This photo is so silly to me because Dutch and Hosea really went "We should totally get a professional photo taken of us and our 16 year old adopted son who we found on the street" and Arthur agreed

Whenever there's a piece of headcanons or fan art or something like that where Arthur is in the main focus and John is there to annoy him for whatever reason and vice versa when something is about John and Arthur bullying him, it always gives me this fuzzy feeling bc Yes ofc, on the one hand, they're grown ass man, outlaws, very intimidating people but in the other hand yah Arthur is still just big bro to crusty wolf child, And I think it's awesome

arthur is hosea’s favourite child and john is dutch’s favourite child BUT

when arthur first arrived dutch was the one who helped arthur adjust to their lifestyle. he was the one who would read books at night to help arthur sleep and help him realise that him that not all touch is harmful.

whereas when john first arrived, hosea was the one who helped him adjust to their lifestyle. he was the one who taught john how to take care of himself and taught john that it was ok to be calm rather than constantly hyped up.

but yet somehow each child ended up being the others favourite.

Hosea's Perm

So let me get straight to the point, I literally cannot draw Hosea without curly hair. The perm is a must, and I just love the idea. So I would love to share the idea on what I'd think would happen and how he got it.

Hosea probably got his perm when he was just a bit younger, (Arthur was 27 and John was 15, just a random time.) Dutch recommended Hosea to get his hair trimmed, because he noticed how long it was getting. And Hosea would agree, except he wouldn't get a trim, instead he got a perm. (And mind you, the machine that they use to perm your hair back then looks madly terrifying..) The barber had a perm machine (the vintage one of course) and Hosea got curious and wanted to try whatever he thought the machine would do.

Hosea would come back to Dutch and the others. But the reactions are anything but nice. Dutch would circle around him like a shark, trying to examine what exactly he did to his hair and have a super confused look on his face.

"What happened? I thought you'd trim it?"

While it's a whole different reaction from Arthur and John, they'd snicker and giggle at him for having a perm. Probably make fun of him a bit and tell him that he looks like an old lady.

"why'd you get a 'ladies haircut?'"

But of course, Hosea wouldn't mind. He actually likes his new hair style, he thinks it makes him stand out. Even if John and Arthur keeps telling him that it's goofy or even if Dutch gave him confused looks. But they would eventually forget about it, and they would get used to Hosea just having a perm. <3

I'LL PROBABLY DRAW THIS LATER ‼️

Every day I think I'm normal and then I remember like 7 vandermatthews scenes rapid fire and I have to stop and sit down for a while to recover

#turtledove yells into the abyss #'the curious couple and their unruly son' hosea matthews what did you mean by this

[nthspecialll]

I think we should talk more about the story Dutch tells when the curious couple and their unruly son is out fishing.

Dutch: "Hosea, remember that time we sent Arthur out finish and he came back with three beautiful bass?"

Arthur: "not this again..."

MEANING DUTCH HAS TOLD THIS STORY SEVERAL TIMES!!

Anyways he proceeds to say that they partied over those fish and FEASTED but the next day they were at thr market and a fishlady asked "so how did you enjoy those bass?"

It warms my heart so much because I can definitely picture 21 year old Arthur standing by a river getting all grumpy because he isnt catching anything and then just in secret going to a market, embrassedly trying to hide his fishing equipment as he buys the fish, and imagine the fucking blush on his face when he was found out😭 Arthur I love you so much.

Woven Together

Pairing: Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley x AFAB!GN!Reader

Author’s notes: Ough I am a sucker for domestic Simon. Honestly, after all he’s been through I feel like he would be a wonderful father and would want to be one, too. To set an example and show that he can and will be different from what his father was. Oops I’m getting carried away, I just love letting characters heal lol. Thank you for your request! Also…Gender neutral names for a parent are kinda hard to find, lol.

CRASH

The sound echoes throughout the house. Your feet are moving before your brain realizes. You clutch the sling that your infant is nestled into close to your chest, trying to keep them asleep while rushing to your other child. You begin to hear them starting to cry and quicken your pace.

You round the corner into the living room, spotting your child. Your oldest, your son, is in the stage known as the “Terrible Twos,” which is an understatement. He’s so curious, getting into any and everything and it’s hard to keep up with him now that you’ve had your other child, your daughter. She’s just turned four months old, still quite small and sleeping throughout most of the day with feedings every couple hours. You have her in a sling secured around your chest while you made lunch for your son, before the sudden loud noise occurred. 

You see now what’s caused the loud racket and his sobbing. The lamp that was on the end table is now broken on the floor, likely due to him running and bumping into it. “Uh oh!” You exclaim, coming towards him with outstretched hands. He runs into your embrace, while hiccupping an “Uh oh” back to you. It’s something you’ve been able to teach him to say when something like this occurs, whenever he makes a mistake or gets hurt, you’ve realized it helps him calm down and to let him know that accidents happen and he isn’t in trouble.

While cooing in his ear and rubbing his back, you hear keys slide into the lock at the front door. Your head snaps to the sound and you watch your husband, Simon, walk inside. He had been able to be at home for the birth of your daughter through paternity leave, but had to leave again after those six weeks ended. He had been gone for a month now and you were so glad to have him home again. Your son also looks toward the sound, now excited at seeing his father home. “Dada!” He yells, rushing towards him. 

He sets his duffle bag aside and crouches down with his arms wide. “Hello, my boy!” He says, scooping him up and hugging him. You beam at the display, before making your way to them both. “Hello to you, too, my loves, " He says, bending down and giving you a quick kiss to the lips, before crouching further to plant one on his daughter’s head. He holds your cheek in his hand, studying your face. He must notice the bags under your eyes, unruliness of your hair, the rumpled clothing. You wince. “Darling…” He trails off, narrowing his eyes at you. 

 “It’s been a rough month without you, honey,” You answer honestly. No use in hiding it, you reckoned, for it was bare to his eyes. “Sit.” Simon instructs you, putting an arm around you, directing you towards the couch. You take a seat, while he sets your son down. “Hold Esther while I put the sling on,” He says, waiting for you to hand it to him. You look up at him, confused. “You need rest, love. Let me watch the children while you relax.” “But you just got back from a mission–” He stops you by cupping your face in his hands. “No arguing. Now, the sling, please.” You grumbled under your breath while slipping your daughter out from the cloth.

After unwrapping yourself from the sling, you hand it to Simon, who begins to place it around himself. Once finished, he scoops up Esther and places her against his chest, safely securing her inside its hold. She begins to fuss, but soon settles after Simon begins rubbing her back and cooing to her. You can’t help but smile at the display, your heart full of love and warmth for your little family. 

Simon grabs your son’s hand. “Timothy, we’re going to let Mapa take a break, alright? Let’s go have ourselves a snack, yeah?” Your son eagerly nods his head, tugging him towards the kitchen. Simon looks back at you with a smile, “Enjoy your break, darling.” “Thank you, Simon. I love you.” “Love you more.” You stand up from the couch and head towards yours and Simon’s room. Slipping into your pajamas, you crawl into bed, sleep gently taking you. 

Waking with a start after feeling the bed shift, you feel arms wrap around you. “Simon?” You asked groggily, looking over your shoulder. “It’s me, love. How was your nap?” “It was wonderful, thank you, honey.” You sit up and wipe the sleep from your eyes, blinking a few times as your eyes adjust to the dark, slivers of moonlight poking through the curtains. “How long did I sleep for?” You asked, remembering it was around one o’clock in the afternoon when Simon arrived home. “It’s nine now,” He replies, running his fingers through your hair. Nine?! 

“Oh my Lord, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to sleep that long, I must’ve been worn slap out.” You feel guilt gnawing at you for leaving Simon alone with the children for so long, before he says, “It’s fine, didn’t want to disturb your rest, you needed it.” He kisses the back of your hand. “The children are asleep, just me and you now.” Oh. You return to his hold, wrapping your arms around his neck and pull him into a kiss. 

“What would I do without you, Simon? Thank you for today,” You say, now running your hands through his short blond locks. He hums with a grin, “Bare minimum I could do, was glad to have the time with the little ones anyways.” He was never one to accept praise. “Now, I want to spend my time with my spouse. Are you hungry?” The mention of food causes your stomach to growl, loudly. You both laugh, before Simon pulls you from bed. “Let’s order some takeout and watch a movie, yeah?” You grin and nod, excited at the prospect of an at-home date with your husband. 

After ordering food, you settle down to wait for the delivery, nestled against each other on the couch. You lay down while Simon’s situated against you, his head on your chest while holding you close. You don’t take for granted the time you have with Simon. Always glad to be in his company. It’s times like these you cherish the most, able to make the most of the time allotted to you two. “I love you,” You whisper to him, brushing your fingers against his cheek. He turns his head up to stare into your eyes, his honeyed gaze filled with adoration. “Love you most.”
