#roseco

HELLO!!

Glad I have the reputation to be part of the nicorose/roseco ceos let's goo!!

As to how I feel.

Oh boy.

Well I'd say both heartbroken and satisfied.

Personally I've seen this type of fallout coming for awhile I was just curious as to how they would address it. We knew Rose was hurt by Nico's actions. More specifically the turpentine fiasco because it truly was a betrayal to her.

But we didn't know just how much she valued their time together until now! Rose is not the best at externalising emotions, and that's ok it's just the kinda person she is, you can't decern her feelings on something very easily. But she is someone who feels things very deeply, which makes for an interesting character, she's hurt confused and anxious about the killing game but she comes off as nonchalant and relaxed. A big part of this is due to her narcolepsy but that's a convo for another day.

Anyway I'm pleasantly surprised by how much it's revealed Rose cared for Nico. She even considered them a friend, she enjoyed their time together painting a whole lot. While it might seem small, for Rose, who has said that days blend together in her mind and everything feels like a big blob of disjointed time, the painting class must have been a stand out moment in the fogginess of what's happening to them all.

Also let's not forget Rose gave Nico her paintings (the ones of Min and Xander that she covered up with black paint).

To know she valued them so much is very sweet... Unfortunately it seems Nico didn't exactly reciprocate the feeling.

Nico doesn't trust anyone here. While Rose clearly trusted them enough to feel betrayed by their actions.

However it is interesting to point out this interaction:

Nico didn't say anything here so we can't really assume they don't care for Rose at all. Just that they don't trust her.

I think Nico did come around to care about her while they were hanging out together but the murder plan took priority. They forced themselves to not get too attached to the idea of a friendship between them because, if they were successful, Rose would've died anyway, so it would have been unnecessary pain to care for her when they knew what they were doing.

I'm very curious to see how this relationship moves forward, I suspect Nico doesn't completely grasp just how much they've hurt Rose, I also think they've formed an attachment to her regardless of how much they tried not to before committing the murder. So I think moving forward they will remain fairly friendly (for Nico standards) with her. I'm curious to see how Rose will approach this moving forward, I think she might just not want anything to do with em, but we will see.

So yeah those are my thoughts on them both so far ^^

Rose being sleepy and a lot slower with it actually makes things so much better, she has teased them a lot about all the noises they keep letting out.

They legitimately just don’t know how to react to it at all, and just kinda awkwardly deadpan while their blush creeps up their face

Rose loves to mess around and draw them as a cat-person with all the features which they find pretty embarrassing

So sweet! This is really enjoyable-- I love the idea of dom rose, taking pleasure in being able to have someone on her own terms.
