Again, not saying you can’t find rulers interesting: I for example find Offa of Mercia very interesting. Same with Oswiu. But I cannot imagine thinking about them as cool dudes or friends or whatever.

And same with queens: someone like Cynethryth is massively interesting. But I don’t think it’s okay to stan her. Don’t even get me started on the use of AAVE by some white scholars on here when they talk about these people either. It’s yikes and you should stop.

I think we really need to interrogate why we collectively have an obsession with the monarchy and royals.
