This lovely art from @aerequets really aligned with one of my HCs about how Yor's past will be revealed to us:
The three of them unexpectedly meet at one mission. Maybe Twilight was trying to find information, Yor was doing her mission, and Yuri was suspecting something fishy at the SSS higher ups. Or something like that
After the first commotion, which somehow resolved quickly because the three of them coorperate, Yuri aim his gun towards Twilight, full with hatred because this man bertrayed his sister. Twilight was full with guilt. And Yor felt her world crumble because the two most important men in her world were not what she think they were.
Nevertheless, Yor tried to separate them. And yet both men were so stubborn.
They were so focused into their fight that they didn't realized reinforcement came, until Yor step up in front of them and was severely injured protecting them.
Both men finally direct their anger towards the reinforcement whose goals was to eliminate any eye witness.
Fierce battle ensues, but of course our heroes managed to survive (barely, in Yor's case).
Twilight and Yuri then cooperate and rush to help the most important woman in their life.
Twilight told Yuri to find transportation, while he tried his best to stop his wife's profuse bleeding.
Yor gently held his hand, and whispered, "Don't abandon Anya..." which Twilight's responded with, "No. I will never." And in his desperation he told her that he will finally took a holiday from his job, and they will go to the apple festival at neighbour town (or any other family activity), which Yor responded with, "I'd love that."
Twilight smiled and warned his wife to take a deep breath cause his next action would hurt like hell.
And indeed it was.
The bleeding slowed down but enduring the pain was too much for weakened Yor and she passed out.
Twilight bit his lips to stop himself from crying, when he hugged and covered his wife with his jacket, whispering, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry....I'm sorry...."
Yuri came with functional vehicle and all of them rushed to medical facility.
At the hospital / hidden medical facility (maybe WISE's), Twilight was sitting, waiting with 'dead look' on his face. (For once he cannot do anything. For once all he can do was sit and wait.)
Yuri shoved a cup of hot coffee in front of his face, and said "My sister is strong. She managed to survive injury this severe back then, of course she will survive again this time."
Twilight was shocked to hear that. And we get a bit of Yor's flashback via Yuri's POV.
Little Yuri was sitting at the side of his sister's hospital bed. At that time he was told that Yor got an accident during her job/being mugged etc. And little Yuri cried his tears of joy when Yor finally opened her eyes. He took care of her. And after she finally able to stand back on her feet, Yuri studied extra hard, and got accepted at the Uni at 14 y.o.
Twilight was surprised to hear the story.
The doctor came out and tell the men that Yor has survived her surgery, and will be closely monitored at the ICU.
Just when Twilight want to see her, Handler came and asked him to finish the interrupted mission. So he went with several WISE agents.
He succeed in finishing the mission, and returned to the hospital.
Upon entering Yor's room, he saw Yuri snoring at the sofa. Anya curled at Yor's side. And his wife was sleeping with so many monitor cables, IV lines, oxygen mask attached to her.
He carefully held her hand and whispered, "Yor, please come back to us. To me."
Yor was dreaming about her past. When she was living happily during childhood, Yuri's birth, her parent's death. Her survival during her first years after her parent's death. Her meeting Garden. Her harsh training. Her first kill. (All of these will make our heart shatters without a doubt 😭💔💔)
And during her harshest days, she will always remembered her father's words, "Remember the warmth of your family. Your home."
Her father's words still echoing when Yor finally opened her eyes.
She looked around and deduced that apparently she was still alive. Especially since she can feel the warmth around her.
At the sofa, Yuri was sleeping soundly. Curled right next to her was Anya. And the one holding her hand was her husband.
She smiled, and with all the power she had at the time, she carressed her husband's hand with her thumb.
Loid jolted awake. And in his disoriented state, his eyes widen, and come close to his wife, whispered, "Yor?"
Yor rasped, "I'm..... home...."
Loid cried out of happines, and kissed her saying, "Welcome home." (And we will be bawling hard over this panel for sure 😭😭😭😭)

Do you know that kind of people who...
...ask newly married couples: "When are you having a baby?" Or if you already have a kid, "when are you having a second one?"
The kind of people that say: "You should kiss your wife more! I never see you two kiss. I kiss my wife all the time!"
You know...the kind of people who would make a fake marriage nervous 😏 ...
Somehow Anya's grandparents make me think of these kind of people.
Tumblr media
But only time will tell...
I'm so happy Anya has more people to support her and protect her. She's slowly getting a whole family! She has a mom and dad, a pup, two uncles, one godmother (Handler) and now grandparents. Good for her! (Maybe a baby brother or sister one day? 👶)
So about the Authens...
They seem to be the real deal; meaning not spies, but a real couple, who have gone through tick and thin together. My view is that in this SxF universe, the Authens may represent the truth.
And what does truth do to lies? It exposes it!
It's not a coincidence that the Authens are an old couple. It makes sense: they have seen a great deal, they know the world, they have experienced it, so they also probably know a lot.
The fact that Mr. Authen has memory problems is typical of someone his age, but it's also a metaphor of the truth: With time (age) it gets murky, truth starts to be forgotten, humans get a "bad memory" of past events and are doomed to repeat them. Sounds familiar?
Tumblr media
Now, going back to the dynamic of the Authens with our dear Forgers. My guess is that this elderly couple is going to see right through them. After living for so long, they probably know people do crazy things to stay safe from authoritarian regimes like the one Ostania is living in. That includes entering a fake marriage.
Nevertheless, just like they could probably figure out Loid and Yor are a fake couple, they will also see that the love and care between them is real. Hence all the uncomfortable questions that could or could not happen.
It's all part of exposing the truth and the truth is that even though those two are not together for real (for now) they do love each other.
I can't wait to see Twilight and Yor getting extremely uncomfortable!
Also, since neither Twilight nor Yor grew up in a family with a healthy marriage (we don't know anything about Yor's parents and Twilight's parents didn't get along), the Authens can be that example for them.
It'll be nice for them to know what a good marriage looks like, how nice is to have someone who supports you, loves you and is with you through thick and thin. And this could be the way Mr. Authen pays back Yor and Anya: by helping them keep their family.
Tumblr media
If we enter specifics (and since a public display of affection was shown in the last panel), Yor could see that physical affection is not something to feel embarrassed about, but something to cherish and to show love to her spouse. Twilight, on the other hand can learn it's okay to let your guard down with the person you love and that it's okay to lean on Yor. Look at all the Forgers already learning from this lovey dovey couple 😆
Tumblr media
One more thing, SxF is full of foils and I believe this old couple is a foil of what Twilight and Yor could be in the future (if they do things right). After living a long life together, they still love each other. Wouldn't it be nice for them to see themselves reflected in the Authens? Wouldn't it be nice for them to start wanting exactly that?

... hi, it's me again ʕ⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴥ⁠ꈍ⁠ʔ i'm on finals week so i need a heavy dose of daydreaming with my comfort characters. can i request some hc (or an escenario, again whichever you prefer) about law helping the reader to study for an exam? maybe his reaction to the reader thinking that their grade wasn't good enough after taking the test? (great score, not the full mark) thank you sm ! i love your writing and i hope you have a great week and take proper rests mwah .⁠。⁠*⁠♡
Oof, finals week is always a doozy :( you've got this bb, I'm hoping that you got wonderful scores!!
[Heads up!: modern!au, fluff, comfort!]
Tumblr media
You've been studying for weeks. Hours upon hours spent poring over your notes and text books, making flashcards and begging Law to help you review them, make sure that your grasp of the content was solid.
Highlighter stained fingers and paragraph after paragraph ㅡ burning the midnight oil until you can't keep your eyes open any longer. Law helps where he can, both in studying (he even drags out some of his old notes) and in making sure that you don't turn this into a detriment to your health.
("I'm not just your boyfriend," he intones as he more or less pushes you towards the bed, "I'm also a doctor. And I don't want you to pass out, so bed. Now.")
And ultimately, you have a good feeling that all of your hardwork will pay off ㅡ you're a good student, you pay attention, you ask questions when you need to.
It feels like a slap to the face when your score doesn't reflect that. At first you think you've read it wrong, trace it with a finger and mouth it to yourself ㅡ and then disappointment slams into you like a lead weight.
With yourself, with the material, even your professor (who, oddly enough, is one of the sweeter people you've had for a class) ㅡ it isn't fair.
You tried. You tried so hard ㅡ and it still isn't enough.
Law's first warning that things aren't okay is the fact that you don't answer your cellphone when he tries to call and ask what you want for dinner. The second is that the lights are off in your shared apartment, something that never happens (both of you have odd sleep schedules even when things are normal and there is almost always a light on somewhere) ㅡ and that he can't find you.
Your shoes are at the door, jacket hung up, along with your keys ㅡ you're home, but where is the question.
With limited space, there is only a handful of places you can be and when he sees you're not in the room that doubles as both a study and his office, he checks the bedroom.
Yor back is to him and were it not for the tremble of your shoulders, he'd think you were asleep. But you're not, you're crying and his heart sinks.
"[Name]," he says as he approaches, coaxing you up and into his arms, "why are you crying?"
It takes a minute or two for you to answer, sniffling as you take a shuddering breath. "Got the results of the exam back."
Law frowns. "And?" He prompts gently, wiping at your face, tear tracks cooling on your skin. He watches you, the tremble of your lips as you tell him your score, and his frown deepens. "That isn't that bad," he says, "that's only a couple points off."
"But I studied my ass off, Law!" Frustration colors your tone. "I worked so hard to ace that exam and it doesn't feel like I did enough."
Law understands the need for perfection, for everything to have a place and for nothing to be subpar ㅡ but he also knows how detrimental that can be for both your self-esteem and your overall health.
"You didn't do anything wrong," Law says, cradling your face gently. "You're still on the higher end of score for that exam, [Name]. And you can always ask your professor where she docked points and why."
Law has a point, and you sniffle before you press into him, sighing as he rubs your back. "You're right. I'm sorry for crying, that's stupid."
"No, it isn't." Law chides gently. "But these past few weeks have been stressful for you. I brought home dinner, and I can start a bath for you after, if you'd like."
You press a soft kiss to his shoulder. "Can we cuddle after?"
"Of course."
You hum, letting yourself cling to your boyfriend a little longer. "Sounds perfect."

part 1 part 2 part 3
pairing: werewolf!lee know x reader
Warning: fluff, werewolf au/soulmate au
How ironic was it? You always thought that Minho was cold, not even having any emotions, and extremely grumpy. But after he brought you home, you wasn't sure anymore. Well, he could have just let you walk through the cold rain but he ran to you and helped you not getting completely soaked. He even gave you his jacket.
It seemed like he cared. He does have emotions but he just doesn't show them to everyone. And that made it even more precious to you that he showed you that side.
The next day after Minho had brought you to your home, you wanted to finish the project because you must present your results on monday. You contacted him via his number he gave you in the library. Since it was weekend, you two decided to meet at a local café in the afternoon and not in the college.
Honestly, you were a little bit nervous to meet him there. Would it look like a date? What should you wear?
An hour later, you arrived at the small café and saw Minho already sitting at a table. With a shy smile you approached him and sat in front of him. His facial expressions cold like always. Maybe you were wrong and he was indeed always closed off. But yesterday he was so caring for you. Maybe you just need to patient.
While Minho had his expression under control, in him was a storm. Since you walked in with that cute smile, his inner wolf acted crazy. It drove him insane. And gosh. You were so pretty in your common look, a sweater and black jeans.
His wolf wanted to appear on the surface and he did everything he could to stop him. Just this one meeting with you and then he could hold his distance again. Before he couldn't hold himself back to fall for you.
"Shall we start?" You said and he just nodded, opening his books.
....
After hours of silently working next to eachother, only talking a small amount, it was finally done. You just need to present it and then you were done.
Minho confused you.
During the whole time he was distant and only spoke when he must. But you saw that sometimes his eyes turned a little bit brighter and his expressions softened only to become cold once again. It seemed like he was in an inner conflict.
You packed everything back into your backpack and payed for your coffee that you drank during your time there. It was already dark outside, so you wanted to get home as soon as you could. You said goodbye to each other and started your walk home.
You were nearly home when you saw two men coming towards you. You held your head down and sped up. As you went past them, you could feel their eyes on you and one calls out to you. "Hey Sweetie, wanna join us?"
The other one laughs and yor breath hitches. You nearly ran away from them but you heard their fast footsteps behind you. "Why are you running away, darling? Don't you wanna have some fun?" They said and cornered you.
You tried to flee but there was no chance. You shook as you heard another person coming in your direction.
"Leave her alone." A low voice growled animalistic. Literally. Like a wolf or a dog. At first you didn't remember his voice. But as his face was lighted by the streetlight, you didn't believe your eyes. It was Minho.
His eyes seemed bright. The brown colour was now golden, you could swear. But maybe it was just the bad light and the fear to see things that aren't reality.
"Yeah? And what are you? Her saviour in shining armour?" One of these men joked and turned to you again. His smell reached your nose and you scrunched it because his breath smelled like alcohol.
"I said. Let her alone now" Minho snarled with a calm voice but there was definitely a threat behind it.
As the man wanted to touch your hair, Minho grabbed his hand at a unnatural pace and turned it hurtful. Minho punched him in the face and let him stumble backwards. Both men didn't risk anything and ran away staggering.
Immediately, Minho turned to you. A careful look on his face as he searched for any wounds. Just then your legs gave out and you sank together.
He was already by your side and let you bury your head against his chest while the tears wet his sweater. "It's okay, y/n. I'm here. I'll protect you" he mumbled.
Fortunately, he had found you. After leaving the café, his inner wolf was nervous. He didn't want to leave your side. It was hard to control it, especially when the full moon was this week and his wolf became stronger and stronger these days.
After five minutes, his wolf side went suddenly berserk. Without knowing he swirled around and ran in the direction where your apartment was.
As he saw you in that corner with these two idiots nearly all over you. Something in him switched. Maybe it was his mate bond but a possessiveness took over and the sudden urge to protect you.
He closed his arms around you and he layed his head on top of yours while instinctively rubbing his chin over it. Without even noticing, he scented you not only to leave his smell on you so that every other wolf knew that you belonged to him but also to calm himself and his inner wolf.
He wouldn't believe it but he heard his inner wolf purr at the physical touch with his mate. He never purred before.
After some time, you calmed down. "Come, Y/n. I bring you home" he said and helped you up. It was only a two minutes walk where both of you were silent. You still tried to process what just happened and Minho could literally see your thoughts swirling in your head. But he didn't say anything, not wanting to interrupt you.
In front of your door, he stopped. " Thanks Minho. You saved me from these guys. I owe you something" you said while your voice was still sore from all the crying. "It's alright Y/n. Rest well." He reassured and said goodbye.
....
Since that day, Minho was always on your mind. You wanted to thank him for saving you from these crazy boys. So, after a successful presentation, you asked him if you could buy him lunch this evening.
Minho didn't expect that. He still doesn't want you as a mate. That wouldn't change. Right? He tried to find a lame excuse but you managed to get him agreeing.
The rest of his day, he was nervous. Constantly thinking about your meal together after his last class at 4:30 pm.
You already waited for him outside the classroom, talking to a guy he often saw you with. And then it hit him. Maybe you had a boyfriend. That never came up to his mind. Was that your boyfriend?
But the more important question was: why didn't he like this thought of you being in love? He wasn't interested in you. Yeah, you were a simple friend, a normal classmate and nothing more. Even if you were his mate. He doesn't need you.
As you saw Minho walking towards you, you bid goodbye to the other boy and smiled at the wolf in front of you. "Your boyfriend?" He asked with knitted brows and cold expressions on his face. You snorted and your smile grew wider.
"No, ew. He is like a brother to me".
He exhaled the air he didn't notice he held. "Alright. What do you want to eat?"
He didn't need to think about that. There was that beautiful restaurant near the campus where the food was great. With his pack, he ate there every once in a while.
So, he guided you to that restaurant. During your walk, you didn't talk that much but it was a comfortable silence between you. You just enjoyed each others presence.
He held the door open for you and followed you to a table for two. He already knew what he wanted to eat, so he could admire his view. You being the view.
Your hair was messy like always after long classes but it was rather sweet. They looked just puffy and like they couldn't be tamed. Like you, he thought.
As the waiter took your orders, you two held an easy conversation and chatted about everything and anything. It was like Minho was the same man in the rain or on the street that evening. There was the loving and caring side of him but also the cold one where he would hide his emotions behind a facade. You liked both sides. Both of them belonged to him and made him so much more interesting and individual.
And you loved every smile that he gave you. When you told him something funny about your childhood, he giggled and you liked that sound. It made you fell safe. Like coming home. And that confused you. You barely knew him but it felt like you two have known each other for over a decade.
....
The dinner was perfect and he walked you home. You were still angry at him because he didn't let you pay for it. It should be a 'thank you' for him but instead he pulled his card out and gave it to the waiter before you even noticed that the waiter came to you. Of course you felt bad because you were supposed to pay for it.
But he was stubborn. Even after he paid, you wanted to give him the money he spend but he refused with a small smirk and you pouting.
You talked so much in that time and you only realised once more that you liked Minho. With every second he was with you, you admired him more and more. You didn't want to admit it but maybe, just maybe, you had a little crush on that sweet boy next to you.
The walk back to your apartment was short, to short for your liking and soon you two stood in front of your door. Nervous, you played with your fingers. You didn't know what to say. Should you invite him in? No, that was too much. You just kept looking at him and he kept looking at you.
His eyes wandered all around your face, once in a while stopping at your mouth but only for a second or two. Without even noticing he slowly leaned forward, hypnotized by how you wet your lips with your tongue.
Your eyes were on his perfect lips and you also reduced the small distance between you. Your breath hitched and you already felt his warm breath on your lips.
You overcame the last few centimetres that separated you from each other and crashed your lips against his. Slowly, you moved your lips in a rhythm and you slipped a hand into Minho's soft hair, pushing you two more together.
In that moment, Minho felt just joy and desire for you. You were just a girl and he a simple boy that fell for you. Without a mate bond and being a werewolf. Your smell was wrapped around him, making him wanting to smell nothing but you, just you. He leaned more into your passionate kiss, turning it into a heated one.
His inner wolf purred because he loved to be this intimate with his mate. It was like pure heaven.
But suddenly everything came back all at once. You weren't just a girl, no, you were his mate. The mate that he never wanted. He hated you. He was just attracted to you because of the mate bond. Yes, that was it. Nothing more.
He pulled back harshly, making you stumble before you catched yourself. You looked confused at the boy in front of you while you still tried to catch your breath. The loving expression was nowhere to be seen. Instead there was that cold one again. The walls that you started to torn down where already pulled up once more.
" Minho, is everything alright?" You asked with a thin voice. "Yeah, no. I-uhm. I will go home now" He said uninterested like you didn't kiss a few seconds ago. You already expected a rejection because of his facial expressions afterwards but really hearing it pained your heart.
Yet, he was nearly running away from you. "Minho!" You yelled and followed him. "I'm so sorry that I kissed you. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable around me."
He kept avoiding your gaze and just nodded before he continued to walk away, leaving you at your porch.
...
Fuck. He fucked up royally. He should have himself under control. That kiss was something that should not have happened. Now it will be even more difficult to ignore and avoid you. He opens the door to the pack house and slammed it shut behind him.
As he walked through the living room to walk up the stairs to his room, he was stopped by Han.
"And? How was your first date with Y/n?" Han asked as he wiggled with his eyebrows. "It wasn't a date, Han. She just thanked me for helping her"
"Definitely. Come on, did you kiss?"
"How comes that you even know about our meeting?" Minho snarled as he wanted to change the topic.
"Well, I saw you walking away with her. Like a lovesick puppy following his owner" Han answered, ignoring the annoyed tone of his best friend.
"I'm not a lovesick puppy!" Minho called out. He just felt emotionally drained and wanted nothing more than this day to be over.
"Yeah, anyway. Did you kiss?" His best friend asked once again. Apparently Minho found his fingers way more interesting than Han.
Immediately, Han knew what was going on. "You really kissed her! I'm so happy for you" He grinned widely but stopped as he saw his unhappy expressions.
"Minho, isn't that a good thing? Are you not happy?"
"No! Obliviously not! I don't like her. It's just because of the bond that I fell a pull towards her." The wolf shouted and sat on the couch, rubbing his eyes.
"Is that really the reason why you deny it? You think it's only the mate bond?"
"Of course it is!"
Han sighed and shook his head. His best friend can be so stubborn sometimes.
....
The following days, Minho avoided you. Wherever you are he would bring so much distance between you as possible. In class, he sat on the other corner of the room and as soon as the class was over, he stormed out without looking back.
It hurt you, definitely. Maybe you shouldn't have kissed him. It was a terrible idea. Maybe it was too soon for bringing this intimacy in your relationship. It definitely wasn't your intention to chase him away. It just felt right in that moment and now you couldn't believe how dumb you were. He just saw you as a friend and you interpreted it terribly wrong.You are ashamed from your own actions.
And the worst is that you don't know how you should interact with him now.
....
You just checked where your next class was, when you suddenly bumped into someone. You quickly apologised and collected the papers from the ground that must have fallen down.
"I'm so sorry. I-" you stopped mid sentence as you realised who you walked into.
"Minho..."
His expressions cold as always. "It's okay Y/n"
He said calmly as he already turned around to leave. You grabbed his his jacket lightly before he could leave. "I'm sorry. For the kiss. I shouldn't have done it. It wasn't my intention to hurt you or make you feel uncomfortable"
"It's okay Y/n" he said again. As if there wasn't that big silence between you. Like it was a completely normal talk between classes.
You nodded and let go of his jacket. "I-uhm I need to go to my next class. So bye" you answered quickly and ran to the next classroom.
Minho just watched you leave. His inner wolf growled at him for ignoring his mate that way. But he couldn't care less. The less you were around him the better. The better he could force himself not to like you.
Weeks passed like that. Just small conversations here and there. You realised that you need to forget about your feelings for him. Shutting them out and throw away the key. In the meantime you met new friends in college.
Weeks ago you had met Wooyoung in the library. You will never forget how he just placed himself next to and gave you the biggest smile you had ever seen. He introduced himself as Wooyoung and immediately started talking about his homeworks. You just smiled while focusing back on your book. Since then, he literally followed you everywhere just like a sweet, but confident, puppy with so much energy. But you liked it.
One day, he introduced you to his friend group and now they seem to have adopted you. They were like one big family and chaotic as hell. You loved their silly nature.
Still, you spend the most time with Woo as he was like a best friend to you. At first, his love giving character scared you but you became used to the man that was literally glued to your hip.
Minho on the other hand didn't like your relationship with that boy. He and his friends were another bunch of werewolves and hated that Wooyoung was so clingy. Whenever Minho was in your near, your smell was almost completely suppressed by the other wolf's scent. It drove him insane.
His instincts nearly forced him to bring you closer to him, scent you and to mark you as his. But that would mean that he would accept you as mate.
After the mark, that would forever be on your skin, you two were bound together till death. It's like a marriage but it lasts for the eternity.
...
Right now, you sat on you favourite place in the library with Woo glued to your side while you studied for the upcoming exam. You just smiled as he cuddled closer to you, leaning his head on your should.
"What's up with that guy?" He said as he looked around. You looked up and Woo nodded to the left where Minho read calmly in a book.
"Oh, that's Lee Minho. You might know him. We have some classes together. Why?" You asked and turned your attention back to your work.
Woo moved closer to your ear. "Because he keeps staring at us. And doesn't look like he enjoyed his view." "Really?" You questioned and knitted your brows.
"Would looks kill then I will be six feet under right know. I think he is jealous" Woo stated and that confused you more.
"Why should he be jealous?" You spoke your thoughts out loud while glancing to the left.
"We'll see" Before you could ask what Wooyoung meant with that he placed his lips against your cheek and kissed it. Instantly, you turned red with wide eyes. But Woo just smirked and watched Minho's reaction.
Minho clenched his fists. It should be him next to you. Him. Not that puppy that touched something that isn't his. Minho swallowed a snarl and quickly packed all his things to sprint out of the library. His inner wolf was wild.
He couldn't spend any more seconds in that hell. He felt sick. Why did he push you away that night? Why? Just because he was afraid that you just loved him because of the bond? Yeah he was dump back then. But now Wooyoung replaced him, just because he neglected you. And the worst thing is that he couldn't blame you. He himself would have given up a long time ago.
...
"He definitely is jealous, sweetie." Woo stated with a smirk. "Yeah and extremely angry. I should look after him" You said and ran after him. "Go get him, sweetie!" Your best friend yelled and laughed. Instantly, he was scolded for being too loud.
You sprinted through the hallway and kept looking for the man you loved.
And there he was, walking with hastily steps to the entrance. "Minho!" You yelled and catched up to him. Your breath was uneven from not being used to running. Maybe you should go to the gym more. You placed your hand on his arm to get him to stop. His whole body was tense and in his eyes was that storm and fire but also hurt.
"Minho I-" Before you could even finish that sentence he cupped your cheeks with his warm hands and pressed his soft lips against yours. The kiss was hard and full of unspoken feelings. Your hands sneaked around his waist to pull him even closer.
After some time you broke your kiss to breath again. He layed his forehead against yours and looked you deep into the eyes while his brown hair tickled you.
"Y/n, I'm so sorry that I didn't realised it before" He whispered against your lips and caressed your skin with his thumbs.
"It's okay" You said and leaned in to get another kiss.

Something a bit more important than fandom, give it a read please. It is an issue that has been bothering me to the point of serious emotional distress for years.
Not related to ER but since I have hundreds of people following me here, I thought I'd share an article that is about the moral cost of cats in regards to birds. Much like other social media sites, tumblr also treats cats in a cult-like way, so I think reading something like this is essential for everyone. It is an excellently written article about a scientist and their fight against birds constantly going extinct BECAUSE of cats and irresponsible owners.
I am also sad about constantly seeing that every time someone brings this topic up, cat owners who can behave like they are part of a cult, immediately start acting vile and throwing death threats. So imagine thinking you, as a cat owner, are the victim when birds and small mammals are losing this fight every single day with a lot of species going extinct as we speak because of the very people who don't want to hear the truth. It baffles me that they say they like animals so much, especially cats, but at the same time, when other people who see the whole picture and are actually animal lovers who love more than just cats and dogs are suddenly their main enemies? How does that make sense? Once again I wish I could express myself better but English is not my mother tongue.
I can bring my own experience into this as well, I live in a country where cats outside are in such amounts that is is straight up just a pest issue - cats being the pests. I see how in the last 10 years, a booming blackbird population where I live went down to basically seeing one blackbird a year. I live next to a huge lake that is supposedly a national park type deal where birds are protected, and yet, on the street I live in that is right next to the lake, there are at least 3 outdoors cats per house, doing irreversible harm to the birds in the lake area. There is one person who owns 17 outdoors cats whose cats not only hunt for birds all day, but also baby chickens in neighbours' yards. When confronted, the owner said he doesn't care. Don't forget that cats kill for fun and sport! And there are no laws or anything to fight this, and I feel completely helpless because birds are essential.
I would make it mandatory for everyone to care for an injured bird that was hurt by a cat. And try to nurse them back to life, just to put things into perspective. I've been doing just that almost every summer in the past several years. It's heartbreaking. And I don't have options because the only bird hospital is across the country from where I live. So I have to rely on myself and the short training I had in bird emergency.
And knowing that a lot of cat (and dog) owning for the most part comes down to people being emotially stunted and refusing to see how harmful their pets are is just incredibly sad and also infuriating. Because that is the truth of it. The hypocrisy is wild. And it is a losing battle, especially since social media has been a thing for the past decade or so. It's much worse now. So if you like birds, please read the article. If you are a diehard cat owner who thinks everyone else is wrong, also read the article. Maybe you will see where the scientists and people who care for more animals than cats are coming from.
Also, I am really bad at confrontation and fights generally, so I will not tolerate any vile comment or addition on this post that will start to pick a fight. The energy you would use to fight me would have better use if use used it to keep yor outdoors cats inside. And maybe if it was used to actually help animals instead of hoarding them. This post for now is also for my followers only, so no reblogs. But even if 2 people read this post and the article, that's good news for me.
And also just to try to describe how I (and other people who love birds) feel: imagine this made-up scenario where the birds are the cats. You love cats more than anything, they have been going steadily extinct because of an animal that is a popular pet. You love cats but this other animal that is a popular pet is killing cats for fun. And the owners of this other popular pet think it is super cute how their pets are killing your favourite animals that are going extinct. And you can't bring up this topic ever, because the popular pet type that has been killing your fave animal is so so popular that people will gank you via comments and real life for it, no matter what. Now THAT is what fighting for birds and small mammals feels like when we try to bring this topic up with cat owners.
And if you unfollow me for this, good riddance. Just know that before you think you are the victim for people pointing out how harmful cats are, you are actively harming the environment and are responsible for birds and small mammals going extinct - because you are responsible for your cat. Cats by themselves wouldn't be an issue if it was a natural setting, without the human part, but it isn't. Humans are hoarding cats, so their ratio compared to birds is outlandishly big and unnatural. In no natural setting would cats be this rampant without the hoarding aspect. Humans hoarding cats and being irresponsible are the issue. And you can marinate in that after you unfollowed me.
For the rest of you who I reached with this post, thank you for reading. And I know this is not a fandom topic, but it is extremely important to me. And it should be extremely important to way more people. It is a global issue. It is always wild to see the lengths so called environmentalist go into to fight people about recycling and veganism, but hoarding killing machines somehow is acceptable to these very same people. Extend that cat (and dog) loving to other animals as well. Also, hoarding animals will not fix your emotional / psychological problems. It will only distract. There are less environmentally harmful ways for distraction.

I did read the recent SxF chapter, I’m glad it’s mention Yuri again but seems like the plot didn’t want to 🥲 but interesting it’s focus on studying motivation.
Tumblr media
I don’t know if chapter 92 parallel to chapter 26 and 27. But the “study motivation” has been bringing up before. And Yuri has been trying to giving Anya study motivation (by explaining his past) from “knowledge is power” to “ knowledge is chihuahua”. And this parallel to grandpa want to earn more knowledge,too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter 26/27 is my most favorite because Anya could not used her mind reading power and was using her actual efforts to passed her test without cheating. Although she didn’t get high scores, but this is the small 1st step for her development.
Tumblr media
Chapter 26 is the main reason I love Yuri character and actually change my mind about him. He has always introduced as antagonist before,but his study motivation is proving he’s not a bad person. Just sadly was brainwashed by government. ( I have been making a thread of why Yuri was brainwashed by government before )
And he did actually motivate Anya too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
However just like Loid,Yuri also doesn’t know to have fun as a kid. Yuri never playing’going out with kids in his ages and just focus on studying so that he would never waste Yor effort to raising him. And Loid has to face the “world” by preparing his knowledge after the trauma.
Tumblr media
I think it will starting to center Anya origins soon so the grandparents characters will have some involved, especially the classic language. I’m sorry to keep rambling about Yuri but with lacking of his bonding chapter with Anya recently I just want to see him tutor her again🥲
Also want to point out that Yuri can actually read Anya handwritings since chapter 26 ( and it’s mention again in lightnovel) I don’t know it will be mentioned again in manga but I hope it can be an important part later 🤔

green envy, silver tongue
ao3
rating: G
genres: fluff, humor
summary: But for someone like her, who messed up so often, and couldn’t do basic things required of a grown woman…
Well, she’d complain about herself too. It still didn’t make it hurt any less.
Or: Yor goes to Loid's workplace, and can't get what Fiona said all that time ago out of her mind.
a/n: I keep thinking about how in chapter 30 fiona was straight up lying about loid complaining about yor at work. I know loid reassured yor at the end of that whole arc about her capabilities and him wanting her to stay in the family and whatnot but like. For all we know yor is still out here thinking loid complains about her at work!! IT BUGS MEEEE so i was thinking what would happen if loid found out, and this happened. 
Anyways i literally spent all day working on a dang essay and i told myself i would go to sleep but instead i just started writing MORE STUFF and it’s so late now gosh its 2 am. Enjoy LOL
.
Yor gazed up at the incriminating hospital building and gulped, the paper bag in her grip crinkling. She had to consciously remind herself to ease up before she pulverized Loid’s lunch in her hands and rendered her whole trip useless.
Hospitals were bad enough on their own. Yor had a ritual of avoiding them ever since she’d taken up her assassin job to avoid doctors prodding at her scars and other dubious markings, which was all to say that it had been a terribly long time since she’d gone near one for herself. But she felt like even if she weren’t an assassin—which was a very fat if— she would still have the urge to leave Loid’s forgotten lunch by the door and hightail it out of there.
Which would be terribly rude and unseemly of any ordinary wife, so… this was for the best. She would go inside, even though it was Loid’s workplace, which meant it was Fiona’s workplace, which meant…
‘Dr Forger often complains about that at work. He grumbles that his wife is always—'
Which meant that it was the workplace of all the employees who, no doubt, knew her as some incompetent woman undeserving of someone like Loid.
She sucked in a breath through her teeth and swiftly turned around, pacing in circles. A nearby grandma looked on dubiously, scooting back on her bench. In other circumstances Yor would be more conscious of the image she was projecting, but at that moment it was a fine line between her thoughts and Loid’s lunch crinkling closer and closer to one dense ball of mass in her white-knuckled fists.
Loid had already assured her that she would stay as the Forger mother for the sake of their cover, that Fiona was no real threat. That was all well and fine, even if Yor felt an uncomfortable twisting in her heart at some moments for no apparent reason. It was fine. But that didn’t change the fact that, apparently, Loid had complaints about her that he voiced at work. And honestly, she couldn’t even blame him. People (as in, mostly her own coworkers) often said that work was for complaining about home and vice versa, and Yor knew she would definitely complain about Loid… if she ever had any reason to. As it stood, he was essentially the perfect man in every way—an objective fact, she wasn’t being biased or anything—so she never had anything to voice. But for someone like her, who messed up so often, and couldn’t do basic things required of a grown woman…
Well, she’d complain about herself too. It still didn’t make it hurt any less. She groaned and squatted down on the sidewalk, hugging the lunch to her chest. The grandma staunchly got up and walked away, and Yor sighed.
She was afraid to go inside and hear what his coworkers would say upon seeing her. Probably the same things Camilla and the girls had often said to her in the past, if they were any indication of what normal people would think: How did someone like you bag someone like him? How much are you paying him? Are you threatening him?
(Nevermind that Yor could easily threaten anyone into doing anything for her—she wouldn’t.)
She sighed and looked up at the building once again. Already ten minutes had passed since she’d arrived at the hospital. She could have been in and out by now. Instead, here she was, agonizing over yet-to-happen interactions with people whose faces she didn’t even know.
Argh, get it together, Yor! She slapped her cheeks and sprung up with a renewed vigor. That was right—none of these people had met her yet. If they had any preconceived notions of her, this was her chance to dispel them. To prove to them what a stellar wife she was—even if she wasn’t actually. Doing so would strengthen the Forger family front. At the very least, she would be protecting herself from the SSS! That’s right—do this for the sake of your assassin job! Do this to protect Anya, Loid, and Bond! With this new conviction, Yor finally marched up the steps to the hospital and opened the door.
There wasn’t much fanfare—it was exactly as she had expected, even if she hadn’t been to a hospital ever since a young Yuri had fallen badly that one time ages ago. The hospital was fancier than any she had been in before, and no doubt bigger, but the atmosphere was the same. The same smell of antiseptics hung in the air that lingered around Garden warehouses, too, the only difference being a lack of the cloying perfume of flowers. Yor headed to the front desk, a little timid but mostly holding it together. She kept repeating the same mantra in her head— do it for your job, do it for your family!— and hastily tried to smooth out the wrinkles in her skirt as she approached the receptionist.
“Hello, how may I help you today?” The lady at the front desk asked politely upon seeing her. Yor admired the perfect application of lipstick on the bow of her upper lip for a second before replying.
“Um, hello. I’m here to drop off my husband’s lunch. He left it at home. He’s Loi—uh, Doctor Forger…?”
The perfectly lipsticked mouth dropped open in a little gasp. “Oh, my! You’re Yor Forger?”
A spike of anxiety staked through Yor’s heart at those words. Even the receptionist knew about her? “Ah. Yes, that’s me…”
“My. You’re lovelier than I thought!”
“I know you may have heard some things about me, but I—wait, what?” Yor blinked. She discreetly turned around to see if perhaps there was a different Yor Forger behind her that the receptionist was referring to. “Lovely? Me?”
The lady laughed. “Demure, too! Your husband’s office is on the fourth floor, room 806B. The lunch hour is just about to start, so you’re right on time.”
“Um… right,” Yor replied, feeling a little lightheaded. “Thank you very much.” She swayed off towards the stairs, head spinning. Was that some kind of concealed jab that she just couldn’t understand? The lady’s face didn’t look smug or snide. She hadn’t laughed either. But Yor just couldn’t make sense of that interaction. Lovely. Demure.
Yor shook her head. She was past it. All she had to do now was deliver this lunch to Loid and get out, ideally without running into anyone.
Of course, she ran into someone right as she rounded the bend after going up one flight of stairs.
The person yelped as they lurched back. Yor’s eyes tracked the arc of coffee that followed the cup that went sailing out of their hand. Without thinking twice, Yor swiftly spun the person behind her to save them from any stray drops of hot coffee. She tossed the bagged lunch to her right hand before using her freed-up left hand to snatch the cup out of the air, following the trail of airborne coffee with its styrofoam mouth. It was over in less than three seconds: The person, bewilderedly blinking up at her from the landing of the second floor, while she stood on the stairs, lunch clutched in one hand and a mostly-full cup perched in the other. Three more seconds were dedicated to stunned silence before Yor hurriedly set the bagged lunch down on one of the steps to hoist the person up.
“I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to run into you,” she flustered, flushed with apology. Darn it, Yor! She’d been lost in thought and almost caused a nasty accident. Upon checking the person for any injuries, she realized from his white coat and name card that he was a doctor. You almost injured a doctor!
“...Goodness,” the man finally said. He adjusted his glasses with an astonished blink. “You have some incredible reflexes, miss!”
“O-oh, it’s nothing really,” Yor fumbled, waving her hands. She was just glad he wasn’t hurt. Or angry. That helped matters. “I’m sorry again. Here’s your coffee.” She handed him the cup, which he took and gazed at as if it were some ancient artifact.
“Please, it was my fault for not watching where I was going,” he replied, a broad smile growing on his face. “Could I get your name, miss?”
“It’s Yor. Yor F-Forger.”
His eyes got wider, if at all possible, before he threw his head back in a short laugh. “Forger, eh? Married to Loid?”
Yor shifted uncomfortably. It seemed like there was nobody that didn’t know her faux husband in this place. Anya had told her after visiting his workplace that ‘Papa is very popular, he makes desperate conneshuns’, but she hadn’t quite processed the extent to which Anya’s words were true until now. “Um, yes. I’m his wife.”
“Gosh, he wasn’t kidding! You really are—” Yor winced in anticipation of his next words. “—incredibly athletic.”
For the second time in nearly as many minutes, Yor did a double take. “Huh?”
“You helped him train for that tennis competition, didn’t you? I’ve personally never heard of such a thing, a work tennis competition,” he tacked on, almost an afterthought as he rubbed his chin. “But regardless, I hear he completely decimated the opposition. You must have whipped him into shape real good!”
“W-what? I didn’t—not really—uh,” Yor said intelligently. Her tongue was failing her. To be fair, what was going on? Either she was even worse at reading social cues than before, or these people were being… nice. They had heard good things about her. But from who?
Certainly not from Loid…? The very thought made her heart skip a beat. He was gentlemanly and no doubt one of the kindest people she knew, but she couldn’t think of any reason he would have to speak good of her, especially when she wasn’t present for him to have to be nice. She was always messing up and causing trouble.
But the doctor in front of her waited, expression open without disgust or amusement. She cleared her throat, suddenly finding it choked up.
“I—thank you, you’re too flattering. I didn’t really do much. Loid did well because of his own skill,” she said. Her face felt warmer by the second. “If you’ll excuse me now, I actually have to deliver him his lunch.”
“Oh, of course. Don’t let me hold you up. I was on my way down for lunch myself,” the doctor said. He bent down and handed Yor the bag she’d left on the step. “Tell Forger I said hello, would you? He sure is a lucky guy.”
Lucky how? Yor thought, but she gratefully accepted the bag from the man nonetheless. “Thank you,” she smiled, before turning around and ascending the stairs (this time on the side closest to the wall). She felt strangely out of breath, though a couple flights of stairs were peanuts compared to her usual physical activity.
Fortunately, Yor made it onto the fourth floor without any mishaps. There were people milling about as they made their way out for lunch, but all she got were polite smiles and nods in her direction. It felt a little surreal. She’d come in expecting a lion’s den, and was instead met with…a pen of cute bunnies?
After a couple minutes, she finally found room 806B. Hoping that Loid was still inside, Yor hesitantly knocked twice on the door.
After a beat, his voice rang out. “Sorry, I’m not seeing any more patients until three o’clock.”
Yor inched the door open. Loid’s back was turned; he was digging through his briefcase, grumbling something under his breath that even her keen ears couldn’t pick out. The door hinge squeaked and he straightened, turning his head just enough to reveal a terse wrinkle between his brows. “I said I’m not seeing—”
The wrinkle smoothed out and his expression shifted into one of surprise as they made eye contact. He quickly turned the rest of the way around. “Yor? What are you doing here?”
“You forgot your lunch,” she replied, finding it hard to meet his eyes. She didn’t see him wearing his white coat often. Keep it together, Yor! “I thought I would bring it to you.”
“You didn’t have to do that,” he said, appreciative. “What about work?”
“My shift doesn’t start until later.” She held out his lunch, trying not to cringe at its bedraggled appearance. He crossed the distance between them and took the bag. Their fingers brushed and she flinched.
“Uh, sorry it’s so wrinkled. Almost had a couple spills, haha! Actually, the one who almost had a spill wasn’t me, it was another gentleman I ran into,” she babbled. “Oh, he actually told me to tell you hi. I think his name was a… mister Clark…?” She faltered, trying to recall the name on his namecard.
“Oh, you met Doctor Clarkson,” Loid said. “Easygoing fellow with the glasses?”
Yor nodded. “That’s the one! Is he your friend?”
“We’re acquainted. He’s a good man,” Loid replied in an easy manner, leaning back onto the table and crossing his ankles. Yor fidgeted, feeling out of place with his grace and white coat and doctor’s office. “Why? Did he say anything to you?”
“Not really, he just mentioned the tennis tournament you won,” Yor responded. “He was surprisingly nice to me.”
Loid laughed, good-natured. He’d begun to open the lunch bag. “Why is that surprising?”
“Oh, you know.” Yor gestured vaguely in an ‘isn’t it obvious?’ manner with  her hands. Loid crooked a brow, pausing with the bag.
“I’m… not sure I do.”
“What? Oh.” Nervousness and embarrassment promptly burned her cheeks. She hadn’t meant to make an offhand comment like that. What if Loid thought she was being passive aggressive? Worse, what if he thought she was attacking his character and decided he didn’t want her as a fake wife anymore?! She could picture the scene with startling clarity:  “After all I do for you, and you’re hung up about some comments I make at work?” Imagination-Loid had a disgusted curl in his lip that Yor had only seen once when he’d stepped in Bond’s poo. “Don’t you know that’s what normal people do? Are you even normal? Get out of my house!”
Yor quickly backtracked. “I-I don’t blame you! This isn’t that. I mean, I totally get it. If it were me, I would do the same thing—I mean, if I were married to me—wait, no, if it were someone like me, and I was someone like you—”
“Wait, wait, Yor,” Loid interrupted, catching her hands—which had been wildly gesticulating— in his own. “I genuinely have no idea what you mean. Why would he not be nice to you?”
Yor stood frozen, searching his face. It was quite close to her own. His hands were large and warm and cupped almost fully around hers, which brought her back to when he’d fake-proposed to her. Despite the fact that they were practically strangers then, and that the circumstances at the time were less than ideal (and also the fact that they were hiding from an explosion behind a dumpster), Yor had never felt more reassured by someone else’s presence before. She’d always had to depend on herself, but to hear him say the vows—even if neither of them meant it—had filled her with a sense of relief.
I’ll be okay. This person understands me. We’re in this together, for better or for worse.
“I can’t do all the things that other wives and mothers do,” she said softly. “And you vent about it at work. I get it, Loid. It’s alright.”
The terse divot between his brows returned. “What? Who told you that?”
“Well… Fiona did. Back when she visited.”
Because their faces were so close, she could see when his nostrils flared for a split second, the minute clenching of his jaw. His hands tightened around her own. He seemed to work something in his mind over several times, opening his mouth and then abruptly stopping. She had never seen him struggle to speak before, eloquent as he was. Word-vomiting was more her forte.
“I don’t know what Fiona told you,” he finally said, a certain bite to his words. “But if she said I speak badly of you, it isn’t true. I’d never—I can’t even think of what I could possibly say. You get that, right, Yor?” He bent his neck, staring into her eyes with a peculiar ferocity, as if her understanding of his point was more important than anything else.
“Oh.” Her arms twitched; she tamped them down with vigor. She was not going to ruin this moment (and possibly Loid’s office) by subconsciously smacking him. “You don’t have to say that. I understand if—”
“No,” he cut in. “I mean it, Yor. I meant it when I said you’re second to none.” His eyes bored into her own. “Okay?”
She could feel the heat flooding her cheeks. The weird choked-up feeling was back in her throat, and when she sniffled, she was horrified to feel congestion in her sinuses. She closed her eyes to save herself some embarrassment and dipped her head. “Right. Yes. Thank you, Loid.”
After a second or two, Loid abruptly pulled his hands back. She opened her eyes to see him pulling at his collar.
“It’s stuffy in here. The ventilation isn’t so good in this wing of the hospital,” he said, unprompted. Yor supposed it explained his reddening ears. “When does your shift start?”
“Oh, in about…” Her eyes drifted to the clock on the wall with a gasp. “Forty five minutes?!” She’d wasted more time dallying outside the hospital than she’d thought! “I’m really sorry—I better hurry home and get ready for work!”
“No worries,” Loid replied. “I’ll walk you out.”
“You don’t have to!” Yor squeaked, but all he sent her in response was a raise of his eyebrows. She figured it wasn’t worth it to argue with him. Besides, the idea of everyone else seeing them together was… kind of nice. Oddly enough. Yor decided not to dwell on it as they headed out. Loid was clearly very well known, as nearly every minute someone would spot him and say hello. And, weirdly enough, whenever that happened, their eyes would shift over to Yor before they said something along similar lines:
“Whoa. Is this the lady of the house, doctor?”
“It’s the esteemed Mrs. Forger.”
“Watch out, folks! Forger couple coming through!”
By the time they reached the ground floor, Loid’s ears were glowing red, decidedly not because of the ventilation. He covered his face with a hand. “Maybe I should have just let you walk out alone,” he groaned. Yor giggled. She was sure her face looked like a fire hydrant, but for some reason none of the comments bothered her. In fact, everyone at this hospital was awfully nice.
“I appreciate that you didn’t,” she grinned. He dropped his hand and turned to face her, and—how could someone look so endearing? With Anya, Yor thought it made perfect sense—she was the most adorable little child, with the silliest antics, and, she was pretty sure, scientifically unable to not love. But Loid was a grown adult. A man. She cared about him, yes, just like she cared about the whole Forger family, but this was different. There was some kind of electric undercurrent that she could feel lining her nerves as she traced his face with her eyes, committing it to memory. I meant it when I said you’re second to none.
Maybe… Loid did speak well of her behind her back. Praised her, even? She couldn’t fathom the idea of anyone complimenting her like that, but clearly it wasn’t the way Fiona said it was. And in any case, what Loid thought mattered to her more than what Fiona said.
In a startling moment of clarity, she realized that what Loid thought mattered to her, period. She wanted to know his opinions, his likes, his dislikes. His tastes in food, venues, and clothing. His taste in…women.
Since when did that matter?
“Loid,” she started, “I—”
A caterwauling whistle pierced the air between them, making her nearly jump out of her skin. They turned to see an older man grinning at them.
“That your wife, Forger? Bring her around here more often!” He skulked off. Loid grit his teeth and clenched his fist.
“Director Gorey, that absolute…” He took a deep breath and turned back to her. “I’m so sorry about him. What were you saying?”
Yor blinked. What was she going to say? That whistle from the odd man suddenly made her cognizant of the numerous eyes on them that had somehow faded into the background just moments prior. She stiffened up.
“Uhh, just that I-I hope you enjoy your lunch! I better hurry now, see you later, thank you enjoy your lunch I already said that bye!” She whipped around and booked it out of the hospital. Though she’d imagined herself doing exactly that just an hour prior, she hadn’t predicted that she would feel like she was walking clouds while doing it. Or that there would be a giant grin on her face that she wouldn’t be able to keep down.
Maybe she ought to visit Loid at the hospital more.

Is it me or dose Pink RS and Toxic Princess from the princess’ jewels feel similar
Note the authors in two different webcomics are different, RS has an unhealthy celebrity crush and a Lolita Fetish and while the Princess’ Jewels author Alove is a disgusting human being and she is a pedo.
Both of them are sexy and beautiful Mary Sue girl boss and they show toxic femininity and girls look up to them as role models, for example Pink RS bullies all the nymphs for liking her man meat and Toxic Princess treats men like toys and she forced one of them to join her “Jewelry Box” and she bullies and fat shames her fiancé (because he’s not hot).
They have beautiful art style and cute clothes. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Red guy with great personality and he’s a 10, but He’s a simp to the main Mary girl.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look we got POC with no personality and not treating them like they are real humans and they are there for points (sick)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The only likable characters (don’t know about Toxic Princess’ mother though)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We got toxic relationships like Christian Blue and Pink RS, and Toxic Princess and her poor Jewels.
Sex sense that some how not getting censored or banned from breaking Webtoons rule which is no sexual themes and romanticize abuse and it is on app that is for kids to look at.
Another girl boss like Hera and Yellow queen who are friends with the main girls who are way worse then them.
And again they are the role models of very young girls to up to which it’s bad, because there are no beautiful, sexy and girly female characters in today’s American entertainment and they flat out go to Webtoon, because they have beautiful and sexy female characters on here, so they can look up and they look up Pink RS and Toxic Princess, because they are pretty and didn’t look past their pretty faces to see how awful they are. If you want to look up to any female characters then I would recommend you to watch Japanese anime and read manga, because they have a hand full of amazing writing female characters who are feminine and the opposite of a Mary Sue/Toxic feminine here are the list.
Mitsuri from Demon Slayer
Eve from ROR
Duck/Princess Tutu from Princess Tutu
Nana Komatsu from Nana
Yor Forger from Spy x Family
Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon from Sailor Moon
Najika Kazami from Kitchen Princess
Anise Yamamoto from Kiss of the Rose Princess
Kaede Sayano and Yoruka Hanzawa from Magical Girl Apocalypse
Diamond (I know that she dosen’t have a gender in the manga and anime and I only see her as female) from Land of the Lustrous
Rem from Rezero
Lum from Urusei Yatsura
Ami from Ultra Cute
Kuon Shinzaki from High-Rise Invasion
Yammy (just kidding) is Komi from Komi can’t communicate 
Yumeko Jabami (kinda) from Kakegurui
And many more

Spy X Family: Code White spoilers under the cut
I loved it when Loid walked past the two guys who kidnapped Anya and beat them up. He was on his way to her and they were going in the opposite direction, not standing in his way. He didn't need to do that. That was very much a father getting revenge for his daughter. That was very much an emotional choice he made in that moment. That was like Liam Neeson in Taken vibes. That was passionate anger for the wrongs that had been done to his daughter. That had nothing to do with furthering the "mission". When is he going to realize that this is his real family and he has real fatherly love for Anya?
Also the almost kiss in the ferris wheel and Yor slapping him out of the capsule!!!! They animated that so perfectly for it to be a shock slap! I thought they were going to kiss!!! And I thought I wanted that, but no. That was Loid acting sauve and smoothing things over as a spy for operation Strix. They need to kiss when it catches him off guard too. I feel like this will only happen when their true identities are revealed to each other and Loid realizes he doesn't want to lose her despite them being on opposite sides. It needs to be vulnerable, and it needs to happen when their identities are laid bare with each other. It needs to be a conscious choice outside of any mission.
Or idk I could be wrong bc a slow burn, as they're slowly falling into love, leading eventually to a kiss while still "acting" as a couple would be good too. Loid already does little things sometimes like small touches or acts of sweetness, and sometimes they're so out of the blue and not as an attempt to smooth anything over, so they might be sincere. If this is a progression where eventually Loid kisses her I would be fine with that too, but it has to be because he just wants to kiss her, not to smooth anything over or save the mission. Maybe he'll think it was to save the mission, but we know better.
AND ANYA'S POOP GOD VISION. Oh my gosh. I haven't laughed that hard in YEARS. My stomach hurt so bad and I couldn't breathe. Everyone else in the theater (only four other people but that's besides the point) were also laughing their heads off that whole time. It was the best. I also love how the poop god in her mind looks like Professor Henderson lol

You're that kind of person who'll never admit that they like someone even if they have a crush for 2 whole years. But still somehow you can't easily move on from your past crush or love. You're scared of the name of love . You see this as some kind of disease lol. But on the inside you're very protective and possessive too and maybe this is the reason that you don't want to fall for someone.

You have certain beliefs and think that things should always be in order. And you are ELEGANCE. Henry remained calm when loid smashed the table while everyone was shocked . From this you always have a cool and calm demeanor. People won't know what's going on in your head and you won't even let them know. And you have a very extreme presence to you. Like people stop talking when they see you entering the room.

I personally believe that spy × family has a deep meaning to it. Because somehow every individual hides a part of them from others and even from their family. This is what I think, you can completely disagree on that hehe :)

A character study - on Twilight, love, and denial
I was thinking how Operation Strix is probably the best way to get Twilight to accept that he could have normal emotions and human connections again, and therefore is really the best thing that has happened in his life.
It’s not because no one has loved and cared for him after he became Twilight. It’s just, he has been in so much pain. It’s hard to imagine how he lived for a decade where nothing is real. All he had is pain and that one hope that the war might stop one day. I don’t think he has ever felt safe enough to love and be loved since he lost everything in war.
Now, I’m not saying it’s a good way for parents to do, but he kinda reminds me of how parents would put food children don’t like, like veggies, into minced meat or something like that so they would eat it, and hopefully they would grow to like it. Twilight is that kid. He is a workaholic who’s not looking for love. He only wants to work. And Operation Strix is the meat to lure him in. 
(Manga spoilers ahead)
There is that one panel in [redacted]’s arc that probably showed you how difficult his life was after losing his mother. “He lived like a rat.” He wasn’t this beloved child who could find comfort in his mother’s arms anymore. He was thrown into this cruel world. Then he joined the army, and in the army he was recruited. 
It is highly possible he has never dated anyone before he became Twilight. He was too preoccupied by hate. And then he became a spy in hope to reverse his own bad decisions, or even, the bad decisions both Ostania and Westalis made that had led to all the tragedies he suffered. 
He has been Twilight for over a decade. All the people and things he has really loved before he became Twilight is gone. Every romantic relationship he’s had ever since he become Twilight is an illusion. He operates under aliases after aliases until one day he forgot his own name. He dated several women when he’s on his missions, but it’s very likely he only sees them as work-related. And he is a workaholic. He doesn’t necessarily like what he’s doing - he only likes the fact that he’s working for the greater good. So we often see how he sees work - his only goal is to make it simple and get it over with. It is kinda safe to assume that he never had emotional attachments that are real and tangible other than the love he received from his mother and his friends. Those are the only kinds of emotional attachment he has ever come to know. His previous experiences with women are most likely unpleasant - in previous missions, if he’s forced to resort to honey trapping, most probably the best scenario is that he dates a terrible woman (aka Karen) so he doesn't walk away with too much guilt - he does show a teeny bit of regret for betraying his target’s trust.
That is why you could not win Twilight over if you present yourself as a love interest. Nightfall would still not win his heart even if she gets to be Twilight’s wife, because her priority would always to be Twilight’s wife first, then Anya’s mother. From his past experience, romantic love = mission = means to an end = lies and cover-ups = breakups. With all the missions he has to complete and the traumatic past, it’s hard to imagine he would be that eager to find love.
So Yor comes in in a peculiar way. Is Yor related to work? Yes, but also quite far removed from it. It is truly the perfect setting for Twilight. She’s not his target so he doesn’t need to become anyone for her, and it is not even necessary for her to become his work partner so with her he can literally let her be and doesn’t need to worry about reports and coordinations and strategies. She is that rare breed in his life - I saw it somewhere that she is more like his roommate. She could help feed the cat Anya but that’s not really her responsibility. And Yor is just this nice roommate he doesn’t need to worry about - she always seems happy to help but she also keeps a respectable distance. She chose to become more of a mother to Anya, but she didn’t use Anya to get closer to Twilight. Most of the time, when Twilight’s there with Anya, it would be Twilight watching TV and doing homework with her. Yor doesn’t butt in. And Yor probably has the personality so blunt and gullible he wouldn’t see her as someone threatening - she doesn’t remind him of work at all. She reminds him of home. And this all happens in a place he deliberately makes to be as homely (as he sees it) and safe (for a spy) as possible.
But that is still not why he caught feelings. It’s just how he could get relaxed enough to “slip”. He starts to catch feelings because he could see and feel the love Yor radiates as a mother for Anya. That is something he is able to connect, and that is something he knows is real. That allows him to see beyond the mission and start to see Yor as who she really is. He relates to her. We always focus on how Yor thinks he understands her, but we know he sees him in her too. He sees someone who is eager to protect and willing to sacrifice for people she loves and cares about. And he sees that she has secrets, and how the secrets burden her, so he hopes she can make friends and share the burden with others, even if it's not him. He admires her strength and feels her pain. And she is able to soothe him. She makes him feel better about the situation and even himself when his spy mind is going overload. She sees him as this tired man and tries hard to make his life easier. She doesn’t always succeed but he certainly appreciates it. In turn, he tries to go on dates with her to cheer her up.
You see, it doesn't matter if he knows he’s falling in love or not. It is possibly a good thing that he thought Yor had rejected him. The more he is able to lie to himself, or the deeper he is in denial, the deeper he allows himself to fall into love. If you don’t shove love in his face, his brain would not go “honey trapping? spy? work? mission?” and he would continue to turn a blind eye on everything so he can continue to keep his guard down. He is that frog in the boiling frog except he doesn’t jump out because he lies to himself that the water is not hot at all. Because poor froggy has been left in the cold for too long. He misses the warmth.

I think one of the more interesting qualities of sxf is the amazing ability to actively skirt past any potential moral debate around the parents' occupations.
Twilight is a spy in a foreign country, historically that's not a good thing. But obviously they want us to root for Twilight so they just muddle his goal. And so we get his catchphrase "for world peace" a vague ambiguous goal that makes him look noble despite not doing a noble job.
Similar effect for Yor. In the cruise arc where she debates her job as an assassin she explicitly states she does it to "keep people safe". A very cop mentality. We don't know anything about the people she's fighting/murdering we just know they're doing bad things.
I will not begin to talk about Mr. Officer of State.
And this is why I say the war commentary always falls flat for me. While yes the mass destruction is unnecessary people aren't fighting for the sake of fighting. There's also cases of wars that came about through retaliation.
Obviously this all just fetishization of war aesthetic which is a common trope in media especially Japanese media. But nowadays people are a lot more critical of these types of storylines so you see a more deliberate attempt to distance the story from the atrocities it was based on than trying to actually say something of substance.

Spy x Family Biggest Mysteries
Are you ready for this new arc 😏?
I don't think we're even halfway through the series, so there's still plenty of mysteries to solve. Here are the biggest mysteries in the series:
Yor's background story: Just like we learned why Twilight cares so much about his mission and we saw him as a kid and later as a soldier, we also need to know how Yor got started as an assassin.
How was she recruited? How were those first 'customers' for her?
There's also theories that say her parents may have been linked to the Garden.
Tumblr media
The Garden: How does the Garden work? We have a fairly good knowledge about WISE and what it stands for, but we know very little about the Garden. Are they part of the government? Are they a vigilante organization? Are there other assassins? (That would be cool to see 😃)
And most importantly, if Yor chooses to leave, will they let her?
Tumblr media
Donovan Desmond: He's the reason why Operation Strix started, yet, we know so little about him. Is he a good guy or a bad guy? Is he planning a conflict with Westalis? Does he hate his children? Why is he a recluse? And what are those strange scars on his head?
So many questions, so little answers!
Tumblr media
Leonardo Happon: Who is this mysterious figure? And will he be relevant in the story? Some theories say he's one of the scientists that experimented on Anya; others that he's Twilight's childhood friend.
Tumblr media
Anya's past and biological parents: Anya's origin is probably one of the biggest mystery in the series and I suspect we won't know about her past until the last arc of the story. Are Anya's biological parents still alive? And what does her name mean? See all the theories about her name here.
Tumblr media
Project Apple: What's the link between Project Apple and Donovan Desmond? Even though we don't know much about it, we can guess it's linked to Anya. What's its purpose? Who is running it?
Tumblr media
Twilight's real name: This mystery needs no explanation. Many of us are dying to learn what's Twilight's real name, but will Endo choose to reveal it?
Tumblr media
Melinda Desmond: One of the most mysterious characters in the series. Why is she estranged from her husband? Is she against him? Is she trying to take advantage of Yor or really trying to be friends? And why did she act that way towards Damian?
Tumblr media
[Redacted]'s dad: Some say he's dead, but if you've read certain fic, you know my thoughts on this: (he's Yuri's captain!)
Something I would like to know is what was his role in the peace negotiations between Westalis and Ostania.
Tumblr media
Are there any other mysteries you want to know about in sxf? Reblog and tell me!

Okay so I wanna talk about an anime I’ll probably never talk about again here but it’s been in the back of my mind and I need to get it off.
I love Spy x Family with all my heart, this anime seriously is so healing and nice I could go for five whole seasons and not get sick of it.
And of course I’m one hell of a Loid simp, love him and would very much get married to him if I had the occasion, BUT there’s something about him that I just can’t get past and ignore, and I think it’s something that is very important to his development so I’ll go over it.
Tumblr media
I’ll start by talking about Yor to have an element of comparison that’s gonna be important after. She’s a very simple woman, we all know that much, she’s not the best at hiding her emotions and thoughts and easily acts on it. The only thing she’s good at hiding is her second job and I mean nice it’s good.
Now what I wanna go over is how Yor acts and thinks towards the Family, so towards Loid, Anya and Bond. She honestly love them so much it’s adorable, she takes her time and energy to take care of them, to please them and make sure they’re happy and content. She’s an amazing wife, even though she’s super clumsy, can’t cook shit and well yeah, not the smartest she’s still a great addition to the family and a very sweet mom/wife.
Now Loid. The problem with him is how he perceive the family. Contrarily to Yor, who sees the family as more or less of a real one in which she can flourish, gain experience and spend nice moment with people she appreciates and care for Loid sees the family as a mean to an end.
It’s especially obvious in the first episode of season 2 that I watched like two days ago, it kinda threw me off. In this episode Yor was shot but can’t talk about it because it’s related to her mercenary job, so in Loid’s eyes she’s hella grumpy and just in a very very bad mood. So he decides to take her on a date, but it’s not because he wants Yor as a person to feel better and to spend time with her, it’s so the wedding wouldn’t fail.
Now I KNOW Loid’s mission is super fucking important, peace in the world depends on it and it’s super pressuring and everything, i truly know and acknowledge that, but would it kill him to just, care about Yor as a person ? To treat Anya like the kid she is and not a school machine ?
Loid is truly a good person and I know his past was very difficult and ended up making him the person he is today, but he needs development. It would do him so great to finally see them as a family with who he can spend a good time, have little dates and laugh.
His trust issues just threw me off, I’m surprising myself to say that a red flag in an anime character actually throws me off but yeah we’re here. He doesn’t trust Yor a bit, he thought just because Yor was in a bad mood the mariage would be over, i mean come on Loid, you know that Yor is a very simple woman and would never ruin a mariage she also needed just because she had a bad day. Same for the episode in which he put a mini microphone on her because he didn’t trust her, like man yeah ok she’s a mercenary but still other than that, which he has NO IDEA about, there’s no reason for him to doubt her.
Anyway this all, i really wanted to share that and I hope with my whole heart that something will happen and make Loid realize the importance of the family, not as a mean to an end but as people he cares for.
Also, I’m not saying Loid has no feelings and is a robot or something, he does, it’s just that sometimes he sabotages things himself by not trusting the most honest people and man, just open your damn eyes you’re frustrating me.

Please may I have a Spy x family headcanons platonic of being the biological son of Yor Briar and his name is Yukio Briar and then Yukio Forger age 8..Yukio means "Snow boy" in Japanese and Yor was 18 when she realised that she was pregnant with her son when she lost her boyfriend in an accident. Yukio Briar is an assassin but he uses less bloody methods and one of them is poisoning his targets food by lacing it with a highly toxic chemical which has immediate effects or he kills them from afar with his guns or he does kill them with the same methods as his mother if neither of his other options work and his nickname is "the Poison Rose" by the "gardener". He joined the Eden academy in sake of helping Loid complete his mission and hopefully befriend Damian with no issues. He was certainly not a weak child and considering how he had hospitalised his uncle Yuri for several months after breaking his ribs and ruptured several of his internal organs and breaking both of his legs..it took a while for Yuri to recover.
Personality:
He always had top grades in every class as he did study properly and he can cook properly and does do better at it with no issues and no. He doesn't poison the family..only his targets. He is a good actor as he showed a innocent naivety and gullible facade when he ran into his targets so they didn't know his intentions and he does catch them off guard. He is greatly immune to poisons as he had eaten his mother's nasty cooking in the past and he had eaten so many that he didn't really care anymore. He is genuinely a nice kid and he is a lovely little boy with a kind-hearted nature and it is rare for him to actually shout or get angry as he is level-headed but once was frightening enough..when a mother loudly criticised his mother's parenting skills to her friends and he naturally lost his temper and stood up for his mother when he insulted this lady about her weight, her friends, her hair and her entire existence and the vicious insults and the colourful words kept on flowing and he could not stop himself and then he said "you are a mean lady if you think that insulting my mother boosts your ego..no wonder why your son wanted to live with his Dad instead!" Was his words..the lady actually got up crying and left. He can be scary when he was being intimidating and his scary assassin gaze matches his mother's. He did have poor art-skills as it was not his strong point and it looks like a toddler had done it and he was bad at it anyway or he had the ability to give people nightmares with his unsettling drawings. He was empathetic though in a way and he tried to help Anya with her homework to make it easier for her.
Skills:
He is highly intelligent and he had a 6th Sense when it comes to danger as he is a skillful fighter with the ability to fight with no issues..Loid even struggled to keep up. Yukio is capable of breaking bones and killing people if so inclined. He had inhuman strength in a way and considering how he is able to split a brick in half..don't pick a fight with him or play football with him. He is immune to poisons of different kinds and he is a good cook and he can frighten the absolute hell out of his targets when he says "wanna play?" Which was the exact opposite of his mother politely saying "can you do me the honour of taking your life?"..but Yukio does try to be careful with his strength off-duty and he may be a kid but he was certainly a skillful assassin
Apparance: *Exactly like in the photograph and he did have to wear glasses due to poor eyesight * and he doesn't look like his mom..he looks like his late father with his moles and blue eyes. He mostly wore a red cardigan with a black t-shirt underneath with black shorts and brown patient shoes off-duty. He wore similar clothing to his mother on duty.
Relationships:
Loid Forger's relationship with his "son"
Yor Briar's relationship with her son
Anya's relationship with her "big brother"
Bond's relationship with his owner
Damian's relationship with Yukio Forger *he did accidentally punch Damian on first meeting and the kid ended up hospitalised with a broken jaw for several days*
Becky Blackbell's relationship with Anya's "big brother"
Yuri's relationship with his nephew
The gardener's relationship with his skillful assassin
One other thing about him:
Yor doesn't know that her son is an assassin..he expressed his wishes to the gardener for him to keep it a secret for his sake.
Tumblr media
*That's Yukio Briar..Yor's biological son and the hand on his head probably belongs to a teacher*
Wow, first OC request! I’ll probably just do a mini fic with just the family and their daily routine…. I like the idea of him eating Yor’s food so calmly meanwhile Anya and Loid are just on the ground like:
Tumblr media
I’ll also add in the mission. I’m sorry if I read anything wrong and this is not the request but I will try my best to add all the information given.
Thanks for the request!
The mini fic will be added with the headcannons, don’t worry.

spy x family roleswap: Future Sight (Freelance) Yor, Assassin (in training) Anya, Telepath (Informant) Loid and Spy (unretired) Bond
i want to fully write this so bad but here have the premise + some ideas.
This starts with Yor. She was friends with the Garden, not officially an assassin. Her future sight was good for digging through rubble for people and supplies. Later it's good for dodging the SS and anyone she's avoiding. She ran smaller missions, researched targets, cleaned up, was partly but not fully trained like canon Yor.
McMahon picked up Anya. There was a splinter cell and they were training child assassins. This was considered unacceptable - any killing should be done by people who choose it, not ones raised with no choice but to follow orders. Never mind that they do this to keep vulnerable people out of harm, not use them as cannon fodder.
Yor could help because she was the only one who could dodge Anya's knives. It takes time but they get into a rhythm as mother and daughter. There are still Garden traitors out there but as long as Yor breathes she will not let Anya come to harm.
Anya doesn't really understand; Mama Yor does exercise with her, gently, enough that she can still feel good after they stop, that she doesn't collapse. She gets to sleep, and gets naps if she wants, she's woken softly. Anya gets to read and learn from books and ask Mama so many questions! Even if Yor doesn't know they go to the library and find out! And she gets to see kids and be nice to them instead of.instead of..instead!
The Shopkeeper finds this arrangement an opportunity, to grow fruit within a flower garden. "While beauty is needed, even valuable at points, it does not always sustain us."
Yor will infiltrate Eden academy as a mother, and get in with Melinda Desmond, the ex-prime minister's wife. She could get intel on their movements, if they would continue the war or not. Eden also has excellent security - it could trip up the Garden traitors that would try to steal Anya back from school.
Everything was going well - but now she needs a husband for the school interview! Where will she find one on such short notice! That wouldn't be suspicious of her and her daughter?
Enter Loid and his dog, Ozmund.
Loid was dug out of the rubble of his hometown and experimented on. He escaped as a teenager, tried to get back to his mother but she was dead when he made it to his extended families house. They were practically strangers to him, but encouraged him to enlist in the Army to "make something of himself" and "avenge her".
Loid couldn't stomach hearing the thoughts of people in a firefight. They all sounded the same, Westalian, Ostanian, they all wanted to survive. So he dodged the draft as well as he could. He got a scholarship and studied hard so he wouldn't be a foot soldier. Learned how to leverage blackmail to get supplies to where they were needed most, get messages to civilians for them to leave in time. Loid was considered for Secret Service training but he purposely failed some tests. For the past few years, he's been working as a trauma therapist and specializes in mute/deaf/other patients who are difficult to normally communicate with.
Fiona is his secretary, a WISE plant keeping an eye on a man with significant ability to get supplies and information from seemingly out to nowhere. She still has the same crush as canon Loid knows about her affection and is very much not interested. But since she doesn't say it ever outright he can't outright deny it so they're just stuck.
WISE knows about Loid, Loid knows about WISE. They're at an impasse, because he could blow the operation, but he chooses not to as long as he's not roped into full service. Loid takes on a few spies as his patients as well as allows himself to be used as an alibi - all to prevent another War, of course.
Franky was a soldier who ended up with a prosthetic leg and deaf in one ear. Loid helped him out of a depression and Franky works for WISE now as a top spy/equipment engineer. They work on a sign language together in their spare time.
Sylvia uncovered a secret dog training facility. Bond was nearly set to die, but Franky took him to Loid. Bond is named Ozmund, after the Wizard of Oz books. He's a therapy dog that's taken into the office a few days a week to work with the patients.
Then tons of WISE spies get taken out of commission, and suddenly Oz is needed for missions. The dog gets a combat outfit with pouches.
The outfit gets torn up and Loid has to take it to a tailor that won't ask questions. Yor is there, getting Anya's school clothes. Oz picks up that shes going to Eden Academy. The dog immediately puts together that if the child goes to Eden, they have a chance to meet with Donovan Desmond, a recluse that only goes to his children's school events.
Ozmund approaches Anya, and Anya reflexively smacks the dog's snout. Due to his spy training, Oz doesn't flinch. Anya apologizes, patting him softer, like Mama told her.
Loid sees it, hears from Yor's thoughts that she needs a husband for the Eden Academy interview. That Anya is great, but she can't help her alone. Loid can't ignore their thoughts, their worries and hopes about protecting each other.
Loid and Yor enter a fake marriage, juggling raising a child, their missions, and the slow, certain steps towards making a true family.
Misc:
Ozmund gets a new name, "Bond", after Anya's favorite show. Yor also wanted to pick a name, so now his full name is now Bond Ozmund Rudolf Forger. BORF.
Anya has a favorite knife that she keeps on her person. Loid and Yor were able to modify Mr. Chimera to have a secret pouch for her to store it. Anya also keeps peanuts in there.
Yor's future sight is a genetic gift. Her mother and grandmother had it and always warned her never to tell anyone. If she concentrates she can focus on events for one person and replay the vision. But she generally has 1 chance so she's very good at picking up small details at first glance.
Yor wears a different colored bracelet or ring for each day of the week. It's to help her figure out when her future vision happens. When Loid picks up on it he wears a matching tie or shirt.
Loid has a little more "edge" to him. More likely to stir the pot for fun, make gossip and push people into big reactions. Being able to hear all the hot gossip made him jaded and bored of people. Yor and Anya are more honest and open than what he's used to, and he's slowly starting to respond to their genuine feelings.
Loid's powers have developed enough for him to "speak" to others in their minds. It bypasses deafness and the language barrier as long as he's being clear. He explains it as some "ventriloquist tricks" to catch people off guard. He says he has a limited range of 30 feet (and leads WISE and the SS to believe the same) but his range goes up to 50 and if he focuses on a single person he can track to 75 feet.
Fiona believes that because Loid doesn't react to her declarations of love it means that she's immune to his telepathy and they are destined to be partners. Loid just has a very good poker face.
Possible side plot where Desmond was also experimented on by the same people that took Loid - he's a little older, probably volunteered and covered it up after to boot. I'm not sure if he's actually got powers or he didn't get powers and thus considered it a failure, feeding into his "people can never truly understand each other" philosophy.
Anya is being treated to a regimen of poisons to make her immune. The Garden splinter cell sneaks them into her kids snacks. It's why she likes peanuts so much. They taste the same no matter where she goes.
Loid being very up to date with fashion trends and helping Yor with her hair and makeup so that she can "fit in" with the Desmonds. Giving her a bit of polish to her natural style. Actually having a "girls styling day" where he disguises himself as a woman and they go shopping around town. (he says its for a psychological social study about how "women are perceived" but...nah he just thought it would be fun, and it was.)
When the roles are swapped like this, there's actually a psychological horror angle from Yor's POV about Loid.
(you know that your husband has secrets. To protect himself and this stitched up family. But every time it comes down to the wire he keeps saying the same lie: that he's a telepath. But why does he insist on it and try to prove it even when she doesn't ask? Why does he say that he knows about Anya he can't know he would have run if he really knew and wants to help them? No one helps, not without a price. She won't know the truth until it's too late to do anything. She can't trust him until he stops telling her that massive, insane lie.
...why does Loid look so sad?)
