If You're Feeling Like Leaving to Avoid the Pain of Rejection:

"I feel like running away because I’m scared of being abandoned, but I don’t want to do that."

"I’m having the urge to push you away before you can do it to me, but I don’t actually want to."

"I want to be close to you, but my brain is making me feel like I shouldn’t be."

"Can you remind me that you still care about me? My brain is making me doubt things."

"I feel like I should just disappear, but I don’t actually want to. Can you help me stay?"

"My instinct right now is to push you away before you can do it to me, but I don’t want that. I just need reassurance."

"I feel like leaving to protect myself, but I know that’s just my fear talking."

"I want to say I’m done, but I know I don’t actually mean that. I just feel really scared right now."

"I feel like I should cut myself off from you before I get hurt, but that’s not what I really want."

"I’m having the urge to run, but I know that’s not the right answer. I just don’t know how to deal with these feelings."

"My brain is screaming at me to walk away, but I don’t actually want to. I just feel like I’m about to be abandoned."

"I’m scared of being rejected, so my first instinct is to leave first. But I don’t want to do that to us."

"I feel like I’m about to sabotage this by saying something I don’t mean. Can you help me not do that?"

"I know I usually try to push people away when I feel like this. I’m trying really hard not to do that right now."

"I feel like I'm about to self-sabotage. I need a second to process."

relationship OCD is making any conflict in your relationship mean that it will always be that way and everything you ever said before that was a lie and you're lying about being in love and you've actually been using her this whole time and you will break her heart and you're a bad person because you were faking loving her and you lied and you're a liar

so i just saw obsession

[starvariety]

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

One thing about Obsession (2026) that I enjoyed was that it almost asks you to feel empathy for the entity possessing Nikki as well as the real one. Like, obviously the things she's doing are horrific and fucked up, but I think the scene where Bear is asking her to "just be Nikki!" and she eventually just desperatly screams "I can't be Nikki!" does a really good job of showcasing the entity's inner feelings. She's been created with the sole purpose of loving this guy more than anyone else but no matter how perfect it is or how much he claims to love her, its not her that he loves, its Nikki. And any time she stops pretending to be Nikki, he reacts (albeit rightfully) with disgust and horror. She can't be Nikki because Nikki would never love Bear, and so Bear will never love her.

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)

[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.
