“Why are you watching it again? You already know what happens.” Because The Character is in there, bro. THE CHARACTER

i am once again experiencing urges and desires

y’all thinking this is a horny post but it’s about violence actually

Mentally I'm at the farmer's market with the love of my life, buying fresh fruits and vegetables 🥺

if i think too hard about nikki’s experience in Obsession i feel physically ill. imagine one second you’re just walking up to your house after a night out, and then the next, you’re looking out of your own body, but you’re not longer in control. you’re a prisoner to a terrible, unnatural version of yourself that only exists because of a choice someone else made. when you scream, nobody listens. when you claw your way out for long enough to explain that this isn’t you, nobody listens. when you beg the man who trapped you in this situation to put and end to it, to set your free, he just. doesn’t. listen. and then when you do finally regain control, all your friends are dead, and you are covered in their blood. because of a choice someone else made

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.

the "my favorite character did nothing wrong" mindset is completely unappealing to me because i love thinking about all the things my favorite characters did wrong

I would've done numbers as a medieval fool.

”Protect the kids!” Unless they’re queer, trans, intersex, non-white, then you suddenly don’t give a shit about the kids.

nonchalance turns me off so badly. give me obsession on the brink of depravity or give me nothing

The psychological thriller of figuring out what you want and what you’re going to do about it

Why is making friends so vulnerable like hey. You made a positive impact on my life when you said that thing. Is that okay? Do you think I'm weird?
