hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm boy

[dutchiepoo2]

let me know if i'm wild for this but i never understood depicting/equating John to a wolf.

i've seen Arthur compared to a buck, which makes sense because it is literally canon for high honor. i've seen Charles depicted as a bison, which makes sense because he seems quite connected to them and i feel like the personalities match well. Micah as a snake/rat makes sense because... well, duh.

John, though?? this dude got MAULED BY WOLVES!!! he probably HATES WOLVES!!! oh my goodness!

i feel like he needs a mascot that is equally as awkward as he is but still kind of cool looking. like a male pigeon.

RDR2 Men & Physical Intimacy Issues

completely unprompted: sexual dysfunction

also completely unprompted, what if it became a series??? this was way more fun than I was expecting... -Jelly

cw: discusses sex stuff. intimacy issues & sexual dysfunction. mostly gender neutral unless specified otherwise.

mentions: alcohol & sex, self-image, unhealthy attitudes surrounding sex.

Characters: Arthur Morgan, John Marston, Charles Smith, Dutch Van Der Linde, Javier Escuella

Can't get it up:

Arthur sometimes struggles to get hard, and can get very insecure about it.

For him, it's more a mental block than a physical one. He has a lot of deep-seated insecurities about his appearance and his character, and it sometimes pops up during sex.

He tends to be more of a giver in general, but if he knows he's struggling to get it up that day, he'll try to hide it by hyper-focusing on his partner's pleasure.

It's really not that Arthur doesn't want his partner. He really, really does. His body just doesn't cooperate sometimes. He's a bit older now, too, which doesn't help at all.

Occasionally with AFAB partners, he'll worry about pregnancy. He knows it's always a risk, of course, but some days the worry just sticks and makes getting hard impossible.

John gets crazy whiskey dick. Yes, it's a pretty typical reaction to alcohol, but he gets it bad. Like as soon as he's more than just a tiny bit buzzed, he's struggling.

He thinks it sucks, because who doesn't want a tipsy roll in the hay every once in a while?

If he's only had a couple, he can make it work with a lot of effort. He'll probably need his partner to suck him off first. He definitely doesn't mind that part, but if he's still half soft after all that extra effort, he'll get frustrated and just want to go to sleep.

If John is really drunk, he thinks it's funny. Laughs so much that sex isn't really an option anymore.

Otherwise, when he's sober, John has no trouble at all. If anything, he has the opposite problem...

Finishes prematurely:

Listen. John gets really excited sometimes.

If he's been thinking about it all day, if it's been a while since he's had any, he can get pretty worked up.

John's mind conjures up grand plans for when he finally has the chance with his partner, so much so that he's hot and ready before he even lays hands on them.

John's saving grace is that he's ready for a round two in no time!!!

Javier does nothing half-assed.

Unfortunately, that means he's not willing to pace himself if his partner is having a good time.

It's a double-edged sword. Javier reallllly gets off on when his partner is visibly enjoying themselves, but how are they going to enjoy themselves if he has to take a break? And then he cums and it all has to end??? Not fair.

Fortunately, he is more than ready and willing to switch to using his mouth and hands.

Can't finish:

Charles is incredibly disciplined. I believe that he is so good at compartmentalizing that he separates himself from the current moment sometimes, leading to a mind-body disconnect.

Sometimes, no matter how hard he tries to be in the moment, he just can't. There's always something else looming in his mind, fighting for his attention.

That doesn't mean he doesn't like sex! Charles loves sex, but only when he can commit to and really want it.

Sometimes, he engages in sex purely out of routine or service to his partner. He doesn't think of sex as physical, but wants his partner to have physical pleasure. So, even when he's not mentally or emotionally into it, he's happy to lend a hand. Or dick... Just know he probably won't get off.

I think Charles would be uncomfortable with the idea that he has to orgasm every time he has sex. If he can have fun without the physical release, he's satisfied.

Charles almost never masturbates, because he can't orgasm without having something physical (his partner) to focus on.

Dutch is unwell! We, of course, know this. He tends to think of sex as a power play. Personally, I can't imagine him as anything aside from very dominant.

Sex, to Dutch, is more about what a person can do for him. What he tends to do is draw out his sexual experiences, slowly breaking down his partner to pieces.

However, when he draws it out, he loses physical sensitivity and ends up needing wayyyy more stimulation than expected to orgasm.

Dutch can make his partner work for it more, but at a certain point, he's prone to getting frustrated and giving up.

Arthur, for the same reasons he sometimes struggles to get hard, also struggles to finish. This is less of a prevalent issue, because if he's especially insecure one day, he's significantly less likely to engage in sex with his partner.

If Arthur pushes through the initial hurdles outlined above, they'll pop up again as him being unable to finish.

Other reasons may include: he notices something he's insecure about mid-fuck, he thinks he's going to get caught by others, or he thinks he's hurting his partner.

Otherwise, for purely physical reasons, if Arthur hasn't had restful sleep in a while, he can't reach orgasm.

woah its a coloured animatic of sorts spooky!

ramblings and process etc;

I wanted to draw fluffy scenes because... yeah. So was looking for a suitable song for this. Honourable mentions was "Last Pale Light in the West", which fits really well... then I thought about this song

The core of this whole idea is the shot of Arthur riding home after the torture and falling into the hands of the gang :)

my notes:

apparently it could not be just greyscale.

Also built up a ridiculously large file just for figuring out colors... I think its fun to look at

the one character design for little arthur:

very confused about "the quiet are restless" section because my original vision was this:

oh yes the first vision board - readable (subjective) from top to bottom, left to right.... with some exceptions. thing that didn't make it was arthur actually replaced by a strung up deer in the basement.

trying to figure out lineart style that might work...

then went with no lines instead, ha hahhahahah

and here's a shot that I kind of missed. Would have had arthur walking on the right, with smoke trailing behind him - and the two graves in the left panel. This is in "the cradle is burning" section

====

This video was edited in shotcut with the whole video split between 15 CSP files of about 10 seconds each to keep the animation layers from getting too bulky and the whole thing from crashing.

Started this on Jun 20th, now it's July 14th :0

look at him go

Grief (Blurb) Arthur x Reader

...

my kitty died last night, so I'm being self-indulgent. hope this helps someone else, too <3

cw: loss of a cat, grief, mentions animal being ill/hurt (no detail). not proofread.

"Alright," his voice resonated through the little tent. Arthur let out a small grunt as he settled his lumbering body down on the bedroll of your tent, making himself comfortable before opening an arm to you. "C'mon, kid."

If it were any other day, maybe you would've poked fun at the fact that he took up half the tent, or that he was stooping so low as to join you in your tent when he had a whole wagon and cot all to himself. Today, you just felt... dull.

His warmth soaked into your bones as you settled down, and he cradled you against his side, pulling the blanket up tight. A thick, deafening silence fell, mimicking the stillness you felt within.

The only thing missing was the sound of purring. Of tiny little snores.

As if Arthur could read your mind, he let out a long sigh.

"Reckon you ain't gonna get much sleep tonight," he spoke, chest rumbling against your cheek.

You nodded your agreement, curling up tighter against his steady presence.

"Y'did the right thing," he whispered, hand trailing through your hair. "That ain't no way for an animal to live."

An odd pain settled in your chest, tight with longing and absence. Eyes wet and throat tight, you tried to speak, but found that nothing you could say would describe the ache.

"You know that, right?" He tried, cupping your jaw with his other hand.

The lump in your throat doesn't go away, even as you swallow at it hard, even as your cheeks grow wet with tears.

"I just miss---"

The ache in your chest explodes past your lips in a choked off sob. Arthur coos, the gentlest you ever heard him. Chapped lips press to your forehead as he smothers you with gentle affection.

"I know, kid. I know."

[dutchiepoo2]

little guy .

[dutchiepoo2]

Happy pride to all, but specifically Charles Chatenay!!

Friendly reminder that he is Arthur's only kiss in the entire game

[dutchiepoo2]

Shut the actual fuck up 😭😭

Arthur Morgan is just a babbbyyyyyyy

[dutchiepoo2]

i thought why not combine my fav father-son song with my fav father and son in media 😛

[dutchiepoo2]

Sometimes I forget that despite being old, rdr1 is still fairly expressionate. Look at them faces.

[dutchiepoo2]

erm….. wrote this for girls w father issues 😍 (myself)

It’s on days like these that you feel truly blessed.

The rain’s hard knocking on your windows were left ignored as your daughter’s hysterical laughter filled the room; your husband the cause of it. The roof he built over your heads showed the quiet strength he’s provided over the years through sun and storm. The fire may sway and flicker but it remained alight, providing warmth on this cold night.

Sometimes you wonder how you got so lucky, eyes following the owners of your heart as they rolled around on the wooden floor. How you could ever land on a place so soft and far from the rough nest you fell from.

And really you did not mean to. But when Arthur turned to you, the bundle of joy weaved from the both of you in his arms, your chest stung from how big your heart grew and tears escaped your eyes before you could stop them.

Of course he’d rush your way, baby gently put aside. That was just the kind of man he was; always less than a call away. At least when it came to you.

“Darlin’ what’s wrong?” And you laughed, feeling so awful that you’ve twisted his face so. You shook your head as convincing as you could, wiping away those darn tears and yet,

He’ll still hold your face, reminding you how calloused hands can feel like cotton. He’ll kiss your forehead; deep and searing like iron on a cow or tattoos on a sailor. But somehow it won’t hurt — it only feels like love.

Then he’ll hold you.

Oh when he holds you..

The feeling is yet to grow old; to have someone — this rock of a man — to lean on. That before him, you never even knew that big arms had more to them than hurt. So much more than hurt..

And you just feel safe.

This blanket that wraps just right and leads your breathing with his own. That shushes your tears and soaks them up. And Lord he’s so warm.. How is he so warm?

When you close your eyes, it is exactly like living a dream. One that you’ll wake to find still here while the rest of the world along with all the bad in it melts away, past and present.

But somehow it always feels incomplete.

Until your baby girl slots her way between the two of you, making your life whole; the future you didn’t know you’d ever look forward to.

“I love you,” you told him, a vow once as well as forever. For the little unknowing girl that’s currently grabbing your shirt too.

“I love you too darlin’,” Arthur cooed, sealed with another kiss on the crown of your head. That one’s for little you <3

thank you for reading 🫶🏼

my masterlist

[dutchiepoo2]

uhhhh,...john

[dutchiepoo2]

I have no idea why I’m drawing so much and writing less…….. guys i promise chapter 5 is being worked on……��.

Despite John being mentioned a lot more in my fanfic rather than Abigail, I’ve always liked her more!! If I had to make a ranking of my top 5, it would probably be Jack, Abigail, Molly, John and then Lenny

i had no idea the tiger striped bay mustang was such a liked horse i was sure that the Hungarian halfbred would win cuz it was Old Boy’s breed

Also how come In literally every other country 8PM looks like 4PM in my country… I cant tell if it’s my jetlag or cuz it looks like it’s still morning outside but I’m finding it hard to sleep LOL

[dutchiepoo2]

I think he liked it idk
