Very interesting discourse happening on spy x family twitter right now. Apparently, we’re mad at Twilight for… *reads notes* acting like a spy? People are mad he might tranquillise Yor to get himself out of a dangerous situation.
He’s been panicking for two whole chapters. He’s surrounded by SSS. He's running out of ideas. He knows if they catch him, they’ll either torture or kill him. There’s a long con mission riding on him getting out safely. Of course he’s stressed and willing to do anything possible to get out of that party.
Why is potentially tranquillising someone his biggest sin? HE’S AN ACTUAL SPY PEOPLE. He has a body count!!! He’s not some squeaky-clean law-abiding citizen. Tranquillising someone is not out of the realm and would honestly be pretty tame on the list of Twilight’s crimes. It's also not being painted as the heroic thing to do here anyway. It's a desperate act. So the outrage seems disproportionate to me. Like, that man is a spy. He is not thinking straight. He is not normal. He never has been...
Also, it’s a comedy. What about that setup and Endo as the author tells you it’ll be played straight? Tranq probably wouldn’t even work on Yor since she has a strong immunity to poisons and sedatives. Plus, Twilight is not getting off scot-free. This chapter is literally him suffering the consequences of bugging and interrogating Yor disguised as the SSS agent earlier in the story. He is well acquainted with karma by now.
AND he has chronic gut issues.
Anyway, this is my favourite panel from the chapter. Look at him. Pathetic loser.
I also think people are forgetting that Twilight is also considering tranquillising Yor in this chapter for HER safety too.
If his cover is blown or the SSS find anything vaguely suspicious about either of them, it could have a disastrous effect not only for Twilight but the Forger family as a whole.
We even see Twilight contemplating what will happen to Anya if his cover is blown - something he never would have put much thought into at the very start of the manga.
Twilight is juggling the future of the mission but also the future of the only two people he has allowed himself to become remotely close/attached to in decades.
Yes, of course, using a tranquillising dart or smth on Yor isn't morally good but at the end of the day 1) he is literally a spy, morally grey is part of the whole deal and 2) he has the safety of Yor and Anya as his top priority, whether he realises this or not. He even stepped in to take a bullet for Yor a couple chapters ago ffs
file -> phrases that are going to shift something in me forever
As usual, some of my fave bits of the latest Spy x Family chapter (Chapter 135) along with a bit of analysis (if you really can call it that lol)
Spoilers ahead...
in every universe (threat)
motherfuck i am SICK AND TIRED of ai generated bullshit seeping into everything i love.
zeke trying to manipulate eren only to realize he's born crazy will never not be funny
Finally finished AOT the other day (I started watching the show way back in 2013-14ish and just never got around to the final season) and genuinely will still be thinking about the Uno reverse Eren pulled for years to come
Latest crochet project...
I crocheted a book sleeve bag using a pattern from Biyabimi which I'm absolutely in love with
I used Pato everyday prints DK yarn in the colour theme "toybox" which reminds me of Lego, it's so fun and bold
It actually worked up pretty quickly (other than a couple froggings)
I also added a cute apple-themed keyring I made freehand a while ago cause I thought it matches the vibe
Pre reveal Loid admitting to himself that he loves Anya and then thinking that in front of her.
Anya just snapping around like PAPA LOVES ME????
Having to bite her tongue and Not say it back because he's looking at her Real confused and he'll know she's a mind reader if she just starts saying that back or him at the park.
Biting her tongue and waiting. Wanting to say it back to him. Eager for the opportunity.
Him getting nervous because She's clearly nervous about something and He doesn't know what.
Yor knowing something is off all of the sudden but not knowing what. Loid expressing his own concern and confusion. Maybe Yor can ask her? Anya clams up when he does.
But she can't tell Mama. Because what if Mama thinks it's weird she's so eager to say I Love You to her Papa who has always been hers. (Except not really)
Almost saying it at dinner. But is that strange when they never said it before? It's not hamburger steak. If she said I love you after hamburger steak they'd understand.
Not wanting to say it at all during homework time.
Sitting next to him on the couch while they read spy wars together as they have so many nights before and wanting to say it. Him wondering why she's so distracted.
Her bringing out a book at bedtime and asking him to read it. "That one's short enough. I suppose. Just the one book, it's getting late."
Watching him the whole time because she wants to hear Him say it again and she's so nervous. Him closing the book and sitting next to her on the bed and asking her in that gentle tone of his what's wrong.
"I love you Papa." Forcing it out because she's still so scared to say it. Almost incomprehensible as she buries it in his thigh as she clings to him.
But he understands. She hears him echo it. She... Loves me? "I... I love you too." And there is no lie in his head as he pets hers. Even if it hurts him to say like it hurt her a little to say.
Pops her head up. "I love you Papa!" Meets his eyes.
"I love you Anya." He echoes back. Like they are practicing saying it. Which they are. Unfamiliar words. Words for Yor and Anya but not him.
Throws her arms around his neck and hugs him. "I love you. I love you Papa."
He holds her back. Those words are so hard to say. Terrifying and horrible and certainly mean the end for him. Squeezes her tight to his chest. How did she know? Did she? Or is this just his adopted daughter being so much braver than him. Than he could ever be?
"I love you Anya." There are tears and a smile that is too real for his face. "I love you."
"and we're going to have to ease into this or else Yor is going to get very suspicious of us."
Don't mind me, just crying my eyes out
Looking back at some Spy x Family panels and noticed something (which might be absolutely nothing ngl)
Major spoilers ahead...
You're right! (Spy x family spoilers ahead)
This is a common form of manga iconography. From this source: https://www.visuallanguagelab.com/jvl usually fuzzy circles/bubbles are used in manga to depict being in a dreamlike or fantasizing state. Examples here:
Source:
In the case of Yor and Damian I believe that these were being used to show that they were imagining what 'could be'; Damian a closer relationship with his dad, and Yor, a closer relationship with Loid. They were very intentionally placed there to represent a complex emotion.
Meanwhile, with Loid, they're suppressed, because he probably isn't intentionally thinking about how he loves his wife. But they're there. And this isn't the first time we've seen Loid with them, either.
In this scene, for example, he's waking up after dreaming about his mum because he's associating Yor with that comfort. And look at those orbs!
When we see yor being sweet through loids eyes (and we know this is through loids eyes because she has the same cuteified appearance as when we first saw her when loid was considering her to be his wife) she has them
He has attracted to Yor for a while, because she has always had this dream like and ethereal iconography associated with her when seen through Loids perspective. She is something distant and unobtainable.
Omg that makes so much sense! I'm glad I haven't been reading into things too much and creating meanings for them when they aren't there ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
It's so interesting as well that the little speckles have been there for a while and I've just never really noticed them
Hi, I have been seeing your blog for a few weeks and I really like your SxF analysis.
I wanna ask what is the meaning of the shadows underneath Loid's speech bubbles when he said "Yes. I love her" (Chapter 134)
Thank you, I'm glad you've been enjoying my blog ☺️
Yeah, I've been thinking about what the shadow on his speech bubbles mean.
I took a look at a handful of other panels during emotional/important moments (obviously checking every panel in the series would be too much, so I just picked some) and I couldn't find any others that used shadows like this; they were either the usual opaque speech bubbles, transparent ones (which I discussed here) or the dialogue is just right on the panel with no bubble around it (which, like the transparent speech bubbles, seem to occur when the character is saying something very intense and/or important).
So if Endo intentionally made a brand new type of speech bubble for this scene specifically, it only further reinforces how significant it is. I can't say exactly what he's trying to convey with it, but my interpretation as of now is that it's further emphasizing Twilight being truthful - the shadows give off a sense of depth and a "popping out" affect to the words, as if what he's saying is at the forefront rather than being pushed or hidden behind a mask. Again, this is just my interpretation. I could be wrong 😅
If anyone knows of another example in the series where shadows are placed behind speech bubbles like this, please let me know!
