#Dutch van der Linde

Okay but the Van der Linde Gang playing Uno while drunk would be more than just funny.
Sean is yelling in his thick Irish accent
Javier is shouting at Sean in Spanish
The two of them think they are speaking the same language
Arthur is quietly placing down a card and keeps saying “Uno” after he places a card
Bill is upset because he never has the right color
Kieran is sitting there with 30 cards in his hands
John doesn’t know how to play and is trying to play poker with his cards (doesn’t know how to play poker either)
Dutch keeps telling himself he has a plan to get rid of his cards
Micah some how has nothing but uno reverse cards
Charles won a long time ago but everyone was too drunk to notice
Hosea is sipping his red wine and watching the chaos
I just think this is exactly how it would play out.

what's the point of liking antagonists and villains if you're just going to justify and ignore every act of antagonism and villainy - can people please learn to be more comfortable liking characters who aren't good without feeling this incessant need to change them.
like be fucking for real, be an apologist but at least acknowledge that they did all that without trying to justify their behaviour.
i'm so tired of people finding excuses for dutch and micah (even arthur, too). it's never "dutch took advantage of a fucking genocide because he's a bad person" or "dutch abused his girlfriend because he's a bad person" it's always "dutch did these things because he's mentally ill/bonked his head".
by attributing his actions solely to mental illness, you're inadvertently stigmatizing mental health issues rather than addressing the complexities of his behaviour.
like I won't deny he is mentally ill, nor will I deny that his mental state is clearly deteriorating over the course of the game but he didn't do these things and more because he's mentally ill, he did this because he's a bad person.
the head injury theory also completely ignores the fact that he was already acting erratic earlier in the story, far back into chapter two.
i mean, he shot an innocent woman during the blackwater massacre for no apparent reason, and that's where I would argue he is the most stable before he injured his head in chapter four.
fortunately for micah, there isn't much people use to justify his behaviour, mostly because what he does is downright deplorable, but the excuses for him are just as stupid, whether linking to his upbringing (ignoring the fact that there are people like lenny, tilly, charles, sean, kieran and even arthur who had an incredibly similar childhood to micah who are all marginally better people than micah) or the fact that when he turned the gang in 'for the greater good' when no, he did it because he was cruel and greedy and he continued to be an outlaw where he ended up murdering a child in cold blood.
even arthur, like I've talked a length about the good arthur does and how good of a man I believe him to be, but he still abandoned his family due to his loyalty for the gang, he still beat a sick man closer to his death, he still terrorised and robbed and injured and killed innocent people and those acts are unforgivable.
people have got to learn how to like nuanced characters without stripping them of their complexity because otherwise, then that is the point.

this was supposed to be just a face study but i got carried away...

big fan of dutch's visual look! he just screams "character" to me; he looks like a man with a story to tell. combined with his outfits, he's one of my favourite character designs.
i gave him chest hair because he looked empty without some :P

Had it not been for Hosea and Dutch, John would have been hanged and Arthur would have still become an outlaw as the conditions for him existed for that, and might have even been sent to a workhouse where he might have gotten TB there too.
All these characters would have still been doomed by the narrative :( And sorries for the sad post, I promise you my next ramblings will return to fluff ❤️

I love this mission for this part 😭 (also I changed my outfit solely bc I got new chaps that I wanted to try even though I haven't even taken any pictures 💀)

Do y'all like my knife? 😃

But I love how Arthur and John are literally squishing themselves together just so Dutch can have as much space as possible and he doesn't even use all of it 🫠

either treat abigail, molly, mary, with respect or die looking down the barrel of my gun
i'm being one hundred percent serious when i say i'm tired of people disregarding and disrespecting them to uplift their queer ships. it's bad and it needs to stop.
like i just read a jovier post where they have john cheat on abigail?what the fuck man.
his love for her is unwavering and he is incredibly committed to abigail, he's so devoted to her, working so hard to create a life for the three of them. john is willing to lay down his life to protect his family, and he does so, rescuing them is his whole motive for seeking redemption in the first game. he would never disrespect abigail like that, he's learned and grown, he's no longer the shithead deadbeat dad when jack was young, he loves her.
arthur still so clearly loves mary, his love remaining steadfast and unwavering even years after their broken engagement, it's so obvious on his face when he looks at her. his heart still yearns for her that when she calls, he comes, even if he's a little miffed at the start, he still goes. honestly, i believe if arthur didn't have other commitments in the gang, he would have run away with her when she asked him.
and while molly and dutch's relationship is tumultuous and dutch absolutely does not deserve her, molly is so important to dutch's character and the story as a whole. molly's loyalty to dutch highlights dutch's charisma and the ways dutch inspires loyalty throughout the gang. her existence also depicts the internal conflicts dutch has and the moral uncertainty of dutch's actions. her presence within the gang and relationship with dutch represents the internal strife and conflicts within the gang, highlighting the human cost of their choices and the sacrifices that are made in pursuit of a false freedom in the old west.
and let's not even mention the treatment eliza, annabelle, bessie and even susan receive, which is hardly any mention at all.
eliza, annabelle and bessie each play small but significant parts to not just their respective partners, but to the story as a whole.
eliza shapes arthu’rs past and motivations. her tragic death, along with their son, isaac, has a large impact on arthur and his present relationships, such as abigail and jack. their memory serves as a driving force of arthurs path to redemption.
annabelles fate fuels dutch's vendetta against colm and the o'driscolls, and adds personal stakes to the gang as a reminder of the consequences of their life as an outlaw.
and bessie, oh bessie, not only does she add depth to hosea and represents hosea's wishes for a more peaceful life, but hosea loves her so much that when coming to terms with his inevitable death, whether by gunshot or sickness, the mere chance of reuniting with bessie brings him so much comfort, despite the fact that he fears that bessie lives above, while hosea will be traveling down below.
susan is a very controversial character due to her treatment of the women in the gang and her murdering molly, who did not betray the gang, both of which i do not condone, but it is impossible to deny her importance to the story. not only was, from what we know, dutch's first woman, coming before annabelle and molly, she also served an important role in the gang, acting as an authority figure, maintaining order and discipline within the gang where tensions often rise. she serves as an emotional anchor, which is incredibly important when death is constantly looming over you and adds so much depth and complexity to the story of rdr2.
when you ignore and disregard these characters you are undermining the depth and the richness of the story, each of these characters are important to the story. if you wish to truly appreciate the storytelling of rdr2, it is important to recognize and respect each of these characters.

OMG I SAW SOMEONE SAY RDR UNDEAD NIGHTMARE 2 BETTER BE YOU PLAYING AS DUTCH WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA AND I CANT AGREE MORE
imagine trying to kill zombies and trying to survive and while in the middle of everything you’re seeing dead people from camp, like lenny, seán and molly. you as dutch has to come to the realisation what you did wrong and finally allowing yourself to be comfort… and you finally think everything is dying down and you think the stuff you’re seeing is coming to an end. but… BANG arthur and hosea, blaming you for what happened and you slowly become deprived and exhausted… ANYWAYS IMMA PROBABLY MAKE A SMALL COMIC OR SOMETHING OF THIS BYEEEE 👍
