Harmonica’s Story page 1 + 2 /?

I worked on this for the past week and I’m still working on a ongoing series but will be slow

Also thanks to my close friends helping me out with the process 💕

There's thousands of details in rdr2 that I really love, and I say it all the time, but if I had to pick one as my favourite? It would be the campfire interactions.

From chapter one to even the epilogues, there's always something going on around a campfire.

It's always touched me in an emotional way, but the vulnerability, honesty and silliness that comes out of gang members during late night/early hour campfire conversations? It's truly a beautifully written and well executed feature that I spend a lot of time paying attention to.

The campfire is almost like the gang's communal safe space. They're free to talk, vent, sing or play instruments, and the others around will simply sit and listen or sing along. They bond over sharing these funny stories and tall tales, you have the opportunity to learn so much from the gang members by just listening around the campfire.

Lenny will talk about his father and their hardships, Hosea will talk about how much he misses Bessie or how special Dutch is to him, Reverend Swanson will be open about his addiction and the relationship he has with religion, Abigail will voice her frustrations about John, Bill will talk about how he got discharged from the army, John will talk about his worries regarding Dutch's leadership, Micah will talk about damnation and being prepared for hell, and Javier will be open about Mexico or his mother passing away and not being able to bury her.

There's plenty more, there's hundreds of different campfire interactions, but on a rare occasion - Arthur will talk. He'll sit down and begin apologising for how things have turned out, he'll admit how he's struggling to find a way forward for everyone and that he doesn't want to die but is willing to, then he'll ask for their forgiveness and excuse himself shortly after.

I find it hard to describe how despite gang members having differing options of each other, there's an unspoken mutual closeness that they share whilst talking around the fire. They'll jest and laugh and quip, but they'll also simply listen when they need to.

It's so wonderful.

whatever performed by oasis live at maine road in 1996. that's all.

there are many stories about this iconic incident but my favourite explanation is that noel always wanted the crowd to sing the first verse with liam coming in later but liam jumped the gun and noel stopped him which ended in liam just going 'you sing the fucking song then' and noel doing it but fucking up even worse 😭

iconic. one of the best renditions tbh 😩

- wings like stardust

- when alligators fly

- idk i’m so bad at coming up with titles sorry skskfjf (this isn’t a real one)

- tuning a harmonica (brain why /silly)

Wing like Stardust:

Third year in the academy, and Fischer still can’t make heads or tails of star charts apart from the basic one, let alone ones made as ships travel into unknown territory. They’re failing, they’re frustrated, and they’re mildly insulted when the instructor suggests they work with a “star student” (the pun wasn’t funny) from their second year class.

Cade is a little put off by Fischer’s distance and mood. He’s not put off at all when Fischer gets so worked up during an attempted study session that they burst into tears. The two of them turn the study session into connect the dots- dragonflies, apples, bunnies. And if imagining the star charts the pattern on a dragonfly's wing somehow happens to help Fischer pass the next exam? Well… that’s just a coincidence, surely.

When Alligators Fly:

Restless and feeling lonely, Rory can't quite seem to get comfortable in bed. He's tired though, but sleep just doesn't seem to come! And Capri isn't back for another week or so. He gathers up his pillow and blanket for a "sleepover" in the living room, right next to his music box. He puts in one of the music discs that Capri had recorded for him, chock full of stories of her adventures.

It's a soft, comforting story. This particular one tells of a place she'd gotten to once before, and not since. A mystical place, with sheep quite literally as soft as clouds and creatures who dwelled in dungeon-like monuments. All sorts of beasts roamed the skies- after all, this doman was almost nothing but sky! Sheep and cows (or at least, they looked like it!) were winged, though several creatures looked like nothing she had seen before. The story-Capri remarks, "With everything I've seen, what's next? I'll turn and see a 'gator fly out of the swamps!"

Tuning a Harmonica:

Much to his own delight and everyone else’s misery, Ward comes back from a visit to an arcade with the most neon plastic harmonica any of them have ever seen. With two weeks of shore leave having just started the day before, Bones resigns himself to two weeks of “musical genius”. Of course, he wouldn’t dare deny the rest of their that opportunity as well, much to the dismay of Kirk and Spock (especially Spock).

(And if they don’t realize until the last day that Cooper hadn’t ditched as soon as he saw Ward’s gleeful ticket trade- well… they’re only lucky until Ward catches his sib to make up for the missed performances.)

So apparently in CAR if you reach the part where you need pliers to re-attach Spook 10s’s arm Ingrid just gives them to you.

So when you go to the hidden room that would normally have the pliers nothing happens at all and you never get to have Elliot try and drop a ceramic puffer fish on Nancy.
