#john marston appreciation post

[arthursfuckinghat]

"That happen a lot.. in this line of work?"

"Yeah, they're all people like me."

[cowgirlcasanova]

I made the mistake of clicking on a link to a reddit thread about abigail marston.

the way the men on there talk about her makes me physically feel sick. the names they call her, the way they describe her and john’s relationship, the way they constantly bring up her past in a negative way.

They seem to lack any and all artistic thinking skills. to me, one of the main points of media and art is how you’re supposed to analyze and discover the things they aren’t outright said. You have to dig a little deeper, you have to actually think. The people on that godforsaken website seem to just not have/be able to do that!

abigail was a prostitute. yes, we all know this men of reddit and it’s okay! please shut up about it!!!!

she was also an orphan, even worse for the time, an orphaned girl. she had little to no opportunities in the world she was born into. EVEN JOHN KNOWS THIS. “she’s a woman in a man’s world” and they act personally offended on johns behalf. john was an orphan too, i can promise you he understands how hard it is to survive and he doesn’t look down on her! Not that it even begins to matter if john or anyone else “understands” her reasoning for her choice of survival. It doesn’t. it simply matters that abigail was incredibly strong throughout that time of her life and rest. she survived and did whatever she could to and that is to be appreciated.

These men seem to have this one single idea that “abigail was prostitute so john thought baby not his cause so many men 🤓” SHUT. UP. no actually that was so much more actually john not ready to be a father and being afraid of himself!!!! honestly speaking, the entirety of that situation has very little to do with abigail herself. but no they’ll never understand that because it was written out in black and white and you may have to think a little to get to that conclusion. not to mention, they could never accept it because then john marston wouldn’t be as “alpha” BE QUIET IM BEGGING YOU.

the way they discuss abigail and uncle made my skin crawl. there is nothing else said about that relationship, there is no one specific cannon explanation as to how or why they knew each other. but the men i saw discussing it said such disgusting and vulgar things about how uncle “reallyyy knew abigail”. truly horrifying. There’s so many different ways they could’ve crossed paths. she was a prostitute but that’s not all she was. she was still a woman, a person. i can assure you she had other hobbies and activities that she did, that she enjoyed doing.

not to mention how it seems to be such an odd and disgusting fantasy for them that “everyone in the gang had abigail” i hate to break it to you but no they didn’t! Now this is up for debate for a lot of people and i actually want to make an entire post just dedicated to this. When looking at both instances where that was said, it was purposely said to hurt john and throw him off. not to mention, abigail was never around when it was said. There wasn’t an instance of anyone saying it in camp or even throwing an insult to john about it in rdr2. hmmm i wonder why that is????? Bill said it to make him stumble and dutch said it because he knows john and he knows how to hit him where it hurts. But, i don’t think any of it is true. of course no internet bro is going to actually think into enough to even be curious so!

abigail marston is someone to be admired. someone who persevered as much as any man in that gang but she doesn’t get the same appreciation. she probably had to work just as hard if not harder than some of the men just to stay alive in her youth. Abigail marston is not a nag, she’s not annoying, she’s not “mean” to john. take a step back and look at what she’s responding to and give her the same grace you give arthur and john. “oh well arthur just had a hard time showing emotions because of the way he was raised” “oh john couldn’t deal with everything so he ran away for a little bit it’s okay.” let abigail have that same grace.

so sorry this was not meant to be this long. clearly it has been nagging at me. if you read this love you and love abigail marston!

red dead headcanons (mostly about the marstons) that i love <3

- john and charles were good friends in the days of the gang, and they were closer than most would assume. they didnt have to think of anything to say, they could just be quiet together, which is really appreciated in such a busy camp

- when jack is grown up (post-epilogue), he writes the /red dead/ book that we see in GTA. (I would be so proud of him)

- john probably learned a bit of many different languages growing up in chicago, which would explain how he knows a bit of spanish, french and chinese. he was way better at spanish when he was a kid but forgot it over time

- abigail has known how to play the piano most of her life, and would gravitate towards a piano whenever she saw one

- john plays the fiddle (no evidence for this one, i just like it) (actually i think there’s more evidence against it than for it but i like to think about it)

- abigail can make friends wherever she goes. she would also help other girls out, no questions asked

- john loves nature (this is canon), he probably loved getting to see so much of the natural beauty of the USA, and would’ve loved to appreciate the beauty of mexico under different circumstances

Love Languages (Red Dead Redemption Headcanons)

All Masterlists | RDR Masterlist | Rules For Requests Everything I Post On Tumblr Is Also Posted On Wattpad: @/Ch3apV0dkka

Prompt: Love Languages Some have different love languages for how they show and receive, and some are the same for both.

Dutch Van der Linde Giving & Receiving (the same): Acts of Service, Physical Touch & Quality Time ♱ He’s one to believe that actions speak louder than words. He appreciates verbally expressing love and appreciation, but showing it through physical affection and helping each other out means so much more. ♱ He values loyalty, and he thinks that acts of service are the best way to show that you are committed to someone and willing to be there for them. ♱ He is usually preoccupied with stuff involving the gang and doesn’t always have time to spend with you during the day, but once night rolls around and things start to settle down, he likes to enjoy your company until you both fall asleep.

•••

Arthur Morgan Giving: Quality Time & Physical Touch ♱ The two go hand in hand for him. He likes spending time with you, giving you his full attention while also giving you a lot of physical affection. ♱ He knows all too well not to take people for granted, so he loves spending time with you and won’t pass up the opportunity.

Receiving: Physical Touch ♱ He likes it when you return the affection to him. ♱ Loves it when you run your fingers through his hair.

•••

John Marston Giving & Receiving (the same): Words of Affirmation & Physical Touch ♱ Despite his rough exterior, he does like a lot of reassurance. ♱ He’s also good at giving reassurance to others, so he finds himself doing it a lot for you. ♱ He likes to praise you and tell you sweet things while he holds you and caresses you.

•••

Charles Smith Giving & Receiving (the same): Acts of Service & Physical Touch ♱ He appreciates whenever people do acts of service for him, so he naturally wants to do it for others. ♱ If he can do anything to make your life easier and take some weight off your shoulders, he’ll do it, no questions asked.

•••

Javier Escuella Giving: Gift Giving ♱ He loves to find things such as flowers or stones he thinks you’ll find pretty and give them to you. ♱ Plays his guitar and sings songs that he’s written for you. Also learns to play your favorite songs.

Receiving: Words of Affirmation ♱ He likes it when you sweet-talk him and express your love verbally. Yeah, he likes it when you express your love physically, but words are much more special to him. ♱ Complimenting his music also makes him really happy.

•••

Lenny Summers Giving: Words of Affirmation & Quality Time ♱ Likes to combine the two. ♱ He reads a lot of books, so he easily has a way with words and is very well-articulated, and knows the right things to say to you. ♱ Likes to share his books with you and read them to you. ♱ Whenever he’s spending time with you, he loves to say sweet things to you.

Receiving: Physical Touch. ♱ He loves being cuddled and held by you. ♱ He finds it cute when you get really clingy and affectionate.

•••

Josiah Trelawny Giving: Acts of Service ♱ He believes that you deserve to be treated like royalty, so he’s doing everything for you and not expecting anything in return. ♱ Need help cleaning up? He’s already started. Need him to bring you something? He already has it.

Receiving: Words of Affirmation ♱ He loves it when you tell him how much you love him and appreciate the things he does for you. ♱ Though he doesn’t expect it from you often, he does enjoy being praised and told sweet things.

•••

Hosea Matthews Giving: Quality Time ♱ He’s simple and knows what he wants. He likes spending time with you. After a long day, he likes to settle down with you and enjoy the moment. ♱ He often asks you if you want to accompany him whenever he goes out because it’s an opportunity to be alone with you.

Receiving: Physical Touch & Receiving Gifts ♱ He loves it when you cuddle up next to him without him having to ask. ♱ If you like to make things and make something for him, he will cherish it. If you were to make him a bracelet, he would never take it off. If you draw him something, he’ll make sure to keep it safe and look at it all the time. He doesn’t expect you to do these things for him, but if you do, he finds it sweet.

•••

Kieran Duffy Giving & Receiving (the same): Physical Touch & Words of Affirmation ♱ He is very clingy around you, so I think physical touch is definitely his main. ♱ He’ll take any opportunity to hold you while complimenting you and telling you how much he loves you. ♱ I think he would love to hug and cuddle you/be hugged and cuddled by you, while also saying/being told sweet words.

•••

Sean Macguire Giving & Receiving (the same): Physical Touch ♱ He’s very handsy to begin with, so I think this would be his preferred way to show his affection for you. ♱ He always likes to be around you, cuddling and kissing you, especially when you’re going to bed or any other time you’re alone.

•••

Simon Pearson Giving: Act of Service & Gift Giving ♱ He likes doing nice things for you and helping you.

•••

Bill Williamson Giving & Receiving (the same): Physical Touch ♱ He can come off as very abrasive but will fully let his guard down and be very caring and loving to someone he thinks deserves it. ♱ When he holds you, he holds you very tight and very close to him. ♱ He’s lacked a lot of affection in his life and is a bit touch-starved, but will never admit it or show it.

•••

Micah Bell Giving: Gift Giving ♱ He finds it a lot easier and less work to just give you things that make you happy. He’s never really had a way with words, and he doesn’t like to do much, so words of affirmation and acts of service are out of the question. ♱ His gifts are usually things he’s stolen or found when he’s away from camp, though he will occasionally do something a little more special.

Receiving: Words of Affirmation ♱ He’s not the best at giving words of affirmation, but he likes hearing them from you. ♱ He likes hearing how “great” he is because it gives him a very big ego boost.

If you have any suggestions from any of these fandoms or any other fandoms you've seen me write please send them or comment on this post <3

I want to start picking prompts and writing these next monthish so any help finding male muses in any fandoms I've written is appreciated! I need 31 total so we're gonna need lots!

[ghostsbeetle]

Introduction post

Hey guys, I’m Nick, or you can call me Beetle.

I’m 19 years old, male, and gay.

I’m a mediocre writer (at best) and am trying to write more, as I have recently found my skills to be a bit lacking in terms of things like interactions.

So send me requests (when the ask box is open).

Here are some fandoms I’ll write for:

Resident Evil (mainly)

Red Dead Redemption

Slashers

Dead By Daylight

Fallout

Inside Job

Silent Hill

I have more but that’s all I feel like adding rn lol

Characters I particularly like writing about are:

RE: Albert Wesker, Leon Kennedy, Carlos Oliveira, Rebecca Chambers, Jill Valentine, Nemesis/Tyrant/Mr. X, Chris Redfield, Ethan Winters, Karl Heisenberg, Donna Beneviento, Jack Krauser

RDR: Arthur Morgan, John Marston, Lenny Summers, Sean Macguire, Mary-Beth Gaskill, Josiah Trelawny, Charles Smith, Javier Escuella, Kieran Duffy, Hosea Matthews

Slashers: Michael Myers, Ghostface, Harry Warden, Jason Voorhes, Leatherface, Patrick Bateman

Fallout: John Hancock, Nick Valentine, Craig Boone, Robert Joseph MacCready, Sturges, Arcade Gannon, Paladin Danse, Deacon, Butch Deloria, Courier Six

Inside Job: Brett Hand, Andre Lee, Reagan Ridley, Gigi, Ron Staetdler

Silent Hill: James Sunderland, Pyramid Head

Of course, I’ll write just about any character from those franchises within my limits.

I do request that submissions for one shots/fanfics are particularly detailed; for example,  if you say Leon Kennedy, do tell if you mean re2, re4, re6, Infinite Darkness, or Vendetta, the setting, a specific type (plagas!, umbrella!, soft!), gender neutral, fem, male, and the premise. Head-canon asks don’t need to be AS detailed as I’ll use a general summary of that character’s personality to write for it, but I would appreciate a small description.

I will write anything from fluff, to angst, to smut. I'll also do my best to write characters that I'm not familiar with. I WILL NOT write fetish content, proships, non-consensual stuff, real people, abuse, or beastiality. Basically don’t be a weirdo.

That’s about all. I’m in the process of writing two one shots right now so if you can, do leave a request! It would give me much motivation. Love you all <3

introduction to my page

hello!

for anyone new or visiting my page, my name is keri lu! i am 26, my pronouns are she/her, and i am a lesbian! yay! i've been on this hellsite since 2011, and my very first blog was an owl city blog (the OGs will remember me, rip lonelylullaby13)

i have a lot of fandoms that i am a part of, but the main one you're going to see is red dead redemption 2. yes, i have played the first game. no, i did not think it was a masterpiece.

my blorbos are arthur morgan, dutch van der linde, hosea matthews, and josiah trelawny.

also, this is a john marston slander blog. i think he's a greasy weasel and deadbeat father, and if you are curious as to why, definitely send me a message. i would love to explain it to you.

but, with that being said, i'm currently writing an rdr2 fanfic which is slowly healing my relationship with john marston. so, maybe by the end of the fanfiction i'll appreciate him more. the character development is slowly coming along!!

other fandoms you'll probably see: lord huron taylor swift post malone detroit: become human (connor, my beloved) the last of us (the game and the show) harry styles nancy drew (PC games) owl city

i'm always down for new friends and mutuals, and i would love to chat!! thanks for stopping by!

so long, good luck, goodbye. may you live until you die.

[frillydolle]

hi dollyyyy

i am currently fiening sm for john marston,,,its not okay- and no one ever posts him! ;( (i am working on sum johnny stuff but—) UGH I JUST LOVE U SM AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD WORK ON SUM JOHN FOR US ! could you do sum romantic/domestic headcannons?! that takes place after the gang and they live on a cute little ranch like in the epilogue ? ik you had sum on your other acc but, we all know what happened💔

-L🦢

john marston x female reader hcs

just a big grump of a man idc. but he loves u so so much!!!

he would be such a cutiepie with u!! (totally not copying the way arthur treats ppl)

like huge cutie. even if he wasn't all that good with this kinda thing. he'd do his best!

if he's ever paranoid about u and/or him being caught by the law, he'd wait for u to fall asleep first. as he's looking after u.

100% would do subtle romantic touches if ur out. like he'd slide hid hand onto ur thigh if ur sitting down as u watch something in the theatre.

would make sure u know how much he appreciates u. even if he has an unusual way of showing it.

adding this, he cannot wait to hug u. resting his head on your chest or vice versa. it was always so calming for the both of u. he's a secret fan of cuddling idc.

he's not afraid to stand up for u. or set someone straight if he saw them flirt with u. he's protective like that!! not the type to back down, either.

after a hard day of work, spending time with u allll night is his favourite.

100% stubborn. we all know it. like come onnn. maybe even arrogant, too.

he cannot keep his hands off u. he is on u practically 24/7. he just loves the way u feel against him.

he would so ask charles or sadie for small tips nd advice on how to impress u. yes he can do that himself without a doubt but sometimes he just needs a small push in that direction. like i said, he's stubborn!!

he'd never tell u, but he loves it when u play with his hair. makes him all calm and comforted. a feeling that he would so very deny if u asked him.

Celebrating Halloween With Them (Red Dead Redemption Headcanons)

All Masterlists | RDR Masterlist | Rules For Requests Everything I Post On Tumblr Is Also Posted On Wattpad: @/Ch3apV0dkka

Author's Note: A lot of these are implied to be more modern, I don't usually do the modern AU stuff, but Halloween today is a lot different than it was back then, and I find it more enjoyable and fun to make the headcanons based on stuff I plan to do this year. I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween this year!!!

Prompt: Celebrating Halloween With Them

Dutch Van der Linde ♱ He enjoys the fall atmosphere in general, so he likes to walk around with you once the sun starts to set. ♱ He's not the biggest believer in the supernatural and scary stories, but he finds the stories entertaining, so he likes to read and tell ghost stories with you. Also enjoys watching movies with you. ♱ Prefers to stay inside because most public places are crowded and noisy.

•••

Arthur Morgan ♱ Goes into town and buys you some sweets for you. ♱ Halloween isn't something he really cares about, but he enjoys it if it makes you happy, plus it's an excuse to spend time with you. ♱ Lets you wear his hat if you don't have a costume so you can feel like you're dressing up. ♱ Won't carve a pumpkin because he prefers to just watch you instead, but he will help you carry them if they are too heavy and help with clean up.

•••

John Marston ♱ Thinks carving pumpkins is cool, but doesn't know how to do it, so you end up carving his and yours. (He takes credit for your work.) ♱ Wants to dress up but won't do it unless you dress up with him. ♱ If Jack is in the picture, you both will take him out to go trick-or-treating.

•••

Charles Smith ♱ A bit indifferent towards the holiday, but he enjoys seeing you get excited about it. He prefers to spend the night indoors with you but still might walk around outside a bit just to enjoy the atmosphere. ♱ Makes dinner for the two of you to eat while watching a movie. He always lets you pick the movie. ♱ He doesn't have a massive sweet tooth but still has some sweets with you.

•••

Javier Escuella ♱ He doesn't really care for Halloween, so he mostly just follows you around and lets you make the plans. ♱ He does really enjoy all the sweets so he expects the two of you to eat a lot of candy and snacks. ♱ Tries to learn some songs on his guitar that he can play to fit the Halloween atmosphere.

•••

Lenny Summers ♱ Lenny is still young so he still appreciates Halloween as a way to go out and have fun. ♱ He enjoys things like watching horror movies, and haunted house attractions. Even in the weeks leading up to Halloween. ♱ He doesn't go all out when it comes to dressing up, but he likes putting on accessories.

•••

Josiah Trelawny ♱ Not a fan of scary movies...they scare him. ♱ He does like the whole idea of "tricks" and will take advantage of that. ♱ He still wants to do something nice for you since you enjoy the holiday, so you both dress up nice and go out for a nice dinner. And if you really insist, he'll sit through a horror movie with you as long as you let him pick out a different movie to watch once it's over.

•••

Hosea Matthews ♱ He doesn't care much for the holiday anymore, he's experienced many Halloweens in his lifetime. ♱ He just plans to stay inside with you and spend time with you. He knows you like the holiday, so he'll watch a scary movie with you if you want. ♱ He'll get you sweets that he knows you like, and probably also gets some for himself as well.

•••

Kieran Duffy ♱ His family never celebrated the holiday growing up, so the whole thing is kind of new to him. ♱ He thinks the concept is fun and loves that he gets to experience it with you. ♱ He isn't good at carving pumpkins, but he still does his best to make something nice because he enjoys doing it. ♱ Isn't too big a fan of being scared. He will attempt to watch one movie with you even if it scares him. But he will NOT go to any sort of haunted attraction with you. ♱ He also likes doing things for fall that aren't Halloween-related.

•••

Sean Macguire ♱ He likes any reason to go out and have a good time. He uses Halloween as an excuse to go out to party and get drunk. ♱ Loves sweets, so he eats way more than he should. ♱ He likes to dress up but he barely puts any effort into his costume ♱ Definitely ends up doing a lot of stupid shit.

•••

Micah Bell ♱ Even if he's having fun, he tries to find something to complain about. ♱ He does enjoy the excuse to go out and drink. ♱ Sees Halloween as a way to get away with scaring and messing with you and other people. Probably scares children too. ♱ He does really enjoy horror movies. If you get scared, he will make fun of you.

[arthxrmxrgxn]

i saw this comment under a youtube video and i can’t help but quote it;

“even if arthur is the main protagonist of red dead 2, it is still very much john’s story. how he got his scars, how he went from being pretty distant with his family to getting close to them etc. and what is very beautiful is how much arthur affected him. arthur saved him on the mountains, arthur made sure jack and abigail survived, and arthur did everything he could with his ticking clock that john would survive. without arthur, there wouldn’t be no ranch. no normal life for the marstons. no second chance.”
