Dutch: Why is John just sitting their smiling like an idiot. Wait, is he blushing?

Hosea: Yes, he is indeed blushing.

Dutch: Why?

Hosea: Well, a couple of minutes ago Y/n came by and kissed John goodbye for the day and he’s been like that since Y/n kissed him.

Dutch: He’s whipped.

Hosea: Yes, yes, he is.

“Brilliant Achilles, shining Achilles, godlike Achilles … How the epithets pile up. We never called him any of those things; we called him 'the butcher'.”

Achilles’s ability of manipulation was so great, it affects modern media to this day. He is revered, worshipped even, seen as a great shining hero akin to Hercules.

In reality, he was cruel and unjust. His ego so large it took gods to stop him. He desecrated Hectors corpse, dragging it across the beach for what was done to Patroclus.

Homer notes his inability to think beyond himself, his pride the reason for many people’s suffering. Even the gods take affront to his actions. Patroclus was seemingly the only person who knew he was capable of tenderness

In the end, Patroclus leaves Achilles behind and is forced to watch his lovers mind deteriorate while he, a ghost, can do nothing.

Dutch Van Der Linde and Hosea Matthews are often compared to Achilles and Patroclus amongst the fandom. In this essay, I will-

Hosea and Dutch make me so sick.

For the ask game <3

Micah: 12, 23

Hosea: 14, 15

Micah

12: What's a headcanon you have for this character?

I am sure I have or someone else has said this already, but I imagine Micah’s chin scar was deliberately done by his father. The reason behind why hasn’t been decided by me, but the scar is so deep and such a specific shape, I can’t help but imagine Micah as a kid/teen being restrained as his father “teaches him a lesson” for whatever made a Micah Bell Jr snap this time.

23: Favorite picture of this character?

OH… GOD. *looks at my albums app of Micah photos*

It’s an unassuming photo but I am fond of it. I really like Micah’s design in Colter, the photos is high quality, and he just has this dumb face on him. His disturbing blue eyes aren’t on full display either so I can comfortably look him in the eyes. He just looks very nice and soft. I wanna push my hands under his head scarf and play with his hair as I rest my head against his shoulder.

Hosea

14: Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Uh… he’s too cunty for me to assign him a fashion aesthetic. He IS the fashion.

If I was forced to pick something tho, I will say in a modern AU he is “button up lesbian fashion.” I can’t explain it really, he just gives me lesbian vibes in the same way Link from Rhett and Link is mistaken as a lesbian sometimes based on his looks.

He dresses a bit too formal but that’s because he is the theatrics. He has a big fluffy coat too.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

Not special for this but Vandermatthews. I haven’t interacted with the ship a whole lot honestly, I just reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally love art of him and younger Dutch. I am fond of the nuance that can be show between Dutch and Hosea + Hosea and Bessie. A bit like how I love Jovier while shipping John x Abigail. Cowboys having best friend guys who are so close that they may-haps cuddled and touched hands and held longing looks at each other. Doomed lovers too, and it adds an extra kick to his death.

In the town of Livingston, Montana, Dutch leads a simple life. He's built a cosy world for himself in the shadow of the mountains, in a place where not all that much happens. That is, until he travels to a bar an hour east for a cocktail.

A modern AU where Dutch and Hosea (and also their fans) get the happiness they deserve.

Saving My Fanfiction Work

First. Side note: This post was only intended to give resources to fanfiction writers and enjoyers. My talk on recent political events was a context/reasoning on why I made this post. Also I’ve had to add more information to this post over time due to people’s confusion in my comments. Explaining it was to make sure that this post didn’t come off as out of the blue for my followers and this community. Which is fanfiction.

Also, why I made this post was from people asking if they could download my fanfiction because of the recent political events in America hence why I named it “saving my fanfiction work” and added my context. So this was also a post to tell people that liked my fanfiction they could download it as long as it was for their personal collection. I merely just wanted to list resources to people who wanted to download fanfiction and don’t know where to start or don’t have the immediate resources. I’m not here to fear-monger. I am just giving resources and the reasoning on why I’m giving them along with urging people to look into those information/recent events as staying aware is important. I respect everybody who’s given their opinion and yes, some of my grammar in this post is not adequate as this post was merely made for giving/stating resources.

Lastly, I will no longer update this post with comments as I’ve said my peace, nor will I pay attention to the notifications as they are muted. As my page is for fanfiction not politics. Thank you for the people in this community who share this post for the resources see you around the tags! Stay safe friends!!✨ Remember I love you! And you are loved!💛

Due to the recent events in the United States. To clarify the recent events being Trump becoming president of the United States, Project 2025 more than likely going to be integrated. If you are not familiar with Project 2025 I urge you to look it up.

Along with the KOSA bill that has many problems and it has passed the senate now needing the finally vote in the house, which both are majority red. Go here to learn more on why it needs to be stopped and how you can. This is another component that will harm our communities. Go to: stopkosa.com

With all of its harmful plans some of the plans are to take down/restrict internet sites that have LGBTQ+ communities that means communities like the fan-fiction communities/sites in the United States.

I am only giving resources to those inside and out of the US in case they banned sites that hold fan-fiction. Better safe than sorry.

Being that I live in the US the possibly of mine and many others Fanfiction has the possibly of being in danger. Therefore I'm giving you recourses. (I'm not leaving or stopping my writing, I'm here for the fight!)

For those wanting to save my fanfiction, I give you permission to download them off of AO3 and to be used for your personal collection. Meaning, your eyes only. To clarify I’m saying this as others have asked if they could download my fanfic so for those who would like to you can.

If you do not know how to download them many others on online have tutorials on how to download them and add them to our phone libraries.

Here are some links to tutorials:

Buying Hosea flowers AAAAAAAH

[bigboy-lovers-unite-writes]

Imagine slapping their asses 🙏🙏

•Dutch; immediately pissed off, depends on who slapped his ass, he might push his cigar into their arm or something out of anger. Will grumble if it's his partner and shoo them away, smokes enough cigarettes after that to take away ten years on his life (it definitely made a camp deafening sound when they slapped it)

•Arthur; the most shocked face ever, just has to stand there for a minute to figure out whatever the fuck just happened. Will stumble over his words, before glaring at the person and chest bump them a few times, but secretly he's nearly popping a boner 💔💔

•John; eye twitches, trying to hold back grabbing his revolver and threatening the person. Says something sarcastic and crosses his arms like the dumb child he is. Will definitely be so damn embarrassed that he flushes as red as Sean's hair. Definitely blabs about it to Abigail later and gets huffy when she laughs

•Hosea; jumps a foot in the air and his body bends like a banana 😭 he's not mad, he'd never get mad, but he is a bit embarrassed about that. He sighs softly, tells a little story about his youth and how he would be able to handle it when he was younger as he rubbed his sore ass, then says he's too old for all that 🫶🫶

•Javier; yells out the loudest Spanish he's ever said, nearly falls forward from the shock of it as both hands go to cover his ass. Can't see it since he pulls his poncho up over his entire face, but he is burning bright red and thinking about it for the rest of the month. Will never trust being around the person again, will side eye them and cover his ass with anything if he's around them again 😢

•Bill; Two different ways this could go. One, he's drunk as a bitch and he hurls a beer bottle them and starts cursing and chasing them all over yelling about how he's no queer, even if it was a woman that slapped his ass, or he will just glare and threaten them a little bit and try to intimidate them if by god he's not drunk

•Kieran; actually stands up straight for once instead of being like a shrimp literally 24/7. Looks like a bug when you pick up a rock, eyes all wide and face flushed even pinker than it usually already naturally is. Definitely looks spaced out the rest of the day, probably can't stop thinking about it for sure

•Sean; gasps and is completely over dramatic, falling and pulling whoever slapped his ass down with him. Definitely tells everyone that the person slapped his ass, and he sounds strangely proud about it too..

•Lenny; poor boy doesn't know what to do, he's stuttering and gripping at his favorite book that he was reading, glancing around as he tried to say something. Might quirk a smile after a while, but it's whenever that person isn't around (he's so embarrassed don't do it again he can't handle it 💔)

•Micah; immediately cracks up and dares the person to slap his ass again, sticking it out slightly. He then promptly slaps that person's ass twenty times harder than they slapped his. It becomes a little game between the two whenever they see each other

•Charles; the absolute politest, might get a bit grumbly. 'oh my' is the first words outta his mouth 😭 will ask them why they did that and if it was supposed to be funny. He's like a mother in this sense, but also can't stop grinning since he actually liked it ❤️

He's back ✨
