#strauss rdr

I will never hate anyone more than people who boils complex characters down to a single trait/mischaraterizes them and refuses to learn more about them or have a discussion. "Abigail is such a hater" "Hosea is a perfect grandpa who would never do anything wrong" "Kieran is a baby" "Swanson is an annoying drunk" "Grimshaw is so annoying" "Arthur is just a sad dummy" "John is just a silly man" "Charles is a baby girl" "Javier is just a hot traior" "Dutch is a dilf villian" "Strauss is the worst of the camp."

I would not talk to you even if we were the two last people on this planet and trapped in jail cell together.

Red Dead Redemption 2

› Characters collection [3/?]

[flo-zoinks]

Sometimes I like to imagine which each gang member would dress as for Halloween so here is my favourite ideas!!

Abigail - zombie (rdr1 ref)

Jack - knight but would insist hes Sir Lance a lot (nobody knows what that is)

Dutch - lion

Hosea -  skeleton (would dress up for a week leading up as a different costume every day and go full method acting)

Javier - vampire

Uncle - Frankenstein

Bill - Lawman (would pretend to arrest kieran)

Lenny - pirate

Sean - pirate (duo costume to steal sweets from arthur and dutch)

Molly - princess 

Reverend - (Prolly not dress up unless as a demon to preach about the demonising of Halloween)

Miss grimshaw - witch

Sadie - Masked serial killer (would creep up on pearson and scare him)

Charles - pumpkin

Tilly - Tabby cat

Karen - Black cat

Mary-Beth - White cat (trio costume!!)

Kieran - corpse groom (he wanted to ask Mary-Beth to be the corpse bride but got too nervy)

Strauss - pharaoh (gold)

Trelawny - fairy

Arthur - Chelonia member

Pearson - Tiger (would call it his inner animal)

Micah - rat

Should I give more halloween ideas I have so many

yet another bit of RDR2 photos, mild chapter 4/5 spoilers

javier’s best decision was to wear this outfit

(my pics)

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

NOTE: Keeping with the genre, I excluded Arthur and John since the protagonists are always going to be human (or, if they are an alien, a very human-like alien race that makes you wonder why the creator even bothered to make them an alien).

Jack is excluded as well since he’d be half-human at minimum.

Camp is my favourite place of them all, especially in chapter two and three but every now and then I can't stand being there because all I can think about is their future, how they will hate each other, how they will lash out, how they will be split, how they will die.

I will look at Javier playing his guitar around the campfire with a smile on his face, and think about how in the end he will have his life taken by the man he considered his best friend even after they both desperately tried to avoid it.

I will look at John sitting on the ground behind his tent, carving some figure out of wood, and think about how he did all he was told to protect his family, yet in the end, he was still shot like a dirty dog in the backyard.

I will look at Molly sitting in her and her lovers tent, quietly reading to herself, and think about how she will be shot dead merely because she loved.

I will look at Hosea reading the newspapers every morning without fail and think about how he had to watch as the man he considered his partner slowly fall apart and in the end get him killed.

I will look at Lenny eating his soup next to the man who called him his son, and think about how they will die not even an hour apart and be buried right where they wanted to be, next to a friend.

I will look at Dutch standing and talking about greatness and all the promises he has made, and think about all the people he has hurt and has yet to hurt, how he doomed them all.

I will look at Sean singing by the campfire about the land he loves so much, and think about how other than Arthur he was the only one to notice that the job was wrong yet he was the one who payed for it with a shot to the head.

I will look at Kieran standing by himself as he brushes the horses, and think about how he was worried about straying too far away because the O'Driscolls might find him and how that was exactly what happened because he didn't feel safe in camp either.

I will look at Bill listening to the stories told by his friends and think about how all he ever wanted was Dutch's approval and how he didn't even get it in the end.

I will look at Abigail caring for her son, worrying if she will have enough money to clothe him, and think about how she will have to wander the farm her husband built just for her without him by her side for three years before dying of the same as her brother in law who had saved her family.

I will look at Karen who at 10am has already found the bottom of the bottle, and think about how she will never escape that addiction that in the end will kill her.

I will look at Strauss making sure that the money is right, and think about how even when he was thrown out by Arthur, he never told on them, he never said anything, he was an old man of 60 something years who got beaten to death protecting the people who had thrown him on the street.

I will look at Uncle sleeping against a tree, and think about how in the end he died surrounded by those he loved, protecting them with his life.

I will look at Susan sitting all alone, sewing a hole in some ungrateful man's clothing, and think about how she got shot and bled out in front of her old lover who didn't even bat her and eye, all because she cared for the family she used to replace the one she could never biologically have.

Even though they are still alive, I mourn them.

I was surprised to see a lot of people replying to my post thinking Abigail didn't sleep w any members of the gang besides John. While I respect everyone's opinion, I think she did sleep with Dutch, Bill, and men outside of camp (she was literally a prostitute when she joined the gang). This doesn't take away from her value. It doesn't excuse John's mistreatment of her and Jack. She canonically slept with some of the gang. I'd say definitely not Hosea, Uncle, and Javier (as he joined in 1895). I don't mind people having their own thoughts on the matter, but sometimes it feels like people only say that to try and defend her. She doesn't need to have not slept w the other men to be defendable!! I personally think she is one of the easiest rdr2 characters to defend and sympathize with. Her previous profession and sexual history does not devalue her. It also doesn't justify the misogyny directed at her. 

I delve further into Abigail's backstory (a combination of canon and my assumptions) in my long fic on ao3 that fleshes out my thoughts on this better.

Micah: [holding Strauss's glasses over a cliff] One more word, and they’re gone!

Strauss: I can not see what you’re doing...
