characters confessing their love:
★★★★☆
characters accidentally screaming "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" in the middle of a heated argument:
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
friendship is often expected to be less openly affectionate than romantic relationships so seeing friends casually say things like "love you baby" serves as a reminder that affection doesn't have to be romantic to be meaningful. and its so cute lmao
"he or she" is LEGITIMATELY grammatically inferior to "they"
- breaks up sentence flow
- unneeded contingency
- clunky and annoying when repeated
- forces an unnecessary assumption onto the reader that acts as a cognitive obstacle
As someone who has never dated I think some of you need to become more comfortable with the idea that there’s more to life than the search for romantic love. Why would I waste my free time engaging in multiple meaningless conversations, like actually get a life
