—millenial/gen z stuff that miguel loves and how his dead family reacts to them—
miguel def shares game accounts with his cousins and he’ll talk about either some crazy steam fad or his latest POTG on overwatch and his family’s just wondering how and when he met these friends from los angeles and houston and friggin seoul and moscow
let’s plays and podcasts they can broadly put under the “it’s just like radio” umbrella
miguel joins the dnd club in middle school and his first character is a bard so blatantly modeled after hector that hector himself gets absorbed in the adventures of “fernando del fuego” and can hardly stand the fact that updates are YEARLY
(it’s a pretty relaxed and loosely-scheduled campaign though, so most of the important stuff really does take months to happen)
miguel is a HUGE ‘my hero academia’ and ‘haikyu’ nerd, though he’ll say he only watches shows like ‘fruits basket’ and ‘your lie in april’ totally just because he shares an anime site subscription with rosa and he keeps getting her recommendations
his family’s honestly fine with whatever he’s watching; they can glean that he’s not into anything too risqué.
though those horror survival games that he’s got tucked away under his bed definitely raises some brows.
(out of curiosity, hector finds a copy of resident evil 7 at a rental shop back in the land of the dead. three hours and two weeks of uneasy sleep later, he’s written down some STRONG words for when miguel crosses that bridge again)
(one sentence includes “if you’re here before you’ve even reached 40, I THINK WE BOTH KNOW WHY”)
