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

[bubzys-bubabalooza]

A fact about queer history I love that mostly gets neglected is that (to my knowledge) the first subsect's of the LGBT community to make their own community specific flags were the bears and polyamorous people, and by like 3 or 4 years too.

Like isn't that really cool. Shout-out to all the bears and poly people, your contributions to this community often go unnoticed but I love you.

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.

the thing is bear doesn’t even really know nikki. they’ve been “friends” for a long time but he barely even listens to her, he didn’t even question her concern for her dad’s cancer when Ian and Sarah both immediately poked holes in not!Nikki’s story. all the shots of Nikki obscured in darkness showing not only is she Not there but also she’s never been there, bear has never seen her. only the silhouette of her life on his. and if the one wish willow could puppeteer her husk more seamlessly, he’d be satisfied with the shell of her…

[samisasoup]

His name being Bear. Her seeing him as a brother, and then the Hansel and Gretel story. Him not wanting to cancel the wish when he thought he could, just alter it. The soundtrack. The sunshine necklace and "Nikki would hate that" and then she stops leaving his house during the day. Everytime she freaks out after coming back into her own body. Him not caring. Fake Nikki making things up. "Is being with me so bad?" I love this movie so much Curry Barker you are a genius.

[succubixchz]

The 2 biggest movies right now and 2 of the best horror movies of the last decade being about men destroying everyone and not caring until they destroy themselves to get what they want is SO FIRE

MORE PLEASE

[succubixchz]

Love love love love LOVE Curry Barker for making it abundantly clear that you can't be a Bear defender without also being a rape apologist

The fact that during the making of the film he kept getting feedback saying "Bear isn't likeable enough" "Bear doesn't try to break the curse enough" and each time he made him more and more unlikeable just to get the point across

Genuinely my king

[brightorangelover]

i have thoughts and feelings. all them towards killing bear.

[tildexart]

i love the hansel and gretel scene so much. it speaks to me as someone who was a middle school girl who had mostly guy friends. the amount of times my peers, teachers, even parents asked if i had a crush on my friends or implied that i wanted to date them even though we were just friends? completely awful. and when one of these friends did confess their feelings for me, i felt sick to my stomach.

i love this scene because of how true it is. like bear wishing for nikki to like him, the poem is showing boundaries being crossed and how uncomfortable that can be, especially when the relationship is not meant to be romantic. yea, i may be a girl (eh, female presenting) friends with guys, but trying to force us into a romantic relationship does feel like being told i should sleep with a brother. yea, this scene is great.

Obsession Movie Spoilers / Analysis

Sarah being tied up and naked, legs tied open, and a shell of herself, is what Freaky Nikki believes what Bear likes because he is using Nikki without her consent/ she isn’t there.

Nikki threatens to shoot herself in the vagina and actually pulls it out of there and limps. Because he cares about having sex with her, not her as a human being. It also emphasizes that the demon associates her vagina with violence bc of Bear’s SA on nikki

[vampireistic]

i absolutely love how nikki is nearly always bathed in shadow (whether it’s fully in the dark or with a single light behind her with her as the faceless darkness). she’s quite literally become a shadow of her former self. no autonomy, no personal thoughts or emotions, just a carved image of what bear desired.

[succubixchz]

If I see one more person talking about "Obsession is a movie about how love makes you crazy" or "I see no problem with Nikki I want a hot obsessive mommy" I'm gonna have to get locked away

[ceruleanheaven]

nikki begging bear to kill her and all he does is ask whats so bad about being with him. one of the most nauseating scenes ive ever witnessed
