ARTHUR'S THOUGHTS ON BB!DIANA: I think it's honestly impossible for him to dislike any version of her that isn't like. Radically not Diana. And since younger Diana still just feels like Diana, he's pretty much accepted her presence totally and still considers her one of his closest friends and one of the few Leaguers, on the turtle at least, that he actually likes. He just sort of... tolerates... some of them, but he feels like he and Diana actually understand each other better because neither of them are really from the human world and neither of them deal with the same kind of 'dual identity' that like Bruce/Batman and Clark/Superman have. They're just Arthur and Diana who are Aquaman and Wonder Woman, but they're both between two worlds and two peoples and determined to protect both. It... also helps that he has a huge silly schoolboy crush on DCU Diana... but not much of that really carried over to littler Diana. xD It would seem wrong since he's much farther along in his life and she's more like when they first met as teenagers. Basically, she's not his Diana, but she's still very Diana, and he still loves her as a friend and trusts her probably more than he trusts anyone else from home besides Kaldur and his wife.

BUCKY'S THOUGHTS ON MAGIC: He can't really deny that it exists, but he's kind of mistrustful of it in general. The magical and supernatural world is pretty scary and new since it's Marvel 1945 for him and he's right at the threshold peering into it as one of the first, so to speak. He also doesn't really like things he doesn't understand and can't readily fight because lol they don't teach you how to maul wizards in the Army, but he can warm up to it when it's performed by someone he's not immediately distrustful of. Like he was pretty impressed and grateful when Traci took care of his broken ribs, but he already liked her, otherwise he probably wouldn't have let her near him :'D
