Some thoughts on Nightfall
Nightfall presents herself as an ambitious, stone-faced woman. She doesn't care about what anyone says about her, and that "anyone" ranges from fellow spies, both supervisors and underlings, to random civilians and even mission assets. Despite her feelings for Twilight, feelings so massive that she can barely control them, she also gives him the same presentation and is so thorough about it that Twilight has no single clue about her feelings; to him, Nightfall is merely competitive and wants to be the best.
Yet, in her dream, she seems to yearn for Twilight's praise. She wants to be the best because she wants to hear him praise her. She wants to achieve world peace because that would make Twilight happy and available as a romantic partner for her.
Tumblr media
(btw I am very mad at the anime for not giving us whumped Twilight, even if it was from Nightfall's dream sequence. When am I gonna get my Twilight whump. This bitch thirsty)
She doesn't want to trick him or lie to him about who she really is. She's fully willing to use underhanded methods to get Yor out of the picture, but she wants Twilight to choose her because he sees her real potential and admires her for that. It's certainly a questionable way of going around it, but deep down it's all based on actual honesty and respect.
Tumblr media
The problem is with how dependent her happiness is on him. When she sees herself as his partner, her everything revolves around him. She would be the "ideal" housewife and mission partner because she would do everything for him; her entire time, money and resources focused on helping him and his mission. And believe it or not, I actually like how this is presented, because when a "satellite character" is so focused on their potential love interest, it's either that the narrative doesn't recognize how toxic this is, or the character is willing to lie and make themselves look "better" to get their beloved's attention. Instead, the narrative makes it clear that Nightfall's dreams are hopeless, that her behaviour is toxic, and at the same time shows that deep down she wants Twilight to choose her for knowing the real her. She's shown as a hopeless competitor for Twilight's feelings without being fully villainized.
In a way, her case is a little tragic. She seems to crave for his praise, for him to see the real her, and the fact that she isn't willing to lie to get that makes you wonder how she ended up like that. She's sabotaging her own happiness and is too blind to see her goal is unattainable (and unhealthy), and I can't help feeling a little sad for her. I feel like the honesty that she wants Twilight to see is a redeeming quality her character can step on, if Endo decides to make her a more independent character at some point.

Hi hello my friends and super nerds
I would like to write or do something with a Spy x Family + His Dark Materials crossover... aka ‘what if the Forgers had daemons’ scenario. I’m not great at form finding, especially on fictional characters, so I really hope some daemians can help me out .w.
I’m gonna preface this with two things: - I personally believe daemons would react to trauma and stress in bizarre ways. Most of the cast of SxF is severely traumatized so uh there’s some fun I want to do, like Twilight having never settled, Anya’s never taking a ‘real’ animal form etc - I’d ideally like a mix of symbolic and realistic form stuff. I haven’t been in the HDM/daemonism community too much for a good decade now, but I’ve seen some people say they’re different things so uh... I’d like to just blend it
Twilight (Loid + [REDACTED]): Due to the massive trauma early in life, his daemon has never settled. It basically gives him the master of disguise superpower easily, as it’s extremely rare (and bad!) when that happens. Even so, not many people know of it, just some WISE higher-ups like Sylvia, maybe Franky As Twilight, he’s very independent, detached, meticulous, solitary, detail-oriented, with a brain moving a mile a minute. His ‘default’ form would reflect this. As Loid, however, he’d need something more gentle and approachable, that cares deeply for family, but still very intelligent The fun part would be that he doesn’t realize he’s settling slowly by acting as Loid. I’m not sure if he’d really fit exactly what Loid’s persona daemon is, but we know ‘on the inside’ he’s very loyal, manipulative, crazy smart, anxious
Yor: We don’t know exactly what happened to Yor’s parents, but I think it was likely around settling years (onset of puberty). Having to take over an adult role for Yuri, I’d think she settled early and suddenly. She’s also fiercely loyal (even more than Twilight), cares deeply for family, worried about not being normal enough or not being good enough constantly, act first think later, scary when threatened When we first meet her, Yor’s daemon would be sickly, skinny, mottled. But through the story, they’d get healthier
Anya: Since Anya’s a child, she doesn’t have a defined form yet. I do want to note that, since she’s a human experiment, something is still very wrong with her daemon, though. I’m mostly going with that her forms are always mythical animals and chimeras, never a ‘real’ animal, but open to feedback if anyone thinks something different?
Yuri: His is ‘normal’... relatively. He probably also settled early but not weirdly or suddenly. He’s obsessive, overly protective, uses intelligence as power, aggressive, absolutely dedicated, only vulnerable to their loved ones
Franky: Probably the most normal daemon situation in the whole cast tbh. He’s a jokester but very smart and weirdly wise. He’s like the most typical ENTP ever, if you know your MBTI. Social and savvy, but not very charming
Sylvia (Handler): Her daemon would be quiet and stoic with an aggressive side. She’s a mentor and a leader, who deals with the unfortunate ugly situations, so she’s very dedicated and hard working. There’s a softer side to her, but rarely seen. Not as tunnel-vision as Yuri at all, but probably a form in the same vein
Nightfall (Fiona): Super quiet, super dedicated, super antisocial and unemotional. Except that she’s obsessed with Twilight, of course, just that she never shows it ever. I have an idea that her daemon likes to make ‘weirdly aggressive’ moves at Twilight’s, like laying on them, which Twilight is always slightly alarmed by but it’s just Fiona’s very miscommunicated adoration lmao
Donovan: He’s severed. Nobody knows this. They just think his daemon hides in his suit all the time
Damian: Wants to settle asap and tries to take ‘noble’ forms like lions and wolves and eagles, due to pressure
Becky: Is weird and tries to put accessories on her daemon. The forms are always extra pretty animals
Okay so now that I kinda wrote down the jist of the cast... Anyone wanna help me with form finding for them? .w.;;;;;;;;;;

Mission Debrief: Chapter Fifty
Tumblr media
...We’ve officially made it to chapter fifty!!!
And it only took us-
*checks notes*
-two whole years...
It’s definitely been a slow burn, that’s for sure. Honestly, that’s kind of my opinion of this arc at the moment. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s been one of the best so far; we’ve gotten a lot of character introspection on Yor, the family as a whole is developing, and we’ve finally gotten to see Thorn Princess in action and in all her glory. I think Endo has done a great job (as always) of making us as the reader care about side characters in a way that few mangaka can claim these days. Olka, Zeb, and Gram are charming enough that I care about their well-being, and the Director is such an undisputed badass that I honestly think he’s my favorite agent/assassin yet.
Still, I can see the plot start to weigh down a bit. It’s interesting because when the chapter first came out, both myself and everyone else I talked to were super excited and had nothing but glowing reviews. After a longer-than-usual amount of time to stew on it though (courtesy of the fic-bug biting me at the worst possible time) I’ve cooled off a bit on it since then. I still think very highly of the plot and the chapter as a whole, it’s just I’m feeling the pacing slow down a lot more this time around. I don’t see this as Endo’s fault, per-say. I acknowledge that it’s more to do with his hectic work schedule and the fact that half of the chapters in this arc have been shorter than usual. This combined with the month-long hiatus have caused somewhat of a stagnation in the reader’s perception, especially when you measure the current arc to the gold-standard of the Inusan (doggy) Crisis, which managed to squeeze a blockbuster movie worth of content in just six or seven chapters. Meanwhile, we’re seven chapters into the boat arc and I can foresee another two, maybe even three chapters before it wraps up, making this arc a bit of a marathon to get through in all honesty.
With all that said though, I’d again like to clarify that I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the manga. Endo is busy, yes, but is still pumping out great content. The arc is ending soon, and I expect the upcoming chapters to deliver on both action and Forger family goodness. With the explosion of popularity with SxF and Endo’s previous comments about wanting the story to go on for some time, I know there will be plenty of story to keep us engaged for the foreseeable future- both in terms of content and the usual page count we’ve grown accustomed to over the years.
Anyway, with that out of the way, let’s talk about the chapter.
Tumblr media
For about a split second there I thought we were getting a Franky chapter in the middle of all this. As you can probably tell by my long introduction this time around, you can probably guess that I was relieved when that wasn’t the case lol. Still, I love me some Bond panel time. Personally I think Franky is suffering from the Yuri problem of “I don’t wanna be anyone’s uncle,” though he’s clearly more qualified for the job than Yor’s brother is. In the future I would totally love a side chapter with uncle Franky, Anya, and Bond getting into shenanigans around town. Write that down, Endo!
Tumblr media
Okay, so the whole bit with Loid in the beginning started off funny. Then I realized he was having this deep introspection with himself, and I suddenly appreciated the moment a whole lot more. I am fully aware that the premise behind it is silly (him freaking out over Anya’s recent behavior) but his feeling and thought process here really gets to me. On the one hand he’s doubling down on being a spy and realizing his flaws while at the same trying to overcome them, though on the other hand you definitely get this sense of him having a serious dad moment of struggling to understand his child. Maybe I just have a soft spot when it comes to dads trying their best and it’s clouding my judgement, but he’s voiced his fears about relating to Anya before- multiple times in fact. Me personally, I really appreciated this scene. It humanizes Loid, even when he’s trying his best to be the opposite.
Tumblr media
I have nothing constructive to say other than I count the days until an anime comes out, if only so I can hear Anya singing all of her made-up songs. They bless my crops and give me life.
Tumblr media
This whole montage of them going about the ship is probably where it felt slow for me. Loid going around trying to understand Anya as the latter tries to ditch him is funny, of course, but it literally ends up being almost half of an already very short chapter. I love father-daughter time, and I would very much like a full chapter of just the Forgers going around doing things (like chapter three, only now with them being much closer and actually enjoying their time together). Given where we are with the arc though, I honestly wouldn’t have minded if Endo skipped another week and combined this chapter with the next one. Obviously I have no idea what he was planned coming up and thus don’t fully comprehend how that would impact pacing and the structure of the plot, but I just got the feeling that we got a lot of filler this week. Not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just- like I said earlier- the pace is already plodding as it is.
Tumblr media
Okay so literally as I was putting this together, I got confused for a second because I thought the top and bottom panels were the same thing (insert office meme about finding the difference between two photos here). This actually kind of helps me to conceptualize why I’m not as hot on the chapter as I was when first reading it. I feel like I’ve read this already.
The bottom panel is utterly hilarious- almost entirely because of Anya, and by extension Loid’s reaction to her borderline constipated face. It’s great, it’s meme-worthy, love it.
The top panel is good, but it’s too much like the bottom panel. That in itself isn’t some great sin or anything, honestly I didn’t even catch it till just now, but it does stress the issue of our characters being on a boat in the first place. Endo has done a pretty good job of making sure there are fun places for Loid and Anya to frequent while there and it gives at least somewhat of an impression that it’s not the same scenery all the time...but we don’t really see that. The reader’s focus for most of this arc has been either
a) Devoted to Olka’s party, and they’ve spent most of their time either in hiding or running down halls or
b) Loid and Anya, who are in various places- but it inevitably goes back to them eating, or in a quick montage, or also walking down hallways
There’s only so much you can do on a boat before it starts to feel monotonous, which is doubly true for the characters. In the past five chapters we’ve seen the characters eat four times, and three of those times were Loid and Anya. Honestly it’s kind of funny to me because I have family who frequently went on cruises (before the world went to shit) and they’d joke that after a while the only thing you do after a while is just eat since there’s nothing else to do. Maybe we’re at that point in the boat arc as well.
Tumblr media
Okay, I’ve spent a lot of time razzing on the chapter- which is something I really don’t take any pleasure in. So let’s just stop and appreciate Loid’s reaction to Anya’s adorable admission at the top of the post. I am living for this dumbass slowly start to whittle away in the face of his wife and daughter. I love his expression, because it’s not a Twilight one. It’s not really something he can mimic as a spy; that genuine softness that can really only come from being both relieved and happy that you’ve figured out your daughter, if only briefly, and can sympathize with her need to see your other half. Forger family softness. My shameless cocaine.
Tumblr media
Andddd we end it all with the promise of fireworks, a rendezvous, and all the assassins coming out in one last ditch effort to kill Olka and Gram. I could talk more in detail about all this, but it’s all rather self-explanatory. We’re coming on the end of the arc. Shit’s getting intense, and I am very excited to see how everything unfolds in the coming chapters. We’ll get to find out whether or not some of our theories from the beginning of the arc will come to fruition or not (the out-of-order emergency exit, for example) and also if everyone we know and love is coming out of this alive (got a lot of questionable fingers pointing to you, Zeb...)
I was critical of this chapter, but I’m a critic and it’s what I do. All in all, I am still very pleased with this story and I look forward to each and every update as they come. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the state of things as well. Do you agree with some of what I’ve said, or do you have your own opinions about the story and characters? Let it be known that I read any/all replies- I just have to make more of an effort to get back to you is all lol
Also, BONUS!~

Top 5 (ish) of 2020 ✨✨
rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (ish) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!
Yes, I know we're entering goddamn April but I'm slow okay
Hey, guys, it's Hyp!! Thanks @lacrow for tagging me and sorry for taking so long to do this, but time is an illusion and it really doesn't feel like 2020 is over even four months in, so let's jump in for some fic appreciation!!
5 - state-sponsored pajama party
I'm not doing it in any special order, so I'm just adding it as I feel needed and I really wanted to start with this little thing!! SSPP was written and posted on the first days of our Discord server so it really brings back memories that go beyond the brainstorming for the writing. Those who are closer to me in the community know that I'm a history nerd, so it's not a surprise that I would write something with real dark aspects of the cold war in which SXF is presented. But I still made it fluffy because fluff is the way to mend all the angst~~
4 - so cold it feels hot
Dear gosh, this fic is an experience lmao'' Crow's secret santa gift was A Ride to make, not only for the pressure of doing something for the ultimate fandom Dad but also because I put all the fluffiness on my bag to this gift. The first part is especially dumb but lowkey steamy and I loved writing it, so it really deserved to feature on the list!
3 - unseen tenderness
Now it's time for my forgotten WIPs oops
For an AU with only one chapter posted, one would assume I don't like it that much, but that's a complete lie. I love the concept of medium Anya and I really, really want to go back to writing more of it. It's just that life and plot bunnies keep getting in the way and I end up neglecting existing works, which is a real shame, really. But fear not, because yhese ideas aren't abandoned!... I'm just busy ;w;
2 - wrong turns (may lead us back home)
This is kinda old but I feel like people still hate me for it lol' So yeah, my take on the Bad End AU. Most of the writers around have their own idea of how it would look like and I take pride in mine to say that, at least, no one dies here. Yep, I know it's not the biggest flex, but whatever. Looking back now, I think there were things that I could have done better to make it closer to what we would see in the manga, but I still really enjoy it. Working with character developments and how certain events mold their personality is one of my favorite things while writing and I love how it was aplied to teenage Anya here. It's just too bad I had to separate Twiliyor for it ;-;;;
(I have plans for a follow-up, but again, me busy and lazy)
1 - forged papers and other discrepancies
The last and my all-time fave is one more for the neglected AU list, which I feel deeply guilty because the Papers Please AU is my soul. I love working with both canons to write this, while also expanding the created universe with fanon countries (Lacrowia citzens, where are you at?!). It is a gloomier and more serious work than the usual fluffy angst, but it's one of my attempts to show the potential of world-building in a manga like SXF. The politics, the history, the characters; they all deserve so much more depth than we as a small fandom can do (though we are smol but prolific af). With bigger fandoms come bigger problems, but I think it's the price to pay so this universe can get proper attention ❤️
That was all for the highlights of 2020!! The past year was really amazing in terms of fandom content and I'm grateful for having known so many great artists, who are still doing their best in 2021 (Fluffbruary was awesome and AUpril totally is going to be a bang as well, be prepared!!). I'm not tagging anyone this time because I really feel like an annoying bug to make them reflect on last year's works when we're in motherfreaking April from all the months, but!! If anyone who sees this want to shout out about their prides in 2020, feel free to tag me and I'll spread the word myself, because y'all deserve the love.
See you next time!~~

Chapter 6: “Complaint”
 Page 237
 Naotora’s victory against the Kishin has the Tatsuyama mine in a grateful mood! But, there’s a man who will not accept this…..
Miners: Thank you… You are the heroes who saved this town…!!
Kojirou: They are fighting for the freedom of Hi no Moto… They are the ideal “Buhsi” my father told me about! Righ, Musashi!?
Musashi’s thoughts: But… there’s no doubt that this guy came after and snatched away my trophy….
He fights for the greater good… And I’m fixated on my own merits…
No matter how I look at it, i’m small in comparison, and I know that very well…!!
 Page 238
 Musashi: I’ll tell my complaints…!!
 Musashi: I used to be an empty talker… that’s something I’m regretful of, isn’t it…!!?
That’s why….
I’ll tell my complaints...!!!
 Kojirou: I am Kanemaki Kojirou, and he is Musashi!
 Naotora: So, Kojiro and Musashi, hm?...  I ended up stealing away your first achievement, my bad!
  Page 239
 Kojirou: No, we lost it because our power wasn’t enough…. We have no complaints….
Musashi: What!?
Bushi: That’s right redhead! Naotora saved your life, so there’s no way you are complaining, eh?
Musashi: Whaaat!?
Bushi: The Oni will be the Bushi’s enemy until the the end, right?.  Guys who oppose their fellow Bushi *only care for themselves! (TN: *Are intolerant)
Everyone: HAHA
Musashi: …..
Musashi: That’s….
Musashi: true, isn’t it?
  Page 240
Musashi: …. Could it be like everyone says?
Musashi: Besides, everyone is so joyful because “Takeda Bushidan” won…
Musashi: These feelings of mine…maybe it would be better to keep them to myself…
 TN: Naotora notices Musashi’s feelings.
 Naotora: Now this guy…
Bushi: leader?
 Naotora: Musashi! You are quite promising!
 Naotora: Now you are WEAK but… from now make me your role model and do your best to reach me!
SFX: *PAT PAT*

Bushi: Oh! You were praised by the leader himself, way to go redhead!
Miners: You should thank him.
Kojirou: That’s right, Musashi!

I have to suppress my feelings…
I have to suppress them…
Suppress them…
Supr….

 Page 243
Musashi SFX: AAAAAAAAARHHHHHHHHG!!
Bushi girl: Redhead boy is such a weird guy!
SXF: AHAHAHA
Naotora: Well… I can understand that.
Naotora: You are worried about what everyone around us would say…. So, you were troubled about whether you could complain to me or not…
Naotora: You have courage, and you put up a great fight out there….
Bushi girl: Leader…
Musashi: …. ….
Naotora: I kind of like guys like you….
That’s why…
 Page 244
Naotora: I’ll give this to you… Musashi.
  Naotora: I am… Takeda Naotora.
Musashi: ….
Naotora… what… what is this?
 Naotora: It’s an “It’s a pity that you couldn’t beat the Kishin” prize!
 TN: LOOOL Consolation prize
 Page 245
TN: The meme face…
 Bushi: Well, it’s not ours anyway…. Takeda has lots of them already!
SFX: BYEBYE!
 Takeda: You want to get an accomplishment? find the next “Kishin” yourself! What I gave you will be useful for that!
Kojirou: You got a present…. What could it be?
Musashi….
Musashi?
Tumblr media
Page 246
 Musashi: ARGHHHHHHHHH! I’M SO FRUSTRATED!!
 Kojiro: What’s wrong? Wasn’t he a good person?
Musashi: No way, that guy has and awful personality!! Don’t be so naive Kojirou!!
Musashi: It can’t end this way! Is the “Takeda Bushidan” still in town?
  Page 247
Kojirou: Yeah… Their huge stronghold is still there so, I guess…
But don’t get into trouble, okay? We’ll leave this town tomorrow anyway!
Musashi: I’d hate to start our trip after getting my ass kicked! Is there a way to hit them back…!?
 Musashi: Don’t you have any good strategies!?
 TN: But Kojirou is looking at the consolation price.
 Musashi: Kojirou!! Don’t be so distracted with that thing!
Kojirou:  I’m examinating it! Didn’t Naotora-san say this would be a useful tool to find the Kishin!?
Musashi: Why are you calling him Naotora-san!? That evil sly thief…
  Page 248
 TN: Musashi takes the gift and examines it.
 Musashi: huh!?
It’s Aki’s crest!          
So, does it mean….?
Musashi: This belongs to the government officers, doesn’t it!?  I don’t want it!
SFX:  Musashi: I’ll throw it away! Kojirou: Stop!
 TN: But then Musashi looks through it.
 Musashi: Oh?!
Musashi: This is….
A kaleidoscope!
 Page 249
Kojirou: A Kaleidoscope?
Musashi: It probably is! It twinkles like one….
But why would the officials own this kind of toy for?
Kojirou: ….. ….
Kojirou: Huh? That pose you are in just now, I feel like I’ve seen it before…
Musashi: Really? Where?
Kojirou:  … well, in the bushidan picture scroll…
 Page 250
Musashi: huh? … in the bushidan picture scroll…!?
Kojirou: If you look at that picture scrolls, you might understand something about that tool.
Musashi: … But…
Musashi: Can I look at it…?
Kojirou: Yeah… it’s been a long, long time but…
Kojirou: let’s take a look, yes?
  Page 251
Musashi: So, was it hidden in this place?
Kojirou: Yeah, all right… I’ll open it.
 Kojirou: uh….
Musashi: It truly has been a long time since…. we saw this…
  Page 252
Kojirou: I’ll unfold it….
Musashi: …. …..
Kojirou: ….. …..
Kojirou: look there… the thing this bushi is posing with…
This looks like the tool you received, doesn’t it?
 Musashi: ….
Tumblr media
  Page 253
 Musashi: … Well, it looks like it, I guess?
Musashi: But isn’t this a government officer tool?
Kojirou: Didn’t they say that Takeda also has tools like this one?
 Flashback
 Takeda has lots of them already!
SFX: BYEBYE!
Takeda: You want to get an accomplishment? find the next “Kishin” yourself! What I gave you will be useful for that
 Flashback end.
 Musashi: what … what the heck, is this thing…?
Musashi: … I don’t get it!
 Musashi: ….
  Page 254
 Musashi: huh? The inside of this kaleidoscope…
Somehow looks like that picture scroll…
It has a lot of patterns.
 Kojirou: really?
But what is drawn in this picture scroll are….
Then it means these patterns are….
 Kojirou: are these Oni?
  Page 255
 Musashi: Oni?
Musashi: ….
Musashi: I get it!!
Musashi: This is….
A tool that can see the Oni…!!
  Page 256
Kojirou: A tool that can see the Oni, you say!?
Musashi: Takeda Naotora said so, didn’t he?! He told me to “Find the Kishin myself” ….
 Musashi: his surely is…. A tool that can see where the Kishin are!
 Musashi: If there are other Kishin….
We might’ve lost out first achievement but….
This means we have a chance to recover!!
   It can’t end this way! Blast that evil leader!! Continues in the next issue “declaration of war”!
------------------
Thanks for reading! ^^
