Quiet Protagonists

I'm not sure if others have come to this same conclusion, but another reason I love Spy x Family is for how quiet the leads are.

Sure they can be loud and exuberant, but that is only during times when they are trying to make a spectacle of themselves (or Yor is drunk).

A lot of the absurdity or volume you usually get from shows (especially comedy) only happens in their heads. Even then, these drawn out sequences for us the viewer is less than a second for the characters.

Loid comes off as the cool, collected, and calculating spy or the happy, family man, father; while on the inside he is always one step away from a panic attack.

Yor is the warm, overly polite, and naive clerk or an unbeatable assassin; but in her own head she is constantly worried about managing her strength or killing everyone around her to get out of small talk.

Then there is Anya. Anya is four and has daydreams and imaginings to match this. As a telepath, she is naturally in her own head quite a bit and isn't the chattiest amongst her friends. Meanwhile, Anya's mind is where we the audience experience the majority of the chaos found in every other characters minds.

It's doneee~🙌🏻I saw someone draw her in this same dress and I liked it so much I almost gave up on finishing my version. "My eyes have been blessed~ Why bother trying, no way I can do better than that!" I thought. Good on me for resisting that Perfectionistic Demon. Not today Satan! 😀

10 and 15 for the writer ask game 😊

10. what is the longest amount of time you’ve let a draft rest before you finished it?

Oof good question, probably Interpose. That whole chapter took me about six months to write, mostly because I was researching about WWI and graduating from college at the same time. It's kinda funny that that fic in particular has the lowest amounts of kudos out of all my works, but I stand by my statement that it's some of the best writing I've ever published, and I'm proud of it.

15. favorite weather for writing

I adore it when it rains. Early weekend morning with a candle, a cup of steaming tea, and the rain pattering against my window? Absolute perfection.

hello!! 2, 4, and 16 for the fic writer ask please ☺️💕

I'd love to!

2. a character whose POV you’re currently exploring

I've really taken a deep dive into Loid Forger with Song of the Raven. He's such an interesting character to me, with major flaws but also some complex intentions, and yet he has a really tender heart at his center. I love how he is a shadow of James Bond and yet he defies all of his stereotypes at the same time. As with my own headcanon of him being demisexual, it's been interesting to dive deep into what that really means for a spy who's been on dozens of honeypot missions only for him to fall in love with one woman in particular, and the battle inside of him between his duty to fight for world peace and the family who so desperately loves and needs him.

4. a story idea you haven’t written yet

Ahh I have so many AU ideas for twiyor it's ridiculous. I have a single-dad actor/kindergarten teacher au I want to explore, as well as quite a few smutty one-shot pieces just swirling around in my head (there's one where Yor makes him find where she sheathes her stilettos after three weeks of not seeing her that's so vivid in my mind haha).

But I think the one I want to write next is a ballerina AU in the 19th century. During that time in the Paris Opera House, young ballerinas were treated so poorly and were very vulnerable to social and sexual exploitation from so-called patrons. I have this idea that Yor is assigned to seduce a foreign agent under the codename "Twilight" in order to get close to him and kill him to get her and Yuri out of poverty, but she ends up falling in love with him instead. I adore historical fiction, and I think it would be a fun piece to write as I branch off into more original works.

16. favorite place to write

I have a couple! I love my desk, as it's right next to my window along with a stack of books and some tea. I'm currently reading Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross and The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros if I ever get stuck while writing. There's also a cute little cafe up the street that I like to write at if I have a little more time over the weekends.

ok, but imagine during the Titans finale after Kory supernovas and comes back down, she collapses and Dick catches her, and then that’s when he says “I thought I lost you” and kisses her.😭🫠😩😵‍💫
