The theory that Hosea was always the leader of the gang *but 'van der Linde gang" sounds more badass than "Matthews Gang" is an interesting one. Imagine Dutch being Hosea's trophy wife.

A concept drawing I did for one of my OCs, Clara Madison, using her array of cybernetic hands that she refers to as "Round of Applause"

Enjoy this little sketchy piece of young Vandermatthews, I actually really like it.
Dutch talks utter crap, but Hosea still listens fondly.

more volta do mar thoughts,,, as i develop a kim pov au fic with skills
so got some feedback on my thoughts of what the in-game Volta do Mar method was, and so this post is mainly about what I think the Volta do Mar *skill* is.
We can see Kim's skills through the ZA/UM merch of his jackets, and interestingly enough his VdM stat is boosted through both aerostatic jackets, the orange (pilot) and the black (crew).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"It’s a sentimentality, but Kim feels centred when wearing this jacket. He leaves it on when he sits down for Volta."
The pilot jacket desc. establishes that Kim does perform Volta do Mars, and cements the fact that he's wearing revolutionary cosplay. He gets a +1 bonus from the orange jacket, the description of which seems to imply feelings of freedom. I don't think it's exactly the *opposite* of being grounded, but more like Kim is meditating and temporarily forgetting about his problems and turmoil, which we can expect from the ritual as something to rid the mind of chaotic pale-radiation.
Now, what I find more interesting is not only the VdM boost on the crew jacket, but the fact that it's +2, more than the pilot jacket. It's also a revolutionary cosplay, but the description makes a point of saying "Originally worn by mechanics and engineers during the Revolution, most of whom went down with the aerostatics they served on."(something to think about) It also "reminds Kim of Seol, though he’s never been there. For special occasions only." (also interestingly this jacket has the thought cabinet print on the inside)
The combination of the VdM and the mention of Seol is interesting to me, because Kim is not, well. He hasn't accepted his status of being half-Seolite, and because of the racist society he grew up in, is what I call internally racist (though probably also just racist). He takes pride in not being connected to Seolite culture.
(Disclaimer that I'm not saying that mixed individuals are obligated to interact with their race's culture - I'm half Asian and part Mexican but don't really interact with Mexican culture - just that Kim specifically makes a point about it. Kim may not be connected to Seolite culture but he still faces the racism for it.)
So to combine VdM, a concept that seems to be about freedom and calm, with Kim's racial identity seems like an oxymoron to me. I think this conflict *is* what the description is referring to, "Distant enemy of himself." The in-game use of the crew jacket honestly doesn't seem to have any connection to this description (if you didn't get it, kim wears it if you complete a hardcore run and start another game in hardcore, but there's no difference in the text.) The extra boost may be building on the pilot jacket's one, so that for some reason Kim gets a second VdM boost for being reminded of Seol, despite the internal conflict.
I don't have a solid idea for what Kim's Volta do Mar skill could be used for. One option is that the skill is about being connected to oneself, because he's fascinated by the revolution and aerostatics (+1) and then his heritage (another +1?), because if he doesn't usually like the fact that he's half-Seolite, he would only wear it when he wants to be reminded of it. And then another fact that takes some thinking is that it's a physique skill and not a psyche skill (as long as you believe that he and harry have the same skill categories) I think some interpretations have been VdM being used as the voice of restraint (sometimes to a detriment) or direction, or sometimes emulating the Volta do Mar poetic ritual with the same intent. I've been working on my Kim skills for months, and they've changed a lot overtime, and I still expect at least VdM to change course.

i need to write vdm
#phase weeps#i need to write them beating the shit out of eachother and then fucking#young vdm were absolutely insane and i stand by that#yes they have their tender moments but i feel. atleast in how i perceive them that they never ever had they true acceptance of feelings#they were never lovers or husbands but they were partners and i think that they were in love in the way that people like them could be in#love. but i think theres a lot more potential to tem then the cut and clean “they are husbands” narrative#i want vdm to be as ugly and rife as every other relationship in game#and i especially want to put emphasis on their inability to let go of the past and living in this “free and wild” world#and i think this dream of dutchs deeply affects how he views relationships#as just another gust of wind. just another sunset#just another desert flower#his romaticazition of being on the run. painting the blood on his hands as holy#the rough and tumblr hospitality of the american dream#is so deeply packed into who he is as a person that he cannot see beyond his own viewpoint#and dutch is a self centered man#his viewpoint is his world. because dutch is the sun. and everything revolves around him. and everything that gets drawn in burns up#eventually#and i think hoseas trick is that you never get that close#there is a longing to vandermatthews that speaks of a chasm between them. on the cusp of deep understanding yet skirting around it#they are life partners#and they hold each others hands through the darkest parts of their self made hell#but their is nothing romantic or holy about it#they are a visage of the american man and twisted american kindness. and they are people soldered parts of themselves together but the deep#parts are left to be seen and not touched. i just. theirs so much potential for tragedy in vandermatthews i dont think we're touching

i often think abt young vdm, especially wondering abt hosea and his life before dutch. what was it? was he kind of a lonesome wolf, who stole everything from everyone, to whom robberies and necessary killing was nothing, but addiction, way to filled emptiness inside, only way to living he knew. and then he met the man who was overfilled with all the thing hosea didn't find that long. man with pure love to this damn world and sincere desire to make it better. someone who was hopelessly romantic and strangely naive in his way of love.
in their world, in hosea's world built of violence, lies and survival, the dutch was indeed special. special for him.

I literally can't NOT view Hosea and Dutch's belongings as something they had given to each other because they saw it and were like "this reminded me of you" or "I saw it and knew you'd certainly love it". The smallest of items and they literally cannot help themselves.
Hosea's green / red scarf he has? Dutch gave it to him, said he thought he'd like it and he was 100% correct. This goes along with his red handkerchief he ties around his neck. Each were given in his mid 30s.
That hat Dutch has? Yeah. Hosea had conveniently bought it( he stole it for Dutch—) because he knew that was Dutch's style. He had given it to him in his late 20s.
This goes for mundane stuff too btw, could literally be a blanket or rug, maybe a jacket, or a item of jewelry they had " found".
And Hosea gifting him rings bcs he knew how much he loved having them, when they were younger..... Lives rent free in my head... he was courting him ... ..

Was going to do autumn/Halloween pfp comms this month and made two examples, before realizing I didn't have the time for it with uni work. Instead, enjoy my two favorite ocs David Whel and Charles Cutler dresses up as Frankenstein's monster and a vampire respectively. They are my babies <3
------
[ID: Two drawn profile pictures of original characters.
The first one is of a boy named David Whel, a white trans, nonbinary boy with blond hair. He's wearing a green trenchcoat over a white button down and nails screwed to the sides of his head. He's holding up two peace signs with his hands and has a generally silly expression on, with his tongue picking out. His face is painted in different colors with stitches separating the sections. Behind him is a patchwork pattern similar to his face.
The second drawing is of a Chinese girl named Charles Cutler. She has long silky hair tied high with a red bow, a sharp set of teeth dripping with blood, and red tinted glasses. She's wearing a black cloak with the collar pulled up, and is looks forward menacingly. Behind her are sparkles and stars.
