#but it is true that they're occasionally misused so I can see. maybe some people just aren't

this got me looking at my ISAT fics and some I have tagged with the platonic relationships in them and others I have not and for me it just literally comes down to "do I think there's a strong emphasis on the relationship compared to canon because I don't want to make people think I'm doing a deep look at the friendship if it's just canon-typical interaction". One's ongoing and should gain "Siffrin & Everyone" if it keeps going, another's already tagged that, one's got Odile & Isabeau, but, yeah, some of mine just don't have any relationship tagged because none of them particularly stand out to me mentally contrasted to canon, but that's also the kind of judgment call I can see people disagreeing on.

Why do I keep seeing fics on ao3 without any relationships tagged, even ones that r specifically abt like. A friend group or whatever. Do ppl assume it's for romantic relationships only or smth and so don't tag anything
