Fandom: Red Dead Redemption? 💕

Thanks, @dreadhobo!! Also for @bearly-tolerable

the first character i ever fell in love with:

Arthur, of course. OH my god. I love him so much?

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not:

I didn’t quite dislike Mary as much on my first playthrough as I did on my second. I think I had more faith in her BEFORE I knew what was going to happen to Arthur. Now I’m like, wow he deserved better. 

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not:

Arthur x Mary. I think I thought they could have had a shot? But gosh. After reading her final letter, esp during my second playthrough, when Arthur legit told her he would NOT help her with her father in St. Denis, and then TOLD HER they needed to move on, and yet she still feels like it’s her right and responsibility to break up with him like for the fourth time via letter…I was like, who does this woman legitimately thing she is? Like he TOLD her he was done with her. Then she still writes him a letter like, “Well, I thought maybe you’d change your mind, but apparently you’re still trash, so here’s the ring back that I stole from you many years ago. I miss you, but it’s time to have a nice life without each other. xoxo, Mary.” >:(

my ultimate favorite character™:

Arthur.

prettiest character:

Arthur? I mean…

my most hated character: 

I want to say Dutch, but from a craft standpoint, he’s actually incredibly interesting. A lot of really good writing has gone into making Dutch the bastard that he is. So I have to say…Micah. Fuckin rat.

my OTP:

Well, I have a fix-it fic called The Lily Farm which is Arthur x Mary Beth. I like them together, obviously, but they are not canon. I have no romantic OTPs, per canon. But Arthur x Charles BroTP is certainly my heart and soul. I also really love Arthur x John as a BroTP, and I wish their relationship had been developed a little bit more in-game.

my NOTP:

I’m not a fan of Dutch x Arthur, but ship and let ship. 

favorite episode mission:

oh dear, but there are so many? I love the train robbery mission with Arthur, Sean, Charles, and John. I feel we get a LOT of good characterization in that mission, for all four of them. I LOVE John’s “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a robbery!” because it reminds me SO MUCH of Dutch, and that’s just good writing. I also love the Hamish Sinclair missions in Chapter 6. I feel they offer respite to Arthur. They give him joy at the end of his life, and that is their sole purpose. I also really love the mission up at Hanging Dog Ranch with Sadie. It’s sad and violent as hell, but that interaction with the two of them in the end–”They made me a monster, Arthur,” and when she tells him he’s the best man she’s known since her dead husband. Like, fuck.

saddest death:

Okay, but Arthur? ;_; Granted, I was spoiled and not shocked by his death, as the writing pretty much gets you there. In terms of sheer shock and sadness, I would have to say that Lenny’s death really confused me. At first, they give you the option in-mission to “Help Lenny.” So you run there, but he’s shot good, and he dies immediately. There’s no way to help. So instead, Arthur just…kneels there sadly for a moment, amidst the ensuing massacre of St. Denis, frozen in his despair, just to mourn him in the moment. It’s…devastating?

Um, Arthur’s horse in the end is also another…death that I really can’t even talk about anymore. flskjdf;alskjfa;slkjdfas;lk

favorite season chapter:

This is tough. I love Chapter 2 for its innocence, and how we get to spend all this time getting to know everyone when they’re happy and carefree. But Chapter 6 is really where the wealth of the story is. It’s the comeuppance, the apotheosis, the final confrontation. It’s all of Arthur’s redemption arc in a single punch. It’s Sadie Adler’s chapter to shine. It’s Arthur’s relationship with John. It’s small moments in which Arthur takes small actions to make big differences in the lives of strangers. So while it’s the saddest chapter, it’s also the most beautiful to me, in terms of the story. 

least favorite season chapter:

Chapter 1. I honestly think the tutorial is a little overbearing. I get its function now, as it does a lot to establish the sort of desperation of their new circumstances, but it is QUITE long. Also i know everyone loves to hate Chapter 5, and while I agree it’s quite grueling and very violent and scary for Arthur, it is like, a fantastic underworld chapter. It is necessary to complete the narrative. Arthur has to survive such a tremendous trial in such pressurized circumstances. Without it, he doesn’t fully come to terms with Dutch’s madness, and he never acknowledges the lengths to which he must go to make a full transformation and achieve his redemption.

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate:

???? I think the fandom is unanimous in lots of ways? Of course there are people who love Dutch, love  Micah. But I think on the whole, my opinions align with the general opinions of “fandom,” whatever that means.

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave:

Sean. Sweet garbage Irishman little brother. I love him.

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave:

Um, are there any cinnamon rolls in this story? I don’t think so. Even Jack is kind of a little shit sometimes. Maybe Kieran? ;_;

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship:

Nothing comes to mind.

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship:

Arthur x Albert Mason. Um, I don’t really ship it, but there is some CUUUUTE content out there for these two lol

Send me a fandom!

I actually think Hinterlands is amazing, has lovely quests, beautiful scenery.. ;;

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

I made a post that unexpectedly blew up a little about how I didn’t think the hinterlands were so bad. The consensus was people just get overwhelmed because it’s a lot so soon, and they didn't realize you could leave. 

I love the hinterlands!

For the "75 Gaming Asks" - 15, 33, 34, 36 and 54?

Thanks, @dreadhobo!! I hope you’re having an awesome Friday so far. 

15. Favorite animal in a video game?

Eeeeeee what a good one lol. This might be a boring answer, but I love it when games prioritize and use horses as important elements of gameplay. My favorite horse in a game is probably Skyrim’s immortal vampire horse Shadowmere that you get during the Dark Brotherhood questline I also love the horses in Red Dead Redemption 2, obviously. Arthur’s Missouri Fox Trotter Sarah is my heart and soul over here ;-;

Okay but I also really love nugs. meep.

33. Favorite female npc? 

Mild RDR2 spoilers ahead.

Ugh I’m really loving Sadie Adler in RDR2. I was talking to @bearly-tolerable about her the other day. How she’s incredibly unique as a female character, because she’s, yes, badass, but what I love about her most is not her badassery, but her actual devotion to her dead husband, and how she can be covered in blood after avenging his death and still cry, refer to him as her “Jakey,” and how, no matter how far she descends into this nightmare of her grief, she has made it her life’s goal to remember their purity together, and to preserve his memory as a good man. She doesn’t care about her own sadness as much as she cares about what happened to him, and how he was too good for it, and how I know she would have traded her life for his any day.

Also, her friendship with Arthur toward the end of the storyline is just...ugh.

34. Favorite male npc?

Hmm. I love Bill from The Last of Us, and how he is such a beautiful foil for Joel. I love Charles from RDR2, and his quiet acceptance of his dubious morality as an outlaw even as he is, in his heart, a truly good man. I love Jonah in both Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider for the unfailing, unconditional friendship he offers to Lara, even in her darkest hours. 

36. Best antagonist?

Konstantin in Rise of the Tomb Raider. TOTALLY. Dude he was such a good antagonist, it almost ruined Shadow of the Tomb Raider for me, because its villain is so weak in comparison. Konstantin is a true believer in a religious cause devoted to remaking the world without horror and sin. This makes him both dangerous but also earnest in his quest. His devotion to his sister makes him personable. He wants the Divine Source not for the power it would grant him--that is a secondary concern. He wants it, first and foremost, to cure his sister’s terminal disease. He tries to recruit Lara. In a way, I think he admires her. She is his equal. He is ruthless, but the fact that he has something to lose, something that feels very real and very personal, makes him sympathetic. And the final boss fight between him and Lara in Rise is so good. It’s just so good.

54. A sequel you really want?

Welp, DA4 for starters, obvi. But I’m also very excited for more information on The Last of Us, Pt. II. I am also hoping for a Horizon: Zero Dawn sequel? I think there is more to Aloy’s story, more for her to learn and see, and I think Silens is a great sleeper villain whose motives are both mysterious and incredibly intriguing.
