So I was wondering if you have any general modern head cannons for rains fall? Pretty please❤️

I LIVE RAINS FALLS OH MY GOD

Rains fall headcanons

Rains fall cannot sleep if Ef isn’t home. He never talks about it but if it’s the early hours of the day and Eagle flies just walks through the doors he’s sighing with relief

Cannot accept that Eagle flies has grown up

Like gets him things he liked when he was 6

Whenever he sees sonic things at the gas station he still gets it for him

He’s apart of the council

Whenever he makes food he always makes enough for Eagle flies just in case

Thinks mentioning his late wife and son would make Eagle flies understand him (SPOILER DOESNT WORK!)

HATES the way Eagle flies drives

Thinks Paytah is one of the best things to happen to his son

He knows he’s not his sons superhero anymore but he tries

Does that thing where he softly knocks on Ef’s door to talk to him

Tried to keep all of his late wife’s and sons stuff

On his anniversary with his wife and the death anniversary he always falls into a weird depression

Tries not to be around Eagle flies because he doesn’t want his son to see him like that

Takes anti depressants 💪

If Paytah falls asleep on the couch he always makes sure he’s tucked in

That’s his second son!

He loves Facebook

Insists on Eagle flies to post more so he can see more of him

One of his favorite things is when he hears one of his songs playing from Efs room

Really good at making roasted anything

Doesn’t see a problem in asking restaurants for their recipes

Has made his coffee the same way since he was 20

Actively dances at any powwow

You hear those bones poppin!

Get it uncle

He loves his wife!

Never past tense

Saw someone saying they weren’t happily married on TikTok

No!

He sees his wife in both sons

And he’s glad

Had a really rough upbringing because he grew up around the time residential schools were still having an effect on people

Used to be like Eagle Flies

All angry and he didn’t know what to do with all that anger

He’s still angry but he can’t afford to be

The little oil

What breaks my heart the most about the native story in red dead, all the struggles and everything was that there was no oil. Every native who died, every fight they fought, everything that happened, happened because someone made a false report.

Eagle Flies died because of a false report, he died because people wanted oil that did not exist. Rains Fall had to loose his last son, his last piece of family, because of oil that did not exist.

It is bittersweet in a way, karma I guess. "Haha, you killed those people so you ain't getting no oil," but also "those people died in a fight based on something that did not exist."

Rains Fall visited Eagle Flies grave by the resevation, he must have seen those still pumps standing in the remains of his home, reminding him that a war had been brought of them for nothing.

Make post about rains fall and his wife (pretty please broseph) (perchance with ef and his brother)

I LOVE MAMA FLIES

Rains fall and his wife headcanons

They have a 4 year age gap

It was one of those awkward “he embarrasses himself and she finds it charming” type of love stories

They pinned for one another for a while though

RAINS FALL WOULD HOLD HER HANDS SO TENDERLY

It’s all I can see

Him holding both of her hands so gently

Mama flies kinda always knew what she wanted and rains fall was happy to give it to her

When she was pregnant with their first born he would’ve done anything for her

Traveled halfway across the plains to get her her cravings

I bet she was like…one of the most nurturing people

Like being around her could heal me

Mama flies would constantly tilt her head to the side and rains fall loved it

She was more peaceful than rains fall when they were younger

He was angry and he wanted to end things and she wanted things to end civilly

It’s why he’s a pacifist when he’s older

Held her while she died

Sometimes when his fingers are wet he remembers what it felt like to hold her neck, attempting to stop the bleeding and he has to wipe his hands on his clothes to dry them off

Mama flies loves her boys but she wanted a girl next

I think Efs brother was older so I imagine he was insistent on ef being his best friend

Even when he was a baby his brother was like “he has to come with me and learn how to do this”

He was just so excited to be a big brother

Mama flies nuzzled her nose against everyone’s cheeks so now it’s a special thing for their family

I hate how we got nothing of her

I think her and efs brother died in the same attack

Idk if it’s cannon tho

the only innocent people in read dead redemption 2 were rains fall and the wapiti tribe.

i tend to see much discourse surrounding who was really innocent in the gang, who deserved to be spared. and, while we can all come to the agreement that some indeed deserved better, we have a whole other group of people that not only got one of the worst ends of the rope but just like the characters dismissed them, many playing the game also do.

the ride with rains fall it’s such a bittersweet moment. “brutality and beauty are both around us, yet so often we’re unable to see past our own grievances…”

rains fall was innocent not in a naive way but in a way of a man who had seen destruction and brutality; from such scarring thing stemmed a more insightful understanding of human relations. his fault was peacefulness, but in order to get to it much emotional intelligence was needed; “do not mistake my strength for weakness”, he was naive in the sense he believed the oppressor to have a consciousness, which they very much lacked. eagle flies saw the latter, however missed the former. falling for the youthful spirit of a tiring fight that could not be won, because there was nothing the government was not willing to do to strip the natives from anything that kept them afloat. wee see it throughout the game, the killing of the bisons, the burning and stealing of their sacred objects, the abuse, the obstruction of the vaccines. the government were (and are) greedy for corruption, greedy for blood and eagle flies, while acknowledging it, failed to see the extent to which they could go just to get their hands tainted red. something that his father did see.

so then we got some of our main characters;

dutch, who saw the gap and took advantage of it.

arthur, who also saw the gap and while he tried to mend it he got in too late.

charles, who i believe was a balance between both viewpoints from rains falls and eagle flies.

the tragedy and reality contained in this set of missions is too grave. it is not bereft of humanity, much of it appeals to the player’s human side. they are moving and unjust, even more so knowing the ending of them.

furthermore, this missions gifts us something about arthur that helps paint him in a whole new light. the death of isaac. this missions gifts us some of the most merciless parallels between paternities, what was and could have been.

eagle flies dying after saving arthur was nothing but intentional. eagle flies dying partially because of a moral code, “you saved my life more than once… to give mine for yours… it’s as it should be” is not but a reflection of the same crafted sense of pride we will see later on being discussed. eagle flies holding up to die in his father’s arms is no coincidence.

dutch took advantage of them in some of the nastiest ways imaginable, he too sinned of perceiving the natives the same way the men, he looked down upon in this ‘new world’, saw them. his moral oratory to bill was nothing but a vice when we come to the realization that he was no different after all from the other tyrants.

they were innocent not because they didn’t knew how to fight or stand up for themselves, but because they were actively used as a weapon to weld a man’s unruly plan and were never seen by him and those who supported him as much more than that. which, yes, also happened with the other characters but this was a whole community, a community that was actively and consciously led to its demise without even the entirety of it being on board with such plan.

thing is, the gang were criminals of some kind, from petty to violent. none denounced what they did to get money because that’s how they had lived, they were all accomplices. while truth can still be held about a few being more innocent than others, perhaps because they didn’t know any better, they were all at fault of their own crimes. rains fall and his tribe were not, they were perceived as criminals but from a colonized standpoint. even when trying to resolve their issues diplomatically they were disregarded and still held in low esteem.

of course history plays a big part in this whole conversation to reach further understanding. red dead redemption 2 portrays, as i already mentioned, legit ways the government pushed the genocide of indigenous people.

so, having this extra layer of abuse painted gold in the name of ‘liberation’ imposed by dutch only deepens the wound. us as player know he does not hold them in high regard, arthur knows it. the innocence i’m referring to comes from the context within the story they’re placed at. so yes, they were innocent and remain truly some of the only irreproachable characters within the game.
