the relationship most built by time. It's like in the end, Kösem is glad he's with her for all these years and the fact that in the end it was Haci that stayed with Kösem when even Kemankeş refused to go through poisoning the little Mehmed in the finale (though his loyalty to her, to the real her never wavered), was also meaningful for me in the way that Haci has accepted to be with her until the end, no matter what she did. What's unique about both of them is Haci being more of a voice of experience for Kösem. He would be there to recall the past since he has seen nearly everything in this harem. (like he did once recall Handan's fate) He is a person that would seek interest like everyone else, of course, in S01, but he did have a loyalty before Kösem, to Handan and he was moving to Kösem when that was gone. I don't think she began to trust Haci in S01 all the sudden, but by S02 we saw the mutual trust they shared. Kösem could also be calm and laid back with him, I feel she could forget about her problems for a bit in his company.

I don't have much to say about Turhan and Süleyman. Just like everything with her and her character, I couldn't feel any sort of emotion and it was all about the facade of hers she had to keep for a goal. She was relying on him to do his duty and be loyal to her and that's it. I couldn't see anything genuine in her. Süleyman himself seemed glad to fulfill her every need and was considerate with her, but that's about it. Their dynamic was underdeveloped, even though the interactions they had were not so little. It was still close to a functional dynamic when it comes to Turhan.
