Red Dead Quiz #1

Hello every and all and welcome to my new little series, that being red dead quizzes. Every sonday I am going to upload a little quiz of three questions that will be within a certian theme and this week's theme is Easter Eggs, next week's theme will be actors! I will upload them all under the hashtag "nthspecialll quiz".

Answers to the questions can be found below the cut and links to explainations or proof can be found by clicking underlined words.

The 23th May, 2010 Youtuber WhereDaBootz uploaded a video of a glitch he had encountered in rdr1, said video became so popular that it became an easter egg in rdr2. What was that easter egg?

Harold MacDougal is an important character from red dead one who cannot be encountered in red dead two but is mentioned twice either way, when are those two times?

In rdr2's version of Blackwater you can find strange writing on the walls, what is that writing? Bonus point if you can tell me what it means.

Answers.

The easter egg is the woman known as the Donkey Lady who can be found a little outside Armadillo.

In the newspaper artical: "Prominent Yale Scientist Speaks Out" and in the side mission "Help a Brother Out" where it is his book you have to pull from the shelf to reach the slaves in the basement of the Saint Denis fence. You don't need to be able to name the exact artical or mission to gain the points as long as you knew he made an appearence in the news and knew which mission, even if you didn't know the name.

The writing is made in Aztec symbols, which are used in Undead Nightmare by Ayauhtéotl, the godess who put the caused the appocolypse. The writing translates to "Blessed are the peacemakers" which is what is written on John's grave.

While the Van der Linde gang is an outlaw gang, it operates more as a cult:

-Zero tolerance for criticism and questions: Dutch can't stand when someone questions or doubts him (ex. When John starts questioning him at Clemens Point, Dutch tells him that doubting means the end, aka weakness and forces him to say "Yes, Dutch." or when Uncle calls him out in a humorous manner, he threatens to kill him under the guise of following the joke).

-A belief that former followers are always wrong for leaving and there is never a legitimate reason to leave: Javier and Bill call John and Arthur traitors for abandoning them and Dutch, even though it was clear that Dutch was losing his sanity, he was going to get them all killed and both of them were trying to salvage what's left of the gang, a train of thought that lasts even after the gang disbanded.

-Lack of meaningful financial disclosure regarding money: Dutch constantly prattles about the fact that they need more money and at one point, he hid a box of money in one of the gang's hideouts.

-Abuse of members: While Dutch is not physically abusive of members, he is an abuser of the psychological variant (ex. When Molly raises legitimate concerns about how he is ignoring her and not paying her attention, he always dismisses her as delusional, even outright saying "I never met a woman with so many needs.")

-Absolute authoritarianism without accountability: If there is one thing that Dutch shows the most is his inability to take responsibility for his actions (ex. When he blames John for being the reason why the Saint Denis Bank heist went wrong, accusing him of being a rat, even though the main reason it went wrong was because Dutch was too reckless with his robberies to the trolley station and the boat, along with his kidnapping and killing of Angelo Bronte, the most powerful man of Saint Denis).

-Unreasonable fears about the outside world that involve evil conspiracies and persecution: Dutch fears civilization because it represents everything he hates and instills very irrational fears amongst them (ex. When Dutch tells John the law chases them because the gang represents everything they fear, yet ironically, after the gang disbands, Tilly has a happy life married to a lawyer and John has a normal life as a member of society).

-Cult of personality: The most obvious one. Dutch is seen like a father and a messiah amongst the gang (ex. In Red Dead Redemption, John tells Reyes that Dutch saved him, Bill and Javier.)

-Illegal and dangerous behaviour: The van der Linde are a gang of outlaws at first, but they ended up becoming the Wild West equivalent of domestic terrorists, with their attacks on the Cornwall Train, the Saint Denis Bank, a US Army Train....

-Charismatic leader: Dutch oozes charisma anytime he speaks, albeit of the superficial kind that has an iron hand on the people of his gang, which Kieran lampshades.

-Us VS Them mentality: Dutch enforced a very black and white view about their enemies, even outright admits so when he killed Bronte ("It is us or him.).

-Isolation and love-bombing: Once again, Molly is the biggest victim of this, with Dutch charming her into going with him and making her feel isolated on the gang, in order for her to depend on him and him alone.

-Time and energy: In the camp, you are expected to upgrade Dutch's tent first before upgrading the rest of the camp. And Dutch demands that money is put on the box, yet he himself never contributes to the box.

Lemme just say that I absolutely adore self shippers with f/o's who are really obscure characters.

If your f/o is a background character, they're really happy you picked their face out in the crowd and fell in love with them! 💗

If your f/o is a character from a really old piece of media, they're happy that the sands of time haven't stopped you from loving them! ❤

If your f/o is from an obscure piece of media, it makes them happy that you found them and hold them close like a precious treasure that was waiting to be found 💝

If your f/o is often forgotten by the fandom, it warms their heart to know you've immortalized them with your love 💖

If your f/o is unconventional, it makes them feel so special that they're just your taste! ❤️‍🔥

YOUR F/O'S LOVE YOU!!

sometimes your soul mate is from a movie, or a video game. maybe a tv show? or maybe they're from a book or even a comic book you really love. maybe they're a character made by a dear friend of yours. no matter where they're from they are still your soul mate no matter what ♡

i might be alone in this but

shout out to self shippers who can't handle angst with their f/o

shout out to self shippers who get too upset thinking about their f/o thinking bad about them

shout out to self shippers who explicitly avoid angst content because it overwhelms them so much

shout out to self shippers who only like fluff even if it's considered “out of character” for their f/o

i struggled w/ this so bad that i had to take a tumblr hiatus (and im better for it)

sometimes it’s good to take a step back for a bit, and realise that productivity and numbers aren’t everything

i mean, regular couples wouldn’t love each other any less just because they don’t make things for each other all the time or don’t talk abt each other 24/7 - it goes for f/os too. sometimes we forget that, and that’s ok :)

Reminder that there’s no such thing as loving your f/o(s) less just because you don’t publish content of them or gush about them as frequently; or at all.

You don’t have to post content of your f/o(s) if you’re not in the mood to, if you don’t have the energy to or if you simply don’t want to. You don’t have to gush about them if you’re not in the mood to, if you don’t have the energy to or if you simply don’t want to.

Thinking long and hard of how others can post a thousand and one times a day isn’t the right way to go about it. They’re a completely different being from you and that’s okay.

Your self ships are just important as the next and the one after that, no matter what you do so, take your time. Take a deep breath and try not to be so hard on yourself. Work as much as you can at whatever pace you can. it’s okay.

Something To Live For collage!

I've never made one of these before, but I thought I'd give it a go on Pinterest (because making a self-indulgent collage of your self-ship is very based).

I look forward to seeing all of yours! :]

Jack decided he wanted to be a very silly individual during my photoshoot.

"And what kind of face is that supposed to be!?"

"Well darlin', I thought I'd try somethin' new."
