SPY X FAMILY (CH. 105)
>> spoilers below
i think my favorite part of this recent chapter was seeing how franky has so many people in his life: from the forgers, to his fellow informants, to regulars at his store—there are so many people out there that he cares about or that he at least holds enough goodwill towards that he'll do them a solid when they need him. and for a lot of those people, that goodwill and care is returned. i mean, look at these faces! and the teller, too~ in a world where people are forced to take sides, i feel like franky's side will always be his own and whoever he thinks are behind that line
but what really hit was just franky's attitude as a whole. he's creative, curious, and cheerful, even in the face of frustrations and difficulties. he doesn't perform a life—he lives one, and while that means taking a lot of Ls in all sorts of directions, he can curse at them and pick himself up again just as quickly.
i really wonder about that strength tho—how much of it is the result of a healthy mindset? how much of it is a coping mechanism so he doesn't have to face his pain? how much of it is knowing that Life only gets infinitely harder if you can't pick yourself up when you get knocked down?
Damianya Week Day 6: war
I'm sorry. I'll have a better pic tomorrow I'm not sure about that, and I don't really know what's going on here, but they will definitely not let each other offend
Yeah, I cut Anya's hair, I think everyone understands why (Martha did the same thing, so I guess it's kind of a reference) I also put a cap on her so no one could see her horns, and because she has to use telepathy all time (to always be on the alert) she has a nosebleed (poor). Damian is just tired and hates it all, and so does Anya. I think they would make a great team to save the world. Damian is a smart and brave boy and in any situation he can think of the best way out. And Anya has a strong sense of justice and will always come to everyone's aid
still healing from arcane..
some more doodles based on our fellas from ch 95 :D
also she bc i have not seen her in the bg of the last chapter SDLFJSDKL gave her a little dress and everything!!! if you don't know who she is, more info on this little canon background character under the cut:
so her first appearance as far as i know is in the concept art shown at the end of volume 2!! here she is
i don't know japanese so i can't read what the text above her head says, but iirc she was supposed to be anya's friend as well! might still happen, i hold out hope, i like her design.
in terms of CANON appearances though, she's a background character! doesn't appear as much as other recurring girls because the ones who have the most appearances thus far are the desmond fangirls, which she's not a part of, but some of her appearances are:
chapter 25 (arts and crafts chapter, she's in damian and anya's group)
and chapter 28 (george chapter, she's part of the dance)
not sure if she has more notable appearances besides that, but she still appears nonetheless! as far back as chapter 9, in fact, which speaking of, here's where she is in class:
and here she is during the bus arc (panel from chapter 70):
idk if she'll ever be friends w anya and becky but esp w the impending class switch I HOLD OUT HOPE FOR HER! I LIKE HER DESIGN SHE SEEMS NICE!!!
commission i did for @damianyadesmond!! :DDD twas super fun to work on!
they're really not that different in some ways
sometimes I just suddenly get idea to draw Yor and I get something like this 🍎
Going by the official preview, I knew we were going to get a short mission involving Anya and Becky at the movies, but I was pleasantly surprised that Yor ended up joining them 😃 (along with Martha)
I had a feeling it would be the same movie Franky saw in the previous chapter! There certainly was a lot of kissing 😅
I like the little detail that Martha wears glasses when watching movies.
When Anya thinks of what movie they're going to see, in the Japanese version she mistakenly says ぎょじら ("Gyojira") instead of ゴジラ ("Godzilla.") One of the readings for ぎょ("Gyo") is 魚 (fish). So that's why it's a fish monster 😂
This scene was just so Anya. Never change, girl.
Another fun tidbit I just now noticed is that Becky calls Yor 師匠 ("shisho") which means "master/teacher" in a trainer to trainee relationship.
Poor Becky being surround by only abnormal women and unable to have the typical girlie talk she craves, lol.
But that's also what I like about Becky - she's still a good friend to Anya despite their differences in taste on...everything, lol. And even though Yor and Martha aren't like the women she idolizes in the movies and shows she enjoys, she can see their good qualities and still respects them.
I also love how both Martha and Yor are clueless about romance, for different reasons.
Yor is extremely inexperienced and flustered when it comes to romance, while Martha did try to pursue it, only for it to end in tragedy. My little headcanon is that, towards the end of the series, where Yor is struggling to decide whether to stay with the Forgers or not (either due to an identity reveal or some other reason), Martha is able to give her a "pep-talk"...convince her to follow her true feelings and find the romantic happiness that Martha herself wasn't able to attain in her generation ❤️
Jjj He looks super weird 😭😭
