Views on how writers showed origin slave sultanas in both shows for their backstory.

That’s interesting ask cause I’ve always thought on how different each one of them is portrayed and how this portrayal is supposed to make us feel about them.

The one who is given the most sob story is Hurrem sultan without a doubt. MY starts with 2 scenes first SS ascension and second is showing Hurrem fighting with her kidnappers then a flashback of how she was kidnapped. Now I know one would say well Hurrem is the lead here of course they are gonna show more of her compared to others. Yeah sure but there is a difference between deeply exploring the character which this story is kinda built about and giving your character a sob story while ultimately portraying the other as completely heartless. And yes I am talking about Mahidevran sultan , I was kinda annoyed how the writers completely acted oblivious to the fact that everything Hurrem went through due to slavery and kidnapping is probably the same for Mahi. But no generally the fandom sympathizes with Hurrem story , cause she is the only character that got one, Hurrem stans excuse for some of Hurrem’s actions is that Hurrem was kidnapped completely ignoring that same could be said about Mahi . Another point of contrast between how they were both portrayed is (aside from Mahi ridiculously being favored by royals) that from day 1 Mahi is referred to as “Sultan” because she birthed SS a heir while Hurrem who also birthed SS a heir was still referred to as “Hatun” , she was still referred to as such until she probably birthed Selim (who was undoubtedly a game changer to his mother). It is shown that again Hurrem has to fight for everything within her own while we aren’t shown that with Mahi. So generally huge aspect of Hurrem’s character is her past trauma and how she got over it and personally I am not mad that her trauma is acknowledged and talked about. Huge aspect of Mahi’s character is her coping with SS’ neglect and later the final nail in the coffin is Mustafa’s death, but because Mustafa died later , for so long it was just her coping with neglect and not showing any signs of strength as Hurrem did. Which to me is pure writing favoritism they gave Hurrem a lot of complex features while Mahi is given that she is just a depressed woman fighting till no end and gain getting weaker in the process. Have anyone ever saw the fandom bringing the fact that Mahi was kidnapped and enslaved as a sympathy factor cause personally I haven’t.

The next Sultana of MY is Nurbanu sultan in SO4. Since again MY is majorly built around Hurrem sultan (I mean the show is ridiculously rushed by her death) and SS in SO4 they aren’t acknowledging miseries of slaves in SO4 like they did in SO1 simply because they wanted the most sympathy to go to Hurrem and will later want us to hate Nurbanu so her past story wasn’t as explored but still explored. The approach of Hurrem’s and Nurbanu’ stories is very different. In Hurrem’s case it is more like a little poor girl kidnapped by tatars who lost her family at such a young age like poor girl (yeah poor girl I ain’t complaining) but with Nurbanu she is more portrayed as an entitled princess having valeria as a slave and can’t cope with the fact that she went from being a princess to a slave when you compare Hurrem crying because she is missing her parents vs Nurbanu crying because she is no princess anymore while both imo are valid and no one should be slave , you are just bound to sympathize more with Hurrem. Also to be revealed later Nurbanu is an illegitimate daughter and wasn’t as luxurious as she said add more to her portrayal of being entitled. Lastly Nurbanu is viewed as an opportunistic while Hurrem is the unconventional lover because Hurrem very fairy tale like fell into her lovers arms while Nurbanu chose selim as her prince because she after knowing Selim is going to manisa asked fidan what would that make him be and when she understood it meant he got a chance to ascend the throne she deadass-ly flew to Hurrem and begged her to be within Selim harem. While yes we are given that Selim saving Nurbanu is their first encounter it isn’t that romantic nor is it shown as the final nail in the coffin as to why she went for selim.

Ehhhh

For MYK. Writers completely fucked up this part. While Hurrem growth from her trauma is more gradual, Kosem sultan’s growth happened in the worst way possible. Anastasia (which is played by Anastasia) started off strong as hell , the strongest view TIMs ever gave about slavery and its trauma. Girlie bit ahmed’s hand , scolded him for having her photo in his room as if she is an object, called him barbaric for trying to kill his brother, overall shitted on this Dynasty. She started to gradually love Ahmed but didn’t completely forget about her roots , her choice of not running away came from her loving him (I wanted her to run away but due to historical shit they had to make her stay). Now fast forward to Beren playing Kosem and how her roots being became irrelevant all of a sudden. Ik the change of actress is to showcase a very rushed growth from Anastasia to Kosem , which I am not the one to particularly cry over actresses, but in this case it valid to scream and threw a tantrum because the “growth” happened…because Ahmed didn’t die? Like did the writers go like “we will change actresses and viewers should automatically throw all the aspects the character had with the previous actress”. For this to not be shitting on the writers party, Kosem back story becomes irrelevant to her upcoming actions , she makes it obvious she is trying to hurt Safiye because Safiye is trying to hurt her husband , kidnapped her son for some good minutes and because Safiye is overall a corrupt person. The incident with her father to me just happened to habe something to blackmail Kosem to sell Handan cause otherwise she wouldn’t have done it. Kosem roots and her being Anastasia is brought again in MYK2 when she “kills” Ibrahim. I know that without a doubt Kosem character cannot be build around her roots because she is not given this venerable and loving archetype she is more of a strict and sometimes ruthless person (I don’t agree she is mummy but that’s how they try to portray her) , however, I wished there was more of a logical development as to what made her into this “ruthless” person.

The remaining two are Gulbahar sultan and Ayse sultan. Ayse sultan was written exactly like Mahi but given more pathetic aspects and that’s it. Gulbahar too like mahi she isn’t given any backstory other than she was exiled and stayed away from her son because she tried to dethrone murad again giving us a reason to not sympathize with her(ngl I am halfasssing these two cause I am tired lol)

Anyway, if you’ve made it this far, thank you!

Magnificent Century for the fandom ask.

Knew this was coming!

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Hurrem. It has to be Hurrem, Who else could I even PICK? 10/10 best character.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Hmmmmm....probably lil Cihangir or Esmanur. Both adorable AF.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Gulnihal Hatun. She was adorable and I just loved her and headcanon her having married a good man, and had adorable kids she got to bring to visit Hurrem.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

I might also say Cihan like @hurremsphoenix. She was pretty cute and there's no one else I can think of that was minor enough that I liked. (I might have said Gulnihal but she had a much bigger role)

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

I honestly can't think who I'd put here. Maybe Nazenin/Valeria? Not that I like her storyline cause it was gross, would have liked her better if she had been a foil to Nurbanu in Selim's harem, but I'm picking her I guess!

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Fatma, mustafa's concubine. Someone should have shoved HER down the stairs, never mind that poor lady she shoved. Wasn't a big fan of Fatma Sultan either.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Ibrahim. I haaaaaated him so much. Hatice and Nigar BOTH deserved so much better. SO MUCH BETTER.

#magnificent century #spoilers #ask me things #look I ship haticeX THERAPY cause she definitely would benefit from it

After discussing it in the youtube comments months ago, I'm still trying to figure out Gülfem's rank in the harem in Magnificent Century (not history, just the show).

At the top are Hürrem and any of the Sultan's sisters since around Hafsa's death. Since I read in Peirce' book about the historical harem that age was also important in ranking people of the same rank, Mihrimah would come after her aunts and after her all of her female paternal cousins. Then there is Mahidevran, and now the show confuses me.

Is Gülfem above or below Nurbanu/Defne/Mihrünnisa/etc.? I would argue she is above them as long as they don't have a son and about equal to the mother of a prince's son.

She is a concubine of the reigning Sultan himself. Valeria Hatun who was a concubine of Süleyman outranked Nurbanu as a concubine of Selim.

She gave birth to dynastic children and I think even a prince. Even though they're dead by the beginning of the show, it should give her a special standing from all that I gathered.

She is older than the princes' concubines.

She is sometimes even referred to as a Sultana (e.g. Bayezid in season 04). But they call her Hatun way more often.
