    Summary

    From my tumblr blog scarfacemarston. These are a lot of meta posts of either topics I felt needed to be analyzed or were questions I received by request. Feel free to request more subjects through here or my tumblr.
    I'm also a historian with specialties in the history of medicine and the history of sex work. I work as a historian and these are some of the requests I've received over time or subjects I thought might be interesting to write about.
    I can provide sources for historical writings. As for my metas, these are my arguments based on evidence. However, you do not need to agree with me, and that is okay.

    These include questions like
    "Did Dutch sleep with Abigail?"
    " Is John blind in one eye?"
    "What did Javier do after RDR 2?"
    "How do you avoid certain character tropes?"
    "How do you write sex workers?"
    "What everyday items existed in the game that we wouldn't know about?"
    "Could you know who have lived with tuberculosis?"
    " How was Jack educated?"
    "John Marston is not stupid"
    and many, many more!

    Check the notes of each chapter for trigger warnings. Some posts will have them. Some won't.
    Heavy spoilers for both games.

    Summary

    “You don't eat, Mister?”

     

    John looked up to the voice, startled despite himself - he should know better than to let his guard down, really. He was met with the sight of a young man, long brown hair hanging around the hard angle of his face, dark brown eyes staring at him. His dark mustache was split in the middle, but also a bit on the left, a hole left by a scar. He had both a soul patch and a goatee, which looked slightly strange, in John's opinion. The man was wearing a beige and dusty coat that went past his hips, above a leather gunbelt, a Mauser in the holster. There was a red bandana stripped with white around his neck hiding the collar of a white shirt.

     

    John could tell just by looking in his eyes that the boy had seen too much too fast. There was also something strangely familiar about him, but John couldn't pinpoint what.

     

    “Do I know you?” he asked instead of answering.

     

    “Uh, no,” the boy replied with unease. “But I know you. You won't eat that?”

    Summary

    Nothing more confusing than dying on a mountainside of tuberculosis in 1899, only to wake up with a concussion and a husband in 2023.

    It's fine, it'll work itself out.

    Summary

    “Now this here is Boadecia,” Dutch announced, stopping a safe distance away from a dark bay mare who pinned her ears at him. Charles followed his example.

    “She recently won a three-star, put on quite a sho—” The man paused and stepped forward, putting a hand up to block Boadecia’s head when she tried to bite him. He sighed. “Arthur has got to quit sleeping in her stall.”

    Charles stepped forward, following his gaze.

    Ah, so this was Arthur.

    OR

    Dutch: you can pick out any horse you want!
    Arthur: *picks out the devil mare*
    Dutch: FUCK

    OR

    Dutch: you can pick out any significant other you want!
    Arthur: *picks out the competition*
    Dutch: FUCK

    Summary

    Around 1899, Dutch van der Linde began changing. He started... killing for more than survival. Angelo Bronte's murder stuck with John, and with Abigail revealing her second pregnancy soon after, he realized that this camp was quickly turning into something dangerous for his family. He had to choose between two selves— the outlaw and the father. And he chose.

    1911- The Marstons (and Morgan) have established themselves as a semi-successful hunting family in West Elizabeth. Though dirt poor, they are generally at peace with themselves and the lives that they've built. That is, until a fifteen-year-old Jack gets it in his head that he can spare them from lifelong debt by hunting down a risky bounty (a task made none the easier with his ten-year-old sister insisting on tagging along).

    After so many years, how did that god-forsaken gang worm its way back into John's life?
