@americaninferno
@kayuripax i ended up having so many thoughts abt this that i felt it best to just. make a whole separate post SNKSKNSK thoughts that are. so largely irrelevant and mostly just me screaming into a void abt how i canât imagine things outside of canon. thoughts that you did not ask for, and actually no one asked for! and what my thoughts boil down to, tl;dr i love reading Other peoplesâ work in this lane bc Hell Yeah but i canât write it myself bc im a stick in the mud for canon
as usual w/ these kinds of posts its all my Opinions and i dont work for r* etc etc
i love reading fics in this vein. i love reading fics where the three of them are a delightful lil polyam moment, i love when authors play in that space bc i Wish hosea matthews had gotten what he wanted. i wish he had his cake and ate it too. but to me, i think dutch is actually the problem hereâi just canât picture dutch being willing to play in that space At All. romantically, sexually (and this is not to say the man wouldnât be down for a threesome, even a threesome with hosea and another woman, i just dont think heâd be down with bessie, and ill get into that), the whole nine yards.
im literally that guy that's in every town in rdr2 who's standing on some street corner preaching abt some bullshit no one cares abt at the top of his lungs
"oh remove the weight of the world from your shoulders for a minute arthur" is such an underrated dutch line we don't talk enough about oh remove the weight of the world from your shoulders for a minute arthur
this whole mission honestly. this whole mission is so defining for dutch just...as a character. he's careless, he's self-centered, and above all he doesnt give a damn abt any casualties whoever they may be. he's reckless and hes dangerous. and he enjoys it tooâhe gets a kick out of violence (we see it so many times: dutch laughing through the valentine shootout at the end of ch2, dutch actually saying out loud with his whole chest "this is kind of fun" as guarma is getting bombed to hell, and more), he gets a thrill out of putting his life (and others' lives!) on the line and it's even better when he pulls it off in the end. it makes the stakes higher, makes his ego bigger, his hunger for that thrill even more voracious and without someone ahem ahem to reign him in and talk him down to sensibility, he's a dog off its leash running fucking stupid

i need to draw them again
if vdm was yuri dutch would be high femme and hosea would look exactly the same
my heart cant take this i need to lay down
im back in the red dead trenches
concept: whyâd you come in here lookin like that by dolly parton
waiting to get my fucked up taxes fixed, let's chat gays
for the ask game, 14!
HELLO THANK YOU and lemme just be the first to say
TILLY FUCKING JACKSON đŁď¸ đŁď¸ đŁď¸ đŁď¸ đŁď¸
when i found out (through a random camp interaction btw, im pretty sure) that tilly had nearly the same upbringing as john and arthurâlost her parents young, fell into trouble, brought into the gang, taught to read and write and survive by dutchâit genuinely made me so mad. bc why isnât she more important?? why isnât she more relevant?? minus the One mission centered on her, the stagecoach robbery she can join in on (which she does Nothing in), and one dominoes cutscene, shes basically shoved to the background.
i think theres so much potential in her, in her character, that we see brief glimpses ofâwe know shes tough, we know shes ruthless, and we know she cares deeply about her family. if you keep an eye on her in camp, sheâs almost always in jackâs radius if abigail isnât, as though sheâs watching over him as an auntie. she speaks on how much she loves dutch, and when he gets back to the gang at the beginning of ch6 and asks for coffee, sheâs quick to jump up and get it for him. she stays til the end, just like arthur and john, because she cares about everyone in the gang, especially dutch. i wouldâve KILLED for more cutscenes or even just camp interactions with her and dutch and hosea honestly. her playing dominoes with hosea. her debating ethics and morals with dutch. one of them practicing shooting with her. anything.
arthur and john both have crazy intricate narratives showing them both growing as people, why couldnât tilly have been in on that?? we see arthur lean more towards hoseaâs temperament, and john towards dutchâsâi think it wouldâve been really interesting to see tilly be straight down the middle. a level head, a critical thinker, a clever girl who doesnât shy away from violence, even if itâs not the first or best choice. she couldâve been the best of them.
For that ask game, as a certified horse girl (genderneutral) I gotta ask about your horse choices-
SNSKSNSJS so im actually insane and i Have to theme my horses for every playthrough. they also always have to be girls
i think it was 2demondogs on ao3 who noted that nearly all of us follow the naming conventions of the characters' current horses to name other ones (in a positive way, like naming pre-canon horses the duchess or copper penny) and i stick to arthur's naming conventions for my horses. mythological names, names of legends, usually tailored to whatever kind of playthrough im doing.
i have 3 ways i play through a whole round of rdr2 story mode (as im sure most people do) which is:
1. high honor beginning to end
2. low honor beginning to end
3. low honor start, high honor end (this one's my favorite)
if im doing option 1, there's a beautiful all black horse with crazy good stats that you can buy in saint denisâit's dummy expensive, but it looks nearly complete opposite of the count, and i like that symbolism quite a bit. last playthrough i think i named this horse epona, mostly bc its the celtic goddess of horses and protection but also...yanno.
option 2, i go get the white arabian from the mountains. it's the closest in match and stats to the count, and i like the symbolism of death riding in on a white horse...next to his mentor, father, and downfall, of course. i usually name this one after some kind of royalty, again to match the countâi think i went with jezebel on my last playthrough LMAO
option 3, yanno when you're riding around on the map and you can find a man who gets his head kicked in by a brown palamino with a white mane? that's my horse. that's my HORSE. that's my favorite horse in the whole gameâjust like arthur, she starts as a wild and untameable murderer, and slowly turns into a heroine herself. i almost always name her anne bonny after the pirateâan objectively horrible person who has become more legend and myth than pirate.
other than these horses, i love that big one with the skunk stripes. i name it mephitidae. which means skunk.
