Sooo Stockholm Syndrome Has No Actual Psychological Basis And It's Just A Myth Used To Discredit Victims
sooo Stockholm Syndrome has no actual psychological basis and it's just a myth used to discredit victims (usually women)?

Well...
1. Before I was born the doctors told my parents I was a boy because I was a big baby and somehow they saw a penis(? idk so... surprise I´m a girl.
2. In my junior year in high school people always confused me as a senior because I´m tall and I look like this since I was like 13yo.
3. I have low self-esteem and at the same time a big ego, because I can be a piece of trash BUT I am the best fucking piece of trash you would ever see. That´s the reason why I usually don´t talk too much, but when I do nobody can stop me.
Not me crying
Solar Enjoying The View Of Moonbyul 😏😏
Since we’re talking about cartoon lesbians...
Let’s talk about Ever After High, and how it completely re-wrote the narrative of compulsory heteronormativity in maybe the coolest way possible.
Let’s Begin:
Ever After High, although popular, is slightly less mainstream than say Barbie or it’s sister cartoon Monster High, so let’s get a rundown shall we?
The show follows the children of famous fairytale characters, who are split into two factions, the royals and the rebels. The two main characters are Apple White (daughter of Snow White) and Raven Queen (daughter of the evil queen). Raven is having second thoughts about her destiny as teh next big bad, but Apple wants her happily ever after, so she conspires for the two of them to be roommates (oh my god they were roommates) to try to convince her friend to ‘follow her destiny’
Spoiler Alert: Raven doesn’t, and the status quo is broken. The rebel’s realise that maybe they could have happy ending’s too, and the Royals are scared of losing theirs.
We could talk about how the show breaks down privilege and explores deeper societal issues through this narrative, but let’s instead focus on Raven and Apple for now.
Over time, the two develop a real friendship, and Apple becomes less concerned with her own happy ending and more with the safety of her friends, specifically Raven. In addition to this, Apple’s relationship with her boyfriend Daring Charming is tenous at best. They show no real chemistry, she often finds herself exasperated with his vanity, and he even shows interest in other students. Meanwhile, Apple spends more and more time with Raven. As such, many viewers thought that maybe Apple had a thing for her roommate, and I agreed.
BUT, Raven has her own love interest, Dexter, the youngest Charming brother, and their relationship is actually well-built and really sweet. So, Apple’s crush is unrequited, (although many people still thought rapple would be cute, myself included)
Then, we met Darling Charming, Derek’s twin.
Although born a royal, she joins the rebels, since she doesn’t (to her knowledge) have a fixed fairytale, and she wants to be savior like Daring. She takes on the role of the white knight, initially disguised as a guy, but eventually revealing herself to the protagonists.
So, that’s one heteronormative stereotype broken, which was cool enough on it’s own, right? She get’s to be her own Prince Charming, what more could happen?
THEN DRAGON GAMES HAPPENED IS WHAT
If you haven’t seen it, it’s on netflix (and most of the series is available on youtube) but tl;dr Apple accidentally frees the Evil Queen from her prison, they have a big fight with dragon’s, Raven and Apple works as a team, blah blah blah, good times all around.
But something really interestng happens in between.
Apple gets cursed by the Evil Queen, meaning that she falls into an apple induced coma right? Well, Daring comes riding up, ready to kiss the girl, save the day, all that jazz.
Except, it doesn’t work. His ‘true love’s kiss’ fails to save Apple, and so it seems like she’s dead. So Raven and gang throw her a funeral, everyone’s sad, but Apple starts to choke in her sleep, and Darling (cause she’s a REBEL) runs forward to perform CPR and guess fucking what.
that’s right, she brings Apple back to life. WITH TRUE LOVE’S KISS.
Now lil old baby me didn’t really understand teh ramifications of this, but effectively, Apple is now in the Happily Ever After part of her story now, not with Daring, but with Darling, her true love and Princess Charming, WHICH IS FUCKING AMAZING???? like i watched this show growing up, and now there’s the implication of a same sex couple??? And, an extra note, this particular chapter of EAH came out before Disney and Co. jumped on the ‘it’s ok to be gay’ bandwagon, this was the first time I had ever seen a canon wlw pairing in my smol child life!
The series is still ongoing, so we don’t know FOR SURE, if Apple/Darling will be canon, but idk y’all… that is PRETTY gay.
Which is amazing??? I mean, while Disney is fooling around, releasing a new ‘first gay character’ every other week, we have a pretty much canon wlw couple, whose narrative arc would really come full circle in a satisfying way with the ship, and idk about y’all but I think that’s amazing! I mean, they had the perfect set-up for a Prince Charming + Perfect Princess endgame here, heck, we even had a backup Prince Charming who was a huge dork, and could effectivey ‘subvert expectations’ BUT INSTED THEY GAVE US THIS??? WE HAVE TO STAN!
IN CONCLUSION: pls watch Ever After High, because in this house we stan Darling Charming
MEGARA - Truco O Trato (VIDEO OFICIAL)
Loving my new favourite Spanish rok band 8)
Say it louder for the people in the back Blobby 😊💖
Ultimate Yuri Anime List (ver. 1.0)
I will try to update it when I find something worth mentioning.
Very Yuri:
Pretty much self explanatory - shows that either shove gay in your face or make it impossible to claim it isn’t gay.
Adachi and Shimamura (Adachi to Shimamura)
It’s coming later this year (October 2020 if I’m not mistaken), so you gonna have to wait for it a bit. I decided to include it anyway, cause I want more people to know about it ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Sweet Blue Flowers (Aoi Hana)
I’m not a big fan of it (be it anime or manga), but many people liked it, so give it a shot.
Bloom Into You (Yagate Kimi Ni Naru)
(*￣3￣)╭ ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ
Blue Drop
This thing… oh, Gods, this thing… It’s overall a good anime, but you’re not gonna like the ending.
Citrus
Don’t overthink this. Just go with the flow. Wish it had more seasons, tho, cause manga gets way better later. There’s still hope, I guess.
Flip Flappers
Amazing show, but be wary of this one episode that will scare the living hell out of you.
Fragtime
The movie came out this year, I think. Personally I liked manga better.
Destiny of the Shrine Maiden (Kannazuki no Miko)
It’s considered classic among your fans, but being honest with you I goddamn hated it. That one guy getting in the way was infuriating.
Kase-san and Morning Glories (Asagao to Kase-san)
Why suffer with Annoying Dude Getting In The Way Of OTP, when you can watch Kase-san instead? It’s everything you need from yuri anime. It’s fluffy, warm and just *chef’s kiss* (ᵔᴥᵔ)
Liz and the Blue Bird (Liz to Aoi Tori)
I love this movie. I’m in love with it’s visuals, music, story, everything. Would recommend having tissue box somewhere near.
Maria+Holic
You shouldn’t watch this unless you’re thick-skinned asshole who’s really hard to offend (like me), cause you will definitely not enjoy this. It’s this coarse satire that should be watched without doing much thinking. Has some great OP/ED songs.
Miss Kobayashi Dragon Maid (Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon)
This would be awesome IF ONLY some plot points didn’t exist. You should give it a try, cause main couple has really great domestic lesbians theme going on, BUT there’re some problematic things. So just lets pretend that some things in this show never happened. Yeah.
Netsuzou Trap -NTR-
Seen the show, read manga and with every second watched and every page red I kept asking myself why the fuck am I doing this to myself. It’s like “everything wrong with yuri in anime/manga” in one title.
Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Adolescence of Utena (Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Adolescence Mokushiroku)
Will turn your brain into pudding when you try to figure out wtf is going on. And where those cars come from. And why is there a car wash… But unlike it’s predecessor (show Utena) it doesn’t fuck around and straight up gives you The Gay.
Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne (Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi)
Gore. Long episodes - 45min each. Dark. Still have to finish this, so I can’t tell you more for now.
Sakura Trick
They kiss a lot. A Lot.
Whispered Words (Sasameki Koto)
It’s fun to watch, but sadly ends right before the story really kicks in. Manga is better, but it’s still worth to watch, preferably before reading manga.
Izetta: The Last Witch (Shuumatsu no Izetta)
Very gay gals flying on huge guns.
Strawberry Panic!
It’s a classic. It’s this bunch of overly dramatic lesbians locked together in a catholic school. If you grew up on telenovelas like me, you gonna love it.
Love To-LIE-Angle (Tachibanakan Triangle)
Episodes that last about 3 min and make it nearly impossible to see anything. But it’s very ecchi. And very gay. There’s also a manga.
Yuri Kuma Arashi
Some people hate it, some people love it. I’m the latter. It’s very abstract, but I really enjoyed it. You gonna like it if you liked Utena.
YuruYuri
（╯°□°）╯TOSHINO KYOKO!!!! First 2 seasons are comedic gold, then it’s less funny since other studio has taken over, but it’s still funny show to watch when you have a bad day.
Schrodinger Yuri:
Couples/characters who are kinda vague about being gay, but there’s high chance they are (or are confirmed elsewhere).
El Cazador de la Bruja
taco,taco, taco-su oiishi taco-su iketeru taco-su a Ami-igo ta-co-su ♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Aside from that goddamn song that will imprint itself on your brain for eternity, this show has one of the healthiest yuri couple in whole anime world.
If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Oshi ga Budoukan Ittekuretara Shinu)
Silly show with dramatic lesbian screaming about her love for a girl from Idol group. Because of some plot point I’m not really sure if it’s the romantic kind of love, however.
Konohana Kitan
This is one of my favorite shows out there. There’s a lot of myths and folklore stories and I, for one, love it.
Maria Watches over Us (Maria-sama ga Miteru)
Listen, this is classic. It has all that all-girls catholic school where apparently everyone is gay for their senpais. No kisses or anything (some lewd h*nd h*lding at most), but it was 2004 and some of you weren’t ever born yet. Gays had it harder back then. Still it’s borderline impossible not to see them as a very lesbian lesbians.
Mikagura School Suite (Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku)
This show is.. fine. It’s okay. You gonna watch it and forget about it the same day.
Ms. vampire who lives in my neighborhood (Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san)
Cute show about a school girl and vampire girl living together. it’s just fun to watch.
New Game!
This thing is borderline “will queerbait you into oblivion”, but there’re some things that I find difficult to dismiss as just platonic gals beint absolutely not in love pals. Also I wish there was some all-women game dev company, I’d sell my soul to work there.
Princess Principal
Steampunk lesbians! YEAH!
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Magical Girl: Prepare to Cry Edition. This is a must-watch, but prepare yourself for existential crisis and crying your eyeballs out. Homura is the best!
Revolutionary Girl Utena (Shoujo Kakumei Utena)
Less mindfucky than Adolescence Mokushiroku, but at the same time, they are more shy with Utena and Anthy being in love with each other. A lot of sword fighting, BADASS sword fighting.
Sabagebu!
This is so dumb that it stops being dumb and become funny instead. Not much of yuri action, but you have girls with guns, so I know at least some of you will be interested ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Saki
Mahjong Lesbians
Violet Evergarden Side Story: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll (Violet Evergarden Gaiden: Eien to Jidou Shuki Ningyou)
Being able to put Violet Evergarden movie on a goddamn YURI list is like a dream. There’s no real gay couple or anything, but Violet goes to all-girls school and makes everyone question their sexuality. In the book it’s confirmed that Isabella is in love with Violet, so it’s the only reason it’s not on the “will queerbait you into oblivion list”. Nevertheless, first half is so fucking gay that I have no words to describe it. The other half is your typical “I can’t see cause I’m crying” Violet Evergarden.
Will queerbait you into oblivion:
Supergirl/Once Upon a Time of anime…
Amanchu!
The level of queerbait this show pulled should be illegal.
Sound! Euphonium (Hibike! Euphonium)
Do I even have to say anything?
