theon is the character of all time because the idea of your father’s failed rebellions hanging over your head the entire time you’re a prisoner of war and being so motivated by your desperate need to find belonging with him and your people, that you attempt your own rebellion that leads to you becoming a prisoner once again is probably the most gut wrenching outcome possible. forced to hear of your surrogate ‘family’ dying, feeling the immense guilt for it, forced to think that maybe you didn’t have it so bad because while ned stark was your gaoler from the age of 10 at least he didn’t have you emaciated, eating rats and getting sexually abused. forced to reckon with the suffering from your adolescence that became second nature with every disregarding word, every indifferent action, from the people who held you hostage but were also your friends. man.
this is the holy trinity

(note: i do not endorse linked youtubers entire channel nor any of their takes aside from the general ones in the videos i shared)
can i just say that i love that there's so much you can interpret of the boys’ familial relationships from small bits of dialogue scattered throughout conversations.
hank obviously has his wife, clementine. art seems very close to his grandma, he mentions her a lot and wants ray to give her his cross necklace. barkovitch could also be close to his grandma since he calls her 'meemaw' and his relationship with his dad is debatable because he shouts fuck straight after mentioning him. stebbins obviously has major daddy issues (no pun intended). collie thinks ray is lucky to be able to see his mum which suggests that he's close to his own family and wants to see them. rank is very defensive of his mum so is probably close to her too.
there's seriously a lot you can get from one or two lines of dialogue and i love it
stebbins it seems I’ve grown quite fond of you tho there are no sexual urges or desires you come to me as a long lost friend whom I once picked apples with in papa’s orchard
