Regarding the latest episode RE: Battle of the Bastards

[tyrelltempest]

Sympathy? For Ramsay Bolton? No, I can't say as I feel any. He treated poor Sansa in a most awful way. And his actions against young Rickon Stark? Deplorable. The gods punish such wickedness...obviously.

He got what he deserved, so far as I'm concerned.

[The little lady tilts her head and nods.]

Being in my position, I only have a...little knowledge of the...man.

[It's not often that serene face of her's twist in disgust...but her little lip curls as she struggles to even treat him like a person. Maybe more than a little knowledge.]

His end is an important reminder...one's sins will eventually come back to devour them. Sometimes quite literally.

[tyrelltempest]

In my experience, dear, a little knowledge of Ramsay Bolton is more than enough - bordering on too much.

But I indeed agree. Everything you project onto others does indeed come back against you. He projected nothing but torment and wickedness. He had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

His end was indeed ironic. The very hounds he sent upon his victims came back to end him in turn. The gods are indeed quick to punish such wickedness and assert their justice.

[She nods, and smiles.]

You'd think it would be a lesson that others would learn... in the lands I'm from, a lesson like this is spread out among many faiths and philosophies. Treat others as you wish to be treated.

And yet... even on my fingers and toes, I cannot count how often I am hired out to assist in dealing with the folk. And these people are always surprised when they find my fist to their knees, my knives to their ankles.

[tyrelltempest]

Catching more flies with honey than vinegar - I'm also familiar with such philosophies.

You earn compensation for bringing such people as Ramsay Bolton to justice? That's an admirable trade indeed.

[soldier_blade]

In my experience, people don't always get what they deserve-one way or the other.

I'm glad this is the case now.

[tyrelltempest]

Yes - something I see far too often I'm afraid.

[Namely, the Queen.]

At least one moment of justice came from all this...and hopefully it marks a new era for the future.

eeh, sorry, was thinking of the wrong ep.

[soldier_blade]

I've experienced bullies so far. If you have one in a position of authority, they will forget that not all are willing to be victims.

Sansa was brave for what she did. She was able to look Ramsey in the eye and essentially tell him that his words were nothing to her...a lot of people would've caved in.

..Seriously, the mun's read things of how people were convinced Ramsey loved her. This is the same man who fed his lover's corpse to his dogs.

And calling him a bastard is an insult to all bastards out there.

No worries!

[tyrelltempest]

'Bully' puts it mildly, if you ask me.

But I am equally proud of dear Sansa. She was a good friend to me in King's Landing. I would not wish ill upon her. I was devastated to hear that she had been promised to that wretch......I honestly wondered which of us had it worse: Her with Ramsay, or me with Joffrey.

But after that horrid display...she had it worse by far.

[Because she was alone. Margaery at least had Olenna to protect her.]

[justice_for_all]

I've actually heard my mun talk about this subject and I cannot believe that there are people who think this Ramsay guy shouldn't have been given the death he got. Uh, hello? He was an evil, deranged, misogynistic, patricidal mass murderer, torturer, and rapist!

The foul creature deserved to be ended painfully, I say. Justice has been served!

[tyrelltempest]

...there are those who think his death was not justice? Fools, indeed! You've described him perfectly, my dear - and you're quite right when it concerns his death. He deserved every moment of it, and worse.

[justice_for_all]

YES! All of this, exactly!
