I Gotta Make Dutch Proud. - Tumblr Posts

I like the idea in like 90% of the fics I read where Hosea is like: “We don’t need a kid, Dutch.” And Dutch thinks it’s a great idea.

Of course Dutch’s overall intentions is to raise a loyal soldier and a sharer of his ideals. But Hosea eventually becomes softened by the pathetic thing, and by God he’d protect them with his entire life.

Yes of course this is seen with both Arthur and John, but more so with Arthur bc he was the first little street urchin they found. And so Dutch wanted him to become a strong, loyal, protector, but all Hosea wanted from him in the end was a son <3

Anyways, Hosea Matthews got me crying in the club 🥲
