Wish! Nikki having a deep resonance with anyone who has bpd and has watched the film really makes me think about the dog metaphors. I see Wish!Nikki as a young dog who’s tragically and fatally ill. She could’ve had hope to be happy, but every part of her is breaking down from the inside to the point where I genuinely think that there’s no greater mercy than her being freed from existing with Bear’s death. The only way for her to be happy is if she was fundamentally different. She could be happy if she wasn’t the center of a tragedy
#I feel so much sympathy and compassion for her but in that same breath her entire existence is suffering#wish!nikki can’t connect with any part of what makes a person a human. she has no drives or passions#she’s an absolute shell made from the scraps of Nikki that could be salvaged and the habits of Bear all acting the best they can to perform#as human#wish! Nikki could not enjoy a sunset or laugh at a book. she can’t feel that kind of love for existence because all of her love is funneled#into romance and channeled at one sole target#she reminds me of how dogs still wag their tails with broken jaws and tennis balls in their mouth#or how a dog starts to die from sickness with their legs giving out. even if you carry them around and they enjoy a moment or two of running#by your side. it’s no way to live#yapping#obsession spoilers#obsession movie spoilers#obsession 2026#obsession#obsession movie analysis#wish!nikki#nikki freeman#nikki obsession#not!nikki#honeystar
