Acting Lady and myself are very glad to have all of you with us and I've thought it would be nice if we could all share a few things about ourselves here, and maybe we'll make some friends (if that is what you want, lol).  I will go first and include a few basic facts about myself. You can find some of them in my AO3 profile, but I will try to be a bit more personable here. - I am a gay man in my late 20s. I love fandom discussion as well as reading and writing fanfics/viewing fanworks. I like to analyze and dissect as well as just appreciate the surface value of a work. - There are many reasons I love Thramsay and I will probably open a separate thread for that as well. - I like anything spooky, morbid, strange, shocking... It is very difficult to offend me and probably the one thing that will challenge me in that regard every time is rudeness. I despise rudeness. Yes, I am a Fannibal (fan of the Hannibal Lecter series by Thomas Harris who tends to share many of Dr. Lecter's views on the importance of manners). I take it so seriously. Ha ha! - I enjoy researching for a fandom that I am passionate about. Stories are a huge part of my life. I am a devoted novelist, and although I will not be sharing details of that part of my real life here, I can say with great pleasure that I have finished my first novel recently as well as started another in the same series; I have a lot of other original works that I've begun, including the beginning of another novel aside from the fore-mentioned (fantasy genre), and the outlining and some tentative chapters for a series that will be classified under sci-fi category. - I enjoy editing but I don't typically like to beta, and deadlines/pressure tend to put me off of updating. Ha ha! I respond well to encouragement as well as politely worded constructive criticism though. - I like cats. The animal (s), the musical (CATS), learning about them as well as being around them. - I am a Psychology nut; almost have my Bachelor's for it and am going into an intensive career-centered program for it. I love it--it is not just a job to me--and my great passion in that area is for Criminal Psychology, actually. I love studying psychopaths, serial killers, any killers, those who abuse and manipulate and torture... their minds are fascinating to me (I would like to counsel the sorts I just mentioned, actually; perhaps in a prison setting, if private clinic isn't feasible). Any kind of mental illness, especially the personality disorders are something I make a point of knowing a lot about. I have compassion for those who are truly ill, and even cruel because in my view nurture wins out over nature, for the most part--and of course I could have a full discussion on that. Starting to see why I like this pairing so much, maybe? lol - I had brain surgery that cured my epilepsy a while back, and while my writing seems to be better than ever I notice that sometimes I accidentally insert words in a sentence in the incorrect order. So while my brain is healing (forming new neural pathways and all that, it could be several more months before everything is in 'full working order' although I am getting better every day), if you notice some spelling and/or grammar errors on my part please do call attention to them. I actually want you to! My livelihood depends on being in the best writing condition I can be in, ha ha. - I am from the U.S. of A. Not everything is perfect here, but I am grateful for the good things I have in life, and I count all blessings as great--you never know when you might need something that seems small! Thank you all very much for being here, and I look forward to hearing some tiny (or longer, if you like) details about each one of you. Something as simple as listing hobbies, interests, career goals, motivation for liking Thramsay and similar pairings/relationships would be awesome to read about.If you have questions or suggestions then feel free to PM me (I try to maintain contact with our admin) and I will make sure they are noted and discussed as needed.
We all have one thing in common here: We are fans of a pairing that most at least shun, if not outright revile, and that means we all have a common link. I would love to know more about what it is, and to make this place a sort of 'online home' for Thramsay fans and those who like 'darker' things, along with that pairing. So let's be friends and start interacting with one another! Many blessings to all of you. I hope to see you all feeling welcome and happy here.  |

1. I like the pairing Thramsay because it shows an interesting dynamic between the two Ramsay and Theon/Reek.
2. I haven't read the books yet, only watched the tv show, although I'm planning to read the original.
3. English isn't my mother tongue. Obviously. If anything I say doesn't make sense, don't hesitate to ask me again. Thank you.
4. I've turned 30 this year.
5. I enjoy playing some musical instruments, like piano, flute and guitar, but I'm not so great with them. Just hobbies. I also enjoy trekking and riding a horse. I like reading as well. Despite the art stuff I have uploaded here so far, art is not my strength nor my best hobby, although I sometimes doodle is all. But most of all, I love trying new things, be it activity or food or whatever.
6. On an irrelevant note, I dream almost everyday and most of my dreams are quite weird, out of this world kinds.
I'm not good at self summary and probably not the most interesting person to get to know, but if you have any questions about me, then feel free to ask. Well, wait, maybe not ANY questions. Must be careful with the word, musn't I. But still, throw me some questions if there is any. Thank you.

XD There certainly is an interesting dynamic between the two, isn't there? *happy sigh* Ah, yet one more lovely discussion thread to open... I am currently reading Book 1, myself. And looking forward very much to the books where Ramsay is brought in. Apparently some kiss happens? Oh, I yearn to read of it even if it's not full-on tongue in mouth with heavy petting. lol. Is it though? Ha ha, I don't even know, but I can hope. I think you speak English very well. I could tell it wasn't your mother tongue, but you do a fantastic job. I can always understand you very well.  Yay, I'm not the oldest! Ha ha. I am used to being the oldest person in fandom... or maybe just the oldest one who bothers to disclose their age. I think for some reason there are people who start to feel that they are 'too old' for it after a while? In my opinion that is ridiculous. Enjoying a story endlessly is not like playing in a sandbox, and even if it was, so what? Ha ha. People are silly. That is so awesome that you know how to play so many different musical instruments! I have been wanting to learn to play many of them myself. I used to play the piano but I got bored with it as a kid and can't remember most of the skill now. I regret so much that I quit my piano lessons as a kid! I am going to take it up again when my situation for it is better. Also, I want so badly to learn how to play the electric bass guitar. I have one that's beautiful, and I just have trouble teaching myself and need lessons. And I am right there with you on drawing--although I'm not great at it, it is so much fun--and trying new things. omg, food. lol!! My dream world is also very intense and immersing so I can relate all too well to that. And hey now, you are a Thramsay shipper so that automatically lets people know you're interesting! Also, from what I've read that you posted here, you seem very interesting. You don't have to be a talkative person to have many layers and great qualities. XD Thank you so much for participating in this! It's really encouraging for the great things I know we all want from the fandom. It has made me so happy!! ^_^ I hope more people feel inclined to join in. |

XD Thank you so much for participating in this! It's really encouraging for the great things I know we all want from the fandom. It has made me so happy!! ^_^ I hope more people feel inclined to join in. Yea, the dynamic. I have just ordered the first two books yesterday and they're on the way now. I think they'll arrive at my door probably later this afternoon. I am wondering if I would like and enjoy the books as much as I have the tv show so far over the past few years. Most of the times with tv shows based on novels, I tend to get my hands on the original material first then move onto the adaptations, but there has been a few cases which the order was backward -and sometimes I found myself not really as much enjoying the books as I did the adapted versions. We will find out soon. I'm hoping the books are up to its reputation I've heard so far, because I think I could use some good, engrossing stories to spend my free time. It's a relief to know that my English has been understandable so far. My first tongue has absolutely nothing in common with English language, unlike lots of Indo-European ones. I'm glad that my English hasn't caused any confusion for anyone...yet. I had no intention of revealing my biological age, but then somehow it happened. I hope there are maybe some users on this forum that who are older than me. That'd be cool to know. And I totally agree with you on that age doesn't really matter when it comes to one's enjoying and doing something they like and want to. I started to taking piano lessons when I was about seven or so. And I had been wanting to do that for a while by that time. However, my parents were reluctant to let me sign up for a class first for some unknown reasons to me and I had to convince them that I would stick to it no matter what, then finally they supported me with the piano class. After about a year, all the initial fun parts wore off and such, I wanted to quit it, but then reminded myself of the promise I had made to my parents. So I continued in my lesson despite the fact that myself not really enjoying them as much as I used to. Now I'm glad that I didn't just give up back then. Playing the piano once again became a fun activity after overcoming some pianist's blocks(? like a writer's block?) and now I love playing it whenever I feel dour and a bit depressed. It's a good stress release. As for a guitar, I only dabbed, a classical one. Although I always found electric ones really cool. I do love trying new things. There are so much out there to be done, be experienced, etc. Life is too short, though, to try them all out. What a pity. Forgot to mention about and on your interests in serial killers and such. I have some interests in the subject myself as well. I have read some books and stuff about them, the serial killers, psychopath, etc., and I admit it was a fascinating yet an eerie journey to go through the stuff they had done or thought about. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear about what you can share on this subject. Sorry about the brain surgery. Wish you a good, fast recovery. On somewhat related note, my leg is still being a huge bitch. I'm not very happy about this. Obviously. |

Oh.. Hello! I am shy... don't tell anyone... About me... let's see... ehmmm... I am hauntedpoem. I think that I am into this pairing for personal reasons, let's just call it a bad romance, ok? So... I couldn't help but notice ironsalt and malreve's passion for Criminal Psych, and then I read that @cheryl is a law grad. I am a law graduate myself. Do we see a pattern here? He hee... Also, I have watched Hannibal (the series), loved and hated it at the same time. I've read the Red Dragon many years ago but never bothered with the others, mostly because I didn't have much time. I've read ASOIAF through book 3. I love GRRM's world! I write fanfic from time to time ( English is not my first language) but I do want to return to original fiction at some point. I do have something that could qualify as a novel in one of my drawers at home... but things at school were quite demanding, so I had to put that on hold. I like cats and dogs and many other animals. I had a cat, hamsters, a turtle. I took many strays in, and some baby birds but I don't think I want a pet atm (my life is a bit weird & chaotic). I can't ride a bike (I am afraid of losing my balance) but I do want to try again and maybe succeed. Running is my newfound love, mostly because it clears my mind and helps me sleep better. I like cooking for myself (again, I invent weird tasting recipes), a very useful skill if you happen to live in a dorm. Another thing that makes my life more beautiful is music and I like prog rock and indie stuff the most. |

Wow we all seem to have a lot in common!
I'm Miranda and I'll be turning 18 in a few months.
I'm from the USA.
I'm going to major in psychology in college and I can't decide wether I want to pursue criminal psychology or specialize in helping severely abused children. I'm a big anti-child abuse activist and I want to do everything I can to improve the shitty foster care/ child services system in this country. Hopefully one day I will be a foster mom.
So yeah, considering that it may seem strange that I like this pairing. I've always had an unusually high level of empathy toward others, like seriously couldn't kill a bug without crying. So I guess thats what fascinates me so much about psychopaths and their complete lack of emotion. I'm also drawn to the underdogs, I always want to protect them. So reading this pairing is equal part thrilling and painful.

So I guess thats what fascinates me so much about psychopaths and their complete lack of emotion. I'm also drawn to the underdogs, I always want to protect them. So reading this pairing is equal part thrilling and painful. Ah, yes. My empathy has at times in the past been out of control. I have had that same exact experience so many times--of not being able to kill a bug without crying. omg... And I certainly find it beyond me to judge or condemn anyone, no matter how 'bad' they seem... At the same time I tend to want to clean up the messes that 'bad people', or just those who are unstable, leave behind. And Oh yes, the underdogs. I am FOR them. ha ha. The common link, I am seeing between us all so far, seems to be: Intense interest in Psychology, especially Criminal Psychology and whatever consequences spring from acting upon urges within 'the criminal mind', and also that we are all inclined to be extremely creative. I think we all seem to express our interest in the dark parts of humanity through creative outlets within this fandom. United we are through... "Fascination with Illness, and a Desire to Research and Cure with Art?" A bunch of 'unqualified' scientists, in a way, perhaps. LOL. I like it. Especially these days I would have to say that yes, for me this fandom is equal parts thrilling and painful. The pain got to me and overwhelmed for a while. I will have it under control soon. I do pray. I find your aspirations admirable, Miranda. Whichever field you choose to pursue, you will be helping someone who desperately needs it. We are so blessed to have people like you in this world. If ever someone accuses you of being 'horrible' in some way for having an active interest in Thramsay, the criminal mind, anything like that... Well I do hope that you consider them to be rather 'in the dark' in a manner of speaking, themselves, and go forward with the good work you have intention to do anyway. Where you are meant to help others in this life, that will happen. Don't let yourself be discouraged for having empathy for those that most curse and wish death and much misery upon. Your compassion is rare and exquisite. It is a gift, not a curse. At the same time, we must all step carefully, right? Ha ha ha! |

Oh.. Hello! I am shy... don't tell anyone... About me... let's see... ehmmm... I am Triss, 24. I think that I am into this pairing for personal reasons, let's just call it a bad romance, ok? So... I couldn't help but notice ironsalt and malreve's passion for Criminal Psych, and then I read that @cheryl is a law grad. I am a law graduate myself and my postgrad programme is on Criminal Science (!). Do we see a pattern here? He hee... Also, I have watched Hannibal (the series), loved and hated it at the same time.

I like cooking for myself (again, I invent weird tasting recipes), a very useful skill if you happen to live in a dorm. Another thing that makes my life more beautiful is music and I like prog rock and indie stuff the most. I understand quite well what you are saying, Triss. I am an introvert and for me too this pairing is a sort of 'bad romance'. Something I am fascinated by, compelled to explore in some curious fashion, and often negatively affected by although I take much good away from it as well. Ohhhh, another Fannibal. I love that! I think I know what you mean by 'loved AND hated'... Fuller certainly was very free with many of his interpretations, right? Oh, please do 'bother with the others' though. Lol! Silence of the Lambs is an engrossing and thrilling read, and Hannibal is so thought-provoking, dark and gritty... ultimately devastating, in my opinion, for what it speaks to within the 'dark side' of human nature. I think that Harris is not much of an optimist. Or at least, he seems Hell-bent on painting his larger-than-life "I am not truly evil because I have so much that is interesting about me" character. Don't get me wrong, I love the character of Dr. Hannibal Lecter--but I have many thoughts on that, and it is a topic for another thread or perhaps another place altogether. Currently, Studiolo is down--don't know if you're familiar with it--I refuse to give up hope that it will come back to us with all posts intact. On closing note regarding Lecter-verse, I would also encourage you, should you find the time and have the desire to read these things, to read "Hannibal Rising", despite much of the negative reception that fans displayed. It has valuable details that are all an important part of the puzzle. And watch all of the films! omg, they're so good. The film "Hannibal" changed my life forever, to say the least (I haven't watched Man-Hunter in many years and will have to go back and do so, but I am a collector there and count all interpretations as valuable indeed). Dispensing with my little deviation into another fandom there, ha ha, I will say that I am so pleased to have another novelist (and perhaps writer of all mediums of original works?) speaking with us. That is so wonderful! I would love to hear more; at the same time, I know how it goes. If you decide upon sealed lips and then one day drop in with a post saying "Check your bookstores and see if there is anything new there that you like." Then I will understand very well. The elusive art of writing, and the agony of the sacrifice it takes to compose an entire novel... Ah, I hope that you do not leave it in the drawer forever. I am sure it is full of delightful things. Progressive Rock and Indie... I love that, among many others. LOL, I should just link everyone to my last.fm account. Maybe we can get a separate thread for that here instead of just trying to list all of the music that we like? I will say also in this post that I more specifically enjoy 'Industrial' within the more inclusive category of Progressive Rock. There is so much music I love. And I draw much inspiration from it. It was lovely to read all of this. I wish you the best with your studies and life in general, as I do all Thramsians and participants here. Although we have this common link (see my reply to lovelyladybones ) we are unique individuals. Perhaps a herd of black sheep who are stubborn and willful but very much interested in dwelling together? I like this analogy, although I am being humorous now. Thank you so much for sharing! XD |

malreve, thanks for your insight and suggestions. Hah... I kind of laughed a bit inside when I read the word "Fannibal"... I've read Red Dragon after finishing Bret Easton Ellis's Lunar Park and American Psycho. The last one took a toll on me in the same way Reservoir Dogs does to people who vomit upon seeing violence. I think that after things settle in my life, I might get back and finish the series. I have seen all the movies, including Man Hunter and Hannibal Rising (aaaand the series... and I gained a new appreciation for Will Graham's actor). WHen i first saw H.Rising, I thought... well... this is not going to work... I don't want to think that he had circumstances and justifications for turning the way he did, but it just happened and I had to accept it. I am in awe of genius in general because I am one of those people who considers intellect being above other things but after debating with myself, I've decided that intellect in the service of evil is not worthy of my appreciation. I usually feel sick upon hearing that. (Yet I write Thramsay myself... oh the hypocrisy!). This is the first time that I take actively part in a fandom so I am not familiar with Studiolo per se. It is funny, because I used to lurk in many places but somehow, I got out of my shell for ASOIAF/GOT. Haha haha haha... And about "the elusive art of writing" as you put it, I totally agree with you (and I think everyone who writes constantly feels that kind of pain, of tearing something from yourself). I don't think that I could qualify as a novelist. Not yet. I abhor when people refer to themselves as "writers" and stuff (please, don't get me wrong, it's just my opinion). I haven't published yet, but yes... the "half a novel" is there" and so are many short stories and some old poems, all bearing my mark so to speak.That "half-a-novel" had been written in between breaks from exams (stress makes me even more addicted to writing- did this ever happen to you?). Lately... I started having qualms about writing fanfiction in general. I started hating it - the smut, the pwp, the whatever you want to call it nothings. It drives me mad. I read some bad stuff (by accident and because of my sick curiosity) and now I have all these terrible images in my head (I wish for the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, sometimes) and most of my dreams are plagued by the stuff I read/ watch/ listen to during the day. Yes, you should totally post a link to your last.fm account! Music plays a very important part in my life as well but sometimes it influences my mood in a bad way. I've always been more attracted to more melancholy stuff. I like "Industrial" bands such as "zeromancer" and "stabbing westaward" but now I moved to something even more sad. I have Elliott Smith on repeat some days and "meanwhile, back in communist Russia", so my mood is usually trapped in between black and blue, so to speak.  I am glad to see you this optimistic! And I find you very interesting and would like to explore your mind more, if you allow me to. (although I am a terribly self-sufficient person and I rarely say stuff like that to people on the net but hey... I have to start somewhere!)

So reading this pairing is equal part thrilling and painful. wow lovelyladybones, I've always felt dreadful and paranoid after reading too many criminal law cases.I am a wreck. I had to change my postgrad courses into something more... erm... humane, less touchy-feely, less traumatic (imagine spending half a year in a morgue). it's not fun, love. why would you want that? it's not rosy and interesting like they make it seem on tv, you should know. However, it is amazing to see a person who wants to leave a trace of something good into this world. Empathy is much appreciated but sometimes I wish for apathy... |

Hey there, Thramsians!
Most of you know me already i think. I am Nancy or N. I write under nanjcsy and I am VERY much in love with GOT, but even more so with Ramsay Bolton and Theon Greyjoy/Reek. What do you all need to know of me?
I want to be your favorite nightmare.
I love to read and write very dark things. I love horror movies too. when i was very young i watched Clockwork Orange and the original I Spit On Your Grave....I knew then what type of person I would be. On the other hand, I love humor as well and do humor writing too.
These boards confuse me to death. I am probably old enough to be your mother, all of you! Which means computers and electronics confuse me to death. I barely remember to check my email once a month. I firmly believe that my new toaster oven will kill me one of these days. My appliances are alive and will attack me. Decepticons do exist. They are here at my house. I am also in real life a professional monster/actor. That means Halloween is my Christmas and it's my heaviest working time. I work for haunts and charities terrifying folks. I recently had neurosurgery so this year is the first season that I will not get to work. More time to write. I am trying to put together an anthology of Thramsay type horror stories with Malreve. We are looking for other authors as well. I love to write, read, and discuss Thramsay. I am terrified of this board thingie though..as i said...Decepticons. I laugh, you laugh, the toaster laughs.
I love Walking Dead, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Penny Dreadful, Sleepy Hollow, Black Sails, Atlantis. In real life, my husband and I spent our younger years as members of the Boston Dungeon Society. Before children we were 24/7 bdsm lifestyle. Mainly as submissive to him, but I enjoyed switching with others we would meet at Munches. I am a sadomasochist. Fibromyalgia and children sort of ended most of that for me. Don't mind because I love to read and write about it now. If anyone has questions for me....and i ever figure out how to get back here...i can answer them...otherwise, you can reach me ALWAYS at AO3!!!!!

Hi everyone, I've only just discovered this place and it rules! I know some of you already from AO3 and am really excited to see this other space too! I'm an academic and write a lot about feminist and queer theory and the politics and philosophy of the body; I am really interested in the fact that so many people into Thramsay are women and think that the whole Thramsay movement is beyond cool. Otherwise I'm into stuff like The Returned and The Leftovers - kind of stuff with a cold, flat tone. Anyway, it is lovely to 'meet' you all on here. Welcome, yourwastedspace. I do indeed remember you from AO3. XD Do you have a nickname you'd like for us to call you on here? A couple of discussion questions for you, lol: What are some of your specific thoughts on women being a large part of the Thramsay fandom, and in what ways do you consider Thramsay to be a movement? I am not familiar with either of the things you mentioned... The Returned and The Leftovers. I did a short Google search. They are both TV shows and I saw that at least one of them is based off of a book. Do these shows have good plot and characters? It is really lovely to meet you as well, and I hope we continue to have the pleasure of your engagement in discussions with us here. Please feel very much at home. XD |
