It’s just something about John Marston being twenty-six. Little John needs saving again. Twenty-six and he thinks he’s going to bleed out on a snowy mountain top. Twenty-six and he’s watching his friends die all around him. Twenty-six and he’s got a kid and a wife to think about. Twenty-six and one of the only fathers he’s ever known gets shot in front of him. Twenty-six and the only father he’s got left stands idly by while he gets arrested. Twenty-six and the only father he’s got is disappointed to see him out of jail. Twenty-six and the only father he’s got leaves him to die on the side of a railroad track. Twenty-six and he’s on a snowy mountain again, this time saying goodbye to his only brother. Little John needs saving again. Take my hat this time, too. I know, I know. Twenty-six and starting a life. Twenty-six and utterly, completely, absolutely alone.

i know it’s a dumb cheat code but i’m not listening lalala it’s actually god (the strange man) speaking to john because he’s running around like a maniac killing folk for being a little snarky and building an even higher price on his head and hunting bounty hunters for sport because ranch life makes him feel miserable and useless and too fucking still, and it wasn’t enough to see micah’s brain matter scattered over the snow, it wasn’t enough to see dutch’s last act of care and kindness towards him because he still looked at him with disappointment in his eyes and he left him again, alone on top of a mountain with nothing but bleeding friends and gold that sits heavily in his pockets like the grief in his throat.
i love how john bares his teeth at that german guy in rdr yes hahaha snarl now boy >:)
u guys have got it all wrong morston songs (and just john marston songs in general) are every townes van zandt song and that’s it nothing else ever shut up
reblog with a spoiler for your wip with zero context. no context allowed.
do you know how demonic this is
i think we need to talk about john’s dead daughter more can we do that is it okay if we do that who wants to do that
i like to think that it was snowing on the day that dutch saved john from the noose. we gotta stop meeting like this. surrounded by snow and unforgiving cold. the red in their cheeks heightened. red rope burn circling john’s throat. pale death all around them.
I was so scared chapter five begun that I decided to replay rdr1
clocking in at the torturing john marston factory
