Hunting hours

People always talk about Arthur giving John his hat, but no one talks about John putting his hand on it to push it down because it doesn’t fit 🥺

Plus the fact that he uses his right hand, which isn’t empty, because he was shot in his left shoulder—raising his left arm would’ve hurt. 😩

[coweyloaf]

How have I not known until now that Arthur will randomly sing when idle?

This is the first time I experienced this. 😳

Entirety of red dead redemption

One of my headcanons is that the VDL gang found Branwen out in the mountains while they were still in Colter. They didn’t remembered where they saw this horse before but they keep him because they can’t let a horse die in their presence + they could sell it later.

Kieran didn’t say a word when they brought Branwen in, stifling his surprise seeing his horse again. He wouldn’t reveal it in fear of the VDL using Branwen as a bargaining chip. Having Branwen in the stables with him helped Kieran feel better, just a little.

They brought Branwen with them to Horseshoe Overlook and it’s by sheer luck the horse wasn’t sold before Kieran was untied. The gang kind of shrugged and sighed when they realized Branwen was Kieran’s all along. When the suggestion of selling Branwen diffused through camp, Kieran put up enough of a kerfuffle to end that debate. Kieran was only allowed to keep Branwen if he were to never ride him out of camp unless supervised. (They also gave Kieran the shittiest tack they had so even if he DID run away, it would be a pain for Kieran and Branwen to travel long distances).

watching the lego movie b/c ive needed a laugh and …. john…?

[coweyloaf]

After two weeks, I finished him. Sculpted with super sculpey and hand painted with plastic model acrylics.

Now I'll put him in the kitchen I guess.

[coweyloaf]

I'm gonna work on this later and over the weekend. Hope I didn't put too much on my plate with these

So, the pull has ended and the fics you picked were:

✨Characters reaction to finding out your a toe walker

And

⭐Roller skating with characters modern AU

For anyone wanting another Rdr2 character just keep in mind Im only writing mxm so please suggest male characters :))

Edit: I accidentally put Kieran down twice, ignore that, I'll add up the percentage for him when it's over

I headcannon that Lenny will tell the most insane, but totally possible lies just to mess with the gang and they all believe him because he’s Lenny and why would he make this stuff up. Example of some lies:

“Oh, Micah eats bananas horizontally. Like corn on a cob.”

“You didn’t know Sean had an extra toe? The bounty hunters cut it off to make him talk. He loved that toe.”

“Bill the other day he talked non stop for almost an hour about, get this, Opera. Yeah, he apparently has an amazing falsetto.”

“Hosea beat Charles in a fist fight the other day. Yeah it was crazy, I didn’t know the old man had it in him.”

But of course he tells people this in confidence, so they never confront the subject of the lie. However that person receives strange looks for the rest of the week. The only person who knows about his scheme is Sean who does everything in his power to make sure Lenny’s lies are more believable.

Kieran Duffy Mini Analysis

Since I struggle to imagine how Kieran’s facial and body expressions are portrayed, I compiled some notes on clips and dialogue. Uploading for other Kieran fans to enjoy.

While cowering after being slapped by Colm and fleeing rather than fight in Chapter 1, Kieran isn’t as cowardly as one would think. He indeed moans and pleads when lassoed by Arthur at first, but after given time to wallow in the stables in Colt Kieran starts putting up a fight. He fights his restraints and keeps solid eye contact with his captors, only collapsing and breaking eye contact when the conversation is over. He even makes faces angry enough to show up on face motion capture! Big grumpy face and eye rolling. He boldly says he’d rather die to Arthur’s face.

It’s in chapter 2 where he’s beaten in spirits by the hunger and treatment. He seems inclined to beg and groan in sadness at his situation rather than fight back. He cowers when Bill or others threaten him with physical harm.

Mid chapter 2 and onwards, he mellows out into a guy who tries to be as nice and as unobtrusive as possible. He still keeps eye contact when speaking and even puts assertiveness behind some of his words. He has the guts to say to people’s face to leave him alone and stop fucking with him. He also doesn’t shy from grumbling and making “oh come on!🙄” gestures when verbally harassed by the gang. He visibly gets frustrated when called an O’Driscoll but he usually has to calm himself down till he can respond dejectedly rather than actually angrily. He did get upset with Sean and stand in front of him with no cowering to stand his ground when called an O’Driscoll (until he got head butted).

He thanks people and sounds amused and surprisingly relaxed for his situation. (Idk how to explain it but) he has a smile in his tone of voice in some dialogue. Sometimes greets Arthur in a chipper way. Sweet! Even has the emotional vulnerability to apologize to Abigail about Jack going missing.

He is still easily threatened by the gang if they get up in his face or yell. He leans away, goes silent, slowly pulls his hands closer to his chest, and goes still when intimidated. It takes a few seconds before he relaxes afterwards.

Headcanon territory: after listening to ~7 minutes of cut Kieran fighting audio, I can definitely say that this man has some lungs on him! The rasp to his voice makes me think he’s worked his voice hoarse (haha, horse pun) enough times to leave some permanent damage/evidence in his voice. I think he damaged his voice while with the O’Driscolls. The few times he’d be on a job including gun fighting, he’d rely on shouting threats and malicious taunting to intimidate the enemy since his looks aren’t that scary. Plus, if he was in a group of O’Driscoll during a gunfight, no one would be able to get a good look at him as he dips out of cover to shoot, they’d just hear his raspy shouting about “cutting all their damn throats” and “this ain’t gonna end pretty, boy” (this one is my favorite because if you listen to the line, you can REALLY hear the rasp in the “boy”).

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say (whether he admits it or not) Kieran does enjoy gunfights. Kieran by no means asked to join a life of crime and I am sure he did NOT want to kill anyone at the start, but over time shit corrupts and feeling the power of firing and seeing his enemies drop gave Duffy a semblance of control back to his life. In a gunfight, no one pays him too much attention and he can just enjoy his brief power trip.

A more wholesome HC: much of the cut Kieran audio has him talking or greeting the other gang members with some friendliness. He’s actually quite funny and I am sad so much (~30+ minutes) was cut. I imagine these lines would’ve been for a version where he gets to stick with the gang long enough for him to be trusted and for him to relax into his natural personality, which is surprisingly good humored! Kieran still has his mumbly quiet moments but he also sounds like he’s smiling more and even making jokes. Even makes harmless jabs at Arthur if he returns to camp bloodied or dirty. Has the courage to ask questions (I can’t find the exact line but I heard a couple where he was asking Arthur what he was doing in “his space” and if he needed to borrow “his things” so Kieran was either given or claimed ownership of stuff) and set boundaries (many cut quotes of Kieran asking others to buzz off or give him space because he wants to be alone).

:) I am sad they cut so much content but at least the audio is accessible so I can theorize away like this!
