#the fact ive been seeing more platonic hanahaki has been so fun too!

[sunnidewdrops]

i think hanahaki is just such a cool concept because of how its base values can be interpreted! “flowers grow in your lungs with unrequited love”. does it matter how long you’ve loved that person? how serious does the love need to be? can obsession get you hanahaki? what about passion? platonic love? can you get hanahaki from family? friends? celebrities? how personal does it need to be? if you think it is love, but its actually some other emotion, does that count? i also personally subscribe to the concept of being able to remove hanahaki via surgery, on the expense of your capacity for love.. what about “unrequited love”? does it genuinely need to be unrequited, or does the person who gets it have to THINK its unrequited? are there other ways to rid of hanahaki? ive seen a few aus about how confessing can get rid of it, or maybe having your heartbroken? theres so many different ways to spin it, ways to write it, draw it, create from it! it also allows for people to utilize follow languages so beautifully in writing, something about it is just so nice
