selim only being responsible for two pregnancies and both of those by the same woman..... would not typically be a high bar but he is a sehzade in magnificent century and as a sehzade in magnificent century that is a truly impressive feat

#like literally no other dynasty character (sans cihangir) keeps it in his pants as much as he does #suleiman mustafa bayezid CANNOT relate. mehmed to a lesser extent but there is the caveat that he died young #i mean we do see selim sleeping w other women but historically and in-show the implication seems to be that he and his other partners #besides nurbanu take some sort of measure to prevent pregnancy #anyway mc's cast of men is so shitty and chronically horknee that i'm over here legitimately applauding selim for only conceiving kids twic #selim #selim ii #sehzade selim #sultan selim #muhteşem yüzyıl #muhtesem yuzyil #magnificent century #mc tag

I can't break the cycle, am I just a fool? Falling down like dominoes, hit by family jewels Pass it down from kid to kid, the chain will never end 'Less I decide to go to it, will I see the end?

The first teaser of season 4, showing a cihangir with a stubble, it pretty much summarizes the events of season 4, with strong symbolizim, the best part of it being nurbanu saving Selim from the flaming arrow:

It's weird that Selim is only one out of Hurrem's children that I really like. Mihrimah had her moments and baby Cihangir was cute. But as adults, Selim seems the best of the bunch. Maybe because he had an arc and he showed character growth. From aimless and lonely, to ambitious and actively trying to take charge of his destiny. While the others remained the same and stale.

hello! do you happen to know why sultan selim asked mirihmah money when he ascended the throne?

hi, Selim asked Mihrimah money for a simple reason actually,because he did not have enough.

Let me explain in deeper: per his accession Sultan was traditionally paying fees to Janissaries. However,it was happening only after the official ascending ceremony was held,however Selim was not yet officially sultan and was not yet in the capital at all. Janissaries were never his supporters and they were still bitter about Mustafa's execution,so they marched against sultan-to-be Selim refused to let him enter in capital,took his viziers,one of which was his son-in-law,husband of Gevherhan sultan, Admiral payle paşa.Their demand was simple, they wanted accesion fee to be payed immediately. However, Selim did not have access to imperial treasury yet and he had not nearly as much money as janissarie needed,so the only option was Mihrimah, who was not only his only family,but her wealth was unparalleled in the empire,she was already the wealthiest person as she grew adult and after death of Rustem his vast wealth also became hers. So Selim asked Mihrimah to pay the fee and he remained grateful for her.

Another reason could have been the economic crisis.The Ottoman Empire was quite wealthy but it was bad timing,lands were large so it has great expenses,plus Suleiman died in war therefore huge amount of money was already taken from treasury,besides as it seems treasury did not have enough money to cover all expenses of war,so it was Mihrimah again who gave her father additional money.

In the end, this huge problem and humiliation was solved by Mihrimah and Selim gave her rulership of harem immediately after his accession, Mihrimah paid the fees many other times during Selim's reign.She has great wealth and was not afraid to spend it for good causes,one such was Selim,only family she had left.
