hot girl spring is out. mary lennox spring is in. get in loser we’re frolicking in the garden; we’re talking to birds; we’re getting lost in the heather; we’re wandering gothic manors in the dead of night and discovering secret cousins concealed in attic bedrooms, we’re jumping rope

I have been thinking over on twitter about that weird show plot point of removing Jaime from the KG which I DO think will be book canon no matter how nonsensical it was in the context of the show. actually BECAUSE of how nonsensical it was in the show but ANYWAY over here I am thinking of the KG as kind of representative of his ‘marriage’ to Cers

Like first of all Jaime’s relationship with the Kingsguard and all it represents does go quite a way beyond Cersei and their relationship (of course), but I think in many ways his swearing himself to the oaths of the KG becomes a stand in for the oaths he can’t swear to her. He swears to be by her side even whilst she swears no oath in return, and thinks that’s his life’s lot. He begrudgingly thinks to himself in ADWD he doesn’t have a wife, he has a sister - as in, that’s all he can ever have, that’s the deal he made, and what scope has he for escaping it?? supposedly

But then of course he has sworn another oath to Catelyn - with Brienne (and I swear I’m not trying to make everything about JB but also. maybe I am) - where it’s not about pleasing Cersei or serving anyone other than himself and what he believes is right. It was an oath sworn independently of any side, any higher power, and Jaime wants to uphold it because that is what he wants to do. And he’s able to share the load of that oath with Brienne. At the moment yes tbf Brienne has shouldered most of that load lmao, but I don’t think JB will be wielding the two halves of Ned’s sword for nothing: ultimately, they will both fulfil it.

also to me this also kind of ties in with everything that takes place in the white sword tower between Jaime and Cersei + Jaime and Brienne in ASOS. Cersei essentially arrives in the colour of the KG, Jaime’s colour (I.e. white), trying to renew their bond - but Jaime rejects her because their bond is already deteriorating and they each have different interests now. Meanwhile w Brienne, kind of the opposite happens: he invites her closer, he bestows his own house colours on her in the form of a sword (representative of the oath they share, and sub-textually suggestive of a cloaking ceremony), reiterates the oath they’ve sworn together, and takes his first steps in claiming his own hopes for the future and his own.

Yet in AFFC it’s his oath as a member of the KG that is tying him to KL still, and I think that’s part of why Jaime will be removed from it - this is no longer about what an oath dictates he should do, it’s about what he thinks he should do, and he needs to be freed from the KG to fully reckon with that. So I do think Jaime will be removed from the Kingsguard and that it’ll be Cersei that does it. He’s emotionally removed himself from her already, but she’s gonna sign the divorce - it’s irreconcilable differences babes

and whilst I don’t think that ends Jaime’s duty (of feeling thereof) to his family or categorically ends every care he has for his sister, that he will certainly still have to reckon with, but I think these two oaths are each representative of Jaime’s changing relationships, the cessation of one and the beginning of another

Anyway bye
