A perfect couple of men about who rockstars were too lazy to give us more content on my account wall
i drew some stupid STUPID men for warming up.. go get a room!! GET A ROOM!!!
Something that kills me about rdr1 is John's apparent feelings towards the Javier, Bill, and Dutch.
Javier, he is 50/50 with. He can kill him or turn him in alive. It's clear that he's still very hurt from what happened between them, but it's also apparent how he still cares deeply for him. He talks highly of him. Fondly, even, as Reyes puts it. When choosing to kill Javier, he sheds a tear before bitterly spitting on his body.
When killing Bill, John shows little to no remorse. Sure, he tries to settle things civilly to begin with, but after realizing that he has no other choice, he doesn't make a big fuss about it. He doesn't think twice about shooting Bill in the dirt and handing his body over.
Then there's Dutch.
After handing over Bill's body, John demands his family be returned home safe and sound, only for Agent Ross to remind him that he still needs to find Dutch. John doesn't want to. He was trying to get out of it. He was hoping that Ross would just forget about Dutch now that he's gotten Javier and Bill.
John and Dutch play this cat and mouse game over and over, chasing after each other, tormenting each other, shooting at each other, but never killing one another.
Then there's the final stand off.
John had the full opportunity to shoot Dutch where he stood on the edge of that cliff, but he didn't. He couldn't. Before him, he didn't see a monster. He saw the man who raised him. He saw a father.
In his hesitation, Dutch also had every advantage to turn this around and kill John. But he doesn't. He watched Arthur die. Hell, he killed Arthur. He killed his other son, and he knows it. It haunts him. He can't kill the other one, too. So instead, he kills himself.
After his fall, Ross comments on the fact that even after all this time, John still didn't have the guts to kill Dutch. He then takes John's gun and shoots Dutch's lifeless body to make it appear as if John had killed him. "Looks better in the papers," he says.
It's such a heartbreaking detail. They couldn't hurt each other up on Mount Hagen. They couldn't hurt each other in the end.

The new obsession.
Mi padre bought me RDR2 and I am OBSESSED
So y'all get silly doodles
I've been thinking about rdr2 atla au and just mkay hear me out:
John: The fucking Avatar, left the temple when he realised, walked the land, when he realised war was about to start he wanted to fly back to the air temple, the storm caught him on his way. Very mad that he is the avatar but also really wants to kick firelords ass, just doesn't know if he is capable enough.
Arthur: The adoptive son of the southern water tribe chief, a firebender but keeps it a secret bcs FUCK FIRE NATION. Knows the ways of the water tribe and is pretty mad the chief left him and Charles here. At the beginning of the series he only knows basic firebending- his technique is very much akin to waterbending (WHICH ALSO MEANS eventually mf will have no problem with lightning bending wink wink) Finds John with Charles while fishing.
Charles: Biological son of the southern water tribe chief and will soon be the new one, with Arthur they are true brothers ALSO he knows Arthur is a firebender. Takes him out to fish regularly to calm both their minds, is also frustrated their father didn't take them with but also understands someone has to protect their tribe. Waterbender, knows basic healing. (The idea is that their father had Charles quite young therefore while he is old, that man is STRONG AF like yes grey hair but also just an incredible water bender, he took in Arthur as a young child/toddler).
Dutch: Zuko and Azula in one. A firebender and a firenation ex-general, kicked out because he spoke out of line. His punishment is looking for the avatar because the firelord knows it's a goose chase. At this point he wants to find an avatar AND overthrow the firelord. (Don't worry Hosea I have a plan).
Hosea: You know he is the uncle Iroh, firebender ofc. Dutchs bestfriend, goes to look for avatar with him, because of that he is no longer a general. Did attack Ba Sing Se, failed and his wife died during. Conflicted on the war, connected with spirit world, taught Dutch his techniques, protective over his and Dutchs soldiers.
Mary Linton: Princess of the northern water tribe, TURNS INTO THE MOON, poor Arthur.
Sadie Adler: Firenation killed her husband, earthbender and is the one to teach John earthbending.
Javier Esquella and Bill Williamson: Send after avatar by firelord, their tactic is to befriend John, end up being conflicted if they want to turn him in or let him kill the firelord
Micah: the firelord- no, I'm kidding, but the guy that got appointed into Dutchs place. When the word spreads that avatar is back and the firelord realises Javier and Bill aren't as efficient as he thought, he hires Micah to find and catch the avatar. At some point teams up with Dutch.
THE ROUGH STORY (i choose to age down the rdr2 characters and subsequently age up their character forms in atla)
Young John is raised at the temple by the air nomads. He is pretty fiesty and overall not a great student, but the monks know he is the avatar. When John finds out, he is very conflicted and unsure of himself. He gets intense airbending training, but because he is not a very well mannered student, they decide to send him away to continue his training (they know war is in the air). John, overwhelmed, runs away and walks the land for few years, somehow managing to never be found. As a young adult, he realises how bad everything is and goes back. He finds his sky bison still waiting, surviving in a cave. Guilt sets in and he flies off, but gets caught in a storm AND FROZEN.
100 years later, Arthur and Charles are the only two men who didn't go with the others to war. They go out fishing and because Arthur is frustrated (they didn't get a message from their father for a long time), Charles suggest him trying some firebending to "blow out steam". It gets out of hand and their ship burns, melting some of the ice. And so they see John and get him and his bison out of the ice. The explosion alerts nearby Dutch and Hosea. But worry not, John kicks their asses.
John, Charles and Arthur start their way to the northern water tribe. Arthur tags along because he thinks that when John finds a firebending master, he could finally learn something new. In the north, Arthur has a romance with Mary, but who turns into the moon while saving the moon spirit. Dutch and Hosea do catch John for a while, but he gets saved by the others. In the end, he and Charles learn new waterbending from the waterbending master.
In a village near Omashu they find Sadie, a strong earthbender and a widow whose husband was killed by the firenation. She agrees to teach John earthbending. They also find the kyoshi island, where Susan, Karen, Tilly and Mary-Beth promise to help if the avatar ever needs it.
During their time they have Dutch and Hosea on their tails but also Javier and Bill. Their tactic on befriending them ends up causing Javier (because he is a way stronger firebender than Bill) to teach John firebending. But the learning is not finished when a huge fight happens between them all AND Micah, who starts it. Javier and Bill show their true colours, so it's Dutch, Micah, Bill and Javier againts Arthur, Charles, John and Sadie. Hosea (at that point againts firelord), gets killed by John when he is in the avatr state. It ends with John being hurt while in avatar state.
Now on the run, John, Charles, Arthur and Sadie end up on a small island in the sea around the north. There he gets healed by a waterbender aka Abigail.
Sozins commet is close and so the final fight comes. John againts the firelord, Arthur and Charles againts Dutch (agni kai, Arthur is able to send back Dutchs lightning), Sadie and Charles againts Micah (they find out Javier and Bill never came back to the firenation, instead they deserted).
In the end John comes back to the island and finds out Abigail is pregnant (cough cough they had a one night stand) and so he spends most of his time there. ALSO PLOT TWIST WHY WAS ARTHUR SUCH A POWERFUL FIREBENDER WELL HE IS RELATED TO THE ROYAL FAMILY and so by some paperwork lies he becomes the new king (during their travels they find more firebenders who helo him with ruling + his father helps). Sadie stays with Arthur mainly just to look for excuses to kill- I mean be mean to ex-firenation soldiers. Charles is now the chief of the southern water tribe and when he and John have time, they look for any airbenders that could leave the temples and survive in hiding.

Hello Colm,
While i understand that my criticism of your handwriting may have felt hurtful or insulting i feel like the murder and consumption of both Orville Swanson and Bill Williamson is blowing this completely out of proportion.
Now, i may not be able to express myself as politely and well written as esquilone but a infamous gang leader like you are shouldn't be ignored none the less.
That being said and out of the way, i don't know how a rotting carcass of a man like you can have the audacity to call me brittle boned when your skin is probably going to peel off soon. Either way, you and 'your boys' will never find me. Not tomorrow and not anyday that i breathe. If you find me afterwards, i hope you choke on my flesh. I wish you luck nonetheless.
Sincerely, VaronEatsEyes
P.s. Thank you for the recipe and cooking and cooking instructions. I'll be sure to remember them for our next meeting.
He's my favourite out of the gang tbh
So.. is it cringy to say im so proud of my Rockstar babies to put such a huge effort into rdr2 and make it the best game ever. And oh god their music is just... not even words can express the way they make you feel.
Physically: Kieran Duffy
Mentally: Javier Escuella
Emotionally: Sean Macguire
Style: Bill Williamson
Yes!!! This!!!! They put any toxic couple to shame!!!! So bad for each other it just works, but it makes so much sense that it does!!! Ty for the beautiful essay on my vision 🥲🙏
Can we start pairing micah and bill together they're made for each other. A disgusting man and his equally as disgusting partner.

Sorry for not seeing this before I didn't get notified. Anyway, thank you for had created this Au ❤
Gonna leave a fanart of Mac below and some thoughts
• I know he might not look like that, but I don't care
• Didn't draw Davey because my art skills stop working
• but for me he may have this kind of brat face like Will Poulter when he was younger
• Mac's hair is just as gourgeus as Kim Rossi Stuart in The Cave of the Golden Rose
• They situation remind me of the songs Evelyn Evelyn and Be Nice to Me by The Front Bottons
• Based on your headcanons about Bill being the oficial grill guy, he probably flirts with Mac by leting him eat before its ready, even telling him what was the bests beefs to pick.
Don't know if you're still receving asks, but could you talk about the Callander boys? Really intrested in how they doing, their raletionship as brothers, with the gang, if they have partners, how they look like. Also if they were some of the first that died how they manage to find each other?
yes still receiving asks! just went back to work full time so sorry for the delay! i will answer these questions backwards
mac knew the gang were heading north, and despite being shot made it a significant way north before the pinkertons caught up with him. if anything, mac being found by the pinkertons heading in that general north direction is what made it so easy for the pinkertons to follow traces of the gang to horseshoe overlook.
he timewarped roughly around cattail pond, and with no idea what was happening or going on, he just continued going north because finding his brother was his only priority
davey, similarly, woke up with very little idea what the hell was happening but thinking he'd been left behind by the gang after passing out instead of realizing he'd died (blood loss + infection is a hell of a drug), he turned around and started trekking back towards blackwater in an effort to find mac. before the delirium and gaps on consciousness kicked in he had been shouting at anyone who would listen that they had to go back for mac
they found each other, finally took a second to acknowledge the fact the whole world seemed so different, only to immediately attempt to rob a bank at gunpoint due to timewarping with everything that was on their persons at the time. this resulted in them being arrested and charged with aggravated robbery and being sentenced to a 10 year prison sentence before bessie was able to find them
if anything they almost enjoyed prison. significantly less working on a chain gang compared to 1890s. and doing 10 years, having prison routine, gaining some practical skills and being able to learn about modern era through supervised computer time was probably the only way mac + davey had a chance of learning.
even with the VDLs, and being aggressively protective and productive members of the VDLs, mac and davey had always been solely dedicated to each other. the members of the gang who did know them on a more personal level almost accepted the second davey died they weren't going to find mac, because they were always absolutely inseparable.
just being around the gang in modern era would not have been enough for them to cope - they needed that slow, can't do anything in prison other than realize they're in a completely different era and there's new rules and expectations
their relationship as brothers is really, really intense. mac pretty much raised davey after their parents died to avoid him going into an orphanage. that level of blind, reckless devotion never went away. he is His baby brother no matter how old he gets. and davey has gotten used to that, and sees anything or anyone trying to take his brother away from him as a threat to be annihilated.
when they get out of prison of course bessie + hosea and the collective gang are happy to help them try to adjust to both modern era and life outside of prison. mac is excited for a second chance at life. he's willing to try getting a shit job and engage with modern era and see how the world has changed because it's the first time in his life since the death of his parents he hasn't had to be an outlaw to fight for his and his brother's survival
davey, on the other hand - loathes modern era. he doesn't remember anything other than fighting alongside his brother, the gangs they rode with, terrorizing the west and living lawlessly. every time mac tries to take a step forward, davey is there barking and pulling trying to take two steps back. and mac will never leave his brother behind. toxic siblings.
things only get worse when bill turns up. because bill being there means the callanders have to address the big, rainbow elephant in the room. mac is gay. mac is 'has never been with a woman physically or romantically' gay. both mac and davey have those 19th century values, and when it was just the two of them running they never had to bring it up because davey could live in denial and mac didn't exactly have time to pursue relationships.
the closest they ever got to addressing it was riding with the VDLs, because bill and mac were.. very close in canon era. and when davey made it clear he didn't like bill, everyone just assumed it was because bill is bill not because he actually had an issue with bill's 'deviancy'.
but modern era, no gunslinging, no distractions, an increasingly visible and loud circa 2010s pro-lgbt atmosphere, mac is actually realizing he isn't as deformed for liking men as 19th century would have him believe meanwhile davey is so obnoxiously homophobic hosea is 👌 close to punching him in the throat. not only because he appreciates mac is trying to better himself and davey is an anchor absolutely drowning him, and very much likely to get them both thrown in prison again, but also so many of his gang children are big old glitter bomb gays and he will not have davey making that an issue in his wife's damned house.
inevitably, davey fucks up. davey actually kills somebody and gets sentenced to a proper 20-life prison sentence, and for the first time in their lives (other than the immediate aftermath of blackwater) the callanders find themselves separated. mac is constantly visiting but davey somehow blames mac for him being in prison, and also is just kind of a shit of a little brother who thinks mac trying to have a life is a betrayal
mac moves in with bill and also works on the ranch because a) he still really doesn't get modern era and finds peace in being around horses, herding, doing manual labor farmhand style and b) no one should overanalyze the fact there is only one bed in the camper they now share
