So watching the newest Spy x Family, I see everyone squealing over Uncle Franky (don’t get me wrong I am too) but I also think his outsider’s perspective is kind of sad. When Anya is waiting for Yor and Loid to get home, the line he says there struck me.
“Hey, do you like your mom and dad?”
Like that’s a weird question to ask a young child who, hopefully, should love their parents. But Franky I think is acutely aware that they aren’t Anya’s real parents and the Forger family is fake. Franky has worked with Twilight for years, knows him very well and has presumably seen him make and drop identities like one would an article of clothes. We’ve even had Franky directly accusing Loid of being too clinical, focusing only the mission. I think Franky believes that once Operation Strix is completed, that he’ll leave and Anya and move on to the next assignment.
I think that idea has colored a lot of Franky’s interactions with Anya. Yes, he’s also a big kid and wants to run around and be silly. But I also believe he’s trying to give this girl a sense of happiness and family presumably before she’s dropped off at the nearest orphanage once her usefulness is outlived. Like we all know Loid is catching feels but he’s a Good Actor and it might not be readily apparent to his coworker. Idk it must be so sad for Franky to watch this little family interact, to sweep up a child so clearly desperate for love and family in a spy operation, only to realize it won’t last.

I'm nosy as hell, mind if I ask what your favourite part of LISA the Oblivious is and your favourite character?
i dont mind at all!! there's a lot that i absolutely adored in oblivious, my favorite part OVERALL is how you expanded on the uncles and their own backstories, you gave them a lot of life and personality and took characters I was mostly neutral on and made them characters i could absolutely adore. Also Junior!! I was actually so happy seeing him in a flashback and included in Rick's little happy family scene with everyone. It's just really obvious throughout the game how much went into everyone and portraying them correctly and it made my whole playthrough such a treat because that's one of my FAVORITE things to see creators do. I'm very character oriented when it comes to media i enjoy and Oblivious absolutely fed me well in that category
scene wise probably the final fight with Rick, i was so genuinely distressed throughout it trying to calm him down and it really just solidified for me my attachment to these characters, also the animated visual with Rick entwined in the joy hallucination meat still sticks with me. i was SO upset over the idea of having to fight Rick, i was just desperately doing everything i could to calm him down and it was such a relief that I COULD, it leads so nicely into the ending of the game i think having that high stress moment and then just the really sweet 'Rick was taking him home this whole time' revelation
also just,,, sticky and cheeks hug,,,, it was so fucking cute thank you for gifting the world with that moment
as for favorite character it feels obvious to pick one of the main ones but probably Sticky! It's just so nice how he's balanced between 'i care about rick' and 'rick is a joy mutant and this is actually so stressful dear god', hes trying his best despite everything and seeing how he interacts with the other characters and contemplates his situation in campfire scenes is really nice! There's so many things with him that I love, from how he always goes first and keeps Rick behind him to help keep him out of trouble to his little moment of 'Brad doesn't think i would do that, right?', it all builds up such a solid character for him
i also really like the whole personality you built up for Cheeks, him being the sweet one of his group is such a perfect fit with everyone else
Tyrantula jones is another fave, i enjoyed his fight and the interaction he has with sticky after you read his journal, not to mention his animated move in his fight took me the fuck OUT when i saw it

Coming to terms with childhood trauma is fucking insane because yeah I knew this fucjed me up but now that I'm thinking about it why the fuck did my uncle STAY FRIENDS with my dad after seeing me start crying after he called just to yell at me??? Bro what the fuck how could you be friends with someone who does that to a 7 year old??? Insane, and then having the audacity to, now that I'm an adult, be like "oh yeah I never liked him" man u used to hang out with him of your own free will???
