My favourite things are

The pinned reminder to check in after missions so everyone knows you're safe

Silver Wolf telling everyone to come see Blade's cool new outfit and Kafka and Firefly immediately showing up to compliment it

Firefly buying souvenirs for everyone in Penacony wasn't a one off thing or something only she does, it seems they all buy each other gifts whenever they go anywhere

Silver Wolf mentioning Sparkle!! I want to see them interact in the story!

The way Kafka treats Silver Wolf being a little indulgent. and that she calls her "dear." It reminds me of how she called Silver Wolf "darling" in her original trailer.

It's clearly set after the 4.3 story and Silver Wolf is so upset about what Blade went through that she doesn't even want to think about it. And Blade saying they'll talk about it once they're all together.

With each Stellaron Hunter they release, they just keep making it more and more clear that they all care so much about each other and I'm living for it.

As soon as I started Blade's trailer I knew in my heart that it was going to end with him walking towards the Stellaron Hunters and it did and I cried! And then I cried again over it only being Kafka and Silver Wolf because Firefly's still recovering from Penacony!

She has almost the same line in her original form, but she doesn't say "and your family" in that one and it's just such a sweet addition. It's a little funny too because Planarcadia keeps giving Stelle opportunities to call Himeko her mom, but she really is Mom. I almost lost it over her addressing her anniversary letter with "To my forever young one" because it sounds so cute and it's dripping with maternal affection.

There is something about Himeko being The Navigator that always Gets Me in the same way that Dan Heng being The Guard does. It's just such a core part of their identities, something they're so proud of being and I cannot handle it. Because then I start thinking about how Himeko asked Dan Heng to be the Express's guard because she felt he wouldn't have stayed with them if he didn't have a way to contribute and in doing so she gave Dan Heng a home and people he loves so much that the most important thing in the entire universe to him is that he can keep them safe and continue traveling with them and I'm going to fucking lose it.

I just want 4.3 to kill me with the Stellaron Hunter family and 4.4 to kill me a second time with the Astral Express family. I love how much the Trailblaze and Finality can both fuck me up.

And this is supposed to be about Himeko, but I mentioned the Stellaron Hunters so I need to say I cried over the new Cosmicon event and how cute Silver Wolf was in it and Blade showing up to be a surprisingly chill old man and Yao Guang knowing Silver Wolf is really worried about Blade's condition and Blade's diver's license coming up again lmao.

Silver Wolf and Tingyun are both so respectful and polite with each other, it's adorable. I've got Thoughts about how Silver Wolf seems to have gotten a little attached to Tingyun so quickly. She looked so sad when Tingyun said she had to leave...

I feel like Silver Wolf tends to be such a sweet girl whenever she shows up in side quests and events. She was so sweet to March in her training event and I remember there was a random event in it that mentioned Silver Wolf has always been kind to March.

She also called Stelle her best friend and I was like, wait, that's so cute. I knew it to be true in my heart, but it was so cute to have her actually say it.

She made them play games with her!!!

I love how the progression of Silver Wolf's promotional videos is her terrible childhood in a world where no one cared about her, getting repeatedly killed by her future self from a different timeline to convince her to join the Stellaron Hunters, and then her having the time of her life hanging out with them when they're taking a break from committing space crimes.

Seeing her so happy and brimming with life is just such a good contrast to how dead inside she was in the first two trailers. It just warms my heart to see how much she thrives in the company of the other Stellaron Hunters.

Firefly was especially cute in it. She's so confused but she still lets herself get swept up in Silver Wolf's energy. It reminds me of how Firefly said Silver Wolf was the one who was always helping her experience new things. I loved all the games with Silver Wolf and Firefly sprites.

I kept seeing people making comparisons between Firefly's transformation sequence and Silver Wolf's because the movements and camera angles are very similar and it makes me so happy that it seems like it was a deliberate thing since they show them side by side in the trailer.

The best thing about the Stellaron Hunters is really the fact that they all care about each other and each show it in their own way.

I thought Sparxie might be the one to do Silver Wolf's Keeping Up since she's friends with Sparkle and I wanted to see what Sparxie thought of her, but I'm also happy that it was Blade and that he sounded almost like he was bragging about how great she is, it was very cute. It reminded me of Silver Wolf hacking the description of Firefly's Keeping Up and essentially being like "You better be saying nice things about her."
