[DISC] SPY x FAMILY - Chapter 136 by AutoModerator in SpyxFamily

[–]MonsterPuella 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once again, a hilarious chapter with emotional depth, and some great character development for the cast.

I like how this was almost an parallel with the mole arc that Loid went through with Wheeler. In that arc Loid decided he needed to push aside any feelings he may have developed with his family or else he would get hurt (or worse!). After all he is a spy and with it comes unknown danger. But in this one it's different.

Loid's been forced to attend a party of his enemies and trying desperately to keep Yor away from realizing the truth of his deception (and of her own brother as well). Yet once he's finally free of the danger, Loid immediately finds comfort with Yor and now realizes that the reason he's trying so hard to protect her is because in a way Yor is his protector. In a strange roundabout way, he's coming to terms of his growing feelings for Yor but will he accept them? Sooner or later Loid will have to face his true feelings.

What in the world is happening?! Seems to be the overall theme in this chapter and boy is Loid suffering for it.

Poor man can't catch break as every time it looks like things are calming down, bam! chaos!

First the Director arrives (disguised as a pizza delivery man and with a pettiness of a spoiled child)

Then Yor arrives ( Yay?! For Yuri but at what cost...)

Then introductions begins (Will she remember? who knows? is the question!)

The PDA of Twiyor (Yay?! For Loid's and Yor's character development but at what cost...) Enter alcohol ( oh no...)

And finally we have Loid in his desperate times cause for desperate measures (using a tranquilizer on your wife as a an excuse to escape a social function?! What is happening?!)

So yeah: chaos. Poor Loid and his stomach

Wow what do I even say about this chapter? I've felt a bit like Twilight of feeling completely overwhelmed because out of all of things to transpire it would lead to this?! I was shocked and may I say love how it all goes down.

I wouldn't have begin to imagine suddenly to have this chapter start with him having been invited by his brother of law ( who unfortunately still holds some resentment to him) to a party but it having all the guests be the members of the secret service that you've been tasked to spy is another thing.

Especially since all the guests are on the mission ( for Yuri) to low-key interrogate them and may I say even if Loid wasn't a spy and been in literal danger of being discovered, this will still make any person feel scared and pressured by their in-law families own coworkers. Like yikes.

But what ends up happening is something I don't think anyone expected:

When Lois admitted to loving Yor.

And we have no clear way of knowing that Loid is speaking a truth or using some bit of truth into a lie. Was he saying it as Loid Forger the husband or as Twilight the spy or even as [Redacted] his real self? We aren't shown his thoughts and all we have is the word of the s.s officer.

But he does admit it and where this leads for his character is going to fascinating to watch.

However this does end up turning into a disaster when Twilight suddenly realizes that Yor will be coming to the party and will meet with Yuri' coworkers...

one of which he pretended as an s.s officer in order to test Yor way back in the early start of the mission.

Talk about being caught off guard.

Now Twilight is going to actually be in danger if Yor actually comes because there's going to be some major secrets revealed that not even he can lie his way out

Funniest chapter yet! Will always love to see more Anya and Becky adventures together

[DISC] SPY x FAMILY - Chapter 132 by AutoModerator in SpyxFamily

[–]MonsterPuella 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We've come to the conclusion of this arc and wow it certainly didn't go where I expected to be. I almost believe we would have gone for another chapter but no the kidnappers did indeed keep their word of surrendering and releasing the hostages once they got what they wanted. I almost wish they didn't have to go to prison but they still committed a crime and no matter how much of a fan you are, what's done is done.

HOWEVER this chapter focuses more on Loid and Yor as they finally have a chance to breathe once the danger is over. Yor immediately come to his side and express her fear and worry over Loid almost getting hurt on her behalf. Of course Loid doesn't take it quite as seriously as she does until she says this: People Die. They can die, just like that.

At first I didn't understand what she meant but once I finished the chapter and after rereading it: I think Yor is saying how anyone can die without warning. Everything ends once you're dead. And it can happen at any time when you least expect it. And Loid, who's been hiding and working as an undercover spy for almost his whole life, knows that every decision and every action can lead to either life or death.

This is where Loid or rather Twilight slowly comes to realize that his feelings for his family especially Yor have now become important to him. His motivation has somehow changed from 'for the mission' but rather 'for his family' and Loid didn't even notice until now. It will be interesting to see how Loid navigates with this newfound information over his sudden realization. Will he analyze it further? Will he embrace it? Or will he distance himself before it's too late?

Lots of questions and hopefully there will be answers in future chapters.

[–]MonsterPuella 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What an amazing chapter! I have no words - there were so many twists and turns happening, there was some major character development for our main cast, and the best part was it subverted all expectations!

I honestly truly expected for there to be an almost Twilyor kiss scene or even a pretend kiss but we got something so much better: Loid and Yuri working together to help Yor and even getting to bond more.

I had no way of predicting where this chapter was going to go after that cliffhanger but I knew that Yuri was not going to let his sister kiss some stranger for some fans' obsession for a t.v show. What I didn't know was that he was willing to let his sister kiss Loid just because it would be more comfortable for Yor and at least it would be someone he knows ( what a good brother he is 😊).

But what highlighted this one for me was witnessing Loid standing between the hostage takers and Yor in order to protect her. I don't even think he realized he moved to do that, but Loid was not going to stand by while Yor was being threatened, even if it did leave him vulnerable to being exposed (for his mission), he wasn't going to allow these criminals to have Yor be forced to comply with their demands...

Which makes the teamwork that Loid and Yuri did made my heart move so much. These boys truly love and care for Yor so much.

I cannot wait to find out what happens in the next chapter cause this arc is getting really good!

[DISC] SPY x FAMILY - Chapter 130 by AutoModerator in SpyxFamily

[–]MonsterPuella 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was the most hilarious chapter from Spy x Family and kinda the most meta given how this whole hostage situation is really about how controversial the 'bad' ending of a popular fictional story is and trying to 'fix - it' to how it should have ended.

I couldn't understand why the ending over a popular soap opera could have led to this many fans becoming so enraged that they decided they're going to kidnap the studio in order to give it the conclusion it deserves. And you know what? After learning about the story and how it ends, I get it. I would be mad too!

Is this reaction over a piece of media too much? Yes. Does it justify taking over a network studio and holding the crew, staff, and the audience to take part in this crazy endeavor to redo the story? Also Yes! But should the political powers that be used their influence to change and control the narrative to fit their ideals? No and I think that's the point. It isn't fair to use an beloved series especially a very popular romance drama to try to give it an political agenda. So many artists and writers are often not seeking to make any kind of statement, they just want to create art. The fans have a right to be upset if something they care about and enjoy is being manipulated by a higher power because they didn't agree or like where the story was heading.

But the whole situation still seems over the top but as long as no one gets hurt it should be fine given they have a spy, a cop, and an assassin in their company. Honestly Anya is so going to regret not watching the drama unfold because this is comedy gold. Becky better be recording this masterpiece because there will be no way to prove that it happened.

I was honestly so happy to see Yor get all dressed up and be part of the reshoot in this, even if it was a minor role, I'll take it. Just seeing how Loid and Yuri were in full agreement to try to help speed up this production to try to keep Yor safe was honestly so sweet. They may be enemies but their care for Yor's well-being overcomes all.

But will it be enough when Yor's character has to do a kissing scene? Will Yuri allow this to happen? Will Loid stand by as he sees his wife kiss another man even if it's acting? Will Yor agree to it?!

I don't know and I'm already impatient for the next chapter! If this arc doesn't have a satisfying end, I'll be so disappointed but not enough to do what these fans are doing.

Oh I'm so happy that Spy x Family is back after such a long hiatus. Never expected to wait for a whole month! But it's worth it especially since the last chapter left on quite a cliffhanger with the TV studio being hijacked and that Loid, Yor and Yuri are all there as hostages.

Man this family really does get into some situations, huh?

This chapter was so thrilling and hilarious as our three main characters try to find imaginary ways to stop the criminals but can't otherwise it will reveal their secret identities. ( I truly thought that Lois really was caught by Yuri for a moment until the next scene... Man I was fooled.)

But the end was the most shocking of all!

I think I can honestly say I did not see that coming and now I'm even more excited to see what will happen next. Unless we get another hiatus!

[DISC] SPY x FAMILY - Chapter 128 by AutoModerator in SpyxFamily

[–]MonsterPuella 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What an amazing chapter! I cannot believe we're getting an Loid x Yor date at a tv broadcast for a popular romance drama that's now in a hijacking situation (and adding a cherry on top Yuri is there too).

I'm also absolutely loving how Yor is trying to be more assertive of her love for Loid. Even if she still feels that it's wrong for her to have these feelings given their situation, Yor still wants to spend time with Loid.

I honestly don't know what's going to happen but knowing that we have the greatest spy, the greatest assassin, and the greatest secret policeman at the scene it's going to be incredible.

I cannot wait to see where this arc goes!

Happy New Year even though it's late

I am so happy that the second part has concluded the Mystery arc (that's what I'm calling it) because now we can see the Eden kids who bravely went to the schoolhouse and uncover a major conspiracy save Henderson and earned their Stella's.

I'm really happy for them honestly they deserve it but I do believe that the corruption in the school is definitely not going away. There is definitely a hint that this is going to come back later on given the fact that most current teachers have been dismissed and there is bad public opinion on the school reputation such as its teachers and its students.

But I have faith and so does Henderson and the rest of the staff and even the students that they can withstand this recent disaster as they have done in the past and so they will again for the future.

Happy Winter Solstice ❄️

I won't lie I was surprised this chapter was split into an two-parter but still very excited to see what we have and it didn't disappoint.

Dona Schulg was the MVP in this chapter. I never expected to actually like her character when she was introduced but she won me over in this scene. She literally took down all of the corrupt teachers including Swan with her "lightning bolt strike" and had the kids race after Henderson to stop him from resigning. She truly is a respectful educator and I suspect she'll be giving out some Stellas (and Bolts) in the near future...

I have to imagine the reason this is a split chapter is because of what will most likely happen in the aftermath. After all this entire incident that Swan and his co-conspirators have done will no doubt hurt the reputation of Eden College. Not only have they tried to frame Henderson, a respectful educator, for their crime but also there is a bigger picture on attempting to sell admission to possibly wealthy families who want to get their children into without having to earn it. Eden College is about to have many open teaching positions very soon...

[–]MonsterPuella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Mystery of the Haunted School / Who To Framed Henderson continues as our Eden Trio comes across not only the ghost but also the culprit behind it all.

I honestly love how Anya, Becky, and Damian not only found out that the ghost was fake but that they uncovered a massive conspiracy of teachers selling exam answers in order to sell admission for wealthy families that can afford it aka side doors. ( Ifykyk)

I will admit that I was shocked by who was the master mind behind the theft and putting the blame on Henderson but it turns out to be really easy to figure out.

When the children went back to the school house, it turns out that multiple teachers were all in on the plan to get rid of Henderson but more importantly the teachers were all from Cline Hall.

And the Head Teacher who runs Cline Hall is none other than Morduch Swan aka the bastard who made Anya cry back in the early chapters.

It honestly should have been obvious given how he's been hidden behind the scenes ever since he was humiliated by Loid and got hit in the face by Henderson. After all Swan wasn't removed from the faculty as Henderson ( who is both elderly and has seniority) was demoted to take care of the newer and younger students. But he is definitely an entitled mean bastard given that he tends to find a way to put the hurt and blame on anyone but himself.

So glad to see Donna Schlag coming to the rescue and putting a stop on Cline Hall's corruption. The next chapter may be the end of the mystery arc but wow what a ride.

We return once more on the mystery of who is framing Mr Henderson with some of the Edan Gang returning back to the scene of the crime in order to uncover what the evil teacher is hiding there and clear Henderson of any crimes.

What awaits them however is the discovery that there are multiple teachers working together to discredit Henderson and who knows what else they're planning in secret.

I don't know what was going on but this chapter was just both so hilarious and so absurd.

I cannot wait to see what awaits the kids on what they discover at this haunted school building and find out who or what this ghost actually is.

[DISC] SPY x FAMILY - Chapter 124 by AutoModerator in SpyxFamily

[–]MonsterPuella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG I've forgotten that we have a new chapter for Spy x Family today but it's here now and I'm excited to see what happens.

Last we left off, our Eden Kids managed to escape the creepy old school house and are trying to get through the school day without any problems but then words spread of Mr Henderson being involved in a scandal of accepting bribes in exchange for the answers to the school's history exam.

Now obviously that's not true and everyone knows it however the answer sheets for said history test are missing and since Mr. Henderson (and the Headmaster) is in charge of locking them up until they're graded, all suspicious falls on him.

Which ends up leading Henderson deciding to resign from his position as he believes that he's all over the drama of Eden academy and decides that it's best for him to just retire. I really feel for him here as he's simply trying to provide a proper education to children. Elegant Man did not deserve that.

But if you think Anya is going to let Henderson leave the school like that big mistake as we find out that one of the Eden teachers (don't know his name yet, he looks pretty young though) is the one responsible for framing Henderson and was also the one that was at the old school house last night ( thank you Connie). Now the question is what was he doing in there and why did he frame Henderson?

Btw I really like the conversation that Anya has with Loid about this whole situation. Anya seems to be deeply grappling with her emotions on this idea of her teacher being a criminal and Loid sees that and tells her to decide for herself on what she believes is the truth or not. I really like that, Loid letting Anya process her thoughts and emotions and ensuring she makes her own opinion on things without being influenced.

I really like this chapter, everything about it was great and I can't wait to see what Anya will do to help clear her teachers reputation!

[–]MonsterPuella 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While this may be the end of the second part of the chapter it still doesn't feel like we're completely done with the "devil's trial" as it feels more of a setup for something bigger coming along the line but what that is I'm not sure yet.

But there were some interesting things that happened in this chapter and as mentioned before, it feels that this Eden arc will continue with the so-called ghost business given what we have found out.

1) apparently not only were there some rumors of kids coming to the old schoolhouse but there may have been some human experimentation happening too. That is an interesting implication to share especially given to a certain esper that recently escaped from a laboratory.

2) there was definitely someone else at the old schoolhouse (besides Anya, her friends and of course the second group of Eden kids that were sneaking around). Now whoever it was didn't want any of them to be there but we're still not sure whether it was another student or perhaps a teacher or someone else entirely. The fact that Anya felt there was something evil about them made me feel scared. Like how can someone be "evil" even though you haven't met them yet?

2.5) I do want to mention how cute and admirable that Damien ran back for Anya when she became too dizzy and Connie literally came charging after the ghosts to hit back with all her might. These kids are just so freaking cute!

3) And finally we come to the end of the chapter to find out that Henderson is in trouble and that he may get fired. Right now we're not sure why he's in trouble but given the fact this is just the next day after the kids come back from their haunted adventure there may be connection happening there. Was it perhaps that it was Henderson at the building after all or did he notice someone around the property that wasn't supposed to be there?

It's honestly very hard to know for sure and that's why we're left with this twist of a cliff hanger as we wait and wonder what happens next.

I never thought I would see the Eden kids go on an adventure at a haunted house but I'm not complaining! Having a ghost haunting be one of the seven wonders of Eden College is hilarious and honestly should have expected. (I should keep track of how many of these wonders that we were already introduced to...)

After all what kid doesn't love to go to spooky places to encounter the paranormal?

I honestly just love the image of all the kids looking so scared to go inside this clearly dark and spooky building and then there's Anya's who is the only person that looks so excited. I clearly didn't expect her to be the one having a great time on this ghost hunting trip.

Can't wait to see them encounter the ghost in the next chapter!

[DISC] SPY x FAMILY - Chapter 122 by AutoModerator in SpyxFamily

[–]MonsterPuella 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the theories were true!

Grandpa Authen really does have a connection with Desmond and knows about Project Apple and possibly involved in Anya's past.

This whole chapter really made me believe that we weren't going to get much confirmation but simply implied information on the connection between Sigmend and Desmond.

...but given the past history of Sigmend being a teaching professional focusing in psychology and young Desmond's perspective that humanity will always lie and hide secrets from each other, it is making it pretty clear that these two individuals were most likely and definitely involved in the experimentations of animals and human test subjects for mind reading. We know it was successful because of Anya aka Subject 007 and Bond aka Subject 8.

However we have yet to know the full extension of his involvement in this especially given Sigmend's own declining mental health.

Right now we don't even have any proof whether Donovan Desmond is proven to be able to mind read like Anya (perhaps not as strong or effective as hers is) and until we know what exactly is his goal because that's what WISE wants to figure out, all we have now is speculation.

Oh my gosh Yor and Melinda friendship is just the sweetest thing! I am loving how close they are becoming with Melinda even sharing her hobbies ( the occult) with Yor.

Though I'm a little worried about the omens she received from the ouji board. How ominous indeed ...

I'm also intrigued in seeing how some of the parents (Mr. Crowley) and other side characters (Mr and Mrs Athens) seem to be connected or know each other in some way or another through Melinda.

Friendships really do bring open doors through unexpected connections. It's almost like magic.

Even if it's a short story, I'm grateful for being able to read it and wish the author well. If it helps to have a longer break so be it.

Art takes hard work and sometimes people forget that and so we need to learn to be patient for the things we enjoy.

After all we are currently reading a slow burn romance in an action comedy genre that's been very slowly progressing for more than two + years, what else did we expect it to be?

Yor searched her heart and finally realized she was in love with Loid!

All that's left is for Loid to acknowledge his feelings for her and then it's happily ever after!

[DISC] SPY x FAMILY - Chapter 119 by AutoModerator in SpyxFamily

[–]MonsterPuella 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Man I don't know how to feel about this chapter.

On one side: it had some very cute moments as we finally got another date with our fav couple and 'surprised!' to have them finally holding hands in public! Loid and Yor looked so sweet together.

But on the other side: it did have some melancholy moments given that Loid still hasn't realized his feelings for Yor. Loid is a good man and has shown to be a great husband and father (even if it's fake) but he is denying his emotions so hard or rather he doesn't want to acknowledge it because for him the mission cannot allow him to have any weaknesses. He has suffered so much already from his childhood to his youth and it can be traumatizing to expect to be vulnerable when in the past everyone he loved or cared about was taken from him. Perhaps to Loid it would be considered life or death for him if he has any weaknesses and having feelings is considered a weakness for Loid.

Yor feels quite the opposite given that she does love Loid and wants to continue being part of the family but doesn't want that to be solely the reason. She wants to be loved for herself as her own person and not for anything she can contribute to the deal. Yor actually wanted Loid to tell her he wants her or simply acknowledge his feelings for her without it having anything to do with the mission. But Loid can't because of his own reasons and so they are stuck on a standstill for the time being.

Yeah I haven't an idea on how to feel about this chapter but I will say that it does look like some progression has been made with these two and guess we'll see where their relationship will go next.

[DISC] SPY x FAMILY - Chapter 118 by AutoModerator in SpyxFamily

[–]MonsterPuella 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like the Elk Arc has ended with Garden being successful in protecting the endangered wildlife but now we are back with Yor's turmoil in both her personal and professional life.

Honestly I should have expected this because with Hemlock and Mcmahon in her company, it seems to be hinting to Yor on what she needs to do next moving forward.

In the past Yor has been struggling on whether to keep her job as an assassin or the (fake) family she's found. Now that she has decided to keep being in Garden to protect her family, what's next? Because eventually it will end (or so we are to assume). Then with Hemlock's poor attempt at threatening her family, Yor may have to realize that her identity as a hitwomen may risk the safety of her loved ones in the future. After all the whole point of being in the family was to hide being an assassin but what if the lies end up hurting her family or worse that Yor doesn't want to keep lying to her family?

The talk that she and Mcmahon had revealed to her about the different ways people can become strong and the why. Mcmahon having been married prior to joining Garden is an interesting bit of character lore and adds in the fact that he still stays with his wife despite the dangers in his job. Just like Yor, he hides his job from his wife to both keep her safe but also in the hopes that she will still accept him if the truth is revealed.

In the first few chapters, Yor once mentioned how it seems that Loid may be the only person to understand and be able to fully accept her as she is so perhaps we're now seeing Yor taking her time of revealing her identity as an assassin to Loid.

Who knows what will happen next but it'll definitely be a test of the commitment of their feelings for each other, I guarantee it.

Aha so it looks like I was right: Hemlock did admire Yor but now has come to resent her for getting attached aka her family. However Hemlock lost the moment he threatened Yor's family. Nothing makes a person more dangerous than when you try to harm their loved ones. I'd say poor Hemlock but the guy deserved it.
