I think this might be my favourite SFTH video description ever

Another comic from the depths of the timewarp.

More diabetes-inducing fluff.

Not a lot to say about this one to be honest. Just an idea that I thought'd be cute.

i got a loaded imagination being fired by girls' talk

modern au but the gang waking up in modern day in the order they died with memories of their lives as outlaws:

bessie motherfucking matthews being the one that rounds them up. she's a professor at a university teaching women's history and owns a little cottage on the outskirts of town, and uses newspaper articles to try and plot out who/where someone will 'wake up'

sean was the first VDL she successfully found. davey and mac somehow found each other and got themselves incarcerated for armed robbery before she got them.

sean adapts almost instantly and loves the chaos of modern day cities: car horns, fluorescent lights, night clubs, television (fuck you lenny reading is for nerds!!). he steals a bike he calls ennis II and gets a job delivering pizzas

she finds hosea and lenny next. it's a very emotional reunion. she starts calling lenny her son. hosea spends at least a week refusing to let his wife out of his sight because he has to be dreaming, kisses and adores her at every opportunity. their dates are her teaching him to drive a car

lenny takes less than a day to figure out computers and takes over the locate the VDLs project. he has what is effectively a murder wall of colored yarn and push pins trying to figure out when and where the next person will appear. manages to cyber-stalk down jenny, who being as breathtakingly clever as she is figured out the present all by herself and works in a diner. she comes over for dinner twice a week

retracing the gang's steps they find kieran, who is doing fabulously not well. he's been homeless for a month, got hit by a car and is very, very distraught by not only the memories of his torture after being taken by o'driscolls but the fact he betrayed the gang by talking. bessie matthews, mother to all, introduces him to noise cancelling headphones, gardening, and horse girl movies.

lenny: hey i've been doing some research and i think most of us have this thing called ptsd????

when hosea and bessie want to have a nice, quiet romantic dinner by themselves they put sensory videos on the tv and all the boys just sit there silently

Okay I was just making friends with a new coworker on chat, and I mentioned Ghost and they were like, "I've only heard their first album, that had to be like 15 years ago or so."

...I told them to skip straight to Skeletá and give me their first thoughts.

Now we sit back and wait.

timewarp rdr2 au but Arthur types texts like he's writing letters

and then there's Sean who cuts his words as much as he needs so his dms look like

" k omw xoxo "

Arthur has to ask Jack for help every single time

[gayymomgod]

that’s a lot of doctors …..

[impassociate]

Just wanted to draw the fluffiest, most saccharine thing I could think of.

So of course I went with the timewarp AU.

Just gonna post this unapologetically. Just good to put this Fizz through something nice, considering the shit he's been put through by a panicked canon!timeline Blitz.

being mentally ill and online is exhausting bc i’ll see a post that’s like ‘if you ship marbo and grunch from strawberry timewarp fantasies you’re terrible for the following reasons:’ and i’ll be like oh god they’re right i am terrible and i should kill myself as an apology. and then once i calm myself down i realize i’ve never even seen strawberry timewarp fantasies, let alone participated in the sinful pleasures of the grarbo ship. bashing my head against the wall girl not everyone is talking about you things exist beyond what you are conscious of not all drama is worth being taken seriously stop listening to people online you are not evil

Out of the timewarp couples we know that...

Sean dies before Lenny

And

Bessie dies before Hosea

This leaves The Morgans, The Duffys (Sorry Kieran it's you), and The Jones's... at least to my memory.

So in my lust for angst... who dies first, and how tragic was it?

Okay timewarp endgame let's go

Bessie and Hosea die together, so who died first is unknown. Bessie was sick first* and the one the gang most expected to die. Hosea's heart just went 'fuck not losing my wife again'.

Generally, the first shall be the last. Most of the 1911 gang actually die before the 1899 gang (minus tragedies and age related illness) simply because living rough as outlaws do for an extra 9-15 years in canon era was a physical strain they never really recovered from.

Charles dies before Arthur - he went 9 years mourning Arthur before timewarping, and I'm not putting him through that again. Only in his early 70s, Arthur noticed the tiny change of Charles sleeping more than usual and insisted he go see a doctor. Metastatic lung cancer: with only two or three weeks left to live. Instead of suffering through treatment for at most an extra 6 months, Charles decided just enjoy what time he had left - helping Arthur plan for how he would cope without him, seeing family and saying goodbyes, going to the few sights they hadn't seen and some of their favorite places for the last time. 3 weeks after the diagnosis, and only the second time he actually complained about pain, Charles simply took a nap and never woke up.

Similarly, in the once-Matthews-now-Duffscuella household, Javier dies first. Javier did not age well, and got a lot of age-related illnesses younger than most people. Arthritis in his 40s, heart disease in his 50s. Still, his death was very abrupt (only a year or so after Charles, so early 70s again). He was sitting on the couch, watching TV with Kieran. Sat his cigarette down on the edge of the ash tray, said he didn't feel like it, and laughed when Kieran asked if he could have it. But then - didn't pass it to him. Massive, sudden cardiac arrest. No response to attempted resuscitation: so quick it was painless. Didn't mean Kieran was any less distraught.

Kieran ends up living with Arthur because, as well as his self-neglecting brand of autism, Kieran was diagnosed with early stage dementia shortly before Javier died. As it progressed, Kieran's confusion manifested as basically thinking it was canon era. He'd huff he had to take care of the horses, or have moments where he still thought he was an O'Driscoll and start stealing things (from himself) because if he went back to the gang empty handed 'Colm'll have my head'. Arthur was always the best at calming him down, second to Javier, and generally knew how to keep Kieran happy in terms of things he would eat and what situations would be too overstimulating for him. Also, Arthur actually had horses so Kieran could look after them in his stableboy moments and be content. Kieran also passed away before Arthur.

The Jones's might have to be another ask oop.
