i think avoidance is such a little-recognized ocd compulsion. all the time i talk to people with ocd who are like "i was always having intrusive thoughts about using kitchen knives and harming myself or others but i'm okay now because i just stopped using knives ever 👍 so i'm good now"

if you don't know why this doesn't work, the issue is that ocd never stops when you implement a compulsion. it evolves. today you've "solved" it by never using a knife again (and losing access to an important cooking tool, thus limiting an aspect of your life) but in a few months or a year it'll be that forks are dangerous too. and hey, isn't it risky to use the stove? avoidance will even begin to manifest in places you might not recognize.

Big brother warned him about blond boys but Shouto didn't listen 😩

Tell us about your wierd headmates!

To most it would likely be the entire damn city of St Louis as depicted in a 30+ book series that showed up as a side-system here... Of which half the population is made up of vampires & the like.

We have a few folks would consider weird? Though to be honest our view of weird is probably pretty skewed, a lot of this is just entirely normal to us (because, well, it's our norm!).

Our brain did a similar thing. A majority of our system is just a bunch of people the brain went "what if [character] was [AU or something]"
