can't you see

After 13 years of this, it's still funny to me that detailing a full mental breakdown on tumblr is standard fare, but posting a nice selfie is a fraught decision.

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.

genuinely seeing a normal, passionate, intelligent woman pour her everything in to some balding missing link feels like witnessing a tragedy. you're alive in a time and place where women can choose NOT to do that, in contrast to the grand majority of female history on this whole planet, and with that framing its lowkey disgraceful to watch

they want to fuck each other so bad it makes them enact increasingly complex crimes against each other in order to prove that they’re actually the one with the power that they’re one DOING the fucking & not the one getting fucked over

Would it be considered “gay” to go for a walk in the evening?

yes like obviously

movies need to start using lower quality cameras. everything feels too real which makes it feel fake which stops it from feeling real

I love my woke nephew
