trans-f1xedLesser-Known Hypnokink Roots
Everybody’s always talking about fucking Kaa the snake, and that is all well and good and hot, but you know what, I’m 30 years old, Kaa was not my foundational hypno fetish root.
I want to talk about the hypnokink fodder that really turned me, a hapless 90′s kid, into a pervert. The less celebrated shit! Stuff like:
The Pokemon episode where Misty & all the other kids get hypnotized into thinking they are PokemonThe Pokemon episode where a Tentacruel puts its tentacles on the back of Meowth’s head and takes over his mind and uses him to speak to the humans. While we’re on the subject of mind-control tentacles, the alien in Independence Day that takes over the body of the scientist and uses him as a puppet to talk to the PresidentThat weird as shit episode of King of the Hill where Bobby sniffs an ant’s nest and the pheremones turn him into an empty headed slave to the Queen, and forces him to bring their nest sugar and water (I kid you not, Bobby Hill mindlessly intoning “Yes My Queen” in his little raspy southern accent drove my kinky mind wild as a kid)The Yeerks in the Animorphs Books!!! They slide into a host’s ear, slip around their brain, and take total control of their body and identity, unffff One of the RL Stein Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books in the 90′s had an ending where an evil troll whistled into your ear and made your mind evaporate into thin air, leaving you an obedient, mindless husk. Needless to say I somehow arrived at that ending a lotttt Blossom getting hypnotized in the original powerpuff girls! Jafar’s hypnotic staff in Aladdin! (okay, this one is pretty widely celebrated, but still, not as much as Kaa!) The mind-controlling, body-overtaking, essence corrupting Seru in the game Legacy of Legaia!Kohaku getting mind controlled in Inuyasha! Allllll the fucking mind control in Sailor Moon my god The Harder Better Faster Stronger video by Daft Punk, where all the members of the Crescendolls get brainwashed and have their memories erased holy fuck!What are some of your lesser-known hypno-roots? Please reblog and add if you want, I’m sure I”m forgetting a ton of foundational influences!
openvacantAlready thought of another one: the passage at the end of the book Hannibal where Dr. Lecter drugs Clarice and brainwashes her into thinking she shares a mind with his dead sister (it’s weird) and falls deeply, devotedly in love with him.
Middle-school-aged me thought that was so so so romantic hahahaha
knowing-smileI was always weirdly compelled by puppet masters. 😅
I don’t know that I remember much from my childhood that was that compelling, but, I can add:
Red Kyptonite from SmallvilleThe entire theme of Psyconauts being about going into peoples thoughts and changing them and how they act.Slave collars from Fallout 3I know @unlockingwonderland was super into a specific bit from sailor moon, but I forget which precise episode.
hypno-kittyI always loved the “mind control chip” that was thrown around constantly in the 2000s. Like Kim Possible and Shego.
mindbodydickotomyOh! Oh! Someone already said Yeerks which I just realized was one of mine, lol. But “mind control chip” reminded me of the Witch Mountains series.
Anyone remember Return From Witch Mountain? I feel like it was on Disney sometimes in the 90s but it had a major plot point that some of the characters were being controlled by a chip behind their ear. I think it might’ve appeared in some of the other ones in the series but I literally haven’t seen any of them since I was like 10.
Oh yeah, looking back that was big for me.
slavehypnoslutI thought of more!!
- Dio from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. I hate him with every fiber of my being (and it takes a lot to get me to hate a fictional character who uses mind control!) but he was going around mind controlling people (flesh buds & vampireness)
- Erik (Phantom of the Opera). He hypnotized Christine with his voice and eyes and music multiple times (book, musical, various movies, etc). This started it all for me!
- Anubis (JoJo) one of the stands in part 3 that controls another person/possesses them!
- Dracula (the Lee movies & Oldman as well) so much hypnotizing beautiful young damsels, so little time.
- Teen Titans (the OG). There’s that big hypno/mind control episode and at one point there’s a big room full of spirals
- Big Trouble Little China. Ladies getting hypnotized! Fun fact this movie is how I got outed as a hypno fetishist to my best friends lol.
-Young Sherlock Holmes. Pretty girls getting hypnotized by a cult to be sacrifices
- Mew 2 hypnotizing/ controlling in Pokémon
- Another Inuyasha one, Myoga the flea controlling people/ possessing them
- The monster metal band Lordi, several of their music videos seduce/ possess/ mind control women (Personal recommend: Would You Love A Monsterman? Warning: horror)
And two obvious newer additions just so they’re on the list:
- Mindslaver in Incredibles 2. Obviously.
- Shinso from My Hero Academia who has mind control as a super power (a good boy who deserves better.)
mindbodydickotomyJust remembered:
- Temple of Doom. The Blood of Kali which mind controls Ibdiana Jones. Not girls being hypnotized but still hot AF, lol.
- Xena Warrior Princess. There was a vampire episode or something that had a whole bunch of hypnosis/mind control, I believe a potion was involved kind of like ToD. And I feel like it and Hercules had a lot of other episodes with those themes I just don’t remember.
dom-plays-with-dollsMan, but “Hypno’s Naptime”…
This was it. This was The One. My supervillain origin story.
I taped it on an old blank VHS back when I was in elementary school and just…I’m not kidding, I know a lot of people say this to add funny hyperbole to their story, but I’m 100% serious when I say that I actually played this episode over and over until the tape wore out.
It didn’t help matters that Misty was my very first crush. If Sailor Moon triggered my sexual awakening, Misty triggered everything else.
The thing is that she’s hypnotized by Hypno to turn into a Seel at first, but when they bring her back to reverse the spell via Drowzee, it really takes its time hypnotizing her before turning her back. Brock even says during the process “Whoa, she must be in a really deep trance.”
“Trance”? What is that? Is it real? Why do I like what it does to Misty so much? Either way, that’s a word I’m going to remember for the rest of my stupid little life.
hypnosis-slaveThank you for mentioning that King of the Hill one! Thats a deep cut and definitely played n impact.
