Hi! I've noticed you've been doing some stuff on the gang being parents, and I kinda wondered what Javier would be like, as a father to m!reader? I've never seen anyone write about him like that, so... very curious.
I don't know if I'd want to be the son of any of the men in the gang tbh. Shivers. Javier's like, maybe number 3 or 4 on a list of almost acceptable parenting.
It's funny to me y'all probably ask for these as comfort reads or something, and I'm over here treating them as fun psychological exercises.
The best part of Javier being your father is that regardless of how old you are, he'll kill for you. Kill is a rather pleasant word for what he'll do, depending on the situation. He trusts you to take care of yourself — after all, he's the one who taught you how — but he's been forced to sacrifice too much family in his life.
Javier insists that he be responsible for you at every level. At times, it's regardless of how well-equipped he is to do so. Now and then, he's had to pass a masterclass onto someone else in the gang, but he's a bit strict on what and how you're taught. He has many strongly held beliefs that he intends to instill in you.
Javier needs to learn that he does not have to agree with his son on everything, nor vice versa. He's going to love you regardless, but you might end up in a strangely tense dynamic where it's for the best if you don't start certain discussions. Father first, best friend occasionally.
That said, he thinks it's important to make memories with you. You're one of the few people to see the unserious side of him. And while it might not mean much to you until you're older, it means a lot to him to do the gentler things he wasn't allowed as a boy— things that were considered too feminine, too queer.
Javier's teaching you Spanish and English. If you ever flubbed a word or made up a hybrid while learning to speak, that's the word now. Honestly, his ability to compartmentalize language-related things was totally fried while he was teaching you to talk. Accidentally calling Boaz his "horsie" as a grown adult man was embarrassing for him and Arthur needs to stop bringing it up.
The grace Javier desires from his comrades shall not be turned on you. Do you mumble or stutter? You're cooked. Any quirks at all? Javier's bullying knows no end. Don't like bugs? He'll throw them at you. Throw them. It'll take multiple years to get him to stop if any of it upsets you, too. He might be undoing a little generational trauma, but he's gotta leave some work for you to do when you finally give him the grandkids he wants.
Because he does want grandkids, despite it all. Yes, he's very aggravating about it once you hit the "right" age. Javier's a product of how he was raised, and the gang doesn't fulfill all of his familial dreams. Having a kid, despite thinking he'd never grow into an adult himself, re-sparked a lot of wishes he thought had died long ago.
nothing will happen here, just Javier stacking bottles and mugs for exactly one minute and one second.
Probably my new favorite rdr2 bug
close-up of his work:
Went ahead and did some short silly beat board things of "Disney villain Dutch sings villain song" since that comment by @forthegothicheroine got me inspired haha
Yeah yeah anyways, he is absolutely touch starved. You’ll never convince me otherwise.
I need to hear him whimper.
Javier Escuella HC's (SFW)
A/N: This has bonus modern!au hc's at the end!
⋅˚₊‧ ୨🐇୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅
ˋ°•*⁀➷ Personality:
Starting this off with a fun fact: most outlaws/cowboys in the Wild West Era were closeted queer people/POC/etc. Because of this, I feel like ALMOST everyone in camp would be accepting of gay people/disabled people/etc. It's my PERSONAL hc/belief. This does NOT mean you have to agree with it xx
Because of his past in Mexico as a revolutionary, he has a very strong sense of justice.
He stands by his morals/beliefs firmly. This will lead to him getting into arguments/debates with camp members (Micah/Bill mainly) quite often.
Despite English not being his first language, he is very well spoken and eloquent when he speaks it.
If someone does him a favor, he's the type of person to feel indebted to that person. It doesn't matter if they say "no worries" or "don't worry about it". He will worry about it. He WILL repay you.
BUT! At the same time...he doesn't like it when people do favors for him. He grew up very independent and isn't used to things like that. And, especially being an outlaw, he's always suspicious of charitable acts.
He doesn't have anger issues, but when he gets angry...he gets ANGRY.
Just because he's an outlaw doesn't mean he can't take care of himself. He bathes every other day (when possible). Whether he goes into a town to bathe, whether it's simply in a river, he WILL bathe as often as possible. He hates feeling dirty.
When he gets frustrated he'll start cursing/rambling in Spanish.
In my opinion, he's a huge supporter of activism (though, I feel like most of the camp members are).
He's super romantic, but can also be distant at times. Don't blame him, though. He tries his best. He's just scared/nervous.
Even though he doesn't sound harmless, he is VERY dangerous. He isn't a stranger to killing someone.
ˋ°•*⁀➷ Hobbies:
Obviously, one of his favorite hobbies is fishing. He journals/documents every type of fish he finds and then compares his findings to a fishing book he has.
Makes his own fishing lures/hooks/bait.
Secretly stargazes when he has guard duty at night. Sometimes he'll get so focused on the sky that he loses balance and falls back on the ground.
Yes, he can speak English pretty well, but that doesn't mean he's completely fluent in it. So, he practices pronunciation of some words every now and then. Not really a hobby, but still something he does in his free time.
Reads penny dreadfuls every once in a while. Usually it's right before he's about to go to bed.
Singing/playing guitar is another one of his favorite hobbies. Especially in his native tongue. It reminds him of home and comforts him. Since he knows it's dangerous for him to go back, at least he can keep a part of his home with him.
He absolutely loves playing Five Finger Fillet. And he's an absolute GOD at it. His hand moves so fast that it's mind boggling.
If he's in a relationship with you/interested in you...he'll show off his skills to try and impress you...
ˋ°•*⁀➷ Random:
He reminds me of a coyote a lot. His mannerisms/facial structure/etc. Am I the only one? Anyways, they are his favorite animal. Whenever he sees one in the wild, he stops whatever he's doing and just stares at it. Mesmerized.
Loves the smell of the fresh air in the morning/firewood/oranges/and vanilla.
He won't really admit it, but he loves bugs. Sometimes, a camp member will catch him looking through the grass/bushes/dirt for them. He documents them just like he documents fish.
He loves moths/praying mantises a lot. His favorites are the Rosy Maple Moth and Orchid Mantis.
The reason he loves moths/mantises/bugs so much is because he didn't see as many in Mexico. They fascinate him.
ˋ°•*⁀➷ Random Things He'd Say/Do:
(Finds a ladybug on branch of a tree) "¡Oye! These are good luck, aren't they?"
(Robbing a stagecoach with some other members of the gang.) "Easy there, chico rico. Give us all you've got—yeah?—and you get to live. Sounds like a pretty good deal, eh?"
(Reeling in a very large fish) "¡Mierda! Fucker's got some fight in him!"
(Micah has pissed off Javier by calling him a slur (no one is surprised)) "¿Con quién carajo te crees que estás hablando? ¿Eh? ¡Te destriparé como a un pez y te daré de comer a Caín! ¡Maldito cabrón! ¡Vete a la mierda! ¡Ratita sucia!"
ˋ°•*⁀➷ Random Modern!AU HC's:
He'd DEFINITELY be a metal head with some punk thrown in there.
Dyed his bangs red once.
Also dyed deep purple streaks into his hair as well. He really liked them and does it again every once in a while.
Works as a commercial fisherman and sells his catch at farmers markets sometimes.
Huge gamer. Specifically, he's obsessed with survival horror games. He would have an entire gaming PC set up.
The type of guy to bully kids in COD lobbies but then IMMEDIATELY say "Sorry. I know you're like a fetus or something."
Smokes cigarettes, but is also a huge pothead. This man is an entire Sublime album.
I fully believe he would have snake bite piercings (with rings instead of studs). He'd also have a right eyebrow piercing and both of his ears pierced.
He got a Halo Of The Sun tattoo on his chest when he was really drunk, but he absolutely loves it. He doesn't regret it at all. (It's a little smaller than the size of his palm)
yuri…….oh I love yuri
Finally played and finished Red Dead Redemption 2. What the fuck.
Mouthwashing if the Devs ran out of money to finish the game
(based off the ending of Blood Debts meme)
I like what your mind does
Modern RDR2 AU where the gang is a bunch of cybercriminal hackers recruited by Hosea who was their IT instructor and Dutch the dean of their school who was forced to resign due to accusations of an affair with him becoming too much for him to handle
indulgent de-stressor piece during finals week. dk how I feel abt the final product but it was fun to work on at least
No safety. No food. No aid. No water. No healthcare. No education. Is this what it means to live? Is this what world accept as life?
If a group of animals were trapped, starved, and cut off from the world like this, people would be outraged. But because it's us—human beings—somehow, the world looks away.
These are unbearable days. Everything feels heavy. Each hour presses on my chest like I’m being suffocated.
My family needs urgent help.
Basic survival has become nearly impossible. Bread—just bread—now costs over $25 a day to make.
We are not asking for luxury. We are begging for life.
Please, if you’re reading this: help. Reblog this post. Talk about us. Donate if you can. Even a small act can mean everything right now.

Time will pass and you'll forget everything that happened
With you and me, with you and me…
No, I'm not waiting for you, but know that I loved
For the last time
For the last time… 💔
This is crazy man

I’ll be honest, I never heard of Epic The Musical before this. But the moment I found out it was going to involve Jimmy getting axed by Anya, I was in.
Bonus Anya Axing Jimmy a question:
