I’ve literally been laughing at this for last 10 minutes straight

“ uncle “

“ Arthur “ * collapses *

If you combine the RDR2 epilogue with RDR1, while the series is still about John Marston’s redemption, the epilogue expands the scope by asking the question, “Can John put away his guns for good?”

Because the RDR2 epilogue was all about how John just couldn’t get away from gunfights. Although you can argue that he was pushed into those fights with the Laramies, you can also see Abigail’s perspective in that the fights were putting their family at risk. So, when Abigail leaves, John is forced to really consider if he can put the guns away for good. If he can actually pull off being a rancher. To his credit, he does try.

He gets the bank loan, he builds the house with Uncle and Charles, and he learns how to properly manage the property. Because of his efforts, Abigail and Jack come back. But even so, John just can’t put the guns away because he’s driven by revenge against Micah Bell. Although he gets his payback, he’s punished for it by Edgar Ross tracking him down. Ironically, karma bit both Micah and John here.

So, RDR1 continues the question of whether John can put the guns away for good. It’s here where he’s almost reached that point. But now, he’s being tested on whether he’ll be tempted back into a life of an outlaw, back into a life involving violence and danger. Despite everything that’s thrown his way, John continues his path of redemption/putting his guns away for good:

1) He’s put into the role of a lawman and is pitted against Bill’s gang, essentially forcing him to be on the other side of the outlaws’ violence against others. It’s through this that John swears off from the outlaw life for good, especially when he sees just how awful Bonnie MacFarlane and her family were treated.

2) Javier tries to use nostalgia of the “good ole days” to win John over. It doesn’t work since John doesn’t want the good ole days, especially since he has a bright future with Abigail and Jack. The Mexico arc was, in general, about torn loyalties. John was playing both sides of the war and Javier tried to sway John based on their past friendship. Despite this, John stays true to his convictions. He doesn’t want the life of an outlaw anymore, nor does he want to keep shooting people anymore (he even says he’s getting tired of pulling the trigger!), so he rejects the nostalgia of the old gang.

3) Dutch challenged John over his desire to change. Dutch believed change was impossible and that John would “always” be a gunslinger. He can’t be a rancher, it’s just not what nature intended. John, once again, sticks to his convictions. In fact, despite all of his anger towards Dutch, he refused to shoot him. John can shoot Bill and Javier, but it’s Dutch who he refuses to shoot. When I first played this, I thought it was his fondness over Dutch as his former leader. Now, I’m wondering if it’s also John trying to prove his point. That he CAN change, that he CAN put the guns away. So he does, even when he had Dutch cornered.

Then came the final challenge. Jack Marston brings up the topic of “the day John Marston stopped shooting”. What will it take? John finally does, but in more than one way. Obviously, he puts the guns away since he dies. But John could’ve easily escaped. We’ve done it as the player multiple times. But if he did, it would be a return to a life on the run, a life where Abigail and Jack would always be in danger. The same life that made Abigail take Jack and leave John in the RDR2 epilogue. Everything he’s worked for, all the progress he made in changing his life would be ruined.

So, John makes the hard choice. He sacrifices himself to ensure his family would be safe. He refuses to return to the outlaw life, to a life where he has to shoot at people, even if it means his death. And what is the last thing John does?

He throws away his gun.

I thought uncle was the type to be on his knees with his fist up raging at the sky yelling "damn you lumbago" but now that i have thought about it it's definitely too much hard work for uncle.

Need people to stop making uncle out to be just lumbago because he's too funny of a character for that to be his only joke

[sketchnskribbles]

Sorry for being so inactive as of late 😭. Life has taken me by the reins and told me to “neigh” neigh.

So, here’s a shirt design I’m making for my awesome cousin/bestie/lil bro. He absolutely adores RDR, and wanted me to create some of the gang enjoying the Tahitian Life.

I left a bit of a reference to another fandom in here. Let me know if you can guess it💙

In another universe after the final misson John runs away with family thinking Arthur has passed.

But dissoriented Arthur is woken up on the hill by Charles.

They put themselves together but in the end decide to separate because it is still too dangerous to be together. Thruthfully, Arthur is still not sure if he will make it.

Several years later, Arthur arrives in Blackwater after getting into a bar fight somewhere more north, running from law attention. TBC is still there, but he has been living an calmer life under an alias.

Who he happens to meet there shopping for a barn? John and Uncle.

They hug, the laugh, they curse at uncle and suddenly there's more help at the ranch.

And while Arthur does get weaker by everyday, he stops them from going after Micah.

Because revenge is a fool's game.

Because Abigail is right, John has too much to loose.

Sadie ends up only casually mentioning Micah to other bounty hunters. Do they end up killing Micah? They do not know, but Sadie likes to think they did.

John Marston doesn't meet Dutch ever again.

Pinkertons never find them.

Jim Milton lives on.

And so does Fenton, because Hosea would've like that.

NOTE: Keeping with the genre, I excluded Arthur and John since the protagonists are always going to be human (or, if they are an alien, a very human-like alien race that makes you wonder why the creator even bothered to make them an alien).

Jack is excluded as well since he’d be half-human at minimum.
