         He could sense it. Some poor, empty-headed simpletons in desperate need of some medical wonders from the far east. And who better to satisfy that need than one Nigel West Dickens, purveyor of miracle elixirs and scientific wonder? He's come to Valentine to sell his wares, and putting on a real show of it this time, trying to get the Sheriff to prove his tonics are truly effective with a show of marksmanship.

Last night they were acting Moliere in Fourteenth Street; Dickens was being played through the auspices of Nigel Playfair. Further uptown, George M. Cohan was unveiling the latest George M. Cohan musical comedy. But Broadway, being eternally curious, turned out in greatest numbers at the Biltmore Theater in Forty-Seventh Street, where the result of Mae West's latest encounter with the drama was being performed. This was the exhibit—play is not precisely the word—with a vaudeville background, whose preliminary trip through the Bronx and Queens had been followed by rumors that here was something that might arouse the police to action.
So began the review by an unnamed theater critic for the Times on October 2, 1928. It appeared, not in the arts section, but following a front-page story about the police ... taking action.
The play was Pleasure Man, a reworking by Mae West of her earlier play The Drag. It dealt not with vaudeville, as the critic said, but burlesque, and finished with a lavish drag ball.
Cops were stationed at all theater exits and just as the play was ending, reserves surrounded the front. When the cast tried to leave, they were arrested—56 in all, including West, who also acted in the show.
Of course this attracted audience members (some in evening dress, the Times noted) from other theaters nearby. The presence of cabs and other cars waiting to pick up theater-goers and actors added to the chaos.
Tumblr media
Flashlights exploded as news photographers tried to capture the actors being led into paddy wagons. The police had to make five trips to get everyone to the station house on 47th St., where they were charged with indecency.
By 2:30 in the morning, Actors Equity posted bail. West's was $500, which may have been more than the others because she was doubly guilty, having written the play as well as acted in it. The producer, director, and theater staff were not arrested.
For some reason, the cops let the next day's matinee start, but raided it halfway through and arrested everyone once more. They had their own theatrical flair.
The trial wasn't held until April of 1930, and resulted in a hung jury. By that time West was a star, having triumphed in another play of her own called Diamond Lil. The next year she went to Hollywood.

Have you seen the rumours that they are remaking/remastering Rdr? I don’t really know if they are fully remaking it or just remastering it because every source says different. How do you feel about it? Do you think these rumours might be true? Personally i would loveee if they remade it but i highly doubt it.. Maybe remaster yes, but a remake is highly doubtful in my opinion. If these rumours are even true ofcourse..
That's a great question and I wrote about it here! TW: R ape mention
I agree with you, btw. I don't trust Rockstar to do it right. Look at the horrible mess that was the GTA remake. I'm also nervous for the following reasons: 1. People are going to complain that Arthur isn't in it and get aggressive towards developers. (This one is NOT dumb.) The developers may throw a cameo line in there if it's updated, but that's it. This is not directed at you - but people need to realize that Arthur was NOT created yet! 2. A lot of the content did not age well. There may need to be a disclaimer or removal of content. Some of it is racial base, some of it is gender-based. 3. I'm worried that people are going to defend Dutch and Bill, who are literal monsters and are even serial r*pists. 4. The hatred towards Abigail will grow to brand new heights. As a mega Abigail fan, this sucks, but what sucks more is the anti-sex work and misogynistic language that will come with it. Just like the "We all had her line" ---that's Dutch literally lying. It's legit not possible, but people throw it up. (out of context, too, since most haven't even played the game!) So seeing that awfulness is going to suck as someone who is a fan and is literally as a job trying to uplift the story of sex workers in the old West. Positives would be people finally respecting John since he's kind of the laughingstock of the fandom. (People forget that without John, we wouldn't have an Arthur.) John showing how much he loves his family, especially how he tries to repair his relationship with Jack. We see the beautiful graphics, the scenery and the haunting soundtrack. People get to meet Bonnie MacFarlane! I love Nigel West Dickens and would be excited to see him. Leigh Johnson, the Sheriff, is great, too, and of course, there is Landon Ricketts which is really just Sam Elliot.

WIP Whenever (Remainder of 2024)
Here it is, my lovelies - the master (monster) list of every WIP from now through the end of the year. I'm listing them all in order, but am not including dates, because I SUCK at sticking to a schedule and it will only frustrate all of us.
I'm SO SORRY for how long it's taken me to finish both of these series, but I hope you all enjoy, and I look forward to a whumpy, Christmassy, Red Dead-filled remainder of 2024.
Happy holidays of all kinds, y'all!
01. Whumpcember Day 14: “Like A Drowned Rat" - Chapter 2, "An American Pastoral Scene." What should have been an easy job takes a sudden turn, leaving Arthur's life quite literally resting in the hands of the last person he would ever have wanted it to. Prompt: “Drowning”
02. 25DCC, Ch. 14: "Getting Snowed In” - 1896. Jake and Sadie Adler find ways to pass the time during their first blizzard together.
03. Whumpcember Day 15: "Cloghinne Winds" - 1907, post-Epilogue. Dutch is haunted by a ghost from his past he wishes he could forget. Prompt: "Hallucinating" (idea inspired by @tiredcowboyy)
04. Whumpcember Day 16: “Ringing A Bell” - Pre-canon/pre-John. Hosea takes a blow to the head during a robbery gone wrong; Dutch and Arthur are left to deal with the aftermath. Prompt: "Head Injury"
05. 25DCC, Ch. 15: “Icicles” + “Someone Spiked the Eggnog!” - 1910. A day of fun and frolicking in the snow in the MacGuire-Jones-O'Shea household, followed by a night of mischief and merriment (and eggnog.)
06. Whumpcember Day 17: “Where There’s Smoke” - Chapter 3, "Blood Feuds, Ancient and Modern." The raid on Braithwaite Manor goes just a little bit differently this time around, for both better and worse. Prompt: “Fire”
07. 25DCC, Ch. 16: “Family invited an old crush/first love to a dinner party.” - 1885. Dutch, Hosea, Susan, and the boys plan an early Christmas dinner, and a surprise guest arrives just in time to share in the merriment.
08. Whumpcember Day 18: “New Roles, Old Pains” - post-1907/pre-1911. While settling into his new life as a rancher, some old wounds remind John that while he may have escaped Dutch's gang with his life, he didn't escape unscathed. Prompt: "Chronic Pain"
09. Whumpcember Day 19: “Down To the Wick" - Chapter 3, post-BATPM. Unable to simply stand by and watch while Arthur withers away from infection, Sean decides he's going to help by shouldering Arthur's share of the work himself. It goes about as well as anyone would expect. Prompt: "Exhaustion"
10. 25DCC, Ch. 17: “Cuddling With Them” - 1910. After nursing Arthur through a nasty flu, Charles unsurprisingly comes down with it himself. He only ever wants one thing when he's not feeling well, and Arthur is only too happy to oblige.
11. Whumpcember Day 20:  "Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble" - While out on a hunting trip with Charles in the Grizzlies, Arthur samples a mysterious potion he found brewing in an abandoned shack - which, in hindsight, probably wasn't the smartest thing he's ever done. Prompt: "Drugged"
12. 25DCC, Ch. 18: “Big Hugs from Family” - 1903. Bill tries to hunt enough game for a big feast in honor of his first Christmas season with his two new partners. When he manages to get himself into trouble in the process, their reaction is not one he was expecting.
13. Whumpcember Day 21: "The Air That You Breathe" Chapter 4. Arthur hasn't forgotten the way Charles saved him from being nearly garrotted a few weeks back, and he knows that he'd return the favor in a heartbeat, if the tables were turned. But he had still hoped, for Charles's sake, that they never would be. Prompt: "Choking"
14. Whumpcember Day 22: "The Dose Makes the Poison" - RDR1, "You Shall Not Give False Testimony, Except for Profit." John's role as "random test subject" in Nigel West Dickens's latest money-making scheme is going perfectly to plan… until it isn't. Prompt: "Seizures"
15. 25DCC, Ch. 19: "First Christmas As A Couple/Family/Friend Group" - 1902. The Morgan-Smiths visit Tilly in Saint Denis. Arthur struggles between just being happy his little sister is happy, and wanting to put the fear of God into her new husband (just a little). Charles just hopes he doesn't have to try and break Arthur out of the Saint Denis jail again before the day is out, because he's pretty sure the officers still remember his face from last time. (for @photo1030)
16. Whumpcember Day 23: Post-RDR2, Arthur Lives! AU. It's been years since the dissolution of Dutch's gang, longer still since Arthur's "vacation" with the O'Driscolls, but no matter how much time passes, some scars never fully fade. Charles finds this out the hard way. Prompt: "Nosebleed"
17. 25DCC, Ch. 20: "Happy Tears" - 1901. When Charles loses his mother's necklace during their travels, he's absolutely distraught; besides the photo taken when he was just a baby, it was the only possession of hers he still owned. Unable to stand seeing him so sad, Arthur uses every tracking skill Charles ever taught him to find it - and brings back a little something extra for good measure.
18. Whumpcember Day 24: "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" Pre-canon. The first time John gets shot is also the first time he and Arthur work a job without Dutch or Hosea, leaving it up to Arthur to get them both home and keep his brother in (mostly) one piece. Prompt: "Bullet"
19. 25DCC, Ch. 21: "Kissing Under the Mistletoe" + "Confessing A Crush When It's Snowing" - 1910. Lenny and Javier help their son prepare for a special date, before going on one of their own.
20. Whumpcember Day 25: "In This Borrowed Likeness of Shrunk Death" - pre-canon, 1877. Hosea, ever one for a bit of method acting, concocts a genius plan to make off with an entire horde of treasure from the mausoleum of a well-to-do family. The only downside is the trauma he inflicts on Dutch in the process. Oops. Prompt: "Coma"
21. 25DCC, Ch. 22: "Buying Last-Minute Gifts" - 1910. Abigail and John make a trip to Blackwater for some groceries, and bump into an old friend.
22. Whumpcember Day 26: The Bell boys know better than to provoke their father when he's in one of his moods - that were one of the first things they learned, after Mama died and Daddy came to take them away with him. So why Amos picked tonight, when Junior is in one of the foulest tempers either of 'em have seen in months, to sass the man is beyond him. Don't matter why, though; Micah's the oldest, and it's him, not Amos, who's gonna have to answer for it. Alt Prompt: "Abused"
23. Whumpcember Day 27: Chapter 4, "Country Pursuits." "'Hurry up, Arthur! Just - just don't look behind you!' Arthur's feet dug deep into the slimy muck, slipping and sliding. He wasn't sure how he kept his feet, and had he not been completely lost in his own panic, he might even have been impressed. As it was, all he could do was focus straight ahead - on the boat, on Dutch, on safety. Just a few more seconds, just a few more feet, keep running, keep running, don't look back -!" Prompt: "Bleeding Out"
24. 25DCC Ch. 23: "I'll Be Home for Christmas, No Matter What." 1910. In spite of the awful weather, Dutch and Hosea make the journey to Beecher's Hope.
25. Whumpcember Day 28: Epilogue II, post "American Venom." John visits an old friend, and a ghost from his past is finally put to rest. Prompt: "Sacrifice"
26. 25DCC Ch. 24: "Sneaking a Gift" - 1910. It's midnight on Christmas Eve, and while everyone else sleeps off their holiday dinner, Abigail decides to give John his present early.
27. Whumpcember Day 29: 1907, post-Epilogue II. That shortcut through Tall Trees was supposed to save time on the trip back from Owanjila, or so Uncle had said. True to John's luck, though, all it did was nearly get him killed. If he never sees another one of those Skinner bastards again, it'll be too soon. Prompt: "Paralyzed"
28. 25DCC Ch. 25: "Christmas Morning" + "Trying To Get A Family Photo" - 1910. The Marstons, Morgan-Smiths, and Van der Linde-Matthews (and Uncle) open their gifts and take a family portrait to celebrate the season.
29. Whumpcember Day 30: Chapter 4/5, post "Banking, The Old American Art" - In the midst of the chaos surrounding the failed bank heist, Mary-Beth falls dangerously ill. With the other men doing their best to move camp and the women watching over a wounded Lenny and Hosea, Kieran - only just recovered from his own injuries at the hands of the O'Driscolls - takes it upon himself to care for her until she recovers. Prompt: "Delirium"
30. Whumpcember Day 31: pre-canon, 1870. Dutch Van der Linde is only fifteen when he leaves home, ready to live free and pursue his dreams, as is his God-given right. But, as he learns the hard way, life on the fringes of society is not nearly as idyllic as he imagined it. Prompt: "Homeless"

Micah Bell Killed
FAMED GUNSLINGER. BETRAYAL ENDS HIS MURDERS. WANTED FOR BLACKWATER ROBBERY.
He was believed to be hiding in The Grizzlies for many years, emerging to sow mayhem and murder to fuel a life on the run. Micah Bell, one of the most notorious outlaws of the region and a former member of the infamous Dutch van der Linde's gang, was slain at his hideout. The train robber and desperado evaded authorities for years, during which time he killed two dozen men. He had sworn an oath to compatriots that he would never be taken alive.
Yet despite a concentrated effort by Rangers, Pinkertons and local law enforcement to bring Bell to heel, it appears as if he was completely taken by surprise by former gang members who have long accused him of treachery and theft of the ill-gotten gains from the Blackwater Robbery in 1899. Bell was without a doubt the most desperate outlaw at large in the area, striking terror into the hearts of carriage and stagecoach riders who have long feared his murderous reputation.
Several sheriffs had been elected in the country and each had vowed to bring Bell to justice. One, Sheriff Braxton Hefner, finally landed Bell in jail, where he was tried and sentenced to be hanged. Two days before paying the price for his crimes he broke jail and had been at large.

President Signs 1907 Immigration Act
RESTRICTS "IDIOTS, FEEBLEMINDED".
President Waxman signed an immigration act in order to prevent unsavory persons from entering the United States.
The new law, which went into effect immediately, excludes "All idiots, imbeciles, feebleminded persons, epileptics, insane persons, and persons who have been insane within five years previous; persons who have had two or more attacks of insanity at any time previously; paupers; persons likely to become a public charge; professional beggars; persons afflicted with tuberculosis or with a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease; persons not comprehended within any of the foregoing excluded classes who are found to be and are certified by the examining surgeon as being mentally or physically defective, such mental or physical defect being of a nature which may affect the ability of such alien to earn a living; persons who have been convicted of or admit having committed a felony or other crime or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; polygamists, or persons who admit their belief in the practice of polygamy, anarchists," from entering the United States.

Man Exposes Medical Frauds
AS CHARLATANS PEDDLE MARVELOUS CLAIMS. HIPPOCRATIC FAKERS PLAGUING SMALL CITIES.
It was hoped that with the spread of scientific knowledge, the scourge of medical quacks selling health and salvation from suffering would abate eventually. However, in towns and hamlets across the nation, the evolution of reputable physicians into swindles continues at rapid speed as each new break in scientific progress is announced.
A so-called doctor needs little more than a shingle to hang above his door and various potions and concoctions to peddle the ill, maimed and infirm, who are willing to part with their hard-earned money in hopes of prolonged health. Such is the crusade led by one man who has vowed to uncover the Hippocratic frauds who are preying on victims across the country. His name is Nigel West Dickens, a studied man of letters, botany, ornithology and the history of home medicine practiced throughout the ages.
He has begun demonstrations showing that sufferers of rheumatism, neuralgia, rickets, dysentery and scarlet fever can be cured of their maladies by use of a simple medicinal tonic. The response has been enthusiastic, and in more than one town the local doctor taken to task for peddling fraud cures. Mr. Dickens plans in the coming years to take his message on the road and root out charlatans and purveyors of false science.

Valentine Hotel Quarantine
MAN FEARED CONTAGIOUS. DISEASE OF THE BOWELS.
More death and discomfort comes as a result of disease of the bowels, from constipation, to diarrhea to dysentery than from almost any other cause. It can reflect a disorder of the liver, kidney derangements, a dyspeptic condition of the stomach, piles, or bad blood. No person knows the discomfort and agony of bowel disease more than Harville Presley, a resident at the Valentine Hotel for more than nine years.
Visited by numerous physicians and specialists, Mr. Presley scarcely leaves his residence at the hotel, one that he made permanent years ago once the onset of the disease began. The son of a wealthy mining family, Mr. Presley took refuge at the Valentine Hotel, feeling pain after eating at a church potluck supper.
The daily plague of sharp, spasmodic gripes of the bowels soon resulted in Mr. Presley living very much like a hermit, summoning doctors and literature and trying to diagnose the cause of his maladies. For reasons of safety, his room is under quarantine and other guests are placed in lodging in other areas of the hotel, so as not to be subjected to the auditory distress of his complaints.

A Gentleman's Sport
GOLFING SOARS IN POPULARITY. GENERATES A TIDY PROFIT.
Even before Columbus sailed for America, golf was soaring in popularity in the United Kingdom, so much so that archery and other sports that could defend the realm were falling out of favor. Concerned over national security, in 1491 Scotland decreed the sport unlawful for a period of time. In the United States, the lovely pastime could not be more popular, especially in California, a state devoted to entertainment and leisure.
Indeed this publication received a sunny dispatch from the 31st state that New Hanover's very own Edith Downes has developed and opened a brand new golf course to much acclaim and fanfare. She and her son Archie have, of late, ventured into several businesses out west, which is a very distant lifestyle from her past as a rancher's wife.

Cocaine Use to Require Prescription
The Governor of California has amended the Pharmacy and Poison Act making it a crime to sell opiates of cocaine without a prescription. The new ruling was protested by several vocal advocates and users of cocaine.

World's Fastest Steam Powered Car
SPEED RECORD BROKEN.
Steam powered automobiles are all the rage these days. Shovel in some coal, light the pilot, fill up the boiler with water, and in 20-30 minutes you are able to motor on out to your destination.
Mechanic Hershel E. Bennett has broken the land speed record in his amazing marvel of modern engineering, the Stratton Steamer. Modified from the consumer model from the Stratton Motor Carriage Company, he took it to a beach in Florida where a crowd cheered as he reach 127.66 mph, the fastest any human has traveled.

The Art of Angling by Jeremy Gill  
STEELHEAD TROUT.
No fish ignites the flame of angling in any true fisherman like the trout. A man must study the water and insects like a hawk, for trout are moody and will just as soon sit and watch an ill-picked fly float overhead. Once, while fishing with a senator, I stood with a sulky trout in my hands and informed it I intended to rip his brother and entire family from the water and watch them gasp for a breath.
The senator laughed and said he intended to use the same sentiment towards immigrants. What a leader he is. One day, I hope he runs for president. Fish for steelhead trout in lakes in the south. Try crickets.
Best of luck!

Nigel West Dickens - Red Dead Redemption
youtube
Episode 21
Ah, Nigel West Dickens, the fast-talking, snake oil-selling con artist of Red Dead Redemption. With a silver tongue that could charm the pants off a rattlesnake, this guy could sell ice to an Eskimo in the dead of winter. His promises of miracle tonics and elixirs may be as empty as his pockets, but you gotta hand it to him, the man knows how to put on a show. Just don't let him near your wallet or you'll be left with nothing but a handful of empty bottles and a lingering feeling of regret.
