I’m Marie (they/she). This is my second story mode playthrough of RDR2, this time the goals being to take my time, reach 100% completion, play as low-honor Arthur, and! take! photos!!!
I’m dealing with a lot of mental and chronic health issues and I’ve been very angry about it. Red Dead has been my only outlet to de-stress, but up until recently I didn’t realize I could also use it to, well, really vent. This is coming from someone previously afraid of the – honor bell.
In order to somewhat justify my recent actions, I’ve come up with a story for my Arthur, a take on a Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde-type scenario; in which while attempting to reconcile with his past, after settling in to New Hanover with the gang, Arthur is haunted with the realization that he suddenly doesn’t know himself anymore… and worse, that he can no longer trust himself.
In other words: Arthur Morgan, serial killer. But regretfully. But by choice. Or not. It’s still pretty convoluted at this point. But I digress, I wanted to summarize what I plan to do with this!
I’m documenting my storyline (or AU, since this is practically a glorified fanfic) with pictures from photo mode, and I’m writing passages to go with them. I’m having a lot of fun developing this story (the first “story” I’ve been able to follow through with working on in years) as I play along. Also expect in-game clips, fanart (big maybe), and the occasional non-roleplay post about Red Dead, like Abigail appreciation.
As for content warnings: expect lots of gore and violence, pertaining to the game but potentially in vivid detail thanks to my being a slut for purple prose. And expect a slooooow burn! I want to incorporate the main storyline missions but I’m currently taking my time at the tail end of chapter two. As always, THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR CANON RDR2! (Fuck it, you should know: Jack Marston lives to see adulthood but in the epilogue he goes on this ship and then it gets hit by an iceberg…)
hey! saw your tags on that one post abt damian and even though i dont really have eye problems i think maybe reading the comics on google books might help? it has this really cool feature that kinda selects and pushes the speech bubbles forward and like ever time you tap on the page the next bubble pops up a little bigger. that made it a lot easier for me to read the comics so maybe it could help you too!! though you'd kinda have to buy them on google books,, but they can be pretty cheap sometimes so maybe check it out! :))
holy shit i love you now bro thanks!!! i definitely will check it out!!! <3
