#little hosea matthews

[downinthehull]

thank you so much for the little arthur hcs!! they are so cute <3

If you don’t mind me making a second request (if it’s ok!) could I ask for some age regressor hcs for hosea as well? I just love the idea of him and dutch being caregivers to arthur, all is as normal when dutch just ends up finding out “wait a second… I’m seeing a lot of about-to-regress behaviors I’m used to seeing in arthur in hosea”, what can I say, I love the agere trope of the person who is almost always a cg getting little time! I’m sure he’s a real real tiny one when he is little too :)

sorry this took a bit :')

i'm glad you enjoyed them, friend! and of course you can have some little hosea hcs! i honestly haven't ever thought about little hosea (despite also being a big fan of the "character usually perceived as a cg by the fandom, getting to regress" trope)!

hope these are good!<3

little hosea matthews;

has a lot of the same tells as arthur

whether it's hosea quieting down a bit, starting to fiddle around with his sleeves, or his increasing lack of interest in talking about whatever plan/scheme dutch has next, it was all too easy for dutch to recognize the signs once he realized what was going on!

he's practically an expert on picking up when arthur starts to regress, so it wasn't much harder for him to pick up on hosea.

isn't very open about regressing

hosea really only wants dutch to know. he's known him the longest, and he feels the most comfortable with him.

it's been the two of them for the last twenty years, dutch was the obvious choice to look after him. and luckily for hosea, dutch was more than happy to take care of him just like the two of them usually do for arthur.

was it a bit awkward at first? yes! hosea wasn't even sure if he was doing the whole regression thing right! but dutch was there to support him and reassure him that it was all okay, and that there didn't seem to be a right or wrong way to regress.

prefers to stay inside dutch's tent

because he prefers to keep his regression from the gang, he spends most of his time in dutch's tent!

where he spends his time playing dominoes with dutch, listening to music, taking naps, or having his caregiver read him one of his favorite stories.

is usually pretty quiet

because hosea regresses rather young, he usually doesn't do very much talking. usually only saying a few words if he must, mostly making sighs and hums.

on the rare occasion he felt like babbling all of his thoughts to dutch, the caregiver provides his undivided attention and does his best to pretend to understand most of what's being said. using his practice from arthur and simply nodding along.

still loves to fish

even though he usually feels too small to actually throw a line himself, hosea's more than content with watching dutch do it!

he loves going out on the water and keeping dutch company as he fishes for the both of them.

dutch always makes sure to show off every fish to hosea, making remarks on how beautiful or how large the fish were, and asking if he knew what kind of fish they were. and making sure to praise him whenever he would get it right.

I’ve really been getting back into the Dark Pictures anthology recently, so I thought I’d do a bit of a crossover! These were so much fun to draw

I like to imagine hosea and dutchs reunion in the afterlife is like marty and alex’s reunion in madagascar where they run to each other both seemingly excited but then dutch realises hosea looks kinda pissed and hosea just starts chasing him trying to beat the shit out of his stupid husband for what he did to their sons

Animal Symbolism in Rdr2

So everyone know the buck/coyote (depending on honor) that represents Arthur in the after life, right? And then there's the two little birds in Guarma that represent Hosea and Lenny, right? Those are the two main ones I could think of off the top of my head. From my observations, there's always/usually is a boar around Kieran's grave, so could that mean the boar is Kieran's animal representation? And the eagle that flies from the church sign post in Sean's after death scene, could eagles represent Sean? That's what I think anyway. It's a cool thought and how I interpret different animal sightings to dead characters.

sleep well beast. you as well, beast

[river-of-wine]

Can I say something. I think that a lot of the time the discussions about Dutch and Hosea often diminish Hosea’s actual character and importance in the story as his own person with his own personality, motivations and role in the narrative of the game

[synthwavecryptid]

I love drawing stupid shit that makes me laugh and it was only a matter of time before bnuny infiltrated my rdr stuff

Now I gotta draw Dutch in aerodynamic bunny mode and Hosea in ‘has seen the horrors of the universe and heard the whispers of eldritch gods’ hare mode

Yeah I know I forgot to draw Dutch’s second holster and gun shhhh lmao

[abovesn4kes]

Oh Dutch, you sneaky son of a bitch.
