Jackie: A Tale of Perversity and Woe

At least, not with entries about my life.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HATE THE NEW POST AN ENTRY FORMAT OR IS IT JUST ME?

Anyway. Jaime/Brienne has consumed my life over the past couple of weeks, as you may or may not have guessed. I just -- I have so many fucking feelings and I seriously CANNOT FUCKING WAIT until season 3 starts because I need to see all of this shit play out in live action instead of just in my head. I NEED IT. I NEED IT RIGHT NOW. Like, I'm not even gonna get into these two and how they've ruined my life because I talk about it so much on Tumblr already and I don't want to repeat myself. I just... yeah. I'm really excited about the fic series I'll be writing for them. I have so many ideas, and it's nice to not be tied down to a chaptered fic. I can just write what I want, when I want. I can have huge gaps in between events, too, and I don't necessarily need to explain absolutely everything. It's gonna be fun. I just hope I can finish it before this obsession fades away (and then, inevitably, resurfaces once the show comes back).

Also, Boardwalk has finally started!! I am so fucking looking forward to Margaret this season, you don't even know. That last scene of her on the beach was so gorgeous I just cannot get over it. SHE'LL RULE THE WORLD, JUST WAIT.

Guys, I can't handle all of my Jaime/Brienne feels. I just can't. I literally lie awake at night thinking about these two, is how bad it is, and I can't even remember the last time I shipped something so hard that was actually canon (and it is, don't even say it's not, because you are wrong). They are just -- asdfghjkl;lkjhgfdsadfghjkjhgfd

Like I was reading Feast For Crows at work yesterday because there was nothing to do, and I got to the line where Brienne wonders if Jaime would comfort her if she cried on his shoulder, because isn't that what men want, a helpless woman to protect (which is silly, of course, because he would not feel as he does towards her if she was helpless)? And I literally jumped in the air and made the most ridiculous noise ever. And then remembered the line in Storm of Swords where Jaime "almost" wanted to comfort Brienne because she looked so miserable, and then I died a million times in a row.

I mean, they're obviously not going to get a happy ending -- this is GRRM, after all -- and given Brienne's last scene, and the stuff I read that briefly happens with them in A Dance With Dragons, something Bad will happen, but I don't think... okay, I'll stop there because I don't want to get too spoilery, but yeah. THINGS. FEELINGS.

(I need to find a good Jaime/Brienne icon...)

Rob bought me the Game of Thrones video game today, and I tried playing it, and maybe it's just me but the combat in this game is AWFUL. I mean, maybe I just need to get used to it, but it's slow and repetitive and if I have an even mildly difficult enemy I just die over and over.

I'll feel awful if I don't keep playing it, though, since he bought it for me and everything and it was pretty expensive (though he says he's going to play it also, but still).

I'd rather have just gotten the first season on dvd tbh
