Spy x Family Chapter 66 · · · Seed of mistrust
This contains spoilers for the manga.
This chapter has really made me enter an emotional turbulence that I don't know how to process. So I think I'll have to talk about this chapter in several parts
Before I talk about Melinda and the rest of the Desmonds, I want to talk mainly about Twilight in this chapter.
I was a little disappointed that Twilight's reaction was so natural. I was expecting a more epic expression, but I guess Endo preferred to take this issue more seriously and leave the jokes to Anya. Although well, I guess this is the funniest thing we can find xD
Tumblr media
As we imagine: WISE, has very little information regarding the Desmonds. Each of them has a circle so small that it is almost impenetrable. So approaching Melinda with any attempt can be a huge risk. This could put any of the members, either Melinda or Donovan, on alert and end up isolating themselves to the point of being impossible to discover their plans.
I am beginning to understand the WISE conflict.
They are totally blind. They seem to have faint hints that the Desmonds are involved in something larger, and more dangerous, associated with war. Possibly, Donovan or Melinda, are the key to access a vast network of evil that is spreading. But they have covered themselves with such a deep armor that not even WISE has managed to have information about it.
There is nothing more dangerous than not knowing "where the enemy is"
This explains the constant pressure and fear of the organization when seeing that many attacks, and crimes are happening. But there is no solid basis to draw a conclusion or theory that makes sense, and tie up all the loose ends.
It is here, when Twilight himself feels with little information to theorize on his own.
Tumblr media
Clearly, something is up with Donovan and Melinda's strange relationship. They are obviously an unconventional family and the "rejection" and "indifference" to their children, especially to Damiand, even becomes "terrifying".
This is more of an assumption. But I don't know if Melinda was forced to be Desmond's wife and perhaps have children when she didn't want them. This seems to go beyond a family deteriorating over time… or a marriage that has lost its love. It seemed that both of them were only fulfilling a role and maintaining the relationship for a true "convenience": power, protection, influence, social image, prestige, etc.
I wanted to dedicate a whole post to this topic, but I think I will try to make a brief mention:
Remembering the cruise arc. The shopkeeper mentioned that a split occurred within the secret government. While in the past the Gretcher family ruled the underworld in an "honorable" way, currently a man "with glasses" (by the figure represented on the panel) took power and started a division, being the reason why they were hunting to Olga. We are given to understand by the Director that "they do not support the war, much less those who try to make a fortune off it." So it is understood that Garden is against the radical sector that seeks confrontation.
Tumblr media
Now, what side do the Desmonds play regarding the secret government? Are they supporting and financing the radical sector whose plans are war? Or are they on the same side as Garde?
Or much worse… what if the Donovans or Melinda play both sides and keep up appearances with both the radical and non-radical sectors. In this way, it is a game of double betrayal, no matter which side wins, they would benefit.
It also comes into question whether Melinda is against her own husband, whether for better or worse. And if this division that separates the Desmonds is not only "for sentimental reasons", but arises from political ideals… there is too much that we do not know
Maybe that's why the shopkeeper didn't see a problem with Yor getting involved with Melinda. But the way he says that "if anything were to happen, then of course… for that reason, I wouldn't exactly recommend it"… I don't know, it gives me a bad feeling, It is as if the shopkeeper thought that: The closeness of Yor and Melinda is not a problem at the moment, but it does not ensure that this in the future will be dangerous
But this topic deserves a separate post….
Tumblr media
Although, it is strange the idea that the meeting of Melinda and Yor is planned. That means the Desmonds have been watching the Forgers and they haven't noticed. Which, is strange, considering Yor and Twilight are keen to notice when they're being watched…
We know that Yor was only the mall at Anya's request, so if Melinda planned it, it would be because she's been watching her from the beginning.
But, as Twilight himself supposes. It feels strange that this is a joint strategy of the Desmond parents. So it may be possible that it remains a chance event, risky and beneficial.
This really worries me....
Tumblr media
I know that many talk and highlight how Twilight is willing to protect Yor… but… actually… this doesn't really relieve me… on the contrary, it worries me.
Tumblr media
¡It breaks my heart to see that by now Twilight's mental bias is so ingrained in him that his first reaction is to distrust Yor!!
I understand, he is a spy, he was trained to distrust and see the worst case scenario. He does it to preserve his own security, and that of his work. But that he mistrusts Yor in the slightest shows that she does not have his absolute trust and this may continue to be repeated more in the future
I'm glad that Anya immediately clarifies that it was because of her wishes that Yor went to the mall. But even so, despite everything they've been through, living together, and Yor's efforts to be a good wife and mother, Twilight doesn't seem to realize (or doesn't want to) how important he is to Yoru. He represents a motivation for her, and she does not want to hurt him or betray him. Yor's ideals are not political, nor interested. Her support for the shopkeeper and his ideals are only because she feels that being an assassin could "protect her true interests", the love of her family.
I understand that Twilight is blind to Yor's job as an assassin. But the fact that he still feels the possibility that Yor is up to something behind his back: either handing him over to the SSS, or colluding with the Desmonds....Clearly, he still has a long way to go…
For even though Yor doesn't know he's a spy. She never doubts anything about him.... Although, well, she's very naive… still
Tumblr media
The way she looks at him. She feels so relieved, motivated and happy that he has her back.
Tumblr media
I know Twilight is being truthful right now. The transparent speech bubble tells us that he really thinks that way. I'm sure that if Yor had met friends, other than Melinda, Twilight would support her so that she had fun, and could expand her social bonds.
But with Melinda and Donovan in the equation, everything becomes so risky and unknown.
Tumblr media
And as it is a habit in him, he will always say that everything about it is for the good of "the family facade".
I know that Twilight deep down has very important feelings for Yor, I think he's sincere when he doesn't want to risk her too much, and above all that "he will be ready to protect her".
But also, I feel like this sets the stage for the Forger family to start to crack. Considering that the Shopkeeper felt obvious suspicion about Loid Forger and his attempt to get close to Donovan. It may mean that Garden becomes interested in investigating the sudden husband of his best assassin… and if this leads to the assassination organization associating him with a threat, they either think he's a colluder with the Desmonds (whose party may be financing war plans and strategies), or they discover that he is a spy. Twilight and Yor's identity may be compromised in the future.
Which can lead to more distrust and dangers….
In other words, Twilight has never suspected that Yor is an assassin, and yet she feels the need to question his trust in her… the fear that she will turn him over to an enemy, or that she is planning behind his back. persist in it. If in the future Garden begins to show interest in him, it may lead to their identities being revealed.
.
.
Tumblr media
feel very sad for Yor…. She is getting caught in the middle of a battle that she didn't ask for.
She clearly looks confused and unsure.
I feel that Yor deep down felt that he should mistrust Melinda, because of her terrifying expressions, her omissions, and such covert phrases… But she is not one to reason intellectually about the events of her life. It is her emotions and her instinct that warn she of the risks. But at the same time, she feels that she should not waste the opportunity to have friends
She just wants to have a quiet, peaceful life, to feel integrated into her family and the world around her. But these insecurities make them vulnerable, to fall in the middle of the conflict of WISE, Twilight, the Desmonds and Garden's actions… And I worry that she will be hurt and emotionally wounded.
I don't want to sound dramatic or negative. But I feel that Endo is telling us that many things can happen… things that the Forgers have to watch out for.
I know that Anya's efforts, they are funny, help to lower the tension of the chapter. But it's sad to see that Anya understands that Twilight's reason for being with her has been the Strix mission, and feels that the affection she receives from him is only for the "mission". If she is no longer her father's main plan: Plan A and plan B, she feels that she will be left aside and therefore abandoned
Clearly this is not true. Twilight truly loves Anya as his daughter, even if he doesn't admit it. But the weight of the Strix mission, the constant stress, pressure and preservation lies. They make each of the Forgers inside let themselves be enveloped by their insecurities.
Although Anya reads Twilight's mind: she feels that his thoughts (and emotions) are too confusing to interpret and she questions the stability of her happy and fun life.
This sparks a war between mother and daughter (something Yor has no idea about) for Twilight's attention.
I have always believed that the Forger family is an analogous representation of the peace between Ostania and Westalis. One family/two countries, happy and at peace based on lies. But when the truth is unleashed, it will be the end of this "illusory" peace and will bring with it many tears
I worry that the Forgers get so wrapped up in their own ambitions and desires that they end up embroiled in a trope so dangerous and entangled that it's hard to escape: Twilight, because of the mission, Yor in her attempt to be "normal" and "accepted ", and Anya in her longing for her father to love her and not abandon her. That the Strix operation begins to get complicated and with them leads to all this bomb of lies being unleashed
And this is when feelings become confused… What is a lie? What's the true? Who is an ally? Who is enemy?
I feel like there's a lot of drama coming up… and while this may not have an immediate effect… I hope that each of the Forgers get through it… and especially that they can understand that they are a true family and see beyond lies, ideals, war, and ambitions.
And the three of them understand, that no matter what they are a spy, an assassin, an experiment and a dog that sees the future. They all look for the same thing, a home.

Skulptur ist mal zu erotisch, mal zu schwer
Derzeit wird die neue Sammlungspräsentation aufgebaut. Die lebengroße Skulptur “Adoratio” von Stephan Sinding steht seit über 60 Jahren im Depot. Nun sollte sie endlich gezeigt werden. Leider geht das nun aber doch nicht...
Tumblr media
Stephan Sinding (1846 Trondheim – Paris 1922) war ein dänisch-norwegischer Bildhauer. In Dänemark gilt er als Pionier der realistischen Skulptur. Er erhielt mehrere Aufträge für öffentliche Denkmäler. Seine Marmorskulptur „Adoratio“ (Anbetung) war zu seiner Entstehungszeit sehr bekannt. Die zeitgenössische Kunstkritik zeigte sich ergriffen von dieser Darstellung: „…der Mann ist niedergesunken vor der Göttin seines Lebens, der er voll seligen Dankes inbrünstig die zarten Knie küsst.“ Der Erfolg der Skulptur führte dazu, dass sie 1913 von der Nackttänzerin Olga Desmond und ihrem Partner Adolf Salge an einem ihrer sogenannten „Schönheitsabende“ nachgestellt wurde. Das „tableau vivant“ wurde in einer Fotografie festgehalten, die käuflich erworben werden konnte.
Tumblr media
Der Kunstverein erhielt die Figur 1957 als Geschenk. Sie wurde allerdings nicht in die Schausammlung integriert und erscheint auch nicht auf der offiziellen Liste der Schenkungen der Kunsthalle. Das höchst pathetische Werk wurde „nur unter gewissen Vorbehalten“ angenommen. Verletzte sie den prüden Zeitgeschmack der 1950er-Jahre? War sie zu sexy fürs Museum?
Vermutlich wurde die Skulptur, seit sie Teil der Sammlung ist, nie ausgestellt. Im Rahmen der Neupräsentation von „Remix 2020“ (ab 6. Juni 2020) sollte sie nun endlich in die Dauerausstellung in einen thematisch passenden Raum integriert werden. Allerdings wurde festgestellt, dass der vorgesehene Raum die 1,3 Tonnen schwere Skulptur nicht tragen würde. So muss die Skulptur weiter im Depot verharren und auf ihren großen Auftritt warten.
Tumblr media
Die Kustodin Dr. Dorothee Hansen verantwortet den Sammlungsbereich, in den die Skulptur von Sinding fällt: „Wir hätten die Figurengruppe sehr gerne in die neue Dauerausstellung integriert! Beim Publikum hätte sie sicherlich zu viel Diskussion über das Geschlechterverhältnis aber auch über Kitsch geführt. Nun ist das Werk ein Beispiel für die Komplexität einer Sammlung. Gewisse Werke stellen uns vor konservatorische und aber eben auch statische Herausforderungen. Außerdem zeigt sie Skulptur, wie kompliziert die Konzeption einer neuen Sammlungspräsentation ist: Der Aufbau von „Remix 2020“ besteht nicht nur aus 1. Kunstwerk aus dem Depot holen 2. Kunstwerk aufhängen oder aufstellen. Bei der Auswahl der Werke spielen viele Aspekte eine wichtige Rolle: Inwieweit kann ein Werk inhaltlich und optisch in eine Erzählstruktur integriert werden? Welche restauratorischen und statischen Punkte gibt es zu beachten?“
Für alle Neugierigen gibt es aber einen Trost: Eine identische Marmorskulptur befindet sich in der Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek in Kopenhagen. Und auch im Schlosspark Thürmsdorf in der Sächsischen Schweiz findet sich eine Version der Figur aus Bronze.
„Remix 2020. Die Sammlung neu sehen“ (ab 6. Juni 2020)
Nach knapp neun Jahren präsentiert die Kunsthalle Bremen ihre Sammlung grundlegend neu. Die Bestände wurden dafür einer Revision unterzogen. Vormals voneinander getrennt gezeigte Werke, werden nun in einen Dialog gestellt. Vermeidlich Unterschiedliches wird zusammen geführt, wodurch neue Erkenntnisse entstehen. Einzelne Werke waren seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr zu sehen. Hinzu kommen aktuelle Ankäufe und Schenkungen, die nun erstmals präsentiert werden. Die zeitgenössische Kunst findet nun mehr Raum. Auf drei Etagen verteilt werden rund 450 Werke gezeigt.
Abbildungen: 1) Stephan Sinding, Adoratio (Anbetung), 1907, Marmor, 210 x 75 x 133 cm, Kunsthalle Bremen – Der Kunstverein in Bremen 2) Kaum zu unterscheiden: die Skulptur und das Tableau vivant von Olga Desmond und Adolf Salge https://bit.ly/2L2B0X2 3) Adoratio für Fotoaufnahmen im Depot

Turistas (2006)
Release Date: December 1st, 2006
A terrible horror movie that entails kidnapped Americans running through the Brazilian jungle to escape organ harvesters. That’s it, that’s all. It’s starring Josh Duhamel and Olivia Wilde as brother and sister, who both survive, of course. Their friends all die, except for one girl they met who speaks Portuguese, because she’s important as The Translator. It was less of a horror film and more of a gory action film, I guess. It shows a girls open abdomen, but there’s almost no suspense at all. It’s just not scary, it’s gross. And the entire last 20 minutes is spent swimming away from their captors in underground water caves. Is that scary to somebody? 
Rating: F. The only thing scary about it is that this event might actually have happened, minus the whole escaping part.

Living Statue ou Tableau Vivant
The tableau vivant, or group of living statues, was a regular feature of medieval and Renaissance festivities and pageantry, such as royal entries by rulers into cities. Typically a group enacting a scene would be mounted on an elaborate stand decorated to look like a monument, placed on the route of the procession. A living statue appeared in a scene of the 1945 French masterpiece film Les enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise), and early living statue pioneers include the London-based artists Gilbert and George in the 1960s. In the early years of the 20th century, the German dancer Olga Desmond put on “Evenings of Beauty” (Schönheitsabende) in which she posed nude in imitation of classical works of art ('living pictures').
Since 1996 the annual "World Statues Festival" is held in Arnhem, Netherlands, initially under the name "Rijnfestijn".
The University of Business and Social Sciences in Buenos Aires, Argentina has hosted a National Contest of Living Statues since the year 2000.[1]
Since 2011, the International Festival of Living Statues has been hosted by Masca Theatre in Bucharest, Romania, where there is a focus on developing the form through artistic research.[2]
Un tableau vivant (français : [tablo vivɑ̃] ; souvent abrégé en tableau ; pluriel : tableaux vivants), français pour « tableau vivant », est une scène statique contenant un ou plusieurs acteurs ou modèles. Ils sont immobiles et silencieux, généralement costumés, soigneusement posés, avec des accessoires et/ou des décors, et peuvent être éclairés de manière théâtrale. Il combine ainsi des aspects du théâtre et des arts visuels.
Un tableau peut être soit « joué » en direct, soit représenté en peinture, photographie et sculpture, comme dans de nombreuses œuvres des mouvements romantique, esthétique, symboliste, préraphaélite et Art nouveau.
À la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle, les tableaux comportaient parfois des poses plastiques ("poses flexibles") de modèles pratiquement nus, offrant une forme de divertissement érotique, à la fois sur scène et sur papier.
Les tableaux perdurent jusqu'à nos jours sous la forme de statues vivantes, d'artistes de rue qui s'amusent en posant en costume.
À l'occasion, une messe était ponctuée de courtes scènes dramatiques et de tableaux ressemblant à des tableaux. Ils étaient une caractéristique majeure des festivités pour les mariages royaux, les couronnements et les entrées royales dans les villes. Souvent, les acteurs imitaient des statues ou des peintures, à la manière des artistes de rue modernes, mais en groupes plus importants, et montaient sur des stands temporaires élaborés le long du chemin de la procession principale.[1] Johan Huizinga, dans L'Automne du Moyen Âge, décrit l'utilisation et la conception de tableaux vivants à la fin du Moyen Âge. De nombreuses peintures et sculptures recréent probablement des tableaux vivants, par lesquels les historiens de l'art rendent parfois compte de groupes de figures plutôt statiques. Les artistes étaient souvent les concepteurs de ce genre d'apparat public.
L'histoire des arts visuels occidentaux en général, jusqu'à l'ère moderne, s'est concentrée sur la présentation symbolique et arrangée et (à part le portrait personnel direct) était fortement dépendante des modèles d'artistes fixes en costume - essentiellement des tableaux vivants à petite échelle avec l'artiste comme public temporaire. Le mouvement du réalisme, avec des représentations plus naturalistes, n'a commencé qu'au milieu du XIXe siècle, une réaction directe contre le romantisme et sa forte dépendance au format de tableau stylisé.
Avant la radio, le cinéma et la télévision, les tableaux vivants étaient des formes de divertissement populaires, même dans les villes frontalières.[2] Avant l'ère de la reproduction en couleur des images, le tableau était parfois utilisé pour recréer des œuvres d'art sur scène, à partir d'une eau-forte ou d'un croquis d'un tableau. Cela pourrait être fait comme une aventure amateur dans un salon, ou comme une série de tableaux produits de manière plus professionnelle présentés sur une scène de théâtre, l'un à la suite de l'autre, généralement pour raconter une histoire sans nécessiter tous les attributs habituels et la production d'une représentation théâtrale complète. . Ils ont ainsi influencé la forme prise par les derniers spectacles de lanternes magiques de l'ère victorienne et édouardienne, et peut-être aussi des bandes dessinées narratives séquentielles (qui sont apparues pour la première fois sous une forme moderne à la fin des années 1890).
Les Tableaux vivants ont souvent été joués comme base pour les pièces de théâtre de la Nativité à l'école en Angleterre pendant la période victorienne ; la coutume est toujours pratiquée au lycée de Loughborough (considéré comme l'un des plus anciens lycées pour filles d'Angleterre). Plusieurs tableaux sont exécutés chaque année au service de chant de l'école, dont la représentation d'une gravure en grisaille (dans laquelle les sujets sont peints et habillés entièrement de gris).
La censure théâtrale en Grande-Bretagne et aux États-Unis interdisait aux actrices de se déplacer nues ou semi-nues sur scène, de sorte que les tableaux vivants ont eu une place dans le divertissement risqué pendant de nombreuses années. Au début des années 1900, la danseuse allemande Olga Desmond apparaît dans Schönheitsabende (« Soirées de beauté ») dans lequel elle pose nue dans des « tableaux vivants », imitant des œuvres d'art classiques.
Au XIXe siècle, les tableaux vivants prenaient des titres tels que « Nymphs Bathing » et « Diana the Huntress » et se trouvaient dans des endroits tels que le Hall of Rome de Great Windmill Street, à Londres. Les autres lieux étaient le Coal Hole in the Strand et le Cyder Cellar à Maiden Lane. Les poses plastiques nues et semi-nues étaient également une caractéristique fréquente des spectacles de variétés aux États-Unis : d'abord à Broadway à New York, puis ailleurs dans le pays. Les Ziegfeld Follies présentaient de tels tableaux de 1917. Le Windmill Theatre de Londres (1932-1964) présentait des poses plastiques nues sur scène ; c'était le premier et pendant de nombreuses années le seul lieu pour eux dans le Londres du 20e siècle.
Les tableaux vivants étaient souvent inclus dans les spectacles forains (comme on le voit dans le film A Taste of Honey de 1961). Ces émissions avaient largement disparu dans les années 1970. Les tableaux restent une attraction majeure lors du concours annuel des maîtres à Laguna Beach, en Californie.[3]

His first experiences in music she lived it in the study. She worked in the recording of jingles and even got a contract with a label.

This Week on NFB.ca: Explore Black History through 5 Films
February is Black History Month. Each year at this time, we go through our collection to bring you a selection of films that explore different aspects of Black culture.
Black History Month has existed in some form in Canada since the 1920s, but it only truly became what it is today in 1976. This year’s theme, as set by the Canadian Government, is Black Canadian Youth: Boundless, Rooted and Proud. We’ve put together a selection of films that we think fits the theme, and insight into issues you may not be too familiar with.
Everybody’s Children
People come from all sorts of different pasts. If they come from a bad one, sometimes they can get lucky and escape a similar fate. This film is a shining example of how one’s past doesn’t always dictate their future.
Meet Joyce and Sallieu, two teenage refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone, respectively. Filmmaker Monika Delmos takes her time and follows the two of them over the span of one year. She explores both their personal experiences as refugees, and the more common experience of going through their teens.

Black Soul
This beautifully animated short takes a 9-minute voyage through Black history and culture. It’s the result of one grandmother sharing her stories with her grandson, allowing him to explore his roots. From pharaohs and kings to gospel and jazz, the boy gets a thorough education by revisiting some of the defining moments of Black history.
The animation itself is spectacular. Painted directly under the camera, the images are rich, vibrant and swirl and transform fluidly. It’s simply gorgeous.

Journey to Justice
The new $10 bill featuring Viola Desmond is now in wide circulation across the country. It’s the first bill to feature a vertical design. It’s fitting for a woman as defiant as Desmond, who famously refused to vacate her seat in the White section of a Nova Scotia theatre in 1946.
Desmond’s story is but one of those covered in this film which highlights a group of unsung heroes throughout Canada’s Black history. These are the people who fought for civil rights and took racism on, even if it meant going to court. Their stories deserve to be told… and seen.

Christopher Changes His Name
This animated short hails from the Talespinners collection, a series devoted to exploring the history and traditions of diverse cultures. It’s the second film in the series to feature Christopher, our young hero.
In this story, young Christopher decides he’s no longer satisfied with his name. Too plain, too boring, too ordinary. He’s much more enthralled by the name Tiger, after his aunt from Trinidad tells an engrossing tale about one. But then he gets a better idea, and he might just keep going except he discovers there are consequences to his hasty actions.

Show Girls
Exploring a singular aspect of Montreal’s own Black history, this documentary takes us into the Black jazz scene from the 1920s all the way through to the 1960s.
Bernice, Tina, and Olga danced in the hottest clubs of the day, including Rockhead’s Paradise, The Terminal, and Café St. Michel. From pre-war to post-war these women entertained. Take the opportunity to hear their stories and see some rarely seen footage from the time. It’s a fascinating film, filled with song, dance, and perhaps most of all, pride.
