So, Shopkeeper and by extension, the Garden is fine with Yor's face being broadcasted in national TV.
McMahon, as always, even back her up.
As I've stated before, it's fascinating to see how Shopkeeper seems to favor Yor over the other Garden agents.
He gave her the tittle of "princess", he assigned McMahon as Yor's butler, he let Yor get married with "avoiding SSS suspicion" reason while he knows for sure SSS aren't a threat to Garden....
And now, Shopkeeper enjoyed Yor's performance on TV, and even purge the corrupted minister in process 👀
I really need to know their history.
The moment Shopkeeper find Yor and started nurturing her, so Yor can survive and raised Yuri.
I also wonder if this incident, become one of the reason Thorn Princess starts to wear masks during her jobs 👀
I mean.... that way.... we can get an even more dramatic TwiYor identity reveal 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My take on SxF 130 + my Prediction for the next one (manga spoilers obvs!)
I know a lot of people think Yuri will interfere with jealous Loid/ a potential kiss next chapter, but I am 1000% of the opinion that this:
Was set up for Yuri having a more favorable opinion of Loid so that, when presented with this:
…he pushes Loid to replace the current actor (whether that be through a disguise or blatant) so that Yor is doing the scene with someone she loves and someone that loves her (and so that in turn she doesn’t have to sacrifice her precious screen-time lmao). Yuri still distrusts Loid, but this is prime lesser of two evils/the enemy of my enemy is my friend territory.
In going down this route, it would also make it so that Loid doing the scene becomes a decision that falls entirely on him, because with Yuri on board he has no one to interfere and tell him not to do it. Additionally, deciding to be in the scene would be VERY unwise in the realm of compromising his identity no matter which way you put it (cuz even if he goes down the disguise route it could ring some alarm bells for Yuri on the whole Twilight front), so afterwards he’ll have to face the fact that he wanted to do it A) for HIMSELF and his own selfish desires (jealousyyy), and/or B) to “protect” Yor, mission be damned. Needless to say… his ass can NOT hide behind “for the mission” this time and I’m SAT.
I really love this concept bc it would be such an interesting way to develop Twiyor on Loid’s side, and like…idk I would LIVE to see Yuri feeding into Loid’s jealousy LMAO like you cannot tell me that wouldn’t be the funniest thing for him to do after everything 😭 like look at them they’re already twinning he’s gonna corrupt Loid and I’m ready:
Anyway, remember me two weeks from now guys when my prediction comes true, and to close here’s some jealous/protective Loid because YES HE WAS JEALOUS THIS CHAPTER IDC IDCCCCC THIS IS NOT A DRILL ITS FINALLY HAPPENING GOODNIGHT.
I'm calling it now. They're all getting a stella for uncovering the conspiracy and a tonitrus bolt for skipping Henderson's retirement party. Hence 4 stellas to become an imperial scholar and 4 tonitrus bolts until expulsion.
Okay chapter 125 you got me holding my breath even until the last page.
(I'm on a asmatic season so...)
For some reason this whole arc looks a lot like a mix of HP and the chamber of secrets and half blood prince, but maybe it's just me.
I knew that someone was about to hold her, and of course it was going to be Anya's voice of reason.
Bill IS an honorary Cecile member (you can't change my mind) and the trusted "adult" of this new assembly. look at the height difference, it looks like he is growing even more.
Georgie started as a creepy classmate, and look at him now being brave and wanted to participate in the groups adventures.
Okay Madam, you are going to be the reason this kids get all Tonitrus bolts AND Stellas. but you know what? I support!!!
Trusted "adult" at play and never failing at manners.
This is giving Not me, Not Hermione, Yoouuu!!
Another Wild creepy teacher appears. (Where were they this whole time?)
Connie will always be a Queen in my book
Fitting the quota for weird things on that damned bulding.
Anya, baby girl, I know that NOTHING is scarier than getting back to the lab where they experimented on you, but come on, THIS was kind of scary even for me. Look at the horror in Becky and Damian's faces and she is just excited to be witnessing such a thing.
I know some people say they don't like Eden chapters because they prefer the family ones, but I just Love this ones because we actually learn more. And this kids are my children and they are perfect in every way. I love them so much.
Some extra thoughts.
Aside from this looking a lot like the Harry Potter's arcs. After this chapter I'm completly sure this is leading to all the kids getting stellas and tonitrus, it was a vage thought I had this week and it was reinforced by the panel of Lady Tonitrus.
The stellas are going to be awarded by their courage and doing the right thing for someone else. The Tonitrus, because they are still risking their lives by going there on their own and fighting those creepy AF adults.
Maaaaaybe I'm wrong but we will see.
(Sorry to the people who stumble upon this silly post. This is my way to decompress and yap about this.)
Ok, so I can see the end of the chapter leading us three possible directions. Blame fanfiction for my wild imagination.
1) Anya's reveal to Damian was a one-off joke and he will continue to not believe her, the status quo is maintained and we get some more silly chapters unrelated to the reveal.
2) Anya now decides to just. Really convince him of her powers and we get some shenanigans, but still very silly. Maybe they get closer and maybe (as her backstory is being foreshadowed heavily) she even gets close enough to share with him how she got powers once he believes her. It's their secret now and it becomes a narrative foil for Twiyor with how having someone to confide in is good.
3) Due to all the foreshadowing of her backstory, I heavily suspect we may get Kidnapped!Anya. I'm probably living too much in fanfic land, but what if having revealed herself to someone has put her in danger and we get Twilight learning about her background and Damian being the only person she's told manages to give Twilight the info needed to rescue her? This also reaffirms for Twilight that keeping secrets are top priority and while he now knows Anya's, he's only more determined to close himself off for the sake of the mission, even if this also shows him just how much he cares for his (100% fake) daughter. This one is also my biggest stretch.
Sigmund Authen faisait donc bel et bien partit du projet dont Anya était encore à l'époque au labo avant de s'enfuir. Et il dit qu'elle est le sujet numéro 7 ?! Est ce que ça veut dire qu'il existe d'autres enfants comme Anya qui auraient des capacités similaires à elle ?! Est ce qu'on les rencontrera ou bien sont ils morts suite aux expériences ?!
So Sigmund Authen was indeed part of the project that Anya was still in at the lab before she ran away. And he says she's subject number 7?! Does that mean there are other children like Anya who have abilities similar to hers?! Will we meet them, or did they die as a result of the experiments?!
My maybe unpopular opinion is that Damian and Anyas dynamic shouldn't change in significant ways until Anya actually views Damian as a genuine friend and not a shiny prize. Because at this point her motivation isn't exactly better than all the other girls' and Damian can probably sense that, it's just that he can't figure out her why.
This post is based on a pretty interesting discussion in a DA server I'm in where some fellow fans have criticized Endo's writing, mainly because there wasn't as much impact after the bus arc as people expected (which is ofc valid crit). I just want to share what I wrote:
Late to the whole convo, but I lightly disagree that the da dynamic didn't change *at all*, however it does seem as though there wasn't as much impact from the bus arc as hoped. However, we did get some subtle shifts that should be noteworthy, namely Damian actually getting jealous and shivering at the mere *thought* of Anya getting "stolen" from him. This has never happened prior to the bus arc and is now a recurring development. That and Becky now teasing Damian in addition to cheering on Anya, especially when comparing her very open hostility towards him earlier in the story. Not only is she friendly to him now, it seems like she has seen through his crush too.
I don't think that Endo will change the dynamics too much anytime soon, especially because of how little time has passed in the sxf universe. Keep in mind that damian doesn't really have a proper role model who actively helps him unlearn the toxic mindset he quite literally grew up with; the closest he'd get is his mother wishing for him to be friends with Anya too, but that is only something he heard from Jeeves and not Melinda herself. But he definitely was reflecting on that in the cake chapter.
I also think that Damian is in his "I'm too grown-up for this kiddie shit" phase, he probably thinks he's better than *everyone else*, not just Anya (like him scoffing at Bill). He really doesn't want to dance with anyone and is just annoyed with all this attention imo. But he's also jealous and doesn't want Anya to dance with anyone else, but ofc won't actually admit that because he's a brat. He's just a kid with many Big Feelings™ going on that he doesn't understand and doesn't even get the privacy to unpack, so ofc he's lashing out and acting even worse than usual. I wouldn't be surprised if he just runs away in the next chapter because he's just so fed up with everything and everyone.
I feel like us fans keep forgetting that Damians boundaries are straight up being pushed if not disrespected, he's been saying multiple times that he doesn't want to dance and literally everyone is ignoring him as a person with feelings (except his friends who probs set the competition up in order to reject everyone on his behalf)
Nobody but his two best friends actually care about his feelings on this whole matter, he's just a shiny prize to everyone else *including* Anya.
Anyway I think Endo is saving the big dynamic change for something far more significant such as the telepathy reveal 👀
