Comment on Why are love potions always romantic in nature? Why hasn't anyone made a non-romantic variant?

I mean… romantic love is usually the first type of love that comes to mind when you say the word “love”, but it would be interesting to other types of love represented.
- potion of Broth/sist-erhood
- potion of Filial Love
- potion of Ride or Die
- potion of Make Momma Proud
- potion of Go Get’em, Tiger!
- potion of BFF’s Forever!
- potion of Fanaticism
- potion of Fascination
- potion of Simpage

In Chinese, 父爱 and 母爱 are like one of the top 5 terms that comes to mind when the term 爱 is mentioned.
My parent’s never say the term 爱, instead, they say 錫/惜 (wikitionary definition: to cherish; to adore; to value greatly; to love dearly), which is a supposedly endearing way a parent express love for their children (I think?)
Imagine some parent using a potion of “Must be a A+ student to make parents proud” and like you just get mind-controlled into studying all night and skipping video games lmfao.
Or the reverse, a potion of “Mommy pls love me more”, and the parent spoils the child and buys them anything they ask.
