Sean - Getting drunk at local football games and heckling the other team, claiming he’s not into Karen’s reality shows but then standing there watching the whole episode with his arms crossed while asking her about every single person and their drama, would most definitely be famous for yapping on Twitter, Derry Girls would be his fave show

modern charthur au where charles works at a karaoke bar owned by dutch/hosea (totally not a money laundering front btw…) and the owners’ hot son comes in every wednesday (aka cowboy night), gets plastered, and sings for like an hour straight (he just wants to see charles)

Random Slightly Unhinged Headcanons for Arthur Morgan: 🦌 (mainly modern AU)

Has low self esteem, so he constantly talks down about himself. But the people in his life that are close to him (Charles Smith) write encouraging messages to him on the mirror with sticky notes.

Really loves looking up at the clouds and stars. He probably draws pictures of what he thinks he sees in the clouds or constellations.

Doesn’t own a smart phone, and doesn’t want one.

Likes to pick up hobbies that take a lot of effort to learn and understand. But he always eventually gets it, which makes him a sorta jack of all trades. Some hobbies could include playing the piano, ceramics, and cooking.

Afraid of the government, lives in a remote cabin in the woods.

Thinks geology is really neat. Picks up rocks when he goes on walks/hikes so that he can identify them later.

Sings loudly whenever he thinks he’s by himself. He especially likes to sing when he’s in the shower, or in the car. Favorite songs to sing along include: Uptown Girl (Billy Joel), Southern Nights (Glen Campbell), and Brandy (Looking Glass).

Has a secret sweet tooth, probably orders apple pie à la mode when given the opportunity.

Has body dysmorphia, so in turn addicted to going to the gym an almost excessive amount.

Gets really excited about holidays. He wears ugly Christmas sweaters the week leading up to Christmas.

Loves Bath and Body Works, goes there for any type of sale.

Takes hot long baths after a long day.

Punched someone in the face during Black Friday for a new TV.

Cuts his worn out jeans into shorts

Loves grilling, owns one of those Green Eggs plus all the special equipment.

Modern rdr2 headcanons

Ik this has been said before but John and Javier are in a garage band together. Sean keeps begging asking to be included and they keep saying no

“This is it. This song will make us famous” - John after every song they write (none of them make them famous because they genuinely suck and secretly Javier knows that)

Even in a modern universe, John and Abigail have relationship issues. She’s fully into him (despite her better judgement ofc) and he does like her, but won’t allow himself to be in a relationship with her. They hookup occasionally

Dutch is very popular on social media and definitely has a podcast. He has a Facebook and Twitter account. He got Snapchat once just to play with the filters but deleted it because he was scared someone would find out and judge him

Hosea downloaded Facebook and Twitter just so he could follow Dutch’s accounts and leave “hate” comments. They both know it’s a joke and Dutch says he hates it but he really doesn’t

Charles and Arthur are dating. Dutch and Hosea are very proud parents

They have a golden retriever and two cats and they live in a cabin in the woods somewhere

[evgar]

she WOULD wear this.

[cod-dump]

Graves: Hey, Ghost!

Ghost: Fucking hell-

Graves: Hey, man! Feel like we haven’t talked in days!

Ghost: I do my utmost to avoid you

[isopodcowboy]

I just know that Charles and Arthur would both be the most dry texters ever

[nordiccowboy]

when you’re dating an absolute menace to society
