How about a Yandere Mehmed (Suleiman's son) in love/obsessed with his brother Mustafa's favorite concubine.
La trajeron de Grecia y ella sabe mucho de artes, literatura y mitos y llama la atención de ambos hermanos ( sería problemático ya que estaban muy "cerca" en el programa )
Tumblr media
It's total chaos. I really like this request. I hope you will like it. Please feel free to write more requests.
~ Most likely Mahidevran Sultan or if still alive, Valide Hafsa Sultan chose you. You are always chosen from other women with your beauty and many skills.
~ You are succeeding in being Prince Mustafa's favorite and favorite concubine. He never ceases to invite you to his side. It takes you wherever possible.
~ Maybe you meet Şehzade Mehmed by coincidence or in a place you went with Şehzade Mustafa. He wants to know why you are so important to his brother Mustafa.
~ Researching you causes him to have obsessive feelings towards you. He wishes that you were presented to him.
~ If you have been with his brother, it is not possible for him to take you anymore. However, he will only want to take you if you are a concubine in the harem.
~ Hürrem Sultan soon realizes that there is something strange about his son. He is surprised when he finds out about your reason. If you weren't with Şehzade Mustafa, he would try to recruit you into his son's harem.
~ Hürrem Sultan will take advantage of this situation. He will use you to increase Mehmed's desire to ascend to the throne and to see Mustafa as an enemy.
~ Mahidevran Sultan does not want you to get too close and chat with Hürrem and her children. It warns you to stay away from them.
~ Mahidevran Sultan wants you to get pregnant as soon as possible. If you have children, it will be impossible for you to go or be taken.
~ Mihrimah Sultan will want to spend time with you. Esmehan Sultan (Sahuban Sultan's daughter and because she is in love with Mehmed) will be jealous of you. The other concubines of Şehzade Mehmed are very jealous of you.
~The other concubines of Şehzade Mustafa will be very jealous of you. The fact that you are the prince's favorite makes many concubines angry.
~ When Şehzade Mehmed sees that you and your brother are together, the gets angry and jealous. He promises himself that when he ascends the throne, he will make you his.
~ Şehzade Mustafa is a smart man. Your brother will soon realize that you have feelings for you. She does not hesitate to make her jealous and angry by having happy moments with you in front of her eyes.

I repeat one of my comments posted on Youtube
If I had my say on the way Suleiman's children were portrayed, because like a lot of people, I didn't like the way it was written in Magnificent Century, that's what I would do. ( In my eyes, Mustafa was seen as a pure white sehzade, which therefore made him in my eyes more stupid and less interesting than he actually was. Mehmed was practically erased of his personality and seen as a pure Gary Stu like his half brother. Cihangir, who I adore, yet in the series was too naive. Selim is seen as evil, etc...)
I would respect the historical point of view more. I propose an alternative version, I would have added Suleiman's children he had when he was sehzade with his other concubines before he became Sultan and met Hurrem and then had them die of the plague as it was historically.
Sehzade Mustafa - I would keep his childlike personality, except he is not close to his siblings (because of the fratricidal law), and I wouldn't put him close to Ibrahim at least until he becomes an adult and allies himself with him. I would let his mother take care exclusively of his education. A young man who craves recognition and attention from his father, who often neglects him in return over his other children due to the fact that Mahidevran is the Sultan's least beloved concubine. The more he becomes an adult, and especially a father, the more he resents his father because of the way he treats his mother and him. He does not really understand his father and therefore his fears due to the fact that he did not grow up close to him. I would keep his efficient heir personality because he performs very well despite his father never teaching him well because of his mother who is a very good advisor. Instead of doing something for his military glory or showing off his harem too much, I would focus on how he improves the lives of common people exhausted by too much conquest. I would make his guilt very ambiguous, at the start it is clear that he wants to wait for his father to die to have the throne and restore his mother's honor, however, he realizes that his father lets his vizier lead his life impossible to see even encourages him, does not hide that he preferred to have a son of Hurrem on the throne no matter what Mustafa will do. Following this, the sehzade wants to have a second plan like his grandfather in case Suleiman wants to abdicate in favor of another of his sons which would put him in danger (which could explain the Venetian correspondence, others say that it was a plan to prevent his brothers from escaping if one day he became Sultan) but hesitates to actually carry it out, then after some hesitation goes to his father's tent and gets strangled. Instead of doing Atmaca, I would focus on Mustafa's son-in-law, Nergissah's husband who started as Rustem's ally and becomes his most loyal supporter ( it seems that it is more a legend than truth, but I didn't remeber well as I didn't have on me my books of historian like Halil Inalcık) . So I would avoid making a treacherous Sehzade, his mistakes would be understandable, but he wouldn't be a pure white Sehzade.
Sehzade Mehmed: it's more complicated for him because he died without having proven himself in a complicated province like Amasya, so it's quite difficult to make a comparison with Mustafa. But I would make sure to give him a real personality: initially close to some of his brothers like Selim and Bayezid, he becomes, despite his mother, more distant towards them because of the fratricide (Mehmed II had therefore legalized it there is not much way to escape from it at the time unlike MCK) although he is very close to Cihangir and his sister. Unlike Mustafa, his father trained him in the regency of the palace and he did very well by dint of advice and practice. When he is sent to the provinces, he often listens to his mother's advice when she visits him. Knowing that he has the support of the statesmen against Mustafa he realizes knowing his father better than his half brother that he will have to play the role of the obedient sehzade not interested in politics although deep down he prepare for it. He has the happiness of being a father but dies immediately afterwards.
Mihrimah Sultan- I would make sure to respect the historical Hurrem who wants her daughter to have a marriage of love and happiness. However Suleiman prefers Rustem, and she accepts him immediately because she will do everything to save her brothers and convince her mother to accept this marriage. I would rather show her as a politician as well as her diplomatic relations. However, I would underline the unjust side of Suleiman, he had Mustafa executed and condemned Mahidevran to poverty but refuses to punish Mihrimah by banishing her because she would have helped Bayezid financially during his rebellion. Their relationship would be cold for a time before reconciling. She will be reconciled with her brother Selim because basically they only remain and will be an ally of Nurbanu.
Sehzade Abdullah- I would have included him even if he died very young.
Sehzade Selim- Initially a cultured young man very focused on charity work like his mother and sister and very sober. Nevertheless it is often sad due to the law of fratricide. When Mustafa dies, he realizes he has a chance to escape it and he will fight in a wicked way especially for his son Murad because he knows that Bayezid's temper will put him in danger besides fratricide. He knew how to recruit powerful and efficient state members. He is on the whole an obedient sehzade but who is disgusted with his father's treatment of Mahidevran (after all she is no longer a threat to him she no longer has a son) and who will take risks to her by helping her financially. As the hardships go on, his depression increases he drinks more and more especially after his sister takes the part of Bayezid, that his brother Bayezid dies, and the fact that he is obliged to make other sons in the case where Murad dies without an heir which means that he knows that his other sons will be condemned to death. He has become a broken leader although he makes sure there is effective governance.
As a Sultan he must face his father's mistakes, including the way he led the Empire, including too many wars and unnecessary conquests in Europe. ​
Sehzade Bayezid- Him complicated. Due to his explosive temper he is the black sheep of his siblings (Mustafa does not count since he is a half brother, they do not even know each other) and the most incompetent of Suleiman's sons and Suleiman is worried because he has inherited the worst faults of Selim Yavuz like being angry easily (without having had his qualities). Yet deep down he wants affection and that's why he has several children even if it's irresponsible, his mother favors him because she's afraid for him because he has too impulsive nature . Mihrimah comes to his aid only in memory of his mother, because deep down she prefers Selim, Bayezid knows this, which means that he hardly listens to her. She only helps him financially as a last resort because she couldn't convince him to call off the rebellion. Suleiman was more lenient to his mistakes that Mustafa (we could once again underline the unfair side of Suleiman again with this) until the point that he took refuge to the Shah.
Sehzade Cihangir- A cultured young man very close to his parents and very sick. I would make him a supporter of Selim because although he is close to him, he also knows that he is his only chance of survival because he is not close to Bayezid at all. He often sends information from the Palace to Selim to better aid him in managing his province and at times advises him to be more ruthless in his quest for the throne while remaining an obedient sehzade. It would therefore be a good adviser for Selim (and it would give him more personality). He cannot therefore be limited to the role of a simple supporter but also of a valuable advisor.
And that's how I would portray them if I were in the place of the screenwriters. They are all very nuanced (we avoid all white or all black), we can freely pick a favorite without trying to favor another sehzade at all costs, and I try to be consistent with what we know about them and try to explain why they did mistakes or make sucess.

How many near death experiences has Mehmet had since birth? It seems like show is implying he was marked for death.

i like mustafa, but the way he's completely front and center of suleiman's sons and mehmed is basically just a prop for the fraying in mustafa and suleiman's relationship is annoying. i don't know much about ottoman history but according to this source, mehmed was a "prince of more exquisite qualities than even mustafa. he had a piercing intellect and a subtle judgment." it would have been nice to... i don't know... see that?

How would you rewrite Mehmed's character?
So, on a whole, I've never been all that pleased with how the şehzades were handled by the show. There's so much that can be drawn from to create depth for them, particularly given the complexities of the environment that raised them. Except, instead, each is stricken down to a highly biased stereotype.
The depiction of Mehmed, for example, as a naive sap doesn't hold up well against how the real version of himself could be considered the strongest competitor to the throne while alive.
Some of the rewrites that would occur for this character, however, do require, in my mind, the show to align a little closer to the "real historical". Mostly in actually applying the "one son to one mother" rule to draw attention to exactly why it was such a big deal for it to be broken for Hürrem.
“…calling Roxelana back to his bed would ultimately pit two full brothers against each other."—Peirce, Leslie. Empress of the East: How a European Slave Girl Became Queen of the Ottoman Empire
It's a detail that, honestly, would make it have far more sense for Mehmed, rather than Mustafa, to be the one openly opposed to harming his brothers. Then, of course, comes the tragedy of that promise coming undone after his death. It'd certainly allow for a greater explanation as to why Hürrem hopes for a chance to cheat the system, so to speak.
The bond he had with Mustafa isn't entirely unreasonable, although it wouldn't entirely resemble what's depicted in the show.
In reality, Mustafa wasn't raised alongside his half-siblings, but he was the only survivor of the children born in Suleiman's princely harem. Children that died not long after the birth of Mehmed. So, I can easily see Mustafa struggling to accept the inevitable death of the brother the members of his political camp insist is his greatest rival when, once upon a time, he rejoiced in that brother's life.

Ok, I need to rage about something for a sec.
WHY TF DOES HURREM BOW TO MUSTAFA?! AND ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS!! IT MAKES NO SENSE!!
But seriously, there is no logic in this, and the decision to make Hurrem do this repeatedly is so disrespectful to both her character and her position.
Hurrem is Haseki Sultan. She is Sultan Suleiman's only legal wife, and she is the mother of 4 of his sons. These 4 sons who are in equal standing to Mustafa. For some dumb reason, the show likes to forget that the Ottomans weren't European. The Ottomans did not abide by the eldest son being the heir rule ever. All sehzades had an equal right, and the Sultan only had a specific heir if he himself appointed him. But for some reason, the show completely ignores this, and it pretends that Mustafa was some "Crown Prince." I like Mustafa, but he was never the legal heir.
This is also comparable to whenever it has Mahidevran bow to Ibrahim, which is equally frustrating. The family of the Sultan (which includes his consorts) are always of a higher standing than any government official.
These instances are honestly more frustrating to me than when Hurrem continued to be called a hatun even after giving birth to Mehmed, which by show logic entitled her to the Sultan title, because it was done intentionally as an insult. Having Hurrem bow to Mustafa, and having Mahidevran bow to Ibrahim was both always done with all seriousness.
Everytime it happened, I felt both the overwhelming urge to slap all the characters involved and scream into a deep empty void.
I really hope that I am not alone in my intense frustration with the show's seeming lack of awareness/respect of any proper protocol or common sense.

Sorry I didn't explain, son hurrem
Tumblr media
No problem. I hope you will like it.
You may meet Şehzade Mehmet by chance. Or you are a concubine offered to him. Perhaps your marriage is arranged for alliance. No matter how you met, Mehmet falls in love at first sight. After seeing you, he will do anything to get you. No one will stop you from getting it. It will not be difficult for him to take you, thanks to the fact that he is the most precious child of his father and mother. He spends most of his time with you. He wants you to have heirs. He gives you a lot of expensive and flashy gifts. No one can hurt or disrespect you. Children born to you always come before children born to other concubines for him. The children born to you will always be a priority. Hürrem Sultan, Mihrimah Sultan or anyone else will not dare to harm you

Meylişah/ Melylikaya/Mehlika. Her date of birth is unknown. She was of russian origin.
Originally she was a slave of Kuyuncu Mehmed Pasha and after his death, Pasha's wife presented her to chief black eunuch of the Imperial Harem, Haci Agha. The agha treated her like his own daughter and he decided to freed her. When Meylişah and Osman II met, she was a free woman. There is no record of their marriage but according to islamic law, a freed slave woman could not be a concubine again. On 20th October 1621, Meylisah gave birth to sehzade Ömer, the only known child of Osman II. Unfortunatelly, in February 1622 Ömer tragically passed away. According to venetian bailo, Osman Il and Meylisah together with prince Ömer and with other female family members were watching a re-enactment of the sultan 's Polish campaign organized as a big show at the palace. One of the acemioglan (boys considered to join the Janissaries) playing the role of a Polish solider discharged the gun and caused a ricochet.Osman blamed Meylisah for that accident and refused to see her ever again. She lost her ranks and titles. She disappers from Harem records with Ömer's death. Nothing more is known about her.

Damn right.
I imagine Mehmed is his favorite because he reminds him of himself.
Selim is the other favorite because he's most like Hurrem.
