Omg I cant believe I never noticed that theres a war going on outside the window on the second season opening!

And when Twilight notices, he closes the curtain:


And Yor is seeing him do it, while Anya (who has never seen war) is just happily looking foward.
I am so deeply unwell right now likeđđđ
Hi đ, My name is Mohammad, and Iâm reaching out in a moment of desperate need. Iâm a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. đ
Iâve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. đïžđ”đž
Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my familyâs safety and well-being. đ«¶
If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. đ
Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. â€

My maybe unpopular opinion is that Damian and Anyas dynamic shouldn't change in significant ways until Anya actually views Damian as a genuine friend and not a shiny prize. Because at this point her motivation isn't exactly better than all the other girls' and Damian can probably sense that, it's just that he can't figure out her why.
This post is based on a pretty interesting discussion in a DA server I'm in where some fellow fans have criticized Endo's writing, mainly because there wasn't as much impact after the bus arc as people expected (which is ofc valid crit). I just want to share what I wrote:
Late to the whole convo, but I lightly disagree that the da dynamic didn't change *at all*, however it does seem as though there wasn't as much impact from the bus arc as hoped. However, we did get some subtle shifts that should be noteworthy, namely Damian actually getting jealous and shivering at the mere *thought* of Anya getting "stolen" from him. This has never happened prior to the bus arc and is now a recurring development. That and Becky now teasing Damian in addition to cheering on Anya, especially when comparing her very open hostility towards him earlier in the story. Not only is she friendly to him now, it seems like she has seen through his crush too. I don't think that Endo will change the dynamics too much anytime soon, especially because of how little time has passed in the sxf universe. Keep in mind that damian doesn't really have a proper role model who actively helps him unlearn the toxic mindset he quite literally grew up with; the closest he'd get is his mother wishing for him to be friends with Anya too, but that is only something he heard from Jeeves and not Melinda herself. But he definitely was reflecting on that in the cake chapter. I also think that Damian is in his "I'm too grown-up for this kiddie shit" phase, he probably thinks he's better than *everyone else*, not just Anya (like him scoffing at Bill). He really doesn't want to dance with anyone and is just annoyed with all this attention imo. But he's also jealous and doesn't want Anya to dance with anyone else, but ofc won't actually admit that because he's a brat. He's just a kid with many Big Feelingsâą going on that he doesn't understand and doesn't even get the privacy to unpack, so ofc he's lashing out and acting even worse than usual. I wouldn't be surprised if he just runs away in the next chapter because he's just so fed up with everything and everyone. I feel like us fans keep forgetting that Damians boundaries are straight up being pushed if not disrespected, he's been saying multiple times that he doesn't want to dance and literally everyone is ignoring him as a person with feelings (except his friends who probs set the competition up in order to reject everyone on his behalf) Nobody but his two best friends actually care about his feelings on this whole matter, he's just a shiny prize to everyone else *including* Anya.
Anyway I think Endo is saving the big dynamic change for something far more significant such as the telepathy reveal đ
Cartoons messed people up on what rabies looks like. Ppl think of a rabid animal and assume it's always snarling and frothing at the mouth and ready to attack. Rabid animals can appear really friendly because they lose human fear and they might approach you supposedly looking for food. It might look like a deer stumbling in circles and limping and falling over as if it's injured and disoriented. Might looks like a fox repeatedly trying and failing to stumble to its feet and unable to pick its head up. Their brains are melting. They might seem angry but they might also seem confused or injured or in need. But if you try to help that injured crying fox you could end up getting bit by an animal that's basically already dead and then your brain will melt too
I can only hope the new Paris special won't force Marinette/ Toxinelle into the role of the "chaotic baddest bitch" for superficial praise and keeping Adrien/ Griffe Noire as nothing but her unconditional support again and the "good" one. Because literally from the way the powers of Ladybug and Chat Noir work that's bullshit and the MUCH weaker story premise character wise.
Toxinelle has no offensive powers. She can be as smart as she wants in this scenario her powers are needed for AFTER the Butterfly akumatized someone to save the city, so she can prevent said saving from happening.
Griffe Noire would be required to first nuke the city so the butterfly can react to something and that means alternative Adrien/ Griffe Noire would - the longer all that went on - have needed to let go of all morality he once had and agree to become the moster of the two so SHE can remain level headed and get the Butterfly from the hero.
That's still alot of pressure and burden on Toxinelle's shoulders, being the one who has to be the light at the end of the tunnel for both of them to get their happy ending in a better world. But for the love of God, Adrien throwing out his humanity and only holding onto her and his dead mother
If this is to be believed:

Is ALOT worse and fitting as the conflict's heart piece.
I can only hope the special will be reasonable enough that Toxinelle will be the lesser evil of ShadyClaw and not waste so much story potential for another round of "Chloé the awful bitch". There is so much more interesting stuff you can do with Marinette than that, especially in the Toxinelle field.
Already as Ladybug Marinette showcases extremely dangerous anti-hero tendencies where she becomes so strategic that everyone involved stops being human beings or mattering in the moment because she needs to get something important done.
Most crucial examples are how Emilie Agreste's dead body was used as a mere inhuman tool by her in "Recreation" to defeat her insane husband, by cataclysming the lift and letting it crash down on Emilie to force Gabriel to stand still. Only though that Marinette then barely gave Gabriel enough time to throw the lift sideways and he only managed to save himself and Emilie from being crushed in the nick of time.
Or you know, all of Marinette's horrifying plan in "Destruction" that put several life in danger by sending Monarque to helpless civilians (even to ANNOY HIM) and Chat Noir was literally turned into a non-human object served on a silver plate to Monarque. He couldn't move an inch like a human is to be expected or even BREATH while Monarque went to grab for his throat while Marinette herself stood save and sound in the back because all she actually thought about in that plan were the Kwamis and herself (not even bringing up how fucked up it was to not even let Chat Noir know that her plan involves him having to possibly live with having cataclysmed a person.)
Everyone else MONARQUE had to keep save in her plan by not being the awful and sadistic monster they thought him to be. Tolerating all kinds of disrespectful bullshit and not using any Second chance or other miraculous powers besides voyage, or for the lols quartering Chat Noir's statue for example in a second's notice.
Marinette's plan in "Destruction" was horrifying and impossibly irresponsible in how she instinctively dehumanized everyone but herself and the Kwamis in it without noticing it and 100% relied on MONARQUE to be a decent and reasonable enough person underneath so she could get away with the insane endangerment and dehumanization of everyone but herself (especially Chat Noir).
Her final battle with Monarque had Marinette come back to this questionable morality when she pulled a low-blow anti hero move by dragging the dead spouse of the villain further into the fight, and risking to take any human dignity away from Emilie's remainings - who never wanted any of this being done in her name - by making it GABRIEL'S job to save and preserve her from Bug Noire.
Marinette 100% has some serious anti-hero tendencies in how she dehumanizes people sometimes as side-effect of her strategic mind and when she's either to caught up in her head or she thinks her goal justifies the means.
Jfc, quit the bullshit and let Toxinelle be the escalation of that side of Marinette because she and Adrien know their identities this time around - truly THEM against the world - and she's stuck in a position where Adrien was forced to let go of his humanity and other emotional attachments for their cause, is way too far gone by now and she has to make sure they actually win so all of this wasn't for nothing.
Give me a Marinette/ Toxinelle who made it out of her having been bullied alot worse and that's how she got into this, but by now she deep down fully regrets ever having started this and wished with every inch of her heart she could stop
but she knows she herself already hardly could live with herself after all this so she would never ask Adrien/ Griffe Noire to let go of the only hope he has at this point and live with the fact that he became an actual monster to preserve HER humanity, so she can save them both with the wish.
A Toxinelle who believes they already went too far to possibly go back and because of that she detaches herself from morality in the way it happened in "Recreation" with Emilie because in her (and Adrien's) mind they only have to win and everything will be okay again.
Adrien won't be a monster anymore and will return all together to the boy she once loved - and only still behaves like around Marinette or while thinking of his mother - and Paris, it's citizens, the entire world and THEMSELVES wont remember anymore what happened or that Toxinelle and Griffe Noire ever did any of this to them.
Give me TAHT Marinette/ Toxinelle please. For the love of GOD.

My experience being a fan of stuff
Just like that camping chapter where I came like Damian ewen and Emile a whole lot more as individual characters and showcasing their friendship. There has not been a âfillerâ chapter where none of the content in it amounts to nothing, itâs always showing something that is better to be shown to not just build a better understanding of world but for the characters the relationships and how it ties back into the main message of the series and that is what I like about these chapters.
The new Spy x Family volume 11 cover makes me want to see more Ewen and Emile content or, in general, Eden kids shenanigans without it focusing on Damian or Anya this time. Just some SoL stuff with the Eden kids being kids without the whole moment revolving around Damian's crush on Anya or DamiAnya bantering. The other kid side characters are all so adorable in their own way. Give them some time to shine.
Unpopular opinion (?): I love it whenever Yuri is included with the Forger family in fanarts. Heâs family too (no matter how much he denies it). He didnât have anyone but Yor growing up so having an extended family will be good for him.
Itâll be a long journey and he might not ever come to like Loid but when he realizes that Yor genuinely loves Loid and Anya, heâll be happy for her. Itâs what Yor deserves and more. Heâll also have more family to rely on and protect.
*MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD*
The Eden kids are super cute and oblivious, but thereâs also something off about how when Anya got her first Stella saving a random stranger, kids at school did not see her as a hero. Itâs only when Anya saved them, and they see her âworthâ to those with privilege that sheâs considered super cool and acceptedâŠ

âŠexcept even then, sheâs not. She will always be seen by her Eden classmates as someone from a lower economic strata as themselves. Moreover, the Eden kids attribute Anyaâs bravery as a trait inherent to being middle class instead of, you know, Anya herself being brave. Because peasants are peasants and theyâre all the same to these privileged kids.

But also, Anyaâs classmates believing being a âpeasantâ - and once again, the Forgers are pretending to be solidly upper middle class climbing up the social ladder, which adds to the humour - has supper powers or something is very, very funny.
It's kinda interesting how Damian, Yuri and Nightfall are all presented by the narrative. Like, if you're willing to look for them, they're given redeeming qualities, but the story isn't willing to sacrifice the main characters' standing just for the resolution of the former.
We see Damian bullying Anya, but then you see his issues with his family and how he craves attention from them. You're like damn I hope things get better for him but not at the expense of Anya's feelings.
We see Yuri, his obsession with his sister and how he's a threat to Twilight's mission, but you can kinda understand how a young person like him was brainwashed by nationalistic propaganda. You're like damn I hope things get better for him but not at the expense of Twilight's mission (which includes the Forgers slowly becoming a real family).
We see Nightfall and her blind obsession with Twilight, but then you see how she's been hiding her feelings because she knows she can't really have a happy life with him unless the cold war ends; she just has very poor control over those feelings. You're like damn I hope things get better for her but not at the expense of Yor's feelings and her place within the Forger family.

About Yor: she isnât dense, but most likely indoctrinated by Garden
So I wanted to address this for a long while now, because Iâve seen one too many posts talking about Yor like sheâs just an aloof assassin who doesnât care about things outside her direct environment, which is why sometimes she says dense things.Â
Iâm well aware that sheâs a fan favorite so people donât mean her harm, yet I think the whole story actually hints at way more than her being dense, especially considering her background and who she still works for.Â
In other words, since Yor was trained but also half raised by Gardenâs leader, the Shopkeeper, itâs likely that, considering how they operate and what theyâre about, they instilled in her a conditioned dependency since childhood or teenage years that would make her unable to learn things on her own without asking for their opinion, making it very hard for her to turn against them ever.Â
Want a striking example? Her encounter with Melinda Desmond.Â

Not only did she not know who Melinda was (but I mean, that at least could be understandable)âŠ

âŠbut she also didnât know what a First Lady is.Â
Sure, itâs funny on first glance, but after thinking about it, what does it betray? That Garden probably made sure over years Yor would never get the slightest basic info and understanding on what politics of this country are all about. Because if their strong soldiers start to get opinions of their own, then they could start disagreeing with Garden and turning on them. So, âletâs prohibit people having free thinking, so that they can remain good little pawnsâ as we âfight for peace in our countryâ.
In fact, for Yor, until a short time ago (when she met Loid and Anya), all she did was thought and decided for her by Garden and, to this day, she still voluntarily asks them for their agreement when she opens up her close circle little by little: she asked them if it was okay to marry Loid and then she asked them if it was okay to befriend Melinda.Â

To be honest, thatâs a scary ass thought process to envision, when Yorâs an independent working lady well into her 20s, but this shows how deep Gardenâs indoctrination runs in Yor, since they got hold of her as a child/young teen.Â
Another striking example is the way she always describes her job, in an almost childish way. Her nickname âthorn princessâ aside, I always found it interesting that Yorâs aware sheâs an assassin but she isnât morally anguished at all about killing people and never mentions or distinguishes any grey area in her missions. In factâŠ

⊠itâs all in black and white and she clearly thinks that the people she kills are all evildoers (which as we saw in the recent arc with the Red Circus isnât always the case and begs the rhetorical question âwhy does Garden get to decide whoâs evil?â), therefore âsheâs not doing anything wrongâ, which also pretty much betrays how she was pushed into it.Â
Long ago, Garden probably baited Yor with Yuriâs protection and told her that, since theyâre âabout peaceâ, Yorâs work would just help them to âfight against evilâ. As a child, she wasnât mentally fit to understand the deeper implications and then she was mentally conditioned to always do and think like Garden tells her to, which promotes this systematic childish description of her assassinâs job.Â
Finally, please take notice of the Shopkeeperâs reaction the first time she tries to argue about her work, in the ship arc:Â

Enough said, Gardenâs awful. Iâm sure there are more examples throughout the story, but I now want to talk about future character development.Â
After all, since the story obviously calls for Yor to ditch Garden, to protect whatâs actually important to her (Yuri, Loid and Anya), we actually do see her changing little by little so far, thanks to her living with Loid and Anya. Her coworkers quickly mentioned that sheâs more lively ever since she got married and the ship arc overall emphasizes that her family is starting to become more important to her than her job, so there is high hope for Yor. :D
Additionally, while sheâs still far away from noticing that Garden mentally drove her into a corner, she now openly voices her concerns that âsheâs not normalâ but that she wants to understand why in order to learn how to change.Â


To be fair, fighting against indoctrination is tough and takes time so Iâm very proud of her for slowly realizing that she ought to decide for herself from now on. :DÂ
TL;DR Yor is not dense. She was indoctrinated as a child by Garden and can only (for now)Â see the world through the filters they taught her.Â
Ironically enough, the only character who knows about her real job and could, thus, notice that Yor isnât being critical about GardenâŠâŠ actually canât because sheâs a four year old who is too young to understand that Mamaâs job is wrong. Well done, Endo-sensei!
HE CALLED THEM FRIENDS. ANYA STAYS WINNING.
I do this and say variations of this, and I usually say âyou know?â
adding âif that makes senseâ to the end of the most batshit crazy sentence ever formed
Completely agree, Endo even stated why twilight couldnât do the teary reunion with his daughter right then and there.
iâm shocked to see the disappointment surrounding twilightâs decision to stay in disguise rather than run to anya. like how are you not floored by how far he has come as not only a character but a father?
twilight abandoned his mission the second that he heard anya was in trouble. we know this because sylvia said in the beginning that he wouldnât make it in time to help, so there was no point in sending him back (and, just to clarify, she was right!) but instead of agreeing with her call and carrying out the remainder of his task he ran to help his daughter AND brought backup. not because he wanted to save a group of kids, but because he wanted to save ANYA.
twilight rushed home only to find out he wasnât needed. TWILIGHT, the top spy in WISE, was not integral to saving the day. can you imagine what that feels like for him? donât you think he recognizes how that might make him look to wise? and then to see anya immediately jump into yorâs arms⊠well, he likely assumed he wasnât needed there either. so he decided to make her favorite meal for dinner, because he grew up with no promise of food or shelter to make his emotional trauma a little easier. and, for the record, when anya heard his plan she immediately lit up! she wasnât expecting a grand show of physical affection, she understood how much it meant for twilight to be there to look out for her in the first place!
a spy should never get attached, and here he is. caring so openly for his daughter that he did something he NEVER would have done prior to meeting anya. and btw, we didnât get any insight into twilightâs emotions surrounding anyaâs kidnapping. thereâs no reason to believe that he wasnt as emotionally affected as yor just because he didnât hug her the same way. yeah, i get that it might be a little disappointing to be 75 chapters into the manga and not have that one moment where everything clicks into place for him and he finally understands her role in his life. but itâs just not realistic to the progression of his character. twilight is a lonely, emotionally stunted man whose life has centered around violence since his childhood. you canât expect him to outgrow that in the span of like six months with anya and yor.
