Thoughts about Twilight being the same age or younger than Yor given his "history" with documentations and identities?
I really doubt that even WISE knows his real age nor name so I've been thinking about this.
*MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD*
He is most likely older. We’re told in Twilight’s backstory that he faked his age to join the army before he was 18.
By the end of that chapter, we see his childhood friends - who we can assume is the same age as Twilight - have joined the army as relatively fresh recruits. Which puts Twilight at ~18-19 ish when he joined WISE.
When he joined WISE, the war was still ongoing. We know that the war ended 10Y+ ago, which is consistent with Twilight saying he’s been a spy for ‘ten-odd’ years.
So, Twilight’s definitely older than Yor - how much older depends on 1) when exactly the war officially ended, 2) when we think Twilight joined WISE - beginning? middle? end of the war?
But ‘Loid Forger’ is also probably older than Twilight’s real age. If that makes any sense. I mean, his cardigan look instantly ages him 5-10 years… but in a ‘aged like fine wine’ kind of way.
I also think Loid is older than Twilight, he would have undertaken about 10 years of schooling to become a psychiatrist and he's supposed to have a 6 year-old. Both can be concomitant but that would still make him a bit older than Yor.

One small detail which is telling in the war chapter a is that during [redacted]’s war games with his friends, his code name was ‘Advisor’. He never had a ‘rank’ because he had no toy military gear.
Even early on, Endo paints [redacted] as someone who was never meant to be a soldier, someone who is very clever but did not belong on the battlefield…
Well, no one belongs on the battlefield. But [redacted] like others before him, others after him, and those to come in the future - they have military ranks thrust upon them by circumstances, despite his nature. Which of course is one of the main themes in the series.
This man is famous and loves talking to everyone who will listen.
All kinds of opinions. Loads of 'em.
Dear Mr and Mrs Forger, opening a bottle of wine every night for dinner is CRAZY. Can’t you kiss and have sex every night after your child is in bed like a normal couple ?
I noticed this, they drink a lot!!!! 3 bottles of wine for a picnic, no wonder Yor struggles

Twilight absolutely cannot read the nuances of social interactions and feelings …
… yet is perfectly sensitive to even the slightest frown from his daughter and wife.
It goes back to my point a few posts back about how Twilight nitpicks everything and everyone’s behaviour because they are targets and part of his job.
Anya and Yor though, as much as he is still lying to himself by going ‘for the mission!’ are in fact part of his Non-Spy life now. It’s all personal. That’s why their little frowns and tears hurt.
I would like to politely disagree - he understands the nuances, but he doesn’t really care because he knows it happens. We’ve seen how practical he has been. Being frustrated and nervous doesn’t help at all.
Example: he is annoyed during the tennis arc because Fiona, initially, seemed to be very difficult to work with just because of the comment of his colleague and her abnormal behaviour. But he remained calm and collected. He just wanted to get off work quickly, and he knows that if he gets irritated, or if it gets personal to him, the work is not going to end.
That is why it’s interesting when it comes to Yor and Anya - it’s personal. He overreacts so much he doesn’t even act like a good spy. Note that he has been a good spy all along. He’s one of the best, and it does show in different situations.
He would completely lose his cool when it comes to Anya and Yor. He’s a good spy because he had always been emotionless on the surface. He was able to nitpick because he doesn’t care. It’s all work and he’s rating them according to their work performance. Yor and Anya are not work, and that is exactly why he overreacts.
Bonus - he did nitpick the performances of Anya and Yor in chapter 3. He worries if he doesn’t get his job done.
Probably reading too much into it but this video has always filled me with such indescribable longing. Like the climax of a sports movie where everyone else has turned away from our hero facing impossibly long odds except for the one die hard with his fists clenched whispering, “come on you son of a bitch, you can do it.” But “it” in this case is outrunning the toxic nightmare of urban sprawl. I want him to run so fast he breaks free from the things we’ve done to this world. I want him to clear the city limits and find the forests that don’t really exist anymore. To gambol and forage and rest in primeval bliss. I want him to make it.
On this day 10 years ago, b.a.p released one shot, the best kpop song and MV ever created
They both have hard exteriors but are surprisingly warm on the inside. I like to think that someone on Zuko’s council was getting a little too cocky. And these two badasses won’t allow it. Credits to cattyps.

I used to have geese so here’s a tip for everyone:
If a goose is attacking you, don’t run. No matter what, stand your ground. They can fly but when they’re mad, they don’t usually try to fly. Hold your hands in front of you, ready to grasp. When the goose gets close, grab it by the neck bit closest to the head and squeeze. Not tight enough to choke the goose, but tight enough so they can’t break free. You can hold them until they calm down or just do the next step right away. The next step is literally just to chuck them as far as possible and run for your life. It makes the goose know you’re in charge and you have a better chance of getting away. Trust me I’ve done this so many times that I’ve lost count
I can’t tell if this is a shitpost or actual advice. But I do know geese are the fucking worst.
Actual advice! Just yeet a goose
I’ve been reading the replies to this so here’s an update!
Actually, I have picked up a swan by just, slotting in under my arm; once their wings are held in place they just sorta hiss a bit and accept their fate. It’s how wildlife centres and rspca deal with them. They just use swan-bags, I’M NOT kidding, that completely neutralizes them. LOOK AT ALL THESE DEMONIC BULLIES BEING DEFEATED BY BEING CHIHUAHUA-HANDBBAGGED.
In fairness, in MY CASE, this was a juvenile male, but old enough that the dad had evicted it from the lake. He was in my way, hissing and refusing to move; and if you hiss at me, that’s a challenge, baby!
Most birds will accept their date once you have their wings (geese will, in my experience, chill once you have them under an arm too, I pick them up like that). They transport peafowl in sacks like that too:

i will never not call ikea bags “swan bags” from now on
Wait are we all ignoring that you apparently threw a shark once? Please tell us more!
My family likes to vacation in Topsail, North Carolina, which is a little barrier island mostly covered in vacation homes. We rent a huge house in their off season, when most people consider it too cold to be at the beach, and we, with our icewater blood, consider it quite pleasantly deserted.
I love going for walks at night, especially when there’s a clear sky, so I, age sixteen, would go a few miles up the beach around midnight most nights. One night, while still about a mile from our house, I saw something rolling in the surf.
“That’s either a plastic bag caught on a log,” I thought, “Or a four foot shark.”
I jogged over. It was not a plastic bag caught on a log.
The shark was moving and didn’t appear to be hurt, but was caught in water only an inch or so deep, being pushed higher with every wave. I was by myself, and didn’t own a cell phone, and couldn’t see a house with lights on in either direction. There was nobody around. Leaving to go get help would probably take long enough for him to suffocate. The best thing I could do for this shark, I figured, would be to get him back in the ocean.
I have no idea how he wound up so high on the beach, because it was a very shallow slope. I’d have to carry him a good fifteen or so feet to get him into water deep enough to swim. It was nearly a full moon, so I could sort of see what I was doing. I got a grip on the shark, careful not to squeeze too hard, in case he was hurt, and picked him up. He didn’t like that at all.
I started walking into the water. Here’s a thing I didn’t know about sharks: They’re pretty damn flexible. I got a couple steps with this shark, looked down, and realized there were a hell of a lot of teeth coming directly at my forearm.
It occurred to me that I had not thought this through very well.
I’m not proud of what I did. It seemed like the best way to get this shark back in deep enough water and avoid dropping thirty pounds of very bitey animal directly on my own toes. So.
I yote the shark with as much force as I could muster.
He curved through the air like a thing of beauty, all angry and toothsome in the moonlight, and splashed wonderfully into the deeper waters. I caught a glimpse of fin diving away shortly after.
And that’s the last I saw of him.
my name Hellen, i walk the sand, i lift the shark stuk on the land. before the teeth can find their mark, i thro the fish, i yote the shark.
im fuckin weeping
Hellen! You did not tell us if the shark was rough or smooth.
Smooth as hell, obviously.
I admire Heiji’s optimistic denial of what genre he’s in.
Accurate
this roast is so good it reached into the future and dragged movies that weren’t even in development yet
Hot take: directors watched it and collectively refused to cast Englishman in future Robin Hood roles just so this joke can live on forever.
