The Dreamer Graveyard

Who am I?

I'm Rose Quartz, the (co)host of a DID system! The "host"'s name is Sirena, but ae don't post much on SM.

I'm hoping I'll be able to use this platform to educate on OSDD-1/DID as a whole, but we'll get there when we get there, I'm just living for now while I figure this place out! As of rn it feels like I'm giving syscourse blog. (No I'm not a Steven Universe introject, please).

Boundaries?

This space is not endogenic/mixed origin/nontraumagenic-friendly!! The only way to experience "being a system" is OSDDID. Point blank, period. I won't argue on this and I won't read your Carrd on it.

I don't do misinformation. I will not hesitate to call out information that's incorrect. If that bothers you? Ok...?

We are not interested in source calls or sourcemates. In fact we're against sourcecalls in general. I really could care less that you have Castiel Supernatural in your brain.

Obviously homophobes/racists/etc aren't welcome here. I can't stop you from following me, but this isn't a safe space for you 🥰.

I use I/me to refer to the system as a whole sometimes. Others I use we/us. Depends on the situation. I try to use I/me.

This is a pro-recovery account. I won't trigger warn, censor, or otherwise limit talk of dormancy, fusion, integration, or other normal system things.

Dream Stans, DissociaDID dickriders, and JKR bootlickers are not welcome here. This isn't a safe space for you either.

I think that Obsession portrays toxic and manipulative relationships where the abuser is manipulating people around them to make the victim look like the toxic one in the relationship - the way Bear looks innocent to their friends and they're all worried about him and they think that Nikki is crazy, while Nikki is actually the one being used and abused here without her consent, but they can't see that from their perspective. Usually, abusers are sweet and nice to everyone except their family/romantic partner, and most people find it hard to believe that someone who is so kind can be capable of hurting anyone so they think that the victim is falsely accusing them.

Sarah represents the third person's perspective. She cares deeply about Bear, and Nikki's scary behaviour makes Sarah sympathise with Bear and try to help him. But by helping him, she ends up being murdered by Nikki and Nikki immediately tells Bear "it's your fault for this. You wanted this". Nikki's words in that scene sounded almost as if the real Nikki was saying that to Bear because her actions were the result of his wish and she wasn't responsible for them - he was. Usually when a third person tries to help the manipulator and connects with them they soon end up a victim of their manipulative actions because they didn't know what the manipulator was capable of until they got closer to them, just like Sarah suffered the consequences of Bear's wish here even though she was just as innocent as Nikki. And if Bear had a crush on Sarah and not Nikki, he would have done the same thing to Sarah.

The title goes both ways - Nikki was obsessed with him because of the spell, while Bear was already obsessed with her.

my roommate (who hasnt seen obsession) upon hearing that nikkis last name is freeman pointing out how upsetting that is because. freeman. free man. the one thing she cannot be. fuck man.

[castlevolkihar]

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

‘Obsession’ was amazing and Inde Navarrette’s was such a revelation! 😭💖 One of my favorite horror movies of recent years hands down!!

the longer I sit with obsession the more empathy I start to feel for entity!nikki. this creature that was created solely to love one person with this all-encompassing intensity that needed to be stronger than anything anyone felt in the entire world. entity!nikki whose entire world was just one single focal point; she'd do anything for bear to love her. she didn't know anything when she came into existence, but she was willing to do anything to get this man to fall for her.

it must have been equally terrifying for her as it was for the real nikki to have someone else fight for control over what she perceived as her body. the scene where she's sobbing in the corner, terrified of her dreams is now more sad than terrifying to me. real nikki, who has just been raped by her once best friend hurting so badly that it seeps into entity!nikki's nightmares. entity!nikki who doesn't understand why the thing she wanted so badly is causing her so much pain. why she can't bring herself to lie in bed next to the man who is the center of her world.

and the worst part is bear doesn't even seem to like her. she's trying so so hard; she made a lovely memorial for his dead cat, she waited for him to come home all day without moving an inch, she made sure to be the most doting girlfriend at the party, and he's not pleased by any of it. he seems disturbed and angry and scared and she has no idea what to do to make it better. to make it worse, he keeps asking her to behave like the original nikki but he was the one who wished for her!! she can't be like nikki because nikki was simply not capable of loving bear even a fraction of how much she does!

she can't seem to reconcile it; he wanted her so badly he conjured her into reality and now he doesn't want her anymore. she doesn't know what to do. she tries everything. she obsesses over him, she threatens to hurt herself, she gets rid of that bitch sarah who keeps distracting him and trying to steal him away, and then dresses in her clothes for good measure and he still doesn't want her.

and then finally in a fit of desperation, she makes the wish and for one beautiful moment its all perfect. he's finally looking at her the way she looks at him. and then he's dead and she's lost everything.

her entire existence, from the moment of her conception to her death was painful, and confusing, and so very sad.

Be careful who you wish for 🪄

That moment where Nikki tells Bear that she's writing a love story that isn't a romance, and he doesn't get it. Can't recognize the difference between the two things, and the way it dooms them all. ugh. UGH. NOBODY TOUCH ME

obsession was great. the themes are especially great when viewed thru a feminist lens. i think you could even go so far as to view it as a metaphor for reactive abuse (the way bear makes a wish for nikki to love him more than anything in the world / be obsessed with him, then lets everyone believe she’s just gone crazy put of nowhere, all while still not wanting to end his relationship with her. of course it’s not one to one but the subtle themes are there.)

i also enjoyed how the film showed what everyday violations of consent can look like…media often shows the most obvious, often-dramatized occurrences of it, but this depicted a more common way of it showing up.

bear did indeed take advantage of nikki while she was in a mentally unstable state. he was well aware her consent was compromised. all the while he is very insecure about it, knows what he is doing, becomes aware even that nikki is aware and it is hurting her, continues doing it. i love that this film names this. it even critiques “not like the other girls” anti-feminism through sarah, who sees it as nikki taking advantage of bear…then she ironically tries to take advantage of bear’s vulnerable state herself by coming onto him.

also on a smaller note nikki’s batshit incestuous gorey hansel and gretel story had great prose i enjoyed it. my partner pointed out that before the wish, nikki saw bear as a little brother figure. meaning the hansel and gretel thing very well could have come from real feelings of disgust, like it nearly feels like an incestuous relationship to her.

and the ENDING. a lesser film would have insisted that, in these circumstances where the wish can only be broken if one of them dies, the male lead must survive between the two. but there was no self sacrifice from nikki out of “love”, there was no moment of lucidity or jealousy or rage where she kills herself, bear is forced by the narrative to take full responsibility for what he has done to nikki. what’s more— he reaches for a gun, almost uses it, ultimately decides on overdosing on pills. my partner and i personally think this was intentional commentary on masculinity, by having bear consider, then reject, the way men typically choose suicide in favor of the way women typically choose it. just a fun detail and maybe we’re both batshit.

good movie. all of that said though i’m sure a lot of people will boil it down to “haha women are soooo crazy…”

[nessa007]

so i just saw obsession

[acefuruya]

I genuinely appreciate how obsession doesn't try to frame bear as morally grey but just fully leans into how deplorable he is. a lesser movie would have tried to give him redeeming moments along the way but no, at every single crossroads bear makes the wrong choice. when the customer service rep asks him if he wants to cancel his wish, he says no, and asks to alter it. when nikki, the real one, begs him to kill her, he asks her "if it would be so bad to love him", and right at the end, backs out of killing himself and tries to throw the pills up. he is the villain, not another victim, not a confused, cowardly boy, the villain.

[serendipitous-posts]

Just saw the interview where Curry Barker explained that it's totally possible to get a normal wish from the One Wish Willow, and I love the way they did that so much. The reason Obsession happened isn't because it's trying to twist Bear's desires into something evil. It's not even because he phrased his want wrong. Obsession happened because Bear got his hands on a magic item that could do anything in existence, and chose to force someone to fall in love with him, which is an inherently evil thing to do.

[officialdietcoke]

on my second viewing of obsession, i had the realization that nikki’s story at the party wasn’t the movie using incest as an easy shorthand for making the audience uncomfortable or creating a general “things are off” vibe but was another way the real nikki was crying out—a metaphor for the fact that nikki, like gretel, is being made to fuck her “little brother” (bear) under duress, at the behest of an external magic (the witch’s spell in her story; obviously, bear’s wish)
