A running theme within the Forger Family is that while Loid fully understands that his Family is a front. Yor over time has tends to forget that her marriage and family are fake.
This particular moment sticks out with me because Yor looks Loid dead in the eyes immediately after he reassured her that she’s doing fine as a mother and said “I’m really glad I married you Loid.”
No mention of “as part of our arrangement” or “because I can continue my contract killing job.” just Yor telling Loid that she’s genuinely happy and fortunate that she got so lucky to marry someone as understanding and endearing as Loid.
During the Bond Introduction Arc, when Anya read Bond’s mind of him seeing the future, this panel perfectly describes how Yor would feel if Loid suddenly died and left them both alone.
Throughout the Manga the lines between real and fake blur for Yor just as quickly as it did for Loid.
When the Cruise Arc happens and Olka asks if Yor’s family is just a cover for her real job, it’s a harsh reminder to her that they still are still a fake family. Yor completely forgot that she’s with them out of circumstances and you can see the hurt and sorrow in her eyes of that reminder
But as long as she is able to go home to Loid and her family, then who cares if her marriage and family is fake? Who cares if she has to drop thousands of bodies? As long as Yor can keep them safe from her line of work and go home to them, that’s all that matters.
Yor has always loved the fact that Loid has always been supportive of her in what she does since the very beginning, always looks to him for approval and support. Yor’s motivations as an Assassin are so similar to Loid’s motivations as a Spy that it allows her to do what she does with no regrets and she knows Loid would understand and respect her decisions at the end of the day because as she puts it:
I colored some Spy X Family panels from the manga with @un0vian !!!! on the first one he did the thought bubble and I did Anya, on the second we split it in two and he did left side while I did the right one!! This was so fun to do :DDD
A relationship should be 50/50. I am an assassin who asks him to marry me while we are being chased away by smugglers and he is a spy who decides to propose me with the safety pull ring of a grenade as explosion combusts in the background.
Tired: Loid would give damian the typical shovel talk when he and anya get together
Wired: Loid would take one look at this kid, realise that his daughter has grown close to powerful collateral sure to attract TONS of enemy spies and assassins, subsequently putting Anya in danger
So what does he do? he offers Damian refuge by saying he’s always welcome in the Forger household as an escape from his family’s problems and power struggles between siblings.
ULTRA-wired: He and Yor take care of Damian and keep him safe whenever he’s over, making Anya happy and letting Damian feel familial warmth for the first time in his life. His presence becomes so frequent that it isn’t long before he’s become part of the found family, and Loid would STILL be going on about how this is “aLL fOr tHe mIsSion, it’s just to maintain peace i sWEAR-”
