my headcanon is at least One member in the van der linde gang isn't going by their real name
cus ykn how most joined by attempting to steal from dutch or hosea or whatever
there had to be one that didn't trust the gang At All and told them a fake name and after they realised tha gang could be trusted, they were already wayyy too far in deep to suddenly go like "oh by the way i'm actually (name) aha awkwarrrrd ,,,,"
(seen a few ppl do this,, if you started this definitely lmk and I’ll credit u !!)

I was visiting Kieran's grave the other day and there were light blue flowers not far away and they reminded me a lot of him it was crazy so I decided to make a list of flowers that remind me of all the rdr2 characters
