preachy bitch

Tahir is definitely a complicated character and he’s done some genuinely awful things, but if we’re being completely objective, erkan isn’t exactly free of red flags either. I love him, but he’s done a few things throughout the story that weren’t exactly great either

hey there! I agree with you 100%.

erkan is absolutly NOT perfect and has made a lot of decisions (especially at the beginning of the season) that left me shaking my head.

i feel like i could write a thesis on erkan because i love him SO much. he also had SUCH great development this season.

i think it was one of the first scenes in episode 1 where his commander or something said "do you think it's easy to take responsibility for someone? are you capable of carrying someone else's burden?" and the rest of the season is the answer to that question.

we see him in a constant struggle between his promise to dicle and his real world obligations/image. dicle takes things literally, and calls him out, so he was never able to truly escape his claim of responsibility for her. he NEEDED that to develop.

additionally, he absolutely has control issues. it would take me hours to come up with a complete list of examples but I think that's pretty obvious with erkan.

honestly that's a good question?? I may need to rewatch a few select scenes to see if there is a connection?
