attackdog puppyplay where I rip your enemies to bloody pieces and then lay my head in your lap to hear âattaboyâ and feel fingers in my sweaty, bloody hair
cracks my knuckles okay kids walk with me. kieran lives but loses his eyes au. red angry irritated skin pulled too tight and raised scars and one eye just gone and the other scarred and grey and unmoving. but in camp
and jack is absolutely terrified because he is a kid. sure he saw his pa attacked by wolves and covered in bloody bandages but then john healed and had scars but still looks like his pa. kieran. does not look like kieran anymore.
hiding behind corners staring at kieran because he's a terrified kid trying to figure it out
and kieran, too gentle for his own good, offers a smile. kneels down. asks if jack wants to touch his face.
jack, horrified, because his ma would be furious if she knew he was staring. too curious for his own good. carefully touching kieran's face. a tiny gasp. it's rough. kieran chuckles. yeah. just rough skin.
jack staring at that strange, milky grey eye, and asks if kieran can see. kieran asks jack to hold up a few fingers. jack does. kieran looks, tries to focus, and shakes his head. he can't tell how many fingers he has. gently lifts up jack's arms. but he can see that jack has two arms. and a nose somewhere in the middle of his face. and jack giggles.
kieran asks if jack can help him find something - a brush that's been misplaced. jack lights up immediately. and that's how kieran got his best little helper ever
surprise Iâm not dead but I did just finish undead nightmare no one warned me Abigail and Jack have visible rope burn so just wanted to let everyone know Jack has scars on his wrists and ankles from rope burn in timewarp au and he is very obviously distressed/irritated by people grabbing his wrist because memory of pain and the only person who is allowed to hold his wrist is Isaac and sometimes Isaac just does to remind Jack things can be soft and gentle and warm instead of aching
Dr. Alan Hart helped pioneer the use of chest X-rays to diagnose tuberculosis. Hart was married to a woman and practicing medicine in San Francisco in 1918 when he was outed as a trans man by a former colleague. Dr. Hart was chased out of town on the back of headlines like âGirl Poses as Male Doctor in Hospital" (he was not posing, of course) and spent much of his life moving from town to town to escape various forms of transphobia. Hart was also a novelist, and wrote of one of his characters, "When it came to outrunning gossip he found he couldn't do it," which was Hart's experience as wellâhe moved seven times in nine years all around the U.S. in search of safety, but it always proved fleeting. He did manage to get a graduate degree in radiology, though, and helped show how chest X-rays could show very early signs of tuberculosis, thus allowing patients the opportunity to rest and get adequate nutrition sooner, which contributed to better outcomes. Chest X-rays continue to be an essential diagnostic tool; mobile chest X-ray machines that can be carried via backpack now serve rural communities, so Hart's popularization of this diagnostic method continues to save lives.
whenever i see like clickbait rdr2 content thats like âyou can hear kieran being tortured around camp in chapter fourâ i have to bite my tongue and remember i hate commenting on posts i dont know but in any case. its not kieran.
ITS GHOSTS!!!!! PLEASSEEEEE HEAR MY THEORY THERES GHOSTS IN SHADY BELLE AND BEAVER HOLLOW ITS NOT KIERAN BEING TORTURED OR WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!! THEM CAMPS ARE HAUNTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so hosea was always in a love triangle torn between bessie and dutch. deeply, deeply, wholly in love with bessie. drawn to the melodrama of being with dutch, the adrenaline of being a conman and a thief. and for a while, he got them both: when bessie would visit them in small towns they were casing out before a score, when dutch was allowed to come over for tenuous dinners at bessie's.
slowly, hosea realised he loved bessie more. and it broke his heart a little more every time bessie asked him to stay, to leave dutch behind. and hosea was realising he needed her more than dutch, no matter how many times dutch tried to make their lives more enticing, more idealistic.
dutch was constantly one-upping bessie to prove he could be everything hosea needed. hosea mentions bessie got a new dress, dutch suddenly needs a new vest. bessie doesn't like him drinking, dutch buys him nice scotch.
so when bessie found out she was infertile, suddenly dutch had the idea to make something of a orphaned street boy they caught stealing. every visit, bessie would still ask him to stay. by the time hosea wanted to stay, when he was ready to settle down, stay with her forever - he couldn't, because he had to be there to protect arthur from the same pragmatism that almost drowned him
I now have a double pronged question for you regarding the Micah Bell phone call ask
1. How did Micah act as far as calling Bessie (and by proxy Hosea) during their last days? How did he feel when he knew his support (both physical and emotional) was going away? And how did he cope during the funeral and afterwards?
2. Hypothetically what would it be like if the other âvillainsâ timewarped? Not Colm because that has already been discussed but Milton, and Cornwall, and Bronte and all of the gunslingers (actually I think I submitted a different ask for them) and even possibly the Grays and Braithwaites (not all of them obviously but the mother and sheriff) and maybe by extension their hidden shames/secrets (the Gray suicide and Gertrude, maybe a possibility of them ending up in the same psych ward as Dutch and Arthur recognizing them?)
Wow havenât had this long of an ask in a while, have fun! :]
^ straight from the funeral btw. he wore his shitty god guns and gay sex tank top
micah was, honestly, the one who kept in contact with bessie the most in her final days. where most were calling less, because they knew she didn't really have the strength, micah still called. because he still can't work the oven. or the toilet wasn't working. or his neighbours were bitching about baymax shitting on their lawn (micah was actually moving the dog poo there so he didn't have pick it up)
bessie adored him for it. she really didn't have to talk (and barely could), but micah just needed to rant to her. it felt normal. some of her fondest memories in her final days was listening to micah just complain and exist in his own peculiar way
in the time between kieran/javier finding them dead to alerting the rest of the gang, bessie has 7 missed calls from micah. even hosea had 2, because micah was trying to call him to ask why bessie wasn't answering.
micah knew they weren't doing well, but he was in deep, deep denial about how bad. their deaths shocked everyone, but micah was hit hard. a few people tried to reach out, yknow, just being polite, checking in on everyone. bill. javier. micah told them all to fuck off, because he was fine. shit happens. they know this. ain't the first time any of them have seen a corpse
micah actually asked arthur if he could go to the viewing. because he needed to see it for himself that they were dead. and it was the first time arthur realises that 'shit, micah did actually care about them'. it was the only thing micah said at the funeral - asking if he could go to the much smaller, private viewing. the entire procession, the burial, he sat there, completely silent, white knuckle grip on his dog's leash
the worst part was micah had never mourned before. when his mother died, his father was there to beat the message that boys don't cry into him. when his father died, micah was relieved. the closest thing he had to mourning was trying to reach out to amos only to be told to fuck off, but at least amos was alive and by all accounts living his best life with his wife and children. bessie and hosea were the first people he grieved for, and he did not know how to cope with those feelings
if charles hadn't guilt tripped arthur into checking on micah a few days later with 'bessie would've wanted someone to check on him', micah would probably be dead.
when arthur got there, micah was drunk, unfunnily drunk, and had been for days. micah starts up like normal, grumbling, bitching about the stove, that the window was stuck and he was out of cash (but not booze).
and then, all at once, micah bell the third started to cry. hard. angry at first, but then only sobbing. because he still can't work the oven. and there was no one he could call to tell him how
arthur had to sit next to him. that was all he could really do. sat next to him, and waited, and eventually when micah was calm enough to actually hear him he said he could call him. when he needed help - with stuff.
and then, as years passed - micah and arthur ended up being the most tentative of friends. micah called. a lot. mostly to complain about 'morgan, get over here and fix my goddamned grill'. and arthur would always turn up. and eventually enough stuff was fixed that when micah called he couldn't pretend it wasn't just for - human contact. and they'd very awkwardly talk about their days. and slowly, micah inched up the list of people arthur thought of when there was leftovers to hand out, or someone to invite when they arranged something
if being timewarped neutered micah, losing bessie really did break something in him. like it finally clicked that the gang were actually people, that he had actually grown attached to, and one day, he would actually lose them. especially if he kept being an ass
and i will hit the text limit if i try to answer the rest so part 2
i thought about this too hard because if milton timewarped, he would probably find a way to become a cop again. in the beautiful utopia of timewarp, his corrupted absolution would quickly result in him being arrested for police brutality and he would be the one rotting in jail
but i actually think milton's overconfidence would result in him telling the wrong person about time travel and being institutionalized for it. maybe the same in-patient facility as dutch. and maybe they get to continue their feud under the supervision of trained medical staff, and that would be beautiful. forced to play board games together during group. they'd actually be an intellectual match
cornwall would end up living out of a motorhome, never able to find more than a minimum wage position because he doesn't have any actual life skills other than throwing money around. the irony is he lives in a tiny dying oil town named after him
all of the gunslingers straight to jail. except black belle, who would become something like uncle is to the marstons but for grimshaw and annabelle. except she is beloved and very charming despite being a retired gunslinger who likes drinking and talks with a little too much smack.
there is enough suffering in the world without the greys and braithwaites returning, but i will say that their descendants are actually very sweet. if catherine timewarped she would've seen her mansion's ground as a small, lower class, racially diverse suburb of saint denis and immediately had a heart attack and died again.
if gertrude timewarped she would end up in state care. poor woman had no opportunities to learn to care for herself and was more than half feral. she would end up living with a lovely retired couple who never had any children of their own and were happy to support and encourage her development, despite some scars never quite healing. her and kieran would've bumped into each other in like an adult learning support group and been friends, never realizing they were both timewarpers.
as it (more often than not) is, beau and penelope were not the first or last free thinkers in their families. only a generation later, one of beau's nieces was putting up with her broke, drunk father, and caught him accidentally slip. beau is, not was, a traitor. immediately, she started searching, and sure enough was able to get in contact with beau and penelope, who were happily married and gaining a reputation amongst civil rights activists as the cool older protesters who gave the youth great tips about not talking to cops and brought snacks to rallies.
the niece told her cousin, who told their cousin, so on and so on until there was a very clear division amongst both the grey and braithwaite households - the old racists slowly killing themselves with sorosis and the woke kids who catch the train to see auntie penny and uncle beau on the holidays.
by the time timewarp happens, the braithwaites are forgotten by all but historians. the grey name lives on, not in their land, or wealth, but in how notorious beau and penelope were a civil rights activists (penelope chose to take beau's name as a way to escape her own, and beau kept his as a way to redeem it). while beau and penelope had both passed away of old age, fate determined arthur would run into their grandchildren.
arthur ended up helping beau and penelope's descendents find gertrude's remains, which were still trapped in the shed, after they found gertrude's birth certificate but no records of her life beyond that. in a short press release that would've had catherine turning in her grave, the modern day grey-braithwaites used the atrocity of gertrude's treatment and her ceremonious burial to advocate for more funding and support services for people with disabilities. arthur knew beau and penelope would've been so proud
