My unpopular opinion about this character: not necessarily an unpopular opinion, but perhaps an uncommon take; that my take on the character has always been informed by the fact that on my first read I always assumed that 'Kingslayer' was a compliment and Ned was overreacting to what happened when Aerys died. Yes he is also having sex with his twin sister and pushes kids out the window, but I never saw him as cut and dry villain. So I was not exactly surprised when we got the full backstory, it just confirmed what had always suspected.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: for Jaime to deny Cersei and be able to live with himself afterward
My het ship: Jaime/Brienne
My fem/slash ship: I don't know that I can think of, but then Jaime is one of the most monogamous characters in the series, maybe Jaime/Jorah? (but I'd have to picture it as show Jorah instead of book Jorah)
My OTP: Jaime/Brienne
My OT3: I'm sure Jaime would be into Jaime/Cersei/Brienne
My non-romantic OTP: Jaime-Tyrion
My anti-ship: Jaime/any of the brave companions...I haven't really thought about it
A headcanon fact: Jaime has had such single target sexuality all his life that the idea of being attracted to anyone but Cersei is straight up confusing to him (and he really didn't understand Robert)
A scene/moment that sums up this character: I mean, that's basically the point of the bath scene
An idea I have for the character that I haven't written: since I've never really written anything for him (or ASOIAF in general)...Jaime's thoughts after he burns the letter seems like a place I would start
