The thing with "Love Like You" (From Steven Universe, for context) its not that its about Pink's love for Blue, or Rose's love for Greg, or Pearl's love for Rose, ite that, it fits every single relationship based in love, in and out of the cartoon.
It always fascinated me how this song fitted every character, every ship, every relationship, and it always resembled me as a song to describe love itself, how to love is to ask "How are you so special, and see me as such too?"
Because its based not only in admiration, but in adoration, in learning how to love yourself as the other does, I dont like the whole "You have to love yourself to someone to love you", I dont think the show intended to give this message, Pink is the message that when loving others truly, you learn to love yourself as others do, she only fighted for her wants when she loved Earth, she only saw the others Gems worth when she saw Garnet, how they can love too.
I dont think you have to love yourself in order to others to love you, you have to learn to love yourself because other people love you too, and you have to see by their eyes how you are, because then you will see how worth of love you are.
Idk this post is a whole mess but i just love this song so much, I always felt this way towards friends and family because of how good I saw them but it was hard to me to do this for me too, the fact you dont love yourself doesnt make you unworthy of someone's else love, simply because it IS hard to love yourself, its not a piece of cake that you'll start abruptly being "Oh im all okay i love myself and everything about me", but its a journey you'll see the worth when learning with others to love you how they do.
My favorite flavour of shipp is the one where both can see themselves in eachother, "yeah we both have problems that are similar but not exactly equal, they maybe even can be oposites in some way", or "yeah we have similar backstories but ended up in different sides/ways"
Some relationship that force the characters to rethink about everything they were taught/believe because they were forced to experience something entirely out of their concept of world, something that can change their views, for better or for worse.
Something that makes them angry, something that makes them so uncomfortable because that another someone existence is triggering the fact they could be different. They could be them in another circumstances.

Yes!!! Queer platonic relashionship aren't a "level up or down" from friendships or romantic relationships, arent "just" a relationship without something more like romance or sex, and its frustrating how a lot of people just cant grip this concept, or TRY to explain while don't knowing anything.
Again, you don't have to understand!! Just respect!!!
I have a major soft spot for queerplatonic rships where at least one party is actually able to be attracted to the other. Queerplatonic ships where it's not "I would be in love with you if I was allo/gay/straight/bi/etc" but instead "I could be in love with you but I'm not because that's not the right relationship for either us and we're unbelievably happy with what we have."
Queerplatonic relationships are always treated as second string to romantic relationships, with an implication of "this relationship would be romantic if it could be", and that sucks. They're their own relationship, completely distinct from romance, and deserve to be treated as such.
Living on a planet where any government is allowed to go through with military action that they know will result in the death of civilians should be gut-wrenchingly painful for all of us. Over 10,000 children have died in Palestine since October 7th, and there is not a single child in Gaza who is not suffering. CHILDREN. INFANTS. I can't stop thinking about all the innocent children we are losing and leaving to suffer every day.
Please use whatever privilege you have to do whatever you can during the Global Strike for Palestine (January 21st - 28th). Contact your representatives. Call for an immediate ceasefire. Boycott, stimulate the economy as minimally as possible, participate in pro-Palestinian protests, educate yourself, and most importantly, amplify the voices of Palestinians.
