They who still enjoy fairy tales

if brienne is knighted, and i go back and forth a bit on whether i would prefer this to happen or not, i want it to be poignant. brienne was wholesome chungus knighted to a room of cheers and then was later appointed lord commander of the kingsguard (lol) in the show. it is not something that can even give me much catharsis as it was intended to bc it cant help but feel fraudulent and untrue to the ethos of her character and arc in my eyes. if she gets knighted, not that this officiality is what actually defines a “true knight”, that is the whole interrogation and deconstruction happening in these books yadda yadda, i would like it more if it was very private and maybe not even witnessed by anyone else. if it is denied her by most of her society, which it realistically will be, it is still true to her, to jaime, a select few, and, most importantly, the reader. i think that would hit the right beats for me. i like brienne as the true hero of this story who wont really receive her dues and be rewarded, wont be embraced and heralded, but the text nonetheless making the case that this fact does not render what she is any less meaningful. i think that is bittersweet in a p beautiful way for her character
