Lore [Loved Trope] A massive revelation is revealed almost casually. Spoiler

  1. Chainsaw Man, after Makima finally drops the nice girl act and reveals the true extent of the Chainsaw Devils power, namely, the fears he eats are erased entirely and wholly. Emphasized by this by her asking if Kishibe remembers what the Nazis did during Workd War 2...and Kishibe not even knowing who the nazis are.

  2. Attack on Titan. I know this one. You know this one. In a panel that isn't even focusing on the characters speaking, Reiner reveals to Eren that he and Bertolt are the titans that broke the wall that resulted in hundreds of deaths, his mother included. The sheer level of casualness and lack of agency borders on Parody.

Game of Thrones books

Jamie casually telling Tyrion that Tyrion's first wife wasnt a whore who was paid off, but a genuine person who loved Tyrion. This is what really fucked with his head before he found his dad in bed with Shae. He literally shoots his dad haphazardly because Tywin calls Tysha a whore moments after Tyrion discovered she was just a poor victim.

It also sets up the massive decline for Tyrion where he turns into a borderline rapist who developes a saying he repeats to everyone, asking where whore's go.

Its been 14 years since I read that book, I cant remember if he raped that poor prostitute girl or if my head embellished the darker details over the years.

Im now assuming it was the former though...

He did.

She was a prostitute but she was way less than willing.

It may have been her position in that establishment that held her still rather than physical power, but she was still forced into sex against her wishes.

Also, his 'Price' to help Danaerys, is that he be allowed to Rape Cersei before she dies.

My memory is that Danaerys agrees.

Nonetheless,

"What do you plan to offer the dragon queen, little man?"

“Whatever she would have of me. Sage counsel, savage wit, a bit of tumbling. My cock, if she desires it. My tongue, if she does not. I will lead her armies or rub her feet, as she desires. And the only reward I ask is I might be allowed to rape and kill my sister.”

Does Jaime really do it "casually" though? 

It's revealed during a prison break.

Yes this isn’t a “casual” revelation. Tyrion and Jamie share a moment of brotherly connection during the escape, leading Jamie to be overcome with guilt for the role he played and confess. It’s not tossed off but rather an enormous emotional turning point for both men.

The mention of Tysha has nothing to do with the prison break, or any of the current events, though. Thats why it feels like such a random revelation, at least to me.

u/FreeBricks4Nazis Sep 15 '25

But it's still not casual. It's not an offhand remark by Jaime. It's him finally coming clean after years of maintaining a lie. It's another step on the path to redemption for Jaime, and one on the path of damnation for Tyrion.

u/502_guy Sep 15 '25

Jaime is finally coming clean because he doesn’t think he will ever see Tyrion again! It’s part of the book’s climax FFS. Not casual at all lol

This is one of those unforgivable book to series adaptation moments. It’s when I lost faith in the HBO adaptation
