Rdr1 Spoilers - Tumblr Posts

I've been away since social media has been taking a toll on my mental health and effecting my mood.

I will still post just not as much as I'm in my exploring mods phase in rdr2 currently.

I also have been playing rdr1 and BOY. That game is brutal! There's sex, there's strong language, a lot, and a lot of sad death. I don't know if I've gone soft or what. I know what I signed up for, but all these side deaths are just as sad as the ending to me. But it's keeping me thriving for more.

I just got to the mission where I can see Abigail but I had to go out and kill alot of animals so I can bring another extra $1000 home to the wifey.

But I was doing a nightwatch mission (really fun and one of my favorite side missions to make cash, should have been in rdr2)

And this happened

That man has got some SKILL.

All in all, I almost like the mechanics of rdr1 more... I am not sure. The problems about skinning a kill and not having him take his time. Flip the animal and have to carry a pelt to his horse every time.

The side missions are fun, and often, I ignore anyone who needs help because I die ALOT.

But I love that the high fame and hero status makes everyone greet me and know my name. It feels good to be recognized.

Hoping to go low honor on Jack, tho 😈 hey! He's 19 years old and just is mad at the world.

I wish they carried over the high inventory so early on and the back rifle holster for john into rdr2, tho. I know you can get it with mods, but everything can be buggy with mods

Anyway. I hope you all had a good July so far with family/ loved ones and people who care! 😊

I will be around for yeehawgust. I hope so don't worry about that!

It was a trap! You knew it and didn't tell me john!

I can't believe he didn't make any remark or anything. It's like he led me into a trap!

Source is from pinterest. Sorry, I don't have a link to the exact post (as pinterest is big and unnavigatable), but if you want me to source you or take it down, I will.

The last one almost seems like a joke! 😂

Red Dead Redemption : Undead Nightmare (2010)

In the Undead Nightmare expansion pack of Red Dead Redemption, the western world has become overrun with Zombies. It seems with them, however, came the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Or…at least their horses.

War :

Pestilence :

Famine :

And Death :

These horses are not the Easter Egg, however. After completing all of the Undead Hunter Challenges as well as catching the four previously mentioned horses, a new ‘horse’ will be available. In the Northwest part of Diez Coronas, a Unicorn can be found. There will be no indication that a mythical creature has become available, nor will there be a circle on the map indicating its whereabouts.

Too bad her story ended so tragically. She was loyal to a man, and he didn't even remember her😟

SHES SO FREAKING CUTEEE

No because all the side quests are so  memorable and really, really out there and odd(but in a fun way ofc-) but quick reminder if you play RDR1 for the first time save a few side quests for the epilogue if you wanna play as jack for a bit longer!!

Listen, if you are playing RDR1 for the first time, PLEASE complete the side quest where you pick flowers for the guy's wife. It's such a classic moment, you won't regret it

Reposting this because why not, from what I remember when playing the first RDR game some years ago,

Archer: “Van der Linde is a psychopath. A murderer and a r*pist.”

This is a line in the first game. From the fan wiki so it could be somewhat wrong but with this and from what I remember this sounds like the line

i heard dutch from red dead redemption is a r*pist is that true? please let me know!

Honestly this is one of my favorite takes on why John never mentions Arthur in RDR1.

Crying sobbing all over the floor- absolutely amazing

there's a lot of discussion and speculation about the fact john doesn't speak of arthur in rdr1. logistically it's not hard to understand that rdr1 just came out years before rdr2 and thats why but . But.

but when you think of rdr1 with the additional context two, there is something quite... in line with john trying to forget arthur. wanting to. or burying him. not just in metaphor or in soil but in his memories and in some way failing to do it but in another succeeding

you think of john and his commitment to his son and wife and you think of his willingness to do anything for them. moral or not. righteous or not. and you think of the fact that john didn't know at the time the sort of man arthur believed him to be, but he perhaps modeled himself in the image of his older brother. near incidental. he has so little in common with arthur really. john's broody and lacking remorse and at twenty-six he's inconsiderate entirely in a way arthur never was.

but time is a thief and one day, he turns 38. he's older than arthur when he dies. and john doesn't remember well what he looks like, and all he can feel when he thinks of arthur is grief. grief that never ends. thats the thing about all of it, you'll realize - is that john knows arthur best in the retroactive.

the sort of complicated, odd man arthur was revealed to him in the creases of pages and keepsakes. in the carving of his guns that john finds after arthur is gone. in the ring of the woman arthur loved long ago. in the confessionals to his son isaac and the regret in the letters he wrote to their psuedo father. you realize john knows more of arthurs stagnant ghost that can't guide john into manhood the way he so desperately needs. and it's all he has to go by to make a man of himself.

john never finds out what kind of man arthur believed him to be and he has to infer the real good man arthur was. in grief there is love. john loved arthur enough to want to be like him. and in burying the living, breathing man arthur was he's forced to cling to his spirit. has to piece together the kindness of his older brother through memories and diary entries and secondhand stories. and that's how he models himself in rdr1 to me. where arthur is moral john becomes dutiful and where arthur is kind, john is helpful. he becomes the shadow of arthurs best qualities. he can never be arthur. no one could ever be arthur, even if arthur had given them the page by page instructions of how to do so. this is all he has. all he knows. all he can do.

john misses his brother. so he tries to embody him. but he can't really in the same way he can't grieve him. so he makes a home for arthurs ghost to return to in himself. john never mentions arthur because it dregs up painful what-ifs, but they share so many mannerisms and bastardized qualities. john has fashioned himself based on those loose memories.

one day, a stranger meets john and says. "why would you remember me, friend? you've forgotten far more important people than me" and john will remember all the ghosts he's ever loved briefly. there will be a blurry face and a forgiving voice and it will sound like a memory and it will linger in johns ribcage like a moth. and john won't remember. he won't. he can't. he buried his brother without ever doing it.

john says a lot of things. feels a lot of things. he shoots his gun to the stranger who calls his memory into question and the thing jams and the bastard roams free. john will taste blood in his mouth. he'll feel a cough in his lungs and well, he won't remember his brother still. buried men must stay buried.

of course. of course john never mentions arthur. he can't remember him, even though he's inherited so much of his manner. to speak it of him would be admitting to his existence. its admitting: i miss you. im sorry. it was my fault.

of course john never mentions arthur. he's made all this effort in forgetting him that even when his body and his gesture and his character betray the fact he's forgotten - his mind will soothe the pain and blur out his face.

and instead of remembering in life even once, he'll die the same way arthur did. alone. protective. contented. redeemed. john loves arthur like most brothers do - with muscle memory.

even if john cuts the necrosis of arthurs memory off of him, his body will twitch at the phantom feeling of his existence. john remembers even when he can't. arthur his only brother. the most important man he's ever forgotten.
