About Yor: she isn’t dense, but most likely indoctrinated by Garden
So I wanted to address this for a long while now, because I’ve seen one too many posts talking about Yor like she’s just an aloof assassin who doesn’t care about things outside her direct environment, which is why sometimes she says dense things. 
I’m well aware that she’s a fan favorite so people don’t 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. 
In other words, since Yor was trained but also half raised by Garden’s leader, the Shopkeeper, it’s likely that, considering how they operate and what they’re 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. 
Want a striking example? Her encounter with Melinda Desmond. 
Tumblr media
Not only did she not know who Melinda was (but I mean, that at least could be understandable)...
Tumblr media
...but she also didn’t know what a First Lady is. 
Sure, it’s 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, “let’s prohibit people having free thinking, so that they can remain good little pawns” as we “fight for peace in our country”.
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. 
Tumblr media
To be honest, that’s a scary ass thought process to envision, when Yor’s an independent working lady well into her 20s, but this shows how deep Garden’s indoctrination runs in Yor, since they got hold of her as a child/young teen. 
Another striking example is the way she always describes her job, in an almost childish way. Her nickname “thorn princess” aside, I always found it interesting that Yor’s aware she’s an assassin but she isn’t morally anguished at all about killing people and never mentions or distinguishes any grey area in her missions. In fact...
Tumblr media
... it’s 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 isn’t always the case and begs the rhetorical question “why does Garden get to decide who’s evil?”), therefore “she’s not doing anything wrong”, which also pretty much betrays how she was pushed into it. 
Long ago, Garden probably baited Yor with Yuri’s protection and told her that, since they’re “about peace”, Yor’s work would just help them to “fight against evil”. As a child, she wasn’t 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 assassin’s job. 
Finally, please take notice of the Shopkeeper’s reaction the first time she tries to argue about her work, in the ship arc: 
Tumblr media
Enough said, Garden’s awful. I’m sure there are more examples throughout the story, but I now want to talk about future character development. 
After all, since the story obviously calls for Yor to ditch Garden, to protect what’s 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 she’s 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 she’s still far away from noticing that Garden mentally drove her into a corner, she now openly voices her concerns that “she’s not normal” but that she wants to understand why in order to learn how to change. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To be fair, fighting against indoctrination is tough and takes time so I’m very proud of her for slowly realizing that she ought to decide for herself from now on. :D 
TL;DR Yor is not dense. She was indoctrinated as a child by Garden and can only (for now) see the world through the filters they taught her. 
Ironically enough, the only character who knows about her real job and could, thus, notice that Yor isn’t being critical about Garden...... actually can’t because she’s a four year old who is too young to understand that Mama’s job is wrong. Well done, Endo-sensei!

Broke: "Twilight's father's eyes were hidden because he doesn't remember his face/doesn't want to."
Woke: "His father's eyes weren't shown because he's actually the Shopkeeper."
Tumblr media
Call it a crack theory (someone else actually explained it quite well on this post) but I believe it enough to spend 5 hours on that drawing. Man just tanned a lot from all the gardening.

Westalis × Ostania
Greetings to you and before anything else, Happy 5th Year anniversary to Spy × Family!
Just came to notice that today actually marks the 5th year of the release of Spy × Family. Coincidentally, I finished this work today and I suppose I shall make good use of this coincidence and thus, take it as an anniversary gift for the manga itself.
This work pictures the message "Westalis × Ostania" which is fully inspired by the special illustration released previously.
Thanks for dropping by 🎉
The original artwork belongs to Tatsuya Endo.

I kinda understand why Yor has to asked permission from the shopkeeper to befriend Melinda, after all he's her boss, mentor and the person who raised her, but oversharing is not good....
Tumblr media
Now he's definitely suspicious of Loid
Tumblr media
I remember that Yor also asked permission to marry Loid or be on a fake marriage with Loid and the shopkeeper allowed it, probably because he thinks that Loid was just a normal civilian, so there's no harm being in a fake marriage with him.
Garden is for peace, their main mission is to maintain peace by eliminating the traitors of the country, so there's a chance that they might be against the Unity Party who're pro-war, but then again Loid, Twilight is still an agent from WISE, working for Westalis and from Westalis, I'm afraid what will happen if the shopkeeper finds out Loid's real identity.

Well since Endo is on break I’ll start off with what I’m hoping for when the manga returns.
SoL chapters:
-Plan C showing some Yorlinda more interaction because her work friends suck and I want to see more Melinda
-The B Plan where Anya somehow gets Damian at the Forger’s house. And now that we saw some more development with Twiyor I’m calling it that Damian will comment on them. But i just want some more wholesome chapters after this arc.
Serious chapters:
-Shopkeeper acting on his suspicions on Loid.
-A new assignment for Yor to take on. Maybe we can see a flashback to how she joined Garden.
Again this is really like a wishlist, but whatever Endo gives us I’ll be there ready to read!
