I’ve written something like this before, but I wanted to write it again since I’m rewatching RDR1 on YouTube. The Mexico arc in the game is one of my favorite depictions of a political struggle, mainly because it doesn’t shy away from how complicated politics can be. I feel like a great deal of fiction tends to go for a more black-and-white, hero against the villain narrative. The empire is bad, the rebels are good, and so on. But RDR1 really went into depth on how politics can be so confusing and complicated in real life.

The game has a basic set-up: the government led by Colonel Allende is terrorizing the people, leading to a rebellion led by Abraham Reyes. Allende spreads propaganda about how evil Reyes is but the people believe that Reyes is their savior. At this point, the game could’ve just done the simple route of making Reyes the clear-cut good guy and Allende the clear-cut bad guy. Instead, we’re forced to really ponder which side is worth supporting.

Obviously, Allende is evil and does need to be taken down. But Reyes is revealed to be just as bad as him. For example, he is casually revealed to be bigoted towards Chinese immigrants. Luisa says that Allende abuses women, but Reyes also sees women as disposable and would probably continue Allende’s abusive practices if he was in power.

But the biggest point that I give Rockstar credit for is that they created bad guys who had a legitimately good point about the rebels who we’re supposed to root for. Although it’s easy to sympathize with the rebels wanting to take the government down, the government is justified in claiming the rebels were brainwashed into supporting an evil man. From the moment John Marston met Abraham Reyes, he immediately realized that Reyes was exactly how Allende and De Santa described him as. He’s ignorant, moronic, power-hungry, and he views himself as being higher than the peasants despite presenting himself as a champion of the people. But no one else picked up on this! So, you really can’t argue against De Santa and Allende on this, especially since Reyes ends up becoming a tyrant in the future.

In going through this storyline again, I’ve also developed a new perspective on Luisa Fortuna. She was the one character who legitimately cared for the rights of the Mexican people and was fighting to end tyranny. But knowing how obviously terrible Abraham Reyes is as a character (he even gets Luisa’s name wrong right in front of her), it’s hard not to see Luisa as anything but an incredibly naive woman who got manipulated by an idiot. She isn’t really that much different from how devoted De Santa was to Allende’s regime. They were both passionate to their respective causes, but their passion blinded them to how awful their leaders were.

And then to have the storyline end with the message that the cycle of oppression will repeat but with Abraham Reyes in charge? Incredibly dark, but fitting for the story.

Go play RDR1 if you haven’t done so already. This was only one act out of a total of three acts in the story. And all the acts are strongly written in their own way.

O' Christmas Tree - John Marston x Reader

Plot: John is struggling to put the Christmas tree up while you sort through decorations.

Word Count: 505

Warnings: None, just a cute fluffy John Marston fic.

Going through the boxes that John dug out of the storage, you giggled when you heard his annoyed groans.

"It's not funny," he huffed "This stupid tree won't stay upright!" he exclaimed. "But I thought you wanted a tree?" you asked, getting up from the couch and making your way over to him. "I did," he said, "But I didn't think it would be this much work!"

"Aw, the big brave John Marston is losing to a tree," you say, giving him a mocking pout. He knows you're joking, but he still gives you a little glare. "Come on," you say, going over to the tree that was propped up on the wall.

You held the tree up and stuck it perfectly in its iron tree stand that John got at the general store. It was a newer invention, but it worked nonetheless. "There," you said, taking a step back, the tree was placed up, "that wasn't hard at all," you said. John groaned "Of course you get it placed correctly." You giggled and wrapped your arms around his neck, peppering his face with kisses.

"I found some of the old Christmas decorations from last year," you said, going over to the box on the couch. You pulled out old garlind that you made in a popcorn, cranberry pattern and draped it around the tree. The branches were fluffy and produring upwards but once you and John put the rest of the garland and some candles on the tree, it was coming along. The candles weren't lit, since it could cause a fire, but it was pretty to look at.

"Well, Mr. Marston, I think this tree is our best one yet," you said, hooking your arm around his and putting your head on his shoulder.

It was simple and small, yet being here with John made it seem much more bigger.

You went into the kitchen and leaned into the fireplace to check on the gingerbread cookies that were in the shapes of different animals. You took them out once you realized they were baked enough and set them on the table. John came in and sniffed them "They smell amazing," he said, picking one up but immediately setting it back down with a hiss of pain.

"Careful!" You exclaim, "They just came out."

Carefully placing the cookies on a seperate plate, you ushered John out of the room so he wouldn't be tempted to eat them. John chuckled at your antics, you've always had to save him; from that time on the mountain, to busting him out of the Sisika Penitentiary.

John pulled you over to the couch and you fell on it beside him, putting your head on his shoulder and draping a blanket over the two of you. He stroked your hair, something he always did and something you hoped he would never stop doing. You admired the tree from the couch, it looked a mess, much like John you may add, but you loved it and him both the same.
