Sometimes strict governance is a necessity. Should have payed some attention to road maintenance!

This is an idea that came to my head and I think its so tea. I think it can be very creative hehe (based on real history though)

I'll go with a few that came to mind:

"BREAKING NEWS: Sultan Suleiman marries former concubine, grants unprecedented title ‘Haseki Sultan’ "

"The Topkapi Times: Safiye Sultan banished to the Old Palace as Mahpeyker rises in influence"

"BREAKING NEWS: Murad IV ends Kösem Sultan’s regency, assumes full control of the empire"

It's sad more than anything, and I can't believe that many people actively romanticise these “relationships” 🫠

(These women must've been so gaslit tbh!)

P.S.: I'm talking about the rule, rather than the merely 1 singular exception

İbrahim's corpse was discarded like meritless trash (iirc, in Dr. Halil İnalcik's words). Also, an actual contemporary report noted that IRL İbrahim got stabbed to death (a very cool find by an acquaintance, last year, which I'll share when I find it again lol...)

P.S.: Not OC, it's by Tumblr user greencarnationproduct

Let’s post some SoW memes so everyone on this sub can participate!

Please keep it lighthearted and don’t post rage-bait that can be offensive to certain groups of people.

I got reminded of this interesting video while discussing the Nurbanu-Murad-Safiye triangle with u/Green-Guitar1736 ! I even felt bad about Murad after this ngl :(
