As I went back and forth trying to decide if my history with how to read Jaime's character was a just opinion or an unpopular opinion, I started connecting it with an actual unpopular opinion of mine. I prefer Jon to be Ned's kid, and tend to perceive people who insist R+L=J has to be the thing as if it's because Ned was too honorable for it to be him. But I always saw Ned as flawed, so I never saw reason to doubt he was also Jon's father; and his view of Jaime is part of why I saw flaws early.
Jaime/Loras doesn't feel right for me (though, as stated I kind of had to invent something on the fly), it would kind of be just another narcissism based thing, and I'm hoping Jaime gets out of that cycle.
And I also kind of think if Jaime actually thought for a second about the idea of having a threesome with Cersei and Brienne, he'd quickly realize it would be a bad idea (especially post SoS as he realized how awful Cersei is). It might be something to consider if Brienne was more conventionally attractive, but as is, Cersei wouldn't have interest in Brienne (where Brienne would be an extra part of what is focused on Jaime/Cersei), and Cersei doesn't share Jaime. And Cersei would just be terrible to Brienne, and that would make Jaime bad.

Also, I kind of love that icon.
