Yor thinks - and acts! - on a lot of what Twilight has said to her throughout their relationship. It's one of the many lovely things in SxF - characters' words matter and reverberate through the series, lots of times many, many chapters down the line.

There's the "I truly admire that" moment from their first date in Chapter 2. I've written before about how Yor saw someone who may truly accept her for who she is, because he understood her at her core. And in the climax of the Cruise Arc, we see Yor's credo splashed out in all its sweaty, bloody glory. But it's the memory (and other memories too...) that helps her find clarity of purpose and vocabulary for her feelings.

There's also of course, the "You're strong" moment from their most disastrous (?) date (?), so far (?), in Chapter 35. It would turn out that Yor wasn't that drunk... or at least, she was sober enough to have plucked the most important words from Twilight to her. Look at her face. She treasured those words.

And not just Twilight's words. Anya's too. Her daughter's "A perfect 100 points!" and "I want to be with them forever!" were what moved her to become a mother to that girl several chapters down the road, and also the memory she reminded her husband of when he was feeling inadequate as a father, another several chapters later. And it worked, of course, because Twilight has her daughter's words chiselled into his heart since the moment Anya said them too...

It's also why these characters work so well. They respond to each other, and are changed by each other, and in doing so, also become more themselves. So. A family.

The Forger Flush (TM)

Bonus - Damian must be Extra Forger because he's Extra Flushed

Anya has just the most beautiful smile.

When Twilight realizes he's not just fighting for a world where children don't need to cry, but much more so, fighting for the life where he gets to see his daughter smile - that is when the dam will finally break.

Because he'd realize Anya smiles because of him, because of Yor and because of Bond. How can he possibly leave?

And let's be honest. Most of these are from his POV. He is getting there, slowly.

[shinybluebirdwizard-deactivated]

The two times Twilight *may* have noticed (?) he might be Feeling Things for his (pretend?) wife, his brain instantly went to ‘Yor could be a spy trying to trick me’

And. It reflects how he really can’t handle Normal Life and so defaulted to Spy Life which he knows he *can* handle. It is easier than interrogating his own feelings.

But the funnier thing is that he definitely thought someone out there believed Yor and her perfect wife-ness *could* have worked as a honey trap for him. Which suggests, yes, he knows he wants Yor and her perfect wife-ness. 😬

The three times Yor said 'there, there' ...

... and the one time Anya did

She is growing up and learning that even papa is vulnerable and needs love and it is adorable 🥰

We all know about the running gag with the famous designer chairs on the cover of SxF manga volumes. And how Volume 10 broke that gag, and broke our hearts.

It did, however, follow one tradition. The inside cover art has always mirrored the outside's, and since Volume 4, they've all shown all shown us the cover characters' real selves, not the one they project to the world. Yuri is a suave, have-everything-together man on the outside... and a completely unhinged person with murderous intent on the inside. Nightfall is a cool, collected woman on the outside... and a completely unhinged person with murderous intent on the inside. Huh.

In both, it's very clear that the unhinged person on the inside is the one honest about what they want - for Yuri, it's for his brother-in-law to die and/or divorce his sister, preferably both, in any order. For Fiona, it's for Twilight to not die but definitely get a divorce, and then to marry her, also in any order.

In both of these volumes, those inside illustrations are drawn explicitly as thought bubbles.

But even when they're not, they still play on the same duality. Damian is a tough, entitled little brat on the outside; he's a sweet, bashful little boy who just wants friends on the inside. Becky's a spoilt little madam who loves pink on the outside; she's a spoilt little madam who will run a pink tank over you on the inside. (Let's be honest, Becky is the only one remotely living as her true self in this series.)

And so... on the inside cover art being about who people really are, reflecting what people really want. Well. I leave you with this:

[forged-in-briar]

My favorite thing about the new ending is that Yuri and Fiona noticeably dampen the light within the Forger family home. They remind Yor and Loid of their outside obligations, and that this relationship isn't entirely "real." They both are also actively trying to sabotage Yor and Loid's relationship, with Yuri trying to prove Loid isn't good enough for his sister, and Fiona trying to argue that Yor is unfit to help her mentor on his mission. These two prioritize their own feelings, and remind our favorite pretend couple that none of it is real.

Meanwhile, every other scene after this is full of warmth and light, even with Frankie!

He doesn't dampen the light because he treats them like they're a real family, even if he's a reminder to Loid of his true mission. But without these outside reminders, their family is full of light.

At least while they're together. But when they're apart, it's back to darkness.

I had to post the entire speech I couldn't help but feel sorry for this girl.

She would give everything for this nightmare to end and everyone thinks she's having the time of her life.

[gameguy20100]

Another similarity between her and Adrien.

Everyone thinks being a famous model is great but he hates it and just wants to be a normal teenager.

"I understand you."

She really does.

WHOA, HOLD UP, WHAT?!

[wandering-scarecrow]

Yeah, Oak was the kid in the Celebi movie.

[yay855]

Meaning that he also probably had more pokemon available when Ash first started his journey, but he deliberately tricked Ash into accepting a rowdy and untamed pikachu because that was Ash’s partner back during their adventure together.

Samuel Oak

[feanor-the-dragon]

That means his verbal savagery toward Ash early on was friendship, which puts a whole different spin on it.

[baconandawesome]

*Ash rushes in, dead last among the kids of Pallet Town*: Professor Oak! Is it too late for me to get a Pokémon?!

Samuel Oak, Anticipating this moment for decades and saving a very special Pikachu from the local breeding program for just this occasion and trying very hard not to laugh: Oh boy, we’ll see what we can do…

The captions are also really cute, although they mostly describe what’s in each photo:

Bulbasaur: Somehow, nomming on my clothes… has become a weird habit of theirs.

Venusaur: That hasn’t changed now that they’ve grown, but they’re very gentle.

Charmander: It’s my first attempt, but I made a plushie so that he wouldn’t get lonely.

Charizard: That plushie seems to be his favorite even now.

Squirtle: Squirtle’s a bit timid and hides behind me at the smallest things.

Blastoise: Looks like they’re scared of the first Pichu they’ve seen. You’re not really hiding!
