I learned some stuff about Tilly Jackson on her fandom wiki page because I really like her despite how underrated she is and I was curious on her background. I read about how young the poor thing must have been when Dutch took her in and taught her how to read the same way he taught John and Arthur, and the headcanons started to flood in:

• She was easier to teach reading to compared to the unruly and hectic Arthur and John when they were younger and was very respectful/grateful to Dutch and his efforts in giving her somewhat of a foundation in education.

• She definitely had a sibling-like relationship with Arthur and John, despite how much older they both were, especially Arthur.

• Following up on the previous point; she may be an absolute angel towards Dutch and Hosea but I love to imagine that she had some sort of sibling rivalry with John lmao. John walking past a young Tilly and saying "isn’t it time you went to bed, little girl?" and Tilly replying with "isn’t it time you died, big fool?!"

• If Tilly didn’t know how to ride a horse (or at least properly), I imagine Hosea taught her how to do so. Imagine them riding their horsies on the fields outside of whatever camp they were staying in and just having a lovely time together. Maybe he would even challenge Tilly to a race to test her improvement 🥺

• Arthur taught Tilly how to properly shoot a gun/shotgun. She likely has shot guns before when she was in the Foreman gang but probably only knew how to just shoot and even so must have been quite flimsy with it, especially due to her young age. I imagine Arthur taught her the necessary basics and details of it: how to shoot and aim properly, how to deal with knockback (especially with shotguns), how to load guns, how to clean/look after them.

• She and John probably used Arthur as their own personal jungle gym one time when they were still young enough.

I wish we had just a little more of this dynamic in the game, I love the silly headcanons that come with it 😭💗

One thing I’ve grown to appreciate about the “Red Dead Redemption” series now that I’m older is that you can tell Rockstar approached this project as an anti-western. It lures you in with the promise of Wild West, yeehaw goodness, but when you actually play the games, you get hit with the brutal reality of this world.

Examples of what I mean:

1) The Mexican Revolution arc isn’t romanticized. At first, you think it’s a simple tale of the evil fascist government fighting against the heroic rebellion. But then you meet the rebel leader and he turns out to be just as bad as the government. It’s a true “both sides are in the wrong” situation and, unfortunately, the ones who truly suffer are the peasants (such as Luisa Fortuna).

2) Frontier life isn’t just shooting and action. It was also watching over animals, building farms and ranches, and trading with towns. The games really make you feel the monotony of doing chores and yard work, especially when John was in his Jim Milton phase.

3) Outlaw life isn’t romanticized either. Although you start off as a happy family, it eventually devolved into backstabbing, despair, and self-destruction. Even before then, your group aren’t the greatest of people, especially with the whole robbing people at gunpoint and shooting up towns.

4) Good guys don’t always get a happy ending. Also, every action has a consequence. John Marston had to learn that the hard way.

5) The racism. I feel like a lot of Western-themed media tries to skirt around this issue, or even avoid the topic (such as the 2016 remake of Magnificent Seven, which had a diverse group of fighters). Red Dead doesn’t pull back its punches. You have the Ivy League professor who treated Native Americans as subjects for his racist research. Abraham Reyes straight up calls Chinese people an inferior race. Then there’s the Blackwater short film playfully talking about the massacre of Native American tribes.

6) Along the same lines as point 5, the sexism. For example, there was the propaganda short film about opposing the women’s suffrage movement. And, of course, Sadie Adler not wanting to be relegated to cooking for the group since she can shoot.

7) This is more for RDR2. You actually have to pay attention to the maintenance of the horses and the guns. I’ve never seen this in a Wild West movie/TV show, and yet it’s integral to someone whose life revolves around horseback riding and shooting people!

8) Not skirting around the issue of disease, especially when healthcare wasn’t as advanced as it is nowadays. You can see that especially with Arthur and Abigail.

I think we sometimes forget that Dutch was just as much a father to Tilly as he was to John and Arthur. He saved her when she was a teenager. She had just murdered her former gang leaders cousin because he kept trying to sleep with her and she had fled to her mothers old work place (she was a slave) and found out she was dead. She was alone, hunted by her old gang and a kid, but then Dutch comes along, picks her up, not only gives her a loving family including the two teenage boys, Hosea and Susan but also teaches her many many needed skills. No she never fought with them but both her and Hosea likes dominos and probably played a lot and yet we never talk about how it affected her seeing her whole family fall apart and know she could do nothing.
