How I love this things!

"That green becomes you well, m'lady," he said. "It brings out the colour of your eyes."

- Ser Duncan the Tall - The Sworn Sword

"Blue is a good colour on you, my lady," Jaime observed. "It goes well with your eyes."

- Jaime IX, A Storm of Swords

She reached out her hand for his, a freckled hand, her fingers strong and slender.

- The Sworn Sword

Brienne approached as if the bundle was like to bite her, reached out a huge freckled hand, and flipped back a fold of cloth.

- Jaime IX, A Storm of Swords

"Take the horse. I refuse to let you go without something to remember me by."

- Lady Rohanne Webber - The Sworn Sword

"Take the bloody sword and go, before I change my mind. There's a bay mare in the stables, as homely as you are but somewhat better trained."

- Jaime IX, A Storm of Swords

A little “justice” for Brienne, Jaime, and what we could/should have gotten in the show.

Why D&D made so many unexplainable changes to Brienne and Jaime’s arcs, most times completely inverting what they do in the books and changing some of their traits? Let’s see.

The gist of the majority of Brienne’s problems in the show, was that D&D failed to write her…completely. She was doomed basically from the start from many mistakes and changes D&D made with her. Because she wasn’t meant to be your usual warrior lady who simply loves to fight, she’s so much more than that, and she’s such a unique character.

Brienne’s true arc in the books is full of duality. She’s Sansa in armor (in GRRM’s words). She’s a 19 years old girl who longs to be respected as a knight and she’s also a girl who longs to be a lady (married, a mother, and especially loved) but she doesn’t think that’s possible because of how ugly she is (and now she’s also disfigured in the books), and how tall she is, how muscular she is, how strong she is, and she’s been mocked and abused her entire life, starting from her piece of shit of a septa. Brienne literally thinks she’s unlovable, that the marriage bed for her could only include pain and humiliation (again, thanks to the fucking crazy septa), and GRRM took her and put her right in front of the only guy in Westeros who lives for love and that nowadays would punch in the face any guy who mocks her, especially her mean former betrotheds (Hello Red Ronnet Connington, thank you for taking the iconic golden handed slap). Book!Jaime said it best in his weirwood dream: “In this light she could almost be a beauty. In this light she could almost be a knight”. See? Duality. And she’d never scoff at Pod to not call her a lady, Book!Brienne simply finds amusing when Pod calls her “My lady, ser”, because he can’t seem to decide what to call her, but the fact that he calls her both is another example of the duality GRRM has in store for her.

I know some things were probably changed because they casted the amazing Gwendoline (who’s beautiful but actually much taller than most men, just like Brienne), but mostly they simply didn’t write some her struggles, both in terms of storylines, both in terms of her more feminine side, since Gwen was actually fantastic in portraying Brienne’s vulnerability and shyness when she could, like in the bath scene in Harrenhal.

D&D don’t know how to write women who break stereotypes. Brienne and Arya like to fight? Well they must hate feminine things then. Asha/Yara likes to fight and be tough and manly? Well if she’s so butch she must be a lesbian. But in the books, Brienne and Arya like feminine things. Hell, Brienne is a huge romantic girl, who loves songs and fairytales and spent her childhood dreaming of romance (you know, the kinda romance that has a guy gifting her a priceless sword, like in her favorite fairytale, the one about ser Galladon and the Maiden, and how the Maiden gifted Gal a priceless magic sword as a gesture of love…seems familiar), and she’s vulnerable, sometimes wishing just to have Jaime right next to her so she could cry on his shoulder. And she did spend the night of Renly’s wedding crying her eyes out because her crush was marrying another woman. Arya liked wearing a pretty dress, even though she thinks she’ll never be as beautiful as Sansa, and she’s never mocked girls by calling them stupid. She’s just a child, but not nearly as much of a stereotypical brat as she is at the beginning of the show. Asha/Yara fights men and also fucks men. If they really wanted to include some lesbian sex, in the books Dany and Cersei, two traditionally feminine women, have sex with other girls occasionally. Want some proof of D&D’s inability to write women? I’m gonna give you a little “gift”. This is a sample from a short story written some time ago by David Benioff himself, about a man…and a woman’s ass, and how he viewed her ONLY as a hot ass, not a human being, an ass, nothing more…

In the books, in the scene where Jaime gave Oathkeeper to Brienne, she also received a pretty blue dress from him (a dress that matches her eyes, Jaime is obsessed with her eyes in the books). And that’s significant. Jaime gives her both a sword and a pretty dress, because he’s the one who will eventually make Brienne’s dreams about knighthood and being a lady come true, probably with marriage included at a certain point in their story (as it’s heavily implied in the text many times, one cute and tiny example is in their very erotic fight scene in the books, where, right after, Jaime calls Brienne his wife, for a disguise from the Brave Companions). She literally had a fever dream (that GRRM often uses to tease future events) of Jaime knighting her/marrying her when she was feverish because of Biter. Even though she spent almost her entire life thinking it could never come true, because she was always treated as a beast. (Why couldn’t Gwen wear the pretty blue dress in the show? They made her wear the ugly pink Harrenhal dress, but not the pretty blue KL dress…so unfair) And she seemed happy to wear that dress, because it actually looks good on her (at least Jaime thinks it looks good on her) and she rewards him for the gift by blushing all over the place and blabbering about her bodice being padded to have more shape, meaning it was implied that Jaime was staring at her…chest area in that scene, maybe with a surprised look on his face (why else would she start talking about her bodice being padded when he was talking about her eyes? And we know from her POVs that Brienne is quick to notice when people stare at her breasts, like Nimble Dick), which isn’t that weird in the books. Jaime is a freaking pervert about Brienne’s body from the get go, always noticing her body and trying to stare at her boobs, legs, muscles (like when she did a backflip into the water in Jaime’s first POV), and when he saw her naked in the baths…he got hard, and he couldn’t stop thinking about her naked for 2 books. He’s obsessed with her, no matter how many times he told himself that she’s ugly and stubborn, and the fact that Jaime’s falling hard, but he doesn’t understand it, he’s in complete denial or simply unaware, it’s hilarious. Everytime his thoughts drift off to her, he doesn’t know why (he doesn’t know what falling in love feels like, nor how courting works, he was literally born with his first lover)…but the obsession and the attraction is mutual, btw, Brienne was certanly feeling some type of way when she saw Jaime wearing his Lord Commander’s attire and cloak and she spent a large part of AFFC just thinking of him, also thinking about what happened in the baths, but she wasn’t thinking about the very important things Jaime told her about Aerys, she was busy remembering how hot he was…almost godlike.
