This tiara was first worn by Şah Sultan in the twenty-eighth episode of the third season of Magnificent Century. It was used again on Gülfem Hatun in the sixth episode of the fourth season.

The tiara appeared also on Akile Hanim in the twenty-ninth episode of the first season of Magnificent Century: Kösem.

everyone and their mother trying to avenge ibrahim by taking down hürrem and meanwhile this is one of the few incidents where she had almost no direct influence lmao

Sah when being told by Hatice that Hurrem is very ambitious

[beafarm]

Hatice just straight up doesn't care about her children, huh... Hürrem, Mahidevran, Hafsa Sultan, Şah Sultan they all deeply care about their children and do anything and everything for them but Hatice is out here mourning some dick. I get it, you loved him but you have children!!!! Think about them, they're also an extension of your lost lover, love them!!!!! Instead she's grown bitter and detached

[mc-critical]

I think Beyhan won't prompt Hatice to seek revenge precisely because she likens her to herself a bit too much*. She knows that Hatice is still grieving, that her wound is way fresh and very staunchly stresses the fact that she needs all possible support she could be given in such a moment. To Beyhan, it's like Hatice isn't even in the state to act on her feelings, because the pain and helplessness are just this big, or at least shouldn't be in that state, because "she has responsibilities", "she has to endure" (E83). She can only dwell on everything and try to process it, rely on "time" to help her heal and take solace in her children just like Beyhan herself has. I feel the reason why Beyhan so firmly insisted for Şah to act before something else happens, before "the dynasty gets destroyed" is not just because she herself can't, but also because in Beyhan's eyes, Şah is the only one who can. If it's about the welfare of the dynasty, Şah is the one who should maintain order, as she is the person who positions herself as unaffected and capable and the rest are away in mourning, 'too lead by their emotions'. If it's about vengeance, Şah is the one who should pursue it for all of their sakes. And as to why she may can't, why she holds back, why she waits, Beyhan can think of one single motive: her sister is afraid to face Hürrem in order not to lose too and, in a more metaphorical sense, afraid to face the cumulative source of hurt itself (that includes his majesty), leaning on her own 'selfish' comfort instead. Just like Beyhan.

*after what happened to Ibrahim, as she understandably couldn't before, no matter how hard Hatice tried to empathize.

Magnificent Century + text posts

"According to the criterion of stipend, the haseki, or favorite concubine, enjoyed the greatest status in the imperial harem after the valide sultan. The haseki, a slave concubine and no blood relation to the reigning sultan, ranked higher than the sultan's own sisters and aunts, the princesses of the dynasty." - The Imperial Harem: Women and Sovereignty in the Ottoman Empire by Leslie P. Peirce
