Hiiii! 💕💕 if you want could you do something like “imagine being in love with both Brienne and Jaime” 🥺

This was such an interesting ask! A shame I took so long to answer haha.

Knowing Brienne first would mean following her through much of her journey, at least when Catlyn tasked her with taking the Kingslayer to King's Landing. If you're a lady, she's exceptionally protective. It helps if you're also a fighter, so she doesn't have to defend you as much, but she won't complain. She swore to protect you as well, and she always will. She won't fault you for not being as strong or capable as her; rather, she appreciates your loyalty and company immensely.

Jaime would be the one who was always teasing you. He's got a mess of a relationship with Cersei, so the idea that he actually liked someone else may get him defensive. He'll tease you like boys do, even when you're both grown - especially if you can fight. You know how he constantly mocks Brienne, yet respects her, and he's so bone-headed about that admiration? Yup.

And of course, you're most likely to end up around both of them during the Roadtrip From Hell. Brienne is even more protective of you because of Jaime, and Jaime is actually jealous of your supposed closeness to her. There starts to be several situations where they each expect you to take a side, especially since they're on literal opposite sides of the war.

(Note if you never knew Jaime but know Brienne, Jaime can't believe he's stuck with two stubborn, annoying women. If you knew Jaime but not Brienne, she tries to reason with you and often scolds Jaime for not looking after you well enough).

And just like Jaime and Brienne are pretty damn oblivious to their feelings for each other, they're oblivious to how they feel about you... except.

Brienne absolutely giving Jaime a talking to about being "proper" with you (regardless if you're a lady or not), watching his tongue around you, getting flustered and angry when he talks about your looks or virtue ...

and Jaime constantly bugging Brienne to let you have fun for once, always trying to annoy you and get your attention, being surprisingly gentle with you (only to do something asshole-y an hour later), lowkey making sure you're eating and sleeping enough...

Yes, they're both hopeless. This is even more ridiculous if they like each other in addition to you. You might actually have the only braincell in this trio.

Brienne would be the one to realize you and Jaime's feelings first, and she'd be willing to "step aside", even if it hurts. She doesn't believe for a second that you or Jaime would pick her. On the other hand, Jaime selfishly wants you both for himself (ha) but he's certainly in denial about it. Whenever you and Brienne are being sweet and affectionate to each other, he gets both a powerful yearning and jealousy.

(Seriously, you will have to be the braincell until everyone is on the same page).

You'd likely be the glue who helps them realize that they're a good team and they care for each other, and they have more ideals in common than they think!

They're both also very protective - again, it doesn't matter if you're a capable fighter. Does not matter. If you're upset or threatened, you have two incredibly talented knights right at your side, glaring the person down and daring them to say something (yes, even after Jaime loses his hand. He don't care). You also bring out different sides of them. You get to see Jaime's more vulnerable and softer side, and you get all of Brienne's affection and love she's always wanted to give but no one wanted to have. You're absolutely spoiled and cared for!

For the Meme for Shippers: 1, 2, 5, 12, 18, 20, 21, 26, 32 and 39 (thats a lot os questions im sorry haha)

omg HAHAHA thank you!!

01 - Talk about the first ship you ever had

That’s a bit hard to pick because I was honestly shipping stuff before I even understood what shipping was - like I remember being a literal child and watching Digimon 4 and being extremely upset when Izumi ended up with Takuya instead of Koji lol. So it’s hard figuring out what the first shop was.

I can say, though, that the first ship I was, like, consciously into, that I started reading/writing fic for and that got me into fandom was Ron/Hermione. It’s still a ship that means a lot to me today, and still, imo, one of the best straight canon pairings of any series, ever. It was super formative to me, it helped me make friends and develop my writing, and to this day I can see traces of R/Hr in the dynamics I enjoy. It’s the Ultimate Good Ship, to me.

2 - Talk about three of the most important ships throughout your life.

Well, first one was Ron/Hermione, easy. Then… As I grew up I got into anime fandons and I fell in love with One Piece and specifically with the idea of Zoro/Robin - they were my favorite characters (especially Zoro, who remains on my Hall of All-Time Faves to this day) and they had this interesting tension that immediately sparked my interest. It was a small ship, but in the brazilian fandom I wrote A LOT for them, often along with a girl who was one of my closest fandom friends at the time. It was AWESOME, we used to talk about them for hours, and my writing also developed a lot. One Piece as a whole meant a lot to me at the time, and shipping Zorobin allowed me to channel all that love into creative energy. It was great.

Then time passed and I got into Glee (lol rio past me) and I was obsessed with Kurt Hummel as a character, so for a while I basically read every Kurt/Original Male Character fic I could get my hands on - the hiatus between s1 and S2, when all we knew about season 2 was that Kurt Would Get a Boyfriend, was probably my greatest time in the Glee fandom. Of course, everything went downhill when Kurt’s Actual Boyfriend was introduced and he turned out to be The Most Annoying Character In The History of Everything (to this day, Blaine remains on my Hall of Hated Characters). Then I was stuck in Glee fandom hell, and I read a lot of Kurtofsky, Kurt/Sam, even Puckurt sometimes. It was my way of surviving lol I also discovered Brittana at the time, and while I wouldn’t count as one of my biggest ships because I never Suffered for them, they were pretty formative in that they were my first ever canon gay ship. Plus, in the context of the terrible writing Glee always had, their chemistry really created something magical, especially in the beggining. Landslide still gives me chills, and Santana’s confession is still maybe one the most beautiful love confessions I’ve ever seen in television.

05 - Do you have any poly ships?

Nope. I’m a monogamist in every way lol Never got the hang of ot3s.

12 - Have you ever been disappointed when your ship finally got together?

I mean, everything about the development of Brittana sucked on the season following Santana’s confession but I can’t really say I was DISAPPOINTED because at this point I was stuck in the toxic position of hating everything that happened in the show, so I didn’t care anymore. Besides Brittana… I mean, most of my ships never got together lol The few who did, like R/Hr, lived to my expectations nicely. So I guess no.

18 - Talk about a moment which made you question an entire ship.

Ok so… During my Homestuck phase (yeah I had GOOD TASTE for fandons cnejjseiwiiewj fml) I was super into Gamzee/Tavros and… I mean, if you’ve read Homestuck you know Hussie pretty much discarded Gamzee as a tridimensional character post-Murderstuck, and Tavros’ role in the story was limited to his relationship with Vriska (who I hated with A PASSION). So I did have a lot of moments where I was like “why the hell do I still ship this”, because it was as if canon was constantly mocking me for even trying to take these characters seriously anymore (again, if you’ve read Homestuck, you know that’s not an exaggeration). Ultimately fanon contend was enough to keep me shipping it, though, until I just dropped the comic altogether.

20 - Talk about a ship you feel alone in shipping.

I don’t think there’s one. There are ships I wished there was more contend for (like Kallo/Gil from mea) but I don’t think I ever felt alone shipping something. I don’t ship many rarepairs.

21 - Is there a ship you just don’t get, but have nothing against?

Hmm Idk… Usually when I don’t have anything against a ship I can at least grasp why people ship it (St*cky, for example). If I really really DON’T GET IT, I’m probably gonna have some negative feelings about it (like St*rkqu*ll or W*nterIr*n). So, the answer is no, I guess.

26 - Have you noticed a pattern in your shipping? Is there a romantic dynamic you’re more drawn to?

Like I said, I can see traces of R/Hr in a lot of my other ships lol I enjoy Tension and Bickering and conflict that arrises from bad communication/poor handling of emotional issues. I like visual contrast a lot (it’s ridiculous, but the quickest way to turn me off a stony fic/art is Tony having blue eyes. It’s one of the reasons I’m not very drawn to 616 stony lol I just like smol Tony with brown eyes more. Like I said, it’s ridiculous). I also like when characters are opposites on the surface but actually share important/crucial similarities in essence.

Finally, I pretty much only ship stuff when I’m able to give a shit about both characters involved. I need to be able to care about both characters in some level, outside of their ship dynamic, so I tend to ship characters that have similar levels of development. Usually I have a preference (Steve over Tony, Tavros’ over Gamzee, Ron over Hermione, etc), but I need to like both characters to see them in equal footing. Otherwise it’s just not that appealing to me.

(I’m gonna make the fic recs in a separate post, ok? Bc this is already too long and also, bc I need to ask of which fandom you’d like. I mostly only read mcu stuff lately lol is that ok?)

39 - Is there a fictional relationship you'd want for yourself?

I guess in some level, I'd want a relationship like Ron and Hermione's, preferably without seven years of pining and misunderstandings lol But as a rule I don't necessarily look for relationships I'd want to ship - I just look for dynamics that touch me.
