yandere VS. stalker tropes (*very long, this took about two hours to write*) mild tw for horror

[xenth]

@ShuriKitty did i just hear... "made in heaven" ...?

(ok ok i wont derail anymore, xenth out)

[ShuriKitty]

@xenth Correct, the anime with both was JoJo

[Yanderemenhera]

@xenth i'd say a yandere since they identify as female

[xenth]

@Yanderemenhera thank you, you're skibidi sigma fr

[Yanderemenhera]

@xenth idk, just keep in mind that yanderes and stalkers are very simmaler, and when people discuss one over the other it's usually tided to being femmine or masculine and it might make more sense to the reader that they are called a yandere since the character identify's as a female.

[JadeF1re]

whenever I think of yandere it's either you or yuri

[seal]

@JadeF1re im so tired of people mischaracterizing yuri as yandere
she's obsessed w/ mc. that DOES NOT MEAN shes yandere

[JadeF1re]

@seal i only think of yuri cuz people keep saying she's a yandere not that she ACTUALLY is one

tbf monika fvcked up yuris code so she's obsessed w mc, kinda like what happened w sayori but depression

[seal]

@JadeF1re nope, she was obsessed with him regardless. monika just took away the shy trait so she'd reveal it. i think she did mplify it a lilbut yuri was already obsessed w mc

[JadeF1re]

@seal that too

i still feel too new to ddlc man ️

I often js combine the tropes. And, on the contrary, when I imagine "yandere," I either think of the song by Jazmin Bean or attribute the trope to my fav characters (which are typically men).

This might be strange, but I always appreciate a good yandere fic where MC or MC's love interest (which are pretty much always men, so BL) are a "yandere." Maybe I'm sick in the head, but I do enjoy it. I guess I am entertained at how a person can be so infatuated that it drives them to murder for their person of interest. I even want to write a yandere trope.

@Yanderemenhera Yandere is totally a female since I see the escape yandere games

[Yanderemenhera]

@Luana.vasper yeah, the idea that yandere= cute/beautiful, evil/mentally ill lovesick killer
and stalker= kinda the same as yandere, but without murder usually and it's an ugly man
isn't my own, i'm just repeating how those words and tropes are commonly used in media and how people view them.
genuinely, feel free to make yandere yaoi lol, don't take what i'm saying as

you cannot have a female stalker or a male yandere

but as more of an explanation of the tropes and connotations associated with eatch word.
it's cool to mix it up lol.
