#catch up to him. and then it’s jail cells and backseats and agents and he’s got nothing left anymore.

replaying this game after the second game is making me honest to god so beyond miserable … javier looks so absolutely defeated here. it’s genuinely breaking my heart. please don’t make me think about the thoughts he’s having now- perhaps ones of regrets, or flashes of laughter and singing around the campfire, of clanking beer bottles together and sharing stories, of looking at the shine in dutch’s eyes during a speech and how he felt, somehow, the warmth of the mexican sun. and how that sun never felt the same when he got home again. and how the only time in the past eight years that he ever felt warm was when john’s hands wrapped the rope around his hands and legs. when john’s rope was the noose around his neck, and he finally, finally could stop running. guilt, fear, regret … relief. please kill me im so sad
#MY HEART IS BROKEN IM ON YHE FLOOR BLEEDING OUT#please never apologize to me for rambling in the tags it heals me when people do that#the fact that you pointed out that javier was in fact cursing john out for the entire time that he was in his field of vision but then goes#completely silent the moment he truly recognized that it was over and that john was serious#god fuck i can’t do this anymore#do you think when john was chasing him on horseback it felt like he was following javier back to camp again#by that time in-game javier had just seen bill and somehow he knows that dutch is in colombia so he’s keeping tabs on him as well so i do#think that he’s seen some of the gang members a few times since The Incident#but to see john is completely different than seeing bill#to see john who was his brother. to see the man that dutch left to die ON PURPOSE. i’m certain javier thought he’d never see him again#so it all comes rushing back in a way that it doesn’t when bill is/was around. the memories of john are sweeter. more pure.#javier loved john longer than he ever did hate him and he’s missed him for even longer than that#cuz they were so close man ☹️ fuck this sucks. i hate rdr1#but yes i do think he was elated and crushed and angry and sad and so so happy to see john again#john says that javier is a cynic pretending to be a romantic but i don’t believe that at all. javier is a romantic through and through#and that just means that he feels heartbreak far deeper than the average person as well#and i think his heart has rotted in his chest so heavily by the time john rides into mexico javier doesn’t even have the heart to be angry#not anymore. though he was for years and years and years. and maybe john’s arrival stoked that just a bit. just long enough for the lasso to#catch up to him. and then it’s jail cells and backseats and agents and he’s got nothing left anymore.#and he’s just … done. he’s so tired. ugghhh fuuuccckkkk#i have to killmjselg why would yuo make me think about this again#okay i need to stop i’ll cry actually. thank you though im pleased about you putting your input even though it ruined my life#rdr#john marston#javier escuella#text#hero’s talking over folks
