I KNOW HAND HOLDING ISN'T STRICTLY ROMANTIC NECESSARILY
Platonic, 0 romance, 0 sexual tension besties can hold hands
I hold hands with my platonic, 0 romance, 0 sexual tension besties all the time
BUT IT FEELS DIFFERENT
Friends who are just friends hold hands casually like it's nothing special. Nobody drives attention to it, it's normal and natural
But when you hold hands romantically, it feels different. The show communicates that pretty well
Luz and Willow hold hands, Gus and Willow hold hands, Amity and Willow hold hands. And they're all friends
But they do it casually, like it's normal and not important, like it's not anything special or out of the ordinary. And the show doesn't drive any attention to it, either. It's not special because it's not framed like that
No close up, no music, no special attention
The Huntlow hand hold is romantic BECAUSE THE SHOW TREATS IT LIKE IT'S ROMANTIC
There's a close up, there's music, there's romantic lightning, the camera holds on just them for several seconds. It's given special attention, like it's something important, out of the ordinary
That's how I know it's romantic. Because the show treats it like that
