yo the LAST thing I expected to find in HBO’s austere bleak prestige historical drama Chernobyl (2019) was Old Man Yaoi and yet here we are 😭

[fiiiiin]

there’s gotta be some psychological reason behind why John fans just want to see that man hurting and whimpering and crying like a kicked puppy. fanon John is in shambles and in tears and someone (Arthur) is holding him and making it all better

JOHNNY GETTING HIS SHIT ROCKED

[fiiiiin]

It’s of a dog (dachshund?) wearing headphones and the caption is “yo jugando re dea redenshon 2” and it was the funniest shit ever please if you know what i’m referring to and have it somewhere SEND please

Hosea telling Arthur and John to run run as fast as they can, away from Dutch and his spiraling insanity. Hosea telling them to do that while also telling them that he can’t go with them. Not only because he’s old and dying but primarily because he could never leave Dutch behind. He knows Dutch is leading them all to a painful death but their deeply entrenched bond with one another forbids him from ever leaving Dutch’s side. So the most he can do is spare his children the pain while accepting that his only way forward is to endure said pain because Dutch will always be his soulmate and the inexplicable connection they have with each other will always trump any sort of animosity or pain, death included

morston is so easy for me to visualize and contemplate from john’s perspective because i have a coworker with whom i have a very similar dynamic as john does with arthur. 10 years older, mature and competent and kind and teasing and sardonic. and im just a little bit infatuated with them and am very clingy and worship the ground they walk on, which they probably find to be annoying and irritating but most definitely also endearing and adorable. I know theyre fond of me despite all the pestering and i see something similar in john and arthur

So unwell about Morston atm. I’ve just been microdosing their fics to prolong the enjoyment. I know they’ve got a not too skimpy fanbase but simultaneously the amount of antis they’ve got also just gives me the wrong impression that fanwork for them are few and far between. I know it isn’t. You guys are so ridiculously talented and I am grateful to you all for keeping them so alive and happy (?) when R* wouldn’t.

I love Charthurston because 80% of the time it’s Charles trying to get the other two dumb motherfuckers to acknowledge and admit their feelings to each other

[fiiiiin]

My dear Morston fanatics…I just discovered Favored Attention on AO3 and it really is everything I ever wanted in a Morston fic. Their dynamic is so fucking delicious and I need more I need a boatload more. Does anyone have the author’s other works downloaded or saved somewhere? As far as I’m aware they’ve deleted most of their work + their account as well, and I’m really really really desperate to read the others now 🥺 please please please you guys have no idea how long I’ve been craving a Morston fic JUST like this

[fiiiiin]

Why did I only JUST learn that “Everyone thinks you’re Dutch’s pet” IS ACTUALLY CANON???? And up until this point I thought it was just a fucking fan trope because of course John is Dutch’s favorite dog; the way Bill literally says this to him in camp got me ashdkfklskalajsksb

It’s not even Arthur’s death itself in Red Dead that deeply saddens me; it’s the aftermath of his death and John’s story that makes me grieve so. It’s the fact that the splintering of the gang and the death of a friend leaves one man so lost and sad and confused, one man who barely knew how to survive WITH a band of brothers, much less without. Arthur dies, gang falls apart, sure whatever. It’s the fact that the story doesn’t quite end there, and the legacy of this impactful man continues on, and you continue exploring a world distinctly noticing the lack of a very certain presence. The fact that JOHN continues to live with a noticeable hole in his heart, that Arthur is EVERYWHERE even when he isn’t, and we have to witness one man navigate that loss and transition. Of all the songs that trigger a deep sense of bittersweet sadness in me, Cruel World hits the deepest. My eyes tear up just listening to it and thinking about little Johnny Marston, all out of sorts and departing to strike out on his own because he really doesn’t have a choice.

Inception girlies you will be happy to hear that I am BACK. I rewatched the movie today and realized that I had completely forgotten just how babygirl Joseph Gordon Levitt is in it and just how married/divorced/whatever the fuck Arthur and Eames are.

But as most of my earliest followers will know, my return to the fandom will always be inevitable. I have pockets of various other hyperfixations throughout the years but at the end of the day time and time again I return to them without fail <3 they’ve been IT for me since 2018 and no amount of fandoms will ever tear me away from Arthur and Eames

There are obviously so many moments in Red Dead where you kind of just sit in astonishment at the, mildly speaking, insane attention to detail Rockstar had in making this game, but here’s a super niche one I experienced that I haven’t heard other people mention yet:

You know how you can choose to surrender to the law when there’s a bounty on your head, and you just go to jail for a hot second? And some of you are probably aware that the ensuing cutscene can either be Arthur spending a night in prison and then leaving the jailhouse having paid off his own bounty, or either Dutch or Hosea arriving and bailing him out.

This one time I surrendered and was brought to the Saint Denis jail, and Hosea is the one who arrived and bailed me out. After the cutscene, we both mount our horses and Hosea starts trotting away. I tried to follow him to see if they’ll have him ride all the way back to camp, but I accidentally committed another crime (maybe trampled over someone? Don’t really remember) and suddenly the law was all over me once again. Here’s the cool part: usually you have to deal with them on your own (shoot or surrender or run), but since Hosea was right beside me, he rode WITH me as I ran and shot back at the law shooting at me. At some point I dismounted and engaged in a full on gun fight with them, and Hosea did the same, hiding behind carriages and shooting at the police and whatnot.

It’s like, in no other scenario would I have a gang member ally in one of the unscripted open world encounters, and yet they’ve made it so that in the off chance it does happen, your ally is realistically your ally. Rockstar had the forethought to make even the most niche and obscure experiences be realistic and true to the characters.

How did you guys get RDR2 out of your system. Like how did you do it. I finished the game a few months ago and it still haunts me every day. I have a flourishing real life but just the mere thought of this game distracts me from reality and makes me all depression mode again. Please suggest ways of getting this goddamn thing OUT OF MY HEAD.

Hosea Matthews is so mother

It’s Phoenix and Hangman!!

Remember when Micah tries to plant the idea in Arthur’s head that John is turning on Dutch…and Arthur’s only response is that he’s known John for 15 years and he would never…yea I love pairings with history I love Arthur’s unflappability I love his faith in John because 15 years is a LONG time to know somebody and yes it’s canon they grew up together but just little in-game reminders of their long standing relationship (as rocky as it may have been at times) make me so giddy

[fiiiiin]

Now that I think about it, you know what this also is giving? It’s giving “I can bully my younger brother all I want but God help anybody else who tries to do the same.” Because Arthur has his quarrels with John and will not hold back to his face, but he’s also the first to jump to his defense when anyone else (Micah especially) tries to badmouth John. And Arthur WILL fuck up anyone who tries.
