π«π³ here to answer these. (ππ is still too shy to talk about her own relationship with Adachi.)
π€ Write about the first time you encountered your villain F/O.
He didn’t look like much when I met him. An overconfident city boy,s sent out into the boonies for making too much noise around the higher ups. Cute. A little obnoxious. Eager.
He reminded me of a kid, not in a way I hated, but in a way that weighed on my atrophied paternal instincts. I already had one kid I wasn’t taking good enough care of, and here I was, saddled with another as my partner.
I told myself I was going to try try not to get attached. Blew that one.
π€ Write about the time you and your villain F/O first admitted your care for one another.
It took ages and ages. Neither of us was an expressive man who talked about his feelings. Affection passed between us without comment for years. ‘Come over for dinner’. ‘You can borrow my jacket’. ‘Don’t give me that look’.
I don’t know when we admitted it. Maybe some night, laying in the dark next to each other, thinking about the twisted mess of our lives. Maybe we admitted it in the darkness, like it wasn’t real without the lights on.
Like we wouldn’t have to acknowledge it in the morning.
π Write about your villain F/O tending to your wounds.
Dojima hissed as Adachi wiped the cuts on his face down with a cotton ball swabbed in alcohol.
Adachi was smiling broadly, despite his partner’s bitter grumbling and sour face.
“Aw come on now, it’ll hurt more if it gets infected right?”
“I can do it myself you know,” Dojima protested. But he let Adachi keep at it.
β¦and, at the time of his death, he was one of the most hated people in the USA.
The FBI sent him a letter trying to convince him to commit suicide. Donβt let this revisionist bullshit slide. The things they say now about protests, kneeling, etc, are the same things they said about the sit-ins and marches.

Look at this vintage political cartoon. Reactions to MLK and BLM are near identical.
His own kids are telling yall not to fall for the bullshit
We are realizing more and more than antis have no concept of people who think and believe in a way other than the way they think and believe.
Antis seem to believe that there is only one category of people who think and believe in a way that they don’t, and that category is “weirdos and criminals, and weirdo and criminal are synonyms.”
