[b]Obsessive Love[/b] (or [b]Obsessive Love Disorder[/b]) is a condition where a character has been driven into [[crazy|insanity]] by an overwhelming obsessive desire to possess and protect another person, with an inability to accept [[fail]]ure or [[rejection]]. Depending on the intensity of their affection, obsessive lovers may feel entirely unable to restrain themselves from extreme behaviors such as [[violence|acts of violence]] toward themselves or others. In the anime and manga fandom, including danbooru, the term [b][i]yandere[/i][/b] (from [i]yanderu[/i], meaning [[crazy|mentally sick]], and [[deredere]], meaning [[lovestruck]]) is used to describe that character trait (and sometimes an over-dramatization of it). Usually, they are [[guro|extremely brutal]] and do not hesitate to [[attack|hurt]] and/or [[murder|kill]] others in order to be with their beloved. [b]This tag is for characters who go insane by obsessive love.[/b] If the character in question is insane at their own, use [[crazy]] instead. h4. Possible Symptoms * Inability to tolerate any time spent without that person. [tn](Your discretion to tag it if the character says so in the dialouge, since it is still a possibility)[/tn] * Obsessive [[imagining|fantasies]] surrounding the person. ("yandere + imagining":[/post/index?tags=yandere%20imagining]) * Spending inordinate amounts of time seeking out, making, or looking at images of that person. [tn](Currently no examples yet)[/tn] h4. Example Characters * [[Gasai Yuno]] from [[Mirai Nikki]], a well known example of aggression against anyone getting too close to her beloved. * [spoilers][[Katsura Kotonoha]] from [[School Days]],[/spoilers] an example of aggression towards a love interest. * [[Yamagishi Yukako]] from [[JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken]], a character that is often described as the progenitor of the archetype. h4.
