People, especially games, get eldritch madness wrong a lot and it’s really such a shame.
An ant doesn’t start babbling when they see a circuit board. They find it strange, to them it is a landscape of strange angles and humming monoliths. They may be scared, but that is not madness.
Madness comes when the ant, for a moment, can see as a human does.
It understands those markings are words, symbols with meaning, like a pheromone but infinitely more complex. It can travel unimaginable distances, to lands unlike anything it has seen before. It knows of mirth, embarrassment, love, concepts unimaginable before this moment, and then…
It’s an ant again.
Echoes of things it cannot comprehend swirl around its mind. It cannot make use of this knowledge, but it still remembers. How is it supposed to return to its life? The more the ant saw the harder it is for it to forget. It needs to see it again, understand again. It will do anything to show others, to show itself, nothing else in this tiny world matters.
This is madness.

The VHD canon calling them dhampeel/dunpeal is the textual equivalent of drinking milk and it tastes funny. It hasn't even gone bad! But the taste could be best described as Something.
Both the book and movie for Vampire Hunter D are a fucking trip for completely different reasons
#i personally call them dhampir even if the canon doesn't#i thought dhampeel was a translation error? correct me if i'm wrong

Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust for the PS1 is so hilarious to me because it's a bargain bin FFVIII. That wants to be Silent Hill. Except you are The Horror. The Unstoppable Force. But the game feels weirdly campy in the way that it pads out the playtime with puzzles. I, the Goth of all Time have to find keys and music box passwords to open doors.
VHD Bloodlust for the PS1 I want to flatten you with a hammer.
#vampire hunter d#vampire hunter d bloodlust#vhd bloodlust#the tank controls are A Choice to put it nicely#i am extant and powerful and unknowable but i Must use doors and passwords. sure.#the music and aesthetic are the only good marks of the game#it plays like a game#it's campy to me and i have a thing for camp sometimes#bosstext

Quick phone screenshot of model art for Galian Beast from the FFVII Rebirth Ultimania ❤️
(Will try to see if I can do a better quality photo / scan at some point)
((Edit: For the folks in the comments/tags acknowledging that even his Galian Beast form is sexy, you are correct and valid ❤️ ))

i feel like Bubblegum's transformation in/role in elements is so underdiscussed in terms of really appreciating what it says about her as a character ugh UGH i love elements and even though PB is not there for long, every moment she's there drives me nuts. like her control driven impulse, her attempt to recreate the Mother Gum (and have a world where everything is safe, everything makes sense, nobody questions her, nobody confuses her) being so powerful she could transform OTHER elementals AND she almost took over the entirety of Ooo. being so obsessed with making everyone happy and carefree and connected to her... reminds me of her looking at her family turned into candy people in bonnibel bubblegum (episode) and saying they were happier and more unburdened that way. elemental was kind of her outlet to feel that really intensely.
and also just to reiterate she literally seemed to be the most powerful elemental there, not because candy is inherently more powerful than the other three, but because her force of will; her convictions and her obsessions. i LOVE HER SOOO MUUUCH.
#at#fun fact that the mural in thin yellow line acts as foreshadowing#she is likened to a god due to her resources#her 'eyes/surveillance' giving the impression of omnipotence#or her connections to great and terrifying beasts#such as the candy sphinxes or marceline#much like a god she is kind and terrifying#there's no cognitive dissonance here

The sexual objectification of Vampire Hunter D's female characters is just really, really weird, dude.
Like, usually when you think of a woman written by a man in an objectifying way you think of a girl with zero personality or agency in the plot outside of being a living reward for the male protagonist, right? But the thing is, Vampire Hunter D's leading ladies generally have more agency in the plot than D himself does. In fact, in a vacuum, with only a description of the characters and their arcs to go on, you might be forgiven for thinking that Vampire Hunter D has some perfectly decent leading ladies, and honestly it does. Doris Lang is a treat.
The problem is that the narrator himself is just so exceedingly horny for these women that it makes the book actively uncomfortable to read. The man feels the need to not only point out that the female deuteragonist is only seventeen years old and a virgin, but to reiterate it throughout the book. It's just baffling.

Little VHD Bloodlust things that live rent free in my head
D is painfully overpowered and this adds to the horror rather than undermines. The horror alone doesn't come from 'Thank god he's on our side.' It comes from inevitability. It comes from his battle with the spiritual half of Carmilla and how we see a closeup of a rather animalistic looking D. This is just a foreshadowing of when the beast within finally wins.
'When that day comes, another will come to hunt me. It's as simple as that.' Just think about that for a second. Imagine it's your first day as a hunter. You are excited to go kick some serious vampire ass. Your first assignment is to fucking cut down Dracula's son. You have to fight the superboss on Level 1.
D has to have some insanely strong conviction not to succumb to bloodlust in his 10,000 years of living. But nothing lasts forever. There is a non zero chance he could finally go apeshit tomorrow.
D and Lefty could theoretically put vacuums in the future out of business. The very same hand that lives rent free in a certain Vampire King's son's hand has sucked up pocket dimensions can also swallow up dust, mold, and mildew in no time flat!
On a more horrifying note, imagine if D (post succumbing to the beast within) used Lefty to drain blood without the need of hollow fangs. Just imagine....
