when i say altar sex is important, it’s because altar sex is important. here you have two people who have been in a forbidden relationship since they were children. it’s something they always had to live in secret, never able to pledge to one another for the world to see and know. and yet jaime and cersei lannister are married, in a way. because yes, the world doesn’t know, but when it comes to the gods, they know. they see. when jaime and cersei take each other in the sept, it’s all the marriage they will ever be granted and allowed. it’s before the gods because they can’t have it before their kingdom. cersei struggles, tries and say something about the gods watching, because it feels unholy, but in the end she concedes because let the gods watch, let the gods be witnesses when no one else can
let the gods know what no one else can ever see
after all
"do you have a little wife sir?"
i don’t have a wife
