people are really mad about that, aren’t they? i’m not, because i always knew jaime would always always put cersei before anyone else. and they keep bringing up the fact that he killed aerys to save the people of king’s landing, but they never considered cersei was not in that equation. whereas she was very much in this equation, and he has made it abundantly clear so many times that when it comes to choosing cersei or literally anyone else, he will always choose the former. as nikolaj said, even the one time he did not (when he rode north) he was in a way choosing her again, because he was rising north to save her and their child (his words, not mine). so it makes perfectly sense that he would pick cersei over the people of king’s landing. also re: aerys, people tend to forget (and jaime SAYS IT IN THE BOOKS) that aerys literally ordered him to kill his own father. jaime in the books did not save the people of king’s landing out of the goodness of his heart, he did it because if he didn’t kill aerys then his whole family would die, be slaughtered, and jaime is all about the family. perhaps more than any other character in the series.
