I know the bar is so low it's in hell but these are the moments of healthy masculinity that warm my heart. It's okay to be afraid of needles! It's okay to need some comfort! It's okay to get that comfort from another straight dude! At a time when empathy is seen as a weakness, this is really nice

A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."
