Exposing myself as a Theon girly, he’s so pathetic I love him
“The first time he had ever kissed a girl had been here. Later, a different girl had made a man of him upon a ragged quilt in the shade of that tall grey-green sentinel.”
“Did the Bastard hurt you?“ Rowan asked. "Chopped off your fingers, did he? Skinned your widdle toes? Knocked your teeth out? Poor lad.” She patted his cheek. “There will be no more o’ that, I promise. You prayed, and the gods sent us. You want to die as Theon? We’ll give you that. A nice quick death, ‘twill hardly hurt at all.” She smiled. “But not till you’ve sung for Abel. He’s waiting for you.”
*inhales*
MKAY that’s just an AU, where Ghost loves Theon more than Jon, and Jon secretly hates it (like…it’s HIS direwolf??) but always pretends to be cool with it
And obviously, different timeline
from an audience perspective we know that balon said ned delighted to turn theon into his own sweet daughter because he was being a homophobic deadbeat and there is obviously nothing to back/legitimize the accusation of ned being a weird northern pervert but you know like at the time theon left and spent the whole walk back to his room being like “oh my god was i… being groomed? was i being 💕💖🩷❤️🔥💘 groomed?! 💘❤️🔥🩷💕💕”
