I Can't With How Weak Arthur Looks In This Scene, Sliding Down The Wall, Wheezing, Going Completely Limp

people defending mary calling her a "master manipulator" sarcastically don't understand their dynamics with arthur at all i'm afraid

a person doesn't have to be a "master" in toxic behavior, people manipulating and hurting others are not always do that consciously and with clear intent. i do believe that mary manipulates arthur, tries to get on his emotions, bringing up their past, her dad and her dad's opinion on arthur - idk she clearly still holds some feelings for him and i'm sure that she doesn't know how to express her frustration, pain, fear for jamie and her dad better.

but that doesn't make her a good and innocent person and let's not forget her commentary about the girls in camp - i have A LOT of issues with that one. it was written in a letter, meaning that this jab at arthur's family was intentional. she had time to think her letter through, and still decided to insult people dear to her ex she supposedly still loves? misses? like ok go on i guess.

her constant remarks about how bad of a person he is, the "i'd have had you hanged a long time ago" line, that just doesn't sit right with me at all. she's a good character and plays an incredibly important role in the game and in arthur's history as a character, but trying to say that she's good and pure and did nothing wrong ever at all is just plain INCORRECT and i will die on this hill

arthur truly suffers more than jesus on the cross i love him

“is this character good or bad” “is this ship unproblematic or not” “is this arc deserving of redemption or not” girl…

“Ardently”

Another gazing-at-your-loved-one(s) art… oops, but so what! I love that xD Alternative title was “I think I’m falling in love with you” (thought by both).

Please, do not repost elsewhere.

a story is true, a story is untrue…

Scrapped the other design-

rdr2 tarot deck: swords done! more info:

- swords were about chapter 1-2. since i made minor arcana generally about what arthur/player goes through and which characters he meets, this is like a showcase for it. and all ace cards will act like intros to the chapters.

- i chose all characters according to the cards meanings but i wanted to show how arthur evolves with them as well, so as we finish chapter 2, swords are also ending with thomas downes :')

- next suit will be cups, chapter 3, water. all green and coral like rhodes and the characters we meet in it!
