Chitra Ganesh, ''Sultana's Dream'', 2018
Source
“This project is inspired by Sultana’s Dream, a 1905 feminist utopian text written by an early Bengali feminist writer and social reformer, Rokeya Sakhhawat Hossain. Educated thanks to the support of her family, Hossian was one of the few elite Bengali women of her generation writing in English. Sultana’s Dream was written over the course of an afternoon. It was first published in the Ladies’ Journal, a women’s literary magazine based in Madras, appearing some 10 years before Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s iconic feminist utopic novel Herland. Sultana’s Dream, though not as widely known, holds a singular position among early feminist science fiction literature. This series of prints draws on Hossain’s vibrant imagery, translating a story written in verse into a visual grammar that connects with problems that shape 21st century life: apocalyptic environmental disaster, the disturbing persistence of gender-based inequality, the power of the wealthy few against the economic struggles of the majority, and ongoing geopolitical conflicts that cause widespread death and suffering. Created in a form that is historically foundational to the idea of public discourse, this series of works comments through form and content on this fraught moment in world history, demonstrating the enduring relevance of feminist utopia imaginaries in offering an invaluable means of envisioning a more just world.” (Source)

Treehouse Ask: I like how you have drawn inspiration from different historical and mythological couples to create Morpheus/Reader's relationship. Using Suleiman the Magnificent and Haesaki Hurrem Sultan was a great choice because it was very much a real-life darker Cinderella story (not to romanticize enslavement). While Hurrem was considered lovely with her (possible) red hair and green eyes it's said her wit and intelligence captivated her husband. I feel like that was similar to Reader.
Hi!
Sorry it took me a bit to answer this! I actually am just sitting down to watch Magnificent Century as I write chapter 29 and it reminded me that you sent this ❤️.
I LOVE the love story between Suleyman and Hurrem and I admire Hurrem so much. I have been wanting for years to work in elements of their romance into something but nothing was ever the right fit. Their dynamic was so complicated, given the historical/social context, yet very beautiful.
As I was planning out Morpheus and Reader’s relationship, I realized I needed to find inspo/themes that would somewhat accurately translate my perspective of their dynamic and how they handle the immense power he has over her while being romantic/passionate/loving. To me, bringing the two stories together was the perfect fit.
As a nod to this inspo, I have titled Lucienne’s position within Morpheus’ realm as one of his Viziers. This won’t be the last we see of the Ottoman court hierarchy in treehouse!
I was compling the 'songs under two minutes' post and released that I already knew three songs called Intro, which made me think of DVD Menu, which I love as a title because DVD Menus, the nostalgia, which got me thinking I should compile a list. I'm sure there are a lot more but here is what I knew / found and liked - songs called Intro/Introduction, by:
Sigur Ròs
Sonic Youth
Plastic Tree
the xx
Black Country, New Road
alt-j
Ms. Lauryn Hill
Nick Drake
Silver Jews
(and few that otherwise let you know it's the start of the album)
Prelude - Nico
Opening Title - Graeme Revell
DVD Menu - Phobe Bridgers
Introduction (Titles) - Danny Elfman
The Opener - Camp Cope
Opener - Ill Considered
Opener - Lordofon (yeah I know it's in Polish but I just found this song and it's a vibe)
and just for good measure -
Outro - Tash Sultana
Outro - Marlin's Dreaming
I dunno I just find a lot of these really peaceful... (not Camp Cope so much but it's cool so it's going on the list)
It doesnt stand out to me much when Im running around through Ul'Dah in game, but when Sultana Dreaming comes up on my instrumental playlist it feels like being wrapped up in a big warm cozy blanket so safe and comfy i love that song.
