There are people who could probably write this better than I can, and I probably forget things, but oh well it is a quick guide okay beans okay.
- Don’t insult her for having sex. (You can criticize the political wisdom of having the children of a man who is not her husband without slut-shaming.)
- Don’t insult her for using sex as a means of accessing power. Recognize that by using sex Cersei is reclaiming her power from a society that sexually objectifies her. (You can criticize her for abuse of powers, but you can do so without problematizing sex.)
- Don’t use gendered insults period, for Cersei or for ANY character. A character being heinous doesn’t make your gendered insults any less sexist.
- Don’t laugh at her or cheer along when she gets abused by her husband. Seriously, that is fucking gross what is wrong with you.
- Don’t blame her for any of Jaime’s misdeeds or character flaws. (He is a grown-ass man who is, barring maybe threat at knife-point or such, responsible for his own choices.)

#a man is regretting giving the power of life and death to a vengeful 11-year old #a man should have expected this to go badly

YOU HAVEN’T COME OUT OF THERE IN ALMOST TWO DAYS. YOU SMELL FUNNY. YOUR EYES ARE AS RED AS MY EX’S PENIS. YOUR CRYING KEEPS THE NEIGHBORS AWAKE, AND THERE ARE ENOUGH KLEENEX ON THE FLOOR TO REVERSE ENGINEER A TREE, NOT TO MENTION YOU NEED TO GO TO WORK IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD HBO.
LOOK, I LIKED RENLY TOO, OKAY? HE WOULD HAVE MADE A PRETTY GOOD KING, BUT YOU’VE GOT TO MOVE ON. THIS ISN’T HEALTHY.
I’ll send letters whenever I can. But if you don’t hear from me, don’t be scared. ‘Til I return.
