the fantasy genre turns people into royalists so fast. iām not even talking about return of the true king fairytales here but i mean, like, when thereās a āwho will become king/queen!ā plotline and people immediately start genuinely talking about who has the rightful claim. can we all sit down and first agree that none of these people āshouldā be king or queen because that isnāt a thing that should happen to people. what century are you from. divine right isnāt real go back to sleep

such a firm believer that the jb courting stage is gonna be SO awkward and excruciating that itās almost amusing. like brienne trying sooo hard to be casual about it but she gets so flustered by the little things he does, and sheād want to do Stuff for him bc her love language is acts of service but HEāS not used to that so heās like ?? not to mention that thatās also his love language as well so itās both of them going like stop fussing and let ME do that for you. I also think jaime is affectionate and would looooove pda but brienne clams up bc sheās not used to that yet. like the most she can do is hand holding but I think even that would leave her sweating and with a severe tummy ache
anyway to me the initial stage of the jb courting is sooo awkward and physically painful and CRINGE but once theyāre more comfy theyāll go back to bickering

thereās so much pathologizing over why enemies to lovers is a popular trope (something something the normalization of abuse something something) when the simplest and less moronic answer is that narratives thrive on irony and reversals, and thereās no greater irony than characters going from hating each otherās guts to loving each other unconditionally. raw thesis-antithesis-synthesis.

Call for donations
Hey besties,
I'm in a bit of a bind and need help. I need to pay rent tomorrow and it's $466.13. I'm having the hardest time finding work and recently being diagnosed with lots of mental health issues aren't helping. If anyone could help me keep a roof over my head that would be great.
My cashapp is $sevenblaire.
If you can't donate, I completely understand. The only thing I'd ask is for you to reblog/signal boost this so that more people can see it. Thank you so much for helping me with this.
Love,
Reign (formally known as wickedjaime/ofwickedlight)

This is my Braime rant.
Oh, hello there. Yes, itās been a few years, and Iām still thinking about the GOT finale. When people talk about it, itās mostly to roast Bran getting the throne or Daenerys turning evil because of a bell tower (both extremely valid), BUT I am forever the most salty about the way Jaime and Brienneās story ended. Likeā¦????????
First, I must acknowledge that there are the Tormund x Brienne shippers. I suppose their relationship couldāve gotten more emotionally complex if given the chance, but we only see Tormund horny boy howling because of Brienneās size and strength. In huge contrast, Jaime Lannisterās connection to Brienne goes much further than a surface-level attraction to a large, powerful woman.
They fundamentally changed each other for the better in HUGE ways:
Brienneās relationship with JaimeĀ gave her a sense of agency she never had before. He gave her the opportunities and tools to fulfill exactly what she wanted to be.Ā He developed an unwavering trust in her judgment and skills as a knight that she hadnāt really experienced before. A feminist king, if there ever was one (after a personal growth journey, of course).
Brienne allowed Jaime to see his potential as an honorable man. He opened up to her emotionally in a way heās done with no one else (except maybe his brother Tyrion?) Although she wasnāt the only reason he decided to defy his sister and do whatās right, she certainly had a monumental impact on his self-worth and morality.
Even when they were firmly on opposite sides, they still advocated and protected each other. Jaime lost the hand he used for sword fighting, and he fought a BEAR for her, for Godās sake.
And you canāt argue that they didnāt have a physical and emotional connection.Ā The amount of unadulterated, obvious yearning is insane, yāall. Right in front of everyoneās salad.
I mean, Brienne willingly gives him her virginity, something sheās been vehemently defending her whole life. She allowed him to see her at her most vulnerable. But thenā¦
Jaime decides to go back to Kingās Landing to protect his sister at the last moment. Keep in mind, he had already fully betrayed Cersei just a few episodes beforehand. In the end, he dies in his emotionally abusive sisterās arms, and the show implies that sheās the woman he truly lovesā¦ itās genuinely vile to me.
If Jaime had stayed in the same place he was in season one, the exact same thing wouldāve happened to him in the end. Soā¦ WTF was the point? What was the point of all that inner conflict, emotional growth, meaningful connection? Jack squat, according to the writers and the footnote dedicated to him in the Kingās Landing records.Ā
What lesson are we supposed to learn from this, huh? No matter how hard you try to grow and change, what you were born into will always drag you back? You should stay in a toxic relationship, no matter how destructive, because you still feel like you love them? People who have made mistakes in the past donāt deserve a second chance at life? That is what I got with the end to Jaimeās story.
Thank you for your time, your honor.
