Prepare for the lowest quality video you have ever seen but why does shit like this ALWAYS happen when I'm in a hurry????
Hey gang sorry for the lack of everything on this blog I have been very sick for the past few months 😮💨 I miss rdr sooo bad I want to weep I miss my guys my gang.... my rdr2 tomodachis..... sighh
I think something that still baffles me to this day is the real lack of rockstar capitalising on rdr2 merchandise, yknow?
I mean, there's still merch you can buy occasionally when it's in stock, but basic shirts and small novelty stuff doesn't really scream rdr2 in the way people tend to be passionate about. The limited edition collectors crates were cool, but again limited and expensive and not really merchandise that fans can buy easily.
Sure, there's the cool Arthur posable figure that isn't technically official, and the vinyls and the various merch partnerships that came and went quickly (and expensively), but nothing that I would really consider collectable merchandise that promotes the game I guess? I wish we had more stuff like the pins and keychains and mouse pads!
Yet no art book, no official journal replica, no badass graphic hoodies or hats, no game prop replicas (huge missed opportunity imo), no gamer specific merch, no novelty stickers, no prints, no posters, no official figurines, it's just a huge loss honestly.
Like, the merch we got vs the average fan merch.
In some ways, I'm glad rdr2 wasn't capitalised to death with excessive merchandise because it has given fans the opportunity to create amazing merch. But it also makes me wish there was just more merchandise with more effort put in.

I seriously cannot recommend enough actually watching brokeback mountain to fellow rdr2 fans it's so worth a watch
Iron lung is genuinely the best movie I've seen in ages oh my god
People joke and say that Arthur is older sister coded but I feel like the reason why people say that is less because of Arthur's age and more because of the specific responsibility put on older siblings, and older sisters especially are made to be the emotional backbone of the family.
They're expected to grow faster, mature faster. They're expected to carry responsibility that doesn’t belong to them yet, to step in as caretakers and mentors whilst being treated like children themselves. They’re expected to make adult decisions young without being given adult agency. They're expected to hold a family together without being allowed to fall apart.
Arthur isn't snappy and bitchy to be unkind, he's like that because the sheer weight of expectation and care hardened him. He became the backbone of the gang, the workhorse, the one who absorbed consequences and carried the burdens of the gang's choices, Dutch's especially.
So when people call him older sister coded, what I think is being said is the recognition that Arthur was a man who had spent his entire life being a caretaker and enforcer before he got the chance to be a person. Just like the sisters put into that role too young, Arthur didn't really know what to do with himself once he realised that he deserved care too.

We know that animal symbolism is huge in rdr2, but I especially love how the gang having "assigned" animals was made canon thanks to red dead online - as belt buckles of all things! (gorgeous ones too!)
Charles, Micah, Sadie, Karen, Javier, Strauss, Swanson, and Bill each had themed buckles from the long discontinued Outlaw Passes. They weren't directly named after each gang member, but the clothing and details are almost exact to their human counterparts!

All the new rdo players after the holidays are so funny because you can see that they have no idea what they're doing but they're trying their best anyways and I love it
"You have my friend."
"He's not your friend.. I'll give you money-"
"Oh be quiet."
Dutch's outfit is finally available in rdo!!
I remember so vividly on my first playthrough (when you help Margaret find the animals) I gasped so loud when you mosey into the farm and see an actual lion. A LION.
Every worker on the ranch: WOAH THERE!!!! STAND BACK!!! ITS THE DEVIL!! THERE'S A MONSTER IN THAT THERE BARN!! AN EVIL CREATURE SENT BY SATAN HIMSELF!!!
Arthur: it's a dog in there fellers 🙄
The lion around the corner:
"Put the man down, gentlemen."
The snow has finally arrived in red dead online <3
