I think my favorite genre of headcanons (specifically in the arcane fandom) are older people acting their age.

You give Sevika or Ambessa a phone and them being in the 40's-50's age range, they would most definitely hold it too far from their face, squint, and use their index finger to scroll to whatever videos or images they want to see next. Oh, and they don't consider volume to be an issue either. No headphones. No turning it down. You can't walk down the hall without hearing whatever obscure video they're watching.

Ambessa being a black mom would 100% be one of those to see a kid without socks or a coat on in reasonably calm weather - it's just hit 50 or 60 degrees outside in fall (10-15 Celsius) and her brows would knit together in frustration as she mumbles something along the lines of; "Where is that child's coat?"

Both of their Facebook profile photos would be some variation of the awkward mom/aunt angles where they're holding the camera too low so that they're looking down at it with the faintest hint of a smile (not Sevika though, I fear that lady is not about to smile on Facebook. Hell she doesn't post on social media at all, she just has it to occasionally be nosy)

Both Sevika and Silco need reading glasses. Neither of them wears them when they need to. But when they do the moment they're called on by someone or trying to read something they'll do that thing where they tilt their head down and look over the rims as if that'll somehow make seeing whoever/whatever they're trying to look at easier to see.

Like all the sexy headcanons are fun and all, but I do need more of these. I crave it like water.

sambucky scene transcript!

----

On Sam, looking at Torres in the hospital, hearing footsteps come up behind him.

Sam: "It's a private room. Go away."

Bucky comes into view beside Sam.

Bucky: "Missed you too."

They look at each other. Bucky a soft smile. Sam looks away, a smile tugging the corner of his mouth.

Sam: "I hate to admit it...I'm glad you're here."

Sam looks back to Bucky and they both go in for a hug, Bucky closing his eyes in it. They part, stood side-by-side again.

Bucky: "You looked good out there on that 6 o'clock."

Sam shakes his head a bashful smile. Then sombre again.

Bucky: "But then I saw this."

Sam: "Doctors had to restart his heart. They don't know if..."

Sam closes his eyes.

Bucky: "This isn't your fault."

Sam: "It makes me think of Steve. How many alien invasions did he stop, again?"

Bucky: "Two."

Sam: "Two. Wow. What made me think I could follow that. I should have took the serum. Like Steve. Like you."

Bucky looking at Sam.

Bucky: "Why?"

Sam: "Because this is all starting to seem much bigger than me."

Sam turns to fully face Bucky.

Sam: "Ross, he asked me to restart the Avengers, Buck. But Joaquin's in here. Isaiah's in prison. And Sterns...I had him. I had Sterns. Right in my hands. And he got away. He damn near pushed us to the brink of war, because I wasn't—"

Sam emotionally cuts himself off.

Bucky: "Say what you need to say."

Sam looks down, then back to Bucky.

Sam: "Steve made a mistake."

Bucky: "No he didn't. He gave you that shield, not because you're the strongest, but because you're you. You think if you had that serum, you'd be able to protect all the people you care about. Steve had it, and he couldn't. You're a human being and you're doing your best. Steve gave people something to believe in, but you...you give them something to aspire to."

Sam squints at Bucky.

Sam: "Did your speech writers help you with that?"

Bucky: "They did, yeah, the ending, a little bit. Well, did you like it? Was it—?"

Sam: "No no, it was good. Solid...B plus."

Bucky: "Yeah. Emotional."

Sam: "Very. I felt it."

Bucky: "But just enough."

Sam: "Yeah."

Bucky: "Listen, I've gotta...catch a plane. I have a campaign fundraiser. It's so stupid."

They look over Torres, smiling. Bucky looks at Sam.

Bucky: "He's gonna be all right, man."

Sam looks at Bucky, shakes Bucky's hand.

Sam: "Thanks, Buck."

Bucky: "I love you, buddy."

Bucky claps Sam's arm and leaves; Sam nods, looking after him.
