History StalkerWithACrush / WesternAnimation

* Ice King from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' is one to any princess, but Princess Bubblegum is his main target. He even wrote a song about it. [[EvenEvilHasStandards He won't go after underage princesses, though]].

** In Season 5 it is revealed that Marinette [[spoiler:went through a traumatic experience where [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] [[TraumaCongaLine played a series of pranks on her and ended on having a boy Marinette liked playing the final prank]]]]. Because of this Marinette declared that she would never fall in love again unless she knew EVERYTHING about the boy.

Because of this Marinette declared that she would never fall in love unless she knew everything about the boy.

* Myra Brandish of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' is the insane former bodyguard of Rusty Venture who believes herself to be the mother of his twins (this is heavily implied to be true) who breaks out of asylums once a year to antagonize the Ventures somehow, still being in love with Venture and obsessing over her (supposed) children.

** [[spoiler: The episode "Pixelator" offers a visual contrast with ''another'' stalker.]] "Volpina" [[spoiler: also deals with Marinette's stalker tendencies, with her apparently learning her lesson after harshly calling out [[ConsummateLiar Lila]] for her lies, [[WhatTheHellHero blinded by her love for Adrien]]]].

** Even though they're friends, Isabella is also like this with Phineas. The only usual reason she sees/helps/hangs out with Phineas and Ferb and go though their adventures together is only to get Phineas' attention (and to a much lesser extent, badges).

** Ty Lee keeps making advances on Sokka, after he makes it clear that he's not interested, even though she and her friends are trying to capture him and his friends.

* Magpie to Batman in ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman''. Though it initially starts as mild attraction towards him in her first appearance, she becomes obsessed with him when he pays visits to her prison to make her feel less miserable. In "Attraction", she mistakes his partner Katana with his lover, and she breaks out to try to "rescue" Batman from her.

* [=Vlad Masters/Plasmius=] in ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' fits this trope. It doesn't matter that Maddie is happily married with two children to Jack. He also has the [[StalkerWithoutACrush trappings of this]] with Danny, though it's more a platonic than romantic (Sorry shippers...) which makes it ''creepier''.
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': The Kanker Sisters (the three trailer trash girls Lee, May, and Marie) towards the the Eds in a very over-the-top fashion. It's still unknown whether or not they actually genuinely care about the Eds, or just want men to boss around and do their chores.

** Also, [[spoiler: The Darkness in "Wishology" becomes obsessed with Timmy after he becomes the first person to put something good into it (i.e. light). In fact, all its action in Parts II and III were to capture him and keep him close to its heart... It wipes out Yugopotamia and captures a race of creatures just to do this.]]

** There was a one-shot character that happens to be Peter' old prom date, who has a hallway full of pictures of Peter. She is also wearing the dress that she wore to that prom...and hasn't washed the hand that touched Peter's since then...or flushed the toilet he used either, for that matter. Her explanation of everything is "It's a little piece of you that's kept your memory alive!" {{Squick}} Central...

* Heloise in ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''. The actual stalking part is largely not seen, since she's already friends with Jimmy, but she does have a StalkerShrine hidden in her house. A one episode gag had Jimmy saying her name, having her pop out of a bush holding binoculars, the clear implication being that she was watching him.

** [[AlphaBitch Pretty]] is obsessed with Mr. Cat and constantly takes pictures of him on her phone, intrudes his personal space and randomly shows up and follows him, but there are implications that she only likes him for his body.

* Unlike the video games, where his obsession seems to be solely with her power, Ganon seems to have some attraction of this nature toward Zelda herself in the animated ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda1989 The Legend of Zelda]]''. In one episode he abducts her and tries to [[HypnotizeTheCaptive force her to marry him]]; in another he declares to his minions, "I want that princess!"
* Russell from ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' is temporarily brainwashed into falling in love with Penny Ling, and does it to the extremes that's he outright terrifying (Think WesternAnimation/PepeLePew on crack) The same thing later happens to Vinnie for Minka, and Sunil for Pepper respectively.

* WesternAnimation/LolaBunny in ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow''. The Merrie Melody song, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTkPgpEgFak We Are In Love]]" is basically "Stalker with a Crush: The Song". Among other tendencies of this trope, Lola stands outside Bugs' house in the rain while sporting a SlasherSmile. However, this trope is after averted now that Lola and Bugs became an OfficialCouple starting in "Double Date".
** Ironically, when Lola's attention switches to Daffy, Bugs starts being attracted to Lola, and unwittingly plays along when she attempts to use him to make Daffy jealous.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'': Marinette (of ''[[{{Moe}} all]]'' people!) has stalking her crush down to a science- literally, a detailed [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/lady-bug/images/9/92/Adrien%27s_schedule_January_to_June.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151229020133 schedule]] based on her analyses of his life, having as well an actual ''shrine'' of him by filling one of her walls with his photos, stealing his phone and so on. In "Party Crasher" she literally dresses up as a boy so bodyguard would let her come into his house where he was hosting a boys' night. In "Chat Blanc", she sneaks into his room and throws herself into his bed...honestly, she's far beyond cute and straight-up creepy. She's getting better by Season 4, although [[spoiler: briefly dating Luka, the stress of being Guardian and Ladybug, and her PTSD caused by Chat Blanc probably contributed to that]].

* Coach Stopframe from ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' who goes very far to gain the affection of Orel’s father, Clay. Including praying to both God and Satan, nearly sacrificing a goat and Orel himself, taking pictures of him undressing and keeping them in his bathroom, and most notably, having an affair with his wife so that she’d give birth to an unwanted second child to make Clay more miserable with her, and eventually run into his arms. Thankfully, he gets over it by the final episode, once he truly sees just how much of a terrible person Clay is, which considering the description here, is really saying something.

** He didn't seem to ''mind'' it, and used it to his advantage--hence the "nearly dooming her sisters" part.

* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' has a rare example in which both the stalker ''and'' the crush are this to each other. Mitchell is the stalker first. In his debut episode, "Mindy's Moon Bounce House", Mitchell watches Mindy, his (speculated) crush ''through a pair of binoculars''. Later, in "Solar System Bake-Off!", Mitchell attempts to spy on Mindy and her baking contest entry, and acts rather awkward around her. Mindy then becomes the stalker starting in "What Goes Up...", where Mindy sneaks up on Mitchell several times throughout the episode. It would then become a RunningGag which would appear in "Kid Kart Derby" and "Detective Mindy", where Mitchell more or less warms up to her. Then in "Mindy's Mystery", Sean and Sydney actually more or less ''help'' Mindy to stalk Mitchell! (Then again, all they were doing was trying to track the source of the mystery smell from Mitchell's yard)

* Venom in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'', but it's a bit of a LoveTriangle. The symbiote wants to be with Peter Parker, who it is mad with for rejecting it; host Eddie Brock is also mad at Spidey, but he teams up with the symbiote because he thinks it's the only one left that cares for him, even though he admits "it only loves me for the hate". In Brock's case it could be particularly bad because, since he knows all of Peter's secrets, he should ''also'' know why Peter appeared to act so irresponsibly and selfishly- he was in reality either busy as Spider-Man, or himself being corrupted by the symbiote. But he still feels alone so he keeps going back to the symbiote just so they can hate Peter together.

** "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS4E15SquidtasticVoyageThatsNoLady That's No Lady]]" has Patrick dress up as a girl named "Patricia", leading Squidward and Mr. Krabs to fall in love with "her" and act like complete stalkers, popping out of random places (like the ''sink'' and the fryer) to ask "Patricia" out on a date. And they still persist even after Patrick continues to tell them "no".
** In "[[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS5E19TheTwoFacesOfSquidwardSpongeHenge The Two Faces of Squidward]]", the entire town act like stalkers towards Squidward after an accident causes him to become very handsome.

* The ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' version of Blob is this briefly, when he thinks that Jean's refusal to hang out with him is an insult (rather than simply that she has stuff to do).

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': Pepe [=LePew=] -- and it doesn't matter if the cat is male or female (and 1947's "WesternAnimation/ScentImentalOverYou" showed us that it didn't matter if it ''was'' a cat, because the object of Pepe's affection in that short was a chihuahua who glued skunk fur onto her body so she can be like the other dogs), so long as she (or he) is painted like a skunk. And the Creator/DCComics version of ''ComicBook/LooneyTunes'' had Pepe go after a black bull (the one who squared off with Bugs on "WesternAnimation/BullyForBugs") with a white stripe and several ''human'' women who in one way or another have black and white skunk stripes on them. Can we say "AnythingThatMoves," boys and girls?

* Terry/Batman's girlfriend Dana gets one in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', though at first she thinks that the flowers and notes are from Terry himself. She doesn't take too kindly to being kidnapped, no matter how conscientious her captor is, [[spoiler:then she finds out that she's not the first person he's stalked]].

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': The Creeper has a short yet extreme crush on Harley Quinn in "[[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE24JudgementDay Beware the Creeper]]" that causes at least one TheCatCameBack-like moment. We actually see him sniffing his way through the town, trying to follow her.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'', Darkseid is this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaeYz7Ndq2k to Wonder Woman]] which is [[{{Narm}} unintentionally hilarious]] considering Darkseid in the comics is an OmnicidalManiac who couldn't care less about chasing satin tights. This Darkseid is constantly trying to make Diana [[WeCanRuleTogether his Queen]] of Apokolips, to point of [[BoundandGagged tying]] her up, apologizing when using his EyeBeams on her, negotiating the survival of her friends for her hand in [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe marriage]] and even transforming into goddamn Steve Trevor to trick Diana into loving him. This lovesick portrayal of Darkseid is ironically ''eerily similar'' to his Creator/MarvelComics AlternateCompanyEquivalent Thanos' obsession with lady [[TheGrimReaper Death]].

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': The episode "That's No Lady" has Patrick dress up as a girl named "Patricia", leading Squidward and Mr. Krabs to fall in love with "her" and act like complete stalkers, popping out of random places (like the ''sink'' and the fryer) to ask "Patricia" out on a date. And they still persist even after Patrick continues to tell them "no".
** In the episode "The Two Faces Of Squidward" the entire town act like stalkers towards Squidward after an accident causes him to become very handsome.

* Donatello to April in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012''. He stares at her from afar, knows very little about her, and had spent hours making a chart on ''every'' possibility April will throw at him.
** In Season 2, he still follows her after she yelled at him and his brothers for accidentally mutating her father. This stops once she goes back to them.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''

---> '''Chris:''' The things you know scare us. Seriously.

* Coop has the dig on for Yin in ''WesternAnimation/YinYangYo'', though his becoming TheMole for the Night Master isn't entirely to please her so much as he's tired of being [[BadBoss kicked around]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'' Darkseid is this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaeYz7Ndq2k to Wonder Woman]] which is [[{{Narm}} unintentionally hilarious]] considering Darkseid in the comics is an OmnicidalManiac who couldn't care less about chasing satin tights. This Darkseid is constantly trying to make Diana [[WeCanRuleTogether his Queen]] of Apokolips, to point of [[BoundandGagged tying]] her up, apologizing when using his EyeBeams on her, negotiating the survival of her friends for her hand in [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe marriage]] and even transforming into goddamn Steve Trevor to trick Diana into loving him. This lovesick portrayal of Darkseid is ironically ''eerily similar'' to ''ComicBook/{{Thanos}}'' obsession with lady [[TheGrimReaper Death]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'': Amora the Enchantress appears to be this towards Thor himself - she even tried saving him once or twice.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': ComicBook/TheCreeper has a short yet extreme crush on Harley Quinn that causes at least one TheCatCameBack-like moment. Though we actually see him sniffing his way through the town, trying to follow her.

* Terry/Batman's girlfriend Dana gets one in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', though at first she thinks that the flowers and notes are from Terry himself. She doesn't take too kindly to being kidnapped, no matter how conscientious her captor is, [[spoiler:then she finds out that she's not the first person he's stalked.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''
** ComicBook/TheCreeper has a short yet extreme crush on Harley Quinn that causes at least one TheCatCameBack-like moment. Though we actually see him sniffing his way through the town, trying to follow her.
** The Mad Hatter's creepily stalkerish behavior towards Alice!!!

* [=SwaySway=] from ''WesternAnimation/BreadWinners'' is utterly obsessed with Jenny Quackles, his crush. He steals her trash, takes videos of her, and watches her when she isn't looking.

* In the third season of ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' Nabu was a somewhat more benign version of this in the first few episodes he appeared in. He had run away from home in order to learn what the girl (Princess Aisha) his parents had [[ArrangedMarriage arranged for him to marry]] was really like, and he ended up falling in love with her.

* [=SwaySway=] from Breadwinners is utterly obsessed with Jenny Quackles, his crush. He steals her trash, takes videos of her, and watches her when she isn't looking.

* Wolverine/Logan comes across as this in a number of episodes from the '90s ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' as he hopelessly pines for Jean Grey, who, despite being at least somewhat interested in him, is adamantly loyal to her boyfriend, team leader Cyclops.

** The "reincarnated Thanagarian lovers" thing is also subverted when [[spoiler: it is revealed that proto-Hawkgirl ended up leaving proto-Carter for proto-Green Lantern. Yep, even ''[[BecauseDestinySaysSo destiny itself]]'' is telling Carter to buzz off.]]

* Unlike the video games, where his obsession seems to be solely with her power, Ganon seems to have some attraction of this nature toward Zelda herself in the animated ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda Legend of Zelda]]''. In one episode he abducts her and tries to [[HypnotizeTheCaptive force her to marry him]]; in another he declares to his minions, "I want that princess!"

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}'' Darkseid is this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaeYz7Ndq2k to Wonder Woman]] which is [[{{Narm}} unintentionally hilarious]] considering Darkseid in the comics is an OmnicidalManiac who couldn't care less about chasing satin tights. This Darkseid is consonantly trying to make Diana [[WeCanRuleTogether his Queen]] of Apokolips, to point of [[BoundandGagged tying]] her up, apologizing when using his EyeBeams on her, negotiating the survival of her friends for her hand in [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe marriage]] and even transforming into goddamn Steve Trevor to trick Diana into loving him. This lovesick portrayal of Darkseid is ironically ''eerily similar'' to ''ComicBook/{{Thanos}}'' obsession with lady [[TheGrimReaper Death]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Meng admits following Aang during a whole episode.
** Also Ty Lee keeps making advances on Sokka, after he makes it clear that he's not interested, even though she and her friends are trying to capture him and his friends.

** Izzy's biography claims she stalks boys that interest her. In one episode, she mentions an old boyfriend got a restraining order against her, and adds that he should get new blinds for his bedroom because she can't see anything through the ones he has.
