for the anon who asked about chapter 5, i’m still in the thick of it! i’ll hold on to your ask for when i’m finished tho
#2 fav breeds: thoroughbreds! long legs and clean lines and they’re quick on their feet. plus arthur’s bigboy status makes everything but the heavier war + work breeds look small, lmao.
#4 hair: answered
#9 High or low honor? a few false starts and low turns but i’m in chap 5 now and he’s practically a saint.
right parted fade, pomade on occasion
fav ost: i don’t know if this means individual songs or bgm but that eerie whistled refrain in roanoke Gets Me

oh shit ok. the lookbook!:
my arthur is a man of practicalities and he dresses for dirty work! jeans and saddle jeans and ranch pants tucked into roper boots with sensible spurs, loose open necked everyday shirts and rolled cuffs if the weather’s good, dun scout jacket, hat and rifle gloves when it aint. all season neckerchief appearing more frequently as the story wears on; he prefers his old hat but has been known to admire a big valley silhouette. his hair is mostly shortish worn in a right parted fade. when making an impression he does take some pains with the pomade, but that’s less often now.
