Jill is pretty bitter about her not being a lesbian because she is SO BUTCH in her nobility and her desperate desire for goodness and to be loved for what she is, not in spite of it, and it was basically the shitty decision of an old straight dude
YES. And I get especially frustrated, because there’s so much already there (there is one passage where she reflects on a singer who came to Tarth once, and I latched onto it because it’s the gayest fucking thing) and all you have to do is switch the characters she has explicit sexual feelings for. HAVE BRIENNE IN LOVE WITH CATELYN AND STRICTLY LOYAL AND RESPECTFUL TO JAIME, BAM. (OR MAKE JAIME A WOMAN. WHICH REALLY FUCKS WITH THE STORY I THINK GRRM WANTS TO TELL BUT. LADY KINGSLAYER. TELL ME THE STORY DOESN’T GET EVEN BETTER IF JAIME NOT ONLY WAS EVERYTHING BRIENNE WANTED TO BE PRE-KINGSLAYING, BUT WAS A *WOMAN* WHO ACHIEVED THAT)
