Favorite episode of the entire run of Kardeşlerim. ❤️ I love AyBer.

Kardeşlerim Ep 69

Gather around my fellow Ayber stans for today our suffering comes to an end. For months, the writers pushed an ugly crack ship down our throats and we were forced to watch so many disgusting scenes. I had an aytrash stan lurking on this blog and for two months I received so many asks making fun of Ayber which I deleted but that ends today! Raise your glasses full of all 5 aytrash stans tears 🥂 and let’s celebrate our babies getting back together🥳

After Omer learned that Ahmet is his father, he was so sad. Omer said he had one father and it was Vali. Omer mentioned his father’s name and Berk was at the party so I am guessing he heard him and he might put two and two together when he watches that cursed video on his dad’s phone.

Leyla heard Oglucan talk about the bet and asked Berk if he brought her to the party because of that. Berk denied it but in the end he told her that she also wanted to go out with him because of Susen and Omer. Leyla asked him what was the prize for the bet and he said that it was money so she slapped him. She said she’s not going to tell Tolga.

The next day at school, Afra poured water on Sarp’s face because of what he did to her at the party. Sarp told her that Oglucan lied and that there wasn’t any bet and Berk lied and said that Sarp was right. After Afra left, Berk told Sarp that they should stop the bet but Sarp said that he wants to continue. Berk couldn’t’ tell him that Leyla knew about the bet.

Later, Berk saw Leyla in the corridor. Berk apologized to her and told her that he didn’t tell Sarp that she knew about their bet. Leyla was hoping that he didn’t tell him. Leyla and Tolga are saving money to get out of their father’s house and while Tolga is working at the restaurant Leyla is not working but she was hoping to tutor some students. Unfortunately, no one has called her yet. So, she told Berk that she will help Berk win the bet against Sarp and he will give her half the prize money. Berk was surprised at first but then he agreed.

During the break, Berk asked Leyla if she was sure about her decision and whether she was trying to trick him. She told him that her brother and her needed the money. Then she saw Sarp looking at them so she started laughing and acting like she was having fun with Berk. She touched his hair and he was like what are you doing??

She said that Sarp is looking at them, so he understood and started laughing.

At that moment, Aybike came to school and saw them. She looked shocked. Berk and Leyla didn’t see her.

Later in the evening, Aybike and Asiye were sitting together in Aybike’s room. Aybike told Asyie that she saw Berk and Leyla at school and they were so close. Asiye told her: “so you got jealous?”. Aybike told her that she wasn’t jealous because she ended things with Berk. Asyie told her that she probably misses Berk and Aybike kept on denying it. Even Asiye saw through her BS. She was like okay if you say so 😂

The next day, Sarp wanted to humiliate himself so Afra can forgive him and he can continue the bet. So he went to the costumes room at school and dressed up as a clown. This is the freaking clown spoiler, it was about Sarp. This was a dumb plot twist. He came to the class dressed as a clown so Afra can see him.

Leyla texted Berk: “This show is because of the bet right? You guys are really disgusting!”

Berk texted back: “I agree! We are!”

Aybike saw Berk texting Leyla and she got jealous.

After class, Leyla asked Berk if they were going to lose the bet after Sarp’s clown show and Berk said that if Sarp continue like this then he will definitely win.

Leyla: “So what’s your plan then?”

Berk: “This”

Berk: “Come on”

They walked while holding hands in school.

Aybike saw them. She was so shocked and sad.

She told the others that she forgot her notebook in class but she went to the classroom to cry.

Sarp saw Berk and Leyla holding hands. Berk texted him saying "Game over bro. Bring the money tomorrow if you don’t mind"

Leyla asked Berk if Sarp was going to bring the money tomorrow and Berk told her that he texted him. Leyla said that even if he brings the money tomorrow, they will separate/break up. Berk told her not to worry and that they were only acting, it’s no big deal. Leyla said that this benefited him since he was trying to make Aybike jealous. Berk told her that she must be joking because Aybike left him and she does not even look at his face anymore. Leyla was confused and told him that Aybike looked upset when she saw them holding hands just now and he was surprised. She also told him that Aybike asked her about him at the party and if there was something going on between them. My boy couldn’t believe it: “Aybike was curious and asked you about me, right? Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”

Leyla said that she didn’t because Aybike told her that she wasn’t mad at her but after seeing her reaction earlier..

Leyla: “Berk!! Aybike still loves you probably!!!”

Berk: “YES”

Leyla: “YES”

Berk: “or she wouldn’t have asked you about me, right?”

Leyla: “Right!”

Berk: “and you said she got upset now! omg this girl probably still loves me!! Thank God!”

Berk: “Thank god but she saw us like that earlier… god damn it! what am I going to do now? This time she’s really not going to look at me!! I hope she didn’t leave school yet”

Leyla: “RUN!!”

and he went to look for her but unfortunately she already left. She went to the beach.

She and Berk came to this place before.

They were throwing rocks in the water and Berk was winning because he was throwing them farther than hers.

Berk: “Would you be sad if we broke up”

Aybike: “Why are you asking this question now?”

Berk: “I don’t know! I feel like you’re going to say: “No, I won’t be sad, I won’t be in pain and you will be stubborn about it” “

Aybike: "If we break up, I will definitely be angry and then I’ll come here and I’ll secretly scream and cry. Probably! Maybe! So don’t be too happy!”

Berk: “How can I be happy you crazy? Is there something good about breaking up with you? If something like that happens, I will lose my mind, okay?”

Aybike: “Okay”

Berk: “My beautiful”

then he told her that she won and she said no she wants to continue until she wins and he was like “okay okay" 😂

*Back to the present*

Aybike screaming at the sea: "He will lose his mind! He will lose his mind! He will lose his mind if we broke up! You said you were going to lose your mind!! So why didn’t you lose your mind!! How will you lose your mind?? How?? ”

Aybike: “I hate you! But you know how to go and hold someone else’s hand immediately! you know how to go and hold someone else’s hand immediately! I hate you! I hate you! Stupid! Stupid liar! Stupid liar!”

Berk came behind her and heard everything. He threw a rock in the water and Aybike turned and saw him

Berk: “If you believed that I forgot about you, then you’re the stupid one”

Aybike: “What are you talking about? ” and she pushed him

Berk: “I never forgot about you, Aybike”

Aybike: “I am sure you didn’t! I am sure you didn’t forget about me! That’s why you came to the party with Leyla! That’s why you were holding her hand earlier, right? because you never forgot about me”

Berk: “That’s a different topic”

Aybike: “What do you mean different? different how? different how? Isn’t she your girlfriend?”

Berk: “No she isn't”

Berk: "She isn’t my girlfriend, I swear. She is my friend. But you got jealous because of her and now, thanks to her, I can look you in the eyes, Leyla might be my favorite friend right now ”

Aybike: “You were holding her hand today, Berk.”

Berk: “That was to make you jealous. It was stupid”

I wish he would’ve told her the truth here. Now, I have to worry about what’s going to happen when the truth about the bet will be exposed 😭

Berk: “do you not believe me? call Leyla and ask her then, ask her if it was true or not, or wait, I will call her since you don’t believe me”

Aybike: “don’t call her! don’t call her”

Aybike: “So there is nothing between you two?”

Berk: “Nothing! There is nothing, I swear! After I broke up with you, or to be more correct, after you left me, I didn’t look at any girl, I stopped smiling, I lost my joy of living, I stopped living, I lost my mind, I lost my mind, can’t you see the state I am in? You never saw that?”

Berk: “I never stopped loving you Aybike! Never!”

Aybike: “You’re such an asshole! You’re really an asshole! You made me go through things like heartache”

Berk: “what do you mean by things?”

Aybike: “some things that I don’t understand and I don’t know anything about happened to me. I was really hurt, Berk! I was really hurt ”

Berk: “I am sorry Aybike! I am really sorry!” and then he kissed her head

Okay but can we talk about how sad he was because she said she was so hurt after seeing him hold hands with Leyla 😭

Berk: “But you didn’t even want me, I didn’t think that you would be this sad! I couldn’t forget you! Not even for a moment”

This line made me tear up 😭😭😭

Berk: “But you destroyed me! You ended me!”

Berk: “Look, never leave me again! Please! okay?”

Aybike: “Okay”

and then they hugged again. He kissed her head again but this time it looked like he was breathing her in.

Berk: “I missed you so much Aybike”

I love how happy she is and how relieved she looks when he’s hugging her 😭

First of all, this scene was so beautifully shot ❤️❤️ Can we talk about the close ups!!!! Because Recep and Melis play emotional scenes so well, I felt like the close ups were the right choice for this scene. Recep really was right when he commented with a fire emoji about this scene because it was 🔥🔥 You know what was missing in this scene? A FREAKING PASSIONATE KISS!!! but okay I won’t complain about this from now on, I know we’re never getting one.

So, Berk told Aybike that he held Leyla’s hand to make her jealous. He didn’t tell her about the bet and I don’t like this. The truth will definitely be exposed later😭

After that, Berk took her home but Tolga was there lurking around the house and he saw them.

Berk: “I love you so much, my Aybike”

AHHHHHHHHHH I missed hearing him say “Aybike’m" ❤️❤️❤️

Aybike: "I love you so much too”

Berk: “I will see you at school then”

Aybike: “See you then”

and then he kissed her.

Can we please talk about how they didn’t want to let go of each other!!!

and her little wave and his happy/relieved expression ❤️😭

While Ayber were being happy Tolga was doing his dramatic act in the background.

Tolga: “How? she said confess…She said be a hero”

Let me explain to you what this dumbass meant here. Earlier that day at school, Tolga told Aybike:”a close friend of mine from school likes a girl but he’s not sure about what the girl thinks but if you look closely the two of them could actually be close friends" I am just going to pause here and ask WHAT??? close friends??? him and Aybike?? I have never seen someone so delusional as this guy !!

Tolga continues: “But he’s thinking: "What if I confess to her but it doesn’t go well, what should I do?” “

Aybike: "He should immediately confess! Think of this like ripping a band-aid off of an injury, you can’t rip it slowly, you have to rip it quickly. Yes, you might get hurt but you would’ve taken the band aid off, in the end, you’re going to get rid of it. Did you understand what I mean? and whoever thinks about the ending can never be a hero and girls like heroes. He shouldn’t hide his feelings; he should confess asap”

Tolga: “Aybike, this friend of mine is actually…” and Aybike cuts him off saying that she needed to get a map from the faculty room and she left

Tolga: “This close friend of mine is me”

He was really going to confess right there lol. Anyway, he bought flowers and went to her house to confess to her but then he saw her with Berk and he was like:

“How? she said confess…She said be a hero”. I am pretty sure the advice she gave was for “his friend”. How can he think that she meant “Oh yes you can confess to me, I can’t wait" I am just??? I am confused here???? He was so mad and I am pretty sure he was so pissed at Berk because the way he looked at him was so scary.

Please stay away from him. I feel like he’s going to do something to Berk! and this time Tolga will either end up dead or in prison. I feel like his end is near.

Okay but now that Aybike and Berk got back together, what is going to happen to the bet? I don’t think Leyla will tell everyone about the bet but now she can’t get the money.

They tried so hard to make Tolga look romantic today but all I got is just creepy vibe from him. Him telling her that she didn’t put her hair in a bun since a couple of weeks, the collage they made for him and the way he was talking with himself about how he’s going to confess to her. Ugh it was so creepy and the happy music made it creepier and look at the cover they made for that scene!!! call the police now!!!!

There was no teaser which was weird but they put Ayber on the cover of the episode for the first time! We really deserved this win today!

I hope we’ll only see happy scene for Ayber from now on because those 11 episodes really drained me and I need my happy Ayber back. I wonder how Tolga would feel when he finds out that his sister helped Ayber get back together

I was just asked for songs that make me think of the fanship #AyBer aka Aybike and Berk on Kardeṣlerim on Queen Raven's Tumbler page, and I immediately had an answer. I recently heard this song Sweet Blue by Cleo and I thought of AyBer as I think it fits them very well.

Lyrics

I love you more than once, a thousand more lifetimes Just because I'm young it doesn't mean I'm dumb I'll sit here and stay like it's a holiday 'Cause every day with you makes my day a sweeter blue Oooh, ooooh, ooh You wanna wake up, smile at the day, huh Feel like I'm at the cage I hop right out, hmm My phone's engaged, I find myself walking out this maze, guy My sunny face shines at the sky 'Cause it's so blue, ooh Ay la la la la hey La la la la hey La la la la La la la la la la Hey, yeah, oh My mother told me what to do without her, saying (Don't give into the masses, don't give into the masses) My mother told me what to do without her, saying (Better to smile than let it get you down) D-d-d-darling, darling please keep your head up to the sky It's beautiful outside And the sky just seems so blue I love you more than once, a thousand more lifetimes Just because I'm young, yeah, doesn't mean I'm dumb I'll sit here and stay like it's a holiday 'Cause every day with you makes my day a sweeter blue A sweeter blue, yeah babe I believe you are a star, don't get lost in who you are Everything the sweetest blue, everything to me, and I'm everything to you I believe you are a star, don't get lost in who you are I believe the sweetest blue, everything to me, and I'm everything to you I believe you are a star, don't get lost in who you are I believe the sweetest blue, you're everything to me, and I'm everything to you Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Cleopatra Zvezdana Nikolic / Cover Dean Josiah

Tozluyaka---Give Arap a Love Triangle too

Arap (Sinan) is one of three surviving newcomers on the relatively new Turkish television show, Tozluyaka. I describe Arap, Ali, Vefa, and Zeyno (Zeynip) as the newcomers, while I describe Berk, Ḉagri, Cemre, Ege, and Hazel as the established group among the teens. Duru would also be part of the established group, but her character is not listed as a main character, at least not yet. Then there are all the parents.

After the initial episodes summarized the relationships before the newcomers and the established group came together, we have seen two of the newcomers become part of a love triangle. Zeyno is in a love triangle with two of the established group, Ḉagri and Ege. While Ali is also in a love triangle with two of the established group, Cemre and Berk. Technically, Ali is in Cemre’s love triangle, but Ali is still in a love triangle. Arap has been set-up in a romantic relationship with Duru, while Hazel is the only one remaining of the established group to not be part of a love triangle with a newcomer.

So, a love triangle between Arap, Duru, and Hazel would complete all the pairings between the newcomers and the established group. That said, I would not suggest pairing Arap and Hazel just to complete pairings, I want Hazel to join a love triangle with Arap and Duru because the chemistry between Arap and Hazel is fire. On a show that has an impressive amount of chemistry among cast members, the chemistry between Arap and Hazel is my favorite among favorites, and I want to see more screen time with Arap and Hazel. I almost don’t care what Arap and Hazel are doing in their scenes together: they could be fighting, annoyed, sympathetic, calling each other out, etc. I just want more scenes with Arap and Hazel.

That said I do really like the scenes between Arap and Duru too. Hence, I want a love triangle. Arap and Duru are just so sweet together, and I want to keep them sweet. It would be nice to have a normal relationship shown with Arap and Duru, doing sweet things together, while we as viewers get to feel all sweet and nice while watching them together.

So, back to Arap and Hazel, I was totally blown away by their chemistry in that scene when Arap visits Hazel at her home, and the scene had the perfect blend of comedic timing, physical fighting, shock, and heartbreak. A well written scene, kudos to the writers, but even more kudos to the actors portraying Arap and Hazel. So I was re-watching the scene right before I went to sleep, and I wound up dreaming about Arap and Hazel. I was so disappointed when I woke up, and realized that I what I had dreamed did not happen on the show. At first, I thought I had gone way off tangent in my dream, but then realized that I probably just got ahead of the script.

The way my dream went for my Arap and Hazel scene is that Hazel was paying attention to Arap because she was pining for him. They are in like a gym setting, my dream was not specific. Arap is talking to Duru, and Arap is totally focused on Duru, so Arap is not paying attention to anything around him. Hazel notices a flying object about to hit Arap, and runs over to Arap, pushes Arap out of the way, but is hit by the flying object in the process. After being medically examined, Hazel has a slight concussion and is visibly bruised. When Arap checks on Hazel later, Hazel asks Arap if she can recover at his house for the weekend. Hazel doesn’t want to go home because her she is worried that her Mother could get in trouble with her Mother’s employer if she spends too much time taking care of Hazel, and Hazel doesn’t want to go to any of her friends’ houses, because it would take energy to keep up appearances, Hazel figures that she is not worried so much about what happens at Arap’s house, plus part of Hazel wants to spend time with Arap.

In my dream scene, Arap reluctantly agrees to let Hazel stay at his home, Arap cancels his date with Duru, Hazel enjoys the view with Arap that Duru mentioned was a great view. Arap is equally annoyed that is missing his date with Duru while sympathetic to a vulnerable Hazel.

Then later, in my dream scene, Arap figures out that Hazel is trying to blackmail someone over a secret, finds out what she knows, but then is persuaded to keep the secret, which forces him to spend more time with Hazel, and keeps him away from Duru. I know that this doesn’t quite make sense, but that is how my dream went, then I woke up.

Like I said earlier, I am actually kind of ticked that my dream scene was only a dream. I don’t expect my dream to happen as a scene, but I hope for something similar to bring Arap and Hazel together, while being an external threat to the happiness of Arap and Duru.

As for personalities of Arap and Hazel, they are opposite in ways that need each other. Arap is laid-back while Hazel is high strung. Arap is completely comfortable in his own skin, while Hazel is definitely not, trying to be something that she is not. Hazel needs Arap to help her become comfortable with herself, and to realize that money won’t solve her problems. Arap would actually pair well with a reformed Hazel. As for where they are alike, they both have intense personalities that don’t back down. Their energy levels actually match each other.

I have re-watched other Arap and Hazel scenes, and they are definitely setting them up together. However, there is no guarantee that they will be put together on the show. They might be just testing how the audiences react to them. So, I request to the powers that be for the show Tozluyaka, please build a relationship for a love triangle, you can take your time building it, and please more scenes with Arap, Duru, and Hazel.

Thanks. Gayl

My First Tumblr Post

Hello, I am Gayl Killough, and this my first post on Tumblr. I live in the United States. While I have many interests, I am going to try to focus my posts on Tumblr on Turkish entertainment. I have been watching Kardeṣlerim clips for over a year now, then watching the show when Season 2 started. I had been interested in Turkish shows for a while, but Kardeṣlerim was my first serious attempt to watch a Turkish show properly, as whole entire episodes.

Wow, I did not realize what I was getting into. I feel like my ability to follow the Turkish language has improved immensely over the past year, but it is still like I understand bits and pieces as fragments, then I string them together using context. I also still read the comments and blogs that translate the show into English, as I don’t understand everything. I do feel like that I at least understand the gist of things.

Writing the Turkish language is much more difficult for me, but I am starting to write simple comments in Turkish. If I have a more complex thought, I still need to write my comment in English, and hope the translators work out well enough that other people can understand my comment. Importing special Turkish letters has had mixed results with lots of technical difficulties, but I am trying to do better.

I did not plan to wait so long to write my first post on Tumblr, but with the new season of Kardeṣlerim approaching soon, I thought I better write my first post, and since Kardeṣlerim is what inspired me, my first post should be about Kardeṣlerim. I discovered Tumblr because of a Kardeṣlerim post from alwayzraven, and it feels like a safe place for me. I have met some great people that are fans.

I started watching Kardeṣlerim last summer with AsDor (Asiye and Doruk) clips, as I was recovering from surgery that removed part of my colon due to Stage 1 colon cancer. Therefore, I had some extra time, and it made sense to finally watch Turkish television, as I had been meaning to do. By the time that I was starting to understand clips from the show, Season 2 debuted. I watched the entire first episode of Season 2, episode 19, and I was completely clueless. I then watched the last episode of Season 1, I was still clueless. I started to watch episode 20, and stopped, because I need to go further back first. So I watched Episode 17 from Season 1, and that is when it clicked for me, so much finally made sense to me.

Watching Episode 17 is also when I fell in love with Aybike and Berk, and I became a huge AyBer fan. I still really like AsDor as a couple, and I like SusOm too, but AyBer is what I love most about the show. The chemistry between the actors Recep Usta and Melis Minkari is unique, as I have never seen anything else quite like it, and therefore they make Ayber extra special for me.

As I was watching the show, I was also learning about Turkey, Turkish culture, while trying to figure out what was going on in the show. I learned that the head writer is Gül Abus Semerci, and while I greatly admire her, and I am maybe even a little bit envious of her, I am also extremely frustrated too. She writes characters that I love, and I think she is talented, but it felt like the show was shorthanded, and there was not enough writing staff to follow through on storylines to avoid inconsistencies. Cast members that should have been in certain scenes were absent, plots were not properly set-up, and it all felt very rushed. The choice of scenes were odd, and it felt like there was a checklist of plots that the show was going through, without any connection to character development. Then I learn that the head writer is also writing for another show, and it just felt like Kardeṣlerim was tossed aside, operating on auto-pilot, as perhaps the head writer had taken on too many responsibilities.

Putting all that aside, I was really excited when I saw the footage of the cast meeting together again on the show. While the break between seasons seems to have gone by quickly, I am ready for new episodes. I think what really makes this show great is the chemistry among the entire cast. I am willing to put up with a whole lot just to spend time with these characters, but please give these characters and the show as a whole, the attention and time that it deserves. Keep the characters alive, don’t torture the characters and us too much, and let us fans enjoy spending time with them as we watch Kardeṣlerim. Thanks in advance. Gayl
