Adding to this, you should also be able to send flowers and candies and gifts to the people you love platonically without having people questioning your about it. Yes, I just gifted my best friend a bouquet of flowers. No, this does not mean I love them romantically.
‘You should only send hearts to ppl you’re romantically involved with’
WRONG! BOUNDLESS PLATONIC LOVE, WARMTH, AND ENTHUSIASM BE UPON YE!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Based on my HC from… literally half a day ago blasting 600 strikes on repeat can do wonders apparently
I lowkey kinda hate Endeavor's repentance arc. Not because I don't want to see an abusive character get better, I actually think it's incredibly important to show that people like this are capable of change but that does not inherently mean that you have to forgive them, I hate it because this shouldn't have been the wake-up call.
The wake-up call to all the damage he'd done shouldn't have been when he got what he wanted and realized that it isn't as fulfilling as he thought it be, leading to him reflecting on everything he's done to get there. No, it should've been when his eldest son "died" due to his ambition. He should've figured out just how much damage he was doing when Touya burned himself alive just to become his "perfect progeny" so that he could be "loved" by Endeavor again (he thought Touya was what he was looking for until he actually devolved his quirk and the drawback was discovered). The accident wouldn't have even happened if Endeavor had bothered to properly teach him how to turn off the fire!
To add another layer of how much Endeavor not bothering to reflect on what he's done after Touya's "death", Touya would've likely come back. It's revealed that Touya visited the Todoroki house to see how things had changed after his death, and what made him decided to continue on the war path and become Dabi was that everything was still the same. The only difference is that there was now an altar to morn him, everything else remained the same. If Touya had seen that things had changed after his death, that Endeavor worked to become better because of the tragedy, then maybe he would've stayed. Maybe he would've revealed he was alive and they could've been a family again. Don't know if they could ever be a "happy" or "healthy" family, considering everything around Endeavor and Rei getting married and the nature of Shoto's birth, but they most certainly could've been a family. One that would've stayed together, one with their mother not in a mental hospital, one that could maybe one day become proud to say that Endeavor was their father instead of refusing to his fire out of a strong desire to never be like him. But nope! Endeavor only realized how destructive he was to his own family when his youngest was 16 and "2"/4 of his children were adults (1/4 is "dead" and 1/4 is still a minor), far too late to undo any of the damage he's done. Too little, too late.
