Man, this chapter is literally lit.
I love how action and character development plot this arc is despite it being a silly house party arc.
With all the silly spy shenanigans, it's easy to forget that Twilight, Yor, and Yuri are products of a war that caused trauma on them, and by now they're slowly learning to let go of the "crutches" they had to get through life.
(Well, except Twilight who is still in denial phase).
And at this point Chloe is the most well adjusted person in this crew (and I'm glad she's here)
I love how the TV Station drama did an impact on Yuri. With him now admitting that he doesn't hate Loid, I wonder how Endo will deliver the payload revelation.
But of course the cherry on top is this:
Endo is stirring the TwiYor pot. (I can see that shoujo filter on Loid loool)
favorite thing about tumblr is having a fandom in law. no i haven't watched this show and i'm not planning to. but my moot is having fun!! look how much they love it!!! i'm supportive from the sidelines!
nothing is lost. you have your bisexual mutuals.

@duckseamail DUDE I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS THE OTHER DAY
😂😂😂 great minds think alike?
The Twiyor goodness continues 🥲
First thought that came into my head after finishing this chapter was that the latter part had some parallels to the end of the mole hunt arc; in both cases, Loid not only comes home exhausted from a mission, but his interactions with Yor - that is, him being forced to acknowledge his feelings about her, ends up pushing him to his limits.
In the mole hunt arc, he realizes that he refused to shoot Yuri because it would make Yor sad. While he doesn't explicitly say this, it's obvious that he considers his actions of not shooting Yuri when it was important for his mission, a weakness.
In this chapter, he realizes his confusion about how he truly feels about Yor. Again, he doesn't explicitly say it because, well, that's just how he is, but it's clear he's conflicted about her role in his mission, and ultimately, his own feelings.
Then of course, we have Yor telling Loid that she's happiest when she's able to help him. In the mole hunt arc, she expressed this by doing the chores and such the next day so he could rest, while in this chapter, she helped support him while they walked back home.
It's interesting how Loid seems a bit less open to acknowledging his feelings in this chapter than in the mole hunt arc. While in the latter, he at least admitted to himself that he has a weakness, but in this chapter, as soon as he starts debating about whether Yor is a help or a hindrance to his mission, he shifts the blame for everything onto himself, saying that he wasn't perfect enough, etc (exactly what Yor doesn't want him to be).
If we look back at everything that happened in this arc, namely, him putting himself in danger to protect Yor and also telling the SSS officer that he loves her (without any deception apparently), such uncomfortable feelings must have been a lot for his emotional constipation to deal with. So at this point, when he's on the verge of collapsing, it was easiest for him to default to everything going wrong because of his incompetence as a spy rather than to truly confront his feelings about Yor. But of course, that can of worms is fully open now, so I'm sure he'll have to reflect on it again one way or another...something for him to think about while in the hospital after this 😅
Speaking of which, we had two character deaths in this chapter. Tragic.
(Yuri lost his teeth again too, lol. He really should have a dentist look into that condition)
There were some good tidbits in the Japanese version of this chapter. Firstly was Chloe calling Yor "onee-san." While it's a term used for your older sister (Yuri calls Yor a more casual version, "nee-san") it can also be used to address a young woman, kind of like "miss." I'm glad that Chloe seems to like Yor after their first meeting!
The word that Yor uses when she tells Yuri she wants to "cuddle" with Loid is "icha icha," the same word that Anya always uses when the says "Papa and Mama are flirting" 😂 It means a variety of things in this context - "necking, flirting, cuddling, etc."
Yor dodging the darts without even having to think about it, she's just like 😑 And I knew it wouldn't feel like more than a mosquito bite to her!
I really thought Yuri was gonna get shot by Loid here. But in the end, it was Yor who took him down!
Speaking of Yuri, I like that he kept his development from the previous chapters and didn't revert back to hating Loid again.
I want to say that this is officially the end of the TV station/house party arc or whatever we want to call it, but I've been wrong about that for a few weeks, so who knows! I don't think we'll actually see Loid going to the hospital like Martha said, and him collapsing was just an unserious gag to end the arc with. But who knows? Maybe we'll get a short mission or something with Loid having another flashback in the hospital? Regardless, the next new chapter isn't until July 5th. Typically Endo doesn't take breaks between arcs unless something unexpected happens, so that makes it more likely we'll be starting a new arc next time.
Anyway, quite a lot happened in this arc that will affect the future of the series: Loid saying that he loves Yor (speaking the truth, if we're supposed to believe the SSS officer's assessment), Yor getting more comfortable being physically intimate with Loid, Yuri witnessing Loid's love for Yor firsthand, Chloe and other SSS people meeting Loid and Yor...it will certainly be interesting to see where all this goes!
motherfuckers will buy Loid’s “it’s just for the mission” propaganda meanwhile I’m rewatching season 1 and it’s episode FIVE and just in this ONE episode this man rented out an entire castle, borrowed a plane, racked up who knows how much money and called all the spies in the nation just cause his kid wanted to play pretend. He’s had her for like a week.
I am begging people to understand that reproductive rights is as much the right to become and remain pregnant as it is to terminate a pregnancy.
Encouraging all people capable of being pregnant to get their tubes tied or get a hysterectomy isn’t the solution you think it is.
Most people who get abortions do so because they want to be able to get pregnant in the future.
Back-alley abortions often leave people unable to become pregnant again, even if they want to. Legal, safe abortion ensures that a person can terminate a pregnancy while still retaining the option and ability to become pregnant again.
PoC, disabled people, and trans and intersex people have historically been barred from the right to get pregnant and reproduce. These marginalized groups have faced sterilization and maternal mortality for a long time.
If you think reproductive justice is only about the right to *not* be pregnant, you are woefully misinformed.
Reproductive justice means people should be able to control their own bodies, whether it means ending or preventing a pregnancy, or becoming pregnant and remaining pregnant.
Reproductive justice means that healthcare providers should and must address the barriers and dangers PoC, disabled people, and trans and intersex people face when it comes to obstetrics and gynecology.
Reproductive justice means lowering the maternal mortality rate for black people in America.
Reproductive justice means not sterilizing disabled people and providing safe options for disabled people who want to become pregnant.
Reproductive justice means acknowledging that trans people may want to become pregnant and not mandating they be sterilized in order to legally transition.
Reproductive justice means not sterilizing intersex babies and children in the attempt to make them fit into a dyadic, binary sex.
Reproductive justice is not just about abortions.

You are loved.
ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs
after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?
i would settle for melatonin gummies but well. knock yourself out
Eva Stratt who is the most powerful woman in the world and has a powerpoint ready the second she needs to explain project hail mary. and the title page is "what is project hail mary". exactly like you would do for a classroom presentation. no one is doing it like her

"Mr. Buzz"
A Spy x Family Damian Meta-Analysis Post on Growth and Maturity
First, it's important to understand that even though he says he's happy about his new classes without Anya, Damian hates change. He defaults to what is familiar and safe.
Anya, on the other hand, easily adapts and improvises in new situations with confidence. I say from personal experience that little boys love to play with little girls that have this type of personality. In PreK - 1st grade, both my daughters had a little cult following of boys...
During recess, both of them got kissed by boys 😂 (it was innocent & was addressed) and both got little marriage proposals from boys. This is the age where kids begin to learn how to handle all sorts of feelings. My son kissed a little girl classmate at recess in Kindergarten! 🤭
My point is, this isn't abnormal, and it's a healthy part of growing up. But for kids like Damian, it's scary because it's unfamiliar. So he fights these new, intrusive thoughts and feelings. They're a threat to his feeling of safety. He doesn't have the tools yet to process them.
Oh boy. Aside from Ewen—and even that sparked jealousy—he’s never seen boys show interest in Anya. This is new. She’s glowing, but not for the reason he assumes. It hits like a freight train. Denial won’t save him if he admits the truth, and it is the only coping strategy he knows.
Enter Becky, our high emo IQ diabolical pot-stirrer. Here for the drama. She makes a bad situation worse and throws Damian into a panic. And what's Damian's biggest fear? Being forgotten. He has a terrifying vision of losing Anya forever, and he's shook.
Becky, you play dirty.
Cue the nightmares, poor guy! I love that he's clad in a Stella shield and Eden's logo circlet. He sees this as a threat to his success, and the Goliath of jealousy and envy ultimately defeats him, because he cannot deny his true feelings - something we all have to learn as we mature.
Finally, Damian admits to himself that his feelings are legitimate and starts thinking on it. His buddies notice him struggling and offer support but he's not ready to fully share his realization just yet. Cue the brilliant "So I have this friend" idea😂We've all done it!
Damian's feels are big. Bigger than most kids. So when his buddies see how much this is affecting him, it has unintended consequences for them, too. Now nobody can sleep😭The fear of being forgotten is very real & scary, especially for kids this age. Time for a new strategy!
I love Mr. Green. I love that the boys trust him enough to ask him for help. He suggests that new and unfamiliar feelings must be understood, acknowledged, and accepted for what they are before we can process them in a healthy way. Then and only then can the paradigm shift. Brilliant.
As a master teacher, he then gives them their first new tool for their tool belt. The boys take the info back to Damian and adorably mistake the rare ability to "paradigm shift" for a "paradise fist" and Damian is naturally drawn to the idea that he can take control of his own thoughts.
Damian rarely lies, but he makes up a silly distant "friend" and tells Ewen and Emile what they need to hear: they are his only true friends and they're dear to him😭and we get to witness a sweet moment with these three boys that care for each other so much. Be still my heart!
Cue the best Damian scene in the manga to date. He has a heart of gold. With the proper tools in his belt, this boy can change the world. We finally see him embracing the new - empowered, courageous, and willing to make peace with conflict - a huge "paradigm shift" for him!
This moment had me tearing up, tbh. It is not only a huge moment for Damian, but for the story. We have a Desmond who has an open heart; desiring connection and understanding before dismissal and judgment. He has a beautiful spirit. Man, I love this kid. Future leader of integrity.
This boy takes his tools seriously. He's a scholar, and his approach to his emotional learning is no different. He designs a little Paradise Fist (SO CUTE), symbolizing his new mindset paradigm shift. Becky makes fun of his nerdiness, but there's only one person's opinion he cares about.
The first test! Mr. Buzz appears. Anya and Damian notice each other and he braces for the worst but she is enthralled with his creation, gushes over it, ignoring the other boys.
My absolute fave is the little buzz falling off screen as he gets the reward of her attention just for being himself.
Damian and Anya don’t realize it yet, but they fit perfectly: imaginative, driven, bold, and hilariously nerdy. Becky may try to change Anya—but Damian will always love and appreciate her as she is. Soon, he’ll realize the key to Anya's heart is exactly the same.🩷💚 +100 for growth!
