A Dance With Dragons ~ 12. Reek I *Discuss only this chapter and anything prior

I know many of you don't like Theon at all but I really feel sad for him. He has been through a lot as Reek.

Him losing appendages and getting flayed was hard to read about.

ok what an actual f*** happened to Theon? His hair turned white and he looked like an old man (he's like 20)?. It was really a bit hard to read. Disturbing as hell. UGH.

Also, I wonder who that Fake Arya was...

This was disturbing. After reading the first sentence my facial expression stayed in disgust. Being tortured is probably the worst thing. GOSH! I rather die than be tortured. So much is wrong here.

Fake Arya is not going to be good. I wonder if Reek will remember Arya and call her out.

"He can take my fingers and my toes, he can put out my eyes and slice my ears off, but he cannot take my wits unless I let him." <-I feel like he's already lost most of his wits...
I'm not going to lie but I feel really bad for Theon...

Wow that was really hard to get through.

I cried my way through this chapter. I knew this was going to be hard, but fuck... I kept whispering "Come on, Theon. You're going to get your strenght back, you're going to get out, and you're going to fuck him up. Please, please, please, I believe in you." over and over and over again. Theon's been my favourite character since that first chapter in AGoT and I think this was the only way for me to get through this. And I don't care if everybody dies in the following books, there is only one thing I want and that's for Theon to get his revenge. I hate Ramsay. I fucking hate him. I don't care that he's fictional. I didn't think it possible to hate someone this much, but here I am... And to everyone saying that wasn't enough for Theon (because you've no idea how many times I've seen people write this on forums and what not) - what the fuck is wrong with you?!

Theon definitely didn't deserved what Ramsey did to him. I felt so bad for him.

At the moment Ramsey is the top of my list of people I want GRRM to kill off. I want it to be long and painful.

I couldn't agree more.

What a pyschopath! (Or, in this kinder, gentler age, should I say: poor Ramsay, obviously suffering from Antisocial Personality Disorder?) Theon didn't deserve this although I have no love for him after what he did in Winterfell. I have a feeling he will get his revenge later, although he will certainly never be the same after this.

Fake Arya, who I believe we last saw in A Storm of Swords (?), is probably not going to enjoy being married to Ramsay, especially if he finds out or even suspects she's not legit. It will be interesting to see if Theon gives her up - I don't have great faith in him after his prior antics, and that was before he was tortured.

GRRM likes to show that if you are strong, there's always someone stronger - if you're mean, there's always someone meaner...
