Once again RDR 1-2 on  Twitter/X

the strange man makes me so viscerally uncomfortable and i can’t articulate why

John telling Javier "this people ain't your family" in chapter 6 is so unfair. They are his family, John, the gang was all he's ever had in the US. He lets it crumble what does he have left? what will he do? In a country that is hostile to him it's the only place he's found comfort. John can say he's got his own family now, after refusing to care for it, and in the last chapters he's constantly being reassured that other folk -Arthur and Sadie- had his back.

You know who had Javier's back? Who fred him in Guarma? Dutch! sorry but it's not strange he's clinging to that man.

How can people not understand Javier's struggle? Others have been moving on for a while now, and he's being left behind, stuck in the same place. Being treated like it's his fault. He just tried desperately to hang on what little he had left of his family, he was mean and angry cause he's desperate.

so yeah whatever

i had this one AWESOME writing thing for a comic or fanfic where it starts with adult Jack taking a shot of whiskey at a saloon as he goes through his uncle's(Arthur) journal and, maybe splitting away from canon for a moment, finding a few pages on this(THE) strange man. And then he is like "omg I think dad talked about him", and then it just goes on from there. Like Arthur,'s and John's(possibly Dutch's) deaths r related by him and it's just Jack looking for some sort of answer on what exactly is the Strange Man. What is he there to tell? Is he a divine messenger? A holy man that sees if your honorable enough to go to heaven or sick enough to go to hell? And it just basically spirals on from there. I also like to think he'd see a few familiar faces on the way(MaryBeth, Tilly and her child, Karen(personally I believe she is still alive), etc).

Idk it was a moment I had where I kept imagining it and I was like "this is so cool" but I didn't put it down in any form so it's stuck in my brain

the devil wears a suit and tie

"Y'know, I admire you John. I hope my boy turns out just like you."

I personally headcanon John to be psychotic tbh

Ya know what I want to see in rdr3 if it is set before the events of rdr1? The strange man, I just encountered him for the first time in rdr1 so I don't know much about him but even if he doesn’t know who he is he obviously knows John, he has met John before, he literally says "you have forgotten people far more important than me," meaning that they know each other. I want to see that, I want to see what made the strange man so interested in John yet meant so little to John that he forgot him.

Part 3 of RDR 1-2  on  Twitter/X

sorry for the low effort meme but im not actually sorry whatever

John: "You ever get so tired you start seeing spiders?"

Seth: "Me after I take seventeen Benadryls and start seein' The Hat Man!"

John: "The WHO?!"

Seth: "Oh, suddenly this isn't a safe place?!"

that mf is just the strange man 💀

Yeehawgust, Strange Hoofbeats

Messing with a simple style :) could’ve messed with it forever but it’s alright for right now haha

Based on a dream I had where Arthur & the strange man became? The same entity? It was weird lol
