do you ever just get so proud of Sansa out of nowhere?? Like I’m just going about my day and then suddenly I remember how Sansa Stark, who started off as an adorable dumpling that nobody really expected anything of or even liked, became a badass bitch machine that protected her family and her people and now runs the country her brother died for?

Because I get like that sometimes.

KÖSEM SULTAN WEEK | day 1: early life 

According to tradition - but without actual contemporary evidence - the future Kösem Sultan was born as Anastasia, the daughter of a Greek Orthodox Priest. She was kidnapped by pirates and given to the Beylerbey of Bosnia, who then gifted her to the Imperial Harem. There she was given the name “Mahpeyker”, meaning moon-faced. Since it is traditional for concubine names to be about the girl’s personality or physical appearance, her name may have meant that she had a round face and possibly very white skin.
Mahpeyker may have been around the same age as the future Ahmed I who, according to Venetian ambassador Contarini, noticed her among his mother’s retinue during the end of Mehmed III’s reign. The two had a sort of dalliance before being discovered by Handan Sultan, who had the young concubine beaten up and sent away.
Mehmed III suddenly died at the end of 1603 and, with Prince Ahmed’s ascension, young Mahpeyker was called back to the Imperial Harem, where the two “rekindled the old love”.
Mahpeyker changed her name into Kösem right after becoming Ahmed I’s favourite, said Italian traveller Pietro della Valle. Her new name meant leader, and he believed she had chosen it because she had managed to outrank the other consorts.
