“My mother raised me to be bold”
Teenage Asha with Alannys
So I’m very late to Ironborn week but,
wanted to do another family portrait for the prompt #1 : Favorite House
this time and AU where Greyjoy rebellion never happened and Rodrik and Maron are alive.
I feel none of them being the heir, Asha and Theon would be closer, they can still bicker and fight but yeah hating their big brothers make them look out for each other.
So I wanted to portray that by Asha telling some joke to Theon and Theon trying not to laugh lol

Remember, Alannys sometimes wanted ki/l Balon? Maybe it is because Balon often thought/planed his new rebellion, which mean Theon's death. So, she always stopped her husband to save Theon.
Balon: We are Greyjoys! We take what we want! Asha and Theon: we know Theon and Asha* take Balon's car and money, because they want it* Balon: ... Alannys: rise kids is no your, Balon
How do you think, in modern Iron island when Balon and Alannys start dating/ their first date it was like something normal, romantic, boring or funny? I mean we know Balon as boring and egoistic asshol. Also Alannys was bold. (They must be together some time or Theon, Asha, Maron and Rodrick will never be born.) So, when Balon did something in his style (to show that he is real ironborn and danger) Alannys would said what she think ( because Balon can looked stupid/strange) . And I sometimes imagine how this can look from the side. I dont know why, but for me it is interesting imagine their relationship.(I know it looks like I'm addicted to Greyjoys).
I dont know how you, but for me, Theon's dream become Stark is painful. Because he realy was a hostage (and that Ned and Robb were good to him dont change this fact). Theon was child when his taken away from real family. And that Balon, Maron and Rodrik were bad to Theon dont reason make Theon from Greyjoy to Stark, remember about Asha (and his uncle Dagmer) and Alannys who has lost much of her mental faculties afrer lost all her sons. They also Theon's famaly (not Starks). And Theon was kid when come to Winterfell, of course he wanted have family. He called Robb brother because wanted be friend with Maron and Rodrik ( maybe get resoct or love from them). The same with Ned and Balon.
( As for me Theon more Harlaw, like his mother).
Maybe Balon loved Alannys. Their first son they called Rodrik, maybe like Alannys brother, but Balon can called him like someone of Greyjoys. Also he had 2 salt wifes, but where their kids? If he had bastards son, they would came to Pyke after Theon go with Starks, but this doesn't happen. Balon raised Asha like his heir. Also after Alannys moved to Harlaw and they cant have other sons Balon dont take new wifes. So, yes I think that Balon love Alannys, and she loved her husband back. But after rebellion she saw ,,real Balon's face” (stupid egoist) and with time become apathetic to husband ( and maybe some time hated him.)
my mother, or her ghost?
