John gets sick and Dutch, Hosea, and Arthur decide to stay in a room to avoid John camping out in the cold. During that time, Arthur reads to him to pass the time.

I’m sorry but can you imagine the impact Isaac’s death had on the rest of the gang. No one knowing what to do but watching Arthur change. Arthur losing himself, drinking constantly, going through episodes of uncontrollable rage to being emotionally vacant, where he asks Hosea (post-Bessie) if he’ll ever feel anything again. Nights where they think they can hear Arthur crying in his closed tent, and there’s an unspoken fear they could lose him. Fear that Arthur is going to die with his son, whether it’s drinking or increasingly reckless missions where it feels like he’s not trying to dodge bullets, or if one day he’s going to go off on a hunting trip and be found months later as a corpse with a gun still in his hand.
But he somehow pulls through. Recovers, or represses the grief enough to masquerade as okay. Starts smiling again.
John not understanding how devastating that grief could be until he’s holding his own son - a tiny fragile baby and knowing he already loves him too much. He doesn’t know how to be a parent, he doesn’t know how it’s possible to love something so much. He does know he could never be as strong as Arthur, because if anything happened to that tiny baby he wouldn’t be able to live. It’s terrifying, knowing something so small could destroy him. So he puts up walls: maybe it's not his baby. Still loves him. Tries to avoid Abigail and the baby. Still loves him.
He has to leave. Before that baby kills him.

Modern Jobs I think the VDL Gang would have
Dutch - Drug Lord Prolly - but as a real answer I feel like he would Definitely be the leader of a shitty MEGA church
Hosea - I imagine him either as a therapist or a preschool/elementary teacher - Or even better, Number one Bingo Player in the retirement home
Arthur - Funny enough, I can't see him being more than a ranch hand
John - He's a good ranch owner - He, Arthur, Abi, Jack, n a few others live on a big ranch and live happily ever after
Mary-Beth - She's a librarian, author, and frequent AO3 visitor - can't convince me other wise, She has one of the best fanfictions on WattPad I just know it
Abigail - My heart and soul tells me that Abi would be an illustrator for children's books - or a stay at home mom
Kieran - My little Princess Pupcup is getting his degree in Equine science and becoming a veterinarian for horsies
Micah - Hitman or Dishwasher no in between
Bill - Gas Station clerk - Or I can also imagine him working with Kieran with the horses
Javier - Performer, duh - He does a lot of side gigs and plays at cafes on the reg - I can also imagine him being a Spanish tutor for kids
Susan - Let's be honest, she's the principal of a high school or middle school - any other answer is wrong (/j)
Lenny - He's also a writer, but he's not a fanfiction writer like Mary-Beth - I can also imagine him visiting Mary-Beth's library and reading to the kids on Sundays <3
Sean - Youtuber/ Twitch Streamer - need I say more???
Swanson - AA leader - He's also probably trying to get people to stop joining Dutch's MEGA church
Pearson - He's a chef for the Retirement Home that Hosea is bound to - He also works for the local soup kitchen
Karen - I can see her being a dance performer - not like a stripper, but more like ballet or even musical theater
Charles - State trooper at a National Park - No further questions
Tilly - I just imagine her as such a good lawyer like her husband - She's defiantly someone who can talk her client out of the death penalty if needed
Uncle - His job is to park his ass in a rocking chair and Bother John til the day he dies

I'm so glad Javier ran off with John and Arthur and that Arthur lived and then Charles came back and then they reunited with Sadie, jack, and abigail and then they all moved out west and made their own little farm/ranch with Arthur and Charles in one cabin and Sadie, abigail, John, Javier, and jack all sharing a larger house because of their whole poly thing they got going on and jack was raised by so many loving parental figures and then abigail and John had their daughter who became the best farmhand/cowgirl you ever did see and they all lived happily ever after

The way that Hosea says "the curious couple and their unruly son" does not sound like something he came up with, it sounds like he is quoting something someone else or the newspaper said. I wanna know who called them that and thank them.

my headcanon is at least One member in the van der linde gang isn't going by their real name
cus ykn how most joined by attempting to steal from dutch or hosea or whatever
there had to be one that didn't trust the gang At All and told them a fake name and after they realised tha gang could be trusted, they were already wayyy too far in deep to suddenly go like "oh by the way i'm actually (name) aha awkwarrrrd ,,,,"

All kinds of wonderful ideas about rdr3 being about Jack, Sadie, Charles, etc etc but I NEED it to be a prequel to rdr2. I want to see a young and wild Hosea and Dutch his househusband. I want to see twink Arthur and his young romance with Mary. I want to see Susan serving cunt. (She's already serving cunt in rdr2 but I can't stop thinking about that photo of hers.) I want to see John being a stinky little horror. It is a physical need at this point. We saw how the family fall apart, let us see how it came together in the first place.
