I'm in love with the word "queen" also because etymology, as I was saying. Because I read the the "queen" etymology is uncertain but some guys suspect that it comes from gyné, ancient greek for woman, which makes a lot of sense, but, you know, the central core of the word deeply connects two concepts: power - because queen is a word that means *powerful* - and also woman. And there are other examples of that, like the Italian "donna" (woman) who comes from the latin "domina" which comes from dominium. I mean, it's all theory but language is ancient and it's the most powerful thing to export concepts and nothing is casual. You know, matriarchy in the Mediterraneum, because it was all about men. And it makes me thing of what Willow says to Kennedy about her magic: the magic she uses is definetly old age-y. It's all about taking back what was originally yours and even if the show doesn't really get that - the power comes from the rape, something external - in fanfics we can do it. Can we?
