[tare-anime]

I love to see Loid's protective side towards Yor growing at a steady pace.

Loid has always been so protective towards Yor from the beginning, even before he himself was aware.

As shown at chp. 5

Here, he has just met Yor, but the moment Swan dared to stomp on her feelings, he got agitated and defend her right away. Even though, he still able to stop himself, and rationalize things.

It happened again during chp. 30

Look at how fast Loid's expression changed from "Hey, what are you doing here, Fiona?" Into "I dare you to say another word about Yor (grrrr)", at the exact moment Fiona dare to imply how worthless Yor was.

Still, after this time, once again Loid rationalized all of actions are for mere mission sake, even though we know during later chapter that he dislike the disguise that imply he and Fiona were married couple.

During Wheeler arc, at chp. 86, Loid finally aware about his "weakness". And that weakness is someone named Yor.

(smh. 🙄🙄 This man really is slow in learning about feelings. But he is getting there......)

Nevertheless, this realization really evoke his protective side. And almost immediately after this moment, he started to actively move to protect Yor, even in the slightest sign of possible 'attack'.

At the latest chapter, chp. 94, a.k.a only in 6 chapters later, he even starts to actively use his physical power to prevent even the slightest discomfort to happen towards Yor.

Look at how hard Loid gripped that man's arm for daring to suggest tying Yor up. And that glare??? Geeezzzz.....

Now, I have a desperate need to see Loid going full attack towards someone who dares to hurt Yor either pysiologically or (is it possible?) physically in somekind of situation like maybe something like (shameless self promotion here) my fic.

Please Endoooooo, I'm begging you..... 🙏🙏

Give us more protective and jealous Loid.

I need to see it 😫😫😫😫😫

Anya loves the mama who cleans up her hot cocoa mess the most in the world.

One of the thing that frustrates me about the series is the constant acknowledgement of Yor not being able to cook (especially since good at cooking = good wife is such a sexiest worldview that only the likes of Murdoch Swan can concoct). So this is going to be a Yor appreciation post that talks about the things Yor is good at.

Yor for some reason is very good at preparing hot beverages, It’s the first thing we see her doing; pour tea.

We see Yor making tea all the time, in the Forger residence if Yor is in the kitchen then it’s most often to make tea. There is a symbolic meaning to this I guess, the beverages are representative of Yor herself, it’s familiarity in a world that changes swiftly, a constant reminder that even in the whirlwind of life, there's a place of serenity within the walls of home.

When Loid is frustrated with the interview preparation and deems the task hopeless, we have Yor brings in tea a sense of order and tranquility, fostering a connection to the present moment.

The interview went terrible and Loid is afraid Operation Strix has ended, Yor comes in with tea and along with Anya encourages Loid to find hope. They end up cheering together and looking forward to the results. Thus the warmth of tea is wrapped around the soul, bringing a smile to even the coldest of days.

When Loid is frustrated at Anya because of her failing grades, Yor offers tea and advice on how to best support Anya, she also validates Loid roles as Anya’s father thus reinforces a sense of unity and belonging in forger household.

Fiona is all confident in how twilight likes to drink his coffee dark, only believing that he choose to take milk because it’s “Loid’s” preference.

Thank god for little Anya because we get to know what his true feeling on the matter are.

Basically Tea/Coffee/Hot Cocoa making is Yor’s Job and something she likes to do. When Yuri burst in and Loid offers to make tea instead because he wanted to gain control of the situation and put on the no-weakness front, ergo Yuri sees his arm twitch, and the seed of doubt is planted. If only Loid had listened to Yor then maybe Yuri wouldn’t have seen the spasm.

Being perfect won’t help Loid, perfectionism will not help him survive but cause his downfall. The mole arc has helped Loid in coming to terms with his feelings a bit, but he insists on calling it weakness or being compromised. He needs to start seeing his family as a source of strength rather than taking on all the responsibilities. Because so far his I need to do it by myself approach has only caused him tummyaches, stress, burnout, and exhaustion. He is overworked and feels overwhelmed by the constant need to meet his own high standards as set by Spy World.

As the Other WISE Spy said, we can't just get a clean win, but it's still progress, Loid is beginning to share some of his workloads and eased Yor's gripes. But man Twiyor is a slowburn: Their love story is like tea that's been steeping for ages - strong, full of flavor, and comforting warmth.

[tare-anime]

Yes, this. 100% 👏👏👏

So the thing is; I don’t think Yuri has like a loli con sister fetish thing going on. As fun as it is to shit on him for it and as weird as it is sometimes I think he just loves her and because he probably has no/very little memory of his parents and he’s definitely never had a romantic relationship in his life the only person in his life that he loves is his sister and so my take is that his brain never actually learnt to differentiate between all the different kinds of love you can have for people.

Like ofcourse objectively he knows the difference between romantic love and platonic but also Yuri at times is still mentally at the childhood phase of I love my mom and I’m going to marry her because I love her so much and that’s apparently what you do when you love someone.

Because honestly if he really was weirdly romantically in love with Yor I don’t think Anya would bother him so much like hes just as jealous of Anya as he is of Loid which would just not be the case if he actually knew how to differentiate between all the different kinds of love. If he really was romantically attracted to yor I think he’d make a bit of a bigger show to show how “fatherly” he could be (even tho she’s technically Loid’s child)

Yuri just really loves his sister like when little kids have feelings that are too big for them to put of reach to explain or do anything other than experience them at full intensity. There is no one else hes allowed himself to share his life with in anyway. He has no real friends no parents or parental figures and he has no partner he literally only has his sister she’s his entire life.

And yor was kind of like that too Im the beginning wrapped up in Yuri everything she did was to ensure Yuri didn’t worry it wasnt as intense as Yuri’s cause York’s not as single minded but like look at them in the last chapter Yor actually sets and enforces strict boundaries on Yuri and how he can talk about her family when just a couple chapters ago she let him talk smack about her fake marriage in her living room. Yor has grown she has let other people into her life it’s bigger and it’s settled on away thay Yuri can’t push back against. And just like she’s always done as his big sister she is teaching him, modeling for him how to open up his life, how they can expand to include other people in this little world of theirs and they will still have space for each other that they’ll still have love for each other.

And yuri’s first instinct is to make their world small again to make it safe take them back to when it was just them until he realizes that’s not making the world safe hes just sealing them in an airtight jar. And he lets go. He calms down and he goes home and I think the fact that he didn’t just stay home eating food that reminded him of his childhood of Yor instead he accepts the invitation, it’s why Chloe and his first commander are so important he letting his world expand just a little bit. That he gets the little sheets Yor wanted to get for Anya. It’s proof it’s all proof that Yuri’s growing up. Hes learning to let the life in.

[Spy x Family Chapter 86 Spoilers] What I believe Twilight's unfinished thought would have been.

"...Which is why-- I'll make a world where that won't need to be true."

Twilight has built up this reputation of being the perfect spy who can put aside emotion and feeling for the sake of the mission. Yet with Operation Strix, it's the first time that a sliver of his real self behind the Twilight identity he has became, buried deep within his subconscious, is forced to shine. And it's this dim light peering through the walls of his heart that, for the first time in his career as a spy, inadvertently ends up helping his mission. Operation Strix progresses when the hint of real feeling is allowed to take control. He's so used to being the perfect spy who never gets anything wrong and never lets his emotions guide him. Yet, when he acts as Twilight, the man who puts his goals above all else, it strains the relationship between himself and Anya and Yor, and by consequence, the mission.

There's a reason Yor's smiling face is front and center in the panel. He's thinking about her. The mission to capture Winston Wheeler is the first time Twilight gets close to acknowledging that she has affected him. But he's never able to outright say it, because if he did, then that would completely shatter the mask he's worked so hard to maintain. Yet, instead of unpacking the Pandora's box that are his feelings, in his conversation with Nightfall, he re-frames his decision to avoid the reality that the Twilight mask is slipping.

It's at this point that even if Twilight himself doesn't recognize it yet, it's clear he's fallen for Yor. The Yor who is incredibly dense. The Yor who is a terrible cook. The Yor who gets easily flustered; who doesn't understand how to be "normal". That Yor.

Twilight has been with countless women for the sake of missions before. Undoubtedly, he's been with some of them far longer than he has with her. They're certainly not perfect either. So what makes Yor so special? It's because, for the first time in his life, he's able to be his real self, even if partially. And that is terrifying for him. He believes it's a weakness, and in a lot of ways, he has a point. His job is too dangerous for letting his feelings get in the way. And yet, it's those feelings of his that help him advance Operation Strix.

He doesn't want the imperfectly perfect Yor who means too much to him now to go. He will build a better world for her sake.

[localfandom]

ok yuri is starting to just be a prick

[tare-anime]

Btw, I just realized...

Yor *will* never get in trouble with the SSS to begin with.

SSS will never touch her because:

1. She's Yuri's brother, and the entire SSS know about that

2. She's the Garden member. SSS will never touch her on that fact alone.

So there're never the urgency of Yor getting married "to blend in" or "being suspected for being single" on the first place.

And yet, Shopkeeper let her do it anyway. And follow along with her (unnecessary) reasons.

She's truly Shopkeeper's favorite.

I wonder why is that? 👀

(I mean of course, who wouldn't love Yor. But..... hmmmm )

[tare-anime]

Yeeeesssss 100%

This is exactly why the Briar siblings reveal will be way more angstier than TwiYor reveal.

I also think if one day Loid knows about Yor's job, he will do whatever he can to keep Yuri's secret from her, and eventually, when it come out, Yor will be even more dissapointed by both of them.

I'm really afraid of Briar reveal secrets reveal, but I'm also curious at the same time 🤭🤭🤭🤭

The Briar Siblings' Lies

It's very interesting that in the family of lies and secrets, the lies of the Briar siblings are included, and I'm pretty sure that will play a role whenever they find out about each other.

I expect Yor to be heartbroken and angry at Loid when she'll find out his lies, but I'd also expect her to be heartbroken and disappointed when she finds out how much Yuri lied to her.

Yor might have kept her own very dangerous secrets, but there are huge differences in their circumstances.

Yor took up her assassin gig when she was just a teenager, orphaned and with a little brother to take care of. Amidst the cold war brewing, there would be various criminal organizations looking for people to drag in, and a poor, desperate, kind, and almost supernaturally strong teenage girl was the perfect recruit for Garden.

Whether this is Garden's initiative or not, Yor has a strong determination to kill her targets as quickly and as painlessly as possible, along with avoiding unnecessary bloodshed. She has studied human anatomy specifically for this very reason, to be able to kill her victims with mercy. She's realistic about the situations she's in, but if talking things through is even a tiny bit possible, she'll give it a try.

Though her morals are slightly skewed for the average civilian - it's understandable to kill someone in self defense, but her main targets are situations where she plays judge, jury and executioner - she's still retained a lot of her humanity that allows her to be a kind person and a caring sister, mother and wife.

And then you have Yuri.

Yuri fell victim to a more sinister kind of indoctrination - extremism and bigotry. Having grown up in poverty caused by the war and the deaths of his parents, and having an overwhelming wish to protect his sister, he was the perfect target for Ostania's nationalistic propaganda.

But the tragic background leading up to this choice and the want to protect his family is where his similarities with Yor's case end.

Yuri wasn't left with no other choices. Yor was already supporting him financially when he started working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and that was a job that he could stay at and be independent. He was older than Yor was when she became an assassin. I can assume that some underhanded methods were used to lead him into the duties of the SSS, but even so Yuri had more control of the situation, more choices to choose from, and more information at hand. It's directly opposite to Yor's circumstances.

Yuri tortures people. The SSS specifically want him, despite his young age and lack of experience, exactly because he won't hold anything back, even when it makes him feel conflicted.

The SSS may be taking advantage of the ease with which he tortures people, but it's still something Yuri willingly participates in - and again, considering the fame of the SSS among civilians, it's almost certain Yuri knew what he was getting into. He's giving up his own humanity, going down a path of "us vs. them" and while Yor plays judge on who gets to live, Yuri plays judge on who gets to be treated like a human being.

While two similarly dangerous and demanding professions, and (at least according to what Franky says) following the same government's orders, it's two highly different cases. I think Yuri will be mostly horrified to learn what Yor went through for his sake, but Yor will be very understandably heartbroken. Yuri could understand that Yor had no other choice, but Yor will know that Yuri had all the best choices right in front of him, and yet he chose this.

And it's why I believe this is the revelation that will hurt Yor more. She could explain Twilight's lies by the fact that they didn't know each other before, she could explain Anya's secrets by her young age and innocence, but there will be very little for Yuri to stand on - and the thing is, Yuri knows that. He knows that what he's chosen to become isn't what Yor raised him to be.

Currently he may be seeing himself as a martyr for his cause, that he needed to potentially break his sister's heart in order to protect her and "the country she lives in". He'd rather have her feeling heartbroken and betrayed by him than with her life and safety in danger. He'd rather her hate him than get hurt.

How will it hit him when he realizes she's already been doing the same for him, and has already been endangering her life for over a decade for not only his sake, but for the world in general too? When he realizes all the work he's been doing to protect her was in vain because she has been walking into danger herself all along?

It's a really interesting dynamic, because the revelation could either break them or make them. They both have a very heartwarming background together, they both love each other deeply, but it's a trial they'll both have to go through at some point.

(Anime only fan here, don't spoil me for the manga)

[therealtbonetpm]

I swear Yor's eyes and expressions in general look SO DIFFERENT as the manga progresses. She goes from being pretty lifeless and calculating in the first chapters to becoming this sweet, sensitive, considerate person full of love and compassion. This is an example of chapter 2 vs. chapter 91 btw. Just wow.

[nekoro-san]

*SxF spoiler*

Confirmed Yuri has watched Bondman with his niece 👍 ( a little progress for him to getti ng attached to Forger I think ? )

Or it’s maybe based on the lightnovel when Anya asks Yuri to imitate as police in a career center because she watched a cartoon about a police catching criminals and make them eat prison food. ( maybe he watched that cartoon with her after that?)

[tare-anime]

Yes yes yeeeessss 🥰🥰🥰 totally love this analysis.

Amazing as always 🥰🥰🥰

The fear of evolving…

Okay, we’re back with a new chapter of SxF 114, and Endo leaves us with a deep reflection.

And yes, this will be a long post with spoilers.

Sheets and toothbrush new…

Focusing on the chapter, we see that it revolves around a family outing with Yor and Yuri, where they spend quality time together. The outing starts with Yuri desperately wanting to buy something that will please Yor. However, this turns out to be quite challenging when what Yor wants are household items that remind her of her husband and daughter.

This is very frustrating for Yuri, who just wants the chance to indulge Yor's personal whims and feel the satisfaction of "providing" for her, both materially and emotionally. But I’ll come back to this point later

Yor should drink alcohol more often... please?

Once at the restaurant, Yuri expresses his frustration that everything in Yor's mind is centered around her family and not on her individuality. In Yor’s angelic mind, she constantly thinks like a mother and a wife, which leads Yuri—who tends to have extreme thoughts—to see her as someone losing her individual identity just to fulfill a role (which isn’t true).

Yuri's criticism is, to some extent, constructive. Many people feel frustrated when they find themselves boxed into a role that prevents them from exploring their individuality. In fact, part of the lessons Yor is learning is to think for herself and to be "a little" more selfish by wanting to have friends, go out, and maybe even pick up a hobby. But we all know that this journey is slow and must be surrounded by positive stimuli that show us that being "authentic" and a bit selfish can be healthy.

....To love is also to fulfill stages...

However, Yuri's mistake is believing that Yor is in an oppressive and dictatorial environment, when it’s clear that the Forger family has become a "safe space" that provides Yor with validation, love, and understanding—enough for her to want to explore her own tastes on her own, even if they are very small steps. For Yor, the role of mother is deeply intertwined with her identity; she grew up fulfilling this role at a young age, and her sweet and strong heart instinctively makes her a wonderful mother.

The issue is that, like all mothers, fulfilling this role or mission with her children has a set timeframe. You will never stop being a mother or pather, but the stage of "dependence" has an expiration date.

Of course, Yor longs for Yuri's childhood and treasures those wonderful memories because it was a stage of life that she knows will not return (and she will likely experience again when Anya is an adult). For Yor, taking care of her brother, providing affection, food (even if it’s toxic), and looking after his health (to the point of almost harming him) was not a sacrifice; it wasn’t an obligation that frustrated her. She loved doing it because she loved her brother. Although she knew that this made her miss many experiences, she also understands that it gave her a purpose that kept her clinging to life for a long time, helping her not to face the void and absence of her parents alone.

Yor has gone through various stages and allowed other people into her life to gain new experiences and expand her emotional connections (the Forger family). Now she has a husband (with whom she occasionally gets heated and drunk), a beautiful daughter (who drools on blankets), and a dog that scratches.

But… what is really happening with Yuri? Now, here comes the more complex part:

Yuri has grown physically; he is an adult, has a job, and earns a good salary. However, emotionally, his mind is still that of a child.

For Yuri, emotional connections (love) are grounded in dependency—in other words, a provider-receiver dynamic. In this view, the person who provides fills the other with love and care, and the receiver must be grateful. This is the flawed perception Yuri has of Yor's role in his life.

Yuri believes that since Yor has been everything to him, the only way to repay her and maintain their bond is by reversing the roles and paying her back with even greater value and effort. He is stuck in a stage that prevents his love from evolving into a new phase. In part, Yuri has also sacrificed his childhood and adolescence to become a productive adult because he thinks the only way for his relationship with Yor to work is for one of them to be completely dependent on the other. His fear of evolving is tied to the belief that if their love changes, it means "I don't need you anymore, I don't love you."

The issue is that Yor doesn’t need a single source of affection because she now has a broader support circle.

Yuri holds an irreplaceable place in Yor's heart and life (which is why she cherishes her childhood memories).

However, Yuri clings to the mistaken belief that if one doesn’t depend on the other, he will soon be pushed aside and left behind. This leads him to want to remain the same child, living in the mountains and recreating his past—holding on to a stage of his life that he views as the only happy one. He believes that without Yor in his life, he no longer has purpose as a person or individual, nor any source of affection.

I know Yuri is a pain and his head is full of nonsense, but Endo's subtlety shows that beneath those layers of discomfort, oddities, shouts, grunts, and other flaws, there’s a good guy. Even against his will, he bought the things Yor wanted (for their family).

It’s now that he realizes everything he thought he had to do to "stay" by Yor’s side doesn’t actually satisfy him; on the contrary, it frustrates him even more when he arrives at an empty room. Many times, we cling to dynamics and fill our heads with goals and expectations, believing that this way "things won’t change" out of fear of loneliness, when in reality, the effect is the opposite.

Friend! I'm not even going to think about where I get so many photos from!

It’s hopeful that Yuri doesn’t have to be "truly" alone without Yor. Even if he doesn’t realize it, he already has friends, colleagues, and someone interested (and a bit jealous) in him waiting on the other end of the call. This suggests that if Yor has found her place with the Forgers, perhaps Yuri is closer to understanding that he has more people around him than he thinks.

Bonus +

We love Chloe, who is panicked (and jealous) that Yuri is going on dates!

[wondrousmay]

If Plan C moves forward, I fear the slander against Loid is going to get so much worse…

[yumeka-sxf]

The school vacation is over and the new term at Eden is starting...of course, Anya is less than pleased with this development 😅

Seriously, her groaning reminds me of my "anti-school" phase I had when I was around her age, lol.

This chapter was mainly focused on introducing Anya's new classmates. I'll admit that I feel SxF has enough side characters already for the type of series it is, but maybe they'll only be relevant for one story/arc (like Daybreak and Wheeler). Though having another female friend in Connie might be nice. She seems weird enough for Anya to have fun reading her mind 😂

Since recent chapters have dropped hints about Anya's past and the emphasis on mind-reading abilities/the occult via Melinda, plus we have the lingering mystery of Anya's affinity for classical languages, I feel like this new set up at Eden is going to play into that. Not only has Arnold returned, but we now have a supposed prince in the mix. It's been theorized that Anya's classical language skills are somehow tied to royalty in a foreign land...so maybe Tertius is connected to that somehow. I mean, you must be royally royal to have hair shaped like a crown 🤣

Then we have the as-of-yet unnamed kid who flicked a booger on Tertius. Curious what role he'll play if all this is indeed leading up to more Anya backstory reveal.

I should clear up some weird translation in the English version. In the below panel, it seems like Tertius is mentioning Jeeves, but the term he's using is 爺や ("jiiya") which I believe is an old term used to refer to an elderly male servant.

Now the word "jeeves" in English is a generic term used to refer to a butler or valet. If you've watched enough movies and/or TV series, you may have heard someone refer to their butler as "jeeves." So technically it's not an incorrect translation, but it's incredibly confusing because we already have an established character named Jeeves, who is Damian's butler. So this could make people think that Tertius knows Jeeves, which is likely not the case. They really should have come up with a different word to use, something like "pop" or "gramps."

Besides the new characters, we now have more potential for Anya and Damian to be alone, without influence from Emile, Ewen, and Becky. Hopefully it will lead to more talk about Anya's mind-reading and Desmond lore.

Guess that's all I have to say about this chapter as it mostly seems like setup for what's to come. I've probably mentioned before that the Eden-focused stories aren't exactly my favorites, especially when Anya isn't a key player. But hopefully whatever's going on with Tertius and the booger kid will be leading up to something significant in the end.

Interestingly, this is the first chapter since Loid's backstory that's being split into parts, as this chapter is called 112.1 (112 part 1 in the Japanese version). Similar to what he did for Loid's backstory chapters, Endo tweeted about this for chapter 112. Guess it's just gonna be two parts?

Also, on an unrelated note, we also got the cover reveal for volume 15 today! Features Martha, not surprised since it will include chapters from the Henry/Martha backstory arc.

[tare-anime]

Oh yeeesss 🥰🥰🥰 love this analysis 🥰🥰

Hmmm

114.1:

and 114:

and also 103:

Still fully anticipating a Yor arc upcoming and the maths are mathing, is what I'm saying

(More seriously, it gave me vibes from 58.2 when Twilight and Bond save Daisy the pup from the fire, and Twilight gives his "You have to take care of yourself because there's someone waiting for you at home" speech - more specifically to the theory that 58.1-58.2 are the concluding chapters for the Cruise Arc*, and so is in direct dialogue with Yor's speech "Even if it means living a life that could end at any moment... even if it means leaving the Forger family," recommitment to self-sacrifice... Do you see the dots?)

*I alas don't have access to this theory: I read it summarised somewhere (reddit?) that it's a popular theory on the Japanese side of fandom and haven't been able to shake it since. But if anyone has links, pls drop 'em!

[whateversawesome]

About Twiyor, Damianya and Chapter 96

Let me start by saying that, I like both stories and that both ships are great precisely because they're so different:

Twiyor is a relationships between two adults. Is it developing slowly? Yes, of course. The slow-pacing of the relationship is what makes it so real. Here's why:

Entering a relationship as an adult, and I mean any kind of relationship (romantic, friendship, or even work relationship) can be tricky. Why? Well, adults have more experience, they've seen and gone through more things, the carry psychological issues, and, in some cases (like Twilight's) trauma. All this makes it difficult to open up and trust people. Twight's character arch is precisely about trust and vulnerability and that's one of the issues that pushes the story forward.

So, even though I would love to see Twiyor kiss like in many fics, this will take time. Maybe it's not as obvious because there's not a lot of physical contact between them (yet 😏), but there's definitely progress in their relationship (more on that here and here).

The development of their relationship is so beautiful! Can you see it too? On one side, we have a man who lost everything and thinks of himself only as a tool for peace slowly regaining his humanity through love. On the other hand, we have an innocent woman turned into a weapon, who is slowly realizing she's much more than that, and getting to know herself while falling in love. Come on!!! You don't want to miss that!

Even though it may take a while to get there, I think it's one of those things worth the wait.

Now Damianya in my opinion is about innocence and the development of a deep friendship.

Talking specifically about chapter 96, to me, it makes sense that Anya's secret slipped out. I don't think she consciously decided to tell Damian. I believe it just kind of slipped out because:

1.It's easier for kids to trust other kids and open up.

2. This is the second time Damian guessed her secret.

3. They are kindred spirits; they both were "abandoned" children (Anya while she was in the orphanage, Damian by his family) and they both seek the approval and love of their father.

4. She often uses her abilities in front of Damian and he pays enough attention to her to realize something is off.

Let me ask you something: have you ever been forced to keep a secret?

Keeping a secret is a heavy burden, isn't it? Can you imagine a 5 year old carrying that kind of burden for so long? It doesn't help that Anya was returned to the orphanage by several different families. It's implied in the story that Anya used her telepathic abilities and the other families considered her too strange too keep her. This is the reason why Anya has kept quiet: she doesn't want to be abandoned again.

Still, it must be hard for her to carry that and to feel that people wouldn't accept her exactly for who she is if they knew about her secret. So, I'm happy she was able to tell someone. In some ways, her arch is similar to Twilight's: Anya is also learning it's okay for people to see her real self and trust they will still love her. I hope that in the future, Anya learns that she can trust her parents too and I think trusting someone else is a big step into that direction.

I know it will also take some time, but I can't wait for both stories (and all the stories) in sxf to merge into one. It'll be a very exciting time or everyone when that happens.

[tare-anime]

He basically said: It is tiring to be perfect all the time. (I have to do it because of my job, but you don't have to.) Just be yourself and be happy.

She literally said: (Right back at ya.) You also don't need to be perfect in front of me. You can always rely on me.

They are too cute, your honor. I can't--

[misseverandever]

guys it’s not like I don’t ship Twiyor but some Twiyor fans get my nerves.

I'm very glad that SXF is written by Endo and not by these gross fans.

I love Twiyor and their dynamics. I also love Damianya, but keep in mind, Operation Strixs is the main focus making clear that Damianya will make more appearances. Duh!

I know Plan C exists, but we need development from Plan B for Plan C to maybe work. Endo is introducing a lot of new characters, maybe Anya's new classmates and a possible separation from Damian. We need the story to move forward, and this implies not focusing solely on Twiyor. Jss, stop reading fanfiction only.
