The way John looks at and listens to Gale when Gale is opening up emotionally, first about his dad and then expressing what they thought would be their last words.…we need to talk about more.
In both these scenes Gale is the one talking and Bucky is quiet, listening, a genuine hurt/sad look that we never see from Bucky, except here for Gale, so gentle and loving. Gale’s showing him a side that no one else gets to see. He’s hearing Gale’s pain and making him feel seen. It’s such a different side of Bucky, and his expressions here just reveal so much, his feelings as he’s listening. We can see him feeling Gale’s pain. That wince in the first one 💔
To quote @avonne-writes: “It really shows just how serious he can be. He listens. He’s attentive. And then, he tries to comfort Gale with gentle humour.”
I feel like that’s how he was able to reach Gale in the first place. He can be so gentle with him, which is something others couldn’t necessarily know that Gale needed.

Danny got comfortable on the roof, leaning froward with anticipation.
A silent thump and a person slid next to him, Danny barely gave the red head a glance.
"Any reasons to be on the roof at night?"
He shushes the vigilante, eyes not leaving the spot. It has Roy crouching next to him, watching as well.
Out of nowhere, a vampire looking fella flew around wildly, not far behind a ginger woman on a hoverboard, flying after him.
The Lady is shooting lasers with deathly accuracy, the man (?) dodging barely. It had Arsenal hum at the show.
"That's my mom." Danny points at the lady. "The guy she's hunting keeps harassing me so she took matters into her own hands."
Cheshire Cat lands not far away from the two, head tilted with a silent question that had Roy nodding and she is leaping away to the next roof once more.
"Why not call the authorities?" He asks, appearing less tense and more friendly to the teen.
The kid whistles sharp with a grin before answering.
"Tried, unfortunately, he's super rich with influence and connection. So here we are." He shrugs.
While they watch the chaos a bit longer, Roy ignores the insisting buzzing from his comm, Cheshire Cat probably alarmed Oliver by now.
He looks up when Danny stands, stretching.
"What was your name again?" He quirks his brow with a smile.
"I don't remember telling you."
Roy rolls his eyes, joining the teen to his feet. "So?"
"Danny."
He steps off the roof before Roy can react, a shout building up, until he sees the kid sitting on the hoverboard of his mother, her hand ruffling his hair.
"See ya, Arsenal."
They're long gone when Arsenal huffs, laughing.
"Until next time, Danny."

my favourite thing about act 1 Shadowheart romance is that she’ll say all sorts of wild shit like “try not to dream about tying me up” and all the stuff with Abdirak, but when you get her romance scene she’s too shy to actually kiss you. she just sits there and looks at you with her big wet puppydog eyes and waits for you to notice and kiss her first

merlin told arthur his favorite color was the color of the sky during sunset when it shifted into a deep violet. arthur gets a tunic made in that exact shade. its the best thing merlin owns. arthur was hoping that would mean he’d wear it almost everyday but merlin almost never wears it. the only time he does wear it is when royals come to visit (which isn’t all that often). arthur “subtly” asks about it and merlin is like “it’s the best thing i own. i’m not gonna dirty it mucking out the stables or serving rowdy knights wine while they splatter food on it” and arthur is like “why not wear it when nobles come to visit? look at least a little presentable for them” (cough nice save). merlin doesn’t see the point in it bc nobles don’t care about him at best, view him as less than human at worst.
arthur really just wants to see his boyfriend servant in the tunic he had made for him (bonus points for sending a message that merlin is his. not that merlin seems to notice. man is too much of an idiot). merlin wants to preserve his favorite tunic and gift from his boyfriend king.
