the fact bear only tried to cancel his wish after being told he couldn’t alter it (and, seemingly, because he was uncertain about how real nikki’s love actually was) - instead of wanting to do that from the start, as soon as it was clear that something was wrong with nikki - makes me so, so devastated for her. it’s clear he was more concerned with what he was getting out of the wish, rather than the detrimental effect it was having. and like, everyone could tell something was up with nikki, it’s not as if it wasn’t clear. him hanging up the phone as soon as nikki is out on the line (screaming) is so symbolic of how he is completely ignoring how he is ruining her life throughout the film

oh and another thing that devastates me about Obsession is how much nikki is judged and blamed by those around her. sarah and ian repeatedly telling bear that he shouldn’t have to deal with her, that she’s not his responsibility, that they’re worried she’s taking advantage of him. as if they aren’t also her friends, as if they shouldn’t know her well enough to notice something is off. there’s no concern for why nikki is behaving the way she is, there’s just distain towards it. she starts acting out of character and so it must all be intentional. but bear doesn’t get questioned. bear isn’t gossiped about. nikki loses all her agency and autonomy, and all she gets for it is judgment

#thats misogyny baybee!#it makes me feel less bad for sarah too #like obviously. of course sarah did not deserve to die #but she was so intent on blaming nikki and coming on to bear knowing he was in a relationship with her #just deeply unlikeable #ian at the beggining seemed to be a bit tolerable #calling bear out for taking advantage of nikki #but even then he was intent on punishing nikki #inviting BEAR to the boys night and wanting to exclude nikki #and stating that 'sarah did nothing wrong' when talking about inviting her #implying nikki was the one in the wrong #in his defense he didnt know about the wish and was aware of the cancer lie though so

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.

#the scene where nikkie begs him to kill her and he denies her in the most selfish way possible is especially gross #because right before that scene he was on a phone call that basically confirmed she was actively suffering #like he understands shes conpletely altered and he hears her SCREAMING on the phone and hes aware shes suffering #and when she begs him to put her out of her misery he doesnt think to apologize or do anything but take it as an insult #reminds me alot of abuse especially reactive abuse #you tell the person who hurt you that you're hurt and they flip it out on you #the fact that hes the reason shes acting this way and suffering as she is #and he takes no accountability and is fine with everyone thinking shes crazy #and hes fine with everyone framing HIM as the victim whos being taken advantage of and derserves better

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…”

#and the fact he sticks his fingers in his mouth immediately after taking the pills #because he was so selfish and cowardly he couldnt even go through with THAT #he put nikki through hell #ruined her life #indirectly killed his friends as a result #and his own life has devolved to suffering #and he still couldnt take the mkst straightforward solution #because it didnt suit his interests

Every once in a while I've seen the sentiment like "I can't believe I'm still blocked by [person] for [thing that happened forever ago]" and I dunno, I kind of operate under the assumption that most people don't revisit their blocklists. Least of all to pass through it and judge which accounts are now unblock-worthy.

Like if you found me slightly annoying once in 2016 I simply assume I'm blocked forever.

#i blocked someone for being 10 years old once #and im pretty sure that was in like #2016-2017 if i remember #so theres a 19-20 year old somewhere on my blocklist for no reason who i dont plan on unblocking any time soon

Every 200 notes I wake up to, I see some familiar faces and learn that some of you just have this post ON STANDBY to remind yourselves not to whale for the new bland twink.

Proud of you guys
