So I was reminded that today is the 5th anniversary of the universally hated Game of Thrones series finale and here's a friendly reminder that the only good thing to come out of that mess was from the brilliant Ramin Djawadi who in the end gave us J/B shippers this amazing gift. I am eternally grateful to him for this.

[ladylou1212]

Yes, this!!!! Absolutely!!!! He was trying so hard to protect her and get her away from Cersei again… just like when he sent her away to find Sansa Stark. And after the looks that Cersei had just seen pass between them in the dragon pit, be was desperate! He was thinking… “Hey, keep it on the down low! She’s crazy and I don’t want her to know I have feelings for you.” And poor Brienne didn’t understand, she was just trying to talk sense into him like was always able to do. ❤️🫶❤️🫶❣️❣️❣️😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰 Also that look and teensy tiny little hesitation in his walk when he walked into the dragon pit and saw her… OMG! He was like… “What the hell are you doing here??? You’re supposed to be safe in the North. I’ll have to control myself.” They are so in love with each other!!!!!!❤️❣️❤️❣️

but that look after fuck loyalty literally was jaime looking at brienne like “don’t talk to me cersei would eat you alive if she knew” but brienne didn’t pick up on that and she looked so hurt my little bean :(

[ladylou1212]

Absolutely!!! ❤️😍😍😍 This 💯%!!!! Also,do you ever think about how just a few minutes before he was being “hateful” he shared her bed for the last time and had to tear himself away… sitting at the edge of the bed, for who knows how long, talking himself into leaving the woman he loved to go back and put an end to his sister’s madness after staying in the North the entire time it seemed that she would lose the war, only the leave after the tides turned and it looked like she might win. All this after his brother asked him if he was staying in the North and he said yes… even though Cersei was losing (which he obviously didn’t care about since he was going to stay and let her lose). Do you also ever think about how when he got back to King’s Landing he wasn’t loving to Cersei at all and didn’t run straight to her and especially didn’t kiss her or treat her in any way other than a brother… and even that was weird and different. If that doesn’t scream who he was in love with then I don’t know what does. This man loved this woman and kept her safe to the end!

You ever think about how just a few moments before Jaime claimed he was “hateful” he gently stroked Brienne’s hand with his thumb

Everything about GOT has a hidden meaning. This pic absolutely shows Jaime watching over Brienne and not Cersei. The foreshadowing is undeniable. Had we been given more time in season 8 we would have seen the real ending.

Even in the promo poster for S8, Jaime and Brienne are together in death...he's even watching over her ffs!!

Cersei is alone.

You can't tell me there wasn't another ending, that GRRM didn't tell the dastardly duo D&D where JB's story arc was going...

They ripped everything to shreds for shits and giggles!

Still furious!!😡🤬😡🤬

[ladylou1212]

This!!!! This!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍

2323857349587348964 day of me thinking how Jaime and Brienne paralled each other even before they met.

Of how both of them chose to become Kingsguards, choosing to give up their titles, the possibility to marry and being parents and their lives itself because of love for two people who not only didn't love them in return, but didn't really care about them not even a little bit while they were ready to die for them and how this led to them meeting each other, going from hating each other to falling in love with each other even if they have to realize it and admit to themselves because they are idiots and how when they will be finally together after they admitted their actual feelings they will be crazly in love and happy because for the first time in their lives they'll get to experience how it feels being the first choice for someone and being loved for what they are in return and having one person who is ready to die for them when all their lives they were the one sacrificing and willing to do that without anyone doing that for them ever in this essay I will---

[ladylou1212]

Yes!!! This!!! This is cannon!!!👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍

"It's bloody hot in here"

We are in 2024 and I still see (stupid) people claiming that Braime shouldn't have happened because it was "awkward" and they use as argument Jaime saying to Brienne "It's bloody hot in here" making memes of how Jaime looks like a stupid teenager at the first crush and how his flirting sucks.

But the thing is that.. his flirting IS SUPPOSED to sucks. Jaime Lannister is a 40+ years old man who has been all his life in an abusive and incestual relationship with his sister who manipulated him since they were kids and used sex to have something from him in return and because of that he never slept with another woman because he never felt attraction for another woman.. until now. Brienne is the first woman he sexually and romantically desired outside his sister so IT'S HIS FIRST TIME TRYING TO SEDUCE A WOMAN.

Just look at him. The awkward smile, the eyes constantly moving. HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING. HE IS SO NERVOUS HE CAN'T EVEN UNDRESS HIMSELF.

And Brienne is as awkward as him. She is a virgin who has been mocked because of her appearance since ever, she wasn't estethically attractive and she knew. She never knew what it meant being courted or desired because she thought this day for her wouldn't come. So after Jaime patethic way of flirting she initially doesn't understand what the fuck is going on and gets confused, until she realized what is happening and all you can see is her completely disbelief.

The scene is supposed to be awkward because Jaime and Brienne are feeling awkward. Because it's their first time. Because they are getting vulnerable to someone who they disliked at first, but that now they love. Because they are living something that they never thought it would happen to them.

Just another prove of how Nikolaj Coster Waldau and Gwendoline Christie always understood their characters. While these people never did.

BONUS Jaime's face when he realized it's finally happening MY GOD I CAN'T WITH THESE TWO-

[ladylou1212]

Love this! This absolutely 💯 %!!!! right!!!🥰❤️😘😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗❤️

broke: jaime x brienne classic enemies to lovers ship

woke: jaime x brienne is only enemies to lovers if you look at it from brienne's pov. from jaime's pov it's ACTUALLY friends to lovers because that man dubbed her his bffl basically the moment they met. all his denials, down to the sword fight, were empty ways to appease the part of him that thought she should be his enemy when all he literally ever wanted was for her to like him.

[ladylou1212]

This!!!!!

[ladylou1212]

Congratulations Jaime and Brienne fandom for hitting this incredible milestone! 🎉

Jaime and Brienne have been the #1 Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire relationship at Archive of our Own for years and now it is the first ship in this fandom to break 10,000!

The love for JB still grows! Happy day! We appreciate and thank all the lovely JB fanfic writers of the past and present!

[ladylou1212]

Absolutely!!!

A maybe slightly controversial take I have is that Jaime, Cersei, and Brienne are not in a love triangle. Jaime just breaks up with Cersei and there is a possibility he will get with Brienne in the future. He's a one woman bloke.

Jaime was the victim!

When it comes to twincest and their relationship, Jaime Lannister is the victim. Cersei Lannister is an abuser. Mutual abuse doesn’t exist.

I had both a tumblr interaction and I saw a Reddit post on r/asoiaf mainly talking about the sane thing. How Jaime was toxic to Cersei and that the relationship was mutually abusive. In the Reddit post specifically, they talk about how Jaime r*aped Cersei by coercion because of an specific quote of hers where she thinks of him (with a smile) when another character mentions a situation where she felt like she couldn’t say no and asks Cersei if she ever lived the same.

So I decided to write this down because much like @ginmo did once, it’s absolutely infuriating that in the year of 2023, we have such a hard time identifying a male victim of abuse.

I’m gonna use the old “reverse the genders” argument here because unlike most cases, I think this is one of the rare situations where it can be applied, because even though Jaime and Cersei live in a very patriarchal society and he is a man, he is in a rare position where he doesn’t hold power over her in terms of their social hierarchy and overall relationship dynamic. Thats not to say that a man can’t be a victim of abuse even in a patriarchal society where the social structure favors him to be the one in power. Because while misogyny and male privilege is often tied with domestic violence, and used as tools to abuse female victims, they aren’t necessarily fundamental for abuse to happen. And reversing the roles in this particular situation is interesting because it shows how much gender bias blinds people to the obviousness of their dynamic. As if a veil is lifted and you see what would be so easily identified if Jaime had been a woman and Cersei, a man. So let’s do that, lets reverse their roles.

Here are the Lannister twins. From an early age, they engaged in sexual interactions. One of the twins, the boy, from an early age impressed upon the other twin, the girl, that they belong together, are one soul in two bodies, they were born together so they will die together, that they are soulmates and actually one person. The girl of course, buys into all of that. This same twin, the boy, from an early age shows not only a dominant personality but also actions that speak of a flawed character. This twin brother sexually/physically assaulted their other sibling once for example (by twisting his penis when he was a baby). This twin brother, by age 12, murders his best friend because said best friend showed an interest in his twin sister. This twin brother seduces and manipulates his twin sister by spending an entire night having sex with his sister for the first time when they are teens, not allowing her to sleep properly the entire night so they have sex, while talking about how they will be separated forever if the twin sister doesn’t accept what he’s proposing, that is a small price to pay and his twin sister needs to agree in giving up her birthright so she can take a role where she will lose everything she was supposed to become (a mother, a wife and the lady of her house) so she can stay beside him forever in court. Like that, the twin sister will only ever be with him, no one else. All of that while the twin brother had always intended on actually marrying someone else, someone this twin brother has actually desired his entire life since he was young, even though said twin brother couldn’t stand the thought of someone wanting his twin sister (again, murdered his best friend because of that). And the only reason the twin brother didn’t marry the one he wanted was because they died. And in this whole scenario, the twin sister has no idea about these thoughts and feelings of his twin brother, she truly believes they are soulmates and love each other in a way they can’t be apart, she fully believes in everything her twin brother has said about them being one soul in two bodies etc etc.

The years pass, they carry on with their affair, the twin brother withholds and uses sex/affection as punishment/reward against his twin sister, establishes a dynamic where it must be always the twin sister coming to him, he will never do the same, actually gets off on the idea of his twin sister being so irresistibly attracted to him that she can’t take no for an answer and liked the power play this gives him. The twin brother was also frequently physically abusive towards the twin sisters, which she was used to and managed to diffuse the situation by turning the slaps she received into them having sex. Later in the story, when both twins have committed horrible horrible crimes for each other, with the twin sister going as far as almost killing a child to protect the twin brother, among other terrible stuff, the twin sister starts to show some personal growth after going through some hard times and becoming disabled. The twin brother insults the twin sister physically and verbally, and often actually assaults her physically by slapping her when she doesn’t agree with him or accepts doing something for him. The twin sister then finds out that the twin brother has actually lied to her, he has slept with other people many times even though he didn’t actually need it (he had other ways of making those people do his biding because of the position he holds in their social hierarchy), but he has done that anyway and lied to his twin sister about it, pretending that outside of a marriage he was forced to enter he had never been with anyone else outside his twin sister.

Are you gonna tell me this is a relationship where both parties hold equal power? Are you gonna tell me the twin sister is as much at fault as the twin brother? Because whoever says yes is absolutely lying, don’t even bother. And if you are honest with yourself and recognizes that no, you don’t think that and actually sees how the twin sister is clearly being abused, how is that different then when you reverse them to their original genders? Because I haven’t added anything there that is not present in their canon relationship. Notice I have addressed the privileges/lack of that come with their respective positions (the twin sister inheriting her house seat/ the twin brother forced into a marriage he doesn’t want). That the twin sister is often the one seeking the twin brother and not accepting a no from the twin brother. So if you can see this relationship for what it is when the genders are switched, how can you not do the same for a male victim?

Now something else to consider: There’s a big difference between toxic relationships vs abusive relationships. And a difference between a toxic person vs an abusive one. Not all toxic relationships are abusive; however, all abusive relationships can be considered toxic. In a toxic relationship, there is usually a lack of respect and a violation of boundaries. But this behavior occurs without the person or people involved even realizing they're doing it. They normalized it. They aren’t trying to control their partner.

Usually, every victim in an abusive relationship is a toxic person. Tbh, is almost impossible to survive an abusive relationship without becoming toxic yourself and engaging in toxic behavior. But that doesn’t mean the person is abusive, because a key element is missing: they aren’t intentionally doing that to exert control over the other party in the relationship.

All of this is to say: I honestly cannot understand how people have such a hard time understanding that, within the dynamics of Cersei and Jaime, she is the abuser. Mutual abuse doesn’t exist. Abuse is about an imbalance of power and control.

They are both incredible toxic people, there’s no denying that. Possessive, jealous, engaged in some dubious sexual dynamic, violent… all of this. But only one of them tries to exert control over the other. Only one of them intentionally tries to dictate how the other should behave and intentionally harm the other when they don’t conform to what they want. Only one of them displays a pattern of behaviors used to gain or maintain power and control.

This is not to say Jaime is a wonderful angel who has never done anything wrong in his life. Is just to say that, within his relationship with Cersei, Jaime is the victim. He’s just not a perfect one.

So, no, I don’t think Jaime r*ped Cersei by coercing her into sex because their pre established dynamic within their relationship is so incredibly disturbing and toxic that Jaime coming to her, asking and begging and ultimately not accepting being denied is actually something that Cersei likes, and is used as a power play where she can exert control and dominate him. No, I don’t think Jaime and Cersei are mutually abusive because this doesn’t exist and even if it did, he is not the one trying to exert control towards her.

Jaime Lannister is a toxic person. Jaime Lannister is a victim of abuse. Cersei Lannister is an abuser. Period.

This! This! This!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

CAN WE TALK ABOUT JAIME’S FACE??????

He’s soooo in love <3 

~Nikolaj is such a great actor ~

[ladylou1212]

Friendly reminder that Jaime, someone who has always been very romantic, chose to not kiss Cersei in their last moments, so he chose to die knowing that the last woman he kissed/loved/with whom has been in a romantic way was Brienne and he was totally ok with that.

[ladylou1212]

This is amazing! And 💯 % what happened,

[ladylou1212]

Love how these J/C shipping idiots hide behind “Anon”… I can’t even anymore. I’d suggest they go back and watch the show but they only watched it for the incest anyway. Anything else they wouldn’t understand. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤢🤢

You know how I can tell they didn’t understand the show???? Look at their comment. Did they actually just say Braime is a dead ship?????🤣🤣🤣 They need to look at the stats… in everything (posts, blogs, fanfics, etc.) Braime outdoes J/C by four or five times or even more. In fanfics it’s by something like almost 10,000. How do you expect them to understand the show…. these pathetic fools can’t understand real life. How embarrassing! 😬😬😬🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤪🤪🤪😜😜😜

You're such a loser. You harass JC shippers because you're so butthurt that your ship died. Jaime chose Cersei, get over it. Brienne was a drunken mistake that he regretted the next morning. Go cry now.

A JxC shipper calls anyone else a loser!😅🤣😂 Then it gives an exact reason why it had absolutely no understanding of the story. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Whatever, you subhuman freak of nature. Go touch the grass and try not think about how bad you want to f*ck your own siblings. Perv!

[ladylou1212]

a recent post has me wondering.... how many Jaime/Brienne shippers are here on tumblr? reblog, and lets find out.
