Second Lead Syndrome 

Wanting so desperately for the lead actress of a drama to end up with the better guy, but you always know that she is going to end up with the lead bad guy in the end. Usually goes with the feelings of either wanting to curl up and cry over your ramen, knock someone's teeth in or both.
Me: In the drama "You're Beautiful" park shin-hye should end up with jung yong-hwa instead of jang keun-suk. Friend: Oh you definitely have second lead syndrome

Trumpholm syndrome 

Trumpholm syndrome is a psychological phenomenon first described in 2016 in which intelligent, rational, empathetic and compassionate Americans who did not vote for Donald Trump during the U.S presidential election of 2016 express empathy and sympathy—and have positive feelings toward—President Donald Trump, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with him and his agenda.

Trumpholm syndrome is self-defense mechanism: bonding with Trump is the individual's response to trauma suffered by his rise to power.

Symptoms of Trumpholm syndrome often develop after a sustained period of trumpression.

The word "Trumpholm" is a portmanteau of "Trump" and "Stockholm" (referring to Stockholm syndrome).
"Ever since Cecilia's post-election trumpression transformed into Trumpholm syndrome, she's been able to get out of bed and go to work again; Jim said he even saw her smile while watching President Trump on the news."

Lavender Unicorn Syndrome 

Lavender Unicorn Syndrome occurs when, instead of using a characters name or a pronoun, you repeatedly use other descriptors for them, such as "the baker," "the ninja," "the dragon."

Common in Fan Fictions, the term spawned from the Friendship is Magic /fic/ board where writers would refer to Twilight Sparkle as "lavender unicorn" rather than using her name to describe when she was doing something.
"As Twilight Sparkle walked into the room, the lavender unicorn lifted the book from her shelf with a wave of her horn."
That's Lavender Unicorn syndrome right there. We have pronouns for a reason, people.
