re “most popular lannister in fandom” discussion lol i love cersei obv but im not particularly shocked at her not being as immensely popular as her brothers in book circles. not even just because of misogyny but the type of character that she is and her “likability”. nonetheless, there is a lot to say and discuss about her and her complexity anyway and id love to see that more over “girlboss delulu queen x100”. idrgaf about what others think but the only thing that kinda bugs me is when i see multiple ppl complain about tyrion specifically lacking the intrigue and discussion that sorrounds jaime sometimes (which is a gripe i entirely understand and resonate with, especially bc we can guess the types of things it could be rooted in; and there is a lot of material to discuss with him ofc) and then never discussing him or really mentioning him themselves either, especially centering him. like ye i write like 800 pages on jaime or whatever and not as much about the other two bc i find him the most compelling personally for whatever reason but lol thats just me. be the change u want to see, especially if u find him the most interesting personally

#like i think cersei isnt written as ‘likeable’ necessarily which i do love tho #it doesnt impact character writing quality but it does affect popularity 😭#to be fair the longest thing ive written is the aerys cersei thing whatever i think of what i said in that now lol #i disagree w some of it certainly but its painfully long im not touching it again lmao #it feels too connected to discourse anyway which is just frustrating to me #like if u invest time into discussing fandom pilled whatever over the actual book u r gonna end up with kinda dumb thoughts anyway #bc u r trying to argue with nonsense and talk with premises that r so out of left field in mind
