Psychotic Love Triangle: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

A love triangle where at least two of the members are [[Yandere]]s. Leads to a massive amount of drama and generally lots of violence and attempts to [[Murder the Hypotenuse]], only now it's working both ways, and if the third member of the trio is ''not'' mentally unstable and violent, expect them to suffer quite a bit. Sometimes though, the third member of the trio can be as crazy, if not more so, than the aforementioned crazies. And if they aren't, they may be soon enough thanks to the other two.
