☆ DESCRIPTION

Work harder. Everything has to be perfect. Every move. Every schedule. Every act. It doesn't matter if Liesel was barred from any and all athletic competitions when she was nine years old, she's kept the discipline from her ballet lessons and brought it forth into the rest of her life. No matter how hard she tries, Liesel cannot find confidence in her life outside of her metahuman power. She knows her body, it's limitations, and how to take everything she sees into herself. But what she reads? Or hears? Or talks about? Those things don't click the same way. What if she says the wrong thing? What if she makes someone upset? What if people leave? Liesel sees the way people move when they're hiding, when they're thinking, and she uses it to reach out. You can't lie around her, as she always knows, and she may call you out on it. But more often, she simply tucks that information away for later, because she isn't fond of getting in people's faces. Her power blends with her natural perception and she becomes a hawk for every minute change in movement. In the community, she works with her synagogue to help out in park restorations and clean-ups, in helping children, in helping new citizens, and in all sorts of initiatives. She cleans up after community dinners and stays late to put things away - but she never cooks. She's probably never used her oven in her apartment. Her parents always taught Liesel that a person should always help, always give, as long as they are able. If you have extra, someone else could benefit from it. Even after so long away from her parents, she clings to that. That's all she really needs - to help people - or so she says. To make sure they know that she loves them, cares about them, wants to protect them. So long as people know, and so long as Liesel keeps helping them, they'll stick around. She wants them to stick around. Because it's nice to love people, but she wants them to love her too. She wants them to reach back when she reaches out. She wants them to want and need her just like she does. But she won't say anything. Not when she could be asking "how can I help?" instead.

I absolutly love your ideas for OCD Hux, I need this in my life! Also imagine Kylo one time seeing into Hux's head when he has one of those moments of wanting to stab himself or claw out his eyes ;3

I feel like the ;3 emoji should not necessarily follow the words ‘claw out his eyes’, but I’ve put even happier emojis after even worse sentence fragments, so... :D

It’d be definitely interesting to explore Kylo’s reaction to it - since most people who don’t have OCD or bipolar disorder/bsd don’t even know what intrusive thoughts are... So, would he confuse that for a voluntary thought? For some sort of sign that Hux is suicidal?

Definitely worth a thought in any case
