thinking about the world in which the marstons were a family of four. a small girl’s laughter echoing around the ranch as jack gallops around with her up on his shoulders. quiet falling when, later, she’s leaning against the fence with uncle, her head on his arm while they sleep in the afternoon sun.
abigail cheering happily when they make dinner together for the first time. john joking that he now knows the two most badass ladies in the world. jack teaching her how to read, because abigail doesn’t want her to be like her
and john getting to see all the milestones he missed with jack, which leaves him feeling terribly bittersweet
Artha Elizabeth Marston, born 1901. Nicknamed Beth, she was conceived by accident at a time when no children should be born. Her first 6 years of life were defined by instability and constant trouble that her father could not help but find.
At 10 years old, Beth is wild and short-tempered. It's a rarity to see her with shoes, clean clothes, and neat hair all at once. Loves to run, jump, and climb everything in her vicinity; "You must have bones of iron because it's a damn miracle you haven't broken one," her mother says.
Talkative and eager to learn, she's drawn to horses, but isn't good at riding; in spite of that, she's up for the challenge. Unlike her brother Jack, she hopes to run Beecher's Hope one day in their father's stead.
life at the ranch is good for three years...
but then comes the dreaded ending of rdr1. now, what is the marston siblings' plan?
the way john changed because of his love for abigail and jack kills me so much, he's grown up so much from that man who abandoned his family for a year and neglected his son so bad he even refused to admit that he was his son, to a man who loves and cares for his family so much that he'll go through hell to protect them
"we need more complex female characters," you guys can't handle molly o'shea, mary gillis, abigail roberts, sadie adler, tilly jackson, marybeth gaskill, karen jones or susan grimshaw.
john marston is stronger than me fr because if my brother got tuberculosis and i heard someone calling him "black lung" i would have immediately put so many holes in the bastard you could play harmonica with his dead body
arthur's college girl drunksona is so fucking funny. A++++ to rockstar. imagine you're new to the gang and here is big bad gang enforcer arthur morgan, dutch's number one tank and intimidator in chief, bone breaker and known kill on sight terror in multiple states. this guy breathes gunsmoke, threatens to gut people in their sleep like it's nothing, and keeps a bunch of murdering criminals in line. and whenever the subject of drinking comes up, everybody in camp talks in whispers, concern, and disapproval about how this guy gets when he's had too many. thank god he's given that up. because he is unmanageable. a disaster. everyone KNOWS how he gets. and you DON'T want to see it, that's a fact
and then there's some trouble in the valentine saloon with lenny, dutch says they ought to be back by now, "arthur's probably in a state." so they send you in to collect. and you know it must be bad. you've heard the stories about morgan and liquor. you figure it's bloodshed and pandemonium in there, no question. you have no idea how you're going to take this mean son of a bitch down quietly before he torches the place. he's probably killed at least three people by now and god knows if lenny's even still alive
so you walk into the saloon ready to fight for your life and there's big bad arthur morgan. he drunk screams he loves you. he's dancing the fucking can-can
still processing the fact that it never ONCE crossed mark's mind to pass off the responsibility of taking care of his new brother onto his mom............. he was so ready to drop everything to fix nolan's mistakes all by himself :(
i really love that even if its very platonic right now, Mark includes Eve in the people that he wasn’t there for because she is already very important to him
