House Greyjoy - Tumblr Posts

don’t interpret this in any way just let it wash over you: If Theon were alive today he would watch PewDiePie 

i dont judge people based on what asoiaf house they think theyd be in...

...i judge people based on their opinion of the adwd victarion chapters

since everybody’s throwing in their pick for the dragon riders i’d like to officially say that my top picks for the 3 heads of the dragon are Shaggydog, Mormont’s raven and Victarion Greyjoys weird claw hand

Sometimes I sit there like “I love Theon Grejoy he is my favorite character and I relate to him in some ways” and other times I remember that he wanted to drink his sisters breast milk

I do really want to love the Lannister family dynamics and appreciate the way it falls apart but as someone who grew in a family where people hit on the table and yelled to get their points across you gotta understand that Greyjoy family dynamics just hit different 

People talk about a lot about the tragedy of the Stark family -- which mind you is absolutely fair what happens to them is horrible -- but in my eyes the most tragic family we see in asoiaf has to be the Greyjoys, just because of how inherent their tragedy is. Unlike the Starks, they did not start off happy in a secure home, well respected by the rest of Westeros. From the first moment we see them in the story they’re all struggling in one way or another due to all the trauma they’ve experienced thats either intergenerational, due to the Greyjoy Rebellion, due to the actions of other family members or due to how in general they are treated by the rest of Westeros.

All the Greyjoys we encounter seem to feel this need to prove themselves, or excel or gain power in some shape or form, like they’re all scraping at the walls of this hole they find themselves at the bottom of -- a hole that only seems to get deeper as the books go on. Their wish to prove themselves usually comes from two places; to prove themselves to other family members or to prove themselves to Westeros.

The Starks show us the horrible fate this family suffered from when they left their homes and were separated from each other. And whilst things were never perfect for them, they all yearn to return to Winterfell and their family. 

House Greyjoy (it would feel weird to call them a family) are splintered apart from day one. The horrible things that happen to them don’t happen because they f.e. left home or are apart, they come from the inherent tragedy of being a Greyjoy, and how that affects and defines their actions across the series that lead them to their predicaments.

Which is why, other than the Starks, where we have the feeling that this all was avoidable and are biting our nails at every corner hoping they will make the right choice, the fall of the Greyjoys seems almost inevitable at times -- and therein lies, imo, the tragedy.

ok um i saw this photo and

Iron Islands Appreciation Week 2022 -> Day 1: Favorite House or Politics and Reforms

i genuinely need someone to make an au of what would happen if balon would have SOMEHOW won the wotfk

theon: dream that Ned might marry him to Sansa also theon: speak with Robb about ,,his girls'',  behave arrogant and levity  in front of Ned

OK, but what if Rodrik was good to Theon, before he became alcoholic. Maybe Theon had 2-3 years and can't remember this?(Maybe once Theon come to Rodrik to play with him, but got jolt or hit).

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.

When Theon come home after many years Balon said that Ned and other Stark is bad/hostile and censured his clothes. ,,Did Ned Stark dress you like that? Was it his pleasure to garb you in velvets and silks and make you his own sweet daughter?'' I have one qestion. Why Balon don't thought that Theon just don't have clothes like other ironborn? Cause Ned don't allowed Theon wear clothes like on island (or somethink else what Balon can imagine).

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* go to Balon and Alannys to say that they are bitches*

Maron who said Theon that “bitch” mean “person I love the most” * just watching*

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).
