Yor calls Loid "darling," it's what most naturally falls out of her mouth, considering their first almost–kiss, and she gets a kick out of knowing what it does to him to remember that moment. This isn't the only one: she'll call him countless other things, but darling never fails to get him to blush just a little, and she loves it.
Loid calls Yor "love." He always avoided using that as a pet name for his honey traps—it was an emotion he didn't want to touch with a ten foot pole, and it's not like most people pick the pet names their partner uses for them. Subconsciously he had been saving it in case he actually could mean it someday. And so this one is entirely hers, and it's simple, but every time it falls from his lips it's intentional, and it reminds him how much he has now. He doesn't want to call her any of the other things because they don't mean anything to him, but this one does. (He'll pull out a princess here and there, though, when he's feeling cheeky.)
I was chatting with @katzennstack about theories around Anya’s telepathy and one theory I suggested that kind of started as a throwaway comment but actually feels like it might have merit is that Anya is a clone
There’s a line somewhere in the canon (I think!) that says Anya was “accidentally created”. We also see that, in Anya’s flashback of her ‘mother’, they seem to share very similar features; notably, their hair. Anya’s mother has two knots at the top of her hair like Anya has her hair cones. This led me to thinking about how Anya ended up in the research facility in the first place - was she born there? Brought there? Or could it be that she was made there?
So my completely random (and probably not likely) theory is that Anya was a product of her mother being an experiment by the government and is, in fact, a clone of the woman - so although she acts in the ‘mother’ role, she is actually Anya as well
It could be that Anya’s mother had psychic abilities too, but I wonder if as part of the cloning process something happened that meant Anya’s brain developed these telepathic powers, which is why it’s an ‘accident’ - OR the powers were already present in Anya’s mother, but Anya being produced was an accident and she was the first clone?
Now why was Project Apple about cloning? Supposedly (I am not a gardener so cannot confirm beyond Google) all commercial apple varieties are clones, with growers reproducing varieties by taking cuttings (funnily enough called scions) and grafting them onto a new root system to ensure the exact same fruit is being produced each time
So what if that’s the reason it’s Project Apple? And Anya’s mother is a bit like Alice in the ‘Resident Evil’ film series? They could be cloning her because she had paranormal sensibilities (telepathy, telekinesis, etc) and the scientists wanted to use her DNA to create supersoldiers for the war against the West - remember they told Anya that her powers were for “world peace”.
There’s probably a fair few holes with this theory and I really haven’t developed it or explored it beyond that initial convo, but still food for thought!
What if one of the first job Yor took was going to university and pose as a clinical trial subject, and they basically gave her Supersoldier serum on accident?
Let's call it Project B (between Project Apple and Project C)
What would have happened if Sylvia had come Is she sick for work and what do you think her overall relationship with colleagues from the embassy would be like if someone showed a love interest in Sylvia there and how would she deal with it
And I thought it would be quite comedic if the lieutenant began to show interest in Sylvia in the Form of a citizen and tried to take care of her and did not understand why she was avoiding and running away from him. I would even like to read such a mini-comic.
Do you think it would offend Sylvia if a newcomer asked for help at work Or for someone to help him , not to her , but when she asked why , he replied , well , you 're scaring me . I still think it's important for Sylvia to be a good mentor and mentor in the first place.
How would Silvia feel about Turkish TV series or similar
Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm writing ff on Sylvia right now. And I have a lot of thoughts about her. also, sorry for my broken English, I don't really know how to speak it, but I like your posts and fanfiction and I would like to hear your opinion about it.
Hello! Apologies for the late response.
What would happen if Sylvia was sick at work, and if one of her embassy colleagues had a crush on her:
I wouldn't be surprised if Sylvia calls in sick fairly regularly as an excuse for WISE business. The embassy is probably used to it. We also have evidence that she pretends to be harmless and afflicted by "aging:"
As to how she would react to an embassy colleague having a crush on her, I think it would depend on the person. If she felt no attraction toward the person, she would just rebuff them politely. If she was attracted to them, she might have a brief fling with them. It might help her cover as a "normal" woman. As part of the backstory I gave her in the Signal and the Smoke, her most recent sexual encounter before the Lieutenant was with an embassy colleague who had no idea who she really was.
2. What would it be like for the Lieutenant to pursue her in canon:
I joked around on a discord server about this once. Imagine the Lieutenant went on dates with "Secretary Sherwood" from the Westalian embassy in secret, only to later find out that she was the head of WISE? I imagined a scenario based off an attempted coup following the fall of the USSR, where the CIA and KGB were on "friendly" terms, and a CIA representative was trapped in the embassy while a firefight between rebels and the military occurred just outside. The CIA guy made a gamble and called the head of the KGB for support, expecting to get nothing, and against all expectations the KGB agreed to send a squad to bail them out. But he would only send the team on two conditions: 1. Under no circumstances could the CIA people talk to the KGB squad, they could not afford to be photographed together by any foreign media, 2. "If we die, we die separately."
It would be funny if Sylvia were trapped in this kind of scenario and all her combat-trained agents were not available, so she had no choice but to call her SSS boyfriend and ask him for help. The Lieutenant reluctantly calls up Chloe, Yuri, and the rest of his squad to go rescue his Westalian girlfriend from terrorists. Yuri is in shock that the Lieutenant has a girlfriend at all, while Chloe is trying her best to be wingwoman.
3. What would happen if someone asked Sylvia for help at work:
At the embassy she probably has a friendly persona where she helps out her colleagues no matter how incompetent they are. But within WISE, everyone must be afraid to ask for her help or even to clarify instructions out of fear that she will accuse them of not listening. Everyone except the old WISE agent (who I call Stratus) is probably afraid of her in this way. And maybe Nightfall because she just DGAF. Handler could stand to be a little kinder to her agents, but at the same time her agents should be worrying about much scarier threats than their boss snapping at them.
4. How would Sylvia feel about Turkish TV series:
She probably doesn't have much time for any kind of entertainment, but I could imagine her watching comedies or low-stakes dramas to unwind from her stressful life at the end of the day. She does this a bit in The Signal and the Smoke.
I can't wait for the moment when Twilight comes at a crossroad when he realizes his feelings for the Forger family.
Will it be a moment where Yor and Anya are potentially in danger?
Will Twilight, on his way to save them, realize just how much he cares about them? Will the realization of Westalis' greatest spy committing the number one sin in his line of work, getting attached to 'the mission', force him to decide?
Twilight: "I...care about them? The Forgers aren't just a ruse? No. I can't become attached, a spy never compromises himself. I have to make Loid Forger disappear and lay low at WISE and wait for my next assignment-"
Loid's head clears and he questions his own chain of thoughts:"No. They're in danger. Yor. Anya. Bond. My family is in danger."
He let's the mask of Twilight fall, not Loid Forger. He sheds the emotionally detached spy of Westalis and runs to rescue his family as Loid, worried family man with a license to kill.
By the time Loid actually gets to them, he sees Yor already killed off everyone who threatened them. She sustained injuries herself, but nothing life threatening. Anya and Bond don't have a scratch on them.
They're safe.
"Loid/Papa/Woof!"
When his family knocks him over from the force of their combined hug, even with the nervous tension in his shoulders, the blood on Yor's clothes (not her own) and Anya's tears soaking into his shirt, Loid is sure of one thing he never allowed himself to be sure of as a spy.
I can’t stop thinking about Anya with a babysitter who is also a psychic
Now I have to make headcanons about it in order to get it out of my mind. Hope you're happy anon/j thanks for the idea

Anya with a psychic!babysitter
✧ Either new missions or a date "to look like a normal marriage", Loid and Yor have something to do and unfortunately Anya can't join
✧ Frankie is not available that day, but Loid doesn't have problem with finding a replacement. Although he would never let someone he doesn't know with his fake daughter
✧ Doing the same he did with the Operation Wife, he memorizes every detail about the babysitters who replied to the offer
✧ Before even finishing an interview there are already those who discard; yes, he interviews people for just a day-job. Did you doubt it?
✧ Smokers? Discarded. Criminal history even if it's just a parking ticket? No thanks. People with slightly sexist or discriminatory thinking of some kind? Next
✧ Thanks to his knowledge of the body language and psychology he's able to know things that aren't mentioned in their files, just looking at them is enough to say what's their political opinion without bringing the topic directly
✧ From all the options you were acceptable. Good with kids, no incidents recorded with the authorities, available that day and your rate is cheap
✧ Yor was less demanding than her husband, but she trusted him to hire the best babysitter. When Loid asked her about you she said that you seemed a good person
✧ After changing numbers you agreed to babysit Anya next afternoon. The girl came late from school so she didn't meet you until the following day
✧ Discovering that from all the candidates the chosen one is a psychic was mind blowing. Bond showed her your appearance, not this
✧ Probably she discovered peeking into your mind a bit, unless your power is telepathy like her and both went speechless when you heard the other screaming "I'm listening my mind in your mind?!?" without doing a sound
✧ If there was someone with you in that moment they would wonder if you knew each other to make that face
✧ The little sper couldn't contain her happiness, asking you hundreds of questions right away. How you got your power? Does somebody knows your secret? It increases its strength when you're older?
✧ There are few to none odds that you got psychic powers in a natural way, so once you start thinking about the struggles you went through at her age she feels pity for bringing up the subject and tries to distract you from your thoughts by introducing you to her plushies agents
✧ She may not tell you about her parents secrets at first, unless she let her thoughts flow and you unintentionally see something about their jobs, but Anya would tell you some of her adventures: her first day at Eden and somebody called syon boy, the day Pa brought her to his job and the teacher put a weird face when she talked about his mind doctor methods, her super incredible sea journey...
✧ Seeing her enjoying herself despite her power was another grateful surprise. Most of the people who you knew with the same state at yours had been burned out by depressed thoughts, even you wished you had never been a sper before meeting her
✧ At least she had the chance to live the life in your day you couldn't
✧ The day flied and the Forgers came home in the middle of one of your games. When Loid thanked for your service while you were saying goodbye Anya grabbed to your leg as if her life depended on it
✧ She threatened to not go back to school if her parents didn't let you babysit her anymore, and you promised her you would play together again
✧ She always counted the days to you next visit and tell you everything about her day. Loid and Yor were glad you were able to take care so well of her, mostly because sometimes they didn't know what she needed and you two seemed to understand each other perfectly
✧ Frankie made a little act of being replaced and losing money; although the thing went bad when Loid assured him his job as babysitter and dog walker haven't ended
✧ When you are babysitting Anya alone is more comfortable because you can talk through your minds, but babysitting along Frankie never get boring
✧ It's like seeing two gremlins in search of entertainment with one braincell carried by Anya. Somehow the adult is worse than her because he joins her quickly when it comes to mess with Loid, and if you're not the one who is responsible here then is even more chaotic
✧ Sometimes Frankie jokes with you two reading each other's minds, not so funny to Anya when it's true but oh God way funnier to you though. Joke about it and Anya will freak out, you try to teach her "if you freak out is more suspicious" because the more evident it looks the less probabilities someone takes it seriously
✧ Overall knowing another person who have powers made her feel less lonely, and her endearing antics makes you feel better about it as well
