ObaMitsu Family Portrait!!

I love this scene 🥺

Anya: uh, I think I got your lunch, mama. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘I am very proud of you. Love, Loid <3’*

Yor: Ohh, yeah. I didn’t think this was for me. *Holds up a note that reads: ‘Be good. For the love of God, Please be good.’*

If Arian ended up staying in Rome with Effidel, I know he would've eventually started spoiling her just like his mother did

Really wanna write about this Heian AU....

Okay, I was studying. But I accidentally came across the premise of a simplistic early Noh drama version of the "Tsuchigumo" story. You might or might not recall that this is the story of the giant spider demon slain in a few Kabuki retellings, including "Kumo no Hyoshimai," which was the basis for the official KnY/Kabuki crossover last year. In that Kabuki crossover, Giyuu played the role of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, aka Minamoto no Raiko, a noble and a warrior (and goodness, that Kabuki makeup was becoming on him, wasn't it?). In this Noh version I stumbled on today, he's not joined by his four legendary Kamaboko warrior cohorts, but instead he is treated by a handmaiden who comes to bring him medicine and comfort him when he is suffering an illness of both body and mind.

The handmaiden's name is "Kochou." Yes, written exactly the same.

So, so get this. Picture it. Heian era times. Giyuu is a warrior. Shinobu is his handmaid. Yes? Yes.

Alucard in the sunlight ☀️

SPY X FAMILY could have gone so differently were it not for the choices Yor and Loid made as parents. The series could have been a darker, cynical drama about a false family who only use each other for their own gains. Loid could have been a strict abusive father who use corporal punishment to shape Anya into perfection and discard after she is no longer of use. Yor could have been distant mother and wife to Anya and Loid so when the time comes there would be no hurt feelings once she leaves them. Their traumatic childhoods could have been the convenient excuse to make them be abusive parents. And Anya would have been left a lonely, broken child.

But instead Yor and Loid refuse to rely on that flimsy excuse, instead they actively choose to be good parents to Anya, taking care of her and loving her as their own child. Maybe it was part of their personality, sharing the same desire to create a peaceful world where innocent people can live happily, but it is always a joy to see these two adults work to provide their daughter the normal childhood they were deprived of. The Forger family we know and loved could not have existed were it not for the choices Yor and Loid made as parents to Anya.

Mr. Gardener, I hope you'll be the endgame for Juana 🤞

The fact that they're enemies makes the small possibility of a romance between Arian and Griffith so angst-filled.

I can think of a few ways it could end:

- She kills him

-He kills her

OR, for a more optimistic yet highly unlikely scenario, he joins her side and helps her defeat Balor. But again, this is highly unlikely.

I'm afraid of it being a tragic romance if they do end up having feelings for each other. But I think it makes a potential relationship between them all the more flavorful: because angst is like garlic. Sure, the fic/food will be fine without it, but with it there will be added depth to its flavor. And you can never go wrong with too much garlic.

The buildup of their feelings in terms of their conflict against each other's side and inevitable confrontation would be so good, omfg. It's scary and exciting.
