5 years on and people don’t understand why fans are still upset about the ending (yes people can still discuss shows that have long ended their run. Its as though people don’t discuss fictional works from hundreds, thousands of years ago).
No one expected a happy ending and most of us saw him returning to Cersei a mile away. It is that the ending tried to invalidate a relationship that directors, writers and actors explicitly stated was a deep, romantic one. If there had just been one scene, one moment showing Jaime’s regret, a look back as he rode away. The very people who mock Braime fans for not understanding the “complexity” of the show, actually display a misunderstanding of story complexity itself and minimize a group of fans who truly understand what a bittersweet, complex story means.
“blue is a good color on you, my lady,” jaime observed. “it goes well with your eyes.” she does have astonishing eyes. brienne glanced down at herself, flustered.
can't believe it's canon that in the last season Jaime was chilling with his brother then Brienne entered and Jaime jumped on his feet murmuring my lady like a Jane Austen's hero and Tyrion was like damn bro, someone is smitten, isn't it?
book jaime lannister is the funniest boy because from birth he’s constructed a grand narrative in his mind that he is the perfect knight to his sister-wife’s perfect maiden, a relationship that exists solely to fuel their mutual narcissism and help him cope with his chronic identity crisis/trauma, only to see a buff girl naked for the first time and come to the subconscious realization that it’s actually HIM who is the maiden to brienne’s knight and proceeds to spend the rest of their trip using preschool tactics of annoying her to death so that she can notice him and sweep him off his feet (it works)
