[aerequets]

twiyor falling in love, not in a "sudden realization and rush of butterflies and heart beating fast" kind of way but the way in which they choose. where he chooses to pick up an apple tart from the bakery, and she chooses to learn how to knot a tie. where he chooses to steer her away when he can tell a conversation is making her uncomfortable, and she chooses to ground him when she can tell his mind is wandering far away. where they both choose to sit on the couch together instead of going to bed an hour early. where he will choose to take Anya to the park so she can rest, and she will do the exact same thing the very next day.

because love is an action, love is a choice.

Loving the Damian jealousy arc as well as his fantasies about Anya marrying a prince for world peace.

Macaroni Soup

Dedicated to @shiro-s2e2-erukinzu and @tare-chan because they're so adorbs

"See y'all tomorrow!"

"Bye!"

I bid my coworkers goodbye before taking the turn at the corner of the street. I had a half-day at city hall today. My next assasin gig won't be given until the weekend so luckily I can rest for the rest of the day!

Or maybe I should practice cooking or sewing? I haven't thoroughly read the homemaking magazine I bought last week. I have to work hard. I need to be more useful or else Loid will end up collapsing from taking care most of the chores...

"Oh! You're already back, Mrs. Forger!" The old lady neighbor greeted me as I ascended the stairs.

"Yes. The city hall was only open half-day for today. But everything will be back on regular schedule tomorrow."

"Is that so? Then have rest and relax yourself, dear."

"Thank you, I will."

I'm becoming more and more comfortable talking to our neighbors. I feel like I'm improving. I feel like I'm getting good at acting normal!

I can't erase the smile that's on my face even when I'm already at the door. Now I need to work hard and learn more about homemaking. Loid will be delighted once I get better!

"Okay! I should try harder! Let's practice sewi-"

I stepped on something as I walked through. Down on the floor I saw Loid lying.

"Loid!"

I kneeled beside him and shook him.

"Loid what are you doing here? What happened to you?"

He's hot. He has fever!

It's my fault... I couldn't do other chores and Loid kept on doing them for me.

I immediately hoisted him up. He gained consciousness and looked at me in confusion.

"Yor? Why are you..." He spoke hoarsely.

"You have a fever! Let's get you over to your room so you can rest!"

"No, Yor. I can..."

I put his arm over my shoulder and grabbed him by the waist. I assisted him as he walked but instead of heading to his room, he pointed to the couch instead.

"You want to rest here?"

He nodded weakly in response.

I helped him sit down then gave him a glass of water. I sat beside him and waited for him to finish drinking. I took the glass away and placed it on the table. He's pale and could barely open his eyes.

"How about work?" He asked, finally sounding better after drinking water.

"Today's a half-day. Stay right there. I'll get you a pillow and blanket."

I got up to fetch them but was stopped by Loid.

"You don't have to-"

"I'm sorry, Loid. If only I knew how to sew and iron clothes... I should've went to the supermarket and returned back Anya's books to the library instead of leaving them to you. No wonder you ended up sick because you're tired of doing everything by yourself."

"N-No, Yor! I di-"

"I'll get your pillow and blanket."

Then his hand let go of mine. I only realized that he grabbed my hand after letting go.

I brought back a pillow and blanket with me. To my surprise, he's trying to get up. I dropped the pillow and blanket and immediately rushed to him.

"No, Loid! You're sick! You and Yuri... Why are you both stubborn when you're sick? Remember, what a sick person only needs to do is to get well!"

"I have... to go..."

This is no time for Loid to think about work? Is his fever so bad that he became delirious?! Should I knock him unconscious by force?!

No no, Yor! You can't do that to a sick person! It won't do anything goo-

"Hm..."

Loid's sudden weight on me cut off my thoughts. His head landed on my shoulder and he struggled to make himself upright again. Instead of being able to do so, he ended up snuggling his head to my neck.

"H-Huh?!"

"Hm..."

Then I felt his breath tickle me. It was hot.

"Eeek!"

In shock, I pushed him away and causing him to drop and bump the edge of the couch. I earned a wince from him.

"Loid! I-I'm sorry! Did it hurt?!"

What did I do? I must have put too much force! Yor! You should be taking care of him instead of hurting him!

I kneeled to check on him. He passed out but his breathing is not too heavy.

"I'm so sorry, Loid." I muttered as I put up his legs on the other end of the couch.

I put the pillow under his head and covered him with the blanket.

What should I do?! What should I do?

"Remember what you heard from Sharon the other day, Yor! Remember what to do just like whenever Yuri gets sick! You can do this."

Should I make honeyed water? But there are no beehives around! How about the herbs? Where should I get them? No-no, no! Don't be silly! Honey can be bought from the supermarket.

"Bond! Can you watch ove-"

I fell silent upon remembering that Franky took Bond out this morning and he said that they might take a longer walk than usual. Anya is still at school so no one is around.

I have no choice but to leave Loid for a moment.

I covered Loid with blanket and put a cold towel on his forehead.

Then I made a quick run to the supermarket. I bought honey and fruits and different kinds of medicine. I dashed back as soon as I have paid. When I went back, Loid is still sound asleep.

I knelt down and took his hand.

He must be very tired. He collapsed and it's my fault for being so incapable...

I held his hand with both of my hands. Maybe if I hold it long enough, I can take away his fever.

I thought I can finally be at ease but I suddenly thought that he might not have eaten anything since he didn't leave the house at all.

It's already past noon! Loid might be starving now! I probably should cook porridge. Come to think of it, Loid cooked something like that before and it was really delicious. But how do I make it?! I don't know how to cook it. I'll have to ask for Camilla's help...

I called Camilla to ask for her help over the phone. Then I asked her if she can teach me how to cook rice porridge. I got an earful at first but I'm always thankful that she's helping me in the end. She said she's not familiar with the kind of porridge I'm talking about so she asked me what I have and gave me a recipe that will let me make something easy. I wrote down her instructions and thanked her again.

I started making Camilla's chicken macaroni soup right away. I did my best to follow her instructions correctly. I diced the carrots just as big as my pinky and boiled the pasta shells on exact time. But despite my efforts, i still managed to deform most of the pasta and shred the chicken into very thin strands. I did not put too much salt because I was told that it's easier for sick people to eat bland foods.

"Phew!"

I carefully poured some into a bowl.

Just in time, Loid woke up. He weakly sit himself up and looked around. When his eyes met mine, I was suddenly reminded of what happened.

Does he know what he did just a while ago?

I held my breath for a moment before breaking off the silence.

"How are you feeling, Loid?" I asked, taking the towel from hIm.

"I... My head hurts... Were you cooking?"

"Yes. I'm making macaroni soup if that's fine with you."

"I'm sorry, Yor. I've troubled you. Don't you have work? I'll be fine here. You should head back to work." He said.

"We have a half day, remember? I told you earlier."

"Sorry... My mind is hazy..."

"How about resting in your room instead?"

He glanced towards his room then turned to me. His eyes reflected something I couldn't fathom.

"No. I... feel better in this open space than in my confined room."

"If you insist..."

I brought over the soup to the low table and sat on the other chair.

"You're probably hungry. Here's the macaroni soup. I asked for my coworker's help over the phone and she taught me this recipe. I'm still bad at cooking but I did my best to follow her instructions."

He stared at the bowl then glanced at me.

"Thanks, Yor. I appreciate it." He said with a soft smile.

That smile of his gave a tug to my chest and warmed me up inside. I found myself smiling back.

"I've already eaten lunch with my coworkers so don't mind me. Do you think you can eat on your own? Or should I feed you?"

Loid suddenly turned to me with a surprised look. It took me a moment to realize what I just said.

"N-Never mind! L-Let me get you a spoon!"

I waited for him to taste it.

"H-How was it? I didn't put too much salt so it must be too bland to your taste..."

"I can't really taste much right now but it's appetizing. It's easy to eat and comforting."

"Really?!

"Yes." He replied.

"I'm relieved to hear that..."

Loid scooped up some more. I'm glad that I was able to cook another decent dish aside from stew.

"I'm very sorry, Loid. You got sick because you kept doing most of the chores. If only I was good with other things..."

"You don't have to apologize, Yor. It's not your fault that I caught a cold. Remember when it rained last time? I was drenched when I came home from work and now I caught the cold."

"But..."

Wait, "last time"? When? Did it really rain?

I was about to ask about it but Loid spoke again.

"By the way, you used milk? I can faintly taste it."

"H-Huh? Oh! I did!" I said.

"And there's carrots. Anya doesn't like carrots but I think she'll like this nonetheless."

"D-Do you think so?" I asked.

He stopped eating and faced me.

"Of course. Have more confidence, Yor. There's no need for you to force yourself. You're already doing you're best as it is so you'll definitely improve soon. Not only in cooking but also with other things. I would like it if you'd stay comfortable here as part of the Forger Family without being hard on yourself."

His words warmed my heart. I can't help but smile.

"Okay... Ah! Let me get you water."

Then Loid held out the bowl.

"Is there still more? I want to ask for another serving. I guess I need to eat more so I can get well right away." He said with a smile.

"Of course!"

I willingly did as he requested and gave him seconds.

"Yor."

"Yes?"

"Thanks for everything and..."

"And?" I let him continue.

"If... Anya or I get sick, can you cook this soup again?"

My eyes grew wide in surprise and I beamed up with a smile.

He's encouraging me this much so it's only right for me to do my best.

"Of course! I'll definitely cook some for you!"

I started watching Spy X Family and I didn't realize it was gonna be so fucking cute.

Fake dating/married is one of my favourite tropes ever. And I loved Mr and Mrs Smith. So this is right up my alley however.

I can just tell it's gonna be an extremely slow burn romance and I'm already dying. Loid and Yor are so flipping cute.

The JJK chokehold remains but now we get to add some slow burn, pining, and unrequited (but actually not) feelings (at least I'm assuming. It feels like that kind of prolonged misunderstanding).

Bring it.

[greetings-inferiors]

Oh my god you guys spy x family is getting so good omg omg omg THIS NEW CHAPTER IS INSANE

The next chapter is going to be insane-r BUT I DON’T WANNA WAIT ANOTHER 11 DAYS 😭😭😭

[alicenpai]

do people still like spy x family? i have a sticker sheet half sketched out from way before anime north but didnt finish, and im wondering if i should complete it? 🤔🤔

i dont watch new anime anymore (sorry.. im a hater..) but at a friend's recommendation, being a long time fan, i started reading the manga instead. i watched a bit of the anime too, but i honestly prefer the manga bc tatsuya endo has such a strong grip on draftsmanship and has such a fun and wonderful art style?? me: who cares about the cute fake family dynamic im here for the the. cold war politics/culture and spy fiction tropes 😩 it's just like reading james bond the manga

[nebulations]

[ID: A Spy x Family gifset. Loid takes off his hat and gestures gallantly to Yor as a chaffeur opens the door to a nice car behind them. Loid smiles, "Allow me to take your hand." Internally, Loid envisions a huge branching chart and a counter that ticks up to 862 as he thinks confidently, "Last night, l came up with 862 date plans to ensure that Yor has a fun. There's no way could fail."

Yor flushes, mouth in a tight wobbly line. Crackly lines of pain emanate from her butt as she shifts awkwardly and says, "Um... I'm terribly sorry, Loid..." She looks down with dark eyes, sweating, and thinks, "Sitting down would mean that my butt would be in even more pain..." She says aloud, "I would prefer if we walked around on this date."

Loid's internal self looks shocked and horrified. His plans fall off the wall as he thinks "Huh?! She's mad?! She's still mad?! This just killed 794 of those plans" and the counter drops down to say 68. End ID]

[jaffabelle]

Y'know, I usually really hate tsundere tropes but for some reason I am extremely endeared by Damian. Anyone got ideas on why that might be? What does this story do right that others don't?

Spy x Family Rare Pair Week 2024 Prompt Submissions

hello!! in conjunction with a couple mods from @sxf-rarepairweek we on the sxf rarepair server are planning a rarepair week for 2024!

please submit your prompt ideas to the google form here or join the discord server!!

[yumeka-sxf]

Hi! I love your sxf analyses. I was wondering if you had a specific one for Chapter 86? I wanted to read the thoughts of someone who could look at the nuance in the original Japanese text. Many things are missed in the official English translations, not least of which is the 'Yor-san' scene between Twilight and Nightfall. I also wanted to dig deeper on what Twilight says (means to say) to Yor in his monologue when he comes back home. Thank you!

Hi there, thanks for the Ask!

I did write an analysis on this chapter when it released back in 2023. I talk more about the content rather than the "English vs Japanese" aspect, but I did mention the "Yor-san" scene as well. Here's the link.

Not sure if you read the first part of my "Japanese Linguistic Observations in Spy x Family" post series, but I dedicate a few paragraphs to Twilight's dialogue in chapter 86 as well, link here.

I also discuss in part 3 of the series (link here) how both Loid and Yor always refer to each other by name and never use a pronoun like "you," since using a person's name is considered more polite in Japanese. I use the below panel from chapter 86 as a reference.

But something I didn't mention in any of these posts is the でもね that Twilight uses in the below panel. From what I remember when this chapter was released, Japanese fans were saying that this particular wording makes his tone even more soft/casual. This together with him calling her "Yor-san" in the same sentence, even in his thoughts, is just 👌❤️

(Potentially) new information from the Spy x Family exhibit book!

Okay, I’ve done some digging around and not gonna lie, some information in there has me excited. I can’t read Japanese so I took photos and put them through translate, so it’s not the most accurate, and please take this post with a grain of salt. Here we go!

Translations are more than welcome! Feel free to use these photos and feel free to DM me for clearer photos. I would also love to know what this all means haha. Japanese “raw” text is taken from Google translate and may be inaccurate to what is actually shown in the photos.

✩ The SxF world apparently has no Christmas!

I’ve heard claims of it, and here’s a picture I took.

“遠藤達哉先生 コメント

こちらは冬の休載イラスト です。 電飾一個一個を北斗 神拳ばりに連打して描きま した。 クリスマスっぽい雰 囲気を出していますが、 『SPY×FAMILY』の世界に クリスマスはありません。”

Google translate tells me that there’s no Christmas in the SxF world but he tried to create a Christmas-like atmosphere? Not sure but it would align with other people’s claims.

✩ Yuri apparently had a girlfriend in a rough draft!

This is Endo’s handwriting so the machine can’t recognise the words easily, but I think the woman in the bottom of Yuri’s sheet is his “girlfriend”? And Google translate tells me she’s Yuri’s “weakness” and Twilight might use her against Yuri / take advantage of the girlfriend? This is a very interesting idea that didn’t get used in canon (yet?). I think in canon, Yuri is popular but he’s too devoted to his sister. A new significant other of a prominent character would shake things up. Especially when it comes to Yuri, a member of the SSS.

By the way, Yuri’s potential designs are kind of cool. I like the ponytail.

✩ Apparently “Oscar” was one of Twilight’s potential names! + Early Twilight designs

I think we know Yor was originally short for Yorlanda (this is in the upper sheet). There’s a whole list of names beside Twilight and the name Oscar オスカー appeared frequently. There are also more names that I can’t decipher.

✩ Designs of some potential WISE agents! (And early Fiona)

Fiona’s sheet (next to Yuri’s) was titled “WISE spy (female)” and now we have a sheet titled “WISE spy (male)”. Was Fiona a placeholder spy that made it to the main cast? Or will this “male spy” end up having significance too? The two smaller heads at the left are apparently Twilight’s associates. Also, a Melinda sketch. Not gonna lie, the male spy feels kinda cute. Hope he’s not completely scrapped.

✩ Endo’s interview!

I feel like I should put this earlier but I was distracted with the Christmas / Yuri’s potential girlfriend thing. This is at the very end of the book. Apparently Endo was influenced by the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. This interview was apparently taken in March 2023. I think it’s fairly important so I’ll wait for a proper translation before saying anything else.

✩ Comments on Donovan, Melinda, Redacted, and Sylvia!

These two pages are together and I found it significant because Endo discusses the SxF themes. (My notes are not direct translations.) Apparently:

Sylvia’s scene in Mission 20 is Endo’s favourite scene, and he was looking at materials related to war for a long time and wondered if he could make use of it. [JP below]

とてもお気に入りのシーンです。 「SPY×FAMILY」の連載とは関係無し 昔から戦争に関する資料は色々見て いたので、多少はこの作品にも活かせ ているのかなーと。

Donovan’s statement of “in the end, people will never understand each other” (rough paraphrase) is the theme of the work. And Endo wanted to create a feeling of Donovan being the final boss. He didn’t plan on arranging it from the beginning, but he thinks the Desmonds are a good contrast to the Forgers. (Does this mean the Forgers think people will understand each other?) [JP below]

作品のテーマでもあるセリフ ですね。 少しでもドノバンの ラスボス感を醸し出せればい いなーと思いながら描きまし た。最初から意図して配置し たわけではないですが、デス モンド家はフォージャーと 良い対比になっているのかな と思います

The chapters on Twilight’s past coincided with the anime so Endo thought it was a good idea to explore Twilight’s past. [JP below]

アニメが始まるタイミングな のもあって、黄昏〉という人 物を掘り下げる良い機会かな と思い過去編を入れました。 あまり重たくなりすぎないよ うに、でも伝えたいことは最低限伝えられるように、自分 なりにバランスを取って描い たつもりです。

Melinda is described as “friendly” (?) even though she is dignified. A positive description of Melinda… interesting. What’s also interesting is that after she learns that Yor is the mother of the child who got into a fight with Damian, she “shows interest”. Melinda, what do you want with Anya? [JP below]

ダミアンの母で、東国元首相夫人。気品に溢れつ つも、気さくな性格。 ヨルが息子と喧嘩したアー ニャの母親と知り、興味を示している。

I personally think these two pages contain hints about the mystery of the featured characters and would love to know what it means :D

✩ Early Yor and Bond!

There’s a lot more Yor but again the image limit is constricting me. I really like the Bond designs, they’re funny and he’s just a chonky little boi :)

✩ Comments on the panel of Twilight’s head in Yor’s lap!

“珍しいイチャイチャシーンです。 ヨルさん は一年中酔っ払ってればいいのに”

Which apparently means: “a rare flirting (?) scene, I wish Yor was drunk all year long”

?!??! Twiyor?!! Hello!! I cannot resist mentioning this one, this is one of my favourite Twiyor / SxF scenes. Are we gonna get more drunk Yor? More Twiyor? More flirting? I’m excited now.

I’ve reached the image limit, so here’s all for this post for now! Translations are totally welcome and again I would love to know what this all means. I’m sorry if I accidentally said misleading information, so please tell me so I can correct it. Once again, don’t take my words as complete fact. The Yuri girlfriend thing is really surprising to me haha.

[greetings-inferiors]

Holy crap Damian’s mum is totally suspicious. Why should she want him to get closer to Anya? What if she’s a spy with a similar goal to Loid? But how would she know Loid is important. GOD THIS SERIES IS SO GOOD
