"Your brother is...unruly. Yet, one cannot fight fire with fire. That much our forebears have taught us, Your Grace. We must fight fire with water, as it has been done for thousands of years."Daemon Targaryen and Clarice Hightower have never seen eye to eye. She looks down upon him for his fiery - some would say foolish - impulsivity, he mocks her for her careful - some would say craven - scheming. A common enemy finally binds them together but their alliance is built on the treacherous quicksand of the Red Keep. For now, they might need each other to play the most dangerous game of all, but so close to the sea, the wind changes quickly and loyalty or affection are luxuries players of this game simply cannot afford.

toxic yuri whatever day it is

Akutagawa (victim of abuse who became an abuser and is still learning about self-worth) being the one who has to take care of Aya (a child of an abusive dad who treated her like a failure) is something so important for both of their characters. I am so excited to see how this dynamic ends up developing. Akutagawa could finally show his emotional improvement while taking care of her in comparison to how he treated Kyouka, while Aya becomes her own knight but learns to let herself be protected too and mourn Bram. And they bond over the same trauma. And they're happy at some point because if they aren't I might die.

@somerandomdudelmao's latest update for context

[matcha-gg]

Whitepine whitepine whitepine whitepine whitepine am I right???

Thinking about Taiga and the nicknames he gives people.

Jin - briefly mentioned in one of his voice lines. [No nickname]

Hyde - campus event. [Hyde gets called dirtbag.] [Sack of Shit.]

Romeo Scorpius 'Fico' Lucci - [Lulu]

Haru - [Harry] [Makes me wonder if Haru was in Sinostra before he was in Jabberwock.]

Edward / Ed- [Bloodsucker, which really is just Vampire.]

Haku - never explicitly mentioned but he called him an asshole in the prologue chapter so I think he somewhat remembers Haku's existence. [asshole] or. alt. [Nagi]

Rui - [Mickey] [Romeo also calls him Mickey.]

Ritsu - he needs time. Lots of time but time. [Dumbass w/ the book or just Dumbass]

PC - also needs to be reminded who they are. [Dumbass #2 or if affinity raised- Kitten, Kittycat.]

extra: Peekaboo - [Rat]

I want to get inside Taiga's mind. HE'S SUCH AN INTERESTING CHARACTER.

Because I'm on this, Towa names.

PC - [Dandelion] Meaning: overcoming hardship; faithfulness, happiness, love's oracle; rustic oracle; youthful recollections; coquetry

Ren - [Wolfsbane] Meaning: Misanthropy, chivalry; knight-errantry. [Lol, Ren and Chivalry?? I mean, I guess I can see that but not really 😭]

Kaito - [Coriander] Meaning: Hidden merit

Ed- [Rafflesia] Meaning: Symbol of death.

Additionally: *spoilers for Episode 6!!*

PC's Spider Lily Tattoo- This is where things with the meaning get tricky. Blue Spider Lilies symbolise the following: truth, calm energy, stability, freedom, and inspiration.

Though, the petals of a blue spider lily can change. In hotter climates, they become more pink symbolizing: Feminine love, beauty and passion. In cooler temperatures, they become more blue/purple. Here's a tidbit I think is pretty neat.

On an empty stalk [PC, in this case], the petals can only bloom in late August/early September. [Also, the time PC will turn into the anomaly.] [Because they got cursed on September 3rd/4th.]

Additionally: Campus Story: Towa offers you between two flowers:

Hydrangea- [Angry Towa] Meaning: In a negative sense frigidity, heartlessness. [Probably the general term in this since the flower wasn't shown to us.]

Lily - [Happy Towa] Meaning: Affection for loved ones. [Bro's such a hopeless romantic. I love him.]

The room is empty. The bed untouched. The window, tauntingly, is wide open.

!!!SBG SPOILERS CHAPTER 77!!!!

THIS CHAPTER WAS EVERYTHING HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

The dynamics between the kids and how comfortable they've gotten around each other, especially with how Ashlyn was totally okay with Taylor and Aiden messing with her hair-- which is something I absolutely adore in this chapter she looks amazing and badass. The fact that Logan felt comfortable enough being snarky like that is also everything. Like this kid has been bullied relentlessly and the fact that he knows he can be snarky and mess with Tyler like that without getting hurt because of it shows so much growth. And the little moment of childish delight between Taylor and Aiden at the idea of racing around and the fact that Ashlyn doesn't tell them to focus or be serious but instead tells them they can do it later?? Early Ashlyn would get so annoyed and now she's just chill with it because she knows they all have their own ways to cope and deal with the stress and that's honestly so sweet.

Also, Ben using sign language and being understood and the others trying to find solutions so he can warn them of danger or something he is about to do is so sweet. They're so accommodating and caring to one another without even having to think twice, it's honestly so sweet.

Alex helping them with the card without question is really sweet but I have bad feeling it's gonna backfire on him and I don't like it.

And the rules of the phantom dimension are literally so weird. So technically they don't need to sleep or eat but they should because it helps them feel better when they're awake? I knew I was onto something when I made that post about how the fact they're technically living 31 hours a day should effect them more physically.

Also, The fact that the facility has a fucking armory is insane but also works so perfectly for the Mike-centric AU I've been trying to cook up and speaking of Mike, OH MY GOD HE'S IN THE PHANTOM DIMENSION, I REPEAT, HE'S IN THE PHANTOM DIMENSION!!

Does that mean the other parents are there too? Is it just him? Is Emma with him?

Also, both dad and daughter being certified badasses and having the same instincts??

We also got Mike with facial hair again lol but I'm kinda worried about what the means. Like they probably gave them stuff for basic hygiene right? Did something happen? Is he spiralling? Who was the one that screamed in this moment?

Also-- THE WAY ASH STARTED CRYING WHEN SHE RECOGNIZED HIM??

Oh my god, idk if we're gonna have another hug moment where he's comforting her again or if we're gonna have all the kids hugging their parents but either imma start crying.

Also, if she's crying but she thinks she's the one who dragged her dad into the phantom realm and feels horribly guilty about it again I'm gonna fucking cry.

My thought process is all over the place but if you stayed thanks and here are some of my other favourite panels in this chapter.

the second one and aiden shooting the guns has some good pfp potential lol

Anyway, the new outfits and Ash's new hair is everything (she looks adorable I wanna squish her cheeks she looks like a chipmunk oml) and I can't wait until next week holy shit.

Anime only watchers and people who aren't caught up with the Manga, BEWARE... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 98... You have been warned...! 👌

[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]

This chapter literally broke me in more ways than one...

This chapter is a continuation of Martha and Henderson's backstory from Mission 97, so let's talk about it shall we...?

So when I opened this chapter and saw a radio...:

...I literally got PTSD from seeing it because it immediately made me think of the first part of Mission 62, Twilight's (or rather [REDACTED]'s) past, so I knew that things were about to take a turn for the worst...! 😔

On the same page, Martha asks Henderson what he's doing here and he tells her that there's a personnel shortage, so he got to graduate early. Then, Henderson turns off the radio and says this:

This is just... It's so sad, but true that things, like radios, that were once made for helping others can easily be used to spread hatred and cause harm... It's just not right... 😞

Moving on, after being separated for so long, Martha and Henderson were able to have another tea party like they used to have, but it wasn't long before things started to take a turn... During a school safety drill, Martha asks Henderson if he's excused from being drafted, and he tells her...:

"It may be that even education is powerless now."... 😟

Hearing Henderson say that hurts my soul... But nothing could prepare me for the next few pages...

Why... Why do things like this have to happen... 😣

No, things like this SHOULDN'T happen...! Innocent people dying because of senseless violence, because of war, it's just not right nor is it fair...! And I will always stand by that...!!

Continuing on, Henderson finds out that Martha is volunteering for The Women's Defense Auxiliary and he's upset by this. She tells him that the ballet company she was a part of is going to disband and her dream will go with it, so he scolds her again and she tells him this:

My heart hurts just seeing the anguish in face and in her words...!! 💔

And the heart break continues because Martha overhears that Henderson is going to be married off and she is devastated... But while in tears, she overhears that the dance is coming again, so this is her last chance to tell him how she feels...!

At the dance, Martha approaches Henderson:

Martha looks so cute here...!! 💗 I was so excited to see them dance together, that when I turned the page, something unexpected happened... I started to cry...:

Seeing them happy, even though just for this moment, it reminded me why I love Spy X Family so much... It's for these moments, the moments that most of S×F's cast is fighting for, the moments that we all should strive for...!! There are just so many bad things going on in the world that it makes wish that moments like these could be the norm for all instead of some...!! I just don't understand why must there be so much hatred and malice in the world... Why can't we all live in peace instead of conflict...

Gosh, I'm even crying now just writing all of that... I should probably start to wrap this up...!

So, just as Martha is about to confess to Henderson, this happens...:

...and the chapter ends... 💔😭💔

And that was Mission 98; truly such a heartwreching chapter to read, just like Mission 62 was...

I don't even know what else to say except thank you to Endo... Thank you for making this manga, for getting me feel all of these feelings, for giving me the opportunity to share these feelings with everyone that loves this series as much as I do...!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart...!! 💗

And thank you to all of you that reads this post...!! There's a lot of things that I wish that I could do to make the world a better place, but if this post inspires you in anyway, that's good enough for me...!! 💗

Sorry for rambling, but anyway... Until the next Mission; take care, be safe out there and thank you for reading...!! 🤗 Later!! 💗

I want to talk about this page in particular because the implications here are so riveting.

Lavi is currently 19. Allen is believed to be 16.

Which means that either

The Bookmen are lying

Bookman Jr. did die then and Allen either didn't age the first few years or his age got fucked up multiple times before he met Mana

The first seems highly improbable at this point tbh. If the Bookmen were planning to make Allen take the poison to make him remember his past then lying about when Past!Junior (presumably) died seems counterintuitive and would only make Allen mistrust them more once he was in full possession of his memories.

It doesn't seem like Allen de-aged to an infant. He says his earliest memories are from when he was in the circus. Even if he did age back to an infant, he would've needed caretakers and nothing in the story suggests he had any.

(Note how little Allen doesn't have his Innocence in the last panel. What the fuck does this mean Hoshino.)

Allen looks perhaps 4-5 in both of these panels. If Past!Junior died over 19 years ago and Allen aged linearly since then, then he would have to be 23+ by now. Even considering the possibility that he aged back to an infant, he he should be 19+ by now and he looks barely over 17.

We can assume that he must've aged in a somewhat even fashion once he joined the circus because otherwise the performers would've commented on it at some point of time.

What happened in the years between Junior dying and little Allen getting into the circus? Was he in a child's body till he acquired his Innocence? How did he even acquire his Innocence in the first place?

There's also a final possibility that came to me while I was writing this post— Lavi was born while Past!Junior was still alive. He was born with the 'mark' because Past!Junior was no longer fit to be a Junior. I genuinely have no idea how Hoshino will explain this. Will it be some sort of corruption? Memory loss? Chronic illness?

All of them seem equally unlikely options at this point. But so did the possibility of Allen and Bookman Jr. being different people before this chapter :)

Either ways, this was a very intriguing chapter and I'm looking forward to whatever Hoshino has in store for us.

[aletterinthenameofsanity]

the thing about writing fanfic is that is indulgent and it is full of fan service and that is GOOD. i am crawling into characters' mindsets and pulling out character development and complex arcs and making them kiss each other and dropping all of the unsubtle references and allusions to mythology in the process and tormenting them in order to give them catharsis and y'all EAT THAT SHIT UP (but as a writer SO DO I)
