Spy x Family Mission 75 Spoilers-ish (But mostly just a dissertation on Melinda Desmond) :

Alright, I’ve finally calmed down enough to have actual semi-coherent thoughts about Melinda. So here we go, this is gonna be a long one.

I’ve seen a few posts calling her terrible and that she’s a bad parent but I really, deeply believe that’s not the case at all. I don’t think she’s a character that Endo put there for us to hate. I think she’s a character that’s there to be pitied.

She is clearly a severely broken woman. We got a hint of it in her reveal with Yor, we saw glimpses of the duality -her saying she didn’t care about the punch or really anything in Damien’s life at the table with her friends, then asking in the car when she and Yor were alone if Damien and Anya were friends - and then she gave us that expression.

I think we were all supposed to have our own opinions about what that face meant at the time because it was just so hard to pin down (and we have no Anya to give us insight) but now that we know a little more about her, it’s starting to make more sense. It’s warped and fractured and a caricature of what a happy smile should be. I think it shows that she has two very distinct, opposing mind sets about her life and the lives of her family and because of that she’s a very conflicted and complicated woman.

The fact that she raced over to see Damien shows us that she loves her child. She ran to that boy with tears in her eyes and dropped to her knees to hug him, that was a mother who was distraught. No one expected her to do that. Damien himself definitely didn’t. Anya even likened her thoughts about her son to a Yuri level of obsessive compassionate. But the second Damien mentioned his father a switch flipped. She fractured.

Donovan seems like a very cut and dry asshole, I’m sure he has some different facets but they’re probably all just variations of shithead. He was pretty blatant with his ideas, beliefs and ideologies when we met him, (for now) he’s an easy character to understand. Melinda, on the other hand, seems to be the opposite. I’m sure we all have our theories on her background, she’s most likely from a wealthy family and whether her marriage to Donovan was an arranged one or they actually did at some point love each other (or some truly wild Third thing that probably is the case given this manga’s propensity for curveballs), it’s clear that at this point they’re not on good terms. It’s obvious that Melinda hates Donovan, I have a theory that Demetrius may be the root of that hatred.

I believe that after he was born and she witnessed Donovan’s indifference towards their child aside from indoctrinating him with his twisted views something in her shifted. Donovan probably even made sure her interactions with her first born would be limited as he was grooming him to be his heir. I’m going to guess that not only will we find out that Demetrius looks like Donovan but he will act like him too. My theory is that she wanted a second child, not Donovan, (especially since it seems like Damien is the only one of these rich kids with a sibling) Melinda wanted a child to teach to be good and to love and dote on since she saw that Demetrius was too far for her to ever actually reach. But I think that even that didn’t work out the way she wanted and it probably became evident to her pretty quickly that even though Damien as the second child would never get as much attention from Donovan as the first, she still wouldn’t be able to completely remove his influence from their shared child’s life. And every time that she saw him, her precious second attempt, search for approval from a man who she hates some of that hate transferred over to her feelings for Damien, (because to her, why would he love a man who clearly has no love for him when she’s right there showering him with it? Why does he care about that man’s approval when she’s right there giving him hers?) I think Damien’s desire to be loved by both parents, and her witnessing that she can’t change that slowly chipped away at her until she became this heavily fractured, incredibly wounded woman who probably had no healthy coping mechanism and it developed into this severe dissociation when it comes to her thoughts on her children.

It’s heavily implied that Damien and Demetrius have very different personalities and I’m assuming that as much as Damien looks like his mother, Demetrius will be a copy of his father as a way of showing us which parent they take after. Demetrius was his fathers project and Damien was his mother’s (failed) attempt at combatting that influence. And I think that’s why her thoughts about Damien that first time are so…let’s say enthusiastic (obsessive), and why when she hears him talk about his father - a man who couldn’t even be bothered to show up after his child was in a bus hijacking - we see her thoughts jumble. We get both sides, the incredible love and the bone deep loathing and unfortunately both are directed at this softest, sweetest of beans.

TLDR: she’s complicated and needs much therapy.

Anime only watchers and people who aren't caught up with the Manga, BEWARE... Cuz I'm about to discuss Spy X Family Mission 75... You have been warned...! 👌

[SPOILERS AHEAD FROM THIS POINT ON]

[Breathes in............. 😤]

(This gif perfectly describes how I feel after reading this chapter... So let's talk about it...!)

The chapter begins with Anya, Becky, Bill, and Damian each getting a Stella Star (as they should...! 😤):

And at first, I was like: "Is Endo really just gonna skip the direct aftermath of the hijacking...?" 🤔 But then, a few pages later, we get exactly that!! 😄

One by one, everyone's parents came to pick them up (we even got a small glimpse at Ewen's mom and Emile's dad...! 😁) And then, it was just Damian and Anya...

Which honestly hurt my heart a little seeing Anya looking into the distance like that... 😢

Then, we get one of (in my opinion) the most sweetest / wholesome moments between Anya and Damian...!! 💗😊💗

DAMIAN EVEN CALLED ANYA HIS FRIEND...!!! 💗😆💗😆💗(Which he retracted soon after...!! 😁)

But then, Damian says this...:

💔MY FREAKING HEART...!!!💔

WHY DO YOU THIS TO HIM ENDO!!? 😫

(I swear...!! If the Forgers don't take Damian in, me and rest of the fandom will gladly adopt this boy...!!! 😤)

After that, Yor finally showed up to get Anya, which led to THIS:

💔MY BABY GIRL!!!💔

She really tried to play it off like she wasn't scared... 😢 Oh, Anya...! 💔😭💔

Then, we got the first big surprise of the chapter...:

TWILIGHT ACTUALLY SHOWED UP...!!! 😲 (And I'm happy about it!! 😊)

But that wasn't the only surprise...:

Melinda Desmond actually showed up!! 👀

And because of Anya, we finally got to see her inner thoughts...:

OH MY GOD!! 😱 WHAT AN ENDING...!!! AND WHAT IS HER DEAL?!!

And that was Mission 75, and it blew me out of the water...!!! 😵 I've said it a bunch before, and I'll say it again... Endo can always find a way to surprise me and keep me guessing...!! 😊 AND I LOVE THAT!!! 😁👍

As for where things will go from hear, I couldn't tell ya...! 😅 But what I do know is that Anya knows something's not right with Melinda now, and I wonder what she's gonna do with that information...? 🤔 Only time will tell...!! (Also, I wonder if Twilight was informed about the situation or if he heard about it a different way... 🤔)

Anyway, I had a great time with chapter, and I hope that y'all did too...!! 😊 So until next time, I see you all in the next Mission...!! Take care everyone...!! 👋😁

Spy x family 75 spoilers ahead!

So to start I like everyone else loved this chapter. Anya and Yor reuniting, tsundere Damian and all the kids getting stars! Plus more insight into the fucked up desmond family

But what I wanna talk about the most is Twilight’s reaction

We didn’t get a proper reunion or see Twilight get visibly upset, which is a bit disappointing, but in all honesty even if I want to see that big emotional reaction from him being protective over Anya I just don’t think we’re at that point in the story yet

Like from a meta narrative perspective the moment where Twilight finally snaps and fully gives into and accepts the protective/parental feelings he has towards Anya is going to be a HUGE deal.

It’s been built up since basically moment 1 when Twilight says he gave up hope of ever having a family, and his whole character arc feels like a slow climb to that moment. Like when he saves Anya from the initial kidnapping, when he tries to send her off, during the interview when he punches the table, etc etc. he’s fighting between the two sides of himself- the stoic spy and the family man. Even ditching his mission to run to the bus is an example of this inner battle.

I do think we’re going to get a lot more small moments like this, seeing that protective side slowly taking over and him trying to push it down for the sake of the mission. We’re also probably going to get moments of him saving Anya or Yor secretly or in disguise like on the ship. (Or secretly as far as he knows considering Anya’s telepathy)

But eventually the big moment everyone wants where Twilight stands up for Anya (and possibly Yor) as himself will come eventually. It’s just not going to be for a while bc that moment is quiet literally the culmination of his character arc

I will also say that when this moment happens his won’t be protecting his family from random terrorists. I actually think it’ll probably be against WISE in some way

*also I think him being kinda casual about it makes sense in universe. I think all three of the Forgers have a bit of a skewed perspective on what’s normal when it comes to danger and trauma. All three of them had decently traumatizing childhoods.

But Twilight specifically having spent so much time as a spy and so little time with civilians- I don’t think he exactly knows what is a normal amount of danger or trauma for a child to go through. Despite how good he is at reading ppl and all that I think to him once Anya isn’t in physical danger anymore he mentally classifies her as okay. Like once he got her out of danger with the kidnappers he was just like “alright let’s go home”. So I think to him now that she’s no longer in physical danger she’s basically fine (especially bc Yor is there to help her through the initial crying and panic)

Anyway uhhh that went longer than expected sorry lol

Spy x family Chapter 75 spoilers below the cut

(kind of an analysis)

So it looks like Melinda does love Damian, but it's being prevented of taking care of him by some exterior force, probably Donovan huh

(I wonder if its something similar with Demetrius)

Important thing: Damian finally considers Anya a friend. Very important, although Anya almost put the car before the horses there.

I mean, he probably already did before, but he is too confusing for Anya.

Loid was there, of course. "He came flying," probably exploded the other mission just to see Anya

Yor came too, and Anya cried, and my heart goes 💔

Yes, she is a child. It's easy to forget this because of how utterly intelligent and understanding of the situation she can be, always turning the situation to benefit herself. But she's just a child, between 4-5, pulling out insane moves as a way of survival

I'm still processing how Melinda does love Damian (probably).

This is ending this arc, so it's hard to try to predict what is coming next. I wish we could see Yor and Melinda interacting more on the scene, or maybe in an aftermath (?)

Of course I want to see Loid immediately dismantling his mask and crying after getting home and cuddling Anya (but this is improbable). Just wish we could see him having a more emotional reaction (besides leaving his other missions and getting between a bunch of SSS agents)

Wish we could have a bonding moment between Yor and Loid

But we were blessed with bonding between Yor and Anya, which it's harder to occur than Loid and Anya

I think the manga is devolving nicely. If you look back, we can see the evolution of everybody's character and relationship, especially then, as a family

Twilight, although still extremely efficient, putting "spy work" to the side to care for Anya. Yor questioning her assassin work. Anya strengthening the bond she have with her friends and family.

They love each other, your honor
