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.)
Theon*playing with puppy,which he got from Robb*
Balon: You are with this stupid dog again... Go to your mother, she need your help.
Balon when Theon gone *pet the puppy and starts play with him*
Balon: who is good boy? You
Theon who came back: I knew that you like Kraken
Balon: no one will belive you
Quellon as father is so bad. One of his sons (Euron) abused little brothers and killed older and he just bad person. Balon become big not normal Old Way fanat. Quellon must did something with Euron's behave and talk with Balon about Old Way. But he didn't.
And Balon is shitty father too. Rodrik was alcoholic, Maron bulled Theon and he rised as scared and shy boy( I think Balon don't like this) but he also do nothing. And during his rebellion Rodrik and Maron dead, later he lost Theon. He is good father only for Asha
Only one lady Sunderly can't cope with 5 kids and Alannys with 4 kids alone.(I don't think that this is real).
Balon always was stupid and have more faults. He wanted bold and stronge kids. Two older sons bulled younger, who physically can’t protect himself (becaust younger). It’s weak act, not bold or stronge.But Balon don’t care. Also Balon can beat or humiliated Theon. As result Theon was shy and scared boy. And Balon just disappointed in Theon, when this was his fault too.
