A character who is under Mind Manipulation, whether being directly controlled or Brainwashing, does not want to be released or changed back for one reason or another. This trope raises questions about identity, the self and (of course) free will. It can be terrifying to suffer lack of agency over your own actions, thoughts or feelings, or even a full Death of Personality, as most people would choose Dying Free or Dying as Yourself than being changed into something they aren't. However, what if being charmed made them happy, or what if the personality that emerges over the old one is just as afraid of being erased? Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This trope has a distinct difference to More Than Mind Control, because in that trope, a person is being manipulated in such a minute and subtle manner that the victim is in some way helping along their brainwashing. That trope is about how manipulators make it easier for themselves to control others by nudging the victim towards the end goal. It is also at risk of the victim turning against them once they discover the manipulation. Persons under this trope may or may not know that they were wronged, but simply don't care and still prefer things the way they are. Can happen to someone who's caught in a Lotus-Eater Machine or false reality and chooses to stay. Sister Trope to Happiness in Slavery. This is the goal of Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul, as the victim themselves now want to avoid having it undone. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })See also Prefers the Illusion, can also happen if someone creates an Alternate Timeline, and the work establishes that only ONE timeline can exist at a time.

Dragon Age: In general, a character that has been made "Tranquil" (had their connection with The Fade severed in order to make them docile) doesn't particularly mind being Tranquil and some will even say that they prefer their lives this way compared to whatever it was before. Still, being made Tranquil is considered a Fate Worse than Death for any person threatened with it, as it is an irreversible (or so we're led to believe) Loss of Identity, and in addition, it's common for Tranquil to be exploited as cheap labor or even Sex Slaves because they tend to lack any strong feelings. In the rare event that a Tranquil is cured, they swing sharply in the opposite direction and become very emotional — on one occasion, the victim screamed that he'd rather die than go back to being Tranquil. | |

AXIS: The Axis event "inverts" the morality of several characters, and most of the reverted personalities (Hulk, Iron Man, Sabertooth, Loki, Thor, etc.) all prefer whatever side of the coin they landed on. It's double-subverted for Doctor Doom and Loki, though; although they prefer being good now, they're aware that this is not the way thing should be and that the effects need to be undone. They mourn the fact that when this is done, they'll go back to being their evil selves. | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Hive's mind control works like this. Most Inhumans express the feeling as perpetually having something "missing" in their lives (which may/may not have been explicitly engineered by the original Kree scientists who created them). Hive's "sway" acts like an addictive drug that explicitly fills this psychological void. After being controlled and then forcibly detoxed, Daisy immediately seeks Hive out and begs to be taken back under his control, but is denied because the detox process renders her immune. | |

The Matrix: The Mole Cypher was extracted from the Matrix by Morpheus, the same as the rest of the crew. When he sells out Morpheus to Agent Smith, the reward he asks for is to be re-inserted into the Matrix, to have all of his memories of the real world erased and be programmed to think that he's an actor. He doesn't get his wish, as he's killed by the heroes. | |

The protagonist of With This Ring can put an orange light brand on others and control their desires. When he does this to a would-be assassin raised in slavery, she takes to her captivity quite cheerfully, and he has to turn down the control to stop her from propositioning him. But when they encounter an alien species that would quite like to dissect and study her, she asks him to turn the control back up to make plain that she's off limits (and she's apparently not bothered by asking). | |

Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail: Alain has had nothing but guilt and torment for their actions that got them onto the Infinity Train and suffers from recurring nightmares. So they requested help from Henry and Walter who gave them hypnosis to help them sleep better and then gradually make them a puppet for a demented ritual and thus becomes the component of "Dreams". To ramp up the horror aspects, the reader also learns that Alain is usually sleeping while crucified in an empty hospital room... The prequel, Infinity Train: Knight of the Orange Lily has Tokio agreeing to a procedure to be brainwashed so they can become the White Rabbit as it makes them serviceable and to atone for the sin of leading the Apex to kill the previous White Rabbit. |

Despite being fully aware they're being controlled, the pair enjoy each other's private company too much to resist. They're released purely by an outside influence, though they're not upset about it afterward. | |

Knights of the Old Republic: If you run light-side, this is arguably the case for your Player Character! The way it's phrased in-game (and in the sequel) is ambiguous as to the degree of the brainwashing involved, with characters giving their unsolicited opinion as it being everything from a full-on Heel–Face Brainwashing, Loss of Identity, and Fate Worse than Death to a Reset Button to a brain dead husk with only a few memories left that was all but resurrected with the new personality. | |

Overlord (2012): As a joke, protagonist Momonga rewrote the command code on the NPC Albedo so that she'd be madly in love with him. When they're transported to a new world in which NPCs like Albedo are now real people, he regrets the decision because it tarnished his friend's beloved NPC and took away her agency. When he apologizes to her, she cheerfully tells him that she's fine with it and wouldn't want to be any other way. | |

Jessica Jones (2015): After an extended time under Kilgrave's control, Malcolm Ducasse discusses this trope with Jessica. There is an ironic freedom to being mindcontrolled because you are not responsible for your actions. You don't worry about plans or their consequences, you just fulfil the purpose of the controller. | |

Features in the author's spin-off fic series The Tales of Milikan, particularly in the one-shot “Ginny’s Wish Come True” where she encounters a real Kaa after becoming obsessed with the character in a variation of The Jungle Book (1967) and explicitly asks him to hypnotise her (fortunately, this Kaa is a good character who prefers to love and treasure humans rather than eat them). | |

Codex Alera: High Lady Antillus became involved in a conspiracy against the First Lord by working to undermine the legion that was in the way of an invasion of Canim. When her treachery was discovered, she fled, but was captured by the Canim, fitted with a discipline collar, and commanded to do no harm; because the Cane who collared her was killed, the collar can never be removed. She spends her days afterwards as simply Dorotea the medic, finding it far more fulfulling than being a High Lady. |

In Batman, Poison Ivy's mind-control powers occasionally work this way. It's best seen in The Long Halloween, when Carmine Falcone hires Ivy to put Bruce Wayne under her spell and get him to agree to let Gotham Central Bank to launder Falcone's money (Wayne's on the board of directors and the lone holdout in keeping the gangster at bay). While enchanted, Bruce is essentially a passenger in his own mind, but he feels oddly content and calm while connected to "the Green." | |

"Reliable" Matthew in Shadowrun Returns: Hong Kong is actually a deeply neurotic and insecure man who regularly uses a PersonaSoft that overrides his default personality with an artificially created one as a way of coping with life. If you speak with the 'real' person he reacts with horror if you suggest he stop, preferring the Persona when interacting with others. Speaking with the Persona later reveals he sees himself as benevolent by allowing the 'real person' underneath to not have to deal directly with the unpleasantness of everyday life. | |

"Search by the Mule": Han Pritcher was Brainwashed by the Mule in the previous story. Several times during this story, Pritcher thinks to himself about the way he wants to be loyal to the Mule, and trying to think about the way he used to hate the Mule bothers him. His biggest concern is the way the Mule has described those who have undergone the brainwashing are somehow less capable than before the brainwashing, and being less useful to the Mule than someone who hasn't been brainwashed bothers Pritcher. | |

The missing prince of Narnia has been bewitched into marrying his captor and forgetting his old identity, but the curse temporarily lifts every night, so he has to be bound to the silver chair until the spell returns and he forgets the night's events. In his enchanted state, he instructs the heroes not to release him no matter what he says at night, believing that he'll turn into a monstrous bloodthirsty serpent if he's not tied down. But once his mind returns for the night, he successfully convinces them to untie him by invoking the name of the divine lion Aslan in his pleas, then destroys the chair to break the enchantment once and for all. | |

In Ginny Weasley: Double Life, after being hypnotised by talking serpent Milikan, Ginny happily refers to Milikan as her Mistress and affirms that she lives to serve her. However, Milikan's hypnosis primarily 'encourages' Ginny to see Milikan as her best friend rather than just her Mistress, and the snake also has no problem with Ginny retaining her existing relationships with Harry and her children; the only thing that truly changes is that Ginny has no problem spending time in the nude with a talking serpent. Features in the author's spin-off fic series The Tales of Milikan, particularly in the one-shot “Ginny’s Wish Come True” where she encounters a real Kaa after becoming obsessed with the character in a variation of The Jungle Book (1967) and explicitly asks him to hypnotise her (fortunately, this Kaa is a good character who prefers to love and treasure humans rather than eat them). |
