This is really awesome! I like so much here. One question: is “Obsessed” supposed to mean a character decided they’re angry? Or is it just Smitten, but implying it’s less healthy? I know you say love and hate are two sides of the same coin, but I’m not sure how I’d roleplay it. The Scoundrel for instance feels very different if they’re constantly deciding “I hate you” instead of deciding “I’m in love with you”.

Oh, good question! I was personally thinking of it as just shifting the tone a bit—it certainly can and does still encompass being “smitten,” but in changing the move name I wanted to imply that it could also include, say, being Cady Heron and becoming obsessed with Regina George in an all-consuming way, or stuff that edges more into gothic romance. Flat-out hate isn’t what it’s getting at, exactly, but the kind of enmity that might turn into an Adora and Catra situation.
