all those years of “omg their whiskers are smudged because they pressed their noses together!!!” and it was not only true but on the internet the whole time is actually crazy
Bear was awful from the start.
People say Bear only became the villain after the wish, but I disagree.
When his cat dies, his immediate reaction isn’t guilt or accountability, it’s confusion over how the cat got the pills, even though that could only have happened because of his own negligence. Later, when he wants to buy Nikki a gift, he quickly gives up on finding something she’d genuinely appreciate and instead walks away with the One Wish Willow.
Then there’s the wish itself. He doesn’t wish for Nikki to choose him or for their relationship to grow naturally. He wishes for her to love him more than anyone else in the world, which means her own wants and feelings no longer matter. Even if he believed it was just a harmless novelty, the fact that this was his deepest desire says a lot about how he viewed Nikki long before the curse ever took hold. That’s what makes it so disturbing.
