Real talk, Bulbasaur would be the best pet ever if it was real, let me list you some reasons of why:

  • Sleep Powder when you can’t sleep
  • Sweet Scent when you are tired or anxious
  • Vines to reach far things or lift stuff or swing like Spiderman
  • Razor Leaf to cut things or gardening
  • Solar Beam would be like a WMD threat to your enemies
  • Bulbasaur can take care of other animals
  • Doesn’t need food as long there’s sun, so you don’t worry about him.
  • Nature control
  • Rules over other creatures like a real dinosaur
  • It never dies of hunger and its speed doubles under the sun, so you got a scary plant dinosaur in day time
  • Won’t flood your home and mess stuff or burn it down, it’s calm and smart.
  • evolves to a badass beast
  • He’s too freaking strong
  • up for hugs
  • He’s one of most loyal Pokemon ever
  • He can dance

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:

 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.

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.
