Guest Janette Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I like lovecore. Red and pink are my favorite colors, my favorite flowers are roses (specifically red ones) heart shaped accessories are the cutest to me and boxes of chocolate are so good! Reading old love letters and love poems are sweet too. But I hate the fact that lovecore is associated with the concept of romance and romantic intentions in general, that’s when it gets gross to me. I have no problems with romance or romantic couples (alloromantic friends and allies are cool) and if I were to receive notes that have compliments and flowers, I’d like it to be platonic only. If I were to go out to dinner or dancing it’d be with a friend and we only remain friends. If there were any romantic intentions behind those gifts that’s when I’ll be repulsed. Platonic hugs and cheek kisses to me are nice, but if it were romantic that’s when I’d be disgusted. I just hate the fact that lovecore is associated with romance and “couples only.” I don’t like romance in real life. I only like it in my movies and playing them in dating sim games. Why should hearts, roses and chocolates be “romantic?” Why should candlelit dinners with hugs and kisses be “romantic?” Why can’t nice gestures just be gestures unless said otherwise? Context, intent and attractions matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Native Manitou Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 When I was a child my favorite pillow was a small heart-shaped one. However, over the years there have been times I shied away from such imagery because certain people get the wrong idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gray Warlock Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I'm a sucker for 80s ballads. "Can't Live Without Your Love" by Nelson is my favorite. Don't tell anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilse Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I'm a huge fan of lovecore/weddingcore, it's such a shame real romance is nowhere near these aesthetics 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
