Oh, Arthur…Where to begin?

Arthur Morgan has a special place in my heart, even amongst my incredible pantheon of husbandos that I have.

In fact, there exists a smaller, more elite circle of blorbos from my fictions that I celebrate and adore with the highest regard; about 4-5 characters that I regularly visit. What’s special about them all is that, despite my superfluous levels of taste, they are characters that I could actually see myself being with if they were real (and had any interest in a loser like me).

Arthur Morgan from RDR2 is among that elite group of husbandos. I read for him regularly! His character is the most consistently written across a plethora of authors that I follow, to the point where I cannot even choose a singular favorite author. He is written almost identically in every single piece of (high honor) fanfic. It’s absolutely amazing how this is able to happen. I still don’t understand why this has come about, but I like to think it’s because Rockstar put a lot of love into Arthur’s character. Everyone loves Arthur; from the men, to the femmes, to the thems. Whenever people talk about their experience playing the game, they always refer to Arthur as “my Arthur”, never just Arthur. They all form an intimate connection with him.

He’s a sad, self deprecating cowboy who is complexly written. He can be kind, he can be a ruthless killer, but he’s introspective, and thoughtful. He records everything in his diary (he’s just a girl…). Arthur’s written both in canon and in fiction as a gentleman who respects people who are worthy of it, and especially in his usual high honor form, he’s a gentle giant–heart of gold, dumb of ass.

For these reasons, I think I would very much get along with Arthur. There aren’t many characters whom I could see myself in an actual relationship with, but I feel Arthur would actually tolerate my strangeness best, in addition to him being such a wonderful guy. I think Arthur honestly might be my dream guy. Someone I can take care of and love with all my heart, but also someone who can return that level of devotion and affection. If Arthur Morgan were real, I would propose in a heartbeat!! I love you Artur!!!!! ♡♡♡♡♡

One fun thing about Arthur is that you have two flavors of him that you can experience. A light and sweet experience via his high honor self, which most fanfics adhere to; and a intense, dark read through his lower honor iteration. Do you think Arthur could be a bit rougher during your…riding sessions...? Well. Just read some Low Honor Arthur! It’s technically not out of character…isn’t that fun? ♡

I enjoy both because I’m bisexual like that. But, High Honor Arthur and his gentle sweetness always gets me squirming and squeeing. It’s nice to imagine being treated so gently…ahh…to have Arthur’s strong arms around me as I sleep nicely on his chest……..

Most of his fics are consistently sweet and spicy, so there isn’t MUCH angst but I’m okay with that because Arthur..has had a hard life…It’s nice to see him get the love he very much deserves! I honestly have no critique, but this is also because I’m super biased.

I could go on about this guy forever…but I’ll spare you the rambling. Experience him for yourself!

So, if you’re into cowboys, a rootin’-tootin’ good time, and just want to be held, Arthur Morgan is right up your alley. COWBOY LOVE!!
