#I am so sorry dutch

“the best way to play arthur is low honor until the TB diagnosis and then high honor bc after that he realizes how little time he has left and wants to make things right and redeem himself before he goes” yes that makes sense and seems like a great idea story wise and more impactful but also have you considered that being mean in video games makes me feel bad

#grimshaw or pearson or dutch: i noticed you haven’t been helping around camp (disappointed face) #me in tears while donating 100s to the box and chopping wood: i’m so sorry forgive me #what am i supposed to do if someone tells me their horse died and they need me to take them somewhere inconvenient #say NO????? #rdr2 arthur #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #arthur morgan

i find it funny the way women are crucified for the way they consume media. women can't like a band without wanting to fuck one of the members. they can't like a video game without "ignoring a characters' writing" just because they think they're hot. they can't read a book without smut in it and, if they do, they only read it to look "intellectual" and above women who do read erotic fiction. everything a woman likes has to have an ulterior motive or some underlying meaning. according to men, a woman cannot like anything in the same way they like it. women like things because the people in it are hot. a woman's brain cannot comprehend the way men think so deeply about the things they like. women just play a game and giggle and kick their feet when their fave comes on screen. and then they'll go on tiktok and post about said character and how hot they are without knowing how well written the character is. but, a man can do it to a woman. that's allowed. they can edit innocent pictures of characters with big tits and a big ass and cum all over it and that's okay. women...no. fanfiction is disgusting. that's oversexualising our big, strong, male characters that represent just how alpha we are. we can't have that. women are stupid. why can't they think as deep as we can?

#rant sorry #this is mainly about arthur morgan #and leon kennedy #and the people who say girls who want a metalhead bf are cringe #they are in a way #but a man can say he wants a goth gf all he wants #there's so many double standards its ridiculous #you think that dutch van der linde went crazy because he hit his head #that's your media literacy #i say he's hot once and i am completely disregarding his writing???? #i haven't said all i wanted to say about this #but if i keep going i won't stop #arthur morgan #leon kennedy #dutch van der linde #red dead redemption 2 #resident evil #joel miller #the last of us #metal

Real Emotional Labor Hours

#like. #i say ONE slightly emotionally vulnerable thing in a Christmas card. that is IT! #and then the next day i’m just unsuspectingly chillin - flipping through my Grammy’s book of Dutch oven recipes #and suddenly i’m being poked in the arm and whisked away to my Grandpa’s office because everything is a business meeting to him #and he’s crying (i have never seen him cry before) and having this insane joint conversation wherein he says he thinks i’m gonna die of hrt #and also gives me the hospital bracelet that was cut off my father’s dead body???? #so like. ?????? UH!!!!!!!!! #and this was like. RIGHT before dinner - for the record #so obviously i’m doing GREAT and super normal #and if you ever wondered why i’m Like This - this is why #i was assigned Haunted at eight months old #and all i can do about it is explain hrt to my Grandpa so that he maybe stops being so fucking weird about it!!!!!!! #jesus CHRIST. #one (1) normal holiday family gathering PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! #I AM NO LONGER FUCKING ASKING #death // #sorry just realized i should tag that #ughhhhh

Today I, an aromantic, was getting ready to attend a wedding… with Stranger on repeat.

#the mechanisms #stranger #ttbt2 #i knew what i was doing when i put it on but also i am working on an addtion to my brian-jonny foils post so i was thinking about brian #its always sad brian hours #i cant really read that song separate from him anymore. honestly not sure i ever could but. its just so unconnected from anything else.- #actaea and lyssa is pretty disconnected. but its still almost certainly on the city. alice is pretty disconnected but its a result of- #king cole’s war. the most disconnected songs are redeath. the ignominious demise of dr pilchard. drop dead. hereward the wake. and stranger- #(and frankenstein but i consider that its own thing). and redeath and drop dead are my least favorite mechs songs.dr pilchard i didnt- #really care for for quite a while. stranger has so few words in it. it’s my favorite song. but the story is minimal fron the song (ie w/o- #knowing the crane wife story) so making a story around it sort of makes sense? im having a hard time with the words here. like we expect a- #story. cause that’s what the mechs do. and stranger has a story. it just doesnt have context and so creatong that context for ourselves is- #understandable. to be expected even. hope that makes sense #side note: i think it would make sense for hereward to have been from the same place (system I guess) as the people that made- #fort galfridian. i mean hereward was more of a real person than arthur (since there was no one person arthur was based on. like thats a- #whole thing) and hereward was anglo-dutch. so it makes sense hed be related to that story somehow #its just a theory. obviously. theres nothing in the songs connecting the too as far as im aware. #OH also achilles pointed out to me the anti-amatonormative/aromantic reading of stranger and i liked that a lot #hereward was anglo-danish. not anglo-dutch. sorry danish and dutch people

I'm replaying rdr2 rn and usually I leave every micah mission for the last possible moment just so that I can have as much time with him gone as possible. this time I didn't. doing that made me notice that Micah????? Tried??? To get more people to like him?? Arthur included?

Im not saying that in a "aw poor guy" kind of way. It's very obvious that it's slimy. The girls he wants to like him for obvious reasons. Anyone who's not white he Doesn't do this to and is actively antagonistic towards. But Micah tries to get Arthur to like him in the same way he gets Dutch to like him. He tries to talk to Arthur friendly MULTIPLE times, and every time arthur (rightfully) shuts him down. He showers him in compliments and thanks and good job opportunities. He even donates pretty decent money to the camp funds. Not as often as other people, but when he donates it's like 10 dollars as opposed to other peoples 1 dollar. (Funnily enough, I noticed this bc I always donate 10 dollars at a time no matter how much money I have, just so I'm not harassed for not donating in 4 days when the last time I donated 1000.) It's only after arthur shuts him down so often that Micah tries to get rid of him.

But here's the thing. Micah is shitty towards the people arthur loves, and that's a deal breaker for him no matter how much micah tries to butter him up. Charles and lenny are both people that Arthur shows massive respect and appreciation for. They work hard, don't escalate situations in a way that endangers the gang, and they don't consider some lives as fundamentally above others. and micah, who does none of those things, is just a racist asshole towards them. Arthur feels a responsibility towards the girls, and micah harasses them. EVERY time you talk to one of the girls after micah does, arthur asks them to let him know if they want him to do anything about it. (I actually have no idea what he's like towards Tilly, as I've never had an interaction between the two, but I highly doubt it would be good.) He's creepy towards jack, but I'm genuinely not sure if he's like that from the start or only after arthur had turned him down so much. AND: hosea doesn't like him. Hilariously I think that alone would be enough for arthur to hate him as well.

Funnily enough, all this combined makes me think of Dutch more than anyone else. For Arthur, fucking with the people he loves is a deal breaker. For Dutch, it's not. At least, it's not until it's too late for anyone to be saved, Dutch himself included.

#rdr #rdr2 #micah bell #arthur morgan #sorry don't mind me I'm falling into madness again #for those curious (0 people) I released him early bc I picked out which horse I was gonna ride in the mission where Arthur is tortured #bc his horse saves him and I like picking out which horse does that narratively #I had freed a nakoda from the murfree brothers and she's scarred to hell and back #thought it'd be narratively fitting for them to save eachother dhgsgshdjfj #OK BUT I AM GENUINELY EMO ABOUT DUTCH #him in rdr1 is agonizing to see #he's so goddamn tired

I was looking up the Dutch history of cycling for fanfiction (Helward) purposes and I learned that bicycles for day to day use only really gained popularity from the 1890s/1900s and before that they were more popular in England?! This is so sad. Van Helsing may not even have known how to ride a bike. There goes my ‘Seward is amazed at Dutch people cycling through snow’ scene. Fortunately or unfortunately this wikipedia article only exists in Dutch so everyone else can remain blissfully ignorant.

#sorry fanfics that have van helsing ride a bike through amsterdam. (you should just keep doing that who cares about historical accuracy) #dracula daily #helward #in other news I could find NOTHING about christmas in the netherlands at this time bc the english did christmas so much that’s #all people talk about even in dutch sources. fuckin. charles dickens #and queen victoria. i wanna know what dutch catholics in amsterdam would have been doing ok! #i am actually lowkey interested in the history of bikes now though

One disappointing thing in growing up is that you need at least two other willing adults to help you do double dutch, and you need the space for it, and you also need a really good sports bra. My solution here is 1. start a hobby group for skipping, 2. find a hobby space, and 3. buy a really good sports bra. Profit.

#sorry I am lamenting the lack of double dutch in my life rn. I need a skipping rope. so fucking badly. miss her so much

me with my specific-ass interests within a fandom makes me completely incapable of really connecting with anyone within fandoms on god

#im sorry i reaaaaally fucking hate bioshock 2 #it's so weak in comparison to the first one #infinite is fine it's just not a bioshock game #also the dark crystal........ i really hate AOR i am so sorry #the puppetry is amazing but the camera work is just abysmal there's so many dutch angles and there's seldom just a still shot #like the camera is constantly moving it makes me ill. also there's just a mass of tonal issues and it's too silly when it shouldn't be #like im sorry i can't take that show seriously. the new lore is also incredibly boring. #I really don't like anything that isn't from the film or the novelization and the novel isn't even canon at all 💀 #hey also the infinite burial at sea dlc is silly as fuck just. tacking that on. #i don't have any controversial simpsons opinions tho. aside from not minding most of the seasons past 8
