Sally's Topics (17)

When reading the reunion of Hatshepsut and Senmut in the new chapter, Youtube on my computer was playing a bittersweet song talking about the love between Elizabeth I of England and Robert Dudley, about how they loved each other but couldn't be together because of the different status, as well as the possible dangers for the queen to get married...maybe that would also become female pharaoh's relationship with her favorite architect/advisor in the future manga contents, since they too had close ruler-courtier relationship and historians suggested that they might be lovers...

Happy women’s day Pharaoh/Lady Hat!!
You are remembered as one of the influential females in human history!!

now i am looking forward to the scenes of mahidevran beating up hurrem and suleiman got really furious at his first wife (which ofc resulted in mahidevran's banishment), and also the part when hurrem was the empress but she got freak out when two russian mistresses were introduced to suleiman, and suleiman loved hurrem so much that he quickly sent those newcomers away... according to the documentary and historical records those things happened in real life. but in order to make those things happen in the manga, shinohara must let suleiman and hurrem truly love and care for each other, so i wonder when will hurrem fall for the sultan in this story? rn she still has feeling for ibrahim and she only admires suleiman for his intelligence, and never viewing him as a romantic partner despite having three kids with him... suleiman always called hurrem to spend night with him just like the way he did in the history, still i remembered him saying that he would not care about the fight between hurrem and the other concubines, which means if he truly loves hurrem then he should not behave like that. in this manga hurrem may develop a special feeling toward the sultan in the future, she may only care and love him like a family member, merely as a marital partner and the father of her children, just like the relationship between louis xvi and marie antoinette. if they will fall for each other in the end, maybe the love sparkle will start if the artist design that suleiman got seriously injured from the battles or hunting, and hurrem stands out to nurse him until he recovers? or maybe they start to realize their affection for each other when they find out more of the mutual hobbies they have? or if their youngest son cihangir is diagonised with humpback and other illness, and since they both feel anxious and care for their son, then they start to have the feelings?
seems like it still takes time for hurrem to finally love the sultan, but i believe everyone including me wish to see the true love taken place between those two, bc in the history suleiman loved hurrem from day one until the end.

I actually went to a restaurant to celebrate that damn pharaoh's death after the new chapter was out, now the queen finally has her own right and the freedom to take lovers (experience true love for the first time).

After reading chapters 1-3 about her not being satisfied with the position as a mere queen consort and the ornament that used to satisfy men, I come up with a song that is used by a Disney princess movie Beauty & the beast, here are the lyrics: Madame Thutmose! Can’t you just see it?! Madame Thutmose! His little wife! Ugh!! No sir, not me! I guarantee it! I want much more than this restricted life~ I want to be the leader who brings glory~I want more than I am now~ For once it might be mad, to have someone understand... I want so much more than they’ve got planned...
Bad lyrics and bad wordings l, but I just want to express mc’s feelings lol

This manga is about Cesare Borgia, one of the members of infamous Renaissance family Borgia, and when hearing about this family name, I recall a song from Horrible Histories about the family:
"Lucrezia, Giovanni, Gioffre and Cesare. Italian barmy army, the Borgia Family! Our daddy was Rodrigo, I had a monstrous ego; where he makes trouble we go, the Borgia Family~"

Feel like Hanji definitely lied about levi’s status, because if he was truly dead, she did not have to panic when the soldiers wanted to check him, also Hanji did not have to carry Levi and swim away with him... Levi might have some last breaths but whether he would survive is unknown. Because the normal human medicine does not seem to have strong healing effect on such the weapon wounds, also letting him drink titan seroum would be uselsess since Ackerman could never be turned into titan... if levi’s Internal wounds were too great then he might not be saved, and if he survived he would end up as an invalid with a missing arm/hand and right eye, and would quit the job as a soldier l...

Zeke really underestimates Levi!
He thinks that by turning Levi's comrades into titans, Levi would never kill them, and that he will end up dying!
But he is wrong, because Levi is not a person who can be easily ruled over by his feelings and heart, and he is trained to face the comrades been sacrificed while on the mission to the outside world; although he appears to be sad deep inside when some people die.
Also Levi says he has been slaying the innocent people for dozen of times, and I think that is right. Because in the past years, he had always been slaying the titans who were nothing but the innocent civilians at the beginning. This can be the reason why he does not hesitate to eliminate the comrades, he has to survive and there will be no way to save those soldiers in the future.

I am concerned about levi’s life, but I am also looking forward to the part when historia has her baby born, I want to see what the child will be like!

I remember this June I watched a documentary about a group of scientists finally founded Hatshepsut’s missing mummy. When lots of people believed that she was assassinated, the scientists used the CT scan and found the tumors on lots of her organs, she also suffered from tooth disease and gouts and diabetes. In the end, it was the tooth disease which caused infection that claimed her life. Imagining her final days must had been really painful to her, to endure the tortures from lots of diseases... Also in the 16th year of her reign, she lost her lover senmut and her daughter nefer, the two dearest people in her life... she was in the end alone and miserable
The historian Kara Kooney as Zahi Hawass said that she was a strong woman by looking at her mummy, and I think she is, for she was an amazing female ruler who stood firm and still in countless difficulties and loneliness, she was better than most of other male rulers and she set up an example for the future queen rulers like empress wu, queen Elizabeth I, and Ekaterina II, etc (Although those future queens knew nothing about this ancient queen)
