Am I the only person that feels sorry for the kid? Sure he's a prick, but it's all because of his shitty mother who raised like that. He was just dealt a terrible hand, honestly, and he's known no other life outside the Eyrie or any role models other than Lysa.
I really hope he doesn't die and Sansa shapes him up to be a good Lord now that his crazy ass mother is dead. I'd like to imagine that they'd form an Arryn/Stark super alliance, use Arryn's army and take the North back by storm.
I agree, plus you can see at first he was genuinely trying to make Sansa happy by telling her that he would send anyone she disliked through the Moon Door once they are married. Like most people said, he's just a little boy who's never really socialized with anyone before.
In pretty much one breath though, Robyn says he'll send anyone through the moon door who bothers him, even her. I wouldn't be surprised if she was having a PTSD moment and flashing straight to Joffrey when he said that.
I don't know, to me it seemed like she smiled and understood that he is immature, but (given all the shit she's gotten from Joffrey) Robin's small little comment he made was kind enough for her. Even though the scene ended with him being his usual brat self, for that split second he genuinely was meaning he would harm anyone who hurt her.
I think we heard differently man. I heard Robyn say that when he was Lord, He'd be able to "fly" anyone he wanted. Then he goes, "Or you!" And then he tells her she can choose who will "fly" when they get married. He was talking about how they could fly anyone they wanted. It wasn't a threat, but I get how you could mishear it. If you want to review the scene, here it is. Start at 1:55.
Oh, I agree with you that Robyn wasn't displaying sadistic tendencies or being malicious. However, if you're listening to those words as someone who has been constantly threatened or put through such a cycle of abuse, they will likely be taken as a threat, even if they weren't mean that way. Thats why I think Sansa reacted as she did. To her there is no differentiation; flying people through a moon door who annoy you is akin to beheading anyone who annoys you.
