I've kinda talked about this before but I love how we get to see the Forgers' different ways and levels of keeping secrets and of accepting their place and their love for the family.

Bond is the simplest case. He's not exactly "hiding" his precognition because he has no ways to communicate it to anyone, but rather openly acts on it to protect others. However, upon meeting the family he went like "Good humans. I will love and protecc" and hasn't looked back since.

I would argue that Anya's secrets are bigger than Yor's, for the most part because her powers are constant, and also more invasive in their lives than Yor's secret job. But Anya also immediately accepts Loid and Yor as her parents and calls them Papa and Mama without hesitation because in her mind, they are her parents, end of story. She is the daughter of the Forgers and it's up to her to keep it that way, thus she keeps her powers a secret because she fears that them becoming known would mean the end of the family.

Yor's secret is more indirectly dangerous due to the nature of her job, but also more possible to cause trouble. Anya is not responsible over her powers; Yor chooses to stay an assassin (though with understandable motives behind her choice) and she is fully aware that the moment her real job is revealed she'll have to leave them. At the same time, she feels insecure because for all she knows, Loid is a kind, simple citizen who is unknowingly covering for an assassin and has welcomed her into his home and family, so she feels she needs to always do her best to pay this kindness back. So her accepting her place in the family doesn't come immediately, nor easy. But through the course of the first season, she slowly got to the place of realizing she loves that place enough to be motivated to do her best to keep it, not so much for cover anymore, but because it really is a precious place for her.

And on the far end you have Twilight, who builds this entire family based on lies as a cold, distanced requirement for his mission. He is not supposed to love them, he is not supposed to see any emotional value in his place in the family, and he is not supposed to consider any alternative other than pretending to be Loid Forger for as long as this mission lasts. Despite Anya and Yor having secrets of their own, they are honest about their past and their true characters. But everything about Loid (or almost everything) is a researched, calculated choice. The moments he reveals true parts of himself are a precious few, and come out of him in an attempt to connect with and comfort the others, and rarely benefit the mission directly. He's not only the deepest in on the lying, he's also got the longest road to walk to accept his place in the family and his love for them.

GOOFIES SHIT EVER KKKKKKK

that ship had sailed long long time ago. ukraine had realized one thing clearly since last year, and that is every inch taken by russia is an inch for where russians will launch the next invasion.

russia would never have dreamt about land bridge if it wasn't because russia had occupied parts of donbas and the entirety of crimea.

right now, russians should be thankful that their military forces inside ukraine may get to retreat in time or that they can someday surrender instead of being wiped out-russian forces need to understand that it's really putin who wants them to be wiped out. putin has enough military forces inside russia to protect him. putin does not want any russian military forces to return home except to perpetually serving their tour inside occupied regions of ukraine.

putin will gladly praise the heroics of a million russian soldiers perished inside ukraine. russian soldiers are just like russian missiles to putin, plenty of them in stockpile to use.

LMAO TWITTER IS REALLY TURNING PVP IM LAUGHINGGGG

FREE FOR ALL, ITEMS ON, ANY STAGES

reblog if its friday and you made it

What’s funny too is that in most of my bios I say “I draw cute girls and lesbians” and yet I still have people go up to me and say “can you draw men. Do you hate straight people.”

“You need to diversify your art” actually no I don’t, because if I don’t draw lesbians every day I will literally die‼️

You draw bugs! What more do people want ftom you!?

Actually your society is the freaks for shooting everything that moves and burning half your "nature reserves" every year so that upperclass dandies can eat leaded pheasant. North Americans are the well adjusted ones here, your country has become a desolate suburban lawn in island form
