THE TRAVELING FARE, characters

They could make any man dance, any sad maiden sing with joy. They were a flash of boldness and color in a world of terrible sorrow and grey.

How do you think Theon Greyjoy would have fared at the Archery contest during the Hand’s Tourney in AGOT?

As mentioned in a similar ask about Sarella, Anguy won that contest by outshooting “Ser Balon Swann and Jalabhar Xho at a hundred paces after all the other bowmen had been eliminated at the shorter distances,” (AGOT, Eddard 7) which can be estimated at about 250 feet. Has Theon ever been shown to shoot that far, and (if not), can we estimate his maximum range from known cases? (No, of course I wouldn’t just say “pretty well” or “not great” based on reputation).

Right off the bat, Theon has a few more instances of shooting arrows than Sarella (who just has the one scene in the AFFC Prologue) mentioning that he’s been practicing archery under Dagmer Cleftjaw (so before the age of 9) and had pretty good accuracy even then (saying he put an arrow through a “seagull on the wing” in ACOK Theon 3). Tyrion, a complete stranger, vaguely remembers Theon being “good with a bow” (ACOK Tyrion XI), and it sounds like he was one of the archers who shot down the Frey ravens (AGOT Catelyn IX) among Brynden Tully’s men. However, I’ve found two instances of Theon shooting arrows where we can roughly estimate the distance (if anybody has found other cases, please point them out).

Drunk, Theon decided, watching [Todric] bellow. It was said that the ironmen of old had oft been blood-drunk in battle, so berserk that they felt no pain and feared no foe, but this was a common ale-drunk. "Wex, my bow and quiver." The boy ran and fetched them. Theon bent the bow and slipped the string into its notches as Todric knocked down the Botley boy and flung ale into his eyes. Fishwhiskers leapt up cursing, but Theon was quicker. He drew on the hand that clutched the drinking horn, figuring to give them a shot to talk about, but Todric spoiled it by lurching to one side just as he loosed. The arrow took him through the belly. The looters stopped to gape. Theon lowered his bow. "No drunkards, I said, and no squabbles over plunder." On his knees, Todric was dying noisily. "Botley, silence him." Fishwhiskers and his sons were quick to obey. They slit Todric's throat as he kicked feebly, and were stripping him of cloak and rings and weapons before he was even dead. —ACOK Theon III

Theon intends to shoot at Todric’s drinking horn but shoots him in the belly instead due to sudden movement, so he’s close enough to see fairly small objects. He’s also able to make himself heard to the people next to Todric without it being mentioned that he had to move closer or raise his voice. A normal conversational voice is 60 decibels (dB). Sound pressure level normally halves (by six decibels) for each doubling of distance, meaning the distance between Theon and Todric at the point of shooting was about 40 feet.

The other instance is when Theon, carrying a longbow and with long razor-tipped broadhead arrows, shoots Stiv when he holds a dagger at Bran’s throat:

A low thrum came from the woods behind them. Stiv gave a choked gasp as a half foot of razor-tipped broadhead suddenly exploded out of his chest. The arrow was bright red, as if it had been painted in blood. The dagger fell away from Bran's throat. The big man swayed and collapsed, facedown in the stream. —AGOT Bran V

Bran is able to hear (though quietly) Theon shoot the arrow before it makes impact with Stiv’s chest. This is fairly significant because at shorter distances, Bran wouldn’t have been able to detect the arrow’s shooting and impact as separate events, and it’s estimated that humans can separate sounds as little as 20-30 milliseconds apart. Since sound travels 343 m/s through air, that puts the minimum distance of Theon from Stiv at 6.86m or 20.6 feet. However, that doesn’t take into account how loud the thrum of Theon’s bow is. It may be surprising that longbows are actually one of the quietest bows (the recurve is louder, and the crossbow the loudest) and the larger arrows like broadheads make quieter noises when shot, because the energy the bowstring would’ve made slapping the wood is transferred into hurling the arrow. According to this thread, the longbow firing could be around 74dB or over 10 times louder than normal conversation, about as loud as a vacuum cleaner. Using the same formula for sound over distance as in the Todric example, 74dB can be heard from about 90 feet away, meaning the distance between Stiv and Theon was between 20 and 90 feet (though admittedly, definitely closer to 90, maybe about 85 feet).

That’s about all I can estimate about Theon’s maximum archery distance; it’s less than 100 feet, far less than Anguy’s winning distance of 250 feet. It seems his archery talent is more in his accuracy at hitting small (sometimes moving) targets at somewhat “close” distances rather than hitting larger stationary targets at very far distances (maybe significant foreshadowing for his role in protecting the Starks in TWOW?) Meanwhile, the Hand’s Archery Contest in AGOT was based on who could hit archery butts from the farthest pace away, which is definitely not Theon’s strong point if my textual analysis means anything. Just based on what I can determine about sound distance from two more detailed scenarios of his shooting, Theon would probably make it to the early-middle rounds of the Hand’s Archery Contest and get eliminated by 40 paces/100 feet from the targets, (and probably insult all the men who got further than he did and mock the idea of Ned getting a tourney in general to make himself feel better about losing so soon).

A Clash of Kings - 37 THEON III (pages 485-493)

Theon oversees the harrying of the coastline, makes some choices that may affect his reputation with the Ironmen, and gets his honorary uncle on board with his plan for Winterfell.

-

What does it matter? Dead is dead. "Take him, then." "You will come as well. You command here. The offering should come from you." That was more than Theon could stomach. "You are the priest, uncle, I leave the god to you. Do me the same kindness and leave the battles to me."

huh. You know it's odd, from the way Theon boasts about his battle prowess and some of his thoughts, I got the impression he didn't have a problem with killing people, so is the reluctance here because Tallhart is a Northman? Someone he knew? One of Robb's men, and Theon's still clinging in part to that connection to someone who was almost a brother to him? (I say almost because Theon's ward/hostage status and associated issues regarding that.)

But also, oohhhhh, that's a choice. These people already don't like or trust Theon fully, and as shit as killing Tallhart in the sea might be for him, refusing the traditions is only going to further alienate Theon with his uncle and the more religious members of the Iron Island folks. Like I get that he doesn't want to kill him at all if he can avoid it, but I feel like Theon doesn't really understand he's in hostile territory here. The blood in his veins doesn't mean shit to many of these people, the boy is in danger!

Theon thought of seeking the bodies of the two men he'd slain himself to see if they had any jewelry worth taking, but the notion left a bitter taste in his mouth. He could imagine what Eddard Stark would have said. Yet that thought made him angry too. Stark is dead and rotting, and nought to me, he reminded himself.

Sure buddy, you keep telling yourself that, one day you'll even have yourself convinced. You know it's kind of interesting to see, but as far as I'm aware, Theon is really the only character who has this kind of cultural dysphoria going on. Like Dany has a disconnect from what she considers her birth culture, in that she has zero connection to it outside of being born on Dragonstone and her fam lived in Westeros for 300-ish years, but Theon spent as much time in Winterfell as he did in the Iron Islands, and as much as he's likely told himself he's still one of the ironmen, he's not really, he assimilated with the northerners, even if only a little bit, and now he's kind of stuck between the two cultures and the two ethical frameworks of said cultures, not fully one or the other. (But a secret third thing: in need of therapy and a loving home and a large jug of respect women and lower classes juice.)

One of them was in a shoving match with a fat man named Todric, who was reeling among the slain with a horn of ale in one hand and an axe in the other, clad in a cloak of white foxfur only slightly stained by the blood of its previous owner.

Lady Blue! Nooooooo!

... be honest, and raise your hand if you understood that reference.

He drew on the hand that clutched the drinking horn, figuring to give them a shot to talk about, but Todric spoiled it by lurching to one side just as he loosed. The arrow took him through the belly. The looters stopped to gape. Theon lowered his bow. "No drunkards, I said, and no squabbles over plunder." On his kneed, Todric was dying noisily. "Botley, silence him." ... Now they know I mean what I say.

A dangerous, if accidental, play. On the one hand, it does send the message that he means what he says and isn't afraid to kill his own men if they disobey, he's not someone they can take advantage of. On the other hand, he just killed one of his own men when he's already barely accepted on the whole. This does look like it should be a point in his favour, but we'll have to wait and see if there's any resentment over it.

... oh and there's the reminder these folks are pro-rape like the Dothraki. lovely (sarcasm)

"The day is won," Dagmer called down. "And yet you do not smile, boy. The living should smile, for the dead cannot."

Oh that gave me two conflicting thoughts. "We're alive! Let's celebrate by eating something dead!" and: Didn't Bran once describe Theon as 'always smiling' in GoT? That really does bring it home how much stuff Theon is going through emotionally as of late.

"How many men are lost?" "Of ours?" Theon shrugged. "Todric. I killed him for getting drunk and fighting over loot." "Some men are born to be killed."

ah, so more favour than flaw with this lot. Nice.

A lesser man might had been afraid to show a smile as frightening as his, yet Dagmer grinned more often and broadly than Lord balon ever had. Ugly as it was, that smile brought back a hundred memories. (...) He gave me more smiles than my father and Eddard Stark together. (...) "You and I must talk, uncle," Theon said. 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.

... I don't like how red that flag is. It's looking suspiciously like a death flag. Nothing bad better happen to Theon's emotional support uncle!

The fingers curled around the drinking horn were heavy with rings, gold and silver and bronze, set with pieces of sapphire and garnet and dragonglass.

dragonglass = 🥛

... ngl, Theon's plan is insidiously good. Deception, misdirection, theater! I wonder how much of his desire to take Winterfell specifically is his inner conflict with his two halves, and how much of it is the fact that Winterfell is the biggest prize in the north.

that moment when you forget some of the songs you grabbed from himbo playlist ideas and it surprises you how well it fits...

it's yonji's playlist and he has BOTH by Todric Hall on there... holy fuck i did not expect that one to hit as hard as it did

[smallhatlogan]

Theon Greyjoy is a great character, one of my top 5 in asoiaf, please stop believing him when he tries to justify his betrayal of Robb, it is exactly the same as when he accidentally shot Todric and went "I did it on purpose because he was drunk and fighting over loot” like he is consistently shown to be really good at justifying his actions to himself but he is absolutely full of shit.

Asabi havia sofrido um baque e tanto, o que não significava, entretanto, que sua vida havia parado. Muito pelo contrário: mal saíra do hospital e tivera de lidar com vários novos compromissos para além dos que haviam sido cancelados ou rearranjados por @cowardlylicn​. Prova disso era como estava pilhada às tantas daquela manhã de sábado, resolvendo pendências antes mesmo de sair do quarto, aguardando a chegada de Todric porque gostaria de falar com ele, tendo pedido para que ele subisse ao chegar. Enquanto isso não acontecia, a Azura continuava se exaltando com o telefone, respirando o mais fundo que podia porque, de acordo com os médicos, deveria estar de repouso, não passando por grandes emoções nos próximos dias. Ainda assim, ali estava ela, chegando a pensar em como desejava não ter tido alta tão rápido simplesmente para aproveitar mais do ambiente hospitalar bem menos caótico do que sua própria realidade. Precisava acertar os elementos finais da última edição da Glamour e checar o andamento de alguns pedidos específicos, mas nada parecia funcionar naquele dia. “Meu Deus, eu só quero que esse ano acabe.”
