#when i first played wayhaven i really didnt like playing a detective w a combat focus bc like. acab lel #like i know wayhaven is an uncomplicated fantasy world where cops are actually good public servants keeping people safe #but it felt v yucky to have a detective whose actual skillset was violence. #that's not what i'm talking abt here really. but deciding rosanna has a combat focus was sort of recontextualizing what it could mean. #bc her combat focus is really more of a self defense focus. because. shes traumatized and paranoid babey!! #but ok what im THINKING about is. how adam v much appreciates in game that she can defend herself. #and i wonder. like if it would ever click for him Why she's like that. #that failure to protect herself from whatever threat she's facing doesn't mean certain death 100% of the time because #she has people who care about her and will help her. that she's not alone on a raft in the middle of the ocean. #it isn't sink or swim and she treats everything like it is. if she doesn't protect herself no one will. no one will come for her. #no one will wonder what ever happened to her or reach out. #not all of this is relevant. what's relevant is that rosanna and adam are similar people beneath the veneer. #like he's a jackass and she's very friendly and funny and charming. you glance at them and think they're an odd couple. #but under it they both kind of suffer under a dire need to be perfect Or Else. #adam: one wrong call or bad decision and people you care about will die #rosanna: one misstep or bad decision and YOU will die. and this was the case even before her special blood. it's just gotten worse since. #they're different! but they recognize each other in a funhouse mirror reflection sort of way. #so anyway. i wonder if he would ever notice. if he'd ever worry. if he'd ever look at her and realize #she knows a dozen ways to incapacitate a man because if she doesn't get herself out she isn't getting out. no one is coming for her. #AND I WONDER IF HE WOULD RECOGNIZE SOMETHING OF HIS OWN CLOWN ASS IN THAT WORRY #this isnt articulate im sorry it is 1am and i am sleepy #carly.txt #carly's ocs #oc: rosanna
