the Ejen Muda Antarabangsa are eating my brain bro I NEED to know more about their backstories LIKE I'm so interested on their life before MATA and how they got recruited. I mean other than Kim, we've only gotten snippets of it in s3ep10.
Like wdym at Sam's place you can like enlist yourself??? Like the army I mean in a way MATA is a military organisation BUT STILL??? did they ask for parental permission?? Probably not knowing MATA.
Rizka on the other hand, all I remember her saying that before joining MATA she was a Silat prodigy and won tons of competition so much so she got bored and her Tok guru was the one who recruited her.
And Aleks all he said was that he was a strong kid and "they" told him that all strong kids become agents. Knowing MATA's track record of recruiting orphans maybe Aleks is an orphan too? Just a headcanon tho
I think the funniest official description is Sam’s cause he was describes as “calm yet cunning” when his ass is as panicky as Ali is 😭
Eng:
“A Neuro agent with a multifunctional Swiss Watch. Someone who is calm yet cunning in creating strstegies that expose his enemies’ weakness. He receives recommendation from West branch of MATA to represent them as their best young agents to join MATA Arena.”
apparently she was supposed to be revealed in s2 as Alastor's and Vox's robot daughter that they made together (as in like assembling a robot not that...)
not sure if this is a hot take/unpopular headcanon but I'm predicting (read: hoping/manifesting/wishing) that since Alicia lost her memories and will no longer be able to be a MATA agent, the Neuros will be one person down and will require a new agent
How the fuck do I draw Sam's FUCK ASS HAIR CUT ugh I feel like I have to dissect every hair strand to understand the anatomy of it. at this point, his hair is its own organ.
Bro I've just started S3 (FINALLY) and these 2 have invaded my brain. So now you all must be subjected to my brainrot. (Also do yall like the banner?¿ and dividers?¿ I made for this post 🥺)
════════════════════════════════
After, the end of s3 Rizka and Sam exchanged phone numbers which led them to having a long distance relationship but the they do often met up in person.
Because they live in different countries with COMPLETELY different weather environments. It becomes a fish-out-of-water exprience for both of them when visiting eachothers respective countries.
Like they would remind the other to pack more heavy/light clothing and the other would just not do it because... they are stubborn (hey it takes one to know one).
This happened during the first time Rizka visited the UK.
She would underestimate the cold. And while at first, when she hopped off the plane she was like "huh, it's not that bad" unnnntil the first gust of wind hits... THEN she regrets not listening to Sam. But ofcourse she's never admitting it.
And Sam is just there, all bundled up in his nice layered clothing and being all "I told you so~" with that smug smirk of his.
And as much as I like to think he gave her his jacket or that they shared a scarf. I think he would just take her out shopping and being like "it's okay, it's on me" ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)✨ cause he's rich like that .
Buuuuut Rizka would pick out the most ugliest coat known to man just to mess with him and his instant reaction would be "No, not only it's ugly it's not even high quality! You would be just as cold as before and I'll be down a few pounds. It's a bad purchase for both of us!"
The exact same scenario happened when Sam visited Indonesia
he comes with his layered clothing underestimating how hot it can get thinking "eh its going to be like a light cold summer breeze"
and it is AT FIRST in the early morning but when the noon comes he is melting and he has ditched his sweater and rolled up his sleeve trying to make the heat more bearable to withstand
Before Sam could die from a heatstroke Rizka came saving the day with a shirt for him to change into and it's revealed to be a jersey WITH HER NAME ON IT
So the implications to passerby's are clear
Because they live soooo faaaaarr a way they would regularly have phone calls usually when the other is already going to bed or almost starting their day.
Also they would regularly mail eachother gifts.
I imagine Rizka sending half of those matching couple keychains to Sam and Sam asking over text like:
Sam: "how much did this cost you?"
Rizka: "oh the gifts were just 20 rupiah"
Rizka:"but the shipping from Indo to UK is 55 rupiah 😮💨"
Sam:" oh really if that's the case..."
Sam:"can you give me your digital wallet? I'm going to pay you back for the package and shipping"
Rizka: "WHAT!? no dude it's a gift. People don't pay for gifts"
Also talking about gift giving...
I imagine Sam using his neuro agent skills to somehow calculate the right time to deliver a package filled with Chocolates for valentines day like he can't just willy-nilly send a package at a random time it has to be ON valentines day and sending the package now might cause it to arrive earlier and sending it too late will cause it to arrive late and that's not taking account the fact that the package itself has to go either by water or air to get to the other side of the world and depending on which mailing service he choose and wether their "fast delivery" service is actually fast will effect the outcome. Can you guess this guy is overthinking.
These two have no idea how to kiss. So during their first kiss:
Rizka was visibly nervous. Girl was trembling, she started sweating, Her heartbeat was starting to get faster and faster. But hey! Atleast Sam seems like he knows what he's doing. Right...?
No, Sam is just good at putting up a show. Yknow tracing her jaw, tilting her head to the perfect angle and guiding her to the kiss. To people watching (and Rizka), it looks like the perfect cinematic worthy kiss. The ones that seems like it's been planned and practice beforehand. But in Sam's mind he is internally screaming. Cause what does he do!? Does he just smash his lips onto hers?? Does he just give a small peck or quickly pull away????
In the end he pulled away and started fake coughing
Sam: *cough* *cough* "I've caught the cold maybe we shouldn't kiss"
Rizka seeing through his BS let's go of his hand : "Then maybe we shouldn't hold hands either. If You're sooooo worried about me catching your cold"

Note: I don't actually know what the price is to mail something from Indonesia to the UK is I just punched in some random number :P
I have more hc of this ship but I'll end it herreee
