Do y’all ever wonder if Dutch and Hosea knew they were going to raise an absolute UNIT like Arthur? Like he was once a skinny and rambunctious 14 year old street orphan and they took a chance on him and fed him as he grew into a fucking BEAST who is arguably bulkier than the two of them combined, and has become the main brawn of the gang.

This is basically just an Arthur Physique appreciation post but GOD DAMN.

Whenever nobody else posts about Vandermatthews, I know @roamingtigress will.

Don’t know what I did to get on the Jovier side of Tumblr but I forgot how much I love this ship and you little freaks. Keep it up 💗

Vandermatthews Tidbit

I can’t think of what else to call them, but sometimes I get singular scenes in my mind that SOMETIMES lead to a fanfic down the road but I NEED to get this out of my system, so here you go, here’s a little tidbit.

Dutch looked up at Hosea from his spot with his chin on Hosea’s chest. His hand gently stroked down his ribs, delicately feeling every ridge beneath his skin. His skin was soft and untouched by the furious sun, save for the occasional rough threading of a marred scar. That was the ruining of both of their bodies and their souls, scars. Though brought upon themselves through the lifestyle they chose for their freedom, freedom had a price.

“I love you.” Dutch said, breaking the silence.

“I know.” Hosea replied sweetly but playfully condescending.

Dutch sighed at his response and ran his hand up past his pectoral reaching for his clavicle, “You mean the world to me.” He said, thumbing his chest. “So it seems.” Hosea responded slyly.

“You’re not very nice to me!” Dutch complained in a louder tone than the previous words of affirmation. “You deserve it.” Hosea smiled playfully and swiped the tip of Dutch’s nose with his index finger.

In my court, this season I have noticed truly who is locked in on writing good Vandermatthews fanfictions and who REALLY isn’t trying… I hate to let my weaknesses show on such a royal platform as this but our standards are SLIPPING. I expect better from those who are falling in between the cracks… As for my loyal and wonderful members of my writing halls and art departments, I salute you as always, soldiers.

As for the rest of you… I expect better of you, Vandermatthews nation… We’ll be in touch…

VANDERMATTHEWS

[dreary-robot]

Sleep paralysis, I sworn I could have felt you there And I almost could have kissed your hair

finally drew this idea i had abt hosea haunting dutch as like a younger version of himself. is it really him there, or is it just dutch going crazy, imagining an idealized version of his lover? i'm having too much writer's block to actually write this, so have a drawing instead lol

the lyrics are from adrianne lenker's zombie girl! i was debating between lyrics from zombie girl or my angel tbh but zombie girl i think fits the best

[outlawruben]

OH MY GOOOOODDDDD

[outlawruben]

Y’all have no idea the sheer amount of vandermatthews mini comics, fanfic, and fanart I make in my head.

[roamingtigress]

I need to know why you put Dutch in such silly hats, I find it quite charming but how do you acquire such hats, or do they just spawn in? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS

Thank you so much! I use Fortitude but I believe you can also do the same with Rampage.

[outlawruben]

Does he like these hats? As you are the Dutch expert…

[outlawruben]

Dutch and Hosea if they were totally gay and into each other

Dutch and Hosea if they started a biker gang (semi modern AU)

[onfloatingbodies]

God-ish

[outlawruben]

GODDAMN!

[outlawruben]

I love Charthur cause I love the idea of two beefy men touching on each other. That’s it, send post.

Dutch was the one who’d get himself into trouble in their younger days, and he learned to speak with polish thanks to Hosea—that’s a fine headcanon. BUT, there’s nothing more delightful than imagining Hosea riling up some drunkard or swindler just to throw Dutch into a brawl on his behalf.

Just picture this:

Stranger: You lookin’ to tussle, boy? ‘Cause that’s what I reckon.

Hosea: Why, of course I am, you half-witted barrel of spoiled lard.

Hosea: But I’ll tell you what—my companion here—grabs Dutch by the arm—could thrash you with but one hand tied behind his back.

Dutch: What in blazes are you doin’? (whispers)

Hosea: Let’s make it interesting. Fifty dollars says he’ll knock you flat.

Dutch: Hosea, that’s all the coin we’ve got for supper. (nervous whisper)

Hosea: Hush now.

Hosea: What say you, gentleman?

Stranger: After that mouthful, I’d say it’s fair to wallop your friend and walk off with fifty dollars.

Dutch: I swear on my grave, Matthews—I’m gonna kill you.
