Canon Cersei Lannister 😭

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

“Would it amuse Your Grace to be a man one night?”

“Only if you remained a woman.”

“It was a pity Taena could not serve as Hand. She was thrice the man her husband was, and far more amusing.”

“I know that we shall be great friends.”

Taena of Myr & Cersei Lannister

I need her to burn kingslading after that little walk 🥀

Nodding wisely to myself as I pull this together

Queen Cersei Lannister, as described in ASOIAF

"Mounted on her white palfrey, Cersei towered high above him, a goddess in green."

"Cersei fixed him with those clear green eyes of hers, beautiful even in their contempt."

"At the council table, Queen Cersei shimmered in a cloth-of-gold gown slashed in burgundy velvet."

"She had never looked more beautiful than she did that day, with a smile on her lips and the autumn sunlight shining on her golden hair. Whatever else one might say about his sister, she did know how to make men love her when she cared enough to try."

"Cersei Lannister's face seemed to float before him in the darkness. Her hair was full of sunlight, but there was mockery in her smile. 'When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die,' she whispered."

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

I get you Cat 🐱 you want that blonde kitty

the most delusional cersei hater take is that she want that hot she was just vain and “the light in the west” thing is clearly some hag cope. meanwhile every cat chapter she’s like “you gotta give cersei credit. she’s the baddest bitch in the south. i don’t even fw her but i can’t deny her long golden hair and massive tits”

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

“My brother is worth a thousand of your friend.”

“Your brother?” Ned said. “Or your lover?”

“Both.” She did not flinch from the truth. “Since we were children together. And why not? The Targaryens wed brother to sister for three hundred years, to keep bloodlines pure. And Jaime and I are more than brother and sister. We are one person in two bodies. We shared a womb together. He came into this world holding my foot, our old maester said. When he is in me I feel… whole.” The ghost of a smile flitted over her lips.

I'm always impressed by how Cersei is unfazed and unashamed of their insestuous relationship and smiles slightly when she tells Ned that when Jaime is inside her she feels...whole.

Freakiest girl ever.

Love her anyway.

When I see this photo, I can’t blame her either.

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

cersei killing robert was literally the most unambiguously ethically good thing she ever did idrc

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

Cersei in WoW if she's really going to be the one going all scorched earth tactics instead of JonCon just like in the show:

She is me I am her

cersei loves jaime

the idea that jaime loves cersei in a genuine and true way while cersei only wants to take advantage of jaime and loves him as an extension of herself is completely misogynistic. cersei really does love jaime, expressly for the person he is. what makes the cersei/jaime affair toxic (especially in affc/adwd) is that jaime was given a list of names by tyrion of men cersei has slept with, and it completely destroys his trust in her

"Cersei is a lying whore, she's been fucking Lancel and Osmund Kettleblack and probably Moon Boy for all I know..." - Jaime I, AFFC

Lancel and Ser Osmund and how many more? Was the part about Moon Boy just a gibe? - Jaime IV, AFFC

i shit you not, jaime thinks of this moment 10 times across his 7 chapters in AFFC. This wedge is further agitated by cersei's (rightful!!!) paranoia about the tyrells and tommen. it's in the moments where jaime is most flippant with tommen's safety that she is cruelest towards him. she isn't angry that her mini-me isn't doing exactly what she asks. she's angry that, days after their first child AND father's deaths, jaime shows callous disregard for their only remaining child's safety (with myrcella in dorne)

but it's completely ridiculous to say cersei doesn't love jaime. he's her first choice to be her new hand as regent:

"We are his heirs, Jaime," she whispered. "It will be up to us to finish his work. You must take Father's place as Hand. You see that now, surely. Tommen will need you . . ." - Cersei I, AFFC

ignore the lannister facsism my girl was lowkey drinking the kool aid. NEVERTHELESS him denying her here really does fuck with her head and become another in a long list of abandonments she deals with in AFFC

but wait! you say. she immediately says this to kevan afterwards:

"Jaime . . . Jaime has taken vows. Jaime never thinks, he laughs at everything and everyone and says whatever comes into his head. Jaime is a handsome fool." - Cersei II, AFFC

this line could be damning. it's not kind, and it's not entirely accurate (though it is accurate the the persona that jaime puts on). but it also comes at a crucial moment in the "breaking" of cersei, which is when she realizes that she is not tywin's heir. she married robert. she gave him grandchildren. she restored him to hand of the king. and yet.

"I shall set matters aright!" Cersei softened her tone. "With your help, Uncle. If you will serve me as faithfully as you served my father—" "You are not your father. And Tywin always regarded Jaime as his rightful heir." - Cersei II, AFFC

Though he was ten years her junior, he wanted her; Cersei could see it in the way he looked at her. Men had been looking at her that way since her breasts began to bud. Because I was so beautiful, they said, but Jaime was beautiful as well, and they never looked at him that way. When she was small she would sometimes don her brother's clothing as a lark. She was always startled by how differently men treated her when they thought that she was Jaime. Even Lord Tywin himself... - Cersei IV, AFFC

cersei isn't being cruel to jaime because he rejected her. she's being cruel because kevan and tywin have rejected her as a possible heir.

prophecy paranoia also gets to her

Jaime did not understand. No one understood. Only Melara had been in the tent to hear the old hag's croaking threats, and Melara was long dead. ... There is no one I can rely upon, not even Jaime, she realized grimly. - Cersei III, AFFC

but i promise you, under all of this, cersei still has a huge crush on jaime

she thinks of him very highly in regards to his tourney wins

No man will stand before him." Margaery Tyrell gave the queen a coy smile. "But I never knew that King Robert was so accomplished at the joust. Pray tell us, Your Grace, what tourneys did he win? What great knights did he unseat? I know the king should like to hear about his father's victories." A flush crept up Cersei's neck. The girl had caught her out. Robert Baratheon had been an indifferent jouster, in truth. During tourneys he had much preferred the mêlée, where he could beat men bloody with blunted axe or hammer. It had been Jaime she had been thinking of when she spoke. - Cersei V, AFFC

she frequently thinks back on his words

Jaime always said that the hardest part of any battle is just before, waiting for the carnage to begin. When she stepped outside, Cersei saw that the sky was grey and bleak. - Cersei X, AFFC

including some truly terrible jokes im sorry cersei but theres no defending this one

The dank and dismal fortnight Cersei spent at Greenstone, the seat of House Estermont, was the longest of her young life. Jaime dubbed the castle "Greenshit" at first sight, and soon had Cersei doing it too.  - Cersei V, AFFC

these little moments highlight that cersei does see jaime's personality, his jokes, his skill for battle and jousting, and they're not traits she envies for herself. we NEVER see cers wish she was funnier, and while she expresses a desire to be a man, she never really expresses a desire to wield a sword like the other warrior maids we meet in the series (brienne, arya, asha). she describes jaime as her sword arm, but that too is playing off of jaime's own projections of himself. cersei wants to be a great king, and jaime wants to be a great kingsguard.

the "extension of herself" theory only works if cersei is keeping jaime in a subservient position to her, which is countered by the fact he time and time again refuses power that would upset his position as kingsguard. it would also make sense if she only lauded jaime's traits that were similar to hers, which she obviously doesn't. cersei truly loves jaime, but that love becomes corrupted by the blood that is required for its sustanence (jon arryn, bran, ned, joffrey, etc.)

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

I’ve been saying this, it’s simply tragic.

There’s something so tragic about Cersei hating Robert (rightfully so) but becoming him all the same.

She hates ruling but loves the power it gives her over others. She drinks heavily. Abuses those around her. She fantasizes about a life with Rhaegar a man she never knew and never loved in the same way that Robert obsessed over Lyanna. She becomes someone that even Tommen (her son whom she loves dearly) fears. It mirrors the ways in which Robert abused Joffrey, but she hurts Tommen emotionally as opposed to physically.

All her life she wanted to be Jaime but instead she becomes the man she despised.

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

need her so bad its physically hurting me

try not to say mother challenge

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

My queen just wanted her silver prince 💔😭

cersei’s fangirl phase (and her fanmade rhaegar doll she plays house with)

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

The hate-sex would have been amazing.

rereading acok.... show me a catelyn chapter where she doesn't think about cersei and what cersei's doing and how cersei feels or what cersei's wearing or how cersei's hair falls around her chest and shoulders.......

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

The rule was hers; Cersei did not mean to give it up until Tommen came of age. I waited, so can he. I waited half my life. She had played the dutiful daughter, the blushing bride, the pliant wife. She had suffered Robert’s drunken groping, Jaime’s jealousy, Renly’s mockery, Varys with his titters, Stannis endlessly grinding his teeth. She had contended with Jon Arryn, Ned Stark, and her vile, treacherous, murderous dwarf brother, all the while promising herself that one day it would be her turn. Cersei V - A Feast For Crows

One of Cersei best quotes is this one, her inner monologue is in my opinion the greatest in all the ASOIAF series, you can see her bitterness, resentment, madness and even her pride when she thinks her decisions are "smart" and i think that she wasn't always this paranoid and unstable but since her prophecy is coming slowly true (her son and father death, Margaery probably being the more beautiful and younger queen and Tyrion supossedly being the killer of Joffrey and Tywin) it's understandable her paranoia considering she has psychosis, Cersei biggest problem is that she wants to be loved and wants to be seen as perfect, she thinks that power and control will give her love and perfection but she behaves worse than ever and she underestimates everyone around her now that she is in total control and everything starts going wrong and she gets humillated publicly and loses everything she worked for, her alcholism, her weight gain and she bedding Taena + the Kettleblack brothers, she starts becoming in the one person she hated the most (Robert) and its tragic. Im looking foward to what's in store for Cersei in The Winds Of Winter and seeing it's outcome since Cersei being crowned ruling Queen in the series makes no sense at all.

Mother Cuntress you shall never be forgotten.

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

I’m still on book one and have very little idea of what the outfits look like, I just googled some screenshots lol

I desperately need to talk about this series, so hiii. My favs are Cersei, Sansa and Arya. I also like Dany, Jon and Catelyn

[rrrrrrrmmmm]

I think it’s Sansa or Daenerys, I doubt that Brienne could ever be, she is not beautiful but probably is Sansa cause she is learning everything from little finger and will be 1000x times smarter than Cersei.

sometimes when you guys discuss who is the REAL younger more beautiful queen you sound exactly like cersei. it's no one and it's everyone. it's the idea of a younger more beautiful queen simply existing. cersei thinks it's sansa, then thinks it's margaery, and it is. because cersei's crazy paranoid brain has done the work for her. the ymbq as a figment of her imagination has actually cast her down and taken all she holds dear.
