#prophet theon

another reason why I love the idea of prophet Theon: multiple times when people are thinking about how annoying Theon's smiles are, they say it's because it makes it look like he knows some secret. just imagine how much more obnoxious he could be if the Gods were actually telling him some juicy goss.

re prev post....... I love love love the idea of Theon, Prophet of the Old Gods, for so many reasons. I think it works so well thematically, character development-wise, plot-wise. But certainly one of the reasons is the image of Stannis Baratheon being flanked by his two pet prophets: one an old woman who looks young, the other a young man who looks old; Mel having dedicated her life to serving R'hllor, being ironclad in her faith and her purpose, while Theon continues to insist "look, they're not even MY gods, I don't know why they're speaking to me, I don't know why any of this is happening."

once again thinking about the potential for the Stannis-Prophet!Theon partnership in TWOW…just imagine how hard Theon would laugh if Stannis sentenced Lord Manderly to death for the killing of Davos and the Old Gods whispered in his ear that it was because he did the exact same lord/smallfolk head-switcheroo that Theon pulled with Bran&Rickon. He’d keel over about it.
