Spy X Family Analysis - Tumblr Posts

Okay so I have a thought/headcanon about Spy X Family.

Anya always does a little hand pat on people when she notices they're upset as a comfort. Which is super cute.

But what's even cuter is, I think she got is from Loid.

In the first episode, when he officially decides to keep her after rescuing her from the thugs, he acknowledges it by putting his hand on her head:

And then in episode 2, when Anya gets worried that Loid having her is preventing him from finding a wife, he again reaches out and rubs her head while assuring her it's not her fault:

He also pats her head in the episode after she gets accepted into Eden and she tells him she's going to do her best.

I think there's some others but I don't feel like trying to find them 😅

Anyway, I think Anya pats people to comfort them because she felt loved when Loid did it to her. I would guess she's never really been given physical affection before, and so Loid doing that made an impact on her, and that's why she does it to others.

*MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD*

Twilight thinking ‘geez, authentic marriages sure seem difficult’ like he’s not worked his behind off to stay being married to Yor is kind of rich.

He eats his wife's food, no matter how inedible.

He has learnt to trust his wife, no matter how against his spy nature it may be.

He tries his hardest to make sure his wife never has to shed a tear.

He feels like he needs to clear the air with his 'fake' wife that he's not real-cheating on her because... ? I don't know, but we must give him points for trying to keep his 'pretend' marriage alive.

Aaaand of course, he puts up with Yuri, the weird little dude. Twilight really doesn't have to, but he does. For the mission. Or something.

The thing is, Twilight's 'fake' marriage is in fact no more or less difficult than an 'authentic' marriage, because - it may come as a shock to him - he and Yor are partners and they have to navigate and be sensitive to each others' feelings as any other married couples have to in their relationships.

It just doesn't feel difficult to Twilight. Not because he's Westalis' Best Spy and nothing is too hard for him. No. It's because he's Ostania's Best Husband and it doesn't feel like work if you're in love.
