Outlaw vs Criminal

When I write Arthur I write him as truly wanting to go clean, get out. He wanted to get to California like Dutch promised buy some land go peacefully into the night if you will, even if it meant struggling to get his footing at first.

Because Arthur was tired of being a criminal.

See with Arthur, I feel there is a big difference, in his eyes, between an outlaw, which when he was younger he truly believed he was and by his and John's accounts, they were. Men living outside the law, helping those who suffered from it's corruption. While keeping a little something to help them keep going.

But at some point, it's not clear when this stopped and they became criminals. No longer helping those just trying to live, and now even preying on those same people they once helped.

Arthur always makes it clear he doesn't like it, and only does it because Dutch kind of guilts him into it by explaining the gang needs it to survive. Basically Arthur acts on the idea, his family needs him to provide.

So I'm not saying Arthur was tired of being an outlaw. He was tired of being a criminal. And I think he knew before the game started, he could never go back to it and it work. The goodwill the gang burned with communities, and the pure changing of times. He couldn't go back and be Robin Hood. And he wasn't happy with the man he became. So the best option, not for him, but for the young people in the gang who had a life to still live? They needed out, and he just didn't want to always be skirting the line that was getting thinner each day that separated him from other gangs like The O'Driscolls.

Arthur didn't want to be a criminal anymore.

Reader: -

Type: Headcanons / Fluff

Warnings: none

A/n: I love reading these so I thought why not make my own. Also, I’m running out of idea and desperately need someone to just come in my ask box and demand some headcannons. For some reason Ido better when writing for someone else…? Sorry if these characters seem ooc, Itried to make these realistic-ish.

✎ Deku

So, you were at a comic book store, strolling around as usual

Checking out all the different types of comics that contained epic stories of many super heroes

You eventually made your way over to the famous “All Might” section of the store

You were never a big All Might fan, but you could appreciate the art in the comics

You tried to keep up with them, since sometimes they had a good storyline here and there

Whilst All Might was a real super hero, the stories they put in the comics were unfortunately not real

There where a few here and there that referenced real fights he had had with one villain or another

Though, most of it was just good screen writers and convincing stories

Now, that doesn’t mean All Might doesn’t save people, he does, it’s why he’s the number one hero

You spotted the newest comic that you were guessing came out a day or so ago

They must have sold very quick, because there was only one copy left of the comic

You reached out for it, not noticing condone else’s hand reaching as well until you two both tried to grab the comic

“Oh my gosh, I’m so so sorry!” The boy jumps back, his voice crazcking

“Oh no, your chill, here, you can take it, I’m not a huge fan anyways.” You say, handing the comic back over to the boy

You could tell by the way he carried himself and just by his vibe that he was a huge nerd

“He’s not your favorite? Why so? He’s the best hero ever!”

Cue Izu fanboying to you about All Might for fifteen minutes straight

He WILL get out his notebook and show you evidence behind all the points he makes

He might be a shy mess, but when it comes to proving a point about All Might, he will step up

You thought Izu was cool for going the extra lengths to prove his points

Even if it was just about his favorite superhero

So, you two became friends, regularly visiting the comic shop together

Reading comics, and coming up with obscure theories

If you two started dating, you two would totally have comic store dates

I finding each other a comic that reminds you two of one another

It would be so freakin cute

And you and him just falling asleep on each other in a heap of comics

✎ Kirishima

You and Kiri’s meeting would be an interesting one

You went out for a stroll in the park, and all you see is a guy ride down a staircase that’s like 20 feet tall on a bike

You go over to see 1. Is he still aLiVe?

And 2. HOW, did he DO that?!

No one else really noticed what he did, which was like shell shocking to you

I mean come on, HE JUST RODE DOWN A FREAKIN STAIRCASE ON A BIKE

Apparently you weren’t as calm as everyone else

So you go up to him and tell him it was really cool what he did, and ask him how he did it

Oh my word, if you don’t want to hear about Kiri’s bike stories, dOn’T aSk hIm hOw hE dId iT

(yes yes yes, I know, Shinsou’s supposed to be the bike person)

But I see Kiri as more of the mountain bike/stunt dude

He does all the cool stuff that your just like

(*o*)

Anyways, you ask him about it and he tells you his whole bike journey

You find it cool cause, well, it is.

So, you two start just walking around the park and talking back and forth about your lives

He will try to get you to ride his bike at least once

Whether you choose to accept is up to you

After that, you two got each other’s contact information and have been talking ever since

When/if you two start dating

If you don’t know how to ride a bike, he will teach you how t ride one

He’ll try to get you to do cool stunts and if you accept he’ll go with you every step of the way

If you get hurt, he’ll have the coolest shark bandaids to put on your scrapes

(He would want you to wear knee-pads and elbow pads tho)

If you don’t wanna do all that crazy stuff, and just kinda wanna be calm, he’ll ride through y’all’s neighborhood or the park with you

And he’ll be like

“Hey y/n, there’s this awesome trail, it’s like 8 miles long, but it’s supposed to have a lot of cool places to do wheeled and a lot of small hills to jump. Wanna come?”

Again, if you decline…he might still go

If you let him go then he will go, and take tons of selfies for you

….he might even go with Shinsou

But I don’t think, just personally, Shinsou would do all that

He picks me as the “rides flat sidewalks at night” type person

If you want him to stay, he’ll gladly stay with you, and will go a got her time

And if you wanna go?!?!

He will gladly drag you along, showing off his skills to impress you <3

Aren’t you just so proud of Kiri’s manly bike skills

✎ Shinsou

You love it when you have a paper due TOMORROW and procrastinated so you have to stay up in this 24 hour café to finish it

What makes it even worse is you barely understand what you are writing your paper one

You kinda just stare at everything you write down like “?!?!?”

Also, this is your fifth cup of cofffee and you are visibly shaking from how jittery you are

Anything for a good grade tho, am Irving?

The purple haired insomniac strolls up in the café as per-usual when he can’t sleep

Which is 90% of the time

And sees you at a table, low-key shaking, looking at a screen like it’s some rocket science equation

So he says “screw it, I’m tired and bored” and comes up to your table

“Can’t sleep?” You ask, looking up from your computer to see this purple haired stranger

“Nope, you?” He asks

“Gotta finish this dumb essay.”

He lets you rant about how idiotic the assignment was and how you don’t understand a single word of it

Now, I would like to say that he would help you in any way he could

Because he definitely would, Imesn it might be as simple as

“Move your comma”

But he’ll help

Now, expect him to ask after you close your laptop, signifying you have turned it in

“When was this assigned?”

And when you tell him two weeks ago

He’s gonna make some dumb remark about how you shouldn’t have procrastinated :/

From there on, you two have been bonded together by 3 am coffee, and become friends

If you two get together 3 am coffee dates are a must

Whether your finishing a paper or not

Oh, and anytime you get assigned anything new….all you hear from him is some stupid crap like

“You gonna do this one earlier than the night before this time?”

Yeah, he’s never gonna let you live that down

(Sorry if Shinsou’s sarcasm high-key sucked, I’m tired and can’t think)

Hope you all have a good day/night!

You are also loved!

Remember to drink water!

// Look. Look I have mentioned Arthur having a Forgotten Realms au with @amorgansgal before. We were joking about the gang in this world, and how things would be different and yet the same.

So of course I made this man in the BG 3 CC

"We're more ghosts than people."

Highly selective and private rp blog for Arthur Morgan of the Red Dead series. Will be canon-divergent. No TB here folks. High Honor.

MINORS DNI 21+

// How wild my PSA's look so out of place across my three blogs, lol

Mostly this one, because I have one thread and I have two mutuals and both follow Ras.

However, yeah I will likely be fleshing out some more verses for Arthur, if only to get some more interaction. And in general, give this blog a little push.

Sorry I've been quiet, I think seasonal depression finally caught up to me, and I'm getting some burnout from it. So my spoons a on the low side. Plus even though the blog is small as hel, I've been replying RDR 2 to help me fully get back into Arthur's voice, and the Western aesthetic has me in a chokehold again.

However! I still have tons of Ras muse in general, and deep reserves for BG 3 and Forgotten Realms in general, it's just now also sharing space with the same greatness as Western/Red Dead.

Also, for the first time in my life I've had so much muse for more than one muse. Sadly one is in a rpc that basically doesn't exist, which means I might get creative and toss Arthur in other places. And Ras is an OC, but with Ras I have you all so really not a point of complaining because he does get some love.

But yeah, I should be active on everyone (Ras, Halsin, Arthur) Sunday after work, and my three days off!

// The increasing urge for BG 3 verse, because I have brain rot and just love BG 3 and RDR 2 so much!

[pursued-by-a-memory]

Me starting to feel better after my heart and the meningitis, however, my body cannot let this stand.

So naturally I've spent the last two days coughing my ass off, and feeling like I'm going to choke of gunk stuck in my throat and I think I might as well move a sleeping bag into the bathroom.

My body with transitions into new seasons is brutal.

[pursued-by-a-memory]

I've been waffling over if this is really a headcanon because it's honestly more me explaining why I have a verse that I do, which is silly, after all, my blog my verses, but nonetheless, here we are!

So I was watching this video on Bonnie and Clyde, and it was a good watch as it didn't romanticize them or their gang, and it really showcased something I try to explain to people when it comes to Red Dead and where it ventures off into Hollywood: A lot of criminals, like now, often avoided death penalties by plea deals, a lot of their gang avoided life in prison or the chair because they entered in plea deals. Now most never got to enjoy this because they went right back to fucking around and finding out, but they had a legit chance.

And these people killed cops, much like Arthur had been accused of, and yes realistically killed a few (not as many as the game implies, but that's a whole other post, lol), so it isn't outside of the realm if Arthur did make an offer, not even promising Dutch, but other bigger issue gangs for the government as a whole and not one rich dude, they would listen.

Also, it wasn't overly rare to have a wanted man turn bounty hunter or even lawman. Wyatt Earp was technically a wanted man when he became a lawman. It was a shit job, with shit pay and you had to be it all, the investigative team, the clean-up crew, all of it. And always on call. So finding someone who knew how to fire a gun, could get shit done? Fuck it, give him a chance, better than nothing.

Because I have the timeline veering off in chapter 3. I for sure see Arthur going to the actual law, not the Pinkertons, who were starting to lose favor then as well (don't quote me not sure on that), and offers Colm's head and his gun to pay his debt. A US marshal is going to jump on that.

So, Arthur isn't happy, but the idea is doing this will give him more leverage to help more get out safely. Because he's loyal to what matters: his family and their safety.

I meant to be on this blog over my three days off, but between getting terribly ill and feeling bored yet no satisfaction from the things I like, I don't feel rested and already dreading work tomorrow. It has also made me fairly non-verbal, so even writing this has been hard.

Not going anywhere, just going through something it seems. Of course, send me asks, IC or not, they are a mood boost and something I can throw into queue while I navigate what's going on.

// BG 3 Arthur was kind of meant as a light hearted joke, but I'm getting too committed to the bit fam. And I think he's crushing on Lae'zel
