Ramsay was just as evil as Joffrey, but a lot scarier. Joffrey was a sniveling coward. But Ramsay was eager to fight his own fights. And he was terrifyingly good at manipulating his opponents.

[krism.]

You know a character is evil when even his actor was waiting for the writers to kill him off.

[danielsantiagourtado]

"If you think this has a happy ending, you havent veen paying attention" that line still gives me chills

[emissaryofthecows]

Your explanation of Roose's mentality versus Ramsey's was very enlightening.

It makes sense to describe both as monsters, but where Roose is a well dressed vampire, able to walk among men with a mask of normalcy, Ramsey is a gluttonous ghoul, unable to appear human if he were even bothered to try.

Ramsey Bolton was a very savage character. His actor did an absolutely amazing job showing off his brutality.
Amazing work as always 🎉

[danielsantiagourtado]

"i prefer beign an only child" more than a depraved reflection of jon, Ramsay was the living breathing embodiment of all negative steriotype about bastards in westeros

[tonybippitykaye]

Ramsey is one of the few characters in fiction that inspires nothing but disdain and horror for me personally. Joffrey was a monster, but I’d go as far as to say Ramsey was FAR more vicious and cruel in just how much pain he inflicted and how much joy it brought him.

[andu]

Sansa reminded him
His hounds were starving and the “oh uh” look on Ramsey before they rip that little homicidal maniac was the best

[LycanVisuals]

Him wiggling that sausage in front of Theon will always be one of my favorites moments of him lol

[teearat]

I have been a fan of Iwan Rheon since Misfits. When they announced he would be Ramsey. I was like, how can this man with these big expressive innocent eyes play such a monster? I gotta see this. There is no way. I was completely shook and terrified. His portrayal was outstanding.

[milesrinesmith]

When Sansa fed Ramsey to his dogs that moment was fantastic.

[GoodMorningBeautiful]

I don't think Lady Hornwood chewed off her fingers out of starvation. The Northmen are the ones who believed this was the reason she did it, but they know little of Ramsay at this point in the story. Ramsay's favorite method of torture is skinning a person's finger and leaving them in agony for days. I think it's more likely that Ramsay had her fingers skinned, and she chewed them off to end the pain. If it was done out of starvation, why did she stop at her fingers?

[GG-xxep]

*The whole world*

"Joffrey is the most despicable and hateful character ever."

Ramsay : "Hold my sausage, Reek."

[jrgenvellesen]

Iwan Rheon did a fantastic job in bringing this monster to life. Truly the Bastard of Bastards!
Would be fun to see a video on Krampus!

[MDFT]

FINALLY

For my money, Ramsay is the scariest character. Embodiment of pure evil. Somebody who doesn't want to kill you, but subject you to far, far worse things than death.

A captivating performance really does go a long way.

Looking forward to your Euron video now

Ramsey Bolton, man, this character was on another level. Keep up the great work

[danieldeclue]

😂"There's a STARK difference between Ramsay and his father." Well put, literally AND figuratively.

[daniell]

Ramsay is one of the most fascinating villains of ASOIAF. Nobody really understands what kind of beast he is until it is far too late. This is best exemplified by the scene where Roose presents Cat with a strip of Theon's skin (flayed by Ramsay): Cat wants to treasure the macabre trophy, but she resists the impulse. She thinks Theon killed Bran and Rickon, so we understand how she might delight in Theon's suffering. And yet, it was Ramsay, not Theon, who put Winterfell to the sword and burned the Stark fortress. Ramsay's brutality led to the unraveling of Stark loyalists in the North, enabling the Red Wedding in the first place.

[rikacanon]

I remember binge-watching this series and missing Joffery. That is how bad Ramsey was in the series. He makes the Ice King look like a princess.
