Anyway, I'll stop there because this is already getting too muchhahahahaha
That’s just a list of my favourite movies lol.

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.
i've been trying to understand why the director said that nikki wasn't possessed but your explanation of an entity being created, which is very different than demonic possession, makes complete sense. a life created solely to fufill bears wish, fighting for control over a body she shares with the real nikki. literally learning as she goes and the center of her life constantly meets her with discomfort or anger. reminds me a lot of frankenstein and the creature.
This is the worst timeline. (x)
If you do this with my fics, or anyone's fics, please know I HATE you. I hate you more than every troll comment, every "your writing sucks kys" comment, every "update soon" comment. I hate you. Other authors hate you. If you want my fic, you either WAIT for it or you pay me for it. And if you won't do one of those things, you don't deserve my fic or anyone else's.

More spoilery/analyzing thoughts on Clark in Backrooms (2026)
You have been warned!
Brief note: before I saw this movie, I saw a very bad faith review of it. The person basically suggested that the tone of the movie is too hopeless and bleak to possibly enjoy it, which is funny considering they made some very edgy jokes bookending both ends of the review. I’ll spare you those, but I’ll show you what else they wrote.
“1/2 out of 5 stars.
F*** this movie. Everyone dies, life is meaningless, you're a failure and it's your fault. I saved you ten dollars. You're welcome.”
Very lame. Honestly, with this as my first impression, it allowed me to go into the movie with my mind actually turned on, because I didn’t want to have this experience, and I was determined to get more out of it.
With that out of the way…
They wear suits, but they don't even know basic etiquette.

Why do you hate femboy snape tho
It’s not that I hate it per se, but I don’t think it’s necessary.
I don’t think Snape performs classical masculinity or conforms in any way to heteronormative standards of masculinity. I actually think he’s a character who can be read as quite feminine if you’re approaching him from a gender analysis perspective. So I just don’t see any need to turn him into a femboy. I really don’t.
It’s not even as if he’s a character who embodies this stereotypical, traditional masculinity where you’d think, well, I need to feminise him to subvert that. He doesn’t even fit into that category to begin with. And, honestly, I know this is an unpopular opinion, but femboys as a concept often strike me as a very archaic and harmful gender stereotype. Generally speaking, they just don’t do much for me. If it’s a performative identity that certain people genuinely choose to adopt, then fair enough. That’s a different conversation entirely. But when we’re talking about fictional characters, I think it’s much more interesting — and much more disruptive — for a character who doesn’t adhere to heteronormative standards or hegemonic ideals of masculinity to still remain masculine and still be understood as a masculine figure despite not fitting those expectations.
To me, that’s far more subversive than simply saying, well, let’s turn this man into something built around stereotypes of femininity. I just don’t see it.
Arrest me and sentence me for it if you must, but no, I’m sorry, I don’t like it. And it’s not even specifically about Snape. I feel this way about characters in general. Because if we’re going to talk about dismantling gender and challenging rigid ideas of gender performance, then I think part of that disruption also lies in the possibility of existing as a masculine person, identifying with masculinity, without having to perform the hegemonic version of masculinity we’ve all been taught to recognise.
At the same time, I think it’s important that those non-hegemonic forms of masculinity have a place within the masculine spectrum without automatically being recategorised as feminine. Because masculinity shouldn’t have to resemble dominant, socially sanctioned masculinity in order to be recognised as masculinity. And I think there’s something genuinely radical in allowing male characters to occupy that space without feeling the need to redefine them through femininity in order to legitimise their deviation from the norm.
thoughts on book snape? & (if you read the books ofc) which one do you prefer more?
Guys, this isn’t even a question. My Snape is Book Snape, always. One hundred percent. A million percent. Book Snape is incredible.
As for Movie Snape… this is something I’ve said many times before, and I’ll probably repeat another 25000 times. I have a huge amount of respect for Alan Rickman as an actor, because I genuinely think he was phenomenal. I’ve seen him in loads of things — I’m a massive film buff — and I think he was wonderful. But his Snape, to me, feels like a man who walked out of a Brontë novel, whereas Book Snape feels like someone straight out of an Irvine Welsh novel. And I will take the Snape who reminds me of Irvine Welsh a thousand times over. It’s not even a debate.
I have absolutely no attachment to Movie Snape. Whenever I talk about Snape, write about him, or come up with headcanons about him, I’m never thinking about the version from the films. I’m thinking about Book Snape, because he’s magnificent. He’s a working-class man, raised in a shitty neighbourhood, who spends years trying to become part of a reality that fundamentally doesn’t belong to him: the ultra-elitist, aristocratic environment embodied by Slytherin House. But at the same time, traces of that working-class upbringing are still deeply ingrained in him, and he can’t help it. It comes out. Whenever something triggers him, it comes out. When Severus gets triggered, you see that kid from a rough, working-class neighbourhood emerge again. Because that’s where he comes from. He grew up in an industrial town in the 1960s, and even within that industrial town — which in itself is significant — he came from one of its worst areas.
He’s someone who is perpetually socially displaced. He’s constantly trying to belong to a sphere that isn’t truly his. At the same time, he has this fascinating duality: he was raised entirely within the Muggle world, essentially as if he were a Muggle himself, and yet he’s also a wizard. His upbringing was completely Muggle, and that’s not something you can simply erase. It’s wonderful.
I mean, this is a man who referees a Quidditch match and, when things aren’t going the way he wants, starts spitting on the ground. Is there anything more stereotypically working-class-bloke-from-a-rough-neighbourhood than that? It’s basically: I can’t swear because I’m a teacher, so I’ll just spit on the grass instead. It’s glorious.
Rickman’s Snape is sophisticated. Book Snape is not sophisticated at all. He’s someone with massive triggers, who behaves like a brat, who’s incredibly immature at times, and while you can understand why because of the trauma, that doesn’t change the fact that he often acts like a child. He stoops to the level of the students he’s teaching, despite being twenty years older than them. He’s marvellous. He’s like an angry, feral cat.
So yes: Book Snape. Always. I honestly don’t think there should ever be any doubt about that. And he has a sense of humour! Movie Snape comes across as this untouchable figure who’s somehow above it all. Book Snape is an absolute bastard, but he has this awful sense of humour that’s genuinely fantastic. His humour is incredibly dark, deeply ironic, and dripping with sarcasm. Honestly, he’s wonderful.
what i loved about Obsession is that I went in knowing basically nothing, other than having watched a trailer, and it framed the movie as "poor guy too shy to admit his feelings makes a wish that turns the girl he loves into a monster" and as the movie went on i kept feeling more and more uncomfortable with his reactions but, naturally thinking i was supposed to be sympathetic to him, i was trying to rationalise his reactions. thinking that maybe he's in denial about what has happened and that's why he keeps pretending everything is fine. that maybe he's too scared to act out in case the monster inside nikki freaks out and tries to kill him. maybe he doesn't tell anyone because he knows noone will believe him.
and then the real nikki speaks to him. and she begs him to kill her. she is so scared. don't wake her up please dont wake her up just kill me. and bear gets angry. he doesn't even apologise. he doesn't care about nikki's true feelings. he WANTS her to be obsessed with him, he just doesn't want her to do it in such an ugly and inconvenient way. he lashes out at her. "What would be so bad? What's so bad about being with me?".
it has never been about her. if it was, bear wouldn't have been satisfied about living with a girl who's only resemblance to nikki was her body. he turned her life into a living hell. in fact, he turned TWO girl's lives into a living hell. because the entity was miserable too. she was created exclusively to love a person who would never love her back. who never cared about her.
and he never once considers how it affected nikki. he gets scared of the entity acting weird and creepy but the moment the real nikki begs him for a shred of sympathy, for just a bit of mercy. he doesn't care. he only cares about the fact she won't reciprocate his feelings. he only cares about how she can satisfy him.
it was the turning point of the movie that made me realise that there was never any justifying his actions. it re-contextualises everything. he was content with nikki's suffering as long as it brought him pleasure. as long as it soothed his ego. as long as it was convenient. and for as much as he talked about being in love with her, all he cared about was her body. the entity was an entirely different girl, all she had was nikki's face and body. if he ever truly loved nikki like he claimed, he would have been deeply disturbed by the personality change. but he never was. he was only ever disturbed by the creepy things specifically. but the palatable changes? the way she talks, the way she expresses herself, what she does in her free time, how she dresses? all of that was gone. different. a whole new person. yet he didn't give a single fuck.
up until that point in the movie, i thought that maybe he was acting weird because this was an extremely abnormal situation that he didn't know how to get out of. that he was scared. that maybe there's an explanation there. but no, there isnt. the only explanation is that bear was the real monster all along.
am I like the only one who thinks Snape is so obvi a fucking sub like no I don't want him to pin me over a desk or pull my hair while I suck him off or maybe I just like submissive men
Clark saying the creatures don't feel anything and then later in the same scene the woman anomaly is seen attempting to run away from the pirate, seemingly in fear. Something something devaluation of life seen as different than him.
