This was never my home. I was a hostage here. Lord Stark had not treated him cruelly, but the long steel shadow of his greatsword had always been between them. ~ A Dance With Dragons ↳ TWO WEEKS OF THEON: Lovers, Friends, Family, & Foes

You don't have to post this but here's some links to the Theon stuff selkiewife(.)tumblr(.)com/post/163908091005/robb-who-had-been-more-a-brother-to-theon-than-any (look in the notes) sing-for-theongreyjoy(.)tumblr(.)com/post/163908319201/a-thought-on-theon-quote-1 and that re-x person is going around attacking people for even making jokes. Like someone made a joke saying Theon was thinking "oh shit" when he saw Jon and they replied to it being like "this is ridiculously out of character (1/2)

you idiot" like they actually called them an idiot. then someone else said something they didn’t like and they spoiled the rest of the season for that person out of spite. then someone else posted an analysis of the Theon and scene and they were like “rewatch please. this is inaccurate” like it’s gotten to the point where people can’t post in the tag without getting a snarky comment from that re-x person. they hate anyone talking about the books and they hate anyone having a diff opinion (2/2)

okay, I’m going to reply in a moment to the other question but this arrived later and at this point I might just get it out of the way.

so.

I could not have published this, true, and I was tempted to for a moment, but since both users have actually, er, blocked me, I imagine after that time I said that if someone didn’t like the show but could enjoy alfie’s performance it didn’t make them a BAD FAN (or maybe before? who knows, no idea), and I imagine they’ll see this just if someone links them, I have absolutely zero fucks left to give, so.

a) I find it really immature and honestly ridiculous that anyone would go around and tell people how to feel about the show and on their own gifsets - some of us like the book, some of us like the show, it’s all valid and for the love of god it’s not a personal offense to them if someone likes the book better than the show and it’s not an offense to alfie or anyone involved in this discourse;

b) I didn’t even watch the ep yet (I’m not downloading it from the internet of my hosts and I’ll watch it when I’m at @incblackbird‘s two days from now anyway) but I saw that gif and tbh theon could have thought ��oh shit’, like, IT’S A JOKE;

c) calling someone an idiot over a joke in a tv show is fucking immature again same as telling people all over that they didn’t understand what they’re watching because tbh more than one person can play this game and we don’t want to go there;

d) ‘rewatch, this is inaccurate’ is hardly a way to interact with people;

e) I’m really fucking glad I’m missing most of this since I can’t see their posts (since I’m blocked);

f) it’s a fucking tv show y’all need to chill

g) theon greyjoy was a character from the books first so anyone can talk about the goddamned books if they please the tag is for all material about the character and not just for the show version

h) SPOILING PEOPLE OUT OF SPITE IS SHITTY AND HONESTLY WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT I MEAN I DIDN’T DO IT EVEN WITH THE WORST THEON HATERS AROUND BACK IN THE DAY SHOW SOME BASIC RESPECT TO YOUR FELLOW FANS because yes people with a different opinion are fellow fans;

in conclusion: I can’t fucking believe we’re all people past middle school and this is happening.

and now I’m going to address the goddamned other wank post. thanks y’all. ( @lordhellebore says hi btw and agrees with everything I’m relying messages xD <3)

There was no safe anchorage at Pyke, but Theon Greyjoy wished to look on his father’s castle from the sea, to see it as he had seen it last, ten years before, when Robert Baratheon’s war galley had borne him away to be a ward of Eddard Stark. On that day he had stood beside the rail, listening to the stroke of the oars and the pounding of the master’s drum while he watched Pyke dwindle in the distance. Now he wanted to see it grow larger, to rise from the sea before him… Above the Sea Tower snapped his father’s banner. The Myraham was too far off for Theon to see more than the cloth itself, but he knew the device it bore: the golden kraken of House Greyjoy, arms writhing and reaching against a black field. The banner streamed from an iron mast, shivering and twisting as the wind gusted, like a bird struggling to take flight. And here at least the direwolf of Stark did not fly above, casting its shadow down upon the Greyjoy kraken. Theon had never seen a more stirring sight. ~ A Clash of Kings, Theon I
