Yor finally figured out what we've all known for years, this calls for a celebration. Now to wait two and a half years before Loid stops making excuses and admits he might actually like his family.

Nightfall is like that dog who finally caught up to the car being chased and now has no idea what to do next. I do not know Millie but I wish her better than settling for too edgy too extreme Hemlocke. And Yor finally had her moment. Bless her heart, may she be kissed by her husband soon. Who's a jerko currently.

Funny as hell that it was Becky's advice of all people that got Yor to confess her feelings to herself. Truly she is a romantic genius.

I mean, Yor's book dumb, but has always been more in touch with her emotions and thinks deeply about her family.

anya using "hath" all the time is both great and a nice nod to prior worldbuilding with her one academic strength being classical language

It is really hard to get me to give a poo poo about romances in general, but I went "ohhh shiiiiiit" at the two page spread in this week's comicLt. Lizard posted:Loid has 18 INT and is currently using 17.9 points of it to rationalize away his feelings for his family. (0.1 point goes toward all his spy stuff, and it's more than enough) I don't think it's that Loid is ambivalent about his family, he's just focused on the mission above all else, so it takes a hell of a lot to get him to think about anything outside of that context OnimaruXLR fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Jul 21, 2025 |

OnimaruXLR posted:It is really hard to get me to give a poo poo about romances in general, but I went "ohhh shiiiiiit" at the two page spread in this week's comic Another complicating factor I've talked about before is that the more he actually catches feelings for his family, the more he's likely to want to distance himself from them. Using an innocent woman and child as cover in high-risk international espionage is already kind of a jerk move, and Loid's got enough of a moral centre that I can see him being very reluctant about actually leading on people he cares about to believe that a temporary business arrangement might be something more. Yor can afford to fall in love because that would just make her another Garden agent with a family, which is just fine in her employers' books. Loid can't because he's on a fixed-term mission in hostile territory, and that means he can't give anyone else a relationship built to last.

I was pushing for Frost/Yuri just for the disaster of that partnership but Frost/Hemlock has some really messy potential.

Well that's the thing, just how fixed-term is it? Loid's superiors themselves say Operation Strix is a long-term mission. Even in their best-case scenario where they get Loid in with the owl man and he and his people really aren't a threat to peace, they need to keep Loid and Anya there anyway to keep tabs on him and the rest of Ostania's bigwigs. Loid's likely in it for the long haul, which means so are Anya and Yor.

I think folks are overlooking the other ticking clock introduced in this chapter, that Loid has tasked WISE with digging into Yor's past. How long until Garden notices foreign agents sniffing around?

How long until Garden notices foreign agents sniffing around? I thought about it, but it's to be seen when that will actually go off. Remember that the Shopkeeper is interested in Loid's political inclinations but nothing has come of that and it's been since it was brought up almost halfway back into the series (chapter 66) almost 3 years ago. There are just too many spinning plates with the various plotlines, Yor and Melinda don't hang out that often and when we do see Melinda it's more to develop the relationships within the Desmond household. Loid hasn't even seen Donovan in irl years so his eventual proximity to the NUP hasn't created cause for the Garden to investigate him as well. and they otherwise don't seem to care about him.

Trailer for the next season of the anime dropped. Looks like they plan to cover the arc on how Loid became Twilight. English subtitles in closed caption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdB4IDEHFYk

They've met once over the course of the story, which has been about six months, but the point that it wouldn't give Garden cause to investigate Loid still holds.

The Garden still had a reason to investigate the husband to their assassin, especially if the Shopkeeper was upfront with warning Yor about her own proximity to Melinda with a not so subtle "you might have to kill her one day" threat. (at least that was my read, the shopkeeper doesn't seem fond of the conservative party) My point is that having Loid incite WISE to look into Yor's background doesn't really ping my radar because the other intelligence agency hasn't made a move either despite also having at least an initial prompt. When it happens it will happen, but it's not something I think will matter anytime soon given how long it takes any of these threads to develop or be relevant.

thetoughestbean posted:I think Loid should kiss his wife Disagree, I think it'd be wrong for Loid to kiss Yor while she knows nothing about the truth and Loid's mission. Loid should reveal his identity to Yor and Anya, having a long and open and honest discussion about what he intends to do with this mission, making sure there's some way they can leave safely if they don't want to stay, and having options for if they do choose to stay. Then Loid should kiss his wife.
