robert understanding that jaime was basically still a child when he killed aerys, a child given this MASSIVE and RIDICULOUS duty of being the sole defender of like 60% of the royal family except one of those royals was INSANE and EVIL, and that he reacted the way a child might which was just killing aerys before he could do any more damage……like being able to see so clearly the exact catch-22 jaime was stuck in when he’s still a teenager…..but then being completely unable to apply that same understanding to his own family, or even to lyanna & why she might have not wanted to marry him……..

QUALIFYING ROUND: 128th Tilt

Ser Jaime Lannister, Game of Thrones (2011-2019) VS. Wat, A Knight’s Tale (2001)

Propaganda

Ser Jaime Lannister, Game of Thrones (2011-2019) Portrayed by: Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

“Okay, yes, he is an asshole who fucks his sister and pushes children out of windows, but we can fix him! Deep down he's just a lost little meow meow who doesn't know anything but fighting and family. But the more he's exposed to the outside world, the more he sees the error of his ways and tries to do better. And what's hotter than a redemption arc?”

Wat, A Knight’s Tale (2001) Portrayed by:

“being funny is SEXY”

Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

Additional Propaganda

For Jaime Lannister:

“In the books, both Brienne and Catelyn saw him emaciated and covered in his own filth and they thought "he could still get it". I think Nikolaj Coster-Waldau really lives up to that reputation.”

“Let's be real he's probably not into you, but doesn't that just add to the charm?”

For Wat:

[a-chaotic-dumbass]

being a jaime defender is difficult bc on one hand hes hot and sexy and clever and complex and depressed and my special pretty boy knight kingslayer but on the other hand he also has sex with his sister-lover in a sept by the corpse of his nephew-son right after he learns that his beloved brother might've been the killer

One thing a Lannister gonna do is beef with children

one for my heart and two for show! / three tears for all the souls below!

[sunny12th]

obsessed with the futility of vengeance in dany's story. your family is murdered, you're exiled, your home is taken in every sense of the word, and you have just hatched three dragons so you *should* be more than capable of enacting some righteous vengeance. except your family's killers are all dead before you can ever get near them and the last one left is a one-handed broken thing with graying hair and ptsd. what the fuck are you supposed to do with that? kill him? he'd probably thank you. dany's family is a haunting him more than her. what can she do but tell him to let them go, that rhaegar is gone, his children are gone, let them go. what can she do but let them go herself.

I saw you like Jaime Lannister! Si you like Jaime x Brienne as a ship?

Obviously. I mean, how could I not like them? They have everything for me to like them! If we’re talking about an egocentric, diva-like prince with deep depression and shattered self-esteem like Jaime Lannister, who embodies cynicism and has lost all faith in the world, and Brienne, who, despite all the crap she’s endured, still believes quite naively and idealistically in honor and the figure of the knight? If they both have completely opposite personalities that perfectly complement each other, filling in the gaps and helping each other grow as people? If, thanks to Brienne’s blind idealism, Jaime begins to believe that maybe the world isn’t so rotten, and perhaps things are bad because no one tries to make them right? While Brienne, thanks to Jaime, reinforces her conviction to follow the life she’s chosen and learns to open her mind and be less categorical and judgmental? If he’s the most handsome guy in all of Westeros, and she’s supposedly horrible and considered unattractive by everyone? They are everything that’s right in a ship!

Even on a purely platonic level, their relationship is wonderful. They function as a team, supporting each other discreetly, never admitting their affection, but constantly betting on one another—I adore them. Few ships have captivated me as much as this one; it’s not just that I like them—they are the OTP. They’re the OTP because, besides having the dynamic (featuring a bunch of tropes I usually love), they genuinely make each other better. Jaime doesn’t become likable to the reader until he meets Brienne, and it’s through Brienne and her POV that Martin is telling us that, okay, Jaime is a jerk, but we can love him. They’re wonderful, truly.

But I’m talking about Jaime and Brienne from the books—what they did to them in the show is a sacrilege, and HBO’s studios should be burned down for it.

The Lannisters are so unserious. In AFFC, Jaime literally goes up to Kevan - his uncle who has been literally hunting down outlaws, commanding men, hanging robber knights and pretty much being a soldier long before Jaime was even a twinkle in Tywin's eye - and gives him advice?

And Kevan's literal reaction is

[sare11aa11eras]

So like. The Riverlands, or at least Harrenhal, have like a gravitational pull. Which is why Catelyn, Jaime, Brienne, and Arya can’t ever escape there. Even in death, Catelyn can’t leave. Her memory and her body are bound together and to her homeland once more. And Jaime and Brienne spend all their time in ASOS in the Riverlands, and you think they’ll escape back to civilization and King’s Landing, and they do, but a) they are changed irrevocably from the people who started out so like did they really leave? and b) King’s Landing turns out to be a brief respite only. They must return once more, and they may even die there. And then Arya spends like two whole books there, wandering and traveling and never getting to where she needs to go. And even when she leaves, even with the whole Narrow Sea between her and those forests and streams, her consciousness and her soul still reside there, and she returns there every night, renewing her connection. Okay? They are stuck. They’re trapped. It’s just endless forest and rivers and the occasional band of outlaws or travelers or abandoned castles. Which, none of them can leave, either. Gendry and the Brotherhood are still there, even when their original purpose is lost and their leader dies. Jeyne, the orphans at the inn, Ravella Smallwood, the Freys, the Brackens and Blackwoods, the Bloody Mummers, the bear from the Harrenhal Bear Pit— they are all trapped. Okay?

I was going through your meta links (I find your meta a really insightful reading of the books and it's made me look at them with fresh eyes which is a lot of fun) and was especially curious about your answer to why Jaime told Brienne about the wildfire and Aerys, but the link is broken and I can't find it by searching your tags or blog :( would you be willing to share your thoughts on it again?

idk what i said but i think it is a culmination of factors. brienne embodies true knighthood/heroism, and is an indisputably good individual and is a person whose approbation part of jaime actually deeply craves (george has expressed this in an interview before) to the point that he will actually justify himself to her and open up to her + jaime was also stripped bare of all of his walls throughout asos, and the bath itself + injuries etc have him in a state where his control is not the best obviously, but still, brienne is his past self’s idealistic mirror. if anybody on earth will listen, and hear him, deep down he knows she is someone who would. one of the most gnawing fears that jaime has as per the asos dream is that his society, including the people who he idealized as the epitome of knighthood and honor, would reject him even with the confession and still believe he was wrong to do the right thing even with the context, and that is something that would snuff that fire out in him permanently. it is a confrontation that would lead to the justification of his extreme cynicism regarding how the world functions and how human beings are like, which is the most heartbreaking thing for an idealist. but by the confession he viscerally knows that brienne would not do such a thing. and she doesnt. because people can be good, and they can understand. there are true heroes! “i dreamed of you.”
