Human pet guy showed up on my dash again (via puppy play sick skateboard tricks post) and I decided to look at what he was up to these days, and
what do you mean he was born in 1995?
#kai rambles#human pet guy#on one hand it kinda makes sense in that he was like 22 or something when he made the original human pet post#like if he was a 22 year old inexperienced with pet play i can somewhat see how you could end up making that post#maybe you could get your wires that tangled up about it if you've never actually done it#and then like you finally get to try it and suddenly all of that bullshit is dispelled#also you can be a pretentious little dumb dumb about it when you're 22 you know? let me write as if im always talking down to someone#on the other hand#the guy still believes it#he's still salty about people not getting where he was coming from#he still thinks he's right#and like maybe that's because he's still never got to do pet play in real life but that feels like a mean assumption#and a little lazy and bad faith you know?#especially considering he believes even weirder things now like that gen z boys who voted for harris should now be concubines for the#''victors of the election'' and that this is how it's always been until CHRISTIANITY TAUGHT PEOPLE BETTER#absolutely insane thing to say and honestly i could break down that entire post because boy howdy is it a ride#also he believes something to do with trump experimenting with ways to trap people in crystals?#like that's a facebook ass conspiracy#which hence would imply he's older#the way he talks also just reminds me of jordan peterson#but jordan peterson isn't only 5 years older than me#id assumed he was older because of his cadence and vernacular#but no#he's not even 30#im just rambling in the tags here because i just. like i oft talk in a kinda pretentious manner so i know that's not a thing unique to older#folk and that this shouldn't be tripping me up so much but it's just like.#he was younger than me when he made the original human pet guy post#that's wild#you know who he reminds me of?#whatifalthist on youtube

Hello, I hope you're feeling good today! Umm I was curious if you want to share some HCs about modern John and Arthur. What aspects would change if they lived in our present days? Or if they woke up a day and were here? :)
Modern AU | Arthur Morgan | John Marston | Headcanons
~~~~~
OMG yes. So I think about Modern AU Arthur and John A LOT. Both in the sense that they actually grew up in modern AU and that’s all they have know and the sense that they have just woken up in a modern world and have to come to terms with what the world is like in 2019. 
I’ll just do a set for each of the boys on Modern AU because this post was getting SO long. But pleaseee if you want to hear about 1899 Arthur and John in a Modern world, send me an ask!
John’s HCs are MUCH more fleshed out than Arthur’s and really more of a narrative where as for Arthur I have a huge bunch of ideas as to who he is as a person but nothing super solid for his actual story.
I have SO many more headcanons about these guys and also Modern AU Abigail. If you want to see more, just ask. ♥

A little background on Modern AU Arthur and John. John’s Father died when he was They were both placed in the Foster-care system where they were taken in by Dutch and Hosea; an older couple that decided to foster instead of adopt. Arthur is still 10 years older than John. He is placed with Dutch and Hosea at around the age of 10 and then seven years later John is placed with them as well at the age of 7. 
Arthur isn’t an orphan but he was taken away from his bio Father due to abuse and after that his Father spiralled and found himself in prison. His sentence kept getting extended due to bad behaviour and eventually Arthur writes him off when he reaches adulthood, realising he isn’t going to change. Dutch and Hosea adopt Arthur with his Father’s consent right before he turns 18. His mother died due to illness when he was a toddler.
John’s Mother died in childbirth and his abusive Father was killed when John was 6. He goes straight in to Foster-care and is bounced around from house to house due to his troublesome nature. His Foster parents find him challenging and he continues to be replaced until eventually he lands with Dutch and Hosea at the age of 7. After Arthur, they find John and his anxieties/acting out to not be all that much of a handful.
John isn’t adopted when he turns 18 and as a result has a strained relationship with the people he had considered his family for over 10 years. He attends family Christmas and other holidays but ultimately feels out of place.

Modern AU Arthur:
Okay so first thing you need to know about Modern Arthur is he’s a serial dater
A romantic always looking for ‘the one’
But total self-sabotager when anyone promising appears
Think Ted Mosby from HIMYM
He is HOT but he doesn’t really know it
Really low self-esteem
But at the same time weirdly arrogant because he can pretty much get any woman he wants
He has a new partner every couple of weeks
Always brings them to events and puts them in the photos which annoys his friends
When he is roughly 25 he has a bad break up and decides to ‘be single’ for a while
He meets Eliza and has a one night stand
She gets pregnant
He tries to make it work with her but in the end they are too different
They break up and Arthur is a little relieved
He’s a good Dad to Issac 
But Eliza moves away with him when he is around 3
So Arthur only see’s him on holidays and when he can afford to fly out for a visit
He is an Artist
Actually makes some decent money off his work
But hates the whole ‘art scene’
Absolutely despises rubbing noses with “pretentious art folk”
But despite that, is really good at schmoozing to get his art recognised
His friends like to remind him that he’s actually really pretentious himself sometimes
But he likes to think of himself as ‘Down to Earth’
He loves food
Always has snacks
Lives off coffee
Has drank dirty paint water instead of his coffee many, many times
Arthur has a really good parental bond with both Dutch and Hosea
He gets along with them both really well and often voluntarily spends time at their house where he grew up
Dutch is an enabler to Arthur’s womanising
He instils the belief in Arthur that when he meets ‘The One’ he will know instantly
Hosea disapproves and encourages him to try and settle down
Not every relationship is perfect but they still work out etc
Arthur’s sibling relationship with John turned to more of a friendship when the later turned 18
He invited John to live with him for a little while, while he was setting up his business
They didn’t live together for long as they got on each others nerves too often
Arthur doesn’t have many male friends
He finds it easier to connect with women in a platonic sense
Besides John, his male friends are his friend’s husbands
(i.e Jake Adler)
 Arthur likes to go away for a couple of weeks at a time
Sometimes he tells people where he’s going
Other times he just disappears
But his Instagram alerts his family to the fact he’s still alive
He never goes on extravagant vacations
Often saving enough for a flight and a stay at a hostel somewhere
Sometimes he camps
He uses these trips for inspiration in his work
Often has a huge influx of stylised work, based on where he’s been once he returns home 
It gradually returns to his usual art-style 
That’s when he realises it’s time to get away again
He feels content in his life and genuinely enjoys living
He actively yearns for more but deep down isn’t sure he actually wants it
He could live like this the rest of his life and not have many regrets
Modern AU John:
As a child, John never really had anything of his own
Never had anything new
Always hand-me-downs
So once he becomes a teen he is incredibly keen to enter the work-force
He’s very excited to spend his first pay cheque on something new for himself
He never flourished at school
Found that he was much better at working
Especially with his hands and machinery 
He took on a trade and worked to become a construction worker
When he reaches adulthood and realises he’s going to have to live by his own means he takes a business course
Starts his own company at the age of 18, doing handy-man kind of work
Dutch and Hosea offer him money to grow it
He turns it down as he feels it’s out of guilt
This spurs him on to work even harder
He wants to prove himself
Eventually starts to make enough money to hire staff
Starts taking on bigger clients
Bigger jobs
Grows his company until at the age of 22 he’s got his own small business and it’s thriving
He does well for himself
He lives off Energy Drinks and coffee
Fast food is a must
Often eats in his car at lunch or on his way home from work
It’s lonely
He meets Abigail and they start casually dating
Not long in to their relationship she falls pregnant
John freaks out but recovers well
He doesn’t want his child to grow up like he did
Proposes because he’s young and dumb
They get married really quickly despite people trying to tell them it’s a bad idea
He takes a mortgage on a house and they move in together
Things are good for a while
But once baby Jack comes they go downhill
Abigail is a good Mother but very young and selfish
This is a whole other set of headcanons if anyone is interested, I’ll write them
John steps up as a Father because he has to if he wants his child to have a good life
He flails a lot
Almost drowns a couple of times
Eventually falls in to a good rhythm of work and baby
His relationship with Abigail crumbles
They separate with joint custody
He has a few good friends
He leans on them hard in during his divorce
He sells his house and moves in with a friend for emotional support/help with the baby
Puts the profits from his sale in to his business and grows it further
As a human; he has a lot of flaws
But they are very different from his flaws in 1899
He is full of anxieties and mental health issues
But refuses to work on them
As a Father he feels he is unfit
But he takes it on anyway and is actually a natural
As a husband he was clingy, yet distant at the same time
Wanting attention and then space when it suited him
He is resentful of Abigail for ultimately being the one to end the marriage
Despite knowing it was for the best
He starts dating a friend
He realises what a good, supportive relationship is like
He and Abigail fight often about what’s right for Jack
John grows frustrated with her childishness 
Eventually fights for full custody because he feels like Jack isn’t Abigail’s first priority
Doesn’t win due to being at work full-time 
Abigail settles on 70/30 because she is also working and knows John can afford a better Nanny than she can
He never confront Dutch and Hosea about not being adopted
Figures they just didn’t want him to be permanent in their lives
They were his parents for 11 years
It stings but he moves on
He’s in denial about how much it affects him 
Affects the decisions his makes parenting his son
