the ‘noooo jaime doesn’t DESERVE redemption’ argument is silly but also. i will be pissed if cersei dies terrified and pleading with her brother not to murder her, and then he goes off to be some big hero.

i will also be pissed if the valonquar is suddenly not jaime and is some rando/loras/sandor instead

i will also be pissed if jaime’s murder of cersei is portrayed as a big heroic sacrifice moment where he saves millions in the process

jaime lannister enjoyers are fascinating creatures to me because there is exactly four types of them with no overlaps between them. i‘ve never seen a jaime stan who wasn’t invested in him in more than one of these four very specific ways. every jaime enjoyer is either a jaime azor ahai and valonquar truther who thinks that he is grrm‘s magnum opus, a middle aged white woman who just thinks nikolaj coster waldau is hot, a self diagnosed sigma who wildly misinterprets him as a character and views jaime lannister as the very picture of desirable masculinity, or an insane teenage girl who writes the best and deepest analysis of him you’ve ever seen but also regularly refers to jaime as a poor little meow meow and as so deeply pathetic it makes him fuckable again.

one thing i love asoiaf for is how much it breaks down the concept of knighthood and the damaging false chivalry embroiled in the system with each character. how each one is used as a vehicle to break down each concept and eventually recontextualise it and almost seamlessly slip together like puzzle pieces. its a love letter to the genre and ideals just as much as it is a critical analysis.

jaime and loras kingsguard white book scene kind of winona ryder being horrified the kid actors on stranger things think films are long and boring. when you tell kids these days about a past knight of the kingsguard they just ask you whats the song about him? what are his great deeds? they dont even care about robett uller who in the reign of jaehaerys ii died of infection after dropping a pike through his foot

The Knight of Flowers shone so fine and pure in his white scales and silk that Jaime felt a tattered and tawdry thing by contrast.

everyone’s wondering who the younger more beautiful queen might be but none of them show any concern for this younger more beautiful lord commander…curious

thinking about how lancel, in trying to become Jaime, actually kind of did! he was manipulated into a role too big for him to truly reckon with, got lost in the corruption of court, became a pawn for powers greater than himself, and in finally wresting himself from those hands he simply sank deeper into his own trauma and turned his back on everything else just to wallow in it all. in fact I think loras and lancel are the past selves that kind of book end Jaime’s arc that spans his return to KL in ASOS and his travels through the Riverlands in AFFC. Loras is kind of a flattering projection of self: he’s strong, beautiful, as good as he thinks he is and sure of himself. Lancel, on the other end of his trials, is essentially the opposite. he’s weak, cowed, tormented and terrified. but they both make up the person Jaime was on that bridge from boyhood to manhood and he has to reckon w both to truly grow from them

ive been swirling jaime and cersei around in my brain all morning i have nothing new to add to the conversation its all things people have already said or that I've already said im just going a bit insane weeping at their dynamic

I also really wanna draw them but I don't know what because I'm too much a coward to draw proper ship art unless someone pays me and every other idea i have seems to complicated for my energy rn
