I’m no Disney expert but Belle is the only worthy Princess of the bunch
She wanted to pursue knowledge, not a boy or just fun; she dropped everything to save her dad instead of causing his death or dethronement; she was fully aware how disgusting Gaston was regardless of appearance; she was seduced by books not riches; and yes, she was ready to ride the beast
And then she founded the company “Bad Dragon”
I guess it’s good that she took a Chance on him.
lol spot on
To me I felt like Belle had Stockholm syndrome
Stockholm Syndrome isn’t an actual thing, fyi. It has never been recognized as a condition and never been diagnosed. The entire thing was an attempt to dismiss valid reactions to police incompetence.
Controversy and debate about whether the condition exists for literal hostages in a violent/deadly situation is a step removed from talking about whether people become irrationally attached to manipulative romantic/sexual partners, and stay despite all rationality pointing towards leaving.
I don’t know if Stockholm Syndrome exists for hostages held at gunpoint. But I do know that plenty of people have behaved irrationally about attachment to abusive people in their lives. And we don’t have to call that particular condition Stockholm Syndrome, but your argument doesn’t really disprove the topic of this discussion.

Stockholm syndrome doesn’t require being held at gun point.
The real issue is people behaving irrationally according to you. If you were in this situation, you would done the rational thing. Therefore, they must be irrational. They are, I’m part, to blame for their situation.
But this is all predicted on your value system and not theirs. Stockholm syndrome doesn’t take into account their story and what convinced them to behave the way they did. It a heavy hand that decontextualizes events and removes victims agency. Accounting for these may still reveal something worth addressing for a smaller subset of victims who are trauma bonded, but it should patiently and diligently center and empower the voices of victims and not dismiss them as irrational
Belle and the beast never really existed either so maybe she did have it!
Wow what a read! TIL. Thank you for this
If he’s verbally abusive, violent, and keeps you locked up as a prisoner, he isn’t necessarily evil.
You can change him! Just be patient, accept him, and love him!
I like the take in Phantom of the Opera better here. At first you expect it to be a beauty and the beast romantic story but Christine rejects the phantom not because of his appearance but because his soul is just as ugly as his exterior.
Don’t research the sequel.
Naveen was more of a Princess than Tiana
Well it can’t have hurt that the beast owned a magical castle.
Yeah but he was rich
Didn’t peg Belle for being a gold digger though.
Books were a luxury
Just like how Shek didn’t know that Fiona would turn into a SBBW ogre. He was prepared to wear an angry skinny white girl like a condom
I didn’t need that mental image. But since you have installed it in my head, I am honor-bound to upvote.
sigh
Cue the Hulk/Black Widow GIF
I’m delighted to report that I have no idea what gif you’re referring to, and I am happy to keep it that way
Since you asked
Tap for reddit link

Ha! That link is staying blu— dammit
Is there a link directly to the gif? for those if us who don’t have reddit logins?
And turn off your speaker sound! You can thank me later!
Pro tip: if you install the browser extension LibRedirect, if you click a link to Reddit/Xhitter/Instagram/TikTok/etc, it will automatically redirect it to a privacy respecting frontend! Fully customizable which sites get redirected and which services/hosts they redirect to. Also has a “one-time disable” button for when you just can’t resist the urge to sign in and leave a comment.
If you use Firefox on mobile (or a fork thereof), you can get this extension there too! If you don’t use Firefox on mobile, consider doing that!
ohh cool tip will check it out thanks!
You shouldn’t need a login, if on mobile set your browser to desktop mode to bypass the age thing
Shrek 2 takes it further with Fiona actively choosing to let the magic wear off so her boy toy would turn back into an ogre rather than settle for a twunk rest of her life.
Maybe it’s a similar situation like here (oglaf nsfw comic):
https://www.oglaf.com/herp/I wouldn’t blame Belle if she was disappointed and called it off.
Tales can be cruel:
And people underestimate big dommy furries:
This comic is neither left-right or right-left orientation and that should be punishable by death.
I guess that seam in the middle means it’s originally two pages.
Idk man. When I read it it only makes sense left-right.
It’s meant to be read upper left, bottom left, upper right, bottom right. So I guess that is technically still read left-right.
When I watch Mulan, I shut it off before the reveal and pretend that Mulan never gets outed. I am so thirsty for gay trans man romance :(
The reboot we deserve.
I wonder if it would be easy to do a cut of the movie so that’s what happens.
??? Isn’t that the whole point of the story ? How is that a fun fact?
She was probably pretty disappointed, too. Ew!
“No offense, honey, but do you think perhaps if I went back to that witch and asked real nice she could turn you back, but this time because you were good not because you were evil”
That’s not a fun fact, that is the entier story…
And like a million Rule 34’s
I can’t be the only one who was disappointed when the beast turned into generic inbred royal twink?
Not a real man like Gaston
Gaston had years of practice sucking down liquid protein too
Noooo oooooone sucks like Gaston, no one fucks like Gaston, no one’s dick’s as incredibly thick as Gaston
For there’s no man in town half as manly,
Perfect, a bear so-far-gone,
You can ask each of Tom, Dick and Stanley,
And they’ll tell you whose top they pre-fer to be on
Gaston has topped every willing villager behind the local tavern but i have zero problem believing he still intends to marry Belle and have 12 kids. He’s a hunting lodge bear but his sequel orientation is dominant. Doesn’t matter who.
TFW no filthy rich furry bf
She didnt sign up for some random human, if she wanted that she could have had Gaston.
He was better as the beast.

Can’t find another source for this tweet from either Twitter or Reddit, but here’s a screenshot of this tweet by Twitter user
@hiimbobbi:Personally, Belle was not fooling me or anyone. When the Beast changed into a human, I saw that look on her face. That was DISAPPOINTMENT.
That’s literally the universal, “Oh my God, I’m going to vomit” face.
Presumably she wasn’t just prepared to ride the beast, she actively wanted to be ruined by it.
She was probably disappointed when the transition happened. She thought she was going to be raw-dogged by the monster.
Jerk off before you write your comment next time.
Look, some of us are monster fuckers and you’ll have to deal with it.
You can’t tell me what to do. You’re not my mom.
I’ll ask her to tell you next time I come over.
So you’re saying you have a sub fetish where your mom is the Dom? Or is that mommy complex?
“I just wish he kept his knotted beast dick…”
