He deserved worse

He deserved worse

He did nothing wrong

anyone who thinks theon deserved what he hot is an empathy lacking golem

t. Someone too stupid to spell basic words.

Does it hurt to read? You are a stupid illiterate cunt.

Nah. I saw him get his dick cut off and that was the last I saw of that kike crap untill seeing cleganebowl bb reaction video.

At least it's fuel. Think of that when having to kill jews. Then easy to. No conaideration of them as anything but that.

Trying to be helpful and integrate with our family? Fuck you you're a prisoner you fucking piece of shit you have no rights.

Noooooo we're all getting backstabbed and slaughtered by our loyal subjects how could this happen

The Starks deserved worse

All Theon did was murder a few dozen people including women and children. Ramsey was very, very mean though and that's worse really.

lol knew i'd get made fun of for missing a key

Ramsey did everything Theon did except he also skinned people alive and murdered his own father and fed a woman and her infant child still living to dogs.

murdered his own father and fed a woman and her infant child still living to dogs.

Not canon. But at least Ramsey wasn't a turncloak.

I hated those scenes. Was just torture porn for a millennial audience that grew up on happy tree friends

Father chimped out against the realm of civilized people for no reason

Despite this you get taken in as a ward

Treat like a son by Ned

Treat like a brother by Ned's sons

Treat better than John by Catelyn

Get fed the finest food and drink with a team of servants catering to your every whim

Become one of Robb's most trusted advisors, guaranteed a lordship and your own noble house

Chimp out and destroy it all for muh salty seagull shit ridden islands

Yeah, no he deserved much worse

That was his tragedy.
He thought that his blood family has the same values and strengths and virtues as his "adopted" one, so when it was time to choose sides he chose his blood. But he wasn't fully aware of how wretched they actually are.

It's his fault for not being informed more, but he thought that his blood family would have the same bonds as his adopted one, which of course was not true at all.

You think Roose Bolton wrote the pink letter? Ramram 100% murdered him already.

OUT! OUT, YOU SHITS! I'm going to write a will naming Eddard Stark god emperor of the fucking universe and ruler of everything and I want NO witnesses present to substantiate his claim. GODS I was smart then.

Ridiculous theory. Never heard this one before. Didn't we last see him and Ramsey together and a large group when Lord Too Fat To Ride a Horse got his neck slit?

has alfie been in stuff? I miss him

You're missing the part where he was always reminded that he was a hostage and that he'd be killed if Balon Greyjoy chimped out. He was treated well (better than the bastard of course, he's a noble) but that doesn't mean he wouldn't have been thrown out the moment the Starks considered it necessary.

Oh wow I guess I'd better murder two innocent children and desecrate their corpses then.

Better to be cruel than weak.

Theon really went for it and decided to be weak and cruel.

Reread the letter and tell me seriously that you think Roose wrote it.

I don't. I think Manse wrote it. He also sent the cutthroat after Bran.

Theon should've simply sat down and enjoyed his bread, boar, and chicken. The key to a happy life is happy eating.

keeps his subjects safe and away from battle

lords north and south kneel to him

produces dozens of sons and daughters to expand the family

outlives everyone, even his own children

He did nothing wrong

The writing surrounding these two characters is so frustrating. It's as if Robert and Ned were actively trying to screw everything up and get themselves killed.

He has made the Freys the most despised House in the whole realm. Any Frey that steps outside the Twins is treated with disdain or left hanging from a tree. The only thing keeping him safe is Lannister power, which is rapidly crumbling. Soon he'll be alone with vengeful enemies on both sides of his river.

Stannis wrote it

What would Tolkien have thought about George's books if he picked up a few today and read them? He said he didn't like Dune, but didn't elaborate further, so I'm curious what he'd think about:

All the heroes are brutally murdered at dinner by slimey assholes

The hero in the first book dies a sad death at the end by orders of a deranged child king

Little girl is dragged out screaming from under her bed and stabbed over a hundred times while her baby brother's head is bashed against a wall and her mom is raped

Hot girls shitting brown smelly water in extreme detail

Innocent young girl is forced into a sham political marriage and is made to suck on dog dicks and other sexual oddities with the whole kennel probably running trains on her for her crazy husband's amusements

Man is flayed alive and mind-broken until he can't even recall his own name without extreme fear

Dribbling Myrish swamps getting finger-blasted

Why would Roose have to be dead for Ramsay to write the pink letter?

>Innocent young girl is forced into a sham political marriage and is made to suck on dog dicks and other sexual oddities with the whole kennel probably running trains on her for her crazy husband's amusements

In GRRM's defense this was pretty kino.

I don't think anyone deserves to have their dick and balls chopped off, no matter how bad they are. And Ramsey was a bigger piece of shit, so it's not like he had any right to be punishing Theon.

All the heroes are brutally murdered

The hero dies a sad death at the end

The Silmarillion

I want my bride back. [..] And I want my Reek. Send them to me, bastard, and I will not trouble you or your black crows. Keep them from me, and I will cut out your bastard's heart and eat it.

There's only one person and one specific circumstance that would lead to the writer demand "his Reek back", and that's Ramsay genuinely believing Theon and Jeyne are at the wall. Jon doesn't know who the fuck "Reek" is so anyone else writing it doesn't make any sense.

Your false king is dead, bastard. He and all his host were smashed in seven days of battle. I have his magic sword. Tell his red whore.

The letter was written after the Battle of Ice, that was originally cut from ADWD, but GRRM had to include the letter in ADWD to wrap up Jon's arc (and "kill" him). Stannis lost, but..

Your false king's friends are dead. Their heads upon the walls of Winterfell. Come see them, bastard.

He's not dead. Ramsay assumes he's dead, figures he'll die, or wants to keep up bravado and just claims he's dead, but Stannis is alive because he still has to burn Shireen. It won't be because of the Others, it will be to attempt to take Winterfell, like in the show.
The pink letter / Jon scene takes place AFTER the Battle of Ice, which will open Winds.

What in the everloving fuck.

I know you think manse is an epic mary sue ninja but him stealing from the royal armory is absurd

Neither of them gave a fuck. Robert was in depressed hedonism and ned just wanted to sit in the snow. Sansa fucked up neds plans not.his honor btw

Mel is gonna burn shireen, not stannis who would refuse. Also doubt stannis loses at winterfell given grrm mentioned the ice trick, the traitors in rooses camp etc.

It could be a stalemate however and it was written with theons help to get reinforcements couldnt it?

That was his internal monologue after he had betrayed the Starks. It is not supported anywhere else in the text other then by a man who threw away a good family and is rationalizing his shit choice to himself.
Ned Stark wouldn't have killed Theon if his father fucked up again.
Robb Stark wouldn't have killed Theon if his father fucked up again.
Regardless of the lord at winterfell they would've most likely installed him in his father's place after putting down the kraken again.

The letter is written by Ramsay and he is just baiting John.
He is lying about anything involving Stannis, he does have Mance and the wildlings captured and nothing presented in the letter is information not available to Mance.
Genuinely why do you believe him when he claims to have beaten Stannis?
