To the persistent provocateur who has been harassing me for weeks:
You will not get what you are looking for.
The position is clear: mine is mine. Yours is yours.
I do not ask for apologies for anyone’s identity. Nor do I offer apologies for mine.

In S1, Cüneyd distributed the first iftar feast to the poor, while Zeynep bought holiday clothes for the lodge’s girls. In S2, Meryem organized an iftar feast for privileged NGO women and bought holiday clothes only for herself.
#CünZey | #MeryemTezel | #KızılGoncalar
Remember how Meryem was against Zeynep being financially supported. She disapproved of Zeynep buying holiday gifts for children & for having a spouse who is financially secure
KG ended with her inheriting her son-in-law’s money while also having access to 2 other men’s finances
For our girl Zeynep to simply exist with her hair uncovered outside the bedroom she shared with her sister, Seçkin had to move to the countryside, Suavi had to go blind, and Levent had to die. So much for “home”.
#ZeynepTezel | #KızılGoncalar
Suavi in episode 17 says Zeynep doesn’t feel at home. If she gets the chance to, she will run away and never look back. Levent respond with she’ll get used to it…
Here’s to hoping it actually manifest in the next couple of episodes!

The torn sleeve on his favorite robe is a metaphor for a crack in their relationship. The wish for it to return to him in better condition than before reflects a desire to repair it. The choice and the needlework are left to her.

@marsiv97 I don’t know about others, but on my deactivated account, I got blocked after commenting under a politely written critique that I agreed with it.
People are allowed not to like certain things. I see toxic positivity and empty hype as stupid, so what? I don’t like the name the actor I like is supposed to work with, and I won’t stay silent about it just because it upsets his fanatics. I’m not a sheep.
#DizilandConfessions
I don’t want this. I don’t even want to think how much this guy will once again kill all the actors’ creativity.

Mert Yazıcıoğlu ile Ömür Atay “Kızıl Goncalar”dan sonra yine mi buluşuyor?
♦️Son olarak “Kuruluş Orhan” da Orhan Bey’e hayat veren Mert Yazıcıoğlu’nun yeni projesi merak konusuydu. Kulislerden sızan bilgilere göre Yazıcıoğlu, TMC Film’in Netflix için hazırlayacağı yeni bir proje için görüşüyor. Dizinin kod adı “Aras”…
♦️Aras'ın yönetmen koltuğunda çok özel bir isim oturacak. Projeyi “Kızıl Goncalar”ın ödüllü yönetmeni Ömür Atay yönetecek. Eğer anlaşmalar sağlanırsa Mert Yazıcıoğlu ile Ömür Atay “Kızıl Goncalar”dan sonra yeniden buluşacak. 👇

With the exception of a few names, I’m not a fan of KG’s creative team. Especially N.Ş. (the head writer) and Ö.A. (the director). I still clearly remember their interviews, posts, and how badly they handled criticism.

@MissPotato69109 She had already lived in that world for three years after being expelled from the lodge. Yet she complained she couldn’t get married because she was too conservative for some and too modern for others. Desperate to fit in, she betrayed herself time and again.
When she first spoke about women’s clothing, I thought she meant only her lodge’s overly strict rules. But her real issue was the hijab itself, not clothing. She and Meryem share the same split: wanting a secular life but fearing to live it.
#BirgülTezel | #KızılGoncalar
@silkksatinn It was meant as a critique of Cüneyd’s supposedly reductive ideas about human nature, like when he told Zeynep that women’s rights shouldn’t infringe on men’s. The script consistently promotes an Oedipal fantasy of a crypto-matriarchy (the “soft power” of women like Meryem).
A woman who, with the selfless help of Beste Alkanlı, got an education, job, home, ran a blog, and published a book, ultimately became a “Meryem-ified” homeless case, playing maid in other people’s home, forever waiting to be saved by men.
#BirgülTezel | #KızılGoncalar
Why didn’t Birgül go back to work? She was once an actual strong independent woman and not just a propaganda tool. Wasn’t she a teacher before all of this why is she just sitting around now?
@zeyneplius She may have defended him in front of Levent, yet to his face she practically called him a madman. In the end, she still saw him as an animal, while Selim was a good soul in her eyes.
@silkksatinn The worst part is that she was written to be seen as a positive character. The level of audience manipulation in service of certain social agendas was frightening, despite the story’s strengths.
Meryem was jealous of Cüneyd because he was living the life she believed should have been hers. They were both orphans brought to the lodge after losing their parents, yet only he was raised by the murshid’s family as their own.
#MeryemTezel | #CüneydGüneş | #KızılGoncalar
i can never forget meryem trying so hard to replicate cüneyd's aura lmao look at her 💀 how embarrassing 💀 the fact that she was giving a "sermon" yet cüneyd had to intervene after every sentence bc everyone knew his power and words are always gonna be above her cahil ass 😩✋
@silkksatinn A grown, mature woman? Meryem was only five years older than Cüneyd, yet she remained emotionally frozen at the level of a spoiled toddler, likely due to NPD or BPD. Her servility toward older men practically begs for a Freudian analysis.
@MissPotato69109 LevMer could never be the “voice of good” for me, no matter how much the writers tried to frame them that way. Two hypocrites, rotten to the core, yet convinced they were saints. They needed psychiatric treatment more than Cüneyd ever did.
One of the most dangerous writing choices was putting truth in the mouths of disliked characters. It kept being dismissed not because of what was said, but because of who said it. Especially when ethics, morality, or religion were involved.
