if I had a nickel for every time Hilda became teary eyed because a close family member was forced to chose between staying with her, or returning to live with their parents in the magical otherworld they're native to, and came THIS close to leaving her only to come around at the last minute, condemning themselves to potentially never see their parents again because the life they've built with Hilda is more important to them, their bond is unbreakable and their love eternal, and they'd move mountains to make her happy, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Happy Fourth of July!
Steve is afraid of loud noises after being held captive under Starcourt and being shot at in the mall. However, he still likes watching all of the bright colors in the sky on Fourth of July. So when Eddie comes along, he comes up with a solution. He puts headphones on Steve’s ears with loud metal music (eventually his) and hugs him all night while they both watch the fireworks. That way they can both enjoy the sights from the comfort of each others arms.
And if Eddie would rather watch the awe on Steve’s face rather than the fireworks, well, no one else needs to know.

"Ugh, I don't know what's up with me . . . it just feels fucked up? Woohooing right here in the same bed where I sleep with Dol-"
"Baby, if I pushed you into that in any way-"
"No, not - that was fine, I was into it, too, but . . . but you were so chill about it, about me sleeping with someone else right in front of you, and I don't know how to feel about that. I know we're not exclusive, I just-"
"Did you want me to get jealous, baby? Because that's the one thing I can't do for real, but if you wanna play out some kind of cuck scenario maybe we could-"
" . . . I don't know! I'm not feeling this. I'm putting my pants back on."

here's how it goes, every time.
[MEDIA] is released
the internet goes feral over [MEDIA]
my various social media pages are filled with nothing but [MEDIA] for months
literally everyone on earth is wrapped up in [MEDIA] frenzy
everything is about how awesome [MEDIA] is
i finally think "hm maybe i'll check out [MEDIA]"
i read one (1) post about how horrible [MEDIA] is
i then never see another post in favor of [MEDIA.] the internet now hates [MEDIA.] [MEDIA] is problematic and juvenile and cringe and pretentious and a whole host of other things.
no one admits to ever having liked [MEDIA] in the first place
i am forever left wondering if i dodged the bullet by avoiding ever getting into [MEDIA] during the craze or if i missed out on something wonderful because one random asshole with a DNI list longer than War and Peace strung the right buzzwords together in a post that went viral and it turned the whole internet against an incredible piece of art

The thing thats consistently bothered me the most in the fallout show is the racism. I would hesitate to recommend it because of that alone. And there was obvious love that the set and prop designers, actors, costume department, and even maybe the writers put into the show! There are themes and characters in fallout that i'm certain would resonate with fans of color!
It KILLS me that so many of the fallout entries are damn well unplayable/watchable in this regard because the writers simply Don't Care how the people in their work are presented. That this like hugely popular world with a lot of worldbuilding and thought behind it does such wrong to so many people, fans and otherwise, that you cannot find any game in the series that does it right or well. It alienates a lot of people who might've been fans just because the majority white creators and fanbase don't give a shit, and I'm sick of it.
it's not enough to say "in the fallout in my head that racism doesn't happen," you actually have to put some things into PRACTICE. Allow space in your head, your games/show, your fan spaces for people of color! notice and say something when you see racism coming from media, yourself, and others!
