AUDIO FILES ARE FINISHED. 4 YEAR PROJECT DONE
YES! YOU HEARD RIGHT! EVERY AUDIO FILE EXCEPT FOR A FEW.
GUYS, please, if you run across something you like, like and reblog it! I worked so hard on these for years and lost money.
Don't worry if something is "Old". This is an archive for YOU. USE IT.
The ones NOT uploaded break tumblr's rules of content rules for racism. So, no no Bill or Micah being racist towards Charles, Javier etc. No Bill/Kieran audio. I don't feel comfortable with it and I don't want to be reported. Final one is Lenny's father's pocket watch story. It has so many triggers in it, I couldn't cut everything out without it being a mess.
Finally, I did a poll and people voted that I write transcripts for all of the files that need it. So you WILL see some of them reblogged!
I have some tidbits I'll find and post! If you want an individual piece, let me know!

I know it's quite the topic of debate, but I thought I'd share my thoughts on Strauss getting kicked out of camp anyways.
Just to be clear, Strauss having a place in the gang proves that Dutch doesn't follow his own code unless it benefits him in some way. It's true that Strauss brings in money, but the fact that Dutch said himself that robbing banks is more dignified than usury - loaning money with insane interest to the poor - says an awful lot. He knows exactly what Strauss does to lure in the poor to take up his offers and still allows him to do it.
In a way, Strauss and Dutch are similar in how they lure in the poor and destitute to work for them. That's likely why Dutch has no strong feelings towards Strauss and his work, because they aren't too different from one another.
Common criticisms I see for Arthur kicking out Strauss is how unfair it is since "Strauss is as bad as the rest of the gang". While I would usually agree to an extent, but Strauss is a unique case.
Robbing banks, rich folk in trains, shops and killing lawmen are still big crimes that cannot be downplayed, but compared to deliberately prying on the poor - and offering them loans they will never be able to pay off - is sick work on its own. Especially when Strauss is so nonchalant about it, calling it simply "legal work" with physical abuse involved.
Strauss stayed in the gang because they protected him and he was able to use Arthur as means for guaranteeing payment. It's worth noting how much Arthur despised the work too, he loathed it entirely and his resentment for Strauss built up until he finally took action.
To highlight, majority of Strauss' "clients" were working themselves (and their families) to death even if they were already sick themselves. Families with children, the elderly, the ill, destitute, starving and working themselves ragged to pay off an impossible debt.
And Strauss knows this, that's why he still did it because he knew these poor families had no choice.
Compare that to robbing a train full of rich folk.
Almost laughable, right? The rich can afford to replace their stolen goods, Leviticus Cornwall can afford another train, the city can afford to reimburse the banks. The rich, however, cared very little for the poor. These destitute families had nobody to help them and these loans seemed like answered prayers until they needed to be paid off.
And they were beaten for not being able to pay.
The gang never targeted the poor for just monetary gain, apart from Strauss.
Strauss is a vulture, going for the easy pickings in his work. I believe he deserved to be kicked out and I agree with Arthur that it was long overdue.

RDR2: Do They Munch?
Arthur Morgan: Yes. Mary made him stay clean shaven for optimal munching
John Marston: pre 1907- no. Would literally gag. Post 1907- yes. Definitely used his teeth the first time. Left Abigail bruised.
Charles Smith: Yes. He gets nervous, but he'll do it if you ask
Javier Escuella: Yes, but only for someone he's close with. Definitely went down on Abigail
Bill (Marion) Williamson: ABSOLUTELY NOT!! This is a gay man. He would CRY
Micah Bell: This man is THE most SELFISH lover. He's only here to get himself off. He does NOT munch. Finds it disgusting.
Josiah Trelawny: This man munches EAGERLY. He will munch even if it's your time of the month.
Dutch van der Linde: Says he will, but doesn't. Molly definitely begged him multiple times and he would always say "maybe next time"
Hosea Matthews: Yes. He's not afraid to munch. Was always happy to please Bessie.
Orville Swanson: No. This man don't even fuck, let alone munch. Dick limp from drinking.
