My philosophy on the servant characters in Magnificent Century is that whatever they do, I am on their side. Are they loyal? Great! Are they not loyal? Great! Are they competent? Great! Are they not competent? Great!
Whatever you are doing to survive kings and queens!

“We can’t deal with Hürrem with kindness”- when have you tried kindness, Hafsa? Has there ever been an interaction where you didn’t insult, threaten or hit Hürrem? Has there ever been one moment where you treated her fairly? The answer is ‘no’ unless your definition of kindness is reluctantly agreeing to allow Hürrem to keep her son after she begged you on her knees not to take her child away from her despite the fact another concubine has done similar and far worse acts without it ever crossing your mind to take her son away.
Hürrem’s actions are inexcusable but of all people, you have no room to judge them after you taught her this was ok by protecting Mahidevran when she did similar and worse.
Nigar, Gulnihal, Ayse and the entire harem with the exception of Mahidevran and Gulsah, can rightfully be angry and even hate Hürrem for this but Hafsa is a hypocrite.
Why I do I feel the need to put a note saying I’m not defending Hürrem’s actions, only pointing out the self-delusion present in Hafsa? What Hürrem did was cruel and wrong. Her own conscience is already telling her that by taking the form of her mother and it may take some time, but eventually she’ll listen to it and realize how cruel that was. And she’ll repent.
“Monsters are not born, they’re made” doesn’t excuse evil acts, it only reminds us to peer deeper and be empathetic when we can. We can’t judge someone fairly if we don’t have sympathy. And that is something Hafsa seems to be incapable of.

Revisiting the scene my pfp takes place and apparently its her imitating Daye and not Sumbul lol
And you know it's pretty accurate and i can see why Suleyman figured it out so quickly

I don’t know if I have mommy issues, like my relationship with my mother is complicated (not all of it trough her fault), but it sure as hell seems like that from my preferences for characters that make me shout MOTHER.

Honestly suleyman is like a side-character in muhteşem yüzyıl so i really don't understand why we translated the title as "suleyman the magnificent" like it's not about him

So many problems Nigar could've avoided if she had been gay like Daye and Gulşah instead of a straight woman with a choking kink and a crush in her sort of boss
