I want to see characters being taken care of in an explicit and worshipful way. Home-cooked meals. Hair brushed and braided by gentle hands. Little gifts just because.
I want to read about characters who are not used to kindness being bombarded by acts of service. This trope works romantically and platonically. Give me found family and acts of service - all the ways a character is wrapped up in wordless, explicit care after years of cruelty and having no idea how to handle. I need it.

staring at someone from the corner of your eyes
and quickly turning away when they return your gaze
scented candles
matching necklace and rings
random “this made me think about you”s
“uh, so i find *your favourite character* very neat…tell me more about them?”
getting your lover a flowerpot
and when they ask laughing, “why are so extra? you could have just brought a flower”
you gently reply, “i want our love to grow and blossom, not to be a temporary pleasure, beloved.”
subconsciously linking little fingers
gentle reminders about how much they love you
long letters that talk about every silly to deep topics
interest exchange <3
saving their name as “my beloved <3″
soft stares and silly grins
nuzzling your sleepy head into their chest
playing with their hair

Holding up snarky signs doesn't seem to be working.
For me, it isn't about whether this action is appropriate or not. It's about how this kind of action is inevitable.
I'm going to let Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. explain in a quote no one seems to post during his annual holiday.
"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?"
If you only speak up about a supercharger catching fire and ignore the unheard, you are prioritizing a thing over people.
