schrodinger's chekhov's gun. a detail in a story that looks like it should have some big payoff but it's too early to tell if that's relevant or if the author just has a passion for lovingly describing guns.

Personally, do you think that Theon saw Ned more as a father figure or his captor and possible executor? And on Ned's part, what were his feelings regarding having Theon as a captive/ward?

The latter:

Lord Eddard had tried to play the father from time to time, but to Theon he had always remained the man who'd brought blood and fire to Pyke and taken him from his home. As a boy, he had lived in fear of Stark's stern face and great dark sword.

Theon I, ACoK

But he was also aware that Ned was a loving father to his children. Theon's own bio-father and brothers were abusive. Theon's captivity was also an escape from that abuse. He was brought into proximity of a reasonably healthy family environment in a deeply messed-up way, so the poor guy's confused and conflicted about the whole thing, jealous and afraid, and quite reasonably unwilling to trust.

As for Ned, I think Theon has it backwards - I strongly suspect Ned's first instinct would have been to care for Theon, he forced himself to a level of distance and suspicion (to protect himself), and couldn't always maintain it.

disco elysium-like: theon in winterfell, adwd

You stand over the parapet. All around you the crossbows are whistling in flight, nocking, tensing. Far off to the north was a warhorn sound.

LOGIC: Stannis. Our only hope, if we can reach him.

PERCEPTION: The cool air stings against your face. Time slows to a crawl.

ENDURANCE [medium: failure]: Look at you, thinking you could play the hero like the songs. You must be fucking insane. That's it, isn't it? The Bastard must have flayed your brain too.

SHIVERS [challenging: success]: The snows whispered in the autumn air, falling like ash. Like tears. Somewhere, deep beneath the bowels of the earth, the dead kings stand vigil over stone tombs, the swords stern and sturdy in their hands. In the heart of the woods the weirwood waits with its knowing red eyes.

SUGGESTION: Reek...reek....

INLAND EMPIRE [trivial: failure]: It rhymes with Mozambique.

ENCYCLOPEDIA [easy: success]: What the fuck is Mozambique?

A bolt passed within a foot of you, shattering the crust of frozen snow that had plugged the closest crenel. Holly and Frenya were as good as dead. There was no sign of the other spearwives.

HALF-LIGHT: If they take us alive, they will deliver us to Ramsay.

COMPOSURE [formidable: success]: You feel Jeyne in your arms. She was the only warmth in the world.

CONCEPTUALIZATION [challenging: success]: You've only seen Bran climb these walls a hundred times. It's just like that, see? Just the other way round. All you have to do is fall.

PAIN THRESHOLD : Just like Bran.

DAMAGED MORALE -1

LOGIC: There's nothing else to do.

INLAND EMPIRE: No chance, and no choice.

Jump.

Jump.

Jump.

-1 Internalized Dog Motif. -1 Missing fingers. -1 Life is not a song. +1 The old gods know your name.

⚅⚄

SUCCESS: LEGENDARY

VOLITION: Deep breath in, out.

PAIN THRESHOLD: This is going to hurt.

You grab Jeyne about the waist, and fly.

Rating Theon/His captors ships

Theon/Ned - 1 star. Some potential on Theon’s end with his complicated feelings about Ned as a hereditary enemy/potential executioner/father-figure-that-wasn’t. Unfortunately Ned doesn’t seem to have registered Theon’s existence. Thinks about him more like a piece of furniture and not in a sexy way. Why does Ned make Theon carry the sword? Because he kept forgetting Theon was there when he didn’t. Like I wish it was a power play.

Theon/Robb - 2.5 stars. This is my preferred dynamic between them. Unfortunately most Throbb content tends to downplay the age gap, not to mention avoid framing Theon as Robb’s hostage. Robb is Theon's little brother but also the lord he owns obedience to in Ned's absence. Robb admires Theon and heeds him but also scolds him like a cook who burned the soup. His father's sword comes between them. How would Theon have reacted if he knew how frankly Robb and Catelyn talked about killing him in retaliation for Balon's attack on the North. How sloppy was the blowjob Theon gave Robb in return for his freedom. These are the questions we must be asking.

Theon/Roose - 4 stars, as long as it’s used in conjunction with Thramsay. I prefer to see it mostly as Roose’s way of controlling and manipulating his son by making him share his toys. Why tf does Roose bring up how he likes Walda making noise in bed? Maybe some goodfatherly advice - have you tried squealing and shuddering when Ramsay’s bouncing you in it? it might endear you to him.

Theon/Ramsay - 5 stars. Absolute peak. Canon almost doesn’t need to be improved upon. It’s like Georg reached into my brain and extracted my tastes exactly. Especially when you throw Jeyne into the mix.

Theon/Stannis - 5 stars. This is it. I’m so pumped for the next book guys. I become more #Thennispilled every time I reread Theon’s released TWOW chapter. Captor/captee. Torturer and victim. Skeptic and prophet. The guy with no sense of humor and the guy who smiles at everything. Contempt for Jon Snow. Age gap. Their shared dental problems. I am rooting for them to be Westeros’s no. 1 toxic couple. Does it count as old man yaoi if one of them is twenty one but has been prematurely aged by torture? Idc I love it. 

Honorable mention:

Theon/[Rodrik/Maron] (Not including this in the main list because older brothers technically aren’t captors. Still what is family if not a hostage situation.) - 3.5 stars. Look, sibling abuse runs in the family. Daddy Balon certainly seemed convinced that the Starks had made Theon their whore. Why if not because he had seen Theon let it happen before.
