they plague my mind like the infectious disease they are, they deserve nothing but a happy ending

what made him think this was okay?? what was the need?? and can he please do more of it

The visceral rage that just filled my body

Yall know the mission "My Last Boy"? Yeah the one where Dutch sends a bunch of the native Americans to their deaths, the one where Arthur leads Dutch to the money, the one where Arthur gets steam blown in the face, where Dutch leaves him and he would have died if it wasn't for Eagle Flies? Yeah that one. Arthur isn't paid anything for that mission.

Instead we are given a little message saying "the other half is split between the gang members who worked the job" meaning Dutch does not think Arthur contributed in that mission.He killed all those folk, he fought, he almost died and he showed Dutch the location of the money, yet he didn't get anything because he didn't work it apparently.

Dear Lord, how they hurt me

Hosea, a man who’s willing to face and accept the parts within himself and the realities of the life he’s lived vs Dutch, a man who’s clawing and fighting and resisting; who’s refusing to see the truth even when it’s right in front of him.

Hosea, a man romanticizing the past vs Dutch, a man romanticizing the future.

And their son Arthur— stuck between them in the present, trying to figure out his place in things.
