Listennn I have stayed quiet about my love for Landoscar (re-blogging, tagging, but never posting) however this video, this moment right here put me in a damn chokehold. Look at the way Oscar's eyes drift over Lando's features, taking in his smile, his voice, whatever else has drawn him into the moment. He took the time to pause while they were filming to quietly observe Lando because he was able to drink that man in uninhibited, even though they put the camera on him (he knew they would, even if briefly, and it didn't stop him).
Oscar knows that Lando cares a great deal about the thoughts and opinions of others, and how it affects the way he perceives himself. He must have been thrilled to witness a moment where Lando was able to enjoy the praise of his fans, of children who admire him (as much as Oscar does) with such a pure, joyful, yet bashful smile on his face.
It warmed Oscar's heart that those young fans could see what he sees: kindness. And he had to make sure that Lando knew he felt the same.
Their relationship is so important. In a world soaked in competitiveness, a drive to win, they've softened those edges with something profound and meaningful.
They're slowly (quickly?) manifesting the "we get to grow old together" narrative.
