sometimes you need a break from sad and need to imagine modern au gang having a nice picnic in which they did not invite dutch or micah (who is convincing dutch hes being betrayed right now)im thinking

dutch: they’re probably all out there now…talking to those agents…taking the bribes…

then the camera cuts to arthur sketching bill and cain, who are playing at the other side of the field

hosea is aggressively applying sunscreen to sean because he wont put it on himself

lenny is reading and accidentally eating all the baby tomatoes that are meant for sandwiches

tilly and marybeth are making daisy chains while karen is asleep

john and jack are also asleep and john has wrapped his arms around jack, whos on his chest (abigail has taken 105 pictures and counting). they’ll be knocked out the whole time, they ate so much cookies and cheese and chips/crisps and cakes and sandwiches it was inevitable.

charles is laying on arthur and watching him sketch. hes not asleep though, hes just resting his eyes, trust me.

molly applied her sunscreen and is now getting the tan she deserves. she wonders why she feels so much calmer without dutch there.

there were horses in the nearby field so. you know what kierans up too.

after being attacked with sunscreen (hes irish and ginger, its for his own good) seans making his eighth sandwich with all the toppings. hes also telling everyone about when him and his da would go for picnics, and they find it quite wholesome so they dont stop him until he gets tearful.

sadie is eating strawberries and praying a horse kicks kieran or the farmer shoots him.

javier brought his guitar but hes eating, so he’ll play later. he cant even tell a story because his mouth is full of so much cookie.

miss grimshaw is protecting the food with her life from the pesky ants, seans legs when he constantly gets up and down, and lenny.

strauss is making the most ungodly food combos, he also had a picnic 20-30 years ago that ended in absolute trauma, so he’ll be sure to fill the gang in on that. lovely change from seans story.

uncle wasn’t invited. hes asleep somewhere in the field because he came anyway. he also took a box of cookies. (arthur thinks hes going crazy because he swore he bought another box but its nowhere to be found)

reverend is admiring the scenery, he finds it a good distraction for the early days of staying sober.

abigail is playing photographer for her kind of big instagram following shes not meant to have.

Some of my modern Abigail headcanons in theme with Mother's Day (because she deserves it ♥️)

John was still an absent father for her first Mother's Day and it almost broke her spirit.

Jack was still so young and she'd never felt more exhausted or lonely in her entire life.

That is, until Arthur showed up to her apartment unannounced to gift her a flower bouquet and sketch he made of her with baby Jack.

Both of them were surprised when she threw herself at him and broke down in tears (and Arthur's never been angrier at John than in that moment)

Abigail's told Arthur many times since then, but that small gesture saved her faith in others and, more importantly, in herself.

The first Mother's Day that John is present, he almost forgets about it completely until Arthur takes pity on him and mentions it (and even then, he only does it for Abigail's sake)

At Hosea's suggestion, John haphazardly makes a card with toddler Jack's handprint on it (a very red, very bloody looking handprint) and the best chocolate he can afford on his incredibly limited budget.

John thinks he's messed up when Abigail starts quietly crying, but thankfully the tears she sheds this year are ones of happiness.

Every year following that, John struggles through different crafts and more elaborate gifts with Jack in order make up for his absence and to show Abigail the appreciation that he finds a hard time voicing.

As he gets older, Jack gets more inspired with their craft time, which also means more of a mess for John (but that's okay)

So! Many! Flower crowns!!!

Abigail keeps every single craft tucked in the back of her dresser for safekeeping.

Arthur sometimes likes to jokingly remind John that it's his Mother's Day sketch to Abigail that's framed on their wall

(John will never admit how much it actually bothers him)
