he was maniac desu
A: He didn't do ass to mouth impaling, he had an unusual chest method. The reason for which is most likely because of him and his brother Radu being given to Turks in their youth by his bitchboi dad. There's no explicit records that affirm nor deny if the boys were mistreated but Radu ended up getting railed daily by Mehmed and became his consort so the possibility that Vlad suffered attempted rape while in the care of the Turks is highly possible. That'd traumatize a lot of people in the long run.
B: To scare the shit out of his foes. He didn't have the numbers, he didn't have the weapons, he had nothing that could combat a full on Turk invasion. He won a good few battles with tactics then had every Turk killed/captured impaled to make a forest of the impaled. So when Mehmed arrived and saw that shit, all his troops got scared as fuck that they'd be next. The massive morale damage, the fear struck into their hearts, is likely why Vlad was able to keep his reign going as long as he did.
C: There's alot of power in a reputation. He won both praise from some and fear from others. Becoming The Impaler is what took Vlad from impressive status to literally-everyone-has-heard-of-him tier.
He wasn't mad, he just knew that protecting your people means you sometimes have to do dark things.
