I'm actually hollering so like with the new tumblr update tmblr marked you as like an nsfw blog or some shit. So now I only see a pixelated version of your icon even tho I didn't block you or anything. Smh. I hate these nasty updates
I’ve been a nsfw blog since the beginning, I intentionally flagged myself that way to keep younglings away.
Examples of Stockholm Syndrome in Disney
Frollo and Quasimodo
Mother Gothel and Rapunzel
Frollo and Mother Gothel convince Quasimodo and Rapunzel that their lives are dependent on them. The two villains claim the outside world is a terrible place even though they know this is not true. They also constantly emotionally abuse their victims by implying their worthlessness and destroying their self-esteems. Quasimodo and Rapunzel sympathize with their captors and even believe their captors are protecting them and treating them with kindness. However, both captors are merely using and manipulating their victims for their own selfish purposes.
NOT:
The Beast and Belle
Belle does not sympathize with the Beast when she is treated poorly. She becomes angry and leaves the castle, only returning by her own wish so that the Beast (who saves her) does not freeze to death. She does not respond nicely towards the Beast until he treats her with respect. In this situation, Belle has control and is not manipulated into feeling for the Beast, nor does the Beast treat her disrespectfully after the first night. While the Beast does have an underlying motive as to keeping Belle in his castle, he abandons this idea and sets her free to make her happy. If anything, this story is a case of Lima Syndrome where the captor starts to sympathize with the victim.
Check out this post which refocuses the purpose of Beauty and the Beast from merely (and wrongly) being about Stockholm Syndrome to it’s original purpose.
FUCKING FINALLY
I don’t usually reblog stuff like this, but Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie and I’d like to have this on my page!
this is actually a very good analysis. I take back all the times I’ve called Beauty and the Beast a ‘stockholm syndrome’ romance.
honestly, I think it’s a lot more funny than it actually is
The Evolution of a Meme

When you laugh at a dumb meme and someone who’s not an internet person asks whats so funny, but it’s like a tier 3 meme and you’ve gotta explain about seven years of internet for them to understand the nuances

Text from stepmom “watch out for foxes, cranes, raccoons, and snakes. They’ll eat the eggs so chase them off”
I’m gonna fistfight nature
@mrswinterbarnes you’re not wrong. When I came back from closing the barn doors she was gone. Nowhere in sight. I thought turtles were supposed to be slow
I was gone maybe ten minutes so first off, not even a goodbye??
I don’t think Box turtles return to their nest either, so until they hatch and dig out

@copperbadge, I feel like there’s a story about Steve promoting safe sex in this…
Oh but see now I’m picturing a whole series of cheesy Avengers safe sex PSAs.
Tony: I may be a playboy, but I know when to wear armor.
Natasha: There’s a time and place for stealth. The bedroom isn’t it. (Alternately: “Safety is easy. If he won’t wear a condom, kill him.”)
Clint: Protection is important, on and off the range.
Thor: It’s what a god would do.
Bruce: Do it for science. Wear it for safety.
Sam: Your best wingman is the one in your pocket.
THESE. Great.
#James: just wear the fucking condom
(Alternate:)
OH MY GOD I NEVER SAW THESE AND THEY ARE AMAZING
THANK YOU FOR FULFILLING THIS DREAM :D
Shout out to writers...
getting pulled away from their writing because of responsibilities re: work, family, school;
dealing with illness (their own or a loved one’s);
keeping their writing a secret because of unsupportive or insensitive people in their lives.
Every moment you’re able to write one more word, one more sentence, is worthwhile. Thank you for pushing on.
A hand full of noodles later and we got ourselves a spaghetti!
Dang, pasta sounds pretty good right now! Let’s get some!
Spaghetti, you said?
…maybe we should just have a sandwich.

i’ve never seen mountains. but i live on and island and i lose my mind when people tell me they’ve never seen the ocean. the ocean. some people have never seen the ocean before.
What really gets me is that some people have never seen either.

Can we as millennials and gen-z’s collectively agree that NObody Cares about elbows on the table like Why was that Ever A Problem for Anyone?? We can chill right?
nobody asked for this but the origin of not putting one’s elbows on the table comes from the late 18th/early 19th century when wooden ships were still used in the navy- sailors would balance their plates between their elbows while eating to keep them from sliding around. because sailors developed a reputation on-land for being uncouth and aggressive, the placing of elbows on the table became associated with such behaviour.
some cultural historians believe it also goes back further, to the middle ages, when large banquet-style meals were served on trestle tables that had no side support. if someone put their elbows on the table, they risked bringing the whole table down with them.
so basically, there is no longer any need to NOT put elbows on the table, and there hasn’t been since the advent of steamships.
I love this because now i can smartass the next person who tries to give me shit for it
” Sophie , you’re beautiful! “
#no but like #you don’t understand how important and meaningful sophie’s arc in this movie is #she starts out hating herself because she believes herself to be ugly and dumb#then she’s turned into an old hag and promptly loses most of her insecurities because she no longer has to care about being beautiful #then we find out the curse weakens whenever she is being strong and it shows her real self underneath #which means the curse is mostly self-inflicted and not done by the witch of the waste #sophie curses herself because it is easier for her #but because she starts to see that she is important to people and others love her #she grows out of it and finally is able to stand up for others #and break her own curse #and get some fucking shit done #sophie is my hero and my gpoy always
In the book, Sophie possess a certain kind of magical power - she makes things real by saying them. She can lay spells just by saying them. When she made hats, and she told a hat that it would make a rich young man fall in love with it, a rich young man fell in love with the woman who bought it. When she told a hat it would make some woman look beautiful, everyone knew the mayor’s wife looked positively radiant in it. It’s what drew the Witch to her hat shop in the first place. When she cursed out a bucket of plant food, it turned to potent weed killer. When she told herself she might as well be an old woman, when she told herself she was doomed to fail, when she told herself she was plain and boring and no one would ever notice her, no one did.
When Howl tried to break the spell on Sophie, and he tried many times, he always failed. Not because his magic was less powerful than the Witch’s, but because it was less powerful than Sophie’s.
My heart is aching
