another art dump but instead its mostly dutch bcuz for some reason he's so fun to draw???? this is also mostly younger dutch first two pics is dutch and hosea bcuz vandermatthews is taking over my life

I literally can't NOT view Hosea and Dutch's belongings as something they had given to each other because they saw it and were like "this reminded me of you" or "I saw it and knew you'd certainly love it". The smallest of items and they literally cannot help themselves.

Hosea's green / red scarf he has? Dutch gave it to him, said he thought he'd like it and he was 100% correct. This goes along with his red handkerchief he ties around his neck. Each were given in his mid 30s.

That hat Dutch has? Yeah. Hosea had conveniently bought it( he stole it for Dutch—) because he knew that was Dutch's style. He had given it to him in his late 20s.

This goes for mundane stuff too btw, could literally be a blanket or rug, maybe a jacket, or a item of jewelry they had " found".

And Hosea gifting him rings bcs he knew how much he loved having them, when they were younger..... Lives rent free in my head... he was courting him ... ..

young hosea and dutch is hosea teaching him how to properly fight and lecturing his stance and guard while he forces him down—> "and what will you do if that ain't gonna work?"

"I won't have to worry cause I know you'll always be there to save me" ...

Achilles, come down.. but it's Dutch and Hosea.. and specifically these lines::

"The self is not so weightless, not whole and unbroken, remember the pact of our youth.

Where you go, I'm going.

So jump and I'm jumping,

Since there is no me without You."

This could either be the younger years of Dutch pulling Hosea out of his darker days hidden in alcohol and grievances. Or, Hosea talking to 1907 Dutch and that's.. that's all I am saying ......(correction:: an au where hosea lives ))

OK I lied.

"Loathe the way they light candles in Rome,

But love the sweet air of the votives.

Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone,

engage with the pain as a motive."

Hosea reminding Dutch that living can be beautiful and life is beautiful, it's there, he just has to let himself feel it. Let himself experience as hosea had so many years ago when he'd chanced on a dark haired young man out in the sandy roads to California.

"And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it, do not waste yourself on this roof.

Hear those bells ring deep in the soul,

Chiming away for a moment.

Feel your breath course frankly below,

And see life as a worthy opponent."

*sobs disgustingly about how that could be Hosea pleading silently for Dutch to listen, hear him, hear himself, and feel his beating heart that'll remind him of Hosea's. And how they felt together. As one. *

AND THE SEQUENCE WHERE THE TWO VOICES START DANCING BETWEEN... THE NEGATIVE ONE IS DUTCH'S MIND.. AND THE POSITIVE ONE IS HOSEA..... OK THAT'S ALL..

what do you think would be vandermatthew's favorite song to dance to?

Okay, so- The ones that I COULD find, and thought would be their style ;

Charles K. Harris — After The Ball (Late 1800s )

Michael William Balfe(? ) — Then You'll Remember Me from 'The Bohemian Girl' (1843)

John McCormack — Come Into The Garden, Maud (Late 1800s )

I know songs could have a singular meaning, depending on which, but I mostly find that the feel of these is what would make me think they might dance to them!! I wassss contemplating adding Daisy Bell but the tone always gave me the chills for whatever reason (still a very lovely tune nonetheless lmao )
