Ā Frollo and Quasimodo

image

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.

The Beast and Belle

Ā 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 itā€™s original purpose.

FUCKING FINALLY

I donā€™t usually reblog stuff like this, but Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie and Iā€™d like to have this on my page!

this is actually a very good analysis. I take back all the times Iā€™ve called Beauty and the Beast aĀ ā€˜stockholm syndromeā€™ romance.Ā

this is the purest video you will see all day, it includes not only practical advice on how to make cats feel comfortable but also:

  • the most patient and long suffering clawdia
  • bob ross, but a vet 
  • squish the cat
  • squish the cat, but with a towel
  • absolute unit mr. pirate
  • a little chubby but quite beautiful

please watch this immediately

Squish! That! Cat!

I considered myself to be well versed on cats/communicating with cats. I’ve lived with at least two cats my whole life, and currently live with two very different cats who I love. Apparently most cats are shoulder cats? My cat Mason has always been very nervous about going up on people’s shoulders, so I thought I’d try the “shoulder cat” technique.

I had to help him up on my shoulders because he’s never done it himself before. But once I got him up there I squished him, he started purring like nobody’s business. I carried him around our entire apartment, up and down staircases, and he was so happy. He didn’t try to leave once! When I put him down he head butted me and meowed and was super affectionate. And of course I gave him a treat.

TLDR- Even if you live with cats and think you understand cats, please watch this video. 

This is honest to god one of the best videos I’ve ever seen

Always reblog

My family just got a pair of kittens, so my mom and I HAVE to try this out!!

Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:

image

The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!

So if anyoneā€™s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:

image

And I wanna stress that when i sayĀ ā€œtop of the legā€ iā€™m not talking about the crotch (please donā€™t flag me tumblr itā€™s an anatomical term) iā€™m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:

image

Itā€™s easier to see what Iā€™m talking about in this photo of a man squatting:Ā 

image

So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:

image

But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!

HOW THE HELL DID I FIND THIS POST OMG
