ASOIF : In a search for Jaime and Brienne

[alexandral]

My eyes are feeling so much better today!

After work we went to see our friends from church as we usually do on Fridays which always is a lovely way to finish the week.

Then I thought: I should try to find picture of Jaime and Brienne together because they are so beautiful and great together. And because winterspel was talking about reading “A Clash of Kings”.. And I have not found one I found instead that strangely enough Brienne is not very popular in the world of forums, and now i just want more posts of Brienne love from queenofthorns because i am going to love her better then the whole world anyway. There are plenty of pictures of Sandor, but not Brienne, and particular not Jaime/Brienne. **sighs** Why? I know everybody is entitled to their opinion, but i just would love a picture ;)

And because i love making icons i just had to make icon from Michael Komarck’s picture of Jaime sitting on the Iron Throne. And because i have started reading “A Clash of Kings” and this is the book of Jaime! And Brienne, of course! I am not 100 percent happy with the icon, though ;(




Jaime’s dreams in the “A Clash of Kings” are filling my head with questions and there is that incredible dream when he dreams (or remembers) the moment he sat on the Iron Throne and “Then he climbed the Iron Throne and seated himself with his sword across his knees, to see who would come to claim the kingdom. As it happened, it had been Eddard Stark.You had no right to judge me either, Stark”. This passage somehow makes me cry. Because it is so sad that young boy as her was he had to make these terrible choices. And them Jaime is fighting with the dead burning in the green flames and the dead would not die. Others they must be, but why would they not die in the flames?

I also found beautiful picture of Rhaegar with whom i am in love a little. I think he looks a bit like Heath Ledger. And Heath Ledger is nice. I think I should go and see “Brokeback Mountain” this weekend.

I wish a lovely weekend to everyone! Please tell me if this post is too long , i don't want to be a pest!

Icons are free to share. Please credit Michael Komarck for Jaime's picture and Winterfell website for Rhaegar's if you take them!

Yes, I think it's very clear Jaime's NOT operating from the same political/dynastic considerations as his father (whatever Ned thinks!) and he does think about naming Rhaegar's child as King (although he also, obviously, doesn't know his father's men are murdering that same child.)

I think yes, you're right, that Jaime was a very idealistic boy (he worshipped Arthur Dayne) and those ideals were so shattered by his experiences at Aerys's court that he came to believe they didn't exist at all; and then Brienne shows him that they do and that's part of why he treats her as he does - the desperate desire for her respect because it's truly worth having and the simultaneous need to keep her at a distance in case she doesn't respect him so he can't be hurt by that.

O,,i just read today properly how Cersei made Jaime to sign for the Kingsguard **sniff** This is a love for you - and who knows, but at the same time - he could have been married to Lysa **shrug**, but then again she would have been a happy girl then? With JAIME?

BTW, thank you very much for recommending sunbrae

Well, it just seems so calculating of Cersei too - because Jaime's signing away his entire life, really. He won't inherit Casterly Rock; he won't ever have a family or children of his own - so on Jaime's part, yes, it's love. On Cersei's part? Doesn't love mean that you want what's best for the person you love? She really seems to have never, ever thought about what was best for Jaime - only how he could be with her. Poor Jaime!

And maybe Lysa wouldn't have been so crazed if gorgeous, loyal Jaime had been her husband :)

Sunbrae is a love, and so are you so I think you'll get along very well indeed!
