Theon's entire life, if he's considered a protagonist. He did have POV chapters in the books.

game of throne spoilers
His dad giving him away to the man that killed his brothers and forced his dad to submit

Growing up as a hostage and being reminded by random visitors that he was the Stark's bytch

Finally going home and realizing nobody cares about him or respects him, even poor fisherman

Trying to be suave by feeling up a girl, only to find out it was his sister

Finding out his sister is treated as his fathers "only son", and being ethered by her in front of everyone at the docks

Deciding to betray his only friend Robb so he could impress his father by capturing Winterfell, and not even having little Bran respect or fear him

Falling for some p*ssy and somehow losing a cripple, 5-year old, and retard, the only thing keeping him in power

Failing to give the man that trained him to fight a clean death because he couldn't properly swing a sword

Giving a final speech to "his men" to die in a blaze of glory, and being knocked out with one hit from the guy that convinced him to betray his friends in the first place

And then the entire sequence of events that led him to becoming Reek
:dead:@ that 2nd one

If we counting anime, then ole buddy from Berserk. His best friend turned into a Demon God, killed his entire group, raped his girl infront of him and corrupted Guts' unborn child that Griffith then used to become perfect.

Guts still hasn't touched ole boy either.


Prolly the biggest initial L I've ever seen, and it's continuing.

Yep, homie is also losing his body. What's even more fukked up is that if he dies the Ls WON'T stop. Because of that sacrifice brand he'll keep taking Ls in the afterlife. :mjcry:

Wait what ? What show is this

It's a show on SyFy on it's second season right now. They calling it Harry Potter for adults. :wow: Even though what you read is a huge spoiler, watch it breh it's good.

The Magicians


She was outcasted from magic so she did a bunch of fugazi shyt to try to learn magic

which in turn, got her to some other people that were outcasted and were trying to summon a God for more power/knowledge or some shyt.

Turns out they were tricked into summoning the wrong God, which in turn killed all of Julias friends brutally, ate their hearts, and raped the fukk out of Julia (in their blood) and got her pregnant. She's been trying to get revenge but ends up getting more people killed, fukking up other peoples shyt, creating more L's

Show is pretty entertaining. As funny as it is, it's dark and fukked up at times.

Better to watch on Netflix though. It's unedited on there

I think we can also blame Quentin for all that shyt happening to her. Wasn't him that came up with the time loop and had Julia excluded from Brakebills to variate from all the realities where the Beast killed them all? Makes that L even more poignant :mjlol:

So far my biggest L's I've seen are


1. Oberyn in GOT getting skull fukked by the mountains hands after WINNING the duel basically

2. Barry in the Flash getting his back broke and dragged around the city on the summer jam screen

3. Theon from GOT and his many L's

4. And maybe Julia from The Magicians and her humongous L but that could be tied with The Red Wedding in GOT

Tyrion getting his bytch snatched by his dad could be a huge L too but he redeemed all of that in a short period of time
