things we can do to make people potentially very happy

bake them cookies!! in their preferred flavour

stick little notes of love into their jacket pockets

put on a mix of their favourite songs when you hang out with them

check up on them during their day!! sounds cliche and overused but i promise its actually something that i love receiving from my friends

suggest hanging out together <3

send them funny videos / tiktoks that you think they’d like

“hey this reminded me of you” [post attached]

“hey i know you’re having a hard time rn but i’m here for you okay” [happy gif attached]

make them their favourite drink as a pick-me-up

surprise them with morning coffee before class!!

get to know their drink order :) surprising them with their fav drink is an awesome mood booster

hype them up on their instagram posts!!!

spill about your day / tea then ask about them (the other way around works too! but be tactful :3)

ask them if they need comfort or advice when they’re upset — this exterminates unwanted advice/comfort

“hey i’ll wait for you after class”

“how was your day?”

“reminder that i love u and i hope you have a better day tomorrow”

“coffee on me?”

write them little happydappy reminder letters!!!

my favorite overplayed romantic gesture is queer character A going in for a kiss, pulling away in doubt or in fear or in lost, then queer character B returning the kiss in confirmation, in assurance, in a silent confession of the love being mutual, then either of them deepening the kiss with passion, with the desire to break free from whatever was expected out of them, with the unexplainable sense of joy and relief that after all those moments of pining they finally get to express it somehow
