theon grejoy vs finnick odair - a comparison
theon greyjoy:
when we meet theon in agot, we quickly learn his humour, how he hides his sorrow/trauma well enough under a veil of smiles, quick wit and seduction.
theon’s character is painted as a dark youth, very well loved by the common ladies in the area (meaning he’s hot!!!!) and loves to joke about his exploits (bran pov in agot where robb needs to cut theon off for talking about a threesome in front of a child)
his character has connections to the sea and he is extremely skilled with his weapon of choice (the bow). and he was very young when he was taken away from the home he knew.
finnick odair:
when we meet finnick in catching fire, we see him through katniss’s lenses. she quickly dismisses him as an attractive man with little compassion other than for making lewd jokes. (she is not very good at reading people on an emotional level, much like bran the literal 8 year old).
his humour and seduction are useful in making it seem like he’s not much of a threat, though he did win his games very young because of his charm and skill with his weapon of choice (the trident)
the allusions of him and the sea are a big part of his character, though it’s clear that he was pulled away from his home as a capital’s hostage to please the citizens, putting his loved ones in danger should he go out of line.
NOW TOGETHER:
theon and finnick are both known as characters who a quick to humour as well as wit. shining smiles seem to win them the favour of those attracted to them but behind those smiles there is always something hidden.
much like finnick, theon is taken away from his home against his will, he is used as a hostage in the north, the lines blur between him and finnick as the latter’s loved ones are threatened, whereas for theon, he is the one who is being threatened, should his father fall out of line.
both go through a rather traumatic ordeal- crippling them mentally. theon in his reek transformation due to ramsay and finnick post catching fire when he knew that annie was captured.
the biggest similarity, other than their good looks, would be their draw to the ocean. we see very clearly in catching fire that finnick is in HIS element when he’s close to the ocean. theon’s ancestry and gods are of the ocean and i believe the thing that weakened him significantly is that he was away from the element that sustained his people. leaving him on land where he became so detached from the ocean that even his own father didn’t accept him.
anyway this is long winded, i will come back with more because i want to discuss this with people.
please comment, rb, send me asks on things that i might have forgotten, these are my scattered thoughts at this very instant.

You have awakened a hyperfixation that has been long dormant. It requires Natsu headcannons for nutrition (please, and thank you very much kind person)
Ah but of course. Would I even be Phoenix if I couldn't even oblige a comrade with Natsu headcanons
Always has something flammable on him. Packs of matches, lighters in his pockets, sparklers in his bags, etc. He's always gotta have something on him for snacking purposes when he's traveling. This also, incidentally, is a reason why no one likes having him near their kitchens because they know he's gonna swipe their matches/lighters.
Doesn't like reading much despite how much he loves stories. He gets why other people like it but it's just not for him. There's just not enough in there to catch his whole attention. He'd much rather listen to someone narrating a story to him than try to force himself to read it. This is the basis of how Natsu and Levy started hanging out as kids, she'd read some of her books aloud and he was her most avid listener.
Is unintentionally snobby towards other fire wizards. He's not even doing it on purpose! It's just if you use fire magic within his vicinity he will judge the quality of the flames, heat intensity, overall control, etc. It's even worse if he eats it and doesn't like it.
A lot more reliant on his senses compared to the other slayers, especially his sense of smell. Every new thing he encounters has to pass a sniff test first. He does this with people too but tries to not let it be too obvious (kept gettin too many complaints but he doesn't always remember). Flip side though is that he can get easily overwhelmed by smells that are too strong :(
Adrenaline junkie. Much to the annoyance of his friends. If he doesn't do anything that'll guarantee him a head rush he'll explode.
Absolutely despises anything touching his neck that isn't his scarf. He hates anything that touches his neck (and by proxy, the scar on it). It is an absolute no no zone for for anyone or anything to touch.
People fucking hate fighting him because he is all over the damn place. He's slippery, he keeps dropping to all fours like some freak. Can't let him get too close cause he bit someone a few minutes and they dunno if he's willing to sink his teeth into another person. Plus there's something in his eyes that makes people uncomfortable cause no one should look that excited while bleeding and fending off a hoard of bad guys.(In a normal sanctioned fight like GMG or something official he will not bite, he can hold back for that. Outside fights he's playing by his own rules though)
Started his collection of souvenirs from each mission as a way to tell Igneel about everything he's done over the year while he was gone. Stopped a lil bit after Igneel's passing but picked it back up again down the line. Maybe not as meticulous about it as before but it's a hobby he still keeps up.
Ambidextrous but favours his right for a lot of things. Still doesn't get why it's a big deal to people that he is tbh.
He could literally watch Happy stab someone but would still defend Happy without question and with his last breath. 'Oh? My lil buddy stabbed you? Well what'd you do to piss him off huh? He wouldn't do that just cause. Obviously you did something that made him defend himself! What were you tryna do to him huh?!' It's why Happy's so smug, he knows he can get away with almost anything cause of Natsu.
Had severe Tony Hawk syndrome before GMG and his face got known enough for people to finally be able to put a face with his nickname 'Salamander', which honestly he kinda misses. Sure free stuff is nice, and meeting new people but he could do without people always hounding him sometimes :/
Does not know how to tie shoelaces and never will. You can't make him.

day 28
hi tumblr (the entity), i promise i didnt forget about you
i have been in sydney the last few days and it's nice to be back home. it was nice to catch up with old friends, go to the places i don't normally get to see anymore
i feel a little tired, i always end up having sleepless nights when i'm out and about in the city because i don't want to waste time sleeping that i could be spending with friends
versus the country i feel a little more like i'm just another person; it's actually a nice feeling not having to worry about the way that people look at me. i know there will always be bad eggs but i genuinely do feel that i'm understood there, and out of place here
today i go back to work, as much as i don't want to. i had to buy a new bike since my old one got stolen, so that i can get to work. i should probably invest in a car, but a bike is more my style anyway, at least for the moment
i've had less mundane things to talk about on here, but my head is spinning a little more than i want it to for that. i'm not quite teetering on the edge yet so i'll be ok without that release
hope you have a nice day
