to give cersei credit, despite not receiving the education reserved for a male heir, she seems to know as much as (or more than) jaime about recent targaryen history. tyrion's obviously the most well-read of the siblings, but the situation speaks to how little tywin understood his own children.

#did tywin never realize his jock son who dropped out at 15 to join a celibate order #and only reads books that have knights in them if at all #might be unqualified to govern one of the great houses of the seven kingdoms #even in tywin's delusional mind palace in which jaime could inherit

Fighting Cersei opinions is so hard because I hate when people call her dumb but she actually is dumb, it's just that her delusion and paranoia is making her make these stupid decisions and it is fact that her training and education was mostly what suited a lady so she isn't exactly taught some political things but there isn't this considerable Tywin - Cersei gap where Cersei is just so stupid, she isn't dumb that way at all.

ive said this before but we get inside of her head by a point where she is overcome by grief and paranoia. her shortcomings and incompetence at ruling and politicking can be tracked back to how she was withheld the education that her brothers had access to, was shoved aside by her misogynistic father and reared to be his submissive chess piece to be sold to serve and please the men in her life, and that she thoroughly internalized her father’s flawed world views. she is self-centered, impulsive, arrogant, traumatized, paranoid and inexperienced with being in a true position of power, not to mention how utterly terrified she is of losing power so she is hesitant about trusting or following advice from anyone. on top of that nobody respects her or takes her seriously at all because of her gender, which is an incredible disadvantage.

#tywin's delusions manifest more in cersei and tyrion than jaime because he /controlled/ so much more of their lives #tywin moved cersei strategically between casterly rock and the court until her marriage. and she was no freer with an abusive husband.#jaime left casterly rock as a preteen and served (for better and worse) men who were not lannisters #but cersei and tyrion's outside influences in childhood were visiting lannister aunts and uncles who ultimately deferred to tywin #and cersei's right in a way? there are factions seeking to exploit and undermine her at any opportunity #tywin's vicious but ultimately short-sighted model of government is more appealing and effective than robert's drunken blundering #those are the models (in the absence of the kind of education reserved for men) she learned from

Happy Brienne Week y'all !!! Here is my participation to the festivities.

Having scarcely drawn the chivalrous lady, I took liberties in my design. Some elements are straight out of my own imaginary, some are derived from the series, and some are sourced from fanart. @swordmaid 's has been a personal favourite and a great inspiration to root my rendition of the Lady Knight.

This illustration was made for the first day of Brienne Week [Day one - No Chance, No Choice - Duty, Chivalry, Honour | Protector, Heroism]

Shout out to @brienneweek for organising this grandiose event.

#brienne of tarth #fanart #love the design choices

We may have more info on Renly's hair than on that of any other character in the series thanks to Brienne taking a break from her description of Gendry to give a dissertation on it

a good faith brienne theory has to acknowledge that if she exists to die to "make jaime sad" then grrm has done a terrible job of writing to that end point. grrm could have killed her off in asos and saved himself 8 chapters in affc. he could have killed her off in affc and had jaime realize when captured by the brotherhood. he even revised 3 chapters (brienne vii -> brienne vii/viii, jaime vii) in a book he was late delivering to his publisher so brienne, not hildy, lures jaime away from his camp. crafting an alternative capture scenario in which kevan, cersei (and countless others by the time word reaches king's landing) learn jaime went awol with brienne was a bizarre choice if he intends to write her out and isolate the consequences to jaime's povs.

this isn't to say that brienne can't be killed off or her story couldn't end tragically, but grrm has spent too much time developing her arc for it to read as a satisfactory accessory plot to jaime's. her death, which i doubt would happen in winds anyway, would conclude a story that grew out of a minor thread of acok into an independent narrative integral to asoiaf's representation of justice, retribution, and honor.

#brienne of tarth #can't believe we are getting fake leaks with brienne committing suicide in a trial by combat to this day #thinking about i dreamed of you (1998) i dreamed of you (2000) i dreamed of you (2010) again #and how dunk isn't subject to commentary that boils down to “here's why this woman is too honorable to live"

it's actually crazy that catelyn straight up kills a dude in the first book and it's never brought up ever again

thre is a passage in ACOK where she's talking to brienne and says something like "ned always got really somber when he had to kill someone but I don't think I would mind it 😊" which is already an INSANE thing to say holy shit

but like girl you literally slit a guy's throat 3 months ago what the fuck are you talking about

#and then she does it again in asos #the funny part of the cat/brienne dynamic is that in acok only one of them has killed a man before #and it’s not the woman who beat dozens of trained knights in a melee

Hiii! I'm trying to make an archive for asoiaf calendars in a small turkish asoiaf forum and ur posts helped a lot with the 2014 calendar, probably wouldnt finish that one if it wasnt for u, thanks a lot!! xoxo

thank you! i’d love to finish processing the rest of the color spreads from gary gianni’s asoiaf artbook some day, as the versions of those calendar illustrations circulating online are pretty low res.

Crazy that Daeron's "I dreamed of you" in The Hedge Knight (1998) was likely written--at least, published--before Jaime's "I dreamed of you" in A Storm of Swords (2000). Feels like Thee "I dreamed of you" was first.

#the reason bnfs invested in the got lannisters do not want to touch “i dreamed of you” in its full context with a ten-foot pole #or gloss it as “i guess jaime likes her” or “she's a true knight like dunk” or a banal easter egg from grrm #is that if it's anything like the dragon dreams in akotsk it implies that brienne is a witness/accessory to the fall of house lannister #which would be very dunk of her but not very jonquil darke or pretty meris of her

i apologize for cutting jaime's infamous wobbly legs simile from that graphic. it was not out of prudishness but out of fear of getting flagged again.

Her arm was all gooseflesh, clammy and chilled, but she was strong, and gentler than he would have thought. Gentler than Cersei, he thought as she helped him from the tub...

#valyrianscrolls #jaime lannister #cersei lannister #brienne of tarth #jaime can't conceive of a relationship with anyone but cersei in asos #he knows brienne is more willing to perform caregiving tasks in his illness to fulfill an oath to catelyn #than cersei would be willing to perform out of love #that conversation with cersei fascinates me bc they both know he can't shave himself anymore #he /has/ to order someone to do it for him but refuses to do so #it's about power and submission *and* disability
