 "Hurrem’s Patronage Was Not Limited To These Projects. She Built A Double Bath On The Ceremonial Route

"Hurrem’s patronage was not limited to these projects. She built a double bath on the ceremonial route adjacent to Hagia Sophia in the centre of the Old City, another one in the crowded commercial centre of Eminonu on the shores of the Golden Horn and a khan close to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. She also built a mosque in Ankara, waterways in Edirne, a mosque, a soup kitchen and a primary school in Svilengrad in today’s Bulgaria, and another madrasa in Istanbul. She repaired the Ayn Zubeyde waterways that supplied water to Mecca and she actively participated in the building process of the funerary mosque complex of her son, S¸ehzade Mehmed. Even though she never became Valide Sultan because of her early death, the immense patronage of Hurrem Sultan formed a true prototype for future generations of favourites and queen mothers."

Moon Lovers 1 Year Anniversary Week August 28th: ‘When You Knew’

I was wondering which scene to use, since I couldn’t pin point in my mind at which point I knew I was trash for this show, until I remembered Aisha’s tags: #I CAN HEAR ANISAH HOWLING when she giffed this scene; and I think this was the moment for me. 

Just watching Wang So broke me completely, in this one scene you see what an outsider he is, you see how much affection he has, you see how badly he wants to be a part of it, and you see how much he knows he can’t. 

It’s a slow process even before he begins to smile - first he tries to look away and mind his own business, but he can’t help but smile at his brothers’ antics and its so sweet knowing such a simple moment caused his ‘dog wolf’ facade to break. Which then makes the moment where he and Wook meet eyes, all the more heartbreaking - as if Wook’s attention on him is a reminder that he’s not allowed to share this joy.

So yeah, this was when I knew. Happy One Year Anniversary Moon Lovers!

This is what I need😭

I love seeing men gush about their relationships and the women they love. It’s time for the whole trope of men hating being married/ viewing relationships as things holding them back. Amen for men uplifting their women and their relationship. Amen for men getting choked up and ready eyes thinking about the one they love. Amen for men thinking of the woman they are with as their best friend.
