john marston is so autistic and i don't think we talk about it enough. everything out of that man's mouth sounds so steeped in autism it's wild. look at the way he stands. LOOK AT HIM

Today’s Incoherent Red Dead Ramble is brought to you by the fact that the one and only time arthur openly named his illness and acknowledged his impending mortality in front of the gang was when milton was literally holding a gun to his head
And it took the whole gang falling apart, his brother presumed to be dead, his best friend (one of the few people he had acknowledged his illness to, albeit somewhat vaguely) fleeing the country, his sister-in-law being abducted and abandoned by dutch while sadie and arthur undertake a desperate rescue mission and coming damn near close to failing. It took all of that bleakness, and a GUN to his HEAD, to finally say ‘I have tuberculosis and I’m dying’ in front of any of the people that would have actually tried to help him
AND it wasn’t even that he finally broke down in a moment of vulnerability, that he could no longer go on and finally needed to ask for help, oh no. He only said it out of defiance, out of spite, to tell milton that killing him here would scarcely change his fate. Doing his best to spit in the pinkertons’ eye one last time, to distract him, to stall, to say ‘I may die here but that’s hardly to your credit, I’m headed out the door anyway’ before attempting to fight the man hand to hand one last time
And somehow, he survived that act of defiance and lived long enough to make his way to commit one more act of defiance, to try to warn a man who certainly didn’t deserve it of the treachery within his ranks. Barely surviving that to commit one more act of defiance against his brother, sending him away, alone, rejecting any possibility of his own survival because it meant john might be able to make it out.
Had things never gotten so dire, they would likely have never known what exactly was going on with him - they could see that we was unwell, deeply so, but the last bit of normalcy he clung to was being the gang’s unwavering protector. In the end he couldn’t maintain that illusion for himself any longer, but he let go of it in service of that role.
So many of his final acts were done in defiance, out of love

Long Rant Post Warning ⚠️
(kinda, not really)
idk if anyone else has said this but red dead redemption 2 is the ultimate 'cosy game' and anyone who says otherwise is a liar.
it is SO cosy. think ab it.
when you think about cosy games what do you think of? Animal Crossing? Stardew Valley? they all have similar characteristics.
they're slice of life games, you can camp, meet and converse with npcs, go fishing and foraging, dress and care for yourself/character, immerse yourself in a cosy stress free world.
Babe, thats Red Dead Redemption 2!! (minus the rest of the game shush)
But rdr2 is a BETTER cosy game than the rest of these schmucks and heres why:
think ab the games we've mentioned: Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, The Sims, Harvest Moon, etc.. They're great but they're rarely immersive and can very easily become overplayed. like im a sims girly always have been always will but its repetitive. same goes for most other games. Going on Animal Crossing everyday to say 'Hi' to Deli (best islander) and run around trying to get bells for 20 minutes can become tiresome. not cosy.
But i could spend ETERNITY camped out on lake Owanjila, watching the beavers with my horse, Amadeus, fishing for the legendary small mouth, and re-reading Arthurs journal by the fire. Like that is ULTIMATE cosy gaming.
and it never gets boring and i never have to feel ashamed of my playstyle or ability. unlike other so-called cosy games where i just feel sh*tty because i can't get my island to be as nice as everyone elses or i don't have the prettiest custom content.
its easy to spend hours, days, in Red Dead without even playing "properly". I've been playing since the game released and I'm still discovering new and unique spots on the map, still enjoying all the little mundane chores I have Arthur do and hearing new conversations at the campfire.
Point is that tbh i forgot my point but also Red Dead Redemption 2 should be considered a cosy game and i would choose it over any other.

VDL Gang as Fathers - Part 2 <3
[part 1]
A/N: after writing part 1 last night i had a dream that i had a son and then i raised this son for 8 years and then my son d i e d. baby fever so bad I'm literally grieving a child i never had rn....anyways:
Charles:
is it weird that i dont see charles as being a super hands on parent?
like unless you and him have your child after the two of you leave camp and settle down i don't see him having a lot of time
considering the workhorse that he is.
but he would do his best.
all those late nights, he takes care of all the tears, diapers, etc. you get to sleep soundly through the night.
once your child is old enough charles can bring them along on hunts, they're a natural and pick their fathers lessons up quickly.
i can see your kid following charles around camp adamantly, like a little puppy. always right at his side
this takes awhile for him to get used to, no longer the lone wolf he once was, he loves the company. he never wants to be without the two of you again.
after a long day, his favourite sight is you and the life you both created, cuddled by the warmth of the fire, smiling up at him.
piggybacks 24/7 ofc. Charles can easily get on with his chores whilst carrying his child on his shoulders. mans is an absolute f+cking unit.
also random but he gives like huge family vibes. can see him having like 5 sons and 1 daughter or something.
Dutch:
Dutch is the type of insecure mf to get jealous of his own sons once they surpass him.
and dutch with a daughter?? she's gonna end up as the 19th century equivalent of a Lana Del Rey girly honestly
i see him being involved to a certain point. like he'll want to teach your kids fishing, poetry, how to be the smartest in the room etc...
he loves being the smartest in the room, inflicting his knowledge onto their little developing minds.
but the domestic side of things? cries in the night, dirty diapers, teething?? no chance.
i do think he'd love them tho, with all of his heart. he may be a POS but thats a human being made entirely of yours and his creation. he'd worship them like they were the be all and end all of his existence....he just would never treat them like that 🤷‍♀️
your kid would totally grow up thinking that arthur and john were their biological big brothers bc of how dutch refers to them
and thats alright by them both.
Micah:
do not. let. this man. anywhere. near children.
Hosea:
the news that the two of you were going to be parents was a shock to say the least
hosea almost felt guilty, with such a large age gap between the two of you and with him being an older parent.
he felt like he'd trapped you both in this, knowing he wouldnt see your child grow up.
but he spends the time he has with them to the fullest.
Hosea is constantly reading to them, until they can read themselves at which point the roles swap, with your child becoming the reader.
they already have an extensive vocabulary before they even know how to use it.
but hosea teaches them that too, a master con-man in the making. a child prodigy at the art of deception.
hosea takes them out for long weekends alot, until he gets too sick to do so.
they'll spend days out in the wilderness, always coming home with a charming trophy of some sort, bear skins, a buck, stolen treasure maps.
your child will probably head off on their own before long, ambitions of being an actor, just like their father.
they'll return some short time after, a bounty on their head in 3 different states and not an acting credit in sight....just like their father.

VDL Gang as Fathers Part 1 <3
[part 2]
i am suffering from a severe case of incurable baby fever rn so heres my takes/headcanons on the van der linde lads as dads:
warning:this is gonna be very messy i am typing the words the second they appear in my head without any thoughts at all.
Arthur:
I know everyone wants Arthur to be like the super involved playful dad but lets be real. he is tired.
this man is not bandit heeler i hate to break it to yous
mans is tired, stressed, and just completely 'done in' in general.
he'll take your kid fishing on weekends or whenever dutch gives him a break for more than five minutes
sat by the fire or at one of the tables whilst he eats and your kid reads to him/ asks for help with their reading.
"play with me, play with me!!" and Arthur wants to oblige but his back is killing him. he'll maybe sit slouched on his cot or by the water, lazily dragging around a small doll in his hand for your child to interact with.
more often than not he'll just sit and watch them play and interact with the world, sketching their gleeful face in his journal so he never forgets a moment.
sometimes he'll beckon them over, open up a page from his journal, he'll show the kid a drawing of one of the plants he's documented.
"this ones called burdock root, see, its good for the horses, here why dontcha go see if you can find some now, huh? good kid,"
he wants to be as active and involved as he possibly can be, he feels like a bad father most of the time and it takes a whole lot of reassurance from yourself to remind him that he is an incredible parent.
Sean:
Sean is a different story
this man was born to be a dad, and he loves every second of it.
this man hasnt wiped the smile off his face since the day you told him that he was going to be a father
piggy back rides across enchanted kingdoms, pretty pink princess tea parties, cops and robbers, etc.
he has no shame he will wear the tutu, he will neigh like a horsey, he will let himself get bumped and bruised beyond belief for your little bundle of ginger joy.
the entire camp complaining that sean never pulls his weight anymore. totally pre-occupied.
he wishes his own dad could meet the two of you. he'd be so proud.
sean pushing his political beliefs before the baby has even popped out the womb ofc
sean actually starts taking an interest in learning to read/write
he sits in whilst you and Hosea teach your child and hes silently taking notes and learning along with them.
im getting carried away im sorry. i love sean so much oh my days someone make him a parent. (me its gonna be me)
John:
obvs John is already a parent so for the most part we've seen how he'd act.
so most of these are gonna be based of that.
he isn't like sean, he's kind of embarrassed by the whole super active dad thing. at least to start of with.
"can we play doctors, pleeaaaseee?" but he'd say no, something like "come on now go ask your brother, yknow grown ups dont play that stuff,"
he'd watch them walk away defeated and it would. break. him.
he starts to get more used to the idea after witnessing other parents playing with their kids, whether thats in camp or just familys passing by in town. it would take a while not to retaliate every time Bill or someone made a comment.
(just imagining John playing horsey whilst his kid rides him. Bill makes a Joke and John jumps up like "wha did u sAy??" whoosh. kid goes flying)
bonding time is usually John reading to your child from whatever book he happens to be reading, its usually not appropriate or even enjoyable to kids at all.
or like when he's busy fixing one of the wagons with charles he'll hand your kid a piece of wood, some nails and a hammer tell 'em to "have at it," 10/10 parenting. keeps them happy and quiet.
Javier:
yknow that scene from TWD with Shane and Carl catching frogs?? yeah that one scene is Javier as a Dad. it just is. i dont make the rules.
fishing trips all the time ofc
little Escuella Jr. falling asleep beside their dad at the camp fire whilst he's playing guitar for the gang.
when they do stay awake long enough for Javier to carry them to their bed, he sings lullabies to them until they drift off.
if you and Javier have a daughter he is going to treat her like the most beautiful and delicate angel in the world. constantly complimenting her, going on and on about how stunning and amazing she is to anyone who will listen. she's a princess. He helped make something that perfect.
but son or daughter, either way, Javier is teaching this baby how to handle their knives. got them destroying Micah at 5-finger-fillet before they're old enough to trash talk.
Javier is one of those parents that feeds their kid dirt to strengthen their immune system. but hey, it works! take it from me, a fellow dirt baby.
Javier teaching Escuella Jr. to play guitar!!!!!
Your kid is gonna be a total badass. will 10/10 make all the other little kids at nursery piss their pants.
This has done nothing to fix my baby fever. will either make a part 2 or get pregnant immediately. <3 <3 <3
