A bit about Jaime and Cersei, plus new-ish pictures of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

I am successfully re-reading through "A Feast for Crows", only 150 pages left! I will finish the book by Tuesday, it seems. One of the in-your-face things that I noticed is how much Jaime loved and still loves Cersei. This feeling seems to be so sad and so one-sided, as there is nothing in Cersei's chapters to indicate that she ever loved him in any way other than as her own mirror and as a convenient sex-buddy. But he is still so much in love with her, I am really interested to find out what is going to happen to them next.

I am so saaaaaaaaaad! And a little bit shipping them together, may be one day she will learn what she had and let go of (I mean Jaime's love)?

There is a handful of new Nikolaj Coster-Waldau pictures:

mmmmmmm.

Cersei doesn't love anyone except herself and her children, ime, but somehow it's not her fault.

I totally agree with you and noticed the same thing when I was reading affc. I wondered if it wasn't grrm's way of showing a transition of jaime loving cersei to jaime loving brienne and how each woman "loves" him back. It is already remarked upon that brienne wipes his arse when he coudn't and that cercei never would.

I think grrm is going to make a couple of them to show jaime's growth shallow, scheming cersei to loyal, plain brienne while brienne will have to struggle with whether to break an unjust vow to kill jaime. Loving him will make it that much harder.


It would be nice to have cersei realize what she's lost when its too late :) I don't know that its anyone's fault that she is so self absorbed.

And isn't nikolaj super sexy in that picture with the hoodie!

yum. double triple quadruple yum.

Jaime+Brienne forever...is this just wishful thinking?

Ahh he is FLAWLESS ♥♥♥

+I love your little discussions. I have to say whilst Jaime certainly loves Cersei more... I think it has to be said that she does love him. She does say things, not a lot, but they do show that she does love him. She knows that she is not complete without him and argh idk they are so complicated! But ultimately I don't think one can be without the other. No matter what happens I believe they have to be together.
(and I can't stand the idea of them not...*cries*)

I really don't understand the cersei/jaime ship because it is so one sided and is not a healthy relationship because cersei just use. Jaime to do what she can't. Maybe before it was healthier but by the end of asos they are just so different. They are both changing in ways that lead them even more apart from each other personality and morals wise as well. I think Brienne is better suited to be in a relationship with Jaime now, but he is still hung up on Cersei which is kind of understandable since she was the only woman he ever loved or was with. I think he is more obsessed with the fact that she 'cheated' on him where as he was faithful to her. He at least subconsciously has strong feelings for Brienne imo though because of how he punches the guy out in Affc. I just don't know if he has realized that or if it is just a bff relationship.

Those pics dayuum NCW so beautiful.

Poor Jaime. I hoped he'd moved on but... :S

Wow, he's preeeetttty ;)

How can he be so yummy?

The interesting thing for me about AFfC, which I just finished rereading last night, is how I felt so much of what Jaime was doing was falling out of love with Cersei. In doing so, I think he actually paints her somewhat darker than she deserves, because I think she loves him as much as she's capable of loving a man, though her love becomes more selfish as her grasp of reality starts to fade.

As for Jaime and Brienne, I ship them, too, but I don't know if we're going to get our wish. I think his feelings for her may end up being more of a lesson in what to appreciate and respect in anyone - a partner, a friend, whatever - and not something romantic. Though I will be very happy to be proven wrong.

Great pics. I'm snagging them to possibly use in an icon challenge. :)

EDIT: I really like the last one. I think if he didn't have that long hair I would get over the fact that he looks like Prince Charming on Shrek. lol.

Jaime needs to have sex with someone besides Cersei (BRIENNE!!) so bad it's not even funny. Poor Jaime, but he's kind of pathetic in Feast too.
