My favorite fictional characters fall into two categories, those being
1) I want to delicately pin them up in a display case as you would a butterfly in order to study and preserve their every feature and trait and shield them from The Horrors™️
2) I want to put them in a prescription bottle and shake them around
Hey so um this is making me sick with grief

One of the things that absolutely wrecks me about Charles is the fact he does not see the goodness he brings to others. He talkd about how he feels that he exists to hurt others and to suffer himself, meanwhile John writes that he sees Charles as an "unsurprising pillar of strength," similarly Arthur calls him "the best man I have ever known."
The visceral rage that just filled my body
Yall know the mission "My Last Boy"? Yeah the one where Dutch sends a bunch of the native Americans to their deaths, the one where Arthur leads Dutch to the money, the one where Arthur gets steam blown in the face, where Dutch leaves him and he would have died if it wasn't for Eagle Flies? Yeah that one. Arthur isn't paid anything for that mission.
Instead we are given a little message saying "the other half is split between the gang members who worked the job" meaning Dutch does not think Arthur contributed in that mission.He killed all those folk, he fought, he almost died and he showed Dutch the location of the money, yet he didn't get anything because he didn't work it apparently.
The beginning of chapter 5 portrays Arthur's confusion so well; yes, it's lengthy, and the player spends a few good moments just walking forward, but up to this point, Arthur is portrayed as a strong, capable and unbreakable man and all of a sudden he's thrown into a new world, and his body is capable of just barely moving forward.
This is the beginning of the end for Arthur. For the first time, he's no longer the strong man, he saw Dutch abandoning him on that boat, he watched Hosea and Lenny die with no time to mourn them and he is stuck on an island, probably assuming he's all alone.
It's also why the entire chapter feels out of place and confusing; the characters also have no clue what's going on, no one is in control of their situation and they're just doing their very best to survive.
Literally wanted to cry the first time I heard him say this about himself.
“Sour faced idiot…”
Oh, I love him so much. I just had to draw him like this. He’s so handsome, but he unfortunately sees himself as ugly as the deeds he’s done. They could never make me hate you, Arthur 😔
I would genuinely be willing to put up with being a woman in the late nineteenth century if I could just give Arthur Morgan a hug

My mind never calms down, I'm sorry Arthur I always draw you when in mid crisis god there's 3 thousand drums banging in my head right now and my eyes are like flashing lights
