Even if John and Arthur didn't consider each other to be brothers, the fact that Arthur was 22 when he met John at *12* would make Arthur super predatory for pursuing John as soon as he was old enough. Like fine. Ship what you want I don't fucking care anymore I'm too tired to care about this anymore when there are bigger problems. But you cannot tell me that morston is not problematic in that regard.

I'm not saying you're a bad person or deserve to die or whatever for shipping it or for liking something Problematic(tm). But you cannot ignore that element about their relationship unless you just pick and choose what you consider to be canon. And at that point you might as well just make ocs.

#shut up casey #'but what about vandermatthews? they have 11 years between them!!!' ok but guess what they met when they were both adults.#its not like hosea knew dutch from when he ran away at 15.#dutch was 19 when he met hosea. 19 is an adult. barely an adult but an adult nonetheless.#i never said there wasnt problematic aspects to vandermatthews. even if they didnt start romantically pursuing each other until later #hosea was still 30 when he met dutch. u can figure it out #again i said im not trying to say ur a bad person for liking something problematic bc yeah vandermatthews is a little iffy in some parts #this isnt even about vandermatthews it was never about vandermatthews stop bringing it up as a 'gotcha!' when ppl attack your ship #again i dont care anymore. but you cannot take away that aspect about morston no matter how you slice it.
