I think in the end red dead is about love.

Arthur's love for Dutch kept him blieving a bit too long, his love for the camp kept him working despite being tired, his love for John and Abigail helped them escape and give his life in return.

John's love for his son and wife that made him flip his life around not just once but twice, his love for Arthur whom he priorly struggled with, his love for his family that made him kill old friends for their safety.

Abigail's love for John that made her believe he could change, her love for him and her son causing her to leave for both their safeties.

Hosea's love for Abigail making him prepare her for the worst already in chapter two, his love for Arthur trying to make him see Dutch's fault before it was too late, and his love for Dutch making him try to keep him from running off the rails.

All those small moments of love, I think that is what it is about

Oh… That’s why.

Hosea sleeping in the dirt should be a crime

when i see armand sink his fangs into daniel i will fall to the floor like an elderly victorian lady who’s just seen ankle

I absolutely love stranger quests bc wdym the gang is on the verge of collapse, being chased by pinkertons, their found family is dying and falling apart, and then there's Arthur is on the other side of the country chasing a lion and recreating frankenstein.

for april fools this big disco elysium youtuber just pulled a fucking King-ass move and instead of a prank leaked everything about the cancelled version of Disco Elysium's sequel

like the version they were thinking on before the implosion

IT WAS GONNA BE ABOUT CUNO

(copied from a message a friend sent me. i thought you'd enjoy this)

hey i haven't watched the full thing but this is fuckin insane. i love this and hate this and I'm gonna rip my hair out and draw fanart about this probably. thanks for sending this.

EDIT 1: now I've watched the whole thing and holy fuck is it fascinating. fascinating and heartbreaking that regardless of it's authenticity it's not real. i was particularly and especially enthralled by the art of new characters and the hints of what would've potentially happened

EDIT 2: video got taken down a long while ago. not surprising. quite sure a good few people saved it so if you haven't seen it so i suggest seeking it out via having someone who saved it dm/pm you

Daniel Molloy has never been more relatable than when he visibly has the slow-sinking realization "Oh no, this man is about to forgive his boyfriend for all of it"
