It caught me off guard but there’s this exchange between Hosea and Arthur that for me happened right after the bear hunt, where Arthur suddenly says his back hurts, and Hosea gleefully says “well lie down and let me get crackin” and Arthur is like haha NOOOooooo! no thank you I am backing away from this interaction haha! the implications are killing me

1. Hosea gives back massages

2. Hosea is extremely enthusiastic

3. Said massages are terrifying for the recipients, to the point that it has become a running joke in the gang.

#red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #I. also like the idea of him actually giving a massage when needed not as a joke or intimidation tactic #but also I feel like maybe. Dutch tried to order him to give an unneeded back massage when Hosea was in the middle of something #and Hosea pinned him down and meticulously passive aggressively cracked all his joints and wrenched all his joints loose #in a medically helpful but completely unsettling way #you made me put down my goddamn book I'll give you a goddamn massage but I am leaving my bedside manner with the book #which you made me put down on the other side of camp.#Dutch got up fully relaxed and flexible. and shaking in his boots. a full hour later.#he was not allowed to opt out when he thought they were done #hosea matthews #talk to me about the ginseng and crime novel loving old man #edit: found the actual context for this it's in the notes
