FYI: I’m loving life right now and just want the same for Theon, okay?! :purple_heart: So let’s hit the road, Theon- road to recovery, that is!!!! :wink:
First thing’s first: I think Theon deserves ALL THE HUGS IN THE WORLD.
Secondly, as awesome as hugs are, they can’t actually save him sadly. If what the majority of us expects to happen comes true, then Theon will not survive the series.
But say he does. What IF he lives? That’s always a possibility, even in Game of Thrones. So let’s entertain the thought and run with it, shall we?!
Many New Year’s Resolutions are about getting that much-needed “fresh start.” Because let’s face it, we ALL got problems that need some fixing, and a new year- a new beginning, if you will- is a great way to motivate us to do that.
Let’s just say that Theon has had more than his fair share of- to put it nicely- unforgettable experiences. I’d like to believe though that he’s still capable of getting that happy ending, maybe because I’m optimistic af or maybe because I’m just a sucker for these kinds of comeback stories. Either way, count me in always and bring on the hopeless and the downtrodden!!
I’m no therapist/psychiatrist/what have you, but let’s just roll with it for now, okay? Cool. :sunglasses: Understandably, having resolutions can sometimes force us to confront some truths we much rather avoid, or even face challenges we think we’re not quite prepared to meet head on yet. Sometimes though that’s just what it takes in order to meet the goals we’ve set for ourselves. In the case of Theon, there’s really only two things left that are worth resolving in my opinion: HIS FAMILY LIFE & SELF-WORTH
So as fun and easy as it might be to grant Theon a life dream full of lovely whores at his every beck and call, I decided to shoot for something a bit closer to his heart, and not so close to his...oh, right! Nvm. 🙃
And let’s face it, no other woman will ever live up to Ros anyway. I mean, so why even bother?🤷🏻♀
><><><><><><><><><><><><
Theon, for one, has always had family issues, never quite feeling like he belonged anywhere. Greyjoy or Stark? Stark or Greyjoy??
(Both, Theon. It can be both.)
So then what exactly would Theon Greyjoy’s New Year’s Resolution be for himself? And how would he go about achieving it? Well, let’s take a look, shall we? (Not exactly earth-shattering stuff here lol, nevertheless very realistic goals, I think. Besides we want our resolutions to be challenging not impossible!) :point_down: :
1) He’ll want to patch things up with his family. As we’ve seen so far, he’s already begun to do so. He’s by no means fully ready to accept them back into his life, however, so that’s one area he can definitely improve on. Good thing for us, that’s one thing he does intend to really work on this new year!
2) To once and for all forgive himself for the foolish mistakes he has made, as well as acknowledge that he doesn’t need to punish himself the rest of his life to make amends for his past stupidity.
Alright, so there you go! That is Theon’s New Year’s Resolution!! Not quite as simple as it looks, so I thought I better provide some advice that could help him follow through with his resolution this new year, as well!!
For starters, simply don’t cut yourself out of your family’s life, because we know that thought has crossed your mind more than once, my man. Don’t think we can’t see that. Just keep on fighting the good fight, but maybe work on accepting more help or asking for it from time to time?? That’ll be sure to do you some good. You gotta open up some more if you ever hope to heal from those wounds and let go of your past. It’s by no means gonna be an easy journey for you either, Theon, but I swear to the Drowned God himself it better not be a suicide mission you’re headed on right now. So you better not go sacrificing yourself thinking you won’t be missed, boy!! Gah dammit, it’s not too late for you!!! YOU STILL MATTER.
*deep breaths in, deep breaths out* Cute little animals always make me feel better, thanks.
Anyway, I’m not asking for too much here, am I? When people set these kinds of goals for themselves, surely there is some part of them that must believe that these goals are in fact possible. Maybe it’s easier said than done- in fact, when is it not?- but that’s just part of the journey everyone has to take. Especially for someone who’s endured what Theon has. You gotta start from somewhere though, right?! And once he truly confronts his problems, I do believe he’ll be capable of finally coming to with everything he’s done. His family already knows he’s strong enough to and it’s about time he realize it, too. *Cue sappy family pics to appeal to your emotions*
Now go save your sister, Yara, and embrace that Greyjoy side of yours! Without ever forgetting the Stark in you either, of course. :sob: :sob: *happy tears*
I have high hopes for you, Theon!! If you don’t end up dying trying to rescue your sister that is. :sweat_smile:
~Oathkeeper over and out!!~🤘
