I can’t stop thinking about how Yor mentions that her generation suffered in the war the way only children can. How she and her brother are co dependent because she had to sacrifice her childhood to raise him. How he still ended up sacrificing his trying to speedrun it so he could pay her back. How she has to raise a child again without the knowledge from example that usually gets passed down in families. How not being on the front lines didn’t save them
That chapter also fucked me up a lot.
Holy shit I still think about it as well.

I've sent this ask before, but I'm afraid it's burried under the ask attack 🤭
Anyway, Endo has made an omake regarding Anya and Becky's adventure at the zoo (while Twilight battling with Yuri and the SSS at the sewer)
And there's also extra scene for chapter where Yor doing her charity work at disabled veteran day
Both extras are omakes for their respective volume, and translated by @yumeka-sxf

Oh so that's the chapters people were talking about, I see...
Well, I certainly can't liveblog those, because they aren't out there and I won't just repost another blog's work, but I'll certainly read them when I have the time

One of my favorite bits of subtle storytelling to come out of recent chapters is how Demetrius interacts in person with Damian. The way he speaks is as cold and distant as it was over the phone but when Damian starts talking to him, Demetrius doesn't brush him off and walk away; he stops, listens, and responds. When Damian struggles to find words, Demetrius brings up Damien's Stella, common ground of sorts, on his own initiative. Only when Damien brings up Donovan does Demetrius disengage.
Seems somewhat similar to their mother. Demetrius wanted to connect to Damian, but the moment Donovan was mentioned was the moment he went "fuck no bye"

I've been taking notes on the spypocalypse so I can keep my thoughts in order and actually I ended up noticing something:
First, a lot of other slice of life sitcoms don't have character development because they need to keep the characters the same for the format. But as a result the characters can end up feeling stale because they don't develop and thus the creators fall back constantly on the same jokes. But what I like about spy x family is that the characters are slowly growing, even if that means sacrificing the jokes. Like, Endo is letting Anya slowly get better at studying and Yor slowly get better at cooking, so even though we still have jokes about how Anya is not the best at school or that Loid is a better cook than Yor, we also get to move past it so the jokes don't become old.
Second, in other manga that have serious and funny moments, I find that there isn't often a lot of crossover, character-development wise. Like, in SxF, Fiona running off to the mountains to train in tennis is a gag... And then it saves her life during the mole arc. Likewise, there's gags about Yuri being indestructible because of Yor, and then during the Yuri v. Twilight showdown he is actually really able to keep getting up.
So that probably means that the next time Twilight and Yuri go up against each other, we'll see a return of Yor-fu.
And last thing: even though there haven't been a lot of chapters that let us see it, I think Yor is definitely getting a lot more feelings for Loid. When she first moved in, Yor didn't even know if she and Loid would be sleeping in the same room. She was a bit bashful around him, but it was really only when she was super drunk that she went tomato-face mode (when Yuri told her to kiss Loid, when Loid tried to honey trap her, and then later the welcome home kiss). However, when they went to the murder ski lodge, even though she was completely sober and Anya and Bond were *right there*, she went super blushing flustered mode at the idea of sleeping in the same room as Loid. Ah, yeah, it's all coming together.
Ok for real last thing: also I think the reason why Sigmund's tutoring worked better than Yuri or Loid's is because those two focus on one thing and get through it. They're both determinators who have no problem with snapping into focus on one thing at a time. Meanwhile Anya's mind has a tendency to wander. However, look at how Sigmund deals with it: when Anya turns Yuri's "whole enchilada" into the "swole Chihuahua", Yuri tells her to forget it and go back to focusing on the grammar. But when Anya takes Sigmund's "eureka" and turns it into "eucalyptus", Sigmund encourages her ("oh, you know so much about koalas! You'll ace your biology test!" And she may not have gotten a Stella star for it, but given that her only bolt was from math, she at least passed her bio quiz). Sigmund works with her wandering train of thought while gently pushing her back to the task at hand. Anya is a force of nature who conquers all in her way; Twilight and Yuri don't stand a chance trying to fight against her head on, but Grandpa Siggy knows how to work with the Lord of Storms.
Grandpa's are great, I'm gonna be so sad when it turns out Sigmund is a founding member of the Apple Project.
Oh, I like that slow development. It's so subtle and gradual you don't really notice it until something major happens and it all clicks together.
Yor is definitely getting more feelings. Yeah, she was not as embarrassed at first because she didn't really liked Twilight the way she does now. He was a handsome man and she was bashful, but now that she does like him like that, now that she's getting aware of her own feelings, oh now the fun begins...
And Sigmund there was definitely the right choice to teach Anya, and he does manage to get in her head because he has a lot of experience on the subject, he was a teacher for years, he understands the human brain because of his work as a researcher. Also because he knows how to handle test subjects from project apple after all.

Denji has been bitchless for so long he ascended beyond the limitations of humanity, and thus realized that the concept of "being somewhere" is merely subjective and nothing more than something that can be bended to his will
Specially when someone is offering him a chance to get laid

this hurts a little Endo, not gonna lie.

Glad to see that Bond and Aaron put their differences aside and finally joined forces. It's good to see those titanic beasts finally fighting for the same cause.

Endo I'm convinced you made this chapter exclusively to hurt me.

Definitely not what you expected, right Twilight? Tell me, is the kiss still off the table or seeing that smile made you want to give up the mission and marry for real?
Tumblr media
OH MY GOD HE FELL DOWN AFTER SEEING THAT
AND I GET IT. THIS IS THE SAME REASON WHY HE MANAGED TO SLEEP AROUND ANYA BACK AT THE FIRST CHAPTER, OR WHEN HE FELL DOWN AFTER ANYA PASSED THE ENTRANCE EXAM
HE FEELS COMFORTABLE ENOUGH AROUND HER THAT HE ALLOWED HIMSELF TO SHOW WEAKNESS
OH MY GOD MY MAN IS SO IN LOVE AND HE DOESN'T EVEN REALIZE IT
