Yes I defend the living hell out of theon. Yes he is my son and a cutie. But for me hes one of the most relatable characters. Ive suffered verbal and emotional abuse from a parent and peers. Telling me I was never good enough or I was out of place. Telling me I would amount up to nothing. And Im still carrying the anxiety and depression from that today. Theon suffers so fucking badly and still has to carry the mental (and physical) scars. I love Theon because I feel he is one of the most human characters. He made mistakes sure, and Ive made mine and Im sure youve made yours. They lead us down diffrent paths and we learn from them. So yes, Im supporting a "turncloak" but I will not stand for people calling him a coward because for all the shits hes been through, hes one of the strongest in the bunch. Im now living by "What is dead may never die, but rise again, harder and stronger."
