#john marston #red dead redemption #rdr1 #red dead #pardner playlists #rdr1 spoilers #(...kind of ? i dont think the cover art or titles are spoilerly since they revolve around the literal first mission of the game) #(but the content of the songs themselves are certainly spoilery) #so... trin look away! #the cover image is from rdr2 but dont be fooled. this is a playlist about rdr1 john. because #i have so many feelings about him.... #this isnt my finest john playlist but its the one i feel i should post first #the music genres are kinda all over the place. theyre all 'folk' music but 'folk' is such a broad and nonspecific category #a few of the songs are bluegrass and/or have bluegrass influences but theyre still not as musically connected as i wouldve liked #but tbh i was just tired of seeing john playlists on spotify where the artists are all cavetown and mother mother ykwim #seeing lemon demon on a john playlist gave me psychic damage. #pardner posts #🤠

Lemme ramble for a second

So. Niche AUs, ey? 

For hxh-only readers: loona consists of 12 girls. The story built in their music videos (loonaverse) is not the base for this story, nor this is a dimension-travel case - each of them grew in this world. Some bits of lore and loonaverse girls (as characters of their videos) were used, but no familiarity required

For loona-only: shorter end of the stick, as some things would be confusing without any prior knowledge of hxh worldbuilding. But the anime has only 40 or so hours of pure content overall. And, technically, you only need understanding of the basics of hxh world 12 main characters and each of them has to have a character arc?! Pfffft, what a fool would bring such a curse upon themselves! Haha! Ha... That said, each girl will have time to shine and a character arc. It will take A While, but we will get there. Their arcs don't begin nor end at the same time, so focal characters and plotlines would take turns shining in each act

I do not write this with any ships in mind, except the… thing that chuuyves dynamic is. I am not interested in shipping, so don't expect anything (my own hxh ships are impossible here, so, whatever, if you see what you want to see - have fun)

Loona characters are mainly based on their mv and loonaverse representation, but there are also differences

Gon and crew are certainly great and important, however it’s not about them. But hoo boy, are they trying to weasel in. And, partially, succeeding Also, none of the girls replaced any characters from the canon. They aren't living in a vacuum, but no sticking to known families and backstories

This is based on the 2011 anime version with heavy lean on manga - some tidbits were lost in adaptation (and I am going to weaponize them) For all orbits, who are desperate for a non-shippy fanfiction, but do not yet have time or appetite to watch hxh - I see you. I know how it feels to settle for crossovers with completely unknown fandoms just to get some crumbs. So here you go! Wrote some basic information about Hunters here, no spoilers and not too detailed, just to roughly get what the title means But, seriously, hxh is good, go watch it when you have time Spotify playlist! It is for the fic in general, no spoilery songs, no specific character or relationships songs. Some of them are for the mood they creating, some are there for the text (DAY6 - WARNING! is a song for both readers and characters for the beginning of the wabrw, hehe)

Title is inspired by a quote from my favorite Richard Siken poem "War of the foxes" but taken from the second one (not as favourite, but somehow fitting): "He knows that when you snap a mast it's time to get a set of oars or learn to breathe underwater."

"If the window is on your right, you are in your own bed. If the window is over your heart, and it is painted shut, then we are breathing river water."
