The Fiona Paradox

Having read this far into the Spy x Family manga, I'm starting to think that maybe Fiona doesn't really want to be with Twilight? Or maybe she likes the yearning of wanting to be with Twilight, but any time she gets close to the reality of it happening, she goes into Internal Panic Mode™, as evidenced by these scenes:

This makes me think that she's in love with the idea of being with Twilight, but has a meltdown every time it comes close to the real thing.

I also find it ironic that even though Fiona knows about the spy identity behind the Loid Forger persona, she has never been able to access the deeper parts of him, namely [Redacted].

While Fiona was trained under Twilight and has also seen several of his other personas, she places him on so high of a pedestal that she doesn't know much of the "real" him at all. Her "romantic feelings" are more like blind worship than true affection.

Meanwhile, Fiona has witnessed Twilight showing real emotion in playing the role of Loid Forger the Family Man™, something she has never seen in him before:

Moreover, even though Fiona has never seen any part of [Redacted], Yor has. The one time we see Twilight/Loid sharing a part of his past as [Redacted] was to Yor after their disastrous date. It was there, in a moment of vulnerability, that he related this about his mother.

More importantly, he did it not as a honeytrap ploy or spy tactic, but as a genuine, honest moment of opening up. This memory might have been something that he had repressed for years (if not decades), and instead of making up something related to "Loid Forger", [Redacted] shared a part of his true self.

And think about it: he did this without hesitation. No timer running in his head, no calculations, no cost-benefits analysis. None of that overthinking he does as a spy. Just sharing a tender, heartfelt memory that has stayed with him to this day.

This is something that Fiona has never witnessed, and I think it says a lot that Twilight opened up like this to his "fake-wife-needed-for-a-mission" (and one who had just kicked him in the face, no less) rather than a fellow WISE agent who arguably knows more of the "real" him than Yor does. Then again, I might be wrong. Fiona might just to want something so badly for so long that the possibility of it coming true is too much for her heart to handle. I mean, I myself have felt this way before (and probably other people have felt this as well) so it's not too much of a stretch to imagine this for a fictional character. But I guess my main point is that Fiona still holds Twilight to such a high standard that she fails to see the real him. If she were to see the "real" him, would she still feel the same way? Or would it even be possible for her to see the real man behind Twilight? Or will her delusional fantasies still rationalize everything he does as being "perfect" and make her "love" him all the more for his imperfections?

Just a thought.

24 + Loid forger?

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Oooh this is a really good one! Thank you for the ask anon! 💖

My other main fandom is ‘Resident Evil’ and I think that perhaps Ethan Winters reminds me of Loid as a persona; a loving family man/secret badass who has a low tolerance for bullshit and will do anything for his family, especially his wife and daughter

But in terms of TWILIGHT, I would say he reminds me of Leon Kennedy. Leon and Twilight both were idealistic at the start of their lives/careers, but were blackmailed into becoming weapons for the government. They both became a lot more emotionally closed off, a lot more brutal and jaded, but still want to try and make the world a better place despite the horrors they’ve seen.

All three are also just sexy too so there’s that as well 😜

Yor and loid forger 🍓🍓

That post where it is like My partner passes out in 0.5 seconds and I have insomnia but we both get sad if we don't snuggle so most nights its just: wide eyed weary person being full body snuggled by their peacefully sleeping partner.

That will be Yor and Loid.

He needs his snuggles. Yor loves to provide them. She immediately falls asleep once in bed and her anxiety riddled husband lays there for a hour or three but at least Yors holding him and making happy sleepy noises on occasion.

I wonder if Yor’s ever thought that Loid’s control freak tendencies are related to his previous wife.

Like, maybe Loid asked her to pick up groceries for him one time and she ended up getting hit by a car, so now he feels he has to work three times as hard to make sure he doesn’t have to endure a loss like that ever again.

She also doesn’t know exactly when she died, so Loid could’ve been a grieving single parent for a few years before he met Yor, which would explain why he’s so anxious all of the time.

A lot of people assume Yor is really gullible and just takes things at face value (which, to be fair, she does), but from her perspective, everything about Loid makes sense as a widower trying to raise a child and maintain a stressful job.

Even his normally sullen attitude could be lingering depression from his wife’s death.

From Yor’s point of view, Loid has really been put through the wringer and gone through a lot of undeserved pain. But despite all of that, she still sees him as an incredibly kind and patient man, trying to be the best parent he can be for Anya.

It’s no wonder she wants to be more useful for him: she wants to ease the burdens she thinks he’s been carrying alone.

And she’s not entirely wrong either.
