Can I be honest? I hate that any post where it's purely platonic is labeled aroace. It completely removes the ability for friendship to happen. It gives me the same feeling as people who say that "boys and girls can't be friends". Acting as though deep platonic relationships can only be reached by being aroace removes the importance for everyone to have those deep platonic relationships and it actually encourages the narrative that romance is a must.
Enemies to "I accidentally came across you while you were vulnerable and scared and I'm not a total asshole so I tried to help you" to "accidental mutual uncovering of softer sides and vulnerabilities" to "I can't be mean to you anymore, not out of pity but because it would feel weird betraying that brief truce we had" to "Fine I'll make an effort to be nice to you now I guess" to "actually now that we're not actively hating each other you're not so bad I guess" to "i think we're friends but I'm not going to say that because I'm afraid you're not gonna feel the same way" to "oh you also think we're friends? Great" to lovers
