Delusional Dove Aversion Disorder (DDAD)
DDAD is a delusional condition characterized by an irrational and persistent belief that doves are inherently evil and bring bad luck. Individuals with DDAD see doves not as symbols of peace or purity, but as malevolent creatures that are harbingers of misfortune, deceit, and even danger. This delusion often leads to intense fear, avoidance behaviors, and distorted interpretations of situations involving doves.
Symptoms:
- Paranoia About Doves: The individual becomes highly paranoid and fearful at the sight or mention of doves, convinced that they are a sign of impending bad luck or malicious intent.
- Avoidance Behaviors: Sufferers go out of their way to avoid places where doves might be present, such as parks, gardens, or any environment known to attract birds.
- Distorted Perceptions: The person interprets everyday occurrences involving doves (e.g., spotting one on a walk, hearing cooing sounds) as direct threats or omens, leading to significant distress.
- Belief in Dove Conspiracy: The sufferer may believe that doves are part of a broader, malevolent conspiracy, seeing them as agents of bad luck sent to monitor or harm them.
- Superstitious Rituals: The individual might engage in ritualistic behaviors (e.g., throwing salt, wearing specific charms) to counteract the “curse” of seeing a dove, believing these actions can ward off the perceived bad luck.
- Irrational Fear of Dove Imagery: Pictures, statues, or even artistic representations of doves provoke anxiety, disgust, or fear, as the individual perceives these images as containing the same malevolent energy as real doves.
- Hypervigilance: Constant scanning of the environment for the presence of doves, leading to a heightened state of stress and anxiety whenever outdoors or in areas where birds might appear.
- Obsessive Thoughts: Persistent, intrusive thoughts about doves bringing bad luck plague the individual, making it difficult for them to focus on anything else.
- Social Withdrawal: The individual might distance themselves from family, friends, or activities that involve exposure to doves or situations where they might encounter them, leading to isolation.
Color Theme: The color theme for DDAD is a stark combination of muted gray, representing the color of doves, combined with dark maroon and shadowy black, symbolizing fear, paranoia, and looming misfortune.
Visual Representation: A visual representation of DDAD would feature a figure standing in a dimly lit environment, surrounded by shadows of doves with glowing red eyes. The figure’s posture is tense, head lowered as if trying to hide, while the doves loom menacingly above. The scene is shrouded in a fog-like mist, emphasizing the person’s deep-seated dread and the eerie, ever-present sense of threat that the delusion brings.

Eldritch Insanity Disorder (EID)
A disorder characterized by a deluison in which one believes that they have, in some way, a personal connection to an eldritch-type deity and said belief causes them severe distress and extremely maladaptive symptoms parallel to Eldritch Insanity.
The diety is not a pre-existing god, but rather something unknown and all seeing.
The holder experiences episodes of psychosis between normal living periods which, in their mind, is caused by the deity connecting with them again.
The episodes always come with:
- Short bursts of intense, indescribable amounts of fear
- Belief that they are being watched by the deity
- Dissociation
- Derealization
- Intense Deja-Vu
- Getting bursts of feelings/visuals as though they have literally lived in/seen the current moment before
- Anxiety
- Paranoia
- Depression
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Fear
- Confusion
- Obsessive thoughts about the deity
- Obsessive questioning of reality
Other symptoms that aren't necessary but may be experienced are:
- Feeling as though they have seen secrets of the universe, and then been forced to forget them
- Belief that the deity is sabotaging them
- Belief that they are a vessel for the diety
- Belief that they are being guided by the deity
- Belief that they must follow the deity
- Belief that nothing matters after seeing what the deity has shown them
- Hallucinations
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Believing they are stuck in a time-loop due to Deja-Vu
- Fatigue
Episodes usually happen slowly until hitting a peak before calming back down into "sanity". The feeling of upset and distress may linger but it's able to be put to the side as the holder continues their life, which afterwards they may feel upset for holding "crazy beliefs" during the episode.
Holders engage in behaviour that seems erratic and irrational during episodes. This includes ranting, talking faster than normal, repetitive behaviours/movements, coming off as cold/numb, breaking off relationships, and becoming extremely pessimistic among other things.
Episodes are commonly triggered by stress in any form, but they also may happen on their own.
Holders of EID may only experience delusions and hallucinations during episodes, but no other times (unless they also suffer from comorbid disorders).
If someone you know suffers from EID, trying to keep them grounded in reality without reality checking is the best course of action until their episode declines. Not taking anything they say and or do personally is also important, as they may behave entirely different once the episode is over.
