I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.
Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.
Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.
And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.
All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.

While watching the end of days, I briefly wondered why it was Gwen alone -- and not Ianto -- keeping vigil by a been dead for too long Jack and then I remembered
What happened the last time he refused to let go of someone he loved who everyone else would say was gone / beyond saving
That after Jack comes back to life, Ianto tries to fucking shake his hand. It's Jack who pulls Ianto into a hug and then a kiss, because Ianto thinks that little of his place in Jack's life.
(And then right after all this, Jack bolts, indeed leaving him (and all of them) behind.)

[in Pulitzer’s office during the children’s crusade]
Pulitzer: ENOUGH! Give up this strike now, and we’ll burn your “union” to the ground.
Jack: Uhhh, don’t you mean “or”?
Pulitzer: …Fine. Give up the strike now, OR we’ll burn your “union” to the ground.
Davey: Well, which is it? Because that seems like a pretty crucial conjunction.

chrysijacks au where chrysi and jacks were childhood friends (bear with me, i swear this will branch off into something new), but then gavriel uprooted chrysi from her life in the countryside to act as his heir until he found someone more convenient.
anyway, before chrysi left, she was teaching jacks how to shoot a bow (…varying success. he did shoot it, but it wound up in someone’s foot. the someone in question was a bitch though, so chrysi’s not sure if jacks meant to aim there or not), and now as the crown princess / half-star in preparation for exaltation, she has suitors vying for her hand. a mysterious archer shows up for the whole “seduce the crown princess” thing and fucking fumbles the shot in the archery tournament. yeah. okay. chrysi recognizes her childhood friend + he’s hot now + he’s still so goddamn lame. alright.

@ your post about gold’s resting manslaughter face, I think he just always has unbridled rage building underneath every other emotion he’s feeling that builds up with every inconvenience/morally incorrect thing he encounters in his journey. The slowpoke getting their tails cut off in the well. Getting attacked by bugs every 5 seconds in ilex forest. The ice path. Lake of rage/the shady stuff going on in that shop. Tin Tower/Whirl islands being a goddamn MAZE where I had NO GODDAMN CLUE WHERE I WAS GOING. Clair refusing to give him a badge and then his only consolation is a dragon fang while Kris gets a goddamn dratini. Silver. I bet going through and beating up all the grunts in the radio tower was his stress relief.
gold voice this Thing i have Encountered has either inconvenienced me greatly or made me Deeply Upset on behalf of the people and pokémon being treated horribly. i will compensate for this by looking like i want to kill everyone in my way and then nearly doing so with every team rocket member i meet. lance i'm going to make you proud

I can't with the previous post. It's just so good applied to Levi, Lacie, Oswald and even Jack.
Levi has his hands tied by the Baskerville system that is a sort of scam by the Jurors‚ like every Glen. But he says "let's just create a change" and gives a will to the Core. And he does so with the full intention of changing the narrative, if just to avoid the boredom of spending eternity watching the same thing happen over and over again from a sit in someone else's mind.
Lacie goes along with it because of her desire to ease the Core's loneliness, but in her idea of the children of misfortune being a consequence of this loneliness and her feelings of doubt or reservations, perhaps, revealed even before the tree scene in the scene in which she talks about this with Oswald, we could interpret this as her desire to end the existence of the children of misfortune and thus the cycle.
Jack plays into this in his attempt to take the "real" world to the "Abyss" world, but when he most consciously twists the narrative the Jurors had settled was when he intently made the decision to take the power from the Baskervilles. And I do think it has to do with ending the very system that doomed Lacie and Oswald and he deemed cruel and like torture, but mainly it is so that no one would interfere with him in the future.
Oswald tries to destroy the new narrative Jack has or is creating first by trying to stop him, but later on by trying to stop Levi's schemes before everything happened, resettling the narrative he was controlled and doomed by, serving still as their tool. And then he literally faces the truth, in the most explicitly way no one ever has been told this in that "real" world before, and threatens to kill the instigators of that narrative. And then just renounces, in a lack of action that is him at his most active ("not with a bang but a whimper", how fitting is that?!!!).
Ultimately there is a middle ground but the narrative is changed for good. For better or worse. With uncertain future consequences. But it is changed, and it feels kinder. And as a thank you the source of every narrative, the ink and paper of the narrative, lulls someone who shouldn't have existed but changed the world to sleep by telling him a different story. Because that's it. They're stories, and Oz deserved to go with a kinder one, because the ink and paper of the narrative loves him. And it's so interesting how that works metanarratively too. The author tells the story, but the author tells the reader a story about the stroy telling a softer version of the story, so that the reader too will get it alongside Oz. That works on several levels and it's so so interesting.

i have a post cooking in my brain about how jack’s own reckoning with ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ is a reflection of a the larger theme in the series wherein acts of mercy and grace lead to your own downfall.
