actualy dutch running away at 15 haunts me a little bit because when you think of him young you tend to think of him in his 20s instead of a 15 year old whos thrown himself into the world with no plan. where would he sleep?? i doubt he knew how to make his own tent. what woukd he eat how would he bathe?? did he sneak into inns or hide little caves. little dig outs inn the ground. arthur notes that dutch isnt a man to hide in a cave. but hes just 15. hes a child. hes probably never took another mans life. he doesnt know how to hunt. maybe hes just as charismatic. charming the hearts of cowboys and working women into giving him a place to stay. sharing their meal with him. was he all alone?? did he cling to what companionship he could?? like. what did he even do with himself. hes just 15. it was probably the smallest hed ever felt

#punching concrete. yes. arthur and john get oprhaned at even younger ages and have to fight for their lives. but there has been plenty of #discussion abt this. i wanna talk about my son #and no this isnt a “oooo poor baby hes never done anything wrong ever”#this is me thinking about a dutch who was nowhere near the man he is because hes fucking 15 #hes 15 #and hes stupid and got mad at his mother and threw himself into the world to chase a dream #hes a teenager. and he knows nothing #and i think that dutch always had that cruelty #that manipulative nature #its built in #but i think here #in this small sliver of freedom. he is guileless #and he is small #and the mountains are towering and the fields go on for miles #anyways #yeagh #young dutch van der linde i need to take him away forever. im going to raise him right
