the urge to replay red dead redemption over and over again, every time with a different ship in mind, so i can see and understand all the potential love stories woven into it

Clawing my eyes out.

[spoilthevines]

my brain has chosen to combine two of my biggest hyperfixations of recent years and i am now sitting on a beautiful beautiful concept for an rdr2 au set in the 90s hardcore scene in california*

no but imagine dutch as a manager of a diy hardcore band in the age of every major label suddenly looking to sign the next nirvana and promising the world to bands only then to fuck them over beyond belief and try to make them marketable according to what the labels think is marketable (make micah the pushy label a&r)

mix that with the rise of nu metal and the toxic cis het masculinity of it all and how certain bands literally split up because they couldn't handle their queerer weirder audiences get fucked up at festivals by the nu metal bros

make arthur the frontman (javier is lead guitar, john is bass, bill is fhe drummer) who is very uncomfortable with all this on multiple levels

and i haven't settled on the plot wheels yet but charles is either hired into this as a tech (even though he's a really fucking good musician), OR arthur used to do rhythm guitar as well but now they want him to focus more on performance and "arthur will you stop hiding behind that guitar of yours already" and charles is a session musician they hired for a tour to play arthur's rhythm guitar parts

and we are really fucking golden

don't even get me started about how easy would it be to borrow from larry livermore + green day biography to explain why arthur and john have been around for so long

or on the opportunities for all the side characters (o'driscolls and colm easily morph into a version of epitaph records and brett gurewitz and rancid which makes it easy to draw another link between brody dalle and sadie)

* not in the historic precision sense but in a vague rockstar sense because i have no intention of actually being accurate or figuring out how these characters would fit into the existing dynamic of the scene

Yall have no idea how much I love this fanfic. Almost tempted to learn how to bind books so I can print it out and keep it.

I have read real published books that were nowhere near as good as this damn fic! Now I keep trying to find the ‘strange visitors’ shaped fic I am craving in the Charthur tag on ao3. I’m trying to write my own now! Ekkk fuckin love this story.

strange visitors for @absolutedisaster69

i tell all my freinds that yendo is my favorit fnaf anamatronic and then play it off as a joke and say its the funtimes.

i lie no longerrrr

Charles and uncles reletionship is the most precious things in rdr2. Arthur died for this. Most beautiful development. From "I don't even know you" and "go watch grass" to their epilogue friendship. Beautiful heartwarming amazing.

˗ˏˋ Arthur Morgan Modern!AU Headcanons ´ˎ˗

To answer this ask from the lovely @crystalofmoon19 , I got to think a bit more deeply about what a modern!AU Arthur could be. This absolutely stunning Arthur pic is from @arthurmorgan-vp!

JOB ´ˎ˗

Has a job that means a lot to him and is totally dedicated when doing it.

Arthur flourishes when helping others. I saw a Chartur fanart that portrayed him as a nurse and god I love this idea. He's emotionally VERY tough, making him efficient even in difficult and stressful times when a patient's life is in his hands. He's also a practical person who needs to have a concrete, manual aspect in his work. On top of that, we have the whole "service to society" aspect.

Police officer could also fit this dynamic. (I know it's pretty ironic considering he's a criminal in the canon but it's one of these jobs where he could put his strength into action to help others).

Also, without the need to survive and do criminal acts, with a caring family who could push him in the right ways, he also could have a job in arts. Arthur canonically is a curious and inventive person, he draws every little thing he finds interesting around him and cares for places, characters and events most people wouldn’t. I could picture him as an illustrator/concept artist. Or tattoo artist too? Why not.

HOBBIES ´ˎ˗

Sooooo artsy.

If he works at the hospital, he needs to have a sketchbook to just write and draw like in the canon. With other mediums being way more accessible nowadays, I think he could also paint and even sculpt from time to time.

Art helps him to get dark thoughts out of his head and focus on something when life gets hard.

However, if he already works in an artsy field, I think he would need to get up and move after a whole day sitting and would love to just go jogging, hiking, and taking long walks in nature. A combat sport could also do the work, as Arthur has an important code of honor: a discipline like Judo or Wrestling could help him get all his pent-up energy out while respecting his opponent; boxing could work too.

100% have a Polaroid and takes pictures of good times and his close ones every chance he gets. His bedroom/apartment is full of objects that carry an emotional value to him.

MODERN THINGS HE LIKES ´ˎ˗

Barbecues.

Would wear the ugliest apron and cap while doing them btw. And doesn't see what the problem is.

Classical rock music and vinyl. Thinking about Led Zepplin, The Stones, The Doors. Vintage music all the way. Has a secret soft spot for Lady Gaga though. Don't tell John. And (not-so) hot take, it's Hosea who introduces him to his old blues and rock records (Dutch prefers Jazz music.)

Camping and long hiking trips. Trekking when he feels really adventurous.

Going to the cinema. (100% eats salty popcorn and messes with John during the film if it's a family outing.)

In modern days Arthur would have been born in 1988. This means he was a '90s kid: he fondly remembers VHS tapes, baggy jeans, his old PlayStation One, maybe watching the first episodes of Pokémon, too. He's canonically such a nostalgic.

Would 100% make his own mix on cassette tapes btw

Flannels. I picture him with comfy rather than fancy clothes. He would also have a big leather jacket or vintage bomber for winter. And a leather bag like this one where important work papers are mixed with random trinkets found on his hikes.

RANDOM LITTLE FACTS ´ˎ˗

Arthur is so messy (I mean look at his tent). His car (Hosea's old one) is also a complete mess, cups, leftovers from meals, CDs, work stuff and random objects cover every possible inch of it.

Talking about it, looooves to drive. Totally do it with one hand on the wheel. And with good music ofc. (He would put his other hand on your thigh)

Has a dog. Or wants one deeply. A big one. And he definitely wants a lot of animals once he has a bigger house with you.

I said he could be a tattoo artist. I think he would have a tattoo, of an animal. Of course, we as a fandom thinks of the deer, but it has to be something meaningful to him. Maybe the animal who inspires him the most, or one they have seen in the wild with John during a walk in the woods.

Arthur is not a good cook. Buys a lot of food telling himself this time, he will succeed at making this damn dish. Biggest mess ever, ingredients everywhere on the floor, the walls, his body and hair. Pure chaos. Everything burns. Kitchen ends up on fire. Uses the internet as last hope, tries to watch as many tutorials as possible but it doesn't help+his phone ends up covered in egg white, flour, and wet ingredients. Throws away the food and gives up, orders a pizza.

Repeat previous paragraph every time he wants to try a new dish he saw somewhere.

(The phone is okay because he has the strongest and largest phone case ever. The kind of enormous one made to protect phones in building zones, for his hikes. It's pitch black.)

Overall I'd say a Modern!AU Arthur would probably be a bit happier even though still very nostalgic and melancholic at times (without the constant need to run away and kill people, his mental health would be much better.)

Important disclaimer: these are my personal thoughts, they could totally be shitty, I'm not at all claiming this is the absolute truth about him. A character is always subject to a personal interpretation, therefore anyone could picture him differently! Btw, I would love to hear your thoughts about it!

Thanks for reading! I hope you liked my silly little ideas.

I'm thinking about doing a part.2 where we could dive into his habits, his relationships with family, friends and s/o and other little fun facts. Let me know if I should! -Pine 🌱

[posich]

I still finding Chartur the most beautiful and calm otp in my useless life cause I’ve never seen when characters just…

“Charles, will you ride with me?”

“Always.”

I’M LITERALLY DYING

I feel like they always went to a little ride or hunt to rest and collect different herbs, watching stars and talk about everything.

i think everyone already wrote about this but i want to scream about it all my life

[kaphzzz]

Don't worry about the Arthur with glasses, take all the time you need. But let me say, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such beautiful Chartur photos! They way you portray them is so breathtaking and special, especially when you do your own moder version with them being so sweet to each other in such a realistic way! Have a good day!!

admicjfeewmnd im so sorry anon i just saw the 1 next to my inbox?? 😭😭😭 i swear i have not been ignoring you 😭

thank you.... i always prioritise realism i guess as well as evoking emotion (i.e. omg so fluffy). ..i think i focus a lot on whether a pose or environment makes sense 🤔 i used to be taking pics of like arthur half naked doing random stuff in the colter snow lol but i think making those fake cgs made me realise that emotion is important and a work of vp (especially with a pairing) or render only evokes emotion if it makes sense (to me at least), and i think details too contribute a lot to realism, which i also focus too much on in renders 😭 and im a sucker for them being the most diabetes inducing thing ever (?) 😭 so im very happy you appreciate that! this made me so happy 😭🌹🌹🌹

🧡💖💘🎨(this is for the third ask game you rebloged) and as for the charture asks well... whats the drink of choice for summer?

eueue cool person... i am glad

as for summer drinks, been found myself enjoying iced coffee and espresso recently. specifically very sweetened because just coffee and milk is. not as good. my favorite is iced white mocha but vanilla latte is also good
