“no one wants you for their king. sorry.” literally the greatest line in the history of fantasy

[ilynpilled]

being a jaime girlie is really about figuring out which version of symbolic death you want him to get railed by. brienne (the bear: the death of the beast), cersei (the stranger: the death of the mirror), arthur (he bled anew: the death of the boy), ilyn (the executioner: crime & punishment, “kill me if you can”), catelyn (lady stoneheart: the noose itself). what a harem. the way he almost/sort of gives head to all of them

ASOIAF reddit: I'm so glad jeyne finally got what she deserved for treating ser jakey like that 🙄 such a bitch just because she was four years old and a child bride and saw her entire family murdered in front of her

ASOIAF tiktok: omg maera and yassaerys are so cute together ! abusive grandfather/step-granddaughter is the ship dynamic of the year

really i think the red wedding is perhaps one of the best moments in modern literary history because its soooo much more than just that one scene ive said it once and ill say it again nothing in asoiaf is a complete and utter shock twist everything is foreshadowed like being woven into a great tapestry of everything that happens. the red wedding is foreshadowed so much you feel it looming over every narrative involved and i really do believe the cultural consciousness of the spoiler that it will happen improves the reading for the red wedding. you know that sickening feeling that everyone here involved is doomed and there's nothing youu can do to stop it. daenerys's vision of a king with a wolf head surrounded at a feast of the dead a whole book before it even takes place. the emphasizing of how you should never ever ever ever violate the laws of hospitality its a crime against the gods and catelyn continuing to push that they should eat first no more matter what. the legend of the rat cook and the gods anger over it. and then you realize not only is the red wedding a tragedy but it is just the beginning and a narrative device that will span every house involved and their downfalls. it is by design that tywin lannister plans it and he's dead by the end of the same book along with his grandson. oh red wedding you will always be famous i love you so dearly and i cannot wait to read the fabulous horror of the demise that lord walder frey will meet

underrated jaime trait is whenever he decides to weaponise his kingslayer reputation

eddard ix AGOT

jaime v ASOS

[thekeytothenorth]

at last finished my asoiaf re-read so maybe there will finally be some cohesion to this blog

[thekeytothenorth]

the lannister twins + gender (part i)

jaime iv AFFC

cersei ii ADWD

[thekeytothenorth]

if i could have a jaime POV of any other asoiaf section it would absolutely be the hand’s tourney in AGOT because in the space of two days jaime:

• fell on his ass after being shoved by robert baratheon

• lost to the hound so badly that his lion’s head helm twisted and he couldn’t get it off

• everyone in the stands laughed at him and he had to be led away blind and stumbling

ladies and gentlemen, the fearsome kingslayer

one of the realest things in the song of ice and fire books is when this bard comes to tyrion and is like "I wrote a song about how you have a secret mistress and if you don't pay me off I'm going to sing it in front of the whole court. here's the first verse and the refrain" and tyrion immediately has him killed and then for the next three books he's like "actually that was kind of a bop. wish I'd let him sing me the rest"

jaime saying “take my hand, before you fall” to bran is still top 10 funniest foreshadowings in this series like it has me pissing every time
