LOVEEEE wish!nikki being faceless. her face being backlit or her entire body being shadowed in darkness. wearing clothes that are completely removed from her style before the wish. having a higher pitched voice than she did before. not being able to smile the same. it’s not just that nikki’s face hidden in shadow, everything that made her HER has also been covered up with something else. wish!nikki doesn’t have a face of her own, she just has what bear wants projected onto her.

OBSESSION (2026) dir. Curry Barker

[lesbiantahani]

thinking about the horror of the scenes in which nikki wets herself, and also throws up on her front/the floor from bodily stress and trauma while waiting for bear to get home. the intention of it being unclear to the audience if wetting herself is the real nikki doing so out of fear, OR the simple fact of entity nikkis apparent and clear indifference to bodily care. why would she hold or attain any semblance of looking after herself/her body? if you are a being created solely to love someone else and exist for them, you would just soil where you stand and not understand what looking after your physical body even looks like. like can you imagine. your complete creational purpose is to love someone else, not yourself. there's no road map for self care. nikki needs to be told when to shower, or when to clean herself up. its just another layer of the grim, awful cruelty bear inflicted on both nikki and the entity and its making me claw at the walls.

GUYS I MADE IT!!!!!!!!

[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

Ema Saikō, from a poem titled "Forbidding My Sister Sake," featured in Japanese Women Poets: An Anthology

“My paper-writing days are over. Academia didn’t work well for me.”

“You’re a teacher. You’re still in academia.”

“Well, yeah,” I said. “But I mean, you know, academia. With scientists and peer review and—”

“And assholes who get you kicked out of your university?” She raised an eyebrow. “And who got all your funding cut off and ensured you never got published again?”

“Yeah. That.”

trinity santos, you deserved a storyline of substance where you struggle with a new attending after you'd just gotten used to the first one and the fundamental difference in your response to them because it's a woman.

and baran al-hashimi, you deserved a storyline of genuine professionalism and being a good teacher as a contrast to your predecessor. about how you have an uphill battle with a department that's been rigid and set in its ways.

and god how i wish this show were about the women most of all.
