Comic!
Full disclosure: I wasn't thinking it should be shortened to "Hilde." I was thinking, "Oh Brunhilde, you're so looovely."

That's great! :)

Just caught up on PoI a few months ago, really hoping there's a season five.
Also, is Brun the Topher to Hilde's Chris?

My sister has a son named Christopher, and she shortened it to "Topher", which we all thought was great.

Would that it were so....
When I was in college, I was very far from home and very poor. Usually I couldn't afford to go home for holidays.
But I could have a big potluck dinner for a bunch of my friends (mostly very nice people) who, for whatever reason, were no longer welcome at home. And I did that. I'd invite folks over and we'd have a big traditional feast and games and tree trimming or whatever, and I think that, aside from being pleasant for all involved, it was just plain good for all of our emotional health.
The reasons why they weren't welcome at home ranged from falling in love with the wrong person (or what their parents thought was the wrong gender or the wrong race or with more than one person), getting a job as a dancer at a club, converting to a different religion, volunteering for military service, not volunteering for military service, telling their parents that the nice boy they tried to set them up with is a flaming abusive jerk, refusing to join Dad's frat, and just plain BEING AT COLLEGE (parents had odd religious beliefs about education in that last case).
I was appalled at how easy it was for good people to be rejected by their families.
Anyway, somebody had to do it. And I myself had a cousin who died of HIV rather than seeking treatment, because my aunt had a goddamn hissey fit about the scandal he'd cause if he came out and was going to throw him out of the house. I didn't speak to that aunt again for two decades; I haven't forgiven her yet. Anyway, since so many of my friends were in that boat, and I missed my cousin, it just seemed like the right thing to do.

Good for her. While Hilde isn't the most common of names it's good to choose something different.
