I think I’m over him and then I remember the pain in his voice as he says, “I gave you all I had.”

being a symbolism enjoyer should humble you because at the end of the day no matter how eloquently you articulate it youre essentially saying "i love it when things have meaning"

I absolutely love the symbolism of Arthur Morgan as both the deer and the coyote.
When he is high honor he is a prey, he is hunted more than he hunts, he is hurt more than he hurts others. He gives everything in life and even in death, as a deer, he continues to give, being an easy source of food.
When he is low honor he is a coyote, he continues to hunt, he continues to hurt others, but he is also hunted. He isn't all and powerful, he isn't the top of the food chain, people still get to him, he still gets hurt and he whimpers like a wounded dog.
The deer is symbolism of gentleness, of a kind hand and unconditional love, but may also be a sign that your heart has been hurt and needs tending.
A coyote is symbolism for the duality of nature, the good and the evil, a foot in each camp yet never fully either. They can be selfish and cunning, bringing chaos into this world, but it also brings wisdom and inteligence to those around it.
No I’m not thinking about little frail 14 year old Arthur Morgan scared for his life, yet cautiously following these two men who took him in and fed him.
No I’m not thinking about them teaching him how to read and write, but also how to fight and shoot.
No I’m not thinking about Arthur learning how to ride a horse for the first time on his young filly, Boadicea. Or him begging Dutch and Hosea to let him keep this feral dog who brought chaos and laughter to the camp.
No I’m not thinking about little Arthur Morgan getting scrapes and bruises while running around and being a delinquent and hiding his scrunched face and tears as Hosea tends to his many wounds.
No I’m not thinking about Arthur Morgan in his early twenties when he was introduced to this kid who reminds him of himself, with the wildest personality and sad backstory.
And how he eventually built a brotherly relationship with that kid, John. Someone he can boss around and protect, but call an idiot from time to time, especially since he acted like one sometimes.
No I’m not thinking about Arthur Morgan in his early twenties when he had a son, and then lost him and his son’s mother a few years later. And the grief that came from that.
No I’m not thinking about Arthur Morgan in his mid twenties meeting a Woman whom he was never destined to marry, even though he tried his best for her.
No I’m in fact NOT thinking about Arthur Morgan.
Thirty seconds on this thing would fix me
And some more RDR2 storyboard beat boards since I'm still inspired to draw these.
