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.

i think you have to keep in mind that even though he was possessed, he did want to destroy the entire world himself at one time. adachi's a strange sort of balance where you have to realize at one point he really does want to do all the evil he attempts to do, but is unable to foresee all the consequences that can come from those. he's very impulsive, and when he comes to inaba he's hit a very low point in his life. to bring up an earlier point of how he worked his ass off to make detective, not only that but if what i've seen of the golden's translation, adachi's hit a low point in both his personal and professional lives just prior to coming to inaba, which could very well be a deciding factor in what made him go through with all that he did and want to do it. when he comes to inaba, he's already given up on having the life he's always wanted and thinks himself entitled to have. it's the driving force behind his ressentiment (imo he's a better fit for captain ressentiment than yosuke but then again they do have that in common) and it's why when the investigation team starts to hon in on him he jumps into the tv - "as if i'd walk into a death trap like that" - with everything he has. he's given up on life completely at that point, when before he hadn't quite made up his mind.

back to his impulses: he went from approaching yamano to accidentally throwing her into the tv and just running with it. i don't know about you, but i can't think of all that many people who'd just be cool with discovering they have supernatural tv world portal powers. not only that but he threw another human being inside, and he's just like oh hey that's cool. he essentially wings it the entire time, doing whatever he pleases because he can. and that brings me to my next point: he doesn't realize what he does until after the fact. a good example of that would be when he discovers yamano's body. and yeah, he definitely didn't expect it, so the shock overwhelms him and he's gotta run off and puke.

another example would be with nanako, and to give you my own thoughts on the dojima situation, there is a bit of hinting that he does feel bad for the situation he puts her and her father through. although i don't think it entirely hits him until dojima orders the stretcher for him and he learns about it, there are other moments like when dojima mentions taking her out of the hospital, adachi's like "HEYYY THAT'S NOT SUCH A GOOD IDEA because of the fog and all" that go to show you that there is a part of him that cares for the dojima family. because really, he didn't have to mention that, and even though it's consistent with his "public self", that public self is still an instinctive part of who he is as well. he's the only one in the town who knows 100% for a fact that the fog is dangerous, even the investigation team isn't sure of it.

to help with the public vs private self, i like to think about the theme of rise's shadow and how she had to come to terms with risette being a part of herself. "there is no real me." adachi's the same way, just he's not a young idol whose public self has that much public reception. his private self is as much a part of himself as his public self, and have i mentioned i really like using that terminology? because i do. it's a really good way to talk about the two most apparent sides of adachi.

and post end-game is very unclear on a lot of things, but personally i like it that way.

edit: I WANTED TO ADD SOME CLARIFICATION TO THE NANAKO THING and add that i'm p sure nanako was an accident but that's just a personal headcanon of mine that i might've borrowed from another adachi player so that's some of the backstory behind what i was getting at and i'm going to stop talking now

Thanks for all your input! If you don't mind me asking, where is it you play? Wouldn't mind keeping an eye on you, you seem to have his character down well ~~and I'd like a chance to play against a good an active Adachi as much as i'd like to play him myself.~~
