rpanons | [D] Oo la la

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

anon has pretty much covered it, but there's this one thing I see a lot and it bugs me, so!

-just like with everyone else's shadows, you can't take what his says as the absolute, definitive truth. In particular, the part where he says he became a police officer just for the gun - that could have been a part of it, but then why he didn't he just... stay a regular police officer? Instead, he's reached the rank of detective by 27. That? Requires an unbelievable amount of work.

...which kind of leads into okay, he studies incredibly hard, works his butt off, finally reaches the rank of detective - when he fucks up (in his own estimation it was ~just a little mistake~ but it probably a lot bigger than that since we all know how adachi's estimation of himself is majorly skewed in his favor) and gets sent to the boonies. Years of work and effort, gone. Wasted. Just like that.

and so the chains that held his inner asshole more or less in place were thrown to the wind.

oh yeah and when it comes to playing his nice, public self, keep the stereotypical Nice Guy in mind, most importantly the part where they honestly believe some of their entitled, fucked up ideas are normal and not realize they shouldn't be shared with the class? He's far better in terms of acting than most, since a lot of his lines are only creepy/set off alarm bells in retrospect, but if you wanted to leave clues for other characters that something isn't quite right, that'd be a great way to do it.

...and this turned into a whole lot more than just one thing! hope it helps.

I didn't think about his ranking, but that's a good point. Detective's a big hurdle rank for police, and he reached it.

It does, thank you!
I always thought it was himself, not his shadow, when talking about why he became an officer. It being his shadow makes a lot more sense (though that means it still holds some semblance of truth. a reference to the power being a police officer/detective would give him?)

Yeah, probably! and also, I think, because police officer guarantees more excitement/less paperwork than the career choice of salaryman and the rank of detective comes with a sort of... prestige, and implied respect. And less bosses.
