#just saw smth unpleasant in the jaime tag

[almostaknight]

not saying it’s out of the realm of possibility, but jaime 'relapsing' and going back to being romantically involved with cersei in any capacity is so viscerally unsatisfying to me.

imo the books never framed their relationship as something that jaime was addicted to, like in the show (which mostly stemmed from d&d‘s incest fetish). jaime choosing cersei means choosing death and self-destruction, which is just craven, as brienne so bluntly put it when he was adamant to die after loosing his hand.

jaime has just stopped existing in stasis after nearly two decades. he has just started to take action and control of his life again. I really don’t see him crawling back into going away inside on a permanent basis and letting others control his fate, especially not cersei, whom he doesn’t trust anymore.
