This isn’t a thing I say often, but hanahaki fans seem young to me. I figure you fall out of love with the trope when you stop feeling like you’re gonna die because your classmate doesn’t love you.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, being a metaphor for the regular-ass emotional agony of unrequited love is sort of the core of the trope. "Oh, I'd better confess because if I don't I'll die" may be logical, but it kills the emotional weight.

There's a Witcher fic where hanahaki is a curse placed on a village by a witch and the first part of the fic is essentially how that tore the village apart. Spouses who had affairs and then left their families to be with their lovers so they wouldn't die, people who confessed their love dying anyway because their feelings weren't returned, and the psychological trauma of growing up in an environment where being in love can literally kill you.

Eh, I'm 33 and I like the trope in and of itself. It just has to make sense for the characters.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm in my 30s and I still love fic where my OTP is in big stupid teenage-y love with each other.

I don't like hanahaki though, but for other reasons (I just find it squicky) (I think it's a trypophobia thing).

I feel you. I'm 36 and my OTP being obsessed with each other to a degree that would be unhealthy IRL is a goddamn prerequisite/i> for me. When it comes to real life, having stability and balance in relationships is important and good. But when it comes to fiction, do not give me moderation, I don't want it! I want these two idiots to be so down bad they can't think straight.

I prefer when they act like adults in the other aspects of their life, though, I will say that. Like, they pull up their socks and do what they gotta do, because that's just how it is. But on the inside they are holding it together with a white knuckled grip.

just when i'd started thinking my fucking-up-the-html days were over. :/
