In a world with hanahaki. It would be???? Treated like it's a problem that you need to come to a therapist with. Like? It's possible?? To get over someone??? If you're in love with them??? In any case you can distance yourself. Like if the symptoms start showing?? Like if you have hanahaki and do nothing about it you are just not. Coping? It would be wildly romanticized for sure like WILDLY but it would generally be acknowledged by adults at least that dying from unrequited love is not.... Uhhh... Not. Go see a therapist don't mope and romanticize a literal disease that is killing you.
#I mean maybe I underestimate the degree to which it would be romanticized#Probably#It would have an impact on art and literature#Obviously#Every poet would be speculated to have had hanahaki at some point#Especially if it would have been a rare disease? Idk idk#Anyway.#Hanahaki#????#Honestly now that I'm thinking about it#Wouldn't it complicate the question of euthanasia?#From a medical point of view it's such a cross between a mental illness and a physical one#But on the other hand. Not many countries actually allow active euthanasia?#And from that point of view it wouldn't really matter. Like if a person gets hospitalized they are treated for the physical condition they#have#And the mental health of the patient would not be a consern of their doctor tbh?#Also the amount of teenagers pretending to have hanahaki#WAIT. would having hanahaki and allowing it to worsen be considered self-harm?#Of course I am thinking of this in terms of what I know#But actually#Based on how common and prominent hanahaki would be the culture and morality that would form around it would be different from ours#That's not even getting into what would happen if there was a genetic predisposition to it#Or CULTURAL predisposition#Wait#Would it have been considered at some point in history in some cultures like an honor?#BUT WAIT. WHAT IFFFF HANAHAKI WAS DYING FROM ANY KIND OF UNREQUITED LOVE#Not just romantic#THAT WOULD FORM AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SITUATION WITH CHILD-CARE#And fuck. Like. What about.... National pride??? Or something. Like#Emotions that are close to love in some way
