i liked show brienne for the most part for what she was (staunch, loyal, cautious) but upon reading the books it occurred to me just how necessary brienne’s endearing awkwardness, bravery, and hopefulness is in a world as grim and at times hopeless as asoiaf. she brings such light onto every page and you see it through her unrelenting kindness and her striving to see the good in people no matter what. instance after instance she proves it is possible to uphold the sanctity of knighthood and be a protector while still being empathetic and kindhearted and staying true to one’s word, which is something formal organisations such as the kingsguard no longer/do not subscribe to.

The sansa stark experience

arya naming herself after catelyn once in braavos + brienne constantly thinking of catelyn's oath and sansa + sansa wearing tully colors in the vale + jaime trying to fulfil an oath he swore to catelyn + constant lady stoneheart mentions... catelyn stark u could never truly die

FFFFFFFFFFUCKKKKKKKKK

We weren't friends. But I understood her better than the rest.

“jon the boring” i am going to rip all of my hair out

alicent + religious guilt

the way it was rhaenyra the one that wanted to escape with alicent when they were young... and now, is alicent the one asking her to escape together. my heart 💔

congrats to her on her transition

brienne deserved so much better than her show portrayal, which seems to misunderstand that bri is not interesting simply because she’s a female knight, or because of her appearance, or the cruel things she has suffered as a result of both of these, it is the fact that despite all of these things she is still gentle and idealistic and kindhearted and romantic. brienne reconciles traits that are considered to be antithetical in westerosi society. she does not have to be a beautiful maid to dream of love and enchantment, and she can dream of these things whilst also being an incredibly capable knight. she’s open minded and defies expectations; she does not have to adhere to a strictly ‘masculine’ way of thinking in order to be strong. and then the show had her insult jaime by saying he was ‘acting like a woman’
