can you guys stop writing au’s in which a character has ocd but no obsessions and the only compulsions they perform is repeating words or counting their steps. instead why don’t you write one where the character has obsessions with infections and not getting infected so they cant touch anyone else, they cant pet their cat, if they do they have to wash the area until its red and bleeding but they keep washing it. write one where the character is terrified that theyre going to kill someone on purpose so they never touch sharp objects and if they see one they have to pray until they feel like they wont hurt anyone. write one where the person has a suicide/self harm obsession and they have to check themselves over and over and over and over to make sure that they didnt harm themselves, even though they have never self harmed before and dont feel inclined to self harm. write one where the character is homosexual and obsessed with the thought that they are a sin and they need to fix it, they constantly try make themself be straight and pray but it never works. write au’s where ocd isn’t portrayed as someone just repeating themself over and over, because there is so much more to it then that. ocd ruins you.
