RWBY

Like I said before,

Illia’s misguided, not a psychopath. She’s being manipulated and her feelings for Blake are the single biggest obstacle in what she’s been convinced is the best path for her people. Every time she’s been on the opposite side of Blake she looks like she’s about to cry because no matter how badly she wants Blake to see her side of things AND To be with her, she won’t do either.

Illia stood by and did nothing when Blake was with Adam and made no attempt until the literal (as far as she knows) last possible time she’ll ever see Blake to confess her feelings.

Adam on the other hand is an abusive, aggressive, unhinged lunatic who went so far as to stab Blake and sever Yang’s arm out of pure petty spite and delusion with no hesitation whatsoever.

I am so goddamn sick of people making this argument that they’re exactly the same when they’re clearly not. If Illia was even half as crazy as Adam she would’ve killed him ages ago so she could’ve had Blake to herself. If she were a “predatory lesbian yandere” like tumblr so HORRIBLY misinterprets her character, she would be keeping Blake to herself instead of sending her to Adam, regardless of the risk to her or Blake.
