something about how lucy was prepared to go it alone if vault 4 let maximus stay bc she saw how happy and relaxed it made him to be there but maximus gives up all the comforts and luxuries of vault life the moment he thinks lucy is in danger...

[heartsdefine]

lucy (gesturing to max): this is the boyfriend i go to when i want to really just be my best self. 😊

lucy (gesturing to coop): and this is the boyfriend i go to when i have to commit atrocities to survive. 😊

thinkin about it (the fact that the first word out of maximus's mouth when he regains consciousness in the observatory is lucy's name)

[atomiqueen]

was talking to my pal about how vault 4 is such a huge turning point for both lucy & maximus, and how they appear to have like the exact opposite arc through episode 6. i love them so.

lucy: excuse me, he said no pickles. :)

maximus standing behind her in full armor: 🧍🏿‍♂️

[atomiqueen]

STOP…

[atomiqueen]

something about how fucking terrified maximus was in ep1 when the brotherhood was interrogating him over something he didn't even do vs him choosing to admit to lucy that he lied to her and lucy showing him immediate empathy and forgiveness.

Me: …maybe v.aultghoul is ok, actually.
