She was probably pretty disappointed, too. Ew!

Yeah but he was rich
He was better as the beast.
TFW no filthy rich furry bf
??? Isn't that the whole point of the story ? How is that a fun fact?
Hey, no one said it was anything more than romantic. You don't have to fuck anything that moves.
That's not a fun fact, that is the entier story...
And like a million Rule 34's
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
Naveen was more of a Princess than Tiana
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.
Belle and the beast never really existed either so maybe she did have it!
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
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.
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.
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.
I guess that seam in the middle means it's originally two pages.
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.

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
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.
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.

I can't be the only one who was disappointed when the beast turned into generic inbred royal twink?
That’s like, the moral of the whole movie is that she didn’t judge him for his appearance and wasn’t expecting a prince. I figured this was well known.

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.
