One important thing I want to flesh out a bit more: I don’t think Dutch was always a bad person. Sure, his moral compass wasn’t ever in the right place, but in the beginning, he really wanted to do things he considered good. I love me some Descent Into Madness arc because it’s just much more interesting to explore and I think it’s just… boring to say he’s been like that since the day he was born. The fandom seems to be leaning towards the latter and I do get that train of thought, but on the other hand, it erases what’s constantly emphasised throughout RDR2 — many people from the gang keep repeating how Dutch’s been acting strange and how crooked his decision-making has gotten.
Back in the day, he wasn’t adopting every street orphan in sight like his name’s Bruce Wayne only to have someone to do the dirty work for him. This mindset did change in time when his opportunistic side started getting the better of him, but at first, he genuinely cared about anyone he was taking under his wings with Hosea. Especially since he’s met most if not all of these people when they were at a fairly low point in their life.
Later on, in 1899, there are only feeble remains of that Dutch. I’ve already mentioned how Micah was the turning point for his common sense, but I’d say his rationale was becoming questionable around the time his “friendship” with Colm sailed off the course. Besides childish pettiness, Dutch didn’t have a legitimate reason to kill his brother. But when Colm showed that two can play that game and murdered Annabelle, suddenly that was crossing the line. It all began revolving around personal vendetta and Dutch was willing to risk the lives of those he considered his only family.
At some point, it even stops being about Colm and the O’Driscolls. I still see it as quite a reach when Dutch was all up in this Payback For My Daddy™ moment, almost as if he ever cared that much about avenging his father’s death, but it really portrays how his way of thinking was gradually changing. What started as a grudge towards Colm ended with so many lives lost. Because then it was about Leviticus Cornwall, the Grays and Braithewaites, Angelo Bronte ( not to mention that poor ol’ granny in Guarma who fell victim to Dutch’s crippling paranoia )… If you look at it, Arthur and John also made it to that list eventually.

god i love doomed romances because it’s like. “what is grief if not love persevering” but the grief and love are happening at the same time. how do you grieve something that’s still alive? how do you love something that has always been dead? and the answer is just. intensely.

proseate:
“ i feel just the same, ” she replies, almost breathless with the thrill of understanding. no one else had ever done so, not like dutch. her sister was sweet but dull, content to move throughout her day guided around by their guardians’ imperious hands. she’d patted grandmother’s hand as she wailed and moaned about the state of the doilies, the same way she patted annabelle’s hand when she’d wailed and moaned about grandmother’s wailing and moaning. but dutch looks her in the eyes and smiles and understands and laughs with her, where she only knows condescension and placation. annabelle laughs at his false grief, a hand coming to rest lightly on his wrist. “ i’ll be sure to pass it along, she’ll be touched by your continuing consideration. ”
at his words, annabelle’s gaze turns suddenly inquisitive - perhaps apprehensive. is he only suggesting something because he was leaving ? he had been such a nice diversion, a handsome one - a passionate one. she’d like to keep him, but … well, the nature of his work -
“ please, i’m open to all suggestions. ” annabelle smiles to match his, tapping a finger against the exposed portion of his wrist. “ i fear if this heat doesn’t take me, boredom surely will. ”
EASIER SAID THAN DONE— Rarely is that the case with him. Living in his own idealistic world, where there is no such thing as dreaming too big and getting carried away, his boots freckled with tawny dust stay on the ground. Firmly. Or rather firmly enough not to let the risks fall in between the cracks ( many of them are certainly worth taking ). He’s started getting cosy here. More than he’d like. And all it really takes is her feather-light touch merely brushing against his skin to remind him of that comfortable yet terrible languor he’s been sinking into.
❝ Somewhere I’ve heard northern regions of West Elizabeth offer some spectacular views this time of the year, ❞ Dutch’s subdued voice suddenly drops even more into a whisper. ❝ You may need to grab your coat then. Unless I give you mine. ❞ With a sparkle of hope flickering in wide-open eyes, timidly he takes Annabelle’s hand into his. It probably would be easier to just say it, confess he has to flee before he becomes a dead man. But he needs his theatrics. For the sake of it.
❝ I— ❞ half-lidded gaze drifts off to the side before returning to her in a split second, ❝ I’d hate to leave you here. ❞

You would stand in the room so still sometimes, so wordless sometimes, as if the greatest betrayal of yourself would be to reveal one more inch of your character.

i know my activity here has been pretty spotty, but quick heads-up that it might remain fairly low. next week i’m starting to work full-time, so this week i’ll have some formalities and other bureaucracy to deal with — however, i’ll try my best to get at least some of the drafts done to throw them in my queue. if you want to reach me for plotting or anything else, my ims are always open.
be rootin’, be tootin’ and take care!
