I actually haven't read any ASOIAF/GOT fics yet. I don't know, I think I'm saving that for later (like, during the hiatus when the season finishes).
Oh, that's understandable. I think it's a good thing I've seen Misfits BEFORE he was cast on GOT. Because I loved his character there.
Re Jaime - yeah, exactly. And it's not like good/nice characters with strong ethical morals aren't some of my favourites either (Jon's in my top 5), but morally flawed characters do have an inclination to end up taking like the top 3 favourite characters spots for me. :P
Oh, I see. Yeah, I guess those could be indications of sexual abuse. I also remember another scene where it made me feel that Ramsay was acting in a sexualized way towards Theon. Idk if you saw it that way too, but in that scene where Roose declares that he's taking Theon away from Ramsay and when Ramsay leaves, he stops by Theon (who is chained to the wall, I think, dear god) and then gets all up in his face and says something (don't exactly remember what anymore, but I think it was something like "I'll be getting you back and when I do, I'll torture you for this") in a hushed voice. I'd have to reread (which I don't think I'll be able to for a long time tbh) to know for sure if it gave me sexual vibes, but I think it did. "I mean, if you force someone to rape someone else you're still *forcing* them so you're also raping them even if you don't have a hand in it, if it makes sense" <-- oh, I know what you mean. I hadn't thought about it that way before, but you're right. :S
Yeah, I'm sure if there was something sexual between Ramsay and the original Reek, it was definitely consensual, because they were kind of like a psychopathic duo (psycho bros) who both enjoyed inflicting pain (and I don't think Reek would let himself be raped by Ramsay).
Oh yeah, I see. Like I said, I don't really believe he was castrated either, but I always felt like I was the only who thought so and I was starting to think I only believe that way because I WANT it to not be true, not because it actually isn't. But you gave me some valid reasosn just now.
Don't worry about it. I know these topics can affect some people pretty badly, so I was a bit reluctant to bring it up in the first place, but I don't really mind if it's discussed in detail (like, it doesn't trigger anything beyond what torture and rape generally trigger in most people - horror and disgust). Hope that made sense.
