kennderland is a fun crackship bc you know they’d be so messed up like what little art I’ve seen of them is mostly cute and fluffy but their flavours of survival horror protagonist would compliment each other in a not so healthy way if you think about it and I never see this explored in their art esp not art of Leon on his own

[stein0ten]

no one is talking about maximus enough. i’m his biggest fan. he’s . i don’t know how to put it something is so funny about this profoundly sad character who’s also a bit funny and awkward but roundly realistic juxtaposed with Ms Goody Two Shoes and Murder Hobo Cowboy. big huge fan

If Twilights’s dad is a spy Then is he working for Westalis or Ostania?

Hey Anon and sorry for the delay! :3

Hmm, first of all, I don’t think his allegiance would be what matters the most, when in case this plot twist happens.

To recap a bit on the theory that Twilight's dad is still alive and a spy (first draft here), I think that, narratively speaking, the interest lies in:

Twilight's entire childhood, nay, life was based on a lie

A lie he's currently exactly reproducing by pretending to be Anya's dad (except that, unlike him, Anya knows her dad's a spy on a mission), which is why it'll need to be addressed by the plot eventually.

Additionally, and considering that this trauma from his childhood turned him into everything he didn’t want to be, I'd say facing this terrible truth (for once) is how he's going to come to the realization that he can't do to Yor and Anya what his dad did to him and his mom.

Otherwise, you know, "he's really just like his dad", a dad who possibly caused a terrorist attack or, at the very least, who took advantage of one to leave his wife and kid behind.

All "for his mission".

Twilight being recruited as a spy might be related to WISE knowing his dad is a spy

In that case, if his dad is also a spy working for Westalis, then WISE recruited Twilight because they bet he shares the same skills as his dad.

However, if his dad is a spy working for Ostania, then WISE recruited him for the same reason, except it was to use him as possible leverage/weapon against his own dad.

Either way, if WISE knew about Twilight's dad being a spy, then WISE will be held accountable for manipulating Twilight with lies. So I think, by the end of the story, Twilight will also come to realize this truth, because it's the only way to untangle the web of lies that now represents his life.

Also, Twilight realizing that WISE used him from the start would match with Yor being indoctrinated since childhood by the organization she also currently sides with.

And, while I have no doubt that eventually their family will prevail over old allegiances, I believe it will only be possible if both Twilight and Yor face the truth that they were totally used as pawns by the organizations they believed in, in order to free themselves from them.

To finally answer your question (sorry for rambling): thematically since Twilight is Westalis' "greatest spy/asset", tbh it's likely that his dad is the Ostanian equivalent.

As for who he is, I'd say someone currently working for the SSS, which is how Twilight risks being discovered by them (if Garden doesn't sell him out first, for being Yor's fishy husband being interested in Donovan Desmond).

And considering the fact he must be an older man, with a light hair color, visible cheek bones and a slim nose, well, we don't have a lot of possible suspects in the cast...

Especially since, interestingly, the job of Yuri and his captain is to catch spies.

Lastly, if Yuri's captain is Twilight's spy dad, then he must have gotten that scar after leaving his wife and kid behind, say, maybe during that very same explosion/terrorist attack that happened in their hometown?

TL;DR my money is on Yuri's captain being Twilight's spy dad, because this has high comedic value, when we know how much Yuri dislikes Loid while his dad mentors him on the job. Though it's also quite ironically devastating considering that, in that case, Twilight literally impersonated his dad in ch14 when investigating Yor...

...implying he's slowly becoming exactly like his dad, a man he will despise once he finds out the truth. ://

Sorry for rambling, I hope it answers your question ! Have a good day ahead, Anon.

I think listening to Halsey’s latest album on your period is a form of self harm

[iambecomeafangirl]

If you could see me during every song, it would be just eyes open wide and jaw open, trembling.

Controversial Character Tournament Round 1: Shin Tsukimi from Your Turn To Die

[elliehallers]

Wash me in the water, you can cut off all my hair.

And I'll be changin' like the weather, but I'll never be like him.

'Cause blood is thick, but water is forever.

And I'm stiffer than a board, lighter than a feather.

And that girl will be a problem only if you let her.

And I left her back home, but I cannot forget her.

– Halsey ("Hurt Feelings")

I gotta admit, the fact that palestinians are having to waste time and energy getting vetted, and then showing proof that they're palestinians, because some western devils are using their tragedy to con people out of money that could be saving lives, is easily the most disgusting thing I've seen from this site in a while.

What the fuck is wrong with you?? What will you do with the money you let someone die or starve to steal? How do you sleep at night knowing you wasted the precious time of so many thousands of people who are just trying to save their lives? Their families' lives? Their children's lives? I hope tragedy follows you and your misbegotten gains every day, that your life is nothing but suffering and pain a thousand times what you have caused others.

do any of you miserable hooligans remember the treadstone agent that bourne kills at the end of the first movie. Wiki calls him The Professor. I remember him. I watched the bourne movies first with my dad when i was like. 11 or something idk. i understood almost none of it. but you know who stuck with me? the FUCKING GLASSES MAN. I was sad when he died. Bro showed up for a total of 3 minutes AND tried to kill the title character (whom i love). And i was so sad.

I've been obsessed with the professor for as long as Ive known he exists. AND THEY REPEATED HIS LINE IN THE LAST MOVIEE OOOOH. He had such an impact. I wanted him and bourne to sit and have tea together or something. Honestly just any two Treadstone Assets sitting together and chit chatting would be enough.
