      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?

      I think as much as medievalists like to critique pop culture/ fantasy representations of the medieval, a lot of us still first came to medieval studies because of our investment in these representations, which can't be separated from their glorification of royalty/aristocracy.

      I was once in a seminar where half the grad students admitted that they became medievalists because of Tolkien. And a lot about the field itself (no doubt b/c of its white supremacist/imperialist history) encourages this & the overidentification btwn scholar and obj of study.

      I've been trying to think my way around what a non-monarchist fantasy would look like recently. It's, uh, challenging. The genre is really closely interwoven with the "exiled prince brought up as a farmer" trope

      Yes! even in examples that subvert tropes and/or depict royalty/aristocracy as the bad guys, it doesn't change the fact that the pop medieval/fantasy aesthetic is descended from literary genres (epic and romance) whose ideological function was to prop up the ruling classes

      This is a really good point and is honestly very relatable. I still enjoy the mystique of the fantasy imagined medieval period to an extent. Finding reimaginings that don’t centre royalty is hard.

      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

      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.

      especially all that creepy "it's in your blood" stuff, which is just like a sneeze away from straight fascism

          China Mieville talks a lot about what he hates about the glorification of royalty and destiny, but his works tend to be set in Fantasy Industrial Revolution instead of Fantasy Middle Ages.
