obesssion!!!

meat packaging idea was inspired by official art from studioheartbreak drawn by Ami Thompson !

drew little something:')

[sanguinesylph]

my least favorite obsession discourse is when people say "my only question is why does bear see his wish working and not even try to stop it" or "why did he always do the most selfish thing?" because he's a selfish human being. he likes owning nikki. ending the wish or trying to kill himself would remove his power dynamic. Bear is so selfish as a human being that he didn't even consider the idea of not owning Nikki. He always made the worst decision possible because in his selfish mind that's the only one there was.

[mad-not-disappointed]

“which scene in Obsession gave you the chills? the backwards walking? the uncanny valley sleeptalking Nikki? Sarah getting murdered?"

actually it was the first time when Nikki became conscious after the wish. you know, when she was outside Bear's car, talking nonsense about the cat and she suddenly snaps into consciousness and goes "wait what the fuck?"

it wasn't enough to scare me but it was so fucking unnerving. especially if you know what's happening and what's coming, which i did.

like imagine you had a long night and you're going home to get some rest, and then suddenly your body starts moving of its own accord. and suddenly you're outside your coworker's car and you're talking nonsense, you're behaving very strangely, you're creeping him out and you don't know why.

did Nikki think she was going insane? did she think that she got drugged or that maybe something was wrong with her? how long did she wonder if she was just losing her mind, before realizing Bear had something to do with it?

even now, rewatching that scene makes me feel so uneasy. nothing extreme has happened yet but you can imagine the growing fear and confusion in Nikki as her body refuses to listen to her.

this poor girl

[castlevolkihar]

i’m not a nikki freeman apologist because nikki freeman did nothing wrong what would she have to apologize for

[smilesbag]

i feel like people are overlooking the moment at the beginning of obsession where nikki straight up asks "do you like me?" and once bear lies and says no she replies "ok, good." for starters, it was a chilling moment to me because this is such a classic experience of having a close guy friend, only to realize that he wants more from you. girls aren't dumb! nikki isn't dumb! of course she knows that bear is into her, she has eyes! she can see his stuttering and sheepishness and she's just dreading the moment she has to turn him down, to tell him that he's like a brother to her. just before she had told him that she doesn't feel real love in her life, and i don't think it would be a leap to attribute a small part of that feeling to her fear that her friendship with bear isn't as simple as she wants it to be.

it's also a chilling question from nikki because once she walks away bear knows that she doesn't feel the same way about him, and he makes the wish anyway. he is incapable or unwilling to take a hint and see that she doesn't feel the same way. and that question is the last thing she says to him before he ruins her life forever. it's unfair.

[yaereigns]

It’s shows how selfish & pathetic some men are. They never can take a hint & they are so clueless as to why a woman would not like them. Ugh I hate that type of man who pretends to be your friend but the whole time they are thinking about fucking you, or wanting you to be hurt by another man who they can swoop in, or the worst one them all is using all your insecurities/flaws against you as they manipulate & gaslight you into thinking they would be the only man who would tolerate you! 

Bear is a pathetic loser.

[maxadecillion]

just because you chose this for her doesn't make it less real

[clownowo]

worlds most well adjusted teenaged girl

[turnipoddity]

[amslibrary]

when the real nikki begged bear to kill her and HE played the VICTIM. nikki freeman, you will always be loved by me.

Obsession Movie Spoilers / Analysis

Sarah being tied up and naked, legs tied open, and a shell of herself, is what Freaky Nikki believes what Bear likes because he is using Nikki without her consent/ she isn’t there.

Nikki threatens to shoot herself in the vagina and actually pulls it out of there and limps. Because he cares about having sex with her, not her as a human being. It also emphasizes that the demon associates her vagina with violence bc of Bear’s SA on nikki

[starvariety]

the party scene in Obsession is objectively very tense and awkward and uncomfortable. but to me, it’s made so much more upsetting by the fact that Nikki was clearly popular and well-loved. when Bear looks at her social media towards the start of the film, we see she has 2k+ likes on a post. in general, she seems to have a very sociable personality and is fun to be around. so for her to have to experience a different version of herself completing sabotaging the connections she’s built - and embarrassing her in front of all these people - must be so harrowing. even if she did regain control of her body before things got fatal, she still wouldn’t be able to return to a normal life. at the very least, not the same life she’d had. not knowing that so many people witnessed such an unnatural outburst - unaware that it was out of her control - that almost definitely altered their perception of her, permanently
