#i have never played rdr2 and i do not know who this is

[drgnflyteabox]

Imagine you're a sheltered woman from New York in the 1850s. By the time you're a young lady both your parents are dead, so you have no choice but to leave your cushy little family home, get on a train and meet your only living relative. You're kind of useless, bookish and naive. You've never experienced anything but comfort. Your uncle tells you he doesn't want you around, but as a woman you can't do much on your own, and what could you do? You're as helpless as a lamb.

Your uncle betroths you to a man in Oregon, and ships you off to travel the oregon trail with all your treasure (jewelry, bonds, antiques, etc). The only thing is that he can't just send you on your own- you've only been in the real world the past few days to travel to him!!! You've been an anxious little hermit, and who's gonna carry your trunk full of romance books?

Your uncle hires security company 141 to escort you through the grueling journey, and you're none the wiser that company 141 doesn't exist, but outlaw gang Ghost team does...

Anyways I neeeeeeed more western and cowboy 141 and I've been playing rdr2 lately soo

This could work for any of the boys :')

Gaz who's just like your fairytale men. Kind, considerate, kisses your hand. He gives you a little extra bacon in the morning when you whine and picks wildflowers for you when he sees a pretty one (like you). You're defenseless against his charms.

Price who's...... the embodiment of your daddy issues. Spoiler? But you grew up so sheltered because your dad believed your family was cursed, and made you scared to be in the world. Price is so big and solid and comforting, older and bearlike... you definitely could call him daddy :')

Johnny who's got you flustered and blushing the entire way, even when you're miserable, when you're beyond travel weary. He's carefree about touch and space, and for someone who grew up locked in a single space for so long, you're like putty at the simplest touches from him

Simon's a wildcard. He wears a bandana, which makes everyone but the company nervous, and he's always riding off. You rarely see him, but you're mesmerized by his pale eyes and pale lashes, his scars and his story. He kind of hates you for how you don't seem to know like... anything. He let's the others care for you, counting the days until they can meet up with Kate and abandon you for dead with all your ma and pas jewelry and valuables and onto the next robbery... unless (0)o(0)

Also the guy you're meant to marry is graves LOL. Your family is deep in the railway industry and filthy rich and graves is buying up land and planting vineyards. Hes getting rich off of wine :') that's the story in my head

Plsss forgive me if this has already been written!!! I had a dream about it and I couldn't remember if it was something I'd read, or something I thought up. I looked around tumblr and ao3 for anything but couldn't find anything. Pleaseeeeee contact me if its your idea, I'm terrified of accidentally plagiarizing lol

[ariseur]

hi love!! i saw that your requests are open and im here to help🫡

can i request some red dead headcanons/blurbs? maybe what their affection/kisses are like? arthur, john, javier and charles are my pookies (especially charles oh my god i love him so so much) but i would love to hear your thoughts on anybody really!!

hope you’re doing well <3

AFFECTIONATE - VAN DER LINDE BOYS

ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི₊ ⊹ notes - for some reason i cannot post rdr2 with my manga headers or cutesy pink dividers it feels so off to me i have no idea why 😭 but thank you for sending this request in, i love it sooo much!’ it’s nice to see another charles lover in this fandom lolol— you take care as well!! 🫶

ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི₊ ⊹ warnings - mentions of injuries in kieran’s and charles, kisses and kissing (?), intended lowercase, alcohol and drinking in sean’s, lmk if i missed anything!! 🫶

ARTHUR MORGAN who will put calloused hands around your waist when you’re alone in your tent at night, burrowing his nose in your hair as he lays behind you. you can smell his musk, the scent of the outdoors and faded linen, as it clings onto you with its tight grip and lingers. you don’t mind though, and neither does arthur; simply basking in your warmth as the crickets chirp in harmony with your soft exhales.

“‘ve missed you.” you say, your right hand crawling to interlock itself with his own draped over your waist as it fiddles with the soft skin there.

“missed y’too, darlin’.” you can feel his chest rumble with his voice, tone deep and gravelly from the lack of use. you let your eyes close as you savored the feeling of his hands caressing the small chub that gathered itself in his hands when he squished too much. you would give anything to have moments like these with arthur whenever you could.

JOHN MARSTON who’ll scoff as you pressed kisses along his face, sitting on his lap as the campfire graced your bodies with its warm glow. his affections held a more stand-offish tone to them but on the off occasional that he got a little too tipsy, you could never pry him off of you.

“if i’d’a known any better, i’d have thought you was in love wit’ me,” he huffed. regardless of his dumb comments, his hands never failed to find their way upon the dips of your hips, rubbing circles over the fabric of your clothes.

you bumped your head into his head as he chuckled, raspy voice rumbling throughout his chest as you halted your kisses and instead rested your head on his shoulder. your foot, bare and tapping against the ground in tune with the distant strums of javier’s guitar and karen’s drunken singing kept you grounded — kept you remembering that this was real, this was all real; and you were alive.

“why? you complainin’?”

you felt john’s cheeks widen with his grin. “naw,” was all he said.

two things that JAVIER ESCUELLA cherished most in this world were family and freedom; and he knew that he felt at peace knowing he had both of these things in that moment. you by his side, as neither of you had a care in the world. the sun glimmered and lazed around, taking its place on your backs and replacing the cool, dawn air with its heat. affection with javier is passionate and it’s scary, you never know what you’ll get or suffer the next day but it doesn’t matter — you persevere knowing you’ll find home in his arms a night more, you’ll live long enough to seek refuge and if you died in the process; it’d be okay knowing you died with who you loved.

deft fingers came to slide up and down the wooden fretboard along with his other hand plucking on the strings. you hadn’t realized you’d been staring until he peeked one eye open from under his bowler hat, a teasing smirk on his face as he mumbled, “no me miras con esos ojos, corazón.”

you rolled your eyes, “que quieres decir, javi?”

he hummed, he knew you knew what he meant — and you knew that he knew. but for now, you’d continue to stare, admiring your beloved that sat so prettily on that log; simply playing his guitar. he had his freedom, and he had his family right here.

loud laughs erupted from the obnoxious irishman known as SEAN MACGUIRE, a jug of alcohol in his hand and his darling in the other.

“i’m tellin’ ya, luckiest man alive—! they said they loved me, can y’believe it?” his accent only got thicker by the minute as he raved to everybody that walked by about how you had suddenly professed your love once more as you two sat on the barrel circling the rounded, wooden table. you smacked his arm to which he let out a rasping cackle. “shut up, will you?”

“ah, never. y’know ya love me,” he puckered his lips dramatically as you scoffed. giving him a chaste kiss, he groaned as you pulled away too quick before you went in deeper, seeing his eyes widen in shock before yours fluttered closed. he laughed out the side of his mouth before his hand, ever so gentle, buried itself in your hair. sean was a loud lover, one you’d typically be embarrassed by — but that only meant he loved you more than anything. a drunk man’s words is a sober man’s thoughts and he had you on his mind all the time.

CHARLES SMITH who’ll treat your wounds silently, as he always did except this time would be different. a tense silence would fill your tent other than murmured hisses and apologies due to the peroxide and other various natural remedies he preserved for your care. charles would always keep a level head, warning you not to go on jobs that micah would egg you on yet charles would always wait for you to return.

he never said anything during these times, charles loved silently. instead of telling you he loved you every second or having you on his lap like others, he’d bring you a trinket you remembered wanting from a storefront window or he’d take you out hunting with him; teaching you how to properly set up bait ( not in the reckless way that sean or bill would attempt to mansplain about ). he’d take care of you and he’d listen to you. so when you’d gasp and bite your fist from how badly he had to stitch your leg up, his hand would grab yours and bring it down to rest on your thigh — intertwining fingers as his thumb grazed over the crescent shaped marks your teeth left.

you really did love KIERAN DUFFY, seeing the way he’d try to puff his chest out when the guys at camp would look at you when really, he’d get all shy and blushy when you babied him. he wasn’t so used to this sorta thing, you know, relationships. everybody in camp looked at you like you were crazy, but they knew better than to tell that to you ( or him ), knowing they’d only get an earful from you about how sweet kieran really was.

you’d dress his wounds and in return, you’d find your horse prepped and groomed all pretty in the mornings — already fed and provided with water. and when you’d ask arthur or tilly, they’d always shrug and say, “must be that o’driscoll boy.”

you treated him with care, like no one had ever had, and that was the greatest gift in itself to kieran. he saw you as an angel, he’d even try telling you sometimes although backtracking a bit just to make sure you weren’t uncomfortable. kieran duffy’s affection was careful and nervous, stiff gestures presented to you although all of his worries melted away once he heard your sweet laugh. he didn’t know much about this stuff but that was okay, he’d learn just for you.

Arthur Morgan's Depression

(Warning: Spoilers for RDR2 and mental health issues)

Arthur Morgan is depressed. Yes, I know the writers haven't exactly come out and said that he is depressed, but it does not take a genius to see that Arthur Morgan is a man who deals with many demons and monsters. Arthur Morgan has some sort of functional depression, and it is shown in many ways. In many missions, he seems downtrodden and sad, but he goes along with it anyway because what else can you do? He talks about himself in such a degrading manner in the mirror, and not just in a way that we all do sometimes, but in a way that invokes actual hatred of himself.

He thinks he's ugly when he's a conventionally attractive man. He thinks he's dumb when he's very witty and smart. He gets knocked down for his intelligence a lot by both Dutch and Hosea (we, as a fandom, need to stop pretending that Hosea is perfect because he really isn't). I know that dudes generally joke like that a lot, but those two aren't his “friends”; they are quite literally his father figures. It's different. His journal is filled with self-doubt, pain, and a general apathetic outlook on life.

But as I was playing “A Quiet Time,” one interaction between Lenny and Arthur stood out to me.

“Why ain't you never married?”

“'Cause no one will have me.”

In the context of this mission, I think this was written as an “oh damn” kinda joke, something out of left field to make the player laugh. But after thinking about it more, I realized something.

If you guys follow my posts, then you probably know that I love to interpret things from a sociocultural perspective—so let's do that.

Now, this is an obvious reference to Mary and how she rejected him in the end for Barry Linton to keep her family satisfied. It might also allude to Eliza or other female love interests that Arthur might've had at some point.

But it may also be a nod to the culture of 19th century America and what it entailed for men.

Arthur isn't married at 36 years old. Men were expected to be married generally by their twenties. He has no children or legacy—the only one he did have died years ago. He doesn't have property or a home—he's always on the move with the gang (given how defensive he got with that woman he picks up to go to Lagras, it's probably a point of insecurity). He has no respectable profession—he should've had an honest career by now.

He hopes that Dutch will get his shit together and have them put their outlaw ways behind them, but Dutch literally cannot, and Arthur is the one feeling the burn for it. He has missed so many milestones that he “should've” reached by this point, yet he is still doing the same thing he was doing since he was a young teen.

He can't bring himself to leave Dutch either, as he feels like he has a debt to pay to the man (“I gotta try! I owe him that, at least.”) that can never be paid.

And that has to fucking hurt. You already hate yourself on the outside by thinking you're hideous. You hate yourself on the inside because you think you're dumb. You feel unaccomplished, like a damn loser. And on top of all of that? You can't bring yourself to let go of all the factors that make you feel that way because “they're family” and “they need you.”

You're trapped, and everything feels awful. I'd be depressed too.

It might also be another reason why Arthur is jealous and angry at John. He has a wife, he has a child, he doesn't feel particularly obligated to the gang (hence leaving for a year), he has a chance to do better, and he just doesn't care. He's reached so many milestones that Arthur misses not because he wants them, but out of pure luck, and I'm sure Arthur feels bitter about it.

It's just sad, man.

[verdemoun]

no you know what fuck r* because i am up to that one mission in chapter four again and i can't handle it and every time i play through it gets worse because YOU KNOW WHO ELSE'S SUFFERING IS NEVER SPOKEN ABOUT???? FUCKING KAREN JONES. and it's pride month and i love women so let me weep.

because jack's party. jack's party is probably one of the best characterization scenes in all of rdr2 i will write my goddamn thesis on it you learn so much esp if you follow specific characters for the whole night but like karen. poor karen, who's drinking is obviously problematic and was so long before sean's death but noticeably worsened as she went to the only coping mechanism she knew to process her grief. because she's hurting and the gang are so fucking thick and repressed they don't even try to remember the happy times with sean. they leave his body and his memories in clemen's point and she can't so she drinks more than usual.

and people notice. arthur teases her to leave some for the rest of them and calls her drunk. mary beth shoves her, trying to force her to go to bed trying to care for her while fundamentally misunderstanding why she's drinking so much or without trying to address it. but between the singing and the drinking and throwing up you know what karen's doing? she's trying to get kieran to join in. she's encouraging him to have a few drinks, to find that level of comfort within the gang. because kieran is her friend too and not enough people talk about that!!!!!

karen jones queen of my heart was one of the first people to change their mind about kieran. second he was part of the gang she treated him like part of the gang. she was a safe enough presence that kieran confides in her he's scared of the boys around camp. she assures him he's one of them, she's drunk and dealing with the unbearable grief of losing sean and she still wants kieran former o'driscoll duffy to feel included.

and then kieran died, too. kieran was killed. and no one talks about how that would've impacted karen. she cared about sean, he gets killed. she cared about kieran, he gets killed. she doesn't even like molly for the most part and sees her get killed. she's not some sad romantic. she's grieving and not coping and anytime things get close to okay she loses someone else and grieves more again. until she self-destructs and loses everyone she ever cared about both either by them having to leave to save their own lives or abandoning her completely.

rdr2 x autistic reader headcanons

saw someone else do this but i wanted to give my headcanons too! enjoy tehe... includes arthur, john, dutch, and charles!

gn!reader + no warnings / fluff

arthur morgan

arthur is so patient and understanding with you

from the moment you met him, you never felt the need to mask around him because he never questioned your behaviors or belittled you for them

if any problems ever arised, arthur would always be quick to come to your defense

hes very careful with you; he handles you like he's holding a butterly. not because he thinks youre fragile or incapable, but because he cares for you too much and never wants to hurt you

he also knows that youre sensitive to things and will take mental notes

if he sees that you cover your ears when something loud happens, he'll be sure to be quiet around you

if you express that you don't like how a certain food feels, he'll start bringing other options along to make sure you're eating

he's not very good at being upfront with his emotions, and you can't always catch onto his hints which ends up with you being confused

but he's trying to break that habit

all in all he's a very understanding partner who prioritizes you above all

john marston

lets be real john is also autistic

youre both very understanding of each others needs and its nice to be able to completely be yourself around your partner

in a relationship he can be very touchy sometimes, but he can recognize when you dont want to be touched. if hes unsure, he'll ask

he will wait or ask for permission to do pretty much anything

"can i kiss you?" "can i hug you?" "is it alright if we hold hands?"

hes definitely awkward but he just needs the confirmation

he is veryyy blunt but to you its a good thing

it makes me feel like neither of you have to worry about if the other is beating around the bush or something because both of you say whats on your mind LOL

both of you are trying to figure out this relationship thing together

from an outside perspective, people might think the two of you are moving really slow, but for both of you its a perfect pace

dutch van der linde

dutch is your biggest fan when you start infodumping

he will listen to you speak about whatever for days on end, and you'll do the same with him as he talks about whatever philosophical tangent he has for the day

hes so infatuated with you its crazy

you will finish your infodumping tangent and he will scoop you up in his arms and go,"you're so beautiful/handsome, you know that?"

like oookaaayyy huhehehehehhehhshsh

he will SPOIL you with things related to your special interest. anything he sees that he knows you'll like, he'll snatch it up so quick to give it to you

he'll definitely boast about you to the other members

"they're so INTELLIGENT and HARD WORKING...perhaps the rest of you should take a note or two"

he lets you fidget with his fingers because you like his rings

he makes sure that your shared tent is perfectly up to your standards

the feeling of the blanket overwhelms you? suddenly hes sending arthur out to fetch a new one

he definitely pampers you a lot and sometimes it might feel suffocating at times but not bc you dislike it, you just need a moment to recharge

you'll tell him you need a moment to yourself and he'll oblige

charles smith

the two of you love parallel play omg

you two will be completely silent while he makes arrows and you partake in one of your hobbies but its so comforting to both of you

charles will always be the first to notice when you start to get overstimulated, so he'll tell the others to quiet down, give you space, or whatever else you need to calm yourself

hes kind of overprotective of you, so sometimes you'll have to reassure him that youre fine

he just cares about you more than anything

now that im thinking about it charles is also probably autistic

he's usually very quiet but with you he'll never shut up because he knows that you'll listen and show genuine interest

he will craft things for you to fidget with omfg

he'll notice that youre very antsy with your hands or legs and one day you'll come back to your tent and see a small handmade doll sitting on your bed

"did you make this for me?"

"i noticed you play with your fingers a lot"

he's genuinely the sweetest ever and he will just have heart eyes for you all the time

[hydrangea-blossom]

I made a post about a RDR2 DnD campaign and in just a few hours I got so many positive responses: it makes me real happy and motivated.

So since there do seem to be some people interested, here it goes. If anyone wants to participate there are 5 spots, one for each character: John Marston, Arthur Morgan, Javier Escuella, Bill Williamson, and Sean Macguire.

Since it's a super recent idea I had, I'll need some time to organise everything, from the character sheets to a storyline and events. Sadly there aren't any (free, because we are poor and stingy) Western maps, so it seems I will have to create some. Luckily, yours truly is a graphic designer, so with the power of Adobe Creative Suite bestown upon me by the Lord, I will create some maps in RDR2 style.

I'll also come up with a story, but loosely, it follows this prompt: It's 1986, and John has just recently returned from his year away from the gang, which has made Arthur none too happy. However, Dutch calls our valiant heroes to arms because Hosea has gone on a job and hasn't returned for days. Where could our (very lovely and charismatic) consigliere be?

This post is just to have a general idea of who would like to participate. I'll create a Discord server for this, and we'll figure things out from there. Don't worry if you've never played DnD, I'm willing to explain people the basics and how it works.

Timezone wise, I am in the UK and I follow GMT+1 time.

Let me know if there are any keepers!

Being Romantic with Their S/O

Anon asked: Hello! Just found your blog and what you’ve written looks great. Could I request romantic headcanons or Javier and Kieran with their s/o please?

rdr2 masterlist

Oh heck yeah, lovely anon. I hope this is to your liking!

Originally published on January 14, 2020

Javier, Kieran x Reader (Gender-Neutral/Nonbinary)

Warnings: none

Javier Escuella -

He is a dreamsicle

Listen- I see this man as a mix of Arthur and Charles when it comes to relationships

If you remember the bar scene early on in the game Javier and Charles was a smooth motherfucker until Arthur ruined it lmao

Anyway- I bring up Arthur because in a real relationship Javier wouldn’t be as smooth. Why? This man is passionate in relationships and he wouldn’t want to mess this up with you

Sooooo that’s when the nerves come in- He second guesses himself- He calls in his inner Arthur and becomes an absolute fool but he will do that all with passion and no regrets

He will 100% do small PDA if you allow that

Since he’s one of the more quiet fellows though, he would be watching you work as you do your chores in camp

100/10 writes songs for you in his native language

Will sing them for the group since they have no idea what the heck they are about

And he will only translate when both of you are alone

He’s the one who is so incredibly soft with you and as soon as someone else comes into the proximity he’ll flip a switch and glare daggers into them- yearning for their demise since his special time with you one-on-one comes to a halt

If you bring drinks into this- he would be a sleepy/grumpy drunk

He wouldn’t care where he is or who is there he will climb onto your lap and pass the heck out

I also imagine in that sleepy/grumpy drunken haze he would be professing his love for you for like the tenth time in a row

Would melt if you just call him Javi

He’s up most nights so he would have no problem playing/singing a soft lullaby for you if you need it

Kieran Duffy -

Is straight-up a puppy with you

If it won’t cause you any inconvenience he would follow you around camp and just bask in your presence since he really can’t do much

It would be his honor to help you around

He would show you how he takes care of the horses, how he talks to them, just be a total cutie about it

Would have his self-doubts about having you- Is he good enough? Do you still think he has ties to the O’Driscolls? Do you trust him? – He would never bring this up though, you would have to bring it up and reassure him

He wouldn’t do PDA- He doesn’t want you to receive any harsh words that the others may joke

That and he doesn’t feel worthy, probably wouldn’t for quite a while : (

Whenever you are near him, he can’t help but be all smiles

Honestly feels like he’s at home here with the Van Der Linde gang if you’re by his side

Will gain courage with you as his pillar of support

Is gentle/sweet with his words and would always give you praise in whatever you do

Always has a compliment for you every five minutes

Thinks you are the most amazing person he’s ever come by

When he gets used to the relationship he would be brave and initiate touches

Once he gets used to the idea that you are actually is and he is yours, he will be even more head over heels in love

He knows all of your likes and dislikes and will always have a small gift waiting for you on your bed

Will always give you cheek and forehead kisses upon greeting you

Will love to share his newfound dreams and hopes of the future he envisions with you

He will malfunction if you share your thoughts of the future being with him

Will honestly think this is a dream for the most part

Overall, a good soft boi who deserves all the happiness

[mossytines]

Spoiler Warning for anybody who hasn't played Undead Nightmare yet, I know most have only played rdr2.

What's so sad to me is how John never gets a happy ending, even in a non-canon DLC. He still ends up dead in the same way, but on top of that months before the events of RDR he has to save people from a zombie apocalypse, only for Seth to reverse all the work he did afterward. He isn't even allowed to have the solace of eternal rest, and is reanimated into a limping, decaying zombie. Why do they never let him be happy. I'm gonna be sick

[bat-gwuck]

lmao so these two games have like nothing in common other than they’re both in my top 5 re-occurring hyperfixations but idc I’m having fun 😼👍

ong rdr2 and dragon age (esp origins) are my two all time FAVOURITE games so I thought ykw fuck it im gonna make a crossover AU - never done an AU before so NGL there’s a lot of kinks to iron out but I’m kinda digging it

started off with a lil’ character sheet for Arthur - I flip flopped between what I would make him (Templar, warden, keep him as a street thief/outlaw etc.) before finally settling on a mix of both warden and street thief/outlaw!! idk Arthur just gives me really strong Grey Warden vibes - a tragic hero (sometimes on a path of redemption depending on the origin/how they played it) who also has smth in them that will eventually kill them, despite having some weird benefits (in Arthur’s case, mentally)?? they’re twinning fr

I also just fucking LOVE the grey wardens so…

so it starts off relatively similar to normal: Arthur joins up with the gang at a young age, becomes a thief yada yada, and after a disastrous robbery, they end up camping in Ferelden, just before the Blight starts (unlucky)

for the purposes of this fic, the gang is only comprised of the camp girls (minus Sadie, for now), Dutch, Hosea, Arthur, John, Jack, Swanson, Pearson, Micah, Bill, Sean, Lenny and Javier - Sadie and Charles appear a bit later!!

shit goes down as normal but for story purposes, a heck of a lot faster, and the gang starts to fracture

seeing this, and wanting better for everyone, especially in the midst of the now upcoming Blight, which Dutch, for whatever reasons, does not acknowledge the danger of, Hosea (WHO LIVES IN THIS SCREW YOU ROCKSTAR) gathers as many people as will listen to him (everyone minus Dutch, Micah, Bill, Javier) with him and splits from the gang and heads towards Denerim in hopes of finding safety/starting anew

during their travels however, the group ends up getting caught up in a battle between a group of grey wardens and dark spawn - in which, because he has the worst luck, Arthur is nicked by a darkspawn which only means one thing: death.

(Literally just realising this is basically carver in the deep roads)

Luckily, or unluckily, depending on how you view it, the grey wardens offer to take Arthur back to Ostagar with them, they were impressed by his fighting skills, and arguing that the only way for him to live was to become a grey warden

after a lot of hesitation, and a bit of arguing, as he doesn’t want to leave his family behind, Arthur agrees to go with them and parts ways with the remains of the gang, promising that, once this was all over, they’d find each other again

SO I feel like this is enough for now! I definitely have more to write on this and NGL I might even write a full blown fanfic of this BC ITS SO MUCH FUN??

if anyone is wondering, Arthur will meet Sadie n Charles at Ostagar

I’m not entirely sure if I want Arthur to be the HoF in this AU?? I am very much planning on him being a prominent figure in the fight against the Blight and the Archdemon but idk?? ALSO there will be characters from both games in this AU bc I love some of them too much to leave out (I’m looking at you Morrigan and Shale…)

I did kind of want him to be a Blackwall type figure but like if Blackwall acc became a Grey Warden 💀

I hope you liked this and if anyone has any ideas for this AU PLEASE let me know I’m so lost 😭

I’ll be doing some more of these character sheets so keep an eye out for them!!

also Arthur absolutely nicked the fur collar off a rich noble

[untitled-writer-013]

Can I get a Javier escuella x fem reader?, where she is his fiance while there in the gang together, she is very close to Arthur and sees him as a father, so when people start picking sides and obviously she is gonna go with arthur and Javier goes with dutch and she's very upset and hurt , not knowing that Javier is pretending so Dutch wont suspect him so they can run away and start a life . He tries to talk to her about it while she threatens to leave him , and he Panickingly tells her about it and begs for her not to leave him.😊

An Unbearable Weight

Javier x Fem!Reader

warning(s): hurt/comfort, fluff, some rdr2 spoilers

Javier and (Y/n) were deeply in love with each other. If one had to be away, the other was longing for their return. But Javier asked his darling to keep their love on the down low, not wanting Dutch to know and force them to stay. His darling didn’t know this though, so she begrudgingly kept their love a secret, wishing she could be open about how much she loved him.

Javier did his best to make up for it though, taking her out on the town when he could, and sneaking into her tent late in the night, reassuring her that she’d be safe as long as he was there. (Y/n) loved Javier, but Arthur also meant something to her. She saw him as a father, having always been there for her, and had comforted her when she needed it. 

So, when things started to go sour, (Y/n) sided with Arthur naturally. She had seen how Dutch was acting the last few weeks, and she didn’t like it one bit. She tried to get Javier to see reason, but he refused, and she could tell he wanted to say something, but he never did. It frustrated her to no end, and made her doubt her lover, something she never thought she’d do.

(Y/n) let out a sigh, watching as Javier left to do a mission with Arthur, hoping they’d be alright. She had made some flower crowns with Jack, smiling as she watched him hand his own crown to his mother. She then frowned, wishing to have a child of her own with Javier, but was wondering if she even had a future with him, especially with how closed off he had been lately.

When the two men returned, (Y/n) had greeted them, now wearing her flower crown proudly. Arthur smiled, telling (Y/n) about the mission while Javier watched, a gentle smile on his face. He frowned as Dutch approached them, asking the two men about the mission while ignoring (Y/n). This made (Y/n) frown, deciding to return to her tent while they talked, a bit upset she hadn’t gotten a chance to talk to Javier.

A few weeks later, (Y/n) found herself at a standstill, with her and Arthur standing on one side, while Javier, Dutch, and Micah stood at the other. She never liked Micah, but she wished Dutch and Javier would see reason. 

“Javier, please! Don’t you trust Arthur? Don’t you trust me?” (Y/n) begged, wishing that the man she had loved for so long would see that she was right. Javier looked between Dutch and (Y/n), wondering what he should do.

“If you choose him, we’re done.” (Y/n) declared, making Javier’s eyes widen. He pushed Dutch aside, taking (Y/n)’s hand gently into his own. 

“Mi amor, please. I love you so much, don’t leave me. We can run away together, have a life of our own, have children, just like you wished. Don’t do this, I promise I’ll stick by you, please.” Javier pleaded with her, making everyone’s eyes widen as she nodded, tears in her eyes as she smiled, an unbearable weight lifting off his chest. She pulled him onto their side, the three of them running once the Pinkertons showed up.

They lived a long, happy life. They lived their dream, having a house of their own, with two beautiful children, who got to meet Arthur before he passed from tuberculosis. (Y/n) was saddened for a while, but Javier was there to reassure her. He’d braid her hair when he was thinking, sing to her as he played the guitar, and he’d tell stories to their two girls when they couldn’t sleep. He was a great father, and he didn’t regret his decision. 

~fin~

author’s note: i think Javier would ultimately make the right decision in the end, and he’d make an excellent father. <33

hello can i request me kissing sadie adler

FIRESIDE PROMISES (oneshot)

(SADIE ADLER X GN! READER)

⋆★ word count : 597

⋆★ warnings : n/a!

⋆★ summary : by the campfire, Sadie opens up to G/N, and a quiet connection begins to grow into something deeper.

⋆★ extra : sorry if she’s ooc! I don’t play rdr2 too much! or my pookie bear felix 😋

The crackling of the campfire filled the silence between the two of you, sparks occasionally flicking up into the night. The stars above seemed endless, scattered like diamonds across the inky black sky. You leaned back slightly, resting your weight on your hands, eyes occasionally glancing at Sadie. She was quiet tonight, her usual sharp edges softened by the glow of the flames.

It wasn’t often that you saw Sadie like this — the quiet, contemplative side of her. She’d become a fierce presence in your life, one that you had come to depend on. Not just for her strength or her unwavering loyalty, but for the way she’d somehow made you feel safe in a world that was constantly dangerous. There was a connection between the two of you that neither of you had quite put into words. Not yet.

Sadie stared into the fire, her jaw tight as if she were wrestling with her own thoughts. You noticed her fingers flexing against her lap, her lips pursed. She was thinking — hard. You didn’t push her. You never did.

“I used to think love was somethin’ soft,” she began, her voice low, almost hesitant. “Somethin’ gentle. The kinda thing that’d fade in a world like this.”

You stayed silent, letting her words hang between you both.

“But I’ve learned that love’s… well, it ain’t weak. It ain’t soft, neither. It’s fightin’,” she continued, her voice growing firmer. “It’s survivin’. It’s…” She hesitated, glancing at you out of the corner of her eye before looking away again. “It’s knowin’ there’s someone at your side no matter what.”

Your heart beat faster at the weight of her words. Sadie Adler didn’t often speak about emotions, not like this. She was a whirlwind of energy, strength, and resilience — but vulnerability? That was rare.

“I don’t know how to do this,” she admitted, the firelight dancing across her features as she finally turned to face you. “I don’t know how to care for someone like this.”

Her hand, calloused and scarred from the harsh life she lived, brushed against yours. For a moment, she pulled away, but then, as if deciding something in her own mind, she let her fingers linger over yours.

“You make me feel somethin’, G/N,” Sadie said, her voice dropping to almost a whisper. “And it scares the hell outta me.”

You took a slow breath, feeling the warmth of her hand and the intensity of her gaze. There was something fragile here, beneath her strength, something she rarely allowed herself to show. But she was showing it to you now, in this quiet moment by the fire, under the stars.

“You don’t have to do this alone,” you said softly, your voice steady, though your heart raced. “You don’t have to be afraid of caring, Sadie. Not with me.”

She swallowed, her eyes searching yours. Slowly, she squeezed your hand, a silent answer, as if she were finally letting herself believe that you meant it — that you weren’t going anywhere.

For a moment, there was no need for words. The campfire crackled, the wind whistled softly through the trees, and between the two of you, a promise was made. Not through grand declarations or sweeping gestures, but through the quiet, unspoken bond of two people who had chosen to stand by each other in a world that often demanded otherwise.

Sadie gave you a rare, small smile, one that lit up her face in a way you seldom saw.

“Maybe…” she said softly, leaning just a little closer, “maybe I could learn.”

[justsomeoneintoomanyfandoms]

Hey! I got a matchup a while back, and lately I have been craving another one😭 so if it's alright could I get romantic matchups for tears of themis, genshin, and atla? If not that's fine ofc💕

I use She/her pronouns but I've never really cared very much, I'm Bi but I'd like Male matchups for this one if that's alright (I love women but idk none of the women in these fandoms are like my type??? Idk)

Not sure if you use looks to pick, but I'm 5'7, longish brown hair and brown eyes, kinda chubby I'd say, and I wear glasses!

Ok so for the good stuff, I'm an enfp and a virgo and I have gad and adhd so I am very all over the place lol, I'm usually very energetic and loud (got called a human pep rally once) but every once in a while I take a hard turn the other way and do absolutely nothing lol.

Taking thing seriously is kinda hard for me, idk why but I'm very much the deflect and cope using comedy kind of person.

Personal life wise I'm the oldest of four (love my siblings) so loud is kinda the default in my life so I'm pretty comfortable in loud environments, but if I get a chance at peace and quiet I am JUMPING for it.

I have a few plants, I bake quite a bit (I make BOMB brownies), I'm very much a nerd lol, I love comics (fandom request gave that away tho), I play dnd, I love video games (rdr2, mk11 and mass effect are the current ones), I watch cartoons and build legos, and I'm learning how to draw.

I'm big into flowers and flower language, and I play guitar, alto saxophone, steal drum, and I have a violin I'm gonna start working on soon.

This turned out alot longer then I thought so the speedrun of the rest is although I dont often, I really like putting work into how I look (I just got a treble cleft claw clip with some dangly thingys and I like it I just wanted to mention that), no clue how to to makeup tho, I'm planning on going into communications, and uhh my favorite colors are pink and blue.

Thank you so much if you get to this

Hi Abby! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took a while. I hope you like your matchups!

In Tears of Themis, I match you with...

If there’s one thing that drew Luke to you, it’s the fact that you enjoy peace and quiet. He loves being in your presence when it’s quiet around. He just finds it soothing.

Definitely understands you using humour to cope. He does the same so he knows when it turns from just making jokes to coping and will check in when needed.

Please invite him to do gardening together some time. He likes being able to do something where he’s creating and nurturing life. It’s a good change from what he usually does.

Flower language is a big part of your relationship. I see Luke as someone who’s well versed in flower language so every bouquet he gives you has a hidden meaning behind it.

He also enjoys drawing so it’s not uncommon for you to find a sticky note beside your bed with a little drawing on it when he has to leave early in the morning. If you return the gesture, he’ll keep all your drawings in a safe place so he can look back over them.

In Genshin Impact, I match you with...

You and Itto are both the definition of human pep rallies so when your powers combine, no one can stand in your way. You can both be a lot sometimes but you get along well.

He also struggles to take things seriously so he’s a lot more understanding in that regard than others are sometimes. You just get each other.

In a modern au, Itto would be a huge fan of cartoons. He’s a firm believer than cartoons aren’t just for kids and still loves watching all those “childhood” shows.

In the same vein, he also loves Lego. I can’t see him being a big fan of tricky sets but he enjoys all of the bright colours. He’d love to make a set or two with you sometime.

I can see Itto being a fan of D&D as well. I think it might take him a bit to get his head around the different types of rolls and doing so much maths but he loves the roleplay elements and thinks it’s great fun. (I actually wrote this while playing a D&D session!)

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, I match you with...

You’ve got to be a certain level of energetic to keep up with Sokka’s plans. And you certainly meet that criteria. Sokka loves being around someone who can match his energy.

In a modern au, he’s definitely a fan of comics. He’s the type of person who buys two of every comic, one to read and one to keep in pristine condition.

For all his self-awareness, Sokka does have a tendency to deflect so he can easily recognise when you’re doing the same. He hopes you know you can rely on him if things get too much.

When he does run out of energy, there’s nothing that Sokka loves more than relaxing while listening to you play music. He finds it soothing both because of the music and because of your presence.

Please do lots of baking for him! Sokka will never admit it but he does have a soft spot for snacks, especially if you’ve made them.

Ohhh my gosh I’m playing rdr1 for the first time too! So far I’m loving it! Do you have any headcanons for John??

RDR1, for someone who has only played RDR2, I feel like shows how much John has grown as a person from the cunty little ass he was in the beginning of 2 to a wisened, grounded family man in 1. I feel like people gush about Arthur’s character development but in the scope of the two games, John’s is amazing.

So I guess headcanons for John really depend on what era you’re looking at.

In my head, Asshole young John is exactly that, selfish, whiny, running away from responsibilities, he wants to live the outlaw life and not have to care for Abigail and Jack. He shirks the fact that he is Jack’s father. My HC is that he damn well knows, but is too immature to really take up the mantle of fatherhood, not until everything falls apart. Not until shit gets real.

I think that Arthur’s sacrifice is a pivotal point for John, and though we see in the epilogue that he’s stumbled a bit, he wants to chase that dream of something more - with his family. I think that he loves Abigail deeply, he always has - even when they hated each other. We certainly see that she loves him, no matter how much of a deadbeat he is.

By the time RDR1 rolls around, he's living that life that the gang would never have achieved - that of peace. Until his past catches up with him. He’s a man, at this point, who has settled down with his wife and son, having left that life behind as nothing but memories. He's older, wiser, has suffered and lost and hurt in so many ways, the thing he's chasing at this point is so different from twelve years earlier.

Hi! I love matchups! Can I have a rdr2 matchup? :3 if you would like a matchup too let me know! (It can take me some time tho)

I am pretty social, however I prefer to spend time alone! I care about others a lot… To an unhealthy amount honestly but I'm working on it! I love to help others and make them smile, but I do wish I would get something for being so nice in return, yeah it might sound greedy but I want to be appreciated! And get something nice haha, like just a compliment or something, when my helping and kindness gets unnoticed I might get upset because of how tired I am and I just want to be appreciated like I said before 😭 I wanted to be noticed and not ignored! I care too much about what others feel and think and it's tiring, I just want to be selfish sometimes and care about myself even if it sounds mean. I also love being mentioned/involved in things, it makes me feel liked <3

My humor is definitely not for everyone, it's mostly the humor of a 12 y/o kid which can be annoying to some people lmao (sometimes it's funny how people are annoyed by it) and some other things depending on how I feel. When it comes to annoyance I also like to annoy people <3 it's so fun! But I never want to make them really feel bad! Often I act like an asshole but this is just for jokes! (but sometimes I wanna be a real asshole lmao) Like I said I don't want them to actually feel bad, if I do, I will feel very guilty! When it comes to it I apologize A LOT, I apologize so much that it might too annoying but I always feel a sense of guilt inside of me. I'm also VERY sensitive and worry about everything. Ah and I'm pretty dumb and I am not trying to insult myself I am just silly hehe and I'm okay with that. Oh and Im clumsy 😭😭 I have a low self esteem :((

I LOVE LOVE horror and scary things, I can't imagine my life without it, its just a such interesting genre that makes me happy and intrigued! I adore horror games and I'm mostly interested in them, however most of the time I am scared of playing them so I just watch gameplays and stuff like that haha. You can say I am obssesed with horror! (its funny because its easy to scare me haha)

I love to eat food <3 especially sweet things

I also love cute things! Plushies, pink, lolita clothes and other cute things! I just love it so much <3

I love pathetic men! 😍 I am not the smartest and I find high inteligence hot however I also love goofy guys! They are adorable!

I dislike cooking (I love when someone knows to cook however I suck at it)

When it comes to looks I am a chubby girl :"D chin lenght hair with bangs and glasses, my best friend says I have a "puppy face" ❤️

Ahh sorry if its too much! Have a wonderful day/night!

I was actually not expecting anyone to react in any way and request a matchup, but I am so glad you send your note! Thank you for reaching out! Let's get to it! More under "keep reading" :) [@karusenka - tagging you so you won't miss it!]

before I tell you who I match you up with, let me tell you why I decided not to pick other characters!

❝ yeah it might sound greedy but I want to be appreciated! ❞

DUTCH would probably not put you over his plans and his ambitions. No matter how pretty or nice are you, you would probably always be the second option. That's why - DUTCH IS OUT!

❝ I also love being mentioned/involved in things, it makes me feel liked ❞

I have a strong feeling that JAVIER might be too overprotective of you. He'd be simply scared of loosing you, always keeping an eye on you, not letting you go anywhere out of the camp. I feel like he could just go on missions and never involve you in anything except simple camp chores/activities. That's why - JAVIER IS OUT!

❝ Oh and Im clumsy 😭😭 I have a low self esteem :(( ❞ ❝ I'm also VERY sensitive and worry about everything❞

I kinda think that JOHN would be a really bad match for you. Sometimes the words he say can be really insensitive (I remember the things he said to Abigail when they were arguing in the camp...). I feel like he could hurt you by saying something about your clumsyness and he'd never actually notice that you're mad or WHY you are mad. That's why - JOHN IS OUT!

OKAY, SO NOW THE FINAL RESULT...I MATCH YOU WITH...DUM DUM DUM...

SEAN MACGUIRE

Seems like a great option for you! He might not be the best cook, but I'm sure he'd love to involve you in everything he does! Sean would probably care about you, always thinking about you and taking your opinion into account! You'd never get bored since this young man is full of surprises! You said you loved goofy guys, and if I had to be honest - I don't think there is anyone goofier than him! And your love for pathetic man? I'm pretty sure that he could get desperate for you pretty fast, just show him one of your cute dresses and he is on his knees, baby! I am also pretty sure that he'd love to listen to you talking about horror! He'd probably look it up/read about it (at least try to read about it...) so he could discuss with you about it :) Since he has so many people that he treats like family, he'd always go for advice from them after seeing you sad/mad and he was being unsure of what to do. Always trying his best to comfort you and apologize for any harsh words he possibly said. [He'd go to Arthur and be like "oh Arthur :( I fucked up again...! I love her so bad but I think I said something mean, what should I do now?" with sad eyes and lost puppy face.] He'd probably notice little things you do for him. And if you give him any handmade gift (like bracelet or something) he'd wear it 24/7 :]

Thank you for requesting! Hope you are okay with my matchup...Sorry if i disappointed you because you wished for someone else- signed Teaser 👽

How does it go when John and Javier see each other again? Obviously they have their interaction in rdr1 but they don’t talk about how bad things got in the last chapter of rdr2 and I’m curious if either one of them held any bitter feelings and also if John and/ot Arthur noticed how Javier pointed his gun at the sky, refusing to shoot either one of them?

Raaaaaah john and javier in timewarpppp

important context: i headcanon this interaction in rdr2 was actually a response to john asking javier to leave the gang with him, abigail and jack in a 'we had a thing that can't be a thing anymore because i do love my wife and my son and am entirely devoted to keeping them safe but i do still Care about you and don't want to lose you' and javier's response was like 'oh great so i'll be the little mexican peasant turned farmhand waiting for the big tough landowner to get bored of his wife and come fuck me?'

^^ in saying this javier didn't snitch to dutch or micah that john very much had a plan in place to leave because he was still loyal to john too. it was a great act of love to feel like he was betraying dutch but letting john have that chance even though he still felt like john was betraying the gang too

look i love me some toxic yaoi i'm the problem it's me

ALSO in timewarp canon, John did kill Javier and hand his corpse over to the bureau instead of taking Javier in alive. it was a mercy killing in a sense because he did capture Javier alive but he knew Javier too well and did still love him. he didn't want him going through whatever torture they had planned and he knew Javier was afraid as much as he hid it behind taunts and insults.

all of them lived so many lives between 1899 and 1911. javier timewarped, saw the gang and broke down crying like tears of relief to see them but also just the guilt and shame wanting to admit they were right dutch abandoned him the second the pinkertons turned up and he should have trusted arthur and he was a fool not to see through dutch and for arthur it's more of a 'oh shit that's right you were still in beaver hollow too'

it's not something that haunts arthur?? at some point he stopped thinking about that moment it's not a core memory for arthur. he remembers susan being killed, dutch still not believing micah was the rat, the relief of realizing john was still alive only to be cut short by trying to help his little brother flee and saying goodbye knowing it was the last time while still begging dutch to see some semblance of reason and do not go with micah. who was pointing what at who was a detail lost to memory a long time ago

javier escuella was no one's priority in chapter 6. and that hurts ME but also like javier being able to slip away because not even the pinkertons would prioritizes chasing him over hunting down The Dutch van der Linde. no one remembered or held onto what javier did in chapter 6.

javier is so desperate for the gang back and so willing to forget all the bad things and the dark years between 1899-1911. the gang are honestly pretty happy to just let javier be himself in a much more he wants to be rdr2 guitar playing suave loser javier instead of some dictator's hired gun

john and javier, however, is like. they still love each other guys they are the same breed of doomed as arthur and mary where it just would never work but that love is still there.

javier is sorry john didn't get to go back to his family. he genuinely feels bad because he knows john didn't willingly decide to hunt him down after 12 years (well maybe the gang had to fill him in on the whole abigail and jack were literally being held hostage situation but javier didn't hold onto that anger for long at all)

john very honestly says he is sorry for what happened in 1911 and if he had any other choice he would never choose to capture or kill javier. what he does not say is he has nightmares over the second he pulled the trigger and javier became a corpse and the angst of being so used to seeing corpses but the fact it was javier, having to carry him limp to the awaiting bureau car, the absolute psychological toll it had on him.

there is an intensely painful moment where while neither one says it they are both have the thought of 'well abigail isn't going to be here for three years do we - pick up with how things were in 1899?' cross their minds

But john is so in love with abigail and missing his wife and also having his daughter back having to raise her as a sole parent for 3 years until abigail gets there when the cumulative time he spent with jack one-on-one probably doesn't even add up to three years.

javier is having to redefine himself. he really doesn't know who he is being with the gang again. he half expects to look into the mirror and see his younger rdr2 self but it's not. does he really want to immediately fall back into john and what is for lack of better words an affair? getting to play house and be in a relationship until the second abigail appears and knowing he will never be john's priority over her?

damn if only there was some autistic irish loser who also loves fishing, understands the intense complexity of guilt and betrayed loyalty, abandoning ideals for the sake of survival, and could help javier learn he deserves better than being john's second choice

javier and bill though are also proper friends they get to talk to each other about it because both have very intense responses and different perspectives on beaver hollow. also hc they ran with each other for a fair while after the gang fell apart before splitting off because bill was slowly starting to form his own gang and javier was just tired and did not want to go through that again esp because bill was already power tripping.

Red Dead Redemption 3:Mac Callander's story

While I'd prefer the third game would be about either Landon Ricketts or Sadie, Charles and Jack, I do see the potential of Mac Callander as the protagonist of the story.

Rockstar gave many clues. Even though we never see him, everyone remembers him with love and longing, Bill calls him both a good person and heartless (this may be the honor system), and the fact that he was on the ferry during the Blackwater robbery is another reason.

Arthur was not on the ferry so we could not observe the events there. On the ferry were Dutch, Micah, Sean, John, Javier, Davey and Mac. Names like Arthur, Jenny, Hosea, Lenny, Bill and Charles were only present in the Blackwater massacre but not on the ferry, and this is definitely a reason for Mac to be the main character. We can see the Blackwater massacre and the failed robbery on the ferry through Mac's eyes.

In an interrupted dialogue, it is said that when Arthur's horse was shot at Blackwater, Mac gave him his horse to escape. This is a fitting ending for the main character of RDR. Arthur helped John escape.

John also helped Jack escape. If Mac helps Arthur escape, as in this dialogue, he will definitely complete his atonement before he dies, and we already know what happened to Mac. He gave Arthur his horse and was later killed by Milton. We will see Mac and Davey's brotherly relationship, just like Arthur and John's brotherly relationship. Mac is not the wild guy he is made out to be.

It seemed to me that Davey was the crueler brother, while Mac was the softer one. Milton told Arthur that Mac taught him philosophy, which shows that Mac was a philosophical character like Arthur.

Some people say the Callander brothers can't be the main characters because they're wild, but everyone except Lenny and Charles loved them. Lenny and Charles hadn't been in a gang long enough to like them. One of our main characters abandoned his 1-year-old child and the other beat a man with tuberculosis to death.

So Mac and Davey are no better or worse than Arthur and John. Mac could be the main character because no one talks bad about him. If someone talks bad, they either badmouth Davey or say "Callander brothers." Mac was probably disliked by Lenny and Charles because he sided with Davey, because Lenny and Charles never spoke ill of Mac. But Lenny specifically guesses that Davey started the Blackwater massacre.

Also, Charles said that the brothers were wild, they never talked bad about Mac, they only talked bad about Davey because according to the dialogue, Davey is a professional poker player, a brawler and a drunk, but there is no evidence that he is a bad person. And honestly I think it would be cool to have the brothers be duel honor siblings. Mac is high honor, while Davey is low honor.

Everyone in the gang, including Hosea and Arthur, misses the Callander brothers. Believe me, the people Hosea loves can never be bad. Maybe we can switch between Davey and Mac like in GTA 5. Some say we should play Jack's experiences after RDR1 or Dutch's story of establishing the gang. But neither of these are redemption stories.

There's no redemption for Jack and Dutch, but there's still redemption for Mac. At the same time, the Wild West was already over in 1914, so it would be ridiculous to play Jack. It would be ridiculous to play a character like Dutch who has no redemption story and is also the villain of the first two games

Some people ask how Arthur can be a playable character in the epilogue of the game if Mac is the main character and the last mission of the game is the Blackwater massacre, because there are 3 days between the Blackwater massacre and the beginning of RDR2. You remember, Arthur had a saying like this: "A friend of mine used to say: Revenge is a fool's game." In the Epilogue part of the game, the dead main character is avenged, but if Arthur says revenge is absurd, there is no need for him to take revenge.

Arthur doesn't have anyone he can take revenge on anyway. He can't kill Milton because Abigail kills him later. In a newspaper in RDR1, it is said that a character of the game, Landon Rickets, took part in the Blackwater Massacre in 1899. Maybe in the Epilogue, we can play out how Landon escaped to Mexico after the massacre.

We saw Davey for a total of 20 seconds, and we also saw Jenny in a drawing in Arthur's diary. And these two characters have graves, but we have never seen Mac, and Mac does not have a grave, and this adds extra mystery to it. It's like we are being given a sign by not having a grave for the 3rd game
