Me watching in loop the same 5 Jacaela scenes with a different song bc that's all we got

their song actually!! alex wrote it with them in mind!!!!! he told me so himself!!!!!!

I can't help but think about how Jace and Baela were instantly drawn to each other from the moment they met. Seriously. They held hands right away. When she needed help later, she went straight to his room to wake him up. The way he defended her against Aemond. The way Jace fiercely shouted in front of everyone that Aemond had attacked Baela—as if it were the most unforgivable crime in the world. The fact that they grew up partly together. That they were so happy to be betrothed. That they were clearly looking forward to this outcome. The way they acted like a married couple from that point on. The way they used touch to comfort one another. The way Rhaenys looked at them when Jace placed his hand on Baela. The way Baela was always there for Jace emotionally. The way Jace always stood up for Baela, even at the council. The way they made the perfect team. Always in sync. The fact that Jace’s final actions were partly about protecting Baela. The way Baela screamed Jace’s name when she realized she couldn't save him this time. The fact that she’s literally going to retrieve his damn body to bring it back to Rhaenyra. The way she holds him on her dragon, right close to her. The way she imperceptibly tightens her grip on his lifeless body. The look of despair and sorrow she wears the whole time—and when she finally brings him back to Dragonstone, walking at the head of the men carrying his body... This relationship is absolutely insane. It’s going to be the death of me. Also, I’m convinced Jace was such a gentleman—that’s why he never kissed Baela. In his mind, it was surely completely out of the question before the marriage—not to mention all his insecurities surrounding his conception and birth. There is also the fact that Jace would likely have had only Baela as a lover in his life! Fuck you Aegon II for mocking that! And let’s talk about that scene, actually! How Aegon II makes lewd remarks in front of Jace—who rises from his seat but instantly calms down the moment Baela say his name! I mean... they would have made the perfect king and queen.

Actually, when I think about it, a romantic relationship between Jace and Baela would fit perfectly within the framework of *Fire & Blood*. I mean... why not? It’s clear Jace was faithful to her. Originally, Baela didn't want to leave him—she even wanted to marry him—but Jace wanted to wait until the war was over. If I recall correctly, Baela flirting with boys happens well after Jace's death, unless I'm mistaken. So, it could totally work. And don't try to tell me Baela didn't mourn Jace's death in the book. It's written like a historical chronicle, so obviously, we aren't going to get every single detail. But do you really think Baela didn't grieve for the boy she grew up with—because yes, in the book, Baela wasn't raised by Rhaenys, but by Daemyra—the one she’d been betrothed to forever, the one she wanted to stay by the side of, and so on? Or that she didn't weep for the loss of her other brothers? Of course she did! You just have to think about it for a second! And don't tell me that Baela flirting with boys after Jace died means she didn't love him. Not everyone handles grief the same way. Anyway, whether it's the platonic or romantic version of "Jacaela," I support both.
