My Arthur: Some Night Thoughts

In between the cancellation of The Acolyte (there's still hope, Clone Wars came back) and the premiere of Rings of Power S2 -- and I PROMISE you that each and every dudebro I blocked in these situations on the former bird app either had crypto in bio or a timeline that was entirely focused on a sports team... I mean, why not think about RDR2? I want to think what it means that so many players speak of MY Arthur, like we all have little pocket Arthurs as pets. "I like my Arthur to be a scary bad guy so I keep him shaved bald." "Well, my Arthur looks his best with Level 7 or 8 hair and a Level 1 or 2 beard." "This time I'm making sure that my Arthur has the best satchel and the Legend of the East outfit." "I always pamper my Arthur before a hard mission. I buy him a ribeye steak at a saloon, get him a bath, and let him sleep just one more night in a hotel. I feed him up to Overweight before Guarma and Chapter 6." "My Arthur is high honor. He would never do XYZ." "Oh yeah? I think my Arthur loves being low honor and beating the crap out of people." "Weird. My Arthur's favorite missions are the dinosaur bones." All of these Arthurs are different and yet the same. All of them are doomed. You have to rewind the timeline and go back to a Chapter 2 save to have a healthy Arthur who can chat and sing with his compadres at the campfire. Nobody's Arthur, until you take him out of the game and into some of the absolutely and utterly beautiful fanart and fanfics, can succeed with Mary Linton, or Charles for that matter. The R* canon Arthur is always doomed. What does it say about us that we can't bear to let go of him, even though his own dialogue tells us he clearly sees the writing on the wall as early as Chapter 1? Is it just the natural human abhorrence of the reality that we too will someday die without accomplishing all that we wanted to? I can relate. Big mood, Arthur. In fragmenting into all of these disparate Arthurs -- Roger Clark has pointed out more people own copies of the game than live in Ireland -- maybe that's how the egregore, the Arthur conjured from the collective consciousness of millions of individual players, stays alive. Many writers of fanfics want their Arthur to be theirs. Not just a rough fuck on daddy's kitchen counter, although I've read that story too, and not just the Not Enough Beds trope, though that too was a fine story. They want to smash Arthur because who doesn't? But they want him to love them, despite R* Arthur having not one single solitary relationship skill. This new Arthur teaches you to draw (the preponderance of Arthur fics I've read involve a "you" reader). Your wish that he address you as he does a mare, "That's mah good girl," comes resplendently true. Sometimes, such are the fix-him powers of You that You and he escape the gang before the name Thomas Downes can be uttered. Arthur's heart beats for You and You alone. Sometimes he protects You from danger. Sometimes he accepts a free sample of sponge cake from You in a bakery. All of these Arthurs go out Arthuring all over the wrong but familiar RDR2 America, often with You at their side. Sometimes You even find him on the cliffside before his rattling last breath, and drag him to safety and a warm, dry climate. One Arthur I read was even saved by a doctor in Mexico with the only available treatment of the period -- collapsing part of the lung -- and recovered fully, having four kids with Sadie Adler and saving most of the RDR world along the way.

You can have your Arthur and play him too. Indeed, a fresh shot of Roger Clark's bravura performance -- combined, as he is the first to point out, with the animators' work, for example giving him the most delicious lower lip -- compounds the infatuation should it threaten to recede.

People suffer profound grief over this game. Of course, it is their own grief from non-digital life: "It is Margaret you mourn for" -- Gerard Manley Hopkins. Perhaps the loss of their Arthur and the way his surviving friends gradually adjust to the loss helps people make room for the holes in their own lives. But that's the thing. That's the comfort at the bottom of the grief pit.

Because once you find your Arthur, including within yourself (I don't just mean cosplay, but I've seen people of all genders don the stained blue workshirt, the suspenders, the neckerchief, the goddamn hat, and wear Arthur on their bodies)... you can't ever really lose him. He changes you. And that may be the strangest and most wonderful thing you can say about a work of fiction.

Keep sharing your Arthurs. The chibis, the young Arthurs cradling poor Isaac or reading to child John Marston, the AUs, the low-honor black coyotes and the high-honor 14-point stags. Marthur, Charthur, Albert Mason x Arthur. All the versions of him. Because they're also You.

Thinking about Remceit (Remy x Deceit/janus)

[moongothic]

On the train of your last ask, what are your thoughts on dragons sexuality?

Personally I think he’s Demi something (more attracted to personality than looks or gender)

Honestly because we don't know that much about the guy it's kind of hard for me to form an opinion, and if Crocodad Real then we're going to find out his orientation eventually (since we gotta find out if that was a contributing factor to the Dragodile Divorce (assuming they're divorced)) so I'm kind of okay with not forming any headcanons, since the headcanon could get thrown out the window

If anything, what interests me is how Dragon's orientation could impact the story-- like when I've discussed the Dragodile Divorce I have mainly focused on speculating how Crocodile would've felt about it, but how Dragon felt about that is interesting too

Because if he's straight then yeah that probably contributed to The Divorce, but how did Dragon feel about it? Learning that the love of his life is now happier than ever before after transitioning and being happy for him, while also losing the version of Crocodile that he fallen in love to begin with? No longer feeling thet draw to him because of the thing that has brought him so much joy and comfort? Knowing that even if they did take down the WG the family Dragon had hoped to have would never come to be, because their relationship would now end? And that it would be on some level his fault, because he's not attracted to Crocodile anymore?

Like even if Dragon took things well and the divorce happened "on good terms", it would've been sad for Dragon too.

But then there's a slightly juicier option, because what if Dragon was bi, but the Divorce happened under unpleasant circumstances (be it Dragon lashing out or things getting violent because he couldn't recognize Crocodile) and he didn't figure it out until it was too late?

Because you'd still have Dragon going through some if not all of those previously mentioned feelings, of having to come to terms with the version of his significant other whom he had fallen in love with no longer existed, the family had pictured in his mind would never become a thing, that those things were be kind of his fault and that he had hurt Crocodile deeply in the process. But then he'd be looking at some news article of Crocodile's most recent heroic stunt, seeing his handsome face with that usual, unbothered expression, and realizing he still loved him? That he still wanted to be with him, wished they were together, even now that Crocodile was a far more handsome man than he was? And then the realization that he's bi hitting him like a fucking truck But it's too late. The divorce already happened. He already hurt Crocodile too deeply. Knowing Croc, he had probably already moved on. There was no fixing it, the relationship was over. At least for now, trying to go see Croc could be dangerous due to the WG and not wanting to risk the WG finding out about them and The Kid and Croc would probably be furious if Dragon even risked that at this point, after what he had done. Oh, and then Crocodile killed thousands of innocent people attempting to usurp a country by manufacturing a civil war. Something Dragon can't forgive. (Not to mention, hearing he had been taken down by their own son... Oof)

But what if despite all that, and not knowing the full circumstances behind what had happened (like the fact that Crocodile didn't know who the hell Luffy was), Dragon still loved Crocodile? What then?

Deadfang walked so that poolverine can run 🫡 (ik poolverine came first before comments say anything. )

The vamp mig and were Logan art perfectly captures the difference dynamics. Love ur art!

You dear anon, you get it! And also I love you :D

I mean I made this joke because on surface level it fits but then I started thinking and I guess I got myself into another crack ship? Or is that just growth xD

Anyway right now I have a nice doodle with the three of them coming up. I just need to finish editing the photo. I really like how Logan looks there.

Also I have a 4 page comic coming up but it will take more time because it requires backgrounds 😨 Because I got into thinking that both Logan and Miguel are kinda similar in being grumpy assholes that are very tsundere about the fact that deep down they have muschy heart of gold :D so I felt Wade would want them to bond over that so it's about dates in their natural habitats. It's obviously a disaster but also kinda works xD

🍌, 🍍, and 🥭 :3

AHHH! Thank you for the ask! :D :D

🍌 In your opinion, what’s the funniest joke/reference/pun you’ve made in a fic? 

I used "reference" for the last banana, so you get a silly pun from Milk Run. Jocasta Nu giving Dooku a hard time for getting himself and Qui-Gon arrested in a nature persevere.

-

He could tell by her voice that she was looking something up. “I could get there in under two hours, if I take one of the Archive ships.”

Dooku did not want to continue to have the Milk Run Argument with her, especially now, but he mentally scored himself a point. How could he have been acting too superior about the relative importance of their respective jobs, when her station allowed her ready access to such things, and his did not? He and his Padawan had arrived at this planet ingloriously packed on a slow-moving tourist shuttle.

“You could simply… transfer the credits to me? This is merely an administrative miscalculation. I have things well in hand here. ”

“Speaking of your hands, let me see them.”

“What?”

“Your hands.”

“Hands?”

“Dooku.”

Dooku sighed. He raised them, resigned, to show her the binders. “It is fine. Standard procedure, according to my arresting officer, as I was using weapons at the time of my detainment.”

He watched Jocasta’s lips silently form the word ‘weapons.’ “I will be there in a little less than two hours. In the meantime, do not do anything stupid. In fact, please, do nothing. Do not take any action whatsoever. Sit tight.”

Sit tight? Oh, she was funny. Dooku exhaled.

🥭 Rank from most enjoyable/fun to write to least: Fluff, Smut, Angst, Crack.

Oh this is hard! Okay. From most enjoyable to least: Angst, Smut, Fluff, and sadly, Crack being least.

I don't really write proper Crack, but I started a fic that's Humor/Crack-adjacent last week and it is giving me so much anxiety.

🍍 What kind of AUs do you like? Are there any AUs you hate or just generally have beef with? 

Such a fun question! :D I answered it here.

[itsamenickname]

Yo, where are all the Bowsario shippers on here because I genuinely want to know if you (or anyone else) would be open to shipping Luigi with Donkey Kong?

[awnrii]

feel free to post I’m not saying do not ever post about sex ever go ahead but don’t tag it under my posts specifically please!!

[cogentranting]

Caitlin's ending is what I like to call "open to interpretation!"

and she's NOT in the future storyline's team Flash so I take that as a sign that she went to go live in Star City to be with Cisco and had a thriving career and full and fulfilled personal life and became close friends with Dinah and Felicity and Emiko and Thea and Laurel.

[cookinguptales]

you call Aqua a queen because you want to put her on a pedestal instead of letting her do anything interesting in fic

I call Aqua a queen because I'm fucking gay
