"A woman who goes around wearing a knife is obviously looking for trouble." She reached deep into her pocket and brought out a long, slender piece of metal, glittering all along one edge. "However a woman who carries a knife is ready for trouble."

GET TO KNOW ME[ME] → FAVOURITE SCENE (4)

this scene got me into magnificent century, no joke. it was randomly recommended to me on youtube, and I clicked, and I was hypnotised. even without the meaning I now know it has, the way it was structured, the escalation, the beauty, the power in meryem's performance and the impudent rage in selma's, the horrified awe of everybody else, it is perfect. and now, there's the added bonus of knowing this was the moment where hurrem finally stopped playing nice. knowing her worth, standing up for herself, unafraid and having fully embraced the fight she had been dragged into. the hand-catch, the sarcastic little curtsey, the way she opens the doors to see everybody staring, and then walks off without a word like a BOSS. sheer perfection.
