In season 5 Brienne gives her famous speech about how boys didn't like her because she was so big seen here...

LINK

Then in season 7 Tormund actually appreciates her for what she is and she shuns him. Really bugs me, she wants Jaime yet she knows he's like those boys and would never want her.



Anyone else have little things like this that bug them?

She shuns him because he's an uncouth, unsophisticated wildling. That is not inconsistent with her speech.

Jaime does want her.

I think Jamie and Brienne have both learned that there is more to love than just sex and from completely different ends of the spectrum. Their love is the truest kind.

Upvoted your gif. I laughed out loud of couple of times just from his facial expressions around Brienne on first watch.

She gave him his chance in that bath and he didn't take the opportunity because he loves Cersei. Jaime respects Brienne but that's as far as it goes.

Pretty sure it’s in human nature to want what you can’t have. Forbidden fruit and all...

Brienne is a lady raised in wealth and security...Tormund barely meets her idea of human, much less a potential mate.

Have you not noticed the heavy undertone of social order throughout the series?

Tormund is one of the few that may actually be better in the show than the book

Her little retarded incest baby. It was so heartwarming when she showed Sam to have sex, just as her father had shown her.

My favorite scene in the show. Huge Jaime fan, although book Jaime is so much better. He loves her. If he didn’t he wouldn’t have saved her from the bear or gave her Oathkeeper.

Jaime loves her. He just can’t see yet past the twisted shite he has with Ceresi. It’s a different kind of love than the physical one he has with Ceresi.

And still love this exchange:

Brienne is like 90% driven by duty in the show, she's fine serving. I don't think she gives much thought to love other than the small adoration she gained for Jaime. Add in the fact that Tormund is unlike anyone she's ever met and...............
