cersei was so stupid lucky she was not able to try this maneuver but i want to see the world in which she somehow successfully got stannis and then renly and THEN robert killed in quick succession in a realm that already hates the lannisters and then fully expected to beat the allegations. no plausible deniability no plan to get out of the situation just vibes. this will work

cersei explaining to the realm that the king and both of his brothers and probably also coincidentally jon arryn all of whom she had highly personal and vicious problems with for years have all dropped dead. BUT it was because they just all got hit by a boar while crossing the street or something and NOT because she decided to play small council bowling and get them all at the same time. don’t worry about it she’s queen regent now

"small council bowling" aksjjsjsjsjjsjkss

These tags and reblogs are destroying me and I need to document them for when I need to be destroyed again later.

Revisiting this, one of my favorite ASOIAF tumblr posts, to, humbly, offer this addition:

Cersei stumbles from one idiocy to the next ... I always anticipated that she would beggar the realm and destroy herself, but I never expected she would do it quite so fast."

Can't stop thinking about Aerys considering the third head being the prince that was promised combined with the theory of Jaime and Cersei being his children.

Jaime... his third child...

(I mean, I don't hold too much from the theory of Aerys being his father, but the chosen one being the pelted cabbage guy in the background of all the Targ drama...ahahaha)

sorry but I do think that would be the funniest possible outcome. Dany like im TPTWP, Jon like no it’s me, stannis like no it’s me, and then bran announces that actually it’s jaime bc of some affair nobody knew about and Jaime’s the younger twin so technically he’s a third child and jaime just like

loathe to give robert any kind of credit but he was so unfathomably based when it came to jaime killing aerys, and not only bc it helped him win the throne.

+ bonus bc ned‘s honor code dictates him to be contemptuous of the guy who killed the king who cooked his brother and father alive

what makes robert being such a jaime apologist funnier is that jaime fucking hated his ass so bad for so many reasons and was also about to kill him like at least twice

I'm really happy that you liked the jaime appearances on the play (baby idealistic jaime and cabbages!!!) and I want to thank you for answering all those asks and going into so much detail! Truly the fandom's saviour 🙂‍↕️

I LOVE BABY JAIME and I would die for him. might actually have died w him if those rumours about rogue pyrotechnics were true. and the cabbage scene has changed my life. I was like yes…. they get it…. they GET IT…. and they have given me a dumb fucking joke I will be making for the rest of my goddamn life.

also I feel vindicated af like even though they mostly only adapted what was already canon it left no room for the weird bad faith twists that ppl do w his character. it was the guy I imagined. yay

How do you feel about the JB age gap? Some people feel it is problematic and I wondered what you thought

tbh I once wrote like 500 words in response to an ask like this explaining why I don’t have a problem w the age gap and trying to justify it but atp I don’t think it’s even worth that level of dissection. I don’t need to justify it. Jaime and Brienne are both consenting adults and that’s really all there is to it.

as for the people who say it’s ‘problematic’ - honestly I don’t believe that they’re genuinely sat there troubled by the jb age gap. they’re reading asoiaf, where there are literally hundreds of other things they could be worrying about than two adults having consensual sex.

maybe there are a few people out there for whom the age gap is a bit of a personal ick, and like…. ok go with god if that’s you. but most of these people just don’t like the pairing because they ship a competing pairing/they don’t like Jaime and have made that part of their fandom identity/they enjoy maintaining a ‘Brienne deserves better’ shtick without ever meaningfully engaging with Brienne as a character (probably for one of the two former reasons actually), and the age gap discourse is how they try and make out that actually they’re right for hating jb and you should feel guilty and ashamed if you ship it.

and sorry to those people but I don’t feel bad at all. and I also don’t believe they truly give a shit, it’s purely performative and they’re just making up contrived reasons to make other ppl feel bad, bc that’s what fandom does.

ultimately if there’s any party equipped to be discussing the age gap, it’s jb fandom who are actually interested in the role it plays within the relationship. but really all it comes down to is the fact that Brienne has been an adult woman since she met Jaime (ppl will pretend she was 17 in ASOS to make their point and they’re lying - or what like you say you feel strongly about this but you can’t even check the wiki to see if you have ur facts straight?? lol), so w/e.

People tend to forget why age gap relationships are dangerous and problematic. When we talk about two consenting adults, it’s not really about age, it’s about the power imbalance it may create.

Now look at Jaime and Brienne’s relationship and provide me one example where Jaime being older gave him any kind of power over Brienne.

Let’s walk through their entire ASOS journey and take note of the power dynamics between the two.

this final season of a show is bad and disappointing and then fans designating a little actor man as a mascot to project their feelings onto cycle is so cringe to me like u r literally reaching into space and making all of this up that actor man doesnt care they were getting paid for a job and r friends with the ppl u r shitting on here u dont need official actor man to affirm u and u just sound like deranged tiktok celebrity body language analysts

this was particularly comical with game of thrones but it does happen every single time 😭 affirm me actor man…. affirm my feelings actor man….

...babe, what??
