I am trying to become this, so. SO bad.

I love it when people take fic writing seriously. I love when it's not 'Here's this dumb thing I wrote' and instead it's 'Here's this thing I put blood, sweat and tears into. Here's this thing I slaved away at, trying new writing techniques and editing over and over. Here's this dialogue that kept me awake at night. Here's this beautiful turn of phrase I thought up. Here's this thing that I wrote with vulnerability and heart, and I am proud to share it with you.'

FOUL. NOT ALLOWED. THIS IS TOO EARLY I CANNOT HANDLE THIS HEARTBREAK

How it started/ How it ended

Charles Smith (excepts Micah)

[skullsandp0tions]

NO BECAUSE THIS WAS ME. AND LOOK AT ME NOW GUYS.

(I am hartbroken)

My favorite genre of online posts is someone playing rdr for the first time and going from:

"Ok, I'm in the prologue, and idk man, I don't get the hype it's kinda slow??"

to:

*screaming sobbing crying incoherent noises*

𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧:

Young Arthur is the kind of boyfriend who’d sneak you out of your house with his horse and ride off, no matter the time, up some mountain or into a field just so the two of you could be alone. Far away from other people.

⌗He’d sit with you how long you’d want, whether you’d have a picnic, or just stargazing didn’t matter. He’d love spending time with you alone.

⌗I feel like Arthur is the kind of guy to want to do big gestures, but get embarrassed or think he’s doing too much. So he instead goes for small notes, or flowers he’d picked during his travels with the gang.

⌗He’d fight off so many people no matter how much it bruised him up, as long as it meant protecting you. Even when you’d scold him while treating his wounds. It makes his heart flutter.

Adult Arthur is the kind of husband to still bring you handpicked flowers because he knows how much you love them, even though he could buy you big bouquets.

⌗He’s the kind of husband to wake you up with kisses on your neck, arms around you holding you to his chest.

⌗After leaving the gang, and the two of you got your ranch, he’s stayed with you every day. Only leaving once in a while to go hunting or go to work. But in reality he does it so he can find more flowers for you.

⌗He’s the kind of husband who still gets into fights to protect his wife, no matter how big. And he still gets scolded by you every time he comes home.

⌗If you have kids, he’s the dad he could never be. The dad he wanted but didn’t get. He takes your kid out on walks, shows them the ropes around the ranch, and teaches them to respect their momma/papa.

⌗He’s the kind of husband to doubt he’s still attractive when he starts growing gray hairs, :(

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡:

Young Charles is the kind of boyfriend to bring you things he finds in the woods, like pretty flowers that reminds him of you, or pretty rocks and shells.

⌗He’s the kind of boyfriend to make you handmade jewelry off of things he finds in the nature that remind him of you. Like shells from the beach, or rocks from the woods.

⌗He’s the kind of boyfriend that takes you out of nightly rides, just calmly riding through the woods and admiring the nature as it comes.

⌗He’s the kind of boyfriend that your parents like, the boyfriend they’d never expect to be in a gang of outlaws.

Adult Charles is practically the same.

⌗He’s the kind of husband to get you breakfast in bed with soft kisses to wake you up.

⌗He’s the kind of husband who still goes out to gather things he can make into jewelry for you whenever he goes hunting.

⌗He’s the kind of husband that knows exactly what you like and what you don’t, food, drinks, textures or colors. He knows them off of the top of his head. (Weirdly but also sweetly enough he also knows all your clothes sizes)

⌗He’s the kind of husband to spoil you. As if you are the most rare thing he’ll ever come across. And maybe you are?

⌗He’d still go out to help people, but he always made sure he came back to your cabin in the woods.

⌗He’s the kind of husband to let your kid play with his hair, considering it’s so long, he doesn’t mind them wanting to braid or play with it. And it’s kind of cute.

𝐉𝐨𝐞𝐥 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫:

Young Joel (pre outbreak) Is the kind of boyfriend to yell at your parents for you, when they’re being judgemental or rude.

⌗He’s the kind of boyfriend to fight anyone for you. someone tries to hit on you at school? they’re going to the hospital. No questions asked.

⌗He’s the kind of boyfriend to always drive you home, and walk you to the door before saying goodbye with a kiss.

⌗He’d encourage you in everything you wear. You send him pictures of your outfit? You best believe he is spamming your phone quicker than lightning. He loves his girl/boy.

⌗He’s the kind of boyfriend to buy you gifts whenever he gets even a slick of cash. No matter hie many times you tell him to save, he buys you things anyways.

⌗He’s the kind of boyfriend to talk about marriage with you always. ‘I’m gonna marry you one day’.

Adult Joel is the kind of Boyfriend who protects you with his life, while also watching over Ellie.

⌗He’s the kind of boyfriend who doesn’t believe in marriage, not in an apocalypse when theres so many things that could go wrong.

⌗He’s the kind of Boyfriend to hold you as close as possible when you sleep, not wanting to risk losing you for a second.

⌗He’d see Ellie as your child. Caring for her as his own, and expecting you to do the same. Which you do.

⌗He wants to marry you, but he doesn’t know how, not anymore.

⌗He’s the kind of boyfriend to bring you handpicked items he’d found stashed away, or to wrap your wounds in gauze, not letting you lift a finger.

⌗He’s the kind of boyfriend who when he finds tommy, introduces you as his wife. Even without a ring.

There is no way.

(MAJOR RDR2 SPOILERS)

There is NO fucking way.You’re telling me, THAT is how the game ends? How arthur ends??? With Dutch standing over his body and turning away?!?

YOU’RE TELLING ME RIGHT? THAT ARTHUR NOT ONLY THOUGHT HE LOST JOHN, BUT ALSO SAVED HIM AND HELPED HIM GET TO HIS FAMILY WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN THE EPILOGUE.

ARTHUR DIED THINKING DUTCH, HIS FATHER FIGURE, HIS PURPOSE, YOU’RE TELLING ME HE DIED THINKING DUTCH WAS A GOOD GUY, EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING HE DID??? THAT THE ONLY ONE WHO MADE IT WAS JOHN??

HOSEA NEVER GOT TO SEE ARTHUR SAVE THE GANG, NEITHER DID SEAN, LENNY, JENNY, KIERAN, NOT EVEN MRS.GRIMSHAW OR CHARLES.

what has this actually come to because I am BAWLING my eyes out.

Tell me why I sobbed seeing John come back.

Tell me why I cried even more when I saw that look on Dutch’s face when Arthur told him ‘i gave you all I had’.

Tell me why In my brain, all I could think about was the fact that when Dutch looked down at Arthur right then, he saw his son. His boy that he and Hosea raised. The boy they saved. They MADE him who he is. And now he’s dying right at his very feet?

MY FUCKING HORSE DIED TOO, ARE YOU JOKING ME?????

[skullsandp0tions]

[skullsandp0tions]

Let’s talk. (SPOILERS FOR RDR2)

About how Sean died right before they moved to a new place, his grave somewhere in a quiet place around Rhodes.

About how in the chapter of Saint Denis, Arthur lost almost every single person that mattered to him, Mary stepped off on a train, never to return, John got arrested, Hosea and Lenny both got shot and died, and Dutch had began to change into this unrecognizable figure that Arthur can’t seem to wrap his head around. Kieran died too but Arthur didn’t seem even as close as bothered.

Then they get shipped to an island. Charles is gone and they don’t know if he’s alive or dead, They get arrested, Javier get’s shot and taken away, and they all worry he’s dead too. and not only that, when he comes back he gets to find out he has a deadly illness that just progressively gets worse and worse before it kills him. And all of a sudden, Arthur isn’t so bad of a person anymore. All of a sudden he denies money from people he helps, he tells John and Abigail to get out while they can, tells herr Strauss that he isn’t welcome in their gang anymore from how he treats innocent people he loans money to, and he argues with Dutch.

And then Mary says they’ll never talk again. And they won’t, because the day Mary left him in Saint Denis was the last time she’d ever see him again.

Just to make it worse, let’s add the fact that Sean, Hosea and Lenny would never see Arthur become so much better. They’d never see him help the Native Americans with their cause, never see him throw out herr Strauss due to his brutal way of getting money from these poor innocent people.

[skullsandp0tions]

I feel like theres way too little conversation about this page in Arthur’s journal.

Not only did he lose a friend that was ‘like a brother’ to him. Not only did he SEE him die. But the image of his corpse was so engraved in his head that he had the ability to almost draw out a complete replica days later.

Whoever said Arthur hates Sean has clearly never played the game, because someone who hates a man wouldn’t mourn his death.

The way he wrote about him broke my heart and this sketch added on two whole pages was somehow even worse.

[skullsandp0tions]

STAN MICAH HATRED. HATE THIS MAN!

I am now gonna run to delete that ugly man from my gallery

(Update: I CANT FUCKING FIND HIM, HE ISNT THERE???)
