#yor supremacy

[justinepush]

don't worry, they approved of Damian. I think.

We all know mama Yor would pummel Sy-on boy if he did anything funny, I mean have you seen chapter 19??

[fanwarrior321]

Que triste es no tener un estilo TT

finally caught up to spy x family! love yor <3

[limitlessdaydreamer]

Spy x family

And this chapter is one more reason why I love Yor so much! She didn't have to go out and beyond to get a Desmond's attention. No meticulously orchestrated plans needed, just her funny, clumsy self and bam! Instantly hanging out with Desmond's circle in a matter of hours. I bet Loid's gonna be so shocked when he finds out she made better progress than him and Anya's combined efforts 🤭

Yor from spy X family fanart

[principledpropo]

Does she… hate her children? Despise having to be involved in any way - does the action of simply discussing Damian piss this woman off?

Because if so, then god damn I love it, because we get to see the truly perfect antithesis to Loid and Yor.

The Forgers aren’t perfect, but the way they involve themselves in Anya’s life is beautiful. It’s warm and loving while teaching her to make and respect boundaries (that’s difficult for a telepath lmao), but their walls almost always come crashing down the second they find themselves alone in each other’s company. Loid may be strict and Yor may be a little too enthusiastic, but every action they take for Anya is for her sake, and every mistake they make is an experience they immediately learn from to better raise Anya.

The Desmonds aren’t physically abusive, nor do they scream nor degrade their kids. Both Desmond scions are clearly well-off, having wealth and service in spades. Everything they could ever want, at the snap of their fingers. Except their parent’s love and attention. Donovan sees his sons as tools to further his name and goals, while Melinda (and this is just conjecture) shows shades of a woman who never wanted children and is searching for ways to live and enjoy her life free of their burden.

(Little tangent, but people, women especially, shouldn’t be saddled with kids if they do not wish to. Their body, their choice, and no one should ever say otherwise. That being said, when the child is born, the parent has a lifelong responsibility to that child, and regret is no longer an option. I see so many parents who practically begged to have kids, but ended up resenting them, and in turn their kids grow and feel the same way to them. You can never let your children feel like they are a mistake. Never.)

To Donovan, his children are materials that can be shaped into weapons for his political gain and clout. To Melinda, (again, just a hunch), they are nuisances she can’t be bothered to deal with.

But Loid and Yor, who don’t share a single drop of blood with Anya? Who created and joined their family for self-protection? They can’t stop themselves - they shower Anya with love. They can’t spoil her with gifts like Becky and Damien get, but they never starve Anya of what matters most: their love, their time, and their energy. Anya is an esper - if she grew up with people like Desmonds, she’d know immediately she was unloved. Hell, she has! Returned to foster homes again and again. So it is beautiful that a girl who can read her parent’s anxieties and fears has never once heard them think she was a mistake (well other than that first episode with Loid lol). They have had every opportunity to grow resentful of Anya, but they never have. They think the world of her. Mr. “It’s for the mission” Twilight bends over backwards on a whim for his daughter. Yor “I won’t let my daughter die in school” Forger would commit war crimes if she even thought her precious child got a boo boo.

The Desmonds, at best, see their children as investments and at worst mistakes. But no matter what Anya does, good or bad, it doesn’t ever change their perspective of her.

She isn’t just a cover child to them. She’s their daughter, and they’d shake heaven and earth for her when the Desmonds can’t even be bothered to attend their son’s orientation day.

[letthebodyfall]

a possible explanation as to why Loid doesn't suspect Yor of anything (even though she's presented superhuman strength and killer moves/has killer instincts) is probably because one of the women he spent the most time with was Sylvia fucking Sherwood

like look at her

L O O K

she's not called the Fullmetal Lady for nothing

loid didn't really have that much of a childhood because of the war so even with Sylvia being a spy, she's probably one of his few role models. he doesn't have a lot of experiences with "normalcy" so he might not have a clear separation of what mundane civilians do on the regular vs what spies do (besides the obvious) even though he's considered the best

so when he saw yor drop kicking a smuggler straight into a wall he was like "yep checks out"

[aramintamour]

brave and adorable bby 😭💞

[such-a-downer]

I'm not sure if they will include Barnaby's remaining line in the next episode. I wish they animated the scene as it was in the manga.

Because BOTH Yor and Barnaby ACKNOWLEDGED each other's strength.

Anime:

Manga:

They left out the part where Barnaby acknowledged Yor's strength. For me, the scene in manga had a great impact because it portrayed Barnaby as a character who knows to acknowledge his enemy's (Yor) strength and not just simply acting haughty like a typical bad guy.

Getting Picked Up From School

Anya: *texting Yor* Mama! Help I’m being kidnapped Yor: Where are you? Anya: I’m with some strange person. In papa's car. Help. Please. Yor: I’ll call Loid. Loid: *answering his phone* Hello Yor: Where’s my baby? She texted me that she is being kidnapped. Loid: Anya? What are you talking about, she is right next to me- Loid: *moment of realization* Loid: I’ll call you back. *hangs up* Loid: MY NEW HAIRCUT ISN’T THAT BAD! Anya: WHO ARE YOU?! MY MOM WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY ALIVE!!!!

SxF 24: Family is a safe space

SpyxFamily is a manga/anime that can be read on different levels. Under the funny, mundane situations shown, we can learn about the war's horror and consequences, the dark side of politics; the gray areas of human nature, and how clumsy we can be when our feelings are involved. Episode 24 excels in building these layers and shows the real meaning behind all these missions and adventures. SpyxFamily is not about romance; action; nor friendship but about the idea that family is, above anything else, a safe space.

Twilight, Yor, and even Anya trying to befriend Desmond share a common goal: to make a the world better place not only for children to grow up in peace; but also for broken adults who need a place to call home; a place where they can be themselves, with their weakness and their imperfections, and their bad habits and good deeds.

Romance is not the main theme of the cute and funny disastrous date, but the fact that Yor finds unbearable just the idea of losing Loid (*coughcough*), but Anya and their home. The fact that she is willing to sacrifice her safety for the sake of Twilight’s happiness, and that what Twlight values of her is not something as the house chores but the safe space that she provides and that validates her as family is WAY more important that the cute and funny romance scene.

This is what family is all about: people who protects, and cares each other. And it is about bonds, not about blood. 

This is also family (and love and unsolved sexual tension. It was a nice touch that they brought this scene back)

But what amazed me about this episode was, well linked the safe space idea was linked to Anya’s and Becky’s shopping spree. Once I read it in the manga, I found this mission a little bit boring but here in the anime just fitted perfectly and I was absolutely charmed by it.

Yes, we got a super cute Anya wearing different outfits, but we have the limits of a literal safe space (Becky rents the whole gallery!) blurred by the safe space that Anya builds. There, Becky can be her better self (bossy yet caring; selfish yet open). 

And that’s what Desmond sees when the two friends walk to school that day. He has a crush on Anya because well, she is damn cute, but also because she can be herself, with her flaws and weirdness, because she is loved and has a safe space (a family) where she can thrive. And that's something he, a 6-year-old, very sadly lacks.

So yes, surprise, surprise:  SpyXFamily is about … family. A safe space for us.

Anime I watched in 2022 Part 2:

11. Rising of the Shield Hero Part 2- 3/5

Where do I begin with this? It started off strong but by the 3rd or 4th episode I started to question if this was the same shield hero that I watched before. Don’t even get me started on how many times I watched Ost die only for her to come back to life. Thank goodness for the banger opening and ending. I briefly read the manga a while back so I knew that content was left out. After this season ended I reread and yup A LOT was left out. Hopefully the next season can redeem this show.

12. Spy x Family 10,000/5

Ahhhhh I was so excited for this one. I read the manga so I knew the plot well and was a wee bit nervous when I saw Cloverworks was one of the studios doing the production (they basically cut 90% of Horimiya content) but much to my surprise they kept all of the original content, plus added some to really flesh out the show and it’s characters. This will be one of those shows that people will be talking about for years to come. The animation, the characters, the opening and ending were all spectacularly done. Anya deserves all the happiness in the world. Loid is the best fake dad and fake husband (all for the mission of course) and Yor is the new waifu, I don’t make the rules. God I really love these characters and seeing them animated so wonderfully brings a smile to my face.

13. Ya Boy Kongming 5/5

This was a underrated gem for this year. I need to thank tik tok for showing me clips for this one otherwise I wouldn’t have know it existed. And that opening: A BANGER!! Seriously, if anyone skips the opening, they need to be arrested immediately! All the characters were so likable and you were cheering on the ‘rivals’. If you’re a fan of music, I highly recommend this anime.

14. The Case Study of Vanitas 5,000/5

Ahhhhhh! Ok ok. I’m calm now. But seriously this anime has turned my brain into goop. I had serious Vanitas brain rot when I finished watching this one. From opening to ending this one hooked me. Alllll the characters were interesting, even the minor ones; you just wanted to know more about every one and everything. And I know, I KNOW Vanitas and Jeanne are endgame but whyyy is the chemistry between Vanitas and Noe sooooo good. Like holy guacamole their chemistry was off the charts (and that first ending didn’t help either) I can’t wait to know more about these characters and see what shenanigans they get up too.

15. Misfit of the Demon King Academy 5/5

There’s just something about overpowered characters that gets me so hyped. Now don’t get me wrong, I like to follow the journey of a character from rock bottom and see them rise to the top. But sometimes you just want to see a Main Character just go nuts from the get go and that’s the main character from this series. “Did you really think killing me would stop me?” will never stop being epic. Like damn! This was such a refreshing anime and the ending I didn’t expect. Really can’t wait to see more of this universe.

16. The Millionaire Detective: Balance Unlimited 4/5

Listen, there was so much hype around this anime that I went into it expecting a lot. Especially the chemistry between the two male leads but alas I was severely disappointed. While the story and other characters were good it just felt like something was missing. And I know everyone loves Kambe but I was more into Haru and I just wanted him to one up Kambe in some way (don’t ask me to go into detail because I can’t even explain it myself). Maybe I need to read the manga to get into this one.

17. Love After World Domination 5/5

This was such a cute, dorky romance. If you were a Power Rangers fan as a kid, I think you’ll appreciate this one. It’s a nice spoof of that universe with the main characters trying to navigate their love life, school, being a hero and being a villain (is she really a villain though). I went into this one with absolutely no expectations but every week I was continuously surprised by this story. Really hope we get a second season to this.

18. Skeleton Knight in Another World 5/5

I know a lot of people kept comparing this one to Overload but can I just say that I enjoyed this one wayyy more than Overload. Arc and Arianne are much more enjoyable characters to me and I just adored their chemistry. And Ponta was just the cutest addition to this series. This anime only has 12 episodes but it was enough to hook me in to that universe. I’m really hoping we get another season.

19. Overlord Season 1 3/5

I really tried to like this one. Honestly I tried my best to like it but I couldn’t get past the first season. The characters felt bland and overdone for me. Maybe it’s because I watched so many isekai anime’s prior that this one didn’t wow me. Maybe if I’m bored I’ll give this another go.

20. Komi Can’t Communicate Part 2 5/5

Ahhh cuteness overload. I really love Komi and seeing her progress slowly but surely is always a wonderful sight to behold. Chadano will forever be best boy. This season had so many laugh out loud and wtf moments that I really hope we get another season.
