Ow, my sanity (Webcomic) | comment |
Ow, my sanity is a webcomic by Adam J. Thaxton. It's a Lovecraftian Magical Girlfriend Deconstruction, or as the author put it, "stabbing the magical girlfriend genre with a rusty chainsaw". In other words, Ah! My Goddess meets H. P. Lovecraft.The main character is an art student at Miskatonic University named David Bartlett, whose life sucks. One evening he comes home to find his dorm-mates performing some sort of cultish ritual. Hilarity Ensues, if you find the cult's hideous demise and getting kissed by an Eldritch Abomination to be hilarious.See Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! for a more lighthearted and comedic take on the same concept.As of 3/9/11, the comic is on hiatus so the author can work on other projects. Thankfully, as of June 2017, Thaxton seems to be laying the groundwork to finish Book Twelve. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong | |
Ow, my sanity (Webcomic) / int_19df659c | comment |
Gone Horribly Wrong: All of the wishes Nancy granted turned out badly. Time will tell whether or not Dave's wish will follow suit. Although, given that he wished for someone to give a crap about him, one could argue that have that someone be an Eldritch Abomination already counts as going wrong. | |

Everybody's Dead, Dave: Nancy kills several cultists by misgranting their wishes and sacrifices the rest for power to grant Dave's wish, leaving him the only person left alive in the entire dorm. (And he's named appropriately for this trope.) | |

Gas Leak Cover-Up | |
Ow, my sanity (Webcomic) / int_2c7f683b | comment |
Gas Leak Cover-Up: As Dave immediately predicted, this is used to cover up the deaths of the cultists. Even more so, he not only predicted that it would either be arson or a gas leak, but also what each possibility meant; "arson" would have meant the architects of the cover-up could get local police in on the hunt, whereas "gas leak" means that they either can't work with the police or don't want to confront him. He's right on both counts; Delta Green doesn't have government support and is hesitant to confront a "priest" of his "power". Delta Green is right as well - they're just unaware of the exact nature of his "power". | |

Out with a Bang | |
Ow, my sanity (Webcomic) / int_33ba37ca | comment |
...especially when you're asking an elder god with very little understanding of humans, let alone human metaphors and euphemisms. When Nancy is summoned, she grants wishes to bystanders, but lethally misinterprets them. A cultist who wants to start a new Columbine shooting hallucinates one (only he's getting shot at instead of doing the shooting) and when he's killed, a lethal bullet wound appears in his head. One wishing that his brain was bigger (smarter) has his head swell to a fatally large size. One wishes for some killer sex and gets what she asked for, if not what she wanted. | |

Heart Is an Awesome Power | |
Ow, my sanity (Webcomic) / int_3496b29a | comment |
Heart Is an Awesome Power: Played absolutely and literally straight. Dave has such good luck with Eldritch Abominations due to his inhumanly intense empathy; this tends to confuse and intrigue them enough for them to not immediately eat his head, and by the time that passes, they're smitten. Unfortunately, it's useless in interacting with other humans, as they use it as an excuse to treat him as a doormat. It also allows him to just roll with things that would cause others in the Cthulhu Mythos to go stark raving mad. | |

Never Needs Sharpening: Dave spends three pages translating apartment ads for Nancy: "easy access to basement" means there's a hole in the floor, "close to the woods" means bats roost in the attic, "easy heating and cooling" means they removed asbestos and didn't put in new insulation, a "private atrium" is a hole in the ceiling, and "rustic scenery" means it's in Dunwich. | |

Bedmate Reveal: On the part of the author to the audience, when David casually tells [Narla impersonating Nancy] that Nancy kisses differently than she does. This is the first hint that David and Nancy's romance has progressed that far (although possibly it was just a callback to their first kiss combined with a bit of deductive reasoning). | |

Lovecraft Lite | |
Ow, my sanity (Webcomic) / int_55d919f7 | comment |
Lovecraft Lite: There are horrible Eldritch Abominations (and people around Dave die horribly, and Nancy offers to kill people for him on occasion), but the creatures' reactions to Dave are far from hostile. So far most of them just want to get to know David better or propose in really creepy ways. On the other hand, the author has said on his blog that it's going to have "a Lovecraft ending." This might mean an optimistic one like The Dunwich Horror or the good ending of Eversion, or it might mean a typical one with Dave and/or a bunch of other humans winding up dead/insane/transmogrified.(Besides, did he say who gets the Lovecraftian ending?) If so, the warm-and-fuzzy-ish beginning just makes things worse. Since it's based on Delta Green, Earth is still doomed, but Dave and friends might not go mad, suicidal or primordial either. The author has called the webcomic his "thesis statement" on why the Cosmic Horror Story became Lovecraft Lite; Humans Are BECOMING Cthulhu. | |

Dark Is Not Evil | |
Ow, my sanity (Webcomic) / int_575fd5e2 | comment |
Dark Is Not Evil: Despite what they are, most of the Lovecraftian entities really seem to be more curious about how humans act than interested in eating them. Nancy herself is fairly nice, deciding to help Dave rather than kill him in order to study his desire to be loved. The Sleeper is literally enamored of Dave for being kind to frogs and the forest. Shubbie seems genuinely amused by/interested in Dave and his relationship with Nancy. The only exception to this (so far) is the Shoggoth, and she seems to be more of a wild animal that needs to be trained than malicious. | |

All-Loving Hero | |
Ow, my sanity (Webcomic) / int_99e14f05 | comment |
All-Loving Hero: Despite his various issues, David is astonishingly kind and generous to just about everyone, including Eldritch Abominations. Maybe this is why they haven't seriously harmed him yet. One even offered to become his eternal bride and elevate him to godhood in return for his kindness. On the other hand, it may be that they see something special in him... the investigators certainly do. | |

Evil Is Not a Toy: Unless all of the cultists had a death wish, summoning Nancy really didn't work out well for them. Some of them didn't even get a wish since Nancy sacrificed them so she could grant Dave's wish instead. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
Ow, my sanity (Webcomic) / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: ...especially when you're asking an elder god with very little understanding of humans, let alone human metaphors and euphemisms. When Nancy is summoned, she grants wishes to bystanders, but lethally misinterprets them. A cultist who wants to start a new Columbine shooting hallucinates one (only he's getting shot at instead of doing the shooting) and when he's killed, a lethal bullet wound appears in his head. One wishing that his brain was bigger (smarter) has his head swell to a fatally large size. One wishes for some killer sex and gets what she asked for, if not what she wanted. Narla hires a ride in exchange for "anything you want". The guy wants to never have to worry about bills again, which she considers an easy one. So many lovely interpretations of that... | |
