Donut: (walks up to Sarge and Grif) Hey, guys. We might have a problem here. Somebody, and I'm not gonna say who, might've thought that one of the cyborg parts we need for Simmons' surgery was a cupholder. And somebody, not naming any names here, might've left it, along with their favorite smooth jazz compilation CD, in the Warthog. I just don't know who would do such a thing.
Grif: Was it you?
Donut: Yeah.. uh, no! (clears throat) I mean, NO. ...Dammit.
Sarge: Grif, you and Easy Listening stroll on down and retrieve that part from the Warthog. Post Haste!
Grif: Sir, do you think it's safe to be outside the base right now? For all we know the Blues could've already fixed their tank. They could be advancing on us as we speak.
Sarge: Ahh, corny dogs! Even with Lopez helping 'em, it'll take them months to get that tank online, much less to get it movin' again.
Donut: I hope you're right, because if I see that tank headed towards me, I'm totally gonna freak out.
Camera zooms across the canyon to Tucker, Sheila, and Lopez.
Tucker: Man, I sure hope they don't totally freak out when they see us coming.
Alright here's the 66th Long Dog I have spotted on the episode called "Barky Boats" on Bluey. If anyone wants to have a look. https://instagram.com/p/CHHgP7wFjfv/
- Taylor having actual emotions and crying and having a moment because his dad literally fucking “died”
- Lincoln Li Wilson hugging scary and being overall the best character ever
- Beth Mays wonderful acting that brought me so close so sobbing in the middle of my classes
- Actual Hermie Content (full name Herman)
- Banger intro
- Scary Allies with the other teens again
- Fucking Willy Stampler. I hate you bitch.
- Scary Character development!! We see that the only reason she’s doing this is because of validation. She wants to feel like enough not only to herself but to Willy, who has inherently become a father figure.
- The Ultimate Scam
- Hermie Hermie Hermie my boy. His scam has double meanings because even though he “betrayed” Normal he also helped them further along the journey by scamming them. He is such a strange and fascinating little guy and I’m praying this isn’t the last time we see him because personally I would be heartbroken
- SCARY SOCCOR
-Group Hug
- Whatever the fuck Taylor is doing
- Normal blames himself and his family for the situation
-Link and Scary Insecure teenager arc
- heartbreak. Like my heart was repeatedly tore out and smashed on the ground before being put together again
Yuo know i didnt understand when people said ghostkicks unhealthy codependent spiral before but. but. OHym gfdo i get it i get it OH MY GOD. (<< guy who just finished s2e31)
GRAHHHH THEY MAKE ME SO UNWELL DURING THIS ARC. just. the epitome of "what would william do?" vs. "what would dakota think about what i'm doing?"
Zooms in on Caboose's visor and flashes to white. Fades in to reveal a large, gray room with walkways and large pylons coming out of the ground. Cut to Church in white armor and Tex in black armor, both are no longer transparent.
Church: Where are we?
Tex: We're inside Caboose's mind. Now we just have to find O'Malley and kill him.
Church: Man, this is kinda weird.
Tex: It's hard to get used to, I know.
Church: No, it's not that. (fades to outside of Caboose's mind) It's just that this place is a whole lot bigger than I thought it was gonna be.
Tucker: (walks up to Caboose) Caboose, are you okay, buddy?
Caboose: (repeating what Church said) This place is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.
Tucker: O-kay. I'm gonna take Sheila and Lopez and figure out some way to get the Reds to shut off their radios.
Caboose: Where should we start, Tex?
Tucker: What?
Fades back to inside Caboose's head.
Church: I said where should we start, Tex?
Tex: Just keep your eyes peeled. (Tucker comes up behind Tex) I guarantee (Church spots Tucker) O'Malley will come looking for us.
Church: Hey, Tucker! Is that you?
Tucker: No. What're you? Stupid? Oh, wait. Yes, I am me. I guess I'm stupid.
Church: What're you doing in here? You're supposed to be out there working on your part of the plan!
Tucker: Do you have any food? I love to eat all the food.
Church: What the hell? What's the matter with you?
Tex: This isn't really Tucker. We're in Caboose's head. This is Caboose's mental image of Tucker.
Tucker: Man, I am so unbelievably stupid!
Church: Well, that's great, everyone we meet in here is bound to be as brain dead as Caboose, then.
Caboose approaches from behind.
Caboose: I would not be so sure about that, Mister Church.
An Anthology of Linguistic + Literary + Research Analyses on Spy x Family by XxScarletxRosexX -- UPDATED 8/19/2024
Of all the peculiar things I could have done with my Master's Degree in Linguistics, I didn't expect that I would be applying everything I learned in Spy x Family. In any case, it's the perfect marriage between my two passions <3
I decided to make a master post of my linguistic analyses because I have a feeling that this will be one hell of a deep dive. It's all thanks to the the Short Mission 11 / Chapter 90.1, which actually made me realize there's so much more to Spy x Family if I revisit the anime AND manga with my linguistic lense.
Below is a list of my published works thus far.
This list will be constantly edited when a new analyses is posted. So, if you wish to have the updated list, be sure to reblog this post (it will be pinned on my page).
EDIT -- 8/19/2024:
I decided that a lot of my analyses will overlap with my literary analyses and some other research so it can't be helped ^^;
I'll be updating my list with previous analyses added!
