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.

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.

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.
