#everyday i ask myself why i still go to fandom subreddits and it's like everyone has a hobby lmao

i often don't like wider fandom's ideas of what happen to jack after the end of red dead redemption. it's all always so goddamn nihilistic. we know approximately nothing about his life after the moment he kills ross.

i know there's the easter egg in gta but that's all it is. an easter egg. though i personally love the idea of writer jack and have a lot of my own personal headcanons that use that idea.

one could literally do anything with him, you know. plus the sheer amount of projection onto him as if the entirety of jack's character is erased. he's still jack marston not john or arthur or dutch. low honor while sometimes entertaining isn't often considered canon either.

also him calling a horse a nag is basically just calling it useless, old and worn out. the word has been used in connotation to horses for a very long time. so he's saying c'mon you useless horse but you think the way i've seen posts about it over the years he was being abusive.

jack marston at 19 is an angry young man holding onto a lot of hurts. truly the last victim of dutch van der linde but the player is invited to imagine what happens to him after that. does he continue the same cycle of violence or does he escape with edgar ross being his one and done?
