Theon I TWOW

You read ACOK and think "surely the drop Theon takes from thinking he will be welcomed with open arms on Pyke to being publicly humiliated is the most intense emotional plunge he will experience from a family reunion" and then in his first chapter of TWOW he goes from expecting his sister to try and save him to hearing her call for him to be put to death with such a chill in her voice it makes him shiver. Like I'm glad the chapter ends with theon smiling but woof.

#asoiaf #theon greyjoy #asha greyjoy #i mean having read asha's pov chapters we the audience know that she is simply trying to prevent his suffering #but theon has no way of knowing that #family reunions have never been anything but a source of humiliation and rejection for theon #which is why if he survives i expect him to be very reluctant to reunite with his mother #especially if asha is the one pressing for it #insane squid family #doc
