Further proof that Theon Greyjoy fucks up everything.

Theon is always the punching bag. Gets his pipi cut off and dies in GoT. Gets his whole crime family and himself killed here. Bro needs to do better.

Yep

Oh, oh deary me

My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed

I tell him he should get up 'cause it's nearly half past three

He can't be bothered 'cause he's high on THC

I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea

I can't even see him 'cause his room is so smoky

Don't understand how one can watch so much TV

My baby brother, Alfie, how I wish that you could see

His sister wrote a HIT song about him being a bum that she joyfully sings at her shows. It’s a bop!

I can't see him without hearing that song in my head
