i gotta ramble about Morston for a second. so i played rdr2 a little after it released and didn't interact at all with any fandom content until recently. but i just knew Morston was THE SHIP™ for not only Arthur and John, but RDR2 as a whole.

the whiplash i got when it turned out that Morston is not in fact the most popular ship, but the ship that's kinda "normal" to shit on?

like i thought the two that have known each other for ~15 years, the two that bicker like an old married couple at every chance, the two who share the same trauma of orphaned street kid groomed into killers by a cult leader, the two that stand together when everything falls apart, who in a final act of love one gives their life so the other can escape, would be THE ship.

i'm sorry??? sacrificing your life in an attempt to buy a little time for the other is not the most romantic gesture?? and John going after Micah to avenge Arthur's death, years later bc apparently Arthur is a wound that still hasn't healed is not romantic as fuck??? despite having a wife, son, and ranch.

like is there any other reason besides "tHeY'rE liTeRaLlY bRoThErS" and a 10 year age gap in 1899?? i really thought R* made the perfect storm for a beautiful and tragic ship with them. :(

as soon as John is back on his feet, he's asking Arthur to do a job with him. he gives a cute little uwu when he's praised. Arthur throws in a jab and they both laugh it off. UGH.

when Cornwall's men have a knife to John, he doesn't flinch, he doesn't even blink. he looks at Arthur and fucking knows Arthur's going to save him. wholly trusting someone with your life like that is not romantic??

i love the missions when Arthur and Sadie are prepping to break John out of Sisika. Arthur gets in a goddamn balloon just to catch a glimpse of Johnny. yeah yeah it was to make sure he was there. but was it not an incredibly reckless/dangerous thing to do? fly a balloon over a penitentiary full of armed guards??

the way Arthur says "Quickly followed by Marston!" when Sadie was talking of Colm's hanging. oh my goddd he loves that boy

how softly Arthur says John when he finally sees him in his prison stripes.

the fact that John was the reason Arthur finally defied one of Dutch's orders. the "I felt different". he didn't even let Dutch finish scolding him before cutting him off. and he felt different. idk he could have said thought instead of felt. but there was no thinking with it. he knew he had to go get John.

i don't get it!! how are they not THE SHIP™??

anyway. if u made it this far, i'm so sorry u read all that lmao what made u ship Morston tho?? for me it was when Arthur threw John over his shoulder like he was a sack of potatoes u//w//u i knew it was over for me. then that damn sheep herding mission. sunshine. fucking kill me.

“your underwear is inside out”

The closet door is open again! But why is the mysterious black wall still here blocking me from going inside?!

Seeing everyone on the internet, supportive allies or hateful billionaires who apparently have nothing better to do, equate 'asexual' with 'doesnt want to have sex' is just... Okay. So it's over. There was probably never a chance for this sexuality to be understood, but that hope is DEAD dead.
