I love that Arthur is often brought along to jobs just to make the others feel safe because he is a good backup or to scare others.
Bill brings Arthur to the bank robbery "just as insurance," Dutch says that the sight of Arthur would make statues talk, Hosea very obviously uses him as a "guard" when going to the Braithwaites.
I love that this indicates if the others are unsure they can pull off a job they know they can with Arthur, or that he is kind of the protector of the group.
Never not thinking about Arthur
You make me feel like a kid again
Camp member most deserving of an undisturbed afternoon nap that ends up going on way too long into the evening is and will always be Charles
There’s a good man within you Arthur, but he is wrestling with a giant
RED DEAD REDEMPTION II ᨖ
dear followers, today i offer you the good boah. tomorrow? who knows... (wip)
arthur's college girl drunksona is so fucking funny. A++++ to rockstar. imagine you're new to the gang and here is big bad gang enforcer arthur morgan, dutch's number one tank and intimidator in chief, bone breaker and known kill on sight terror in multiple states. this guy breathes gunsmoke, threatens to gut people in their sleep like it's nothing, and keeps a bunch of murdering criminals in line. and whenever the subject of drinking comes up, everybody in camp talks in whispers, concern, and disapproval about how this guy gets when he's had too many. thank god he's given that up. because he is unmanageable. a disaster. everyone KNOWS how he gets. and you DON'T want to see it, that's a fact
and then there's some trouble in the valentine saloon with lenny, dutch says they ought to be back by now, "arthur's probably in a state." so they send you in to collect. and you know it must be bad. you've heard the stories about morgan and liquor. you figure it's bloodshed and pandemonium in there, no question. you have no idea how you're going to take this mean son of a bitch down quietly before he torches the place. he's probably killed at least three people by now and god knows if lenny's even still alive
so you walk into the saloon ready to fight for your life and there's big bad arthur morgan. he drunk screams he loves you. he's dancing the fucking can-can
Charles put so much thought into Arthur's grave when he buried him.
He gave him some flowers and carved something into his tombstone.
He buried him somewhere he knew he'd love.
His tombstone was carved into something unique instead of a simple cross that the other seven graves had.
He went searching for his body just to give him a proper burial.
You can argue over whether it was platonic or romantic all you like, but Charles loved and cared for Arthur more than most, if not all the other camp members.
i absolutely love that no one is safe from arthur’s inability to shut the fuck up when something stupid happens. his desire to give lip knows no bounds. he will read you within an inch of your life for no reason other than that you were foolish enough to ask him a dumb question. does this trolley go to tahiti? should i just…sneak on now? 😑 are you secretly normal? oh, i didn’t know i was talking to a LAYDEE. can i turn myself in? i GOTTA GIFT RIGHT HERE. 😤 i don’t have a name 😒 the man said here’s hoping to a potential hanging AND called micah a court jester. he’s an ornery asshole and i want to be his wife
