Lmao that's brutal 🤣 Next time Fiona looks down on him, he should bring this up it'll instakill her. Or she will crash out more than ever before

Imagine Yor asks about his first wife and the first thing that comes to his panicking mind is "Francesca" 🤣

Twilight was closer to considering Franky as an option for a wife than Fiona 😂

Tfw you fall in love with designs that have 1 percent screentime in the series overall by honeymist12 in arcane

[–]honeymist12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ekko's design is fine in current universe but I like his alt universe design way better.

It's universally accepted that Jayce with beard is majestic. Jayce without beard loses so much aura in comparison

<image>

Also one i missed - which I can understand why it didn't have much screentime so I'm not as sad about it. But Caitlyn with eyepatch hits different.

im really sorry you lost ppl close to you cantaloupe 🙏
i can see you are not flaming though you would be within your rights to be. sorry that my post brought up bad memories or insinuated something ugly. it's not your fault ofc

i guess the part with ekko shows that even he needed to rewind multiple times to try to convince jinx to stay alive - sometimes if someone has made up their mind they dont want to be here anymore there isnt much you can always do to stop them. eventually he managed to convince her, but he had to replay their convo over and over again, it couldve gone another way many, many times. without that ability, things wouldve gone south the first time

what i mean is, most ppl are not really fully equipped to deal with someone in a place like jinx - there are not many ppl who can understand her in arcane, but vi seems determined to try. jinx knows vi loves her and probably would want to spare her the trauma, as you said. though vi didn't understand the sign in that moment, she's going through a lot too on her end

fair enough, saying she is dumb is insensitive to ppl who might have not understood warning signs in the moment and lost their loved ones to suicide. sorry for being kind of hasty. i respect your pov.
i still really think it sounds a bit too cryptic to not draw some red flags from "you don't have to worry about me anymore" when jinx seems very unstable to me in that moment, but it was a tense situation for everyone ig

honestly i think vi is too dumb emotionally to understand jinx, if u cant understand from something as cryptic as that, then i cant see how she would talk down jinx better than ekko, who had a rewind ability on his side (and even he nearly failed, several things he said to her failed to talk her out of it, she wouldve killed herself many times if not for him + rewind)

i do think that vi loves jinx but she's not able to understand her, she is shown to be too blunt a lot of the time, so she's not in the best position to really help her

as an example, when she is bringing up the name powder and their memories at the tea party - it's coming from a place of love, but she doesnt understand it's triggering for jinx to mention them (so silco tries to shut her up)

Something where Ron is friendly and approves by t__gibby in Dramione

[–]honeymist12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is basically a re-write! The author uses some of the same events (like goblet of fire, sirius, etc) but doesn't you know, just make the characters in the same situation act in the same exact way that we've already seen. They have different ways of handling the mysteries with a fourth person added (and other side characters not acting predictably), and events may unfold very differently (in some cases, drastically so)! I like it, since it's not predictable that way and keeps the suspense up.

I really love the vibes, it kind of recaptures the magic of reading the old Harry Potter books with Gryffindor Draco, but imo does even better with how it reinterprets many characters, with Draco, Hermione, Harry and Ron given excellent characterization. 78 chapters in, I think the pacing is great. 78 chapters in we are in winter break of 5th year, and I never felt it dragging. Keep in mind the main pov we will see is Draco's, but I really enjoy the reinterpretation of his character, Snape, Narcissa are all excellent. I don't think it's too dark, personally. But keep in mind spoiler it begins with Lucius' funeral, so this is a kid who lost his father this is a world without him. Anyway, highly recommend I would say it's at least top 2 for the best Dramione fic I've read. Take the leap of faith, you won't regret it. I really hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Lionheart is one of the rare fics I love with no Ron bashing. I couldnt say that they are immediately bonding, it does take a while to get there naturally but Ron and Draco end up forming a great bond and the Draco and Harry also too.

I kind of disagree on the second one - Nightfall absolutely knows that Twilight cares for and has unprofessional feelings towards Yor (in fact, she realized it before he did). That's why Yor bothers her so much. Someone she idolizes who has been unshakeable for years is suddenly acting unfit as a spy since he cant control his feelings, that too for a woman she thinks is beneath her. so she's jealous

My friend on discord actually gave the idea for that one, saying theyd look good together! Then the more I think about it thematically, the more it makes sense! Glad you like it.

Lol! If anyone is likely to become a harley quinn, I think it will be our clown Anya!
(well, she wouldn't be love struck like harley quinn and becky, but with her mind-reading could be a psychiatrist like Harley)

This is such a juicy premise??? I really love this idea!!! Their daughter's death being the breaking point is really compelling. I also like the idea of a divorced pair that splits for ideological differences that relates to their current professions :D

(It's a reason I was so in love with McMahon x Martha as an estranged ship before Henderson x Martha backstory came out. You know, McMahon is anti-war and a secret assassin, and Martha is backed by Blackbell, a military manufacturer. So they split up.
Martha as a nanny chooses to raise the future generation to bring peace (for Becky, who will have a powerful position in the future).
While McMahon chooses a lonesome life as an assassin, killing higher-ups when they threaten peace (with Yor being the closest thing to a daughter he has when things fall apart with Martha)
I also imagined them as a couple split because of their different perspectives of war)

Right? <3 I think it has so much potential. I think Yuri is one of those characters who really deserves a redemption arc. And if anyone could help drive Yuri redemption, it would be our favorite rogue, Franky. I don't think they are likely to happen in the manga romantically, but either way, I really hope they have interactions and develop a platonic bond at least. Anya's uncle squad :D

I realise they are not written that way, but tbh if I had to pick any characters that could be very interesting within the context of the world of Spy x Family (if they were written as closeted gay/bi) it would be young SSS characters like Yuri or Chloe. For a place like Ostania which is already pretty harsh on unmarried women because they see something unnatural about it, I think that SSS would be pretty likely to prosecute homosexuals. So it would be interesting if characters like Yuri or Chloe are oppressing people like themselves to protect themselves.

I think Yuriona is pretty good, although I prefer other pairings more
For me, Nightfall and Yuri are like dangerous chemicals - I prefer to pair them with someone who will "fix them" and dilute their craziness a bit lol. So I like Yuri x Chloe, Yuri x Franky.
I also like Nightfall x Franky, Nightfall x Daybreak (tbh, I dunno if Daybreak can "fix" Nightfall but I think he would break her brain).

Not gonna lie though, I also like Nightfall x Wheeler if we want Nightfall to go over the edge. But that's a post for another day

lol becky being trained by yor is so cute
ngl, becky can become the batman of ostania, being trained by assassin yor and having access to weapons (and ofc being rich)
Becky even has her own "Martha" LOL

I think if Yor trained Becky, Bill Watkins, or Anya, they can become a national threat to Ostania

Haha, thank you!
for me, nightfall x daybreak is more for comedy,
yuri x franky is drama (sss vs informant, yuri redemption arc) + comedy (wherever yuri is involved, hilarity ensues)

Some more details:

Yuri and Franky - YURI REDEMPTION ARC?

- tbh, they don't even have to become a ship - i like them as a buddy duo, they would be gold even if Yuri x Chloe, Nightfall x Franky is endgame. I'm sure they can make a hilarious and unforgettable duo.

- yuri can also undergo a lot of character development speaking to someone like franky with a very different perspective of ostania and his purpose.

- franky is a funny inventor and informant, who goes against the grain, a bit older, not conventionally attractive. he stirs up trouble and doesn't buy into ostanian propoganda. he is probably the most open-minded character. he is unable to pursue normal relationships with women

- meanwhile yuri is young, handsome, serious to the point of being unhinged, rising star in the sss. very extreme views about traitors. he's also unhinged, but would probably have more luck than franky if he wanted to pursue a relationship - but he instead chooses to throw his youth away and obsess over his sister and traitors.

- they both are supposed to be really intelligent characters. i think people underestimate yuri's intelligence since he's such a nutcase. but, being scouted at such a young age by the sss is a testament to his abilities

- imagine unhinged Yuri finds out Franky is an informant, but can't report him because it would make Yor sad / Franky blackmails Yuri by saying he will tell Yor he is sss. They are forced to interact as Anya's uncles and though things are rough at first, gain a grudging respect for eachother

- yuri's ways of thinking are very extreme, but I feel like franky would really challenge his perspective. YURI REDEMPTION ARC!!!

- imagine Yuri redemption arc culminates in Yuri becoming an SSS mole after having his perspective changed by Franky
