manchester_babe Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm talking about his skin and it's scars and the skin that's been taken off. Will it heal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylath's Snout Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Nope, not without magic. Maybe some of the things he has gone though could be fixed with modern surgery and transplantations but that is completely beyond anything mundane on Planetos.

kissdbyfire Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 But the actual raw wounds of all the flaying and finger-chopping have actually healed, no? He'll still be missing several fingers and toes and teeth, but it's not like the stumps haven't healed and are still raw and bleeding. So, yeah, these wounds have healed.

Give it about 3 minutes and someone will come up with a theory how Qyburn will rebuild Theon like he was a Lego man, complete with timeline.

Stormking902 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Theon is permantly scared and disfigured and the only weapon I could see him use in the future is a BOW and thats a big maybe as well since he still needs fingers for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance of that since unlike a sword or spear or the like, archery actually has a need for you to use your fingers for more than just gripping. You can still use those weapons or even hold a bow with fingers missing but you can't fire an arrow without all the necessary fingers on that hand... or at least that's the impression I got when I was taking archery lessons.

kissdbyfire Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Theon's "weapon" (read purpose, or how he'll be able to help, or how he'll atone) now is to be a vessel for Bran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh, wut? Not to be a jerk but couldn't Brann find someone better to mind-control? Sure Theon can walk but he seems to be in a worse state than Hodor. Also I imagine that Brann would have to deal with all the pains and aches while possessing Theon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's lots of foreshadowing for this, and as of TWoW Theon I, Theon is in a prime location for it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand spoiler concerns for the first week or so after something comes out, but calling something a spoiler after the better part of a decade is just preposterous. Wasn't the Theon Chapter literally in the original printed Dance hardcover anyway? I think it’s possible the daughter of the captain of the Myraham was the faceless man who killed Balon though... that should cause some new trauma if he’s even even thinking of getting over anything else.

Bitterblooms Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm not sure which parts of him have been flayed and to what extent. The only specific body part I can remember is fingers; Ramsay flayed them then cut them off when Theon asked him to. *shudders* If he has had other areas flayed if say no; those scars are permanent. As are his lost and broken teeth. I wonder if his hair will grow back or if his hair loss and color is permanent? A much more interesting question to me is if his psychological wounds will heal or if he is just a tool at this point. As to the spoilers, I actively try not to read them, even the published ones. But I definitely think I know what happens in all of them because of the forum. Spoiler boxes are our friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having a very hard time seeing Theon making any sort of recovery considering his truly horrific trauma and that the IB don't seem very caring when it comes to "broken men". Maybe with a fair chunk of magic but that very hard to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Melnibonean Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Betcha Qyburn could grow him a new wee willie. I mean, we have the precedent of Varys's little finger! (How does a gem like that get archived, I'd like to know.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
