#instrusive thoughts

i call them brain worms after the maggot from corpse bride

Literally nobody:

but then when people talk about intrusive thoughts that involve violence to themselves or others, sexual assault, bigotry, animal cruelty, abuse, or any other genuinely horrifying thing, then suddenly it’s all “omg if you even have that thought you’re disgusting!” and “you wouldn’t think it if you didn’t mean it on some level!” and “ok FINE maybe you can’t help THINKING it but do you HAVE to post about it?” (and i’ve seen that last one commented on videos where people simply mentioned HAVING intrusive thoughts about the topics i just listed. not describing the thoughts in detail or saying what they entailed! just mentioning “i have intrusive thoughts about [x topic]” and suddenly everyone in their comment is jumping down their throat for making them uncomfortable.)

the point of intrusive thoughts is that they are thoughts you do not like, do not want to have, and do not believe in your logical, thinking brain. “swerve into traffic” “you could stab them” “what if you poisoned the coffee you just gave them and somehow repressed the memory” “what if you secretly want to hurt them, so secretly even YOU don’t know it” “what if you ran someone over and didn’t notice” “what if you don’t actually love your mom you’ve just fooled yourself into thinking you’re capable of love but really you’re just faking it”

intrusive thoughts are upsetting, scary, and often objectively ridiculous.

they’re not fun.

Like as a kid I'd wash my hands till they cracked and bled, I'd wear gloves, I'd freak out after touching things, it was actually debilitating and horrible. I still struggle a lot w/ it but I can manage it a bit better now as an adult.

“Katsuki…” you whisper.

The blonde doesn’t stir from your call. You pout as you move closer to him. You begin to poke his cheek repeatedly to get him to answer you. You just got a lot of things on your mind right now, and he should listen.

“Babe,” you whisper again as you poke his cheek, “Katsuki!”

Finally, the asshole scrunches his face together as he moves in a more comfortable position on his back. “The fuck you want shitty woman,” he grumbles as his hand searches for yours to hold as his eyes remained closed.

“I can’t sleep,” you pout.

“Just close ya’ damn eyes,” he sighs out dramatically, “Nothin’ I can do about it.”

“I just got a lot of things on my mind, Suki,” you sigh softly as you look at his stupid handsome face.

“If you’re thinkin’ about the venue, stop fuckin’ worrying. We’ll find one just in time before the wedding,” he says in response.

Damn bastard read your mind. But it’s hard not stress about it because you both haven’t found one up to both your standards. You haven’t seen places where it meets in the middle yet, and it’s racking up your brain.

“It’s hard,” you say in disappointment, “I just want the perfect place for us.”

Bakugo sighs again as he finally opens his eyes to look at you. You smile softly seeing his sleepy face as he looks at you with his red, swollen eyes. He takes the hand he’s holding and brings it up to his lips. “Sweets… We’ll find a place that’s way more perfect than any damn extras’ wedding. Just give it time,” he says in an uncharacteristically comforting tone.

“You’re oddly comforting,” you tease as you softly bite his shoulder.

“If I’m not, you’ll just keep talking,” he grumbles with a smirk as you gasp dramatically.

“How rude,” you pout.

“Wanna knows what’s rude?” he smirks as he rolls on top of you making you laugh, “Wakin’ me up at 1:30 in the morning. Ya’ know I got early patrol, doll.”

He buries his face in between your tits making you run your fingers through his blonde, unruly hair. “Sorry, Suki,” you giggle, “I’ll apologize by making your favorite breakfast.”

“Good. Now go to bed. Quit wakin’ up…”
