Unhinged and Unwell

RDR exclusive. She/her. Henri for short.

Rdr2 must be a brain eating amoeba bc since consuming this media I have been unable to think of almost anything else

[henrivanderlinde]

Half of my brain has rotted into boggy entrails while I carefully replace each wrinkle of my grey matter with video game cowboys.

dutch robbing the trolley station 🚎❤️🖤

entirely crosshatched in pen. 26 november 2023. this is technically a re-draw of a picture i did way back on the 29th of november 2019! if i've figured out how to format the post correctly, the old drawing will be underneath the "keep reading" cut, if you're interested. it's dated and a little sloppy, be kind... ˃ ⤙ ˂

happy with how my art has progressed.

[eldritch-bf]

Actually I don’t want a RDR1 remaster simply because if I see 1911 Dutch van der Linde in updated graphics with that gray hair and his shirt popped open like the slut he is I will literally become deceased.

BEGINNING

[cowboyfromh3ll]

Henlo! If it's alright, could I request some headcanons for Arthur, Dutch, Hosea, Micah, and Kieran being told that their S/O has been killed by the O'Driscolls? But nobody can find their body because it turns out they survived and took care of the worst of their injuries before making it back a week or so later. I am a sucker for hurt/comfort content. Thank you for your time and hope you're doing well.

HC For VDL Boys Being Told Their S/O Was Killed By O'Driscolls Ft. Arthur Morgan, Dutch Van Der Linde, Hosea Matthews, Micah Bell, Kieran Duffy

Ohhh nice and angsty

Warnings: Mentions of death, mentions of violence, angst

Arthur Morgan

He would be absolutely broken

I don't think he'd go as far as to go out and kill O'Driscolls for revenge

But a new cavity in his heart would open up, and his hatred of the O'Driscolls would intensify

He wouldn't be able to get out of bed, would be incapable of taking care of himself, needs people to remind him to eat

Constantly scribbling in his journal about you

Probably the first time anyone in camp has seen him cry in a long long time

Only thing he'd get up for was to go in searches for your body

Is incredibly anxious the entire time they're looking for you and tries to mentally prepare himself for the sight of your body in who knows what state of decomposition

Once you return he'd think you're an apparition

He would be absolutely over the moon and crying tears of joy and relief

Interrogates you about your time gone but doesn't push it if the memories are too painful, you can visit that later

Helps mend any of your remaining injuries

Incredibly protective of you now and refused to let you go off on your own for a while

Holds you so so closely in bed the following nights, absolutely blots out the rest of the world with his body because he's scared if he lets go you'll disappear again

Dutch Van Der Linde

Like Arthur, he'd be destroyed as well

His mourning would cause him to jump to the anger stage immediately

Colm has already taken one lover from him, and now he's done it again? Tensions between the two gangs would be higher than ever before

He'd use the presumed death as an excuse to target Colm and the O'Driscolls for the week

Used the search for your body as an opportunity to interrogate and torture O'Driscolls. For once, he tells Arthur to back off so he can get blood on his hands

Despite everyone else's warnings, he just keeps on going and killing more O'Driscolls

When you finally return, he feels like he's hallucinating you because of his grief, and anger

Allows everyone else a moment to check over you before ushering you over to the privacy of his tent

Allows Ms. Grimshaw to follow so she can clean you up while he talks to you

Holds your hand the entire time and looks into your eyes while reassuring you that he'll never allow that to happen again

Insists you don't lift a finger for weeks afterward

Does NOT tell you about what he did while you were gone and simply speaks of his grief and his now relief that you're back

Hosea Matthews

He'd be grieving, but silently

He wouldn't be MIA like Arthur, and he definitely wouldn't be blinded by rage like Dutch

But he'd be a lot quieter, understandably, and you'd be able to see the deep sadness in his eyes

He didn't expect to lose a second lover, and his heart is heavy with feelings of loss

Would spend a lot of time talking about you to anyone who'll listen, mostly good memories

Turns down any of Dutch's suggestions to go out and take revenge, sees right through his attempts to use your presumed death as an excuse to kill a bunch of O'Driscolls

When you return he is all over you and is overjoyed by your presence

Takes care of all your injuries on his own and holds you sooo close the entire time

Reminds you how much he loves you because he feels like he didn't do it enough before he thought he lost you

Spends so much more time around you. If he wasn't attached to you by the hip before, he definitely is now

I don't think he'd doubt your ability to handle yourself; in fact, it'd probably be enforced by the fact you kept yourself alive for a week. But there'd be a lingering anxiety every time you go out

Micah Bell

Similar to Dutch, he'd go out and kill a shit ton of O'Driscolls

His grief translates to anger, and because I can't see him as a very sentimental person besides in terms of anger, that's the only way he'd express it

Probably wouldn't cry or show moments of vulnerability, but he'd be a lot more brutal in his killings

He'd spend a lot of time away from camp with Dutch probably looking for your body

Wouldn't return to camp for days

So you'd probably return to camp while he's gone, so everyone else tends to you before Micah can

When he returns he insists everyone else get away from you so he can take his own look at you

I wanna say you wouldn't receive a big welcome back gesture from Micah besides a rare shred of vulnerability where he tells you how happy he is to see you back

Don't get too mushy over it or else he'll backtrack

Kieran Duffy

He'd be HYSTERICAL

On his knees crying and wailing in the middle of camp while people try to comfort him

Would be the same level as MIA as Arthur and wouldn't talk to ANYONE

Spends all his time around the horses and doesn't talk to anyone

If anyone does try to talk to him he just stares off silently in the opposite direction

The gang could probably hear him sobbing silently at night while trying to sleep

Drinks himself half dead because he doesn't know how else to cope

Drinks so often that when you come back he doesn't think you're real for a few minutes

It's a huge moment of vulnerability between the two of you where you see each other at your lowest

But it would definitely bring the two of you closer! After the two of you have cleaned yourselves up and taken care of yourselves, you'd have long, deep conversations about what you went through and how happy you are to be back

Lots of reaffirming his love for you, never leaves your side

Insists he comes with you every time you go out. Thinks he wouldn't be able to do much in terms of protecting you, but the sentiment is so so sweet

Becomes more of a way of comforting himself and quelling his own anxiety

[eldritch-bf]

RDR1/2 is so overtly critical of the State, of professional police, of southern pride, of indigenous genocide, and so so much else; Dutch’s official description literally calls him anarchic and says he’s unraveling now because the modern world is approaching. he’s realizing there’s no where left to run, that his dream of a less cruel world will never happen, because the paradigm shift to a new world built on everything he’s fought against all these years is inevitable.

Arthur and John and no safety net. They were poor and lost their families and were alone and forsaken and picked up by a gang to do what they had to survive. And if a supposedly vicious criminal like Dutch was more kind to them than the State or the orphanages or the community or any people that should have helped them, then who do they learn is the evil one?

And John. The new professional policing force kidnapping his wife and son, to make him kill men for them, while telling him killing is wrong, just so they can exert total control over the population, and he does these things for them, he reforms himself, has reformed himself for years, plays by their rules now, saves countless peoples lives, and in the end, they still come back and murder him, both because there is no forgiveness in the policing force and the State, and also because they have no problem killing good people because they do it all the time.

And so much of this commentary is lost because the sometimes we zoom to close and focus on the details of the story and not what it’s saying and it breaks me apart.

[queen-diamond-serenity]

I found this quite satisfying to read

The biggest problem I've always had with this community who's against Dutch is that they never tried to look at it from his side of the fence. Like I said before Dutch has his faults but he's not the only one with them.
