My day #4 - Spy × Family Chapter 108
Merry Christmas Eve's Eve!!!
Today has been another Quiet day, so I will just sort of .. list things in a general order.

Today I added a new page to this site!
At the moment, it is still glaringly empty, but I am hoping to fill it up with all sorts of links when I have the time.
. It's a work in progress. 
A very long section about Spy × Family
I finally got around to reading the most recent Spy × Family chapter, and I'm very excited about it. We've had a lot of time to wait, as Endo went on another hiatus in-between these last two chapters, but I think it was worth the wait.

Generally speaking, on a very surface level, I was already very excited for the chapter as I am a big fan of the art (most of my screenshots are clips of the characters, as opposed to anything happening in the story). The short of it is that it is a chapter about all of my favourite girls talking to each other- so lots of frames of them together.
On a more detailed front, I am finding where the story is going to be very very very exciting. I was excited, for one, to see Melinda and Yor bonding more; I love watching them talk together and I love the general plot point of their friendship. I am- and have been- looking forward to the way that side of the mission unfolds, and this chapter has opened a lot of opportunities for the characters in that direction.

I find it interesting that Yor doesn't consider herself as a person with any hobbies- or, I guess, I find it interesting that Yor doesn't have any hobbies. It comes up in little ways, but I love allusions to Loid and Yor as characters who exist and perceive themselves as less than people.


This chapter has really surprised me with it's exploration into Damien's relationship with his mother, in a way that I am very excited about. I am very interested in his family, and so I was excited to see so much in relation to their dynamic, and I am looking forward to posting a little more of them as I continue.
I love the writing of Melinda's internal dialogue. I love the complexity of her thought patterns, and I think there is a lot of interest in understanding the ways she thinks that I am looking forward to seeing potentially explored in the future.

I also enjoyed the look into her perspective on their dynamic.


I don't have anything to say specifically about these panels, but I'd like to put them here. They make me want to go Ohhhhhh ohhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhh oooohhhhhh over and over and over, And do that thing Anya does where she crosses her arms and does that little wave back and forth.

I'd love to know what feeling Anya was sensing she had read before. It may have been heavily implied and I just haven't understood it quite yet, but this chapter has had a lot of intriguing things brought up that I'd love to see more of. I also a little bit just wanted to mention it so I could post the panels and show the art.
I found the scenes where Anya and Yor talk to Damien especially devastating. Unfortunately it is another one of those "I don't have anything else to say" mentions, but I again love the exploration of his relationship with his family. You can't help but feel sad for him and his experiences, but in the same way, I am looking forward to seeing more as we delve more into Melinda's wellbeing.

On the mention of tarot reading, I found the perfect excuse to torment and ambush Wheatley with Purrty. Upon contacting Purrty, we both concluded neither of us had any clue as to whether or not the tarot cards Melinda pulled had a particular meaning to the story. We employed the one person I knew that would be able to deliver the best research on the topic.

He delivered
I'm not really sure what to say about it, but I do find it very interesting how the cards really do reflect Anya, and in particular her experiences with Damien, as she was asking. I think the cards reading so much hope in their future is very promising.
Generally speaking, I was really happy with this chapter! There's chance that it has just been too long for me to remember what I really thought about the previous ones, but I haven't felt this excited for the future of the manga in a little while.
I was very excited to see Loid again after months (one whole chapter ago).

I sort of almost forgot how much I love him, especially in the manga and it's art style. I love both his internal self of Twilight, and his external persona of Loid. I think he is looking very cute in the panels he is featured in, and I am happy for him in the way of his mission's development with Melinda.


✰ The End ✰

I opened osu! today. I managed to play one song the whole way through very well and then unfortunately sort of lost it straight away.

I also opened Project Diva at one point, but I'm not sure I did that for very long either.
I managed to get some art in today! I joined Key's whiteboard like I wanted to, and invited Wheat, and so we got a few bits and pieces in.

I also got a few bits done in my own time. I am proud of how the Scythe turned out, and I am glad I got to draw the Wack art, even if it didn't turn out how I wanted to exactly... I drew it with "Little Miss" in my heart. I also fit in a couple of Lains.


Okay! I think that is finally it! I have been writing for so long that it has gone into the next day, but I will just go in afterwards and fix the dte posted so that it formats correctly.
It's so late in the day
, to be honest I had planned on playing Phighting today but I think I have run out of time.... we will see. Hopefully tomorrow I will add to the new page and... I've forgotten but there was something else I wanted to get done.
I am looking forward to Christmas Eve, and Christmas over the next couple of days! Unfortunately I think that is sort of it for my thoughts on tomorrow.. it will probably be similar to today.. sleep in very late and try and do as much as I can at the end of the day. I am looking forward to taking a bath tomorrow!
