If I Had A Nickel For Every Media That I Liked That Has

SxF playlist pt. 1

So I've been collecting songs for my spy x family playlist for a month now. And since today we don't have new chapter I will rant about some of this songs here

1. Foo Fighters - Waiting on a war

This song right here describes all spy x family setting and Twilights story. Because peace between Ostania and Westalis is shaky and nobody can actually guarantee that it will last. And while civilians may live more or less peacefully, Twilight is always waiting on the war. But he knows that there's something more than that in life and with Forgers he has chance to have it

2. Hozier - Like real people do

I just needed Hozier song, because TwiYor have very Hozier romance. "I will not ask you where you came from" - is pretty much current state of Twilight's relationships with Yor and Anya. He knows they are odd but he will not ask them in fear of finding out. And both Twilight and Yor feel more like tools than actual people, but since they started Forger family they learn more about what "real people do"

3. Tember Blanche & Moisei - Ти лиш людина

This one's in my mother tongue (Ukrainian). For me it perfectly captures the feeling of the 86 chapter.

Chorus translation:

Show me your weakness, I don't ask you anything more.

If you are only human, then how can you live without fear?

Let's just say I can't wait fo Wheeler arc to be animated, because I have a vision for a really cool amv

4. Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Cold love

This one hard to describe. It has post reveal and opening up to each other vibes. It also has first joined mission gone wrong vibes. But most of all it has we are the same and we understand each other vibes. (Maybe I'll write songfic based on this. When I learn how to write hehe)

5. Rina Sawayama - Chosen family

Just a sweet song about opening up and found/chosen family. Very Forgers)

PS: I really need good songs for Anya and Yor. Especially Yor, since most of her playlists have femme fatale vibes, that don't suite her character.

If you have any recommendations PLEASE leave them in comments

'Has anyone actually ever told..?' YES! Countless times, actually. But you refuse to listen

my take on talia is that she is as unhinged as mischa. look, all we know about her is that:

• she and mischa were, quote, mad passionate online lovers. on facebook and twitter. in ukrainian. was it like а-ах мішенька не зупиняйся🥵 or more of a *ніжно цілує твої губи під пісні вокарчука*??

• she found him through his youtube channel called bad egg and wrote mostly positive feedback on his video. the girl spends her free time watching badly autotuned music videos about booze and bitches. she probably makes them too

• she styles her hair like julia fucking tymoshenko. not just that this hairstyle is super hard to make, but also what sane person would chose to resemble tymoshenko??

• she agreed to marry mischa (or mb even proposed herself) at the ripe age of 18, upon never seeing him irl and probably knowing him for less than a year if not a few months

• she consciously shortened her name from natalia to talia. this was, for all i know, never done before. also talia means waist in ukrainian so there’s that

• and her middle name (?) is legit made up. were her parents pranksters by any chance? cause the fuck is moruska

• did i mention that she choose MISCHA BACHINSKI?? i mean who wouldn’t but still

verdict: she and mischa had to be separated because keeping them on one continent could’ve resulted in irreparable consequences such as everyone starting to use bro as a pronoun and dying of prolonged exposure to swagness

Yeah, first graders flirting game is fun. But I'm much more interested in those two having enough relationship history to be like "Oh, I forgot to thank you for your help. Mind helping again?"

Also "Isn't it just like you"... They are my brotp, I can't

After all this years I'm finally able to put into words what I think is wrong with epilogues

1. It's already been said by someone here, but I agree 100%. TSG was never exclusively PuckBrina story. So making epilogues that cover only their future is really lame. What about Daphne, Red, Canis, Relda, Snow and Charming, Jake? How Ferryport Landing and Fairie changed?

2. But even if epilogues HAD to be about PuckBrina, their relationship just wasn't written well. The main theme of PuckBrina (arguably) is maturing. It's clear with Puck, but he also helps Sabrina mature, especially in later books. But almost every action in epilogues seems childish.

Epilogue 1: The only thing I like about it is that Sabrina tries to move on from Puck. But why get married if you still hope for your crush to ruin your wedding? And Puck disappearing for 5 years (as far as I remember there never even was a reason)? And then interrupting the wedding? So fucking mature. I just feel bad for Bradley. He wasn't even treated seriously by the book.

Epilogue 2: Hooray! We're not telling our kids about everafters and Grimms! Because it went so fucking well fo Sabrina and Daphne! Again, maybe they had reasons, but as is it's just repeating Henry and Veronica's mistake while knowing EXACTLY what results may be.

Epilogues make it seem like Puck and Sabrina never went through all this development throughout books and drew no fucking conclusions after everything they went through. And MB could write anything as an epilogue, but for whatever reason he chose this 😐

Here I go again

Adding these queens, because I somehow forgot them last time

As I'm approaching my finals, I have to summon the strength of my favorite stem girls

I know a lot of people in the fandom have been disappointed that the recent chapters haven't been TwiYor-centric or even Forger family centric lately but...

... but the reality is (in the Spy x Family universe) is that the war didn't just affect Twilight and Yor, it affected a whole lot of other people. The war stole a lot from them; livelihood, wealth, families, and the possibility for a future happiness.

And because Twilight and Yor hated so much what happened to them, they don't want another person to go through what they did. Preserving the peaceful lives of other people is what motivates them to be the best person in their respective jobs.
