not to be the kingslayer’s whore again, but, i want everyone here to understand the very implications of jaime leaping into the bear pit for brienne. suuure, later, he claims, that he had no fear for his life, because, he knew, steelshanks would intervene, but...did he consider that before he jumped into the pit. you want her, go get her, so he did. and, that is that. in that moment, he just did what he had to do to save brienne. it was the classic jaime lannister recklessness, the one he employs for the defense of his family. the one that possesses him when one his most beloved is in danger and kills all sense in him. the same madness, tyrion was afraid, would take him, once he learnt, the starks had kidnapped him, and cersei was aware of, when she decided, it was best to keep the worst of robert’s abuse a secret from jaime. it’s just that, he sees red, his entire universe is focused on one person, and he does something peak stupid. he did that for brienne. what previously had only been reserved for cersei and tyrion. also, let’s not forget that, it was the hope of seeing his siblings again that was keeping him alive, hanging from the thin thread of life. for cersei, for tyrion, for vengeance. the mantra that kept him going. jaime lannister might not be afraid of death, but he is, sure as hell, afraid of never seeing his family again. but, BUT, in that moment, when he, without a weapon and one-handed threw himself between brienne and the bear, he was cutting off the chances of ever reuniting with cersei and tyrion. the two people whose memory had been keeping him alive so far. he was willing to leave them alone in the world if that was the price, he had to pay, to save brienne’s life. he could have died, he could have lost every chance of holding cersei again and laughing with tyrion, but did he care? NO, because, all he saw was brienne, and at this point, he was so stupidly in love, it makes me want to cry.
