Larian moment

Gods, the Gondians in the steel watch foundry have really, really stupid movement AI - getting away from multiple enemies by running and as a result collecting a bunch of attack of opportunity hits, then misty stepping back into the very spot they started from (d’oh!) - and said enemies obliterating them on their turn, for example. These people are so hard to keep alive, it’s ridiculous.

At first, jumping into the bear pit seems like classic old Jaime: reckless, impulsive, trying to solve everything directly even when he's not equipped to do so but actually it's new Jaime, starting to think like Tyrion, understanding people and their motives to get them to do what he wants.

Like it's still brave and heroic and to a certain extent risky but it's based on a calculation. He knows the Bolton men can kill the bear and he correctly judges that they won't risk having to explain to Roose (let alone Tywin) how they let their charge die. In a sense he is equipped to save Brienne so it's not less rational than, say Brienne risking herself to protect the inn at the crossroads.

Do you think that Jaimie could have exonerated himself for killing the king and that his silence is driven predominantly by a desire for self victimisation and pride? Or was he in a hopeless situation with it?

i think ive already discussed this at length on here, but for the short version: while you can endlessly debate whether he would be believed, whether he has reason to believe that people would absolve him, whether they would actually absolve him, how it would have changed things, and would revealing the existence of hidden nukes be a thing that prevents or speeds up the process to another tragedy, for me personally the whole “why didnt jaime just simply exonerate himself by telling everybody why he did the kingslaying” premise is a kind of reductive way to engage with his pov highlighting how the honor system in westeros operates, how it is inextricably linked to feudalism, and the impact of that at an individual level on someone whose coming of age is defined by the experience of witnessing and partaking in the enablement of a mad tyrant whose power to brutally harm innocents is directly reinforced by said honor system.

jaime is confronted with a very grim reality that violently tears down the figure of the knight (among other things) which is a pretty life-shattering revelation to him personally. it changes his relationship to his society and harms his ability to maintain faith in his previous values. the end result of the wilfully blind and complete prioritization of vows, honor, and sworn duty is complacency that allows the situation to escalate to unlawful and brutal executions, the repeated abuse and rape of the queen, the start of a war, and a mad tyrant being given the chance to burn a whole city and claim half a million lives. this is something he witnessed with a front row seat. the bitterness and lack of faith in the existing ethical frameworks and the way things seem to work is an amalgamation of everything that led up to the kingslaying, not just the aftermath. i dont think we can isolate it to anger due to receiving scorn for the act, which is more like a nail in the coffin.

there is a lot more to where he ends up as an individual than just pride and a desire to victimize himself, and acknowledging this is not apologia lol. i dont believe that not allowing him that achieves anything but reduce the complexity of his character. he has plenty of reasons to find the way his society works deeply hypocritical and absurd, and it plays a big part in his decision to not explain. not everything that goes wrong for jaime has to be entirely because he’s a narcissistic dick, nor will the issues his character identifies magically disappear after a confession.
