This is my first time actually posting, and I'm not sure how to create character or series tags, so... sorry about that. Hopefully everything else is okay?

The gif is from the show Bravest Warriors—considering how mind control was a key part of season two in particular, I'm surprised that we don't have a series tag for it yet. This is taken from the season two finale, so the context below has been spoiler tagged. I'd HIGHLY suggest watching the show beforehand, it's great! Then come back and make 'stick in hand' jokes in the comments section if you want.

The entire series is legally available for free on youtube, with the exception of the two newest episodes (in season three).

Context:

Beth Tezuka, one of the main characters, is being offered to the eldritch Aeon Worm by her father, who has been corrupted by the Worm due to years and years of its influence. During that time, he allowed it to feed on Beth's emotions as she grew up, hence the parasite tag (this is only really mentioned in the comics, though).

After she rescued him from the alternate prison dimension he created (where the Worm is also imprisoned), Beth's father started a cult by brainwashing dozens of hamsters. The perfect faith of the hamsters allowed him to influence his psyche enough to transform his personal weaponized 'sticker pet' into the Aeon Worm itself, so that it could briefly break through the dimensional walls and hypnotize Beth into bearing its eldritch offspring, which is what is shown in the gif.

Y'know, with all these mc horrors, you'd think they'd just ask us if we'd be ok with being sacrifices.

I mean...

I know I would.

The Worm actually told Beth it was because of something involving her birth that made her the Mage it needed. We got a bit more detail in the comics:

Taken from the BW wiki:
In Bravest Warriors Comic 20# it is revealed that Beth's DNA contains passenger particles which act like Evolution Accelerators. Basically, they can make an organism grow fast in hours or minutes. Because of this, the aeon worm chose Beth as its host to absorb all her feelings due to their accelerating effect.

So I don't think you'd be eligible, sorry Pink. Maybe next eldritch abomination?

I completely forgot that this show existed. I think IT'S ALWAYS BEEN WANKERSHIM was the last episode of it that I've seen. I'm going to have to catch up.

I've been meaning to draw something for this scene for a while now. I mean, it's a cute girl getting mind controlled by a giant tentacle monster.

And it's not even the first time that happens in the series.

It's funny, I couldn't fully get into it when I was watching them as they came out (even though the show shares my initials~), but I recently watched the season 1 and 2 compilations, and found that the show is much better viewed as a pair of 100-or-so minute long movies. I'd encourage anyone who's at all interested to do so, since they're up for free on the studio's YouTube account.

Is this show made by pendelton ward? Or is it just the same illustrator?
