i’ll answer the first one first! favourite female ruler: that would be this beautiful golden fool of a terrible queen, Cersei Lannister, the First of Her Name.

i love how complex and yet unequivocally despicable she is; her anger, her fire, her ever-boiling hate; the way she thrashes and schemes and wants to fight the whole world only to burn herself in the end as all of her plans terribly backfire.

she’s both relatable as a woman that’s been spurned by an extremely patriarchal society, and condemnable for the way she nevertheless enforces it when it suits her.
