I noticed earlier that Tyrion often thinks of Tommen and Myrcella, who he is very fond of, as Jaime’s children, but never Joffrey who is in Tyrion’s narration Cersei’s son only. Until the moment he is dying and then all of a sudden he has Jaime’s eyes.
again, the Catelyn/Cersei parallels. also thinking many thoughts about how Tyrion thinks he should run away but instead he goes towards Cersei, like he wants to comfort her, and then of course she accuses him instead.
super interesting tags thanks @nedcat
Another thing that’s occurring to me looking at this is like. The way Tywin is trying to comfort Cersei is pretty characteristically cold but it made me think about how he’s noted several times as kissing Cersei on the cheek in greeting but he literally never touches Jaime at all (to be fair they’ve got like one on-page scene together but in context of Jaime having been literally held captive for a year it’s super weird he doesn’t get ANY physical contact). Like I’m not expecting him to kiss Tyrion bc he vocally hates Tyrion but it’s interesting that he’s more physically demonstrative with Cersei than Jaime even though Jaime is absolutely the favorite child. It’s very much The Gender.
#ugh tyrion and cersei ughhhh #yeah and the tywin and jaime scene gives us so much about their relationship not only bc we see what happens immediately when he’s disobeyed #but also like it is such an embarassing reunion like he acts like the last time he saw jaime was last night's dinner (via @ilynpilled)
