#i love you low honour and high honour arthur

[historical-paramedics]

My thoughts on honour in rdr2 is not that it decides whether Arthur is a good man or a bad man because I feel like that doesn't really exist there's just people. Who do good things and do bad things and are a weird mix of the things they've done and experienced.

And I think for Arthur it's not that his low honour is a bad man it's that he's decided he's a bad man and doesn't give himself the chance to be anything other than that. I feel like the conversations with sister calderón is really important in presenting this, because she points out to him that people are more complicated than 'good', 'bad' like how she herself used to do bad things but she certainly isn't a bad person.

This is the same for Arthur he's not bad in low honour or even good in high honour the difference is that in high honour through things like talking to sister calderón at the train station Arthur allows himself the opportunity to do good things but in low honour he already believes he doesn't deserve it/isn't worth the effort and so doesn't give himself the chance to try.

Feel like it also comes down to a lot of how Arthur sees himself, we already know he has absolutely no self esteem from the way he talks to himself in the mirror/his journal. So maybe low honour is just Arthur with worse self esteem and not believing himself capable of being anything other than 'big scary outlaw'.

But also something about how no matter the honour he isn't just 'big scary outlaw' no matter how you play him or wtvr because no matter the honour Charles says "you're not as tough and dense as that" so whatever the honour charthur rules. That's right this was a charthur post the whole time (I'm rapidly going more insane someone switch me off)

Idk this might be really obvious or I could be way off the mark this is just some unhinged rambles from my rdr rotten brain 👍

- Arthur Morgan hcs ( high honour vs low honour ) 18+

HH!Arthur Morgan x Fem!reader / LH!Arthur Morgan x Fem!Reader

Request- LOVE your writing, can we get a high honor vs low honor Arthur in bed? HAVE A LOVELY DAY :D

A/N- ty to the anon for requesting this, I’m in one of those ruts where I’m struggling to write one shots more than like a few sentences here and there or hating everything and restarting a million times lol. So a HC request was a nice way to get me writing without thinking too hard 😭💀. I will say I have never and could never play low honour. So if it’s inaccurate well… it’s fanfiction. This is basically soft vs rough Arthur lmao

Masterlist

•Low honour•

- He’s a slightly selfish lover. If he comes first then he doesn’t particularly care if you haven’t

- Likes to use his size to his advantage. Hes taller. Heavier. Wider. Likes when he can pin you down and put his weight on you, trapping you in place. Size kink goes crazy

- Which also leads into his love of choking. And hair pulling. He just likes to manhandle you , he likes that he’s so much bigger and can just like… toss you around a bit. He likes knowing he can wrap his hand around your throat and have your literal life in his hands, and you just willingly let him.

- Of course he’s far tougher and rougher. HH!Arthur will spend ages working you up and relaxing you and making you come in the most blissfully world shattering way. LH!Arthur just wants to see how many times he can make you finish before you pass out

- OR. If he’s feeling particularly dickish. He’ll just edge you. For hours. Days. Simply because he thinks it’s funny. And he’s a jerk.

- Prone bone is one of his favs. He can trap you in place, press your face into his pillow and go to town.

- lip biter. Absolutely will tug your bottom lip between his teeth mid make out

- Possessive. Likes leaving hickeys all over you. Especially where others can see them. And he doesn’t like you hiding them either. He wants people to know you’re his

- He’ll praise you but it’s usually pretty degrading too. Like think ‘ who’s my good lil whore, hm? ‘

- Loveeeessssssss You giving him head. Loves it. And will actively ask for it unlike HH!Arthur

- The sloppier the better, roughly fucking himself into your mouth until you gag and choke and urging you to keep going? Yeah he loves that shit. ‘ that’s it. Good girl choke on it ‘ ‘ you can do better than that princess ‘

- DARE I SAY IT. DARE I SAY LH!ARTHUR HAS A GUN KINK. CAUSE- cue my silent war flashbacks to that one Tess gun kink fic I wrote.

- Ass man. Will smack it and grab it every chance he gets. Whether it’s in the bedroom or not.

- Finishes on your face, tits,ass. Likes the look of it it fills some possessive desire inside him. Like he’s marking you.

- And he ain’t tryna get you pregnant

- he may be an absolute dick but he does give you some aftercare. He’s not the cuddly type. But he’ll help you clean up and kiss you, tell you you did a good job. He’ll always make sure you’re doing okay because he loves you

•High honour•

- Treats you like you’re delicate. Even if he knows you’re not. He’s tender. Gentle. He worships you. There is not a single inch of skin unkissed, caressed. Loved.

- He always wants you to come first. And multiple times too. But in a different way to LH!Arthur. He doesn’t want to overstimulate you he just wants to give. Hes such a giver. And he would happily spend an entire day with his head between your thighs if he could.

- Like. This man is a munch. He is. Argue with the wall. He is

- And he’s damn good at it. And thorough. Buries his damn face in you. And you’ve seen the size of his hands, those thick fingers of his make an appearance too. He knows your body well and can hit the perfect spot with practiced ease ‘ that’s it darlin, right there yeah?’

- He’s sloppy with it and he doesn’t care. If his beard isn’t glistening with you when he’s done then he didn’t do it right

- He likes missionary. So he can see your face and kiss you as much as he wants, he just loves to watch you. He likes to see the way he makes you feel, likes to watch the way your face twists and relaxes with the pleasure he gives you.

- Praise!!! So much praise!!!

- ‘Doin so fell f’me darlin takin me so well ‘ ‘ look so pretty like this ‘ ‘ eyes on me darlin, wanna see that pretty face when you come ‘

- Loves you playing/pulling his hair. Whether it’s when he’s got his head between your thighs or when he’s buried deep inside you and you’re desperately clawing at him. He loves it

- He’s a boobs typa guy. Loves to grab them and and suck on them, especially if you have your fingers running through his hair at the same time.

- He likes to finish inside despite the risk. But if not he’ll wait until the very last second and pull out, just spilling onto your stomach. He doesn’t wanna… defile you. You’re a precious creature worthy of being worshipped and desired, not treated like some cheap saloon girl.

- But deep down he wouldn’t even mind if you did get pregnant. He wants nothing more than to have a family with you one day.

- the sweetest aftercare. Cleans you up and helps you get dressed again. The act of dressing someone rather than undressing them is so intimate and he loves it.

- he’ll cuddle you and pet your hair, tell you how much he loves and adores you. How beautiful you are, how good you made him feel. He literally is a never ending fountain of praise.

Fun fact, Kieran may have been originally supposed to live longer, at least judging by his many unused voice lines (found on YouTube) and a longer hairstyle which I actually think looks better for him (found on rdr wiki of cut content). Maybe he was supposed to go to Guarma? The voice lines to me suggested going on hunting missions with him but I’m not too sure.

spoilers. obviously

fun fact i have listened to the 2+ hours of Kieran's cut voice lines so many times even my housemates know it and groan when they walk in and i'm listening to it. Did you know one of his cut voice lines for a near miss in a shootout is 'whoo, nearly took my head off!' to foreshadow his eventual demise? And he has several variations of lines telling Arthur to rest with the gentlest tone suggesting he would have been one of the few characters to show concern for Arthur's illness in later chapters? And slightly less relevant but there is a cut interaction in where he asks Jack to sneak him some food only for Arthur to threaten to kill him BUT CALLING HIMSELF UNCLE KIERAN???

screenshots by cad5150

About Guarma, all but confirmed. Here is one of his cut outfits, which I think very obviously suits the vibe of what most of the gang wore in Guarma like compare it to Micah's Guarma outfit in particular. Additionally he has this hood as an outfit accessory: some people think it was intended that when he rides into camp Horsemen Apocalypse there's a moment of the hood being taken off and then the characters having a much more visceral reaction to his eyes being gauged out but personally I think it makes way more sense that he was meant to be in Banking, the Old American Art 'replacing' Sean as an extra gun. Which would have been really cool because I would have loved a conversation where they bring up they're a gun short and it spiral into more reflection on how they're not just a gun short, they're a man down, they lost the 'joy in their lives' Sean Macguire and they were still hurting instead of just NEVER MENTIONING HIM AGAIN other than a few rare character lines.

Side tangent also his scarf is different in his guarma outfit which is it's own essay because if you're going off the blue high honor red low honor theory this so strong implies we could have seen some really cool character development. looking at what the gang were wearing in banking and then in guarma there's no obvious explanation as to where he got it. how cute would it have been if we got a scene where mary-beth gifted him a scarf?? but the also terrifying implication that we might see kieran become less high honour good boy blorbo to someone a bit more morally ambiguous?

I think the question really is how he would have fit in in Guarma, which of course we will never know and considering how much cut content there is about Guarma. Like everyone else in Guarma makes sense: Dutch's descent into immorality being so clear even Arthur questions it, Bill being the one trusted to look after Javier following his rescue, supporting their friendship in rdr1, Micah reaffirming his position as an actual piece of shit in his lines responding to Hosea and Lenny's deaths and complete lack of empathy. Maybe a kieran who is slightly more ruthless and active in shootouts in guarma but also shows compassion for arthur as arthur gets sick? Maybe the attack on Hanging Dog Ranch was meant to be more a revenge for Kieran's death assuming he was taken and killed similarly to his death in chapter 4 (given how much much foreshadowing there is for his death), but just another misery in chapter 6 that hits harder because we have more time to grow attached and see him develop?

Except. Except then we get to cut outfit kieran.

first. hellooooo sailor. but who is this man. who is this man who looks older. and wears a very, very low honour red scarf. and is obviously dressed still as an outlaw, and didn't go live a happy life with mary-beth. is it. is it possible. kieran was not always meant to be doomed by the narrative??

is it possible we would have seen kieran become more loyal to dutch and micah, true to his army abandoning, gang jumping, choosing to ride with the o'driscolls rather than die, immediately 'loyal' to the vdls despite torture because being alone meant certain death, coward nature? or would he have just been a character john could encounter in the epilogue? perhaps shaken by knowing arthur, as one of his very, very few friends, died trying to be a better person and abandoned any effort to be more than an outlaw?

but. but kieran. shirt all buttoned up. scarf on. thick coat. hair slightly feral and wild. why does it looked like you're all dressed up for the cold, buddy? like- like you might have been hiding out up mount hagen.

𝑺𝑭𝑾🌿

After a long day, your s/o decides to take you to a nearby tavern and have a drink. It had been a while since either of you had gotten out without a duty to do. However, your evening was cut short when a drunken asshole insulted you.

𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐍

・Merlin would never be able to keep such a big secret from his spouse; he'd want to give every part of himself to you. And so he had. You welcomed the secret with open arms.

・So when you made your way down to the tavern after a particularly challenging day, you were not expecting to be outright insulted.

・The bald fat (toothless) man let the words escape his drunken mouth without the hint of a thought of consequence.

・Big motherfucking mistake.

・A bewildered laugh came from Merlin. His mind already sifting through the many spells he was about to use.

・You looked at him, and simply nodded. This day had been too heavy, and the insult, no matter how untrue, was still hurtful.

・'Out of nowhere' (as some patrons would later explain it), the man flew from his chair and landed in the lap of the burliest man there.

・Strong man was furious and as he looked down, anger rose within him (you could physically see it ... he turned red...)

・Without even lifting a finger, your hater had been punched, and kicked straight out of the tavern. Not before Merlin made him land in a pile of dung.

𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐓

・When your honour is in question Lancelot does not play around.

・As he hears the insult, automatically, his head moves to the left, and he blinks once.

・Without a word he unsheaths his sword and waits for the low life to do the same.

・When the low life doesn't, Lancelot makes someone give him a sword, and drags him outside.

"I'm going to make you think twice before saying such filth."

・And the high pitch ring of steel on steel rang out in the air.

・The whole time your head was in your hands, because truly, you had heard worse. You were tough, and all you wanted to do was get a bit sloshed with your hot ass husband.

・But no, he insisted on fighting for your honour ... like he always does.

・And low and behold, the Knight of Camelot won.

"Are you alright, my love?" Lancelot's lips were pressed against your ear, and you nodded.

"You know you don't have to do that for me-"

"Oh I know," he replies quickly, giving you a half smile. "But you are my spouse. And I will always protect you."

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐔𝐑

・Scoffs, a smirk on his lips as his eyes narrow on the idiot who insulted you.

"Do you know who I am? Well... I guess not. Someone with a brain would never insult the King nor his Queen/Consort"

・Gasps were heard around the tavern

And the man went as pale as Gaius' hair

"Ah, I see you've figured it out. Thought I might have to spell it for you."

"Oh Arthur," you scolded, bumping his shoulder.

・You had heard it all in your lifetime, and one day you decided that the words of sheep do not affect a tiger.

"What would you like me to do with him, my love? The dungeons? The stocks?"

・You watched as the man quivered. He would have been in his mid-twenties, barely a whisker on his chin.

"Hmmmm," you pretended to think. Your mind already made up. It was a silly little comment, from a silly little boy.

・Arthur knew you too well, his gaze turned stern on the young man. A rusted sword hanging on his hilt. He had begun to shake.

"I think we should leave him be. Maybe he won't let his tongue wag so freely."

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐋

"Excuse me? What was that?"

・Percival instantly shot up from his seat at the table. The candle flickered as he did so, and you reached out to steady it.

"Perci, it's fine, really." You mumbled, not wanting to draw more attention to yourself. But one of the positives of having such a huge husband is that he will win against nearly anyone in a fight.

・Well, most of the time, men are too scared to even fight him.

・As was your insulter.

・Whose bravado slowly diminished as he watched the large Knight loom over him.

"What I- what I meant was-"

"Apologise."

"Sorry, I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean it!"

"Now leave."

"Yes, yes of course!"

・You were actually impressed by the cowardice of this man. He didn't put up one ounce of a fight. Just followed exactly what Percival said.

"Thank you," you whispered, a smile appearing on your face.

"No. Never thank me. I will always stand up for you."

𝐄𝐋𝐘𝐀𝐍

・A raise of his eyebrow, and a turn of the head. A cold, intimidating demeanour washing over him. Elyan noticed the clean face, shining armour and coat of arms on the man's cloak.

"Say that again. I dare you." His voice was a growl; low and rumbling.

・The man, no, knight, did not shrink or apologise.

"Oh what a match. The marred and the deaf. A great pair-" the knight turned around and laughed with his men.

"Mmm." Elyan looked at the arse like a snake deciding on dinner.

・Your hand itched to grab the dagger at your waist, but Elyan knew you too well.

・Looking at you, he put a hand on your arm and slightly nodded his head. I want to handle this, his eyes said.

・Folding your arms, you took a step back, 'be my guest,' you answered with a smile.

𝐆𝐖𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄

・Aggressive asf

・Doesn't even ask who said it first, he just throws himself at anyone and everyone who laughs

・Absolutely punching and kicking, grabbing heads and banging them together.

・You shake your head but join in, because that's part of the reason Gwaine loves you. You never let him have all the fun.

・And you would never let anyone talk crap about you. Especially to your face. That's not the reputation you wanted to hold.

・But who knew brawls could be romantic? With Gwaine somehow they are...

・Especially when he holds a man down so you can give him a few punches, Gwaine smiling at you.

"That's my girl/that's my guy"

・But it's not like you're allowed into many taverns anymore

・Only when Arthur, the King is there, that you're allowed to enter.

𝐋𝐄𝐎𝐍

・Instantly his nose flares, invisible steam streaming from them.

"Apologise. This instant."

"Ooohooo," was the only reply he got. Along with the awful sound of drunk men's laughter. Well, more like coughing and wheezing.

"I'll ask one more time. After that, you'll be on the ground."

・The men barely looked in your husbands direction. Big mistake...

・Leon moved to block your view of what he was about to do.

・Because his word was truth.

・Within a second, the man who insulted you was on the floor, nose broken and bleeding.

・Once he's sorted it out, Leon turns to you and holds out his arm for you to take.

"Are you alright my love?" His concern falls on you and doesn't leave until you're feeling better.

[moonpetrichors-blog]

So I finished RDR2 last week...

Spoilers below the cut!!

There is something both so hauntingly beautiful yet tragic about Arthur's death. Like anyone else I cried while playing and after the credits rolled, but Arthur's death scene struck me as familiar to a certain imagery I'm sure anyone who likes to read tarot would agree with; it was very reminiscent of the 10 of swords.

"The Ten of Swords indicate a major disaster of some sort. It shows that a certain force of extreme magnitude has come to hit you in your life - one that you may have not foreseen."

This is obviously his TB diagnosis.

"There is a sense of betrayal that is indicated here, for the character is stabbed in the back. This seems to be a reminder that despite how much we try, we cannot control everything - there are things that are beyond our ability to change. Here, this situation is unavoidable."

Dutch's breakdown and Arthur's subsequent shift in his outlook.

"The tale of the suit of swords is a powerful metaphor, one that ends in tragedy. The swords are a symbol of the intellect, of intelligence and logic, and yet we find the final culmination of this suit a complete and total defeat of the spirit. We must realize that the swords are a weapon that can have immense potential for destruction or for good."

Representative of low vs high honour. Redemption.

But you know what else 10 of swords means? Endings creating new beginnings. The clearing skies, the sunrise - it represents the cycle of death birthing something new. While this ending for Arthur kind of takes on a literal meaning, I love how his actions and sacrifices lived on through John and his family.

Anyways, beautiful story that shattered my heart to pieces and left me in awe.

[the-kr8tor]

Ph yeah me too I killed random people too because why not? ALSO MY HORSE KEEPS DYING I SWEAR. IT ALWAYS FLYS AWAY. Also my favourite part is dressing up the cowboys I think on my first playthrough I got low honour ( IT WAS HORRIBLE) so i replayed for high honour

I love to combine my interests. Hobie would be a sick gunslinger

LMAOOO Me too! I love dressing up my multiplayer character and Arthur (turned them into my barbie dolls 🤣🤣)

YOUR HORSE KEEPS FLYING??? HOW??? I've only had one horse die on me (i was devastated) bc I love them sm. I had the highest honour bc Arthur is a sweet baby angel who can't do anything wrong (he has killed so many ppl)

Hobie as a gunslinger you say?? 🤔

[matpotatoes]

I believe honour systems in games are usually poorly implemented, mostly because of how *non-sensical* they are.

You really can't make the same protagonist switch between being an angelic force for good/batshit crazy without it destroying the credibility of the plot, and yet it is what most video games do.

But it works so well in RDR2 (for the plot, I'm not talking about the gameplay elements surrounding the system) due to its absolutely stellar writing and characterization of Arthur Morgan. Both sides of the story *fits his character perfectly*. I've always wanted to rant about this, so here goes:

The foundation of Arthur Morgan built on the fact that he is a violent, angry, and broken man. He has felt love, and he has had it taken away from him, and he has seen the absolute worst of what the world has to offer.. He has has been through the *wringer*, and it was before the game even begins. Added points for Rockstar for NOT making him a cookie-cutter stoic, gruff hero like so many other stories. Our protagonist here still appreciates much of the little things the world has to offer. This also helps in keeping things fun in side quests and stuff without making it seem out of place for the character! It also adds to him being as endearing as he is.

[POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME YET]

The honour system is there to decide where we can take Arthur from here, in the final acts of his life. High-honour Arthur finds it in himself to seek redemption, and do some good before his end.

Low-honour Arthur on the other hand embraces the violence that he *thinks* is innate to his nature. All the while trying to save the last bits of hope his gang has, because that's all he has ever had. (Or not even that, depending on what ending you chose.)

I might not be doing proper justice to just how nuanced they made the characters in this game. They really portrayed a method of storytelling that could only be done with the dynamicity of a video game, and i wish more developers took note of this and delivered.

i get weirdly defensive over low honour arthur. not because i think he's defensible in any manner, but because i think the low honour aspects of this game are really interesting and thought provoking. as much as i appreciate the catharsis of giving arthur a more satisfactory ending, there is some really underrated characterization and writing that i feel goes unnoticed and under-appreciated sometimes.

[margowritesthings]

thoughts about mob boss!Arthur were hot AF here, but I do have a feeling that he wouldn't let anyone to see her in naked or vulnerable state. He would be super protective, don’t you think?

I guess that brings about the question of low honour!mob Arthur and high honour!mob Arthur..

I think low honour Arthur would love to punish her for showing off in front of him by showing her off to everyone. The whole “you wanna be looked at, huh? Gawked at by all these eyes while I fuck you? That’s why you wear all these slutty little dresses, huh?”

But high honour Arthur is a whoooole other story. He would burn the world for her, he’d kill a bastard just for looking at her the wrong way. He’s untouchable out on the club floor, a ruthless man until you walk in and he softens his features and makes a show of walking you to your seat (his lap) and buying her the most expensive bottle of champagne and kissing her and grabbing you. He loves that all eyes are on her but he’s the only one who gets to see her at her most vulnerable

[amorgansgal]

Hi friend! I’m pretty new (and late) to the red dead fandom sadly. Do you have any good fic recs that I absolutely must start with? I’m looking for some classic reader x Arthur fics. Also I don’t know if this is a popular thing at all but do you know any Molly fics? Her story is so sad and I was wondering if there’s any somber ones out there that you know of about like her when first meeting Dutch. Anyways, thank you!! Love your posts 🤠🤍

Hello! Well me too in a way, I only got here in January 2021! So welcome on board! I've done a selection of my favourite fics in the fandom, which has led me to realise I read a lot of smut. So if that's not for you please let me know and I can find some others (or maybe other people can comment with their suggestions).

Arthur Morgan x Reader

Neighbourly Affection by @verai-marcel. It's an amazing modern au with both High Honour and Low Honour Arthur Morgan. Verai writes incredible Arthur/Reader fics, so I would recommend everything they've done anyway!

Happy Wife, Satisfied Life by SaintLilin. It's a really wonderful fic about being Arthur Morgan's wife and feeding him all sorts of delicious meals (seriously, the smut took second place because I was drooling over the food descriptions)!

Of Bounties and Born Liars by SaintLilin. Arthur Morgan and a bounty hunter fic, but it's more around them working together and hints at a previous relationship.

Arthur Morgan x OC

I appreciate you didn't ask for these, but these fics are absolutely amazing and their writers should definitely have more love.

The Bison, The Stag and The Songbird by @giraffiqpark. Really wonderful story with Arthur Morgan x Charles Smith x OFC. It's a real slow burn and giraffiqpark is doing an incredible job at dragging us along and making us suffer! :D

The Flower & the Serpent by AnMorrighan. It's an amazing story that covers the life of the gang pre-RDR2 and works so well in not disrupting what happens within RDR2. It's got some really great historical details, especially about Irish history. Do be prepared to cry.

Blackbird's Song by TheTiniestTortoise. If you do want to be in denial and want everyone to live happily ever after then this is the fic for you! Surprisingly, how they change the story doesn't feel forced or unrealistic.

Molly O'Shea

I've only recently found love for Molly (I know, shame on me)! So I haven't read much. But here are two I've read and enjoyed.

Some Shameless Indulgence by luxgloriana. It's an Arthur Morgan x Molly O'Shea fic. Appreciate not everyone's cup of tea, but I love the idea of Arthur stealing Dutch's gal and treating her right!

In A Rich Man's World by intheforest-hides-a-light (stinatinde). More of an exploratory piece around Molly's feelings towards Dutch and how he behaves towards her.

[neon-junkie]

Hi there! If you haven't done it before, could I request HCs or drabbles with f!reader receiving anal (either first time or 1000th time idc) with Arthur, Micah, Dutch or anyone else you'd like. Please and thank you :))))

hell yeah you can!!

Arthur

Arthur's bottomed for men before so he can understand the attraction, but not so much when a woman wants to do it. "You ain't got your prostate up there so uh, I ain't too sure why you wanna try it?"

He's not going to say no. If anything, Arthur is curious to see what it'll be like for the both of you.

As always, he's slow and gentle, following your signals and going at your pace. Arthur has convinced himself that he's going to split you in two, so he's as gentle as he can be.

He's not the type to ask to do anal, but if you ask, then he'll always accept.

High honour Arthur will rub your clit as he fucks you, but low honour Arthur will finger you instead, maybe rub your clit with his other hand if he can.

Micah

Oh, he loooooves a cheeky bit of anal (both giving or receiving hehe.)

Sometimes he'll ask if you two can do anal, but he'd much rather you come onto him and state that you're going to do it.

He's not fussy when it comes to positions, as long as he's able to watch how much you gape when he slips his cock out.

Micah will definitely attempt to finger you whilst he fucks your ass, but moans that his wrist hurts from the funny angle. You'll have to settle with him rubbing your clit instead, which can be a win for some women.

If you're a squirter, and you squirt whilst doing anal, then Micah will get down on one knee and propose then and there; Micah melts at the thought of that, so being with a woman who can actually do it is going to turn him into mush.

Dutch

He's the type of man who wants you wearing plugs and various other toys in public. He'll rile you up, put a plug in, and then take you out to the saloon for a few hours, simply because he's a dick.

Dutch loveslovesloves it when you're already waiting for him in your tent, a jewelled plug in, hiding beneath your lingerie.

He's always happy to go down on you, especially when he can eat your pussy whilst working your ass open with his fingers or a toy.

His favourite position is doggystyle; he loves watching you bounce back on his cock, and seeing how wide you can gape.

Surprisingly, Dutch is great with after care, especially with sexual acts that require greater effort, like anal.

[its-deputy-caleb]

11 33 34!!

11. most OOC thing [micah] did

(i’m just gonna pick micah bc hes my fav)

i’d probably say sending a letter to amos and then reading the response was one of his more out of character moments.

33. 3 reasons the series game brings you comfort

1) there is always so much to do that you can never get bored when you replay it.

2) red dead is perfect for every mood, sometimes i’m hyped and love the action packed missions and others i’m so tired that i just go hunting with arthur for a week and take pretty pictures

3) they made the cowboys and cowgirls attractive

34. 3 things you would change about the series game

1) i wished there was more of a difference between the low honour and high honour ending. (ik arthur is supposed to be better than most and that’s why he’s still the hero even with low honour) but i would’ve loved to see like high honour arthur dies on the hill and helps john start his family and the in contrast have arthur be on the side of dutch and more low honour like bill and micah with different missions bc it would’ve made it more interesting imo

2) theyd let me get the fox trotter as arthur :(

3) thomas downes ceasing to exist

[messrmoonyy]

I have random questions because I have to know how you’re playing with Arthur. what fit is he in? What length do you have his hair? High or low honor run? And which is your favorite town?

I don’t know all the names without checking but I do know it’s black opulent vest, the black leather chaps, black boots, black riding gloves, white shirt with the sleeves rolled and the collar open and his gambler hat.

High honour

Anddd idk I just love valentine. Strawberry is so cute too but it’s so smalllll. And saint Denis is pretty cool but it’s like low honour heaven I can’t step foot in there without accidentally running someone over with my horse or the fucking trolleys tryna take my horse out😭💀

[verdemoun]

one of my few complaints about red dead 2 was that the 4 endings were all the same. I felt like if R* wanted to have multiple endings, they could have at least made them different, maybe with different characters involved changing the course of events.

What I thought would be interesting is a chain-of-events system, where doing one drastic action would lead to something different, and the missions that would change events being unlocked by having high or low honour. For example, high honour would unlock a mission to save Kieran after Jack’s party, and low honour would unlock a mission to save Strauss from Pinkertons around the same time.

i know exactly what you mean it would be so fun if rdr came out with a more interactive drama format and secret endings like until dawn but i also think it would lose some of its charm? so much of the narrative of rdr as a whole is built on the inevitability of the characters' fates. arthur says multiple times in chapter one he is going to die an outlaw, there's no escape for him, dutch warning john the agency will only be looking for another monster after he's dead, ultimately true when he meets his end, jack making the choice to seek revenge and becoming an outlaw despite everyone trying to give him the chance for a life better than that ect.

and of course part of the challenge of rdr2 is that it has to at least sort of match rdr1. bill, javier and dutch have to live and become evil. john, abigail, uncle and jack have to live and end up at beecher's hope together. i personally love the idea of if you save one character, another dies eg if you tackle sean quicktime event style having seen the sniper aiming at him, bill gets killed, but of course that wouldn't work.

it would be really fun though to have a chain of events system that changed some outcomes. the biggest gripe for me is that yes arthur has to die it's such a major part of the game and part of john's motivation to change but i really just want an ending where he doesn't die alone because that hurt me.

let me choose to send micah to the downes ranch. moss spends too much time on hypotheticals under the cut

1. saving sean in rhodes, resulting in sean coming to guarma and javier escaping during the chase through saint denis. sean gets into a fistfight with either micah or arthur depending on honor, resulting in the person he is fighting being the one captured in place of javier. the gang who stayed behind are obviously wary of javier, with a mission explaining how much abusive and power hungry he was while they were gone. some members of the gang leaving even before beaver hollow. 2. if you had high honor AND arthur didn't drink during jack's party, you'd get the option to be on guard duty. this would allow you to kill some o'driscolls attempting to sneak into camp, but also funnier options like not letting swanson wander off while drunk (if you don't, he gets attacked by alligators and dies), catching micah stealing extra rations from the food cart, and bill very very badly trying to flirt with arthur. 3. kieran living would result in kieran ratting to the pinkertons in an effort to get dutch captured or killed. when caught he'd give a very desperate speech about how dutch was worse than colm because at least colm didn't pretend to care, revealing what a creep dutch was to most of the women in camp (that one dutch interation with mary-beth brother ew), and arguing none of them would be safe if they kept following dutch because dutch was obviously losing whatever it was they used to see in his 'teachings'. high honor, kieran is allowed to leave with mary-beth quickly deciding to go with him, or low honor he is killed in camp for being a traitor. 4. arthur can choose to start shooting and save hosea during saint denis. this directly leads to lenny being shot in the shootout, with the choice to carry him or leave him behind. carrying him results in him dying of infection on the boat, but chapter 5 starts on the ship with the option to sit beside lenny and have a honor-changing conversation where lenny asks why arthur started shooting when of course dutch would have found a way to save hosea OR hosea reprimanding arthur for rescuing him at the cost of lenny's life, warning him that no life was worth more than another. low honor arthur would counter they decided which lives were worth more than others everytime they went robbing 5. if you save hosea, arthur tells john to go ahead during the attack on beaver hollow because hosea is struggling to keep up during the climb OR hosea tells john to go because arthur is struggling if arthur has tb. 6. if micah went to the downes ranch instead, it's possible for arthur to successfully beat and kill micah in their last fight since he has an obvious advantage. only to get shot by pinkertons (high honor) or dutch (low honor). 7. the secret ending would be if micah has tb, hosea lives AND arthur has low honor, dutch and hosea get into a stand off after dutch shoots arthur. dutch may have been willing to shoot arthur, but not hosea. he walks away and hosea gets to hold arthur and comfort him as he bleeds out. the first newspaper available for purchase in the epilogue would confirm the pinkertons caught up to hosea and arthur, killing both. the real devastation would be that going to where arthur's grave usually ends results in a surprise cutscene with charles already being there, saying it's where he would have liked arthur to be buried instead, and that he was a confusing, complicated man but he did love him (charthur confirmed ending). 8. there would be an achievement for sneaking onto the grounds of sisika, and finding two unmarked graves for hosea and arthur respectively.

camp nano update #3

project: cosmopolitan

status: 3rd draft, writing

word count: 8.6k/50k

They’re finally there! They have entered the Cosmopolitan Café! This took longer than i expected, especially since i needed some time to design this palace of sin to my satisfaction, but it worked! Also I haven’t really been able to write the last couple days bc of school, but it should be better from now on! I really have to hurry if i want to come somewhere close to my goal haha

an excerpt:

Meanwhile, Alex introduced them. "Clarence Deshmukh, the Honourable Alistair Hillingham-Forbes and, um-" he broke off. Every time he had to say his name, he found it terribly difficult to add his title.

Alistair answered in his place. "Lord Alexander Arthur Edward Harris," he said with a mild, superior tone in his voice.

The girl blushed at the collection of distinguished young lords in front of her and cleared her throat sheepishly.

"Did you have to do that?" Alex hissed furiously. "I hate that all people think they are dealing with some kind of god when they hear that I am a lord. My name without a title is quite enough for me. In fact, even just Alex will do."

"Believe me," Alistair replied in a patronising tone," I've done you a favour. In places like this, a noble origin can be very useful."

They were assigned a table and led down the grand staircase by their new friend, who turned out to be "Clementine".

It's like being in a zoo, Alex thought as he noticed the eyes of almost everyone present following them. Admittedly, there were not very many guests present because it was quite early in the evening and most people were probably still working, but he was quite glad when they finally arrived at their table.

Clementine now left them, but it was only a short time before another girl, also wearing chequered stockings, appeared and handed them a wine list with exaggerated care.

Alex didn't give it a glance. Instead he said, "We'd like the most expensive and best you have, and a bottle of champagne anyway."

"I'm relatively sure you can't afford that," Clarence said.

"I can afford anything, haven't you noticed?"

"Nonsense, you can't even afford a taxi to Piccadilly."

"That's another matter. So, as I said, the most expensive wine you've got along with a bottle of champagne and by the way, it's on me!"

Satisfied, Alex nodded to the round.

"I don't know how you intend to pay for it, but of course I won't say no to that," Alistair said, leaning back in satisfaction. "Well, what do you say now? Did I promise you too much?"

Alex shook his head. He had sensed immediately that he loved this place.

The three large chandeliers hanging high up from the ceiling spread a pleasant light, at once golden and subdued, which combined with the low murmur of the still few guests and the delicate piano tinkling that emanated from a corner where a lonely pianist was playing melancholy love songs. He was certainly not well paid.

[vanderlindemangofarm]

Heya! How do you think Javi, Charles and Arthur (low/high honour up to you!) would react to having a girlfriend who is really into getting fingered. I mean multiple orgasms, squirting, screaming. The faster and harder the better! 🙈

Oh myyyyy. Yes, I can certainly write about this for you!

Javier Escuella/Charles Smith/Arthur Morgan - Fingering (headcanons - female reader)

Javier

Javier adores all forms of foreplay, but fingering is his favourite.

He loves being able to unravel you with such a simple act, using so little of his own body. It really gets him off. 

He presses himself against you as you lay on the bed, his eyes never leaving yours. 

He smirks as the wet sounds make you blush. 

When you plead with him to go harder, faster, he sucks on your neck, making you cry out. 

“You really want more?”

“P...p-please...please, Javi...” 

“Your wish is my command.”

He thrusts his finger in and out effortlessly, expertly, often using two or more at a time. 

When you climax he carries on, watching beads of sweat appear on your forehead as you feel yourself crashing down again and again. 

He cleans you up with his tongue. He’s a gentleman, after all. 

Charles

Much like Javier, Charles is the king of foreplay. He can’t get enough of it. He’d happily spend all night making you orgasm over and over rather than get off himself.

He’s a tease, be warned. He knows how much you love feeling his fingers inside you and he wants you to work a little for them. 

He places feather-light kisses across your neck, collarbones, shoulders and chest as his index finger softly grazes your cunt. 

Only when he can feel you seeping into the mattress, whimpering, moaning for him, does his enter you.

One finger is enough for you to feel full, but you want more, always. If you’re a good girl, perhaps he’ll give you what you want, he whispers into your ear. 

Making you squirt is Charles’s biggest turn-on. He can’t get enough of seeing you so vulnerable, so trusting of him, so raw. 

He’s beaming with pride as you writhe beneath him, soaked and hot. 

Watching him slowly pull out and suck your juices from his fingers is almost enough to send you over the edge again. 

Arthur (neutral honour) 

Arthur loves the feeling of taking care of his girl, of spoiling her. Whatever you want, you’ll get. 

And you’ll get plenty of it, too. 

Be prepared for dirty talk, his breath hot against your ear, his voice lowered to a growl. 

He sits you on his lap, perched on his thigh, completely naked against the rough denim of his jeans. He parts your legs with a strong, calloused hand and starts to massage you with a lazy confidence. 

You lay back against his bare chest, nuzzling into the soft bed of hair. 

When he pushes his finger inside you he covers your mouth to stifle your mewling, a grin on his face. 

He holds you steady as you writhe and buckle, your head lolling back as you gasp. 

He’ll coax as many climaxes from you as you can take. You asked for this, after all. 

But he’ll say the sweetest words to you, cooing at you, his free hand gently running up and down the side of your torso. 

His fingers curl inside you, stretching you, commandeering you.

He won’t stop until you’re trembling and teary-eyed and in utter bliss.
