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?

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

Me too. I get it, destiny is mysterious and romantic to an extent. But yeah, destiny needs to be chucked I think, when it comes to social status and ruling.
