hey, this is a genuine potentially life-or-death emergency so please boost this: i need to get in contact with as many people who might be involved in anti-ICE stuff in New Jersey as possible.
a transfem friend of mine has gone missing and i’m trying to help find her
One of things I haven’t seen mentioned about #Obsession, is the final wish.
My headcanon: Bear didn’t actually take enough pills to die, but real Nikki broke through for a second and wished to be free of Bear’s wish, so he died anyway.
I was a little confused when this happened, but am now thinking the, “I love you.” trigger a rapid swing between both consciouses.
Nikki wanted to attack him, so “Nikki” dragged her backward and told him not to be scared, then Nikki ran at him, but“Nikki” regained control.
The entire, “Watching you sleep!” scene was hilarious, bcuz “Nikki” was in a dark corner moving and talking weird as shit, yet Bear simpleton ass was just like, “Baby, come back to bed, you’re scaring me.”
I’m starting to think y’all believe the laughs were at Nikki’s expense, and not at how stupid the situations were, solely bcuz Bear is a narcissistic dumbass.
“Nikki” had at least 5 funny scenes, purely bcuz Bear was delusional as hell and refused to accept he fucked up.
This not even my neck of the woods, but, “How would you describe Mika?” “Some bitch.”
Dodged a bullet, sweetheart. Don’t even care what happened. She better off without him.
I keep saying I’m done talking about it, but Obsession has the layers I like.
That said, in my perfect ending, Nikki finds the greatest prize ever at Ian’s house, bleaches Bear’s place and the bodies, then and flees the country. She don’t deserve to be damned.
Bear felt entitled to Nikki’s love, and didn’t care how he got it.
He didn’t heed the sales lady’s warning, didn’t try to reverse the spell, didn’t care about her health/hygiene, didn’t tell their concerned friends what was going on, and again, r*ped her first chance he got.
reading the obsession screenplay also let me know that bear was indeed FULLY aware that nikki was not herself while he was engaging sexually with her yet he stills rapes her repeatedly including after the “I CAN BE NIKKI” scene which is FUCKING INSANE??
I got it:
College students meet during new years of their senior year, and spend the night together. 15 years later, they meet again at a holiday gathering, dating siblings within the same family. That NYE spark is still there, coupled with a boatload of What If.
Bcuz keep in mind, the only reason Bear was scared, was bcuz “Nikki” was doing weird and scary shit. However, knowing he had to die to save her meant nothing to him. And when the real Nikki slipped out and begged for death, he got offended. Bear wanted to abuse her HIS way.
SPOILERS!
This is the moment the movie establishes Bear is an abuser, btw. Above all else, this moment right here, when he no longer wants her attention and puts hands on her to stop it. Had “Nikki” been this docile the whole film, she’d have endured much worse.
Oh! I also have to say, idk what theaters y’all be going to, but I just came from watching three back to back, and there was no talking and no bright phone screens.
Every time a new movie drop y’all harp about bad theater etiquette, but I go to the movies very often and… nada🤷🏾♀️
Last thing, had she been a bad actress, this movie would have not reached what it did. Inde carries completely, and makes it easy to be both terrified of Nikki and feel deeply sad for her.
