As someone who studies kingship and the idea of rulers to my fellow scholars who also study this stuff: why this incessant and persistent twee woobification of kings and queens?

And as much as I have issues with it, the Witcher is I guess a good example of “medieval” fantasy that has main characters and protagonists that are commoners but at the same time still give into the destiny and rulership thing.

yeah even those that subvert the destiny tropes don't... really do that good a job of it? like there's usually still ~destiny~ it's just that something goes wrong/it's perverted somehow. idk i'd love to see a fantasy where someone realizes that all the destiny shit is a lie
