Headcanon: love uwu

Hakuba is the type to fall quickly for many different types of people. It’s difficult for him to see just what’s going to stick, as there are so many facets of a person that are important, and he’s so very picky. Interest sparks for many, but very few go on to be flames, and fewer still turn into those long-lasting fires. 

For him to fall in love with someone, successfully, it usually has to be a slow burn. Sparks of interest here or there, stringing along until it becomes a flame, but at some point there has to be a transition between Hakuba doing the pursuing (which is how he prefers to start things), to the other person showing equal interest and dedication. 

Trust is built over time. Secrets exchanged. A healthy amount of dirty laundry on the table. Clear the air. Decide that they’re still in it, still willing, still interested. Accept him for who he is. He’ll accept them for who they are. And then it becomes a mutual partnership. Friends, lovers, soulmates. He hopes for marriage. And then sharing his life – all of it – with whomever becomes his mate. 

Ideally, anyway. He’s ridiculously compatible with a lot of people, but rarely gives anyone a fair chance… too busy self-loathing and being defensive to, I guess. Ugh. 

I didn’t fall in love with you.
             I walked into love with you,
with my eyes wide open,
          choosing to take every step along the way.
I do believe in fate and destiny,
               but I also believe we are only f a t e d
to do the things that we’d choose anyway.
               And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes,
in a hundred worlds,
                    in any v e r s i o n of r e a l i t y,
I’d find you and I’d choose you.”

in a healthy, close relationship of any kind, when something upsets you, you need to bring it up. as soon as possible, even. cultivate an environment in which you both can talk about things that upset you, with the utmost attention to everyone’s feelings. it’s a really simple thing to do but it’s a thing i’ve been working on for a while and i’m getting actual nice things happening as a result

In our culture, many of us idealize love. We see it as some lofty cure-all for all of life’s problems. Our movies and our stories and our history all celebrate it as life’s ultimate goal, the final solution for all of our pain and struggle. And because we idealize love, we overestimate it. As a result, our relationships pay a price.

When we believe that “all we need is love,” then like Lennon, we’re more likely to ignore fundamental values such as respect, humility and commitment towards the people we care about. After all, if love solves everything, then why bother with all the other stuff — all of the hard stuff?

But if, like Reznor, we believe that “love is not enough,” then we understand that healthy relationships require more than pure emotion or lofty passions. We understand that there are things more important in our lives and our relationships than simply being in love. And the success of our relationships hinges on these deeper and more important values.
