You ever just write something so gas but also so revolting
Is “The deification of Dutch Van der Linde” a tag on ao3??? Hold on. Let me check something.
Okay cool, so can I propose something then-
#I really wanna talk about the biblical themes im putting into this fic and the parallels im drawing but I also am writing it#in a heavily disjointed way so I just dont even know what to say about it and RAHHHHHHH IM GOING INSANE#this is my magnum opus i fear#Dutch as god and John as Abraham#and these scenes that all involve “tests” as foreshadowing for the sacrifice of his own son(s)#John losing his faith in a “benevolent” god only to replace it with faith in another (Dutch)#and eventually come to realize that Man really WAS made in His image after all (cruel and merciless)#and yes I did describe one of dutch's custom schofield revolvers thank you for noticing#he gave it to him for this task specifically in an exchange of dutch's trust for john's loyalty + obedience to him and the gang#anyway this isnt edited tbh and I dont want to get ppls hopes up bc I dont know how long this thing is gonna take me#so its not going to be posted on its own just here as a rb so if you see it... it was meant to be fr#OH ALSO. the whole “John calling dutch sir” thing is inspired by the idea that john passes on his trauma to jack in subtle ways#bc I noticed that jack calls john “sir” when he is demanding respect or authority over his son and as their relationship kinda eases#he starts calling him “pa” more often#so I was like “ok but what if he's falling into old habits of how he was raised/taught things by dutch”#like idk man. the discomfort in the air between them when jack calls John sir is so palpable. you can tell it makes them BOTH uneasy#but also I might just be crazy so who knows#might turn off rbs later but idk!! we will see how insecure about my writing I get before then#posting even just snippets in a new fandom is SCARY so this is my way of microdosing that after god knows how long#red dead redemption 1#red dead redemption 2#<- idk what to tag this as bc its a pre rdr2 snippet but like... idk?? I have inspiration from both games so?????#john marston#dutch van der linde#paisley.txt
