John Marston for the ask meme? :)c

OH HELL YEAH

1: sexuality headcanon

big ol bisexual!

2: otp

jovier!!! there’s just something about best friends in love

also i am a huuuuuge sucker for john and abigail (like obviously there’s a lot that could be better with them and the writing doesn’t do it justice and i could write a lot about their issues BUT) john’s little I’M GETTING MARRIED and his flirting with abi in rdr1?? so good

3: brotp

john and sadie, just from their relationship in the epilogue. I feel like sadie would challenge him to be better but she doesn’t have the same expectations of him as everyone else who’s known him longer so there would be less pressure on john, sadie doesn’t have all these years on john so it’s almost a fresh perspective on him.

and i said this on the charles ask but john and charles for sure, i think they get along well, almost for the same reason john would get along with saide in that charles hasn’t known john for a long time, he wouldn’t have the same expectations for john. Charles isn’t the type of person to poke and pester and prod and I think John would appreciate that for him and John too with Charles, he respects him and wouldn’t try to force him to talk or perform for him in anyway the way others might expect out of charles, they work easily and quietly together and they can also act like idiots together.

oh and john and kenneth of course

4: notp

feel like this is obvious but john and any of his family, im not sure of many other john ships outside of those that make me extremely uncomfortable. john and bonnie is iffy but it’s mostly all based on how it’s written and all that because i do have wips of it lmao

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

first one is that he likes horror stories/movies, like john doesn’t get startled or easily scared by stuff like that. So if someone around the campfire told a ghost story, john wouldn’t be afraid, he’d enjoy the hell out of it. (modern au he loves horror movies)

6: favorite line from this character

“when a man with a sing song voice tells me to fuck off, it always concerns me boyo”

there’s so many more things he says that are like deep and emotional and have an impact but like, i just love this one so much lmao.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

honestly i dont know?? usually characters i love and relate to have dad issues/abandonment issues but john IS the dad who abandoned his child so i don’t know what my deal is with him, he’s just very special to me. i guess maybe it’s in the inherent transgenderness of john not fully knowing who he is outside of other people’s perceptions and trying to form himself to fit those standards and expectations.

i mean john does have abandonment issues and dad issues with both his father dying young and john not having positive memories of him and literally everything that happens with dutch

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

literally any time he denies that jack is his kid like john. john please. also like the entirety of rdr1 where he’s acting like a boring centrist like please have just like Some morals for five minutes.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

i guess problematic fav even though i just hate saying that phrase lmao because so many people misuse it to mean they love bigots omfg but i mean really, i love john very much but he fucks up a lot and is very much a white guy from the 1800s.

#asks #thank you trev!!!#i love getting any chance to talk about john #rdr2
