I need more of this shit please provide more of this shit i need it

in modern asoiaf wex is theon’s 12 year old algebra tutor (child genius and teenage dirtbag buddy comedy duo situation) who theon enlists to do the accounting for his business (selling vapes filled with water to kids in the park for 50 bucks each) until lysa finds out he sold robin an ‘e-cigarette’ and calls the police. wex lies to the cops for theon (who’s now temporarily blinded after lysa maced him) so theon is forever in this seventh grader’s debt but the only thing wex asks for is a date with asha because he knows it’ll piss theon off sooooo bad. asha thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world also she hates theon so she and qarl take wex out for ice cream while theon vents in his journal (robb said his therapist recommends it to blow off steam) until he gets bored and punches a hole through the wall next to a neat row of other punched holes covered by posters of half naked men covered by pictures of half naked women. their business is failing btw bran keeps stealing the pre-janked vapes from theon’s bag so he can give them to jojen (neither of them vape they just like to have them) and theon is convinced that the police are watching him and taking his vapes before he can sell them so that the government can force him to get a job because ramsay (lab partner in biology who always smells like pepperoni and b/o) told him about area 51 and now theon’s really scared of the fbi monitoring him and busting up his fake vape business and putting him away for life in one of those freaky facilities ramsay won’t shut up about where they torture you and probe you probably (he tries not to think about the probing because it makes his stomach feel weird). ok good night i loveyou

That night he dreamed of the feast Ned Stark had thrown when King Robert came to Winterfell. The hall rang with music and laughter, though the cold winds were rising outside. At first it was all wine and roast meat, and Theon was making japes and eyeing the serving girls and having himself a fine time…until he noticed that the room was growing darker.

ramsay is a little silly for chaining reek after starving, torturing and maiming him

he already has trouble walking with missing toes but the chain stays on still? 🤨

Sansa as the fair Jonquil, Jeyne as Jonquil's sister, Theon as the Grey King, Rickon as a direwolf, Robb as King Daeron the Young Dragon, Bran as Ser Barristan the Bold, Arya as Nymeria of the Rhoyne, Jon as the ghost of Prince Aemon the Dragonknight.

When the spirit stepped out of the open tomb, pale white and moaning for blood, Sansa ran shrieking for the stairs, and Bran wrapped himself around Robb’s leg, sobbing. Arya stood her ground and gave the spirit a punch. It was only Jon, covered with flour. “You stupid,” she told him, “you scared the baby!” but Jon and Robb just laughed and laughed, and pretty soon Bran and Arya were laughing too.

concept of a scene I think might happen after the Battle of Ice- Theon finds Ramsay's corpse in the snow.

The boy is a sly creature by all accounts, and he has a servant who is almost as cruel as he is. Reek, they call the man. It’s said he never bathes. They hunt together, the bastard and this Reek, and not for deer. I’ve heard tales, things I can scarce believe, even of a B o l t o n.

i don’t remember how canon does it but i like the idea that theon had long hair in AGOT and ACOK until he met balon again, at which point he cut it short for his prince in winterfell era. then ADWD reek and post-reek his hair is long and messy and white, and (hopefully) when he lives in TWOW he gets to style it and make his hair his own again.

asha on the other hand starts with short hair that she keeps short. this is until she’s captured in ADWD, marching as a prisoner with stannis’s army where it grows unmaintained, where it gets to shoulder length by the end of the book

Dagmer and Theon Parallels

“His hair is white and his teeth are rotten, but he still has a taste for glory.”

When I was rereading Theon’s chapters of A Clash of Kings, I realized that there are so many descriptions of Dagmer that seem to parallel what later happens to Theon. And some of these parallels seem to provide a shred of hope for Theon’s eventual recovery as well.

So book Dagmer is one of my favorite characters in Theon’s POVs- soooooooo incredibly different from show Dagmer who kind of stands in for Ramsay (“Reek”) when Theon takes Winterfell. Book Dagmer is the Master of Arms at Pyke who taught Theon to fight and who Theon thinks of as an uncle: 

Dagmer was no true uncle, only a sworn man with perhaps a pinch of Greyjoy blood four or five lives back, and that from the wrong side of the blanket. Yet Theon had always called him uncle nonetheless.

~ACOK, Theon POV

Dagmer is really the only Ironborn character to be truly familial to Theon when he returns to Pyke. Bucking him up when they are on their raids and supporting him:

The day is won,“ Dagmer called down. “And yet you do not smile, boy. The living should smile, for the dead cannot.” He smiled himself to show how it was done. It made for a hideous sight. Under a snowy white mane of hair, Dagmer Cleftjaw had the most gut-churning scar Theon had ever seen, the legacy of the longaxe that had near killed him as a boy. The blow had splintered his jaw, shattered his front teeth, and left him four lips where other men had but two. A shaggy beard covered his cheeks and neck, but the hair would not grow over the scar, so a shiny seam of puckered, twisted flesh divided his face like a crevasse through a snowfield. 

~ACOK, Theon

What I find interesting here is both the advice and also that Dagmer is showing Theon how to smile under adversity- Dagmer’s adversity being the horrible wounds he suffered in battle. I could see Dagmer maybe giving the same or similar advice to Theon when he was very young. Perhaps that is one of the reasons that Theon is described as always smiling when he is a hostage- to show that he is not afraid and to remind himself that he is still alive. 

The other thing that is interesting is the way that Dagmer’s smile will eventually mirror Theon’s after Ramsay tortures him:

Dagmer’s grin twisted his lips apart and showed the brown splinters of his teeth. … A lesser man might have been afraid to show a smile as frightening as his, yet Dagmer grinned more often and more broadly than Lord Balon ever had.

~ACOK, Theon POV 

I think it is also incredibly poignant that is is Dagmer that Theon is shown to be closest with among the Ironborn- because it mirrors Jeyne later. Jeyne is sort of on the periphery of House Stark just as Dagmer is on the periphery of House Greyjoy. Jeyne is the daughter of Vayon Poole, the steward of Winterfell. But she is still someone who was raised at Winterfell. Raised with the Stark children, but, like Theon, not one of them. And Dagmer is distantly connected to House Greyjoy:

Dagmer was no true uncle, only a sworn man with perhaps a pinch of Greyjoy blood four or five lives back, and that from the wrong side of the blanket. Yet Theon had always called him uncle nonetheless.

~ACOK, Theon POV

Both Dagmer and Jeyne are not “true” Starks or Greyjoys, but they end up being more significant to him than either his trueborn family or his hostage family. Jeyne is the one that shares her memories of Theon- not as a Greyjoy or a hostage- but as someone who she grew up with at Winterfell- who she sees as having belonged there instead of as an outsider. Likewise, the way Theon describes Dagmer is as someone who truly supported him growing up:

Ugly as it was, that smile brought back a hundred memories. Theon had seen it often as a boy, when he’d jumped a horse over a mossy wall, or flung an axe and split a target square. He’d seen it when he blocked a blow from Dagmer’s sword, when he put an arrow through a seagull on the wing, when he took the tiller in hand and guided a longship safely through a snarl of foaming rocks. He gave me more smiles than my father and Eddard Stark together. Even Robb … he ought to have won a smile the day he’d saved Bran from that wildling, but instead he’d gotten a scolding, as if he were some cook who’d burned the stew. 

~ACOK, Theon POV

Dagmer also supports Theon when he returns to Pyke, even though his father and other family members don’t:

“Why do you tell me this?” Dagmer asked. “It was me who put your first sword in your hand. I know you are no craven.”

~ACOK, Theon POV

Dagmer even supports Theon’s plan to take Winterfell, even though he is reticent at first- preferring to stick to Balon’s orders. But Theon is able to inspire Dagmer to help him with this line:

“I mean to do a deed that the harpers will sing of for a thousand years.” He knew that would give Dagmer pause. A singer had made a song about the axe that cracked his jaw in half, and the old man loved to hear it. Whenever he was in his cups he would call for a reaving song, something loud and stormy that told of dead heroes and deeds of wild valor. His hair is white and his teeth are rotten, but he still has a taste for glory.

~ACOK, Theon POV

And this part just really gets me because the last time we see Theon in ADWD, the extent of his physical damage is intense. He looks like an old man even though he is only about 21 or 22:

The old man … no one would ever think him comely. She had seen scarecrows with more flesh. His face was a skull with skin, his hair bone-white and filthy. And he stank. Just the sight of him filled Asha with revulsion.

~ADWD, Asha POV

But then when Theon recognizes Asha and she realizes that he is her brother- the FIRST THING HE DOES, is smile. 

His lips skinned back in what might have been a grin. Half his teeth were gone, and half of those still left him were broken and splintered. “Theon,” he repeated. “My name is Theon. You have to know your name.”

ADWD, Asha POV

And then in TWOW, when he is remembering his conversation with Asha, he says:

“We flew. Let Abel make a song of that, we flew.“ 

TWOW, Theon POV

I love this parallel of Theon and Dagmer- white haired, mutilated people with splintered teeth who still have the hunger- and ability- to achieve glory. I also love the idea that, just as Theon is able to see himself as human and worthy of being saved through seeing that about Jeyne, he may also be able to draw strength from the memory of Dagmer if he is given the opportunity to heal.

Now obviously, Theon has undergone the most brutal an inhumane mental and physical torture- unlike anything Dagmer has had to endure. But I still think that Theon could draw strength from Dagmer- both the memory of his love and support for him and also, his indomitable spirit. I think that Dagmer also may serve as foreshadowing for Theon:

Old Nan said he couldn’t be killed, that once a foe had cut his head in two with an axe, but Dagmer was so fierce he’d just pushed the two halves back together and held them until they healed up.

~ ACOK, Bran POV

In a way, Theon is also someone who can’t be killed. He is also someone who has had to reconcile “two halves” of himself- Greyjoy and Stark, Reek and Theon, Ramsay’s “creature” and human being deserving of dignity. Perhaps he can also find a way to metaphorically push the many versions of himself back together and heal? I personally hope so. And I think that Dagmer’s story could possibly be a foreshadowing of that eventual healing.

Yall are insane with your reblog additions like wow

Btw since the "massive amount of paintings"-poster asked me already, this is that painting of Mary Magdalene which made me think of Jeyne Poole

"A modern Magdalene" by William Merritt Chase

Plus, this bonus one that made me sad making me think this must have been baby sansa and arya being happy as little(r) children in godswood in summer or something

"The nut gatherers" by William Adolphe Bouguereau

Is there a painting with a character/pose/whatever which reminds you of an ASOIAF character?

(For reference, i'm asking because I saw "A modern Magdalene" on Pinterest and went wow that's a kinda Jeyne Poole pose)

#the one with theon and ramsay and robb and cately BRO wow #feels dramatic af #i love it
