What might happen to Theon in The Winds of Winter

[atopvisenyashill]

Do you think it's likely someone like Sansa (or anyone else) may advocate for clemency for Theon in regards to his attack on Winterfell? Trying to figure out how he survives in the North in TWOW if he's still regarded as a turncloak.

YES OKAY

So I think probably what happens is that Bran speaks through the trees in the godswood which stops Theon's execution for awhile. I also think, at some point, Asha and Theon are getting wrapped up in the politics - not exactly sure how, maybe it's news of Davos & Rickon, maybe it's the entire fact that Bran spoke through the trees, maybe it's some word about Sansa or real Arya showing up somewhere, but essentially it triggers a discussion of what Theon faked between a handful of Northerners that convinces them to not kill him....but just for now.

I go back and forth a lot on what Theon and Asha are up to. I think they're going to stick together, but I think that'll be in the north. Whether Stannis & the Bolton-Freys play hot potato with Winterfell (which is what I think will happen that triggers the Shireen burning - Stannis gains, and is then chased out of Winterfell, which makes him desperate enough to do something like that), OR Stannis keeps it and it's a more straightforward sort of getting caught up because now Theon is Chosen By The Old Gods and if he didn't kill the boys he might know where they are OR Stannis never takes it at all and him and Asha escape (probably with Aly Mormont and/or Justin Massey is my guess) and get pressed into looking for the boys.

So mostly, I think how Theon survives is tied to exactly what happens in the godswood. I think Stannis will take part of Asha's words to heart and burn Theon in the godswood (I remember Stannis mentions wanting to burn the godswoods, I can see it being like a let's burn part of hte godswood too), but once the fire lights, Bran just straight up starts speaking through the tree to get it to stop. I'm not sure what he's going to say - like, it could be Bran from the future (if that theory is right) (it is right, i'm right), it could be Bran right now, he probably won't be saying much and what gets through will probably be confusing. I think it's important to keep in mind George's idea about how magic should work, which is that it should be fantastical. He doesn't like really obvious flashy displays of magic happening all the time, so what we're likely to get is going to look like a miracle of sorts. Of course, it's not a miracle, it's probably Bran just trying anything and seeing what happens out of desperation but Stannis & the Northerners don't know that. And if a tree is literally talking, and the crows are all saying Theon's name, I imagine that shakes Stannis' faith a lot. But what is Bran saying besides "please don't kill Theon, I forgive him, and I'm alive"? I really don't know what he's going to say.

But after that, probably I figure until like halfway through TWOW, it's going to be a lot of running around which means anyone who wants to kill Theon is going to have to catch him first. And once Winterfell is back under Stark control, I think literally all of them - even Jon! - are going to grant him clemency on a more official status.

No because what do you mean they were best friends as kids and Ekko had a crush on her, and then he tries to ‘rescue’ her from Silco but she doesn’t want to go with him and they end up on opposing sides as enemies and he insists that ‘Powder is gone, only Jinx is left’ but he paints a mural for Powder as one of the people they’ve lost and when he has the chance to kill her he can’t bring himself to do it because he still cares about her and she tries to blow them both up because she views death as mercy and wants to die with him and then he gets sent to another universe where she’s still Powder and he falls in love with her all over again and he goes back to his universe convinced he can save her and he has to watch her kill herself over and over again before managing to convince her to live and join the fight and they do and he wears her paint and then she just… dies anyways and now he’s lost her for like, the NINTH TIME

Modern AU but Theon got kicked out of the Starks' house at 18 (because Catelyn just couldn't deal with him anymore and he was probably spreading his bad influence all over the children), got kicked out of the Greyjoy residence (because Balon disowned Euron a month before that so might as well get the other headache away from here), and is now living in a village in the middle of the Northern nowhere with two prostitutes (Kyra and Ros, who took him in because he's the only one that can cook with more than two ingredients (eggs and pan)) in a property given to them by Littlefinger in exchange for tax-free stweardship. And they go out into the city every day on a bus numbered 47 that passes by the village only at 6am and 6pm only on workdays for Theon to try and find work and stop freeloading and maybe go to university one day but the only place that is willing to hire him is the Butchers' round the corner (Theon would've gotten over the bad work conditions and the mould on the walls if it weren't for the fact that the Butcher keeps looking at him with his weird ass pale blue eyes like he wants to snap his spine and eat his pith every time he passes)

Went on a proper reread of ASOIAF in english recently and I don't know what happened.

Never really cared for Theon, never understood the obsession some had with him, and when reading his chapters in ACOK he was even worse than I remembered.

Then I got to ADWD again, and now I understand....

Can we all agree that Boltons would dress like this?

Like, their outfits are always on a thin line between swag and tacky, and I love it.
