i think the most frustrating thing about jaime/cersei shippers is that they completely, wholly and literally single-handedly missed the point of why twincest is gross and unhealthy and how celebrating it, misinterprets both jaime and cersei to a nth degree

we are told/shown that their relationship started out as confused children who mostly didnt know better. but when they're on the cusp of adulthood, cersei initiates their sexual relationship through manipulation and coercion. and its because of this coerced relationship and the circumstances that followed (jaime joining the kingsguard and taking a vow of celibacy), jaime has only been with one person in his whole life and fathers her children whilst having next to no relationship with them, meanwhile cersei got to know her fair share of various lovers and parent her children (most joffrey) as she saw fit.

i think the most heartbreaking quote regarding their twisted relationship is from a jaime pov chapter: “I don't have a wife, I have a sister" and to see these shippers in turn romanticize that line instead of them seeing the utter tragedy in a statement like that (re: see above) is mindblowing. seeing tweets like "jaime looked his best in season 1 and/or season 4" (the seasons in which he is the most devoted to cersei and coincidentally in which he looked the most clean cut and put together, just like cersei says so he can be her mirror image)

the show certainly did no favors towards showing the inherent fucked-up ness of their relationship but the canon facts i listed are still the same in that canon too. and i think the overwhelmingly negative reaction to their critically panned ending (jaime leaving somebody who loves him for being wholly himself for cersei, who only saw herself in him and what he can do for her and dying without facing the true repercussions of her actions) also speaks for itself.

idk how to end this but like. its just crazy for me to see this for like 4 years now
