Spoilers] My thoughts on 'Obsession': Bear is the ultimate villain
Tw: Mentions of abuse, assault
So, I’ve seen Obsession twice now, and honestly, I really enjoyed it. It’s well-acted, beautifully shot, and tightly edited. However, the more I think about the narrative, the more disgusted I am by the main character.
I actually felt bad for Bear at the very beginning. He’s nervous, wants to tell Nikki he’s into her, and is completely unsure if the wish even worked. At that point, you could almost argue he thought the whole "wish thing" was BS and truly believed she might feel the same way.
But the exact moment he lost me completely was after he talks to his friend. The moment he hears that Nikki actually saw him as a brother and he still chooses to sleep with her anyway, any benefit of the doubt goes out the window. Even if Sarah & Ian lied about what Nikki said, who would want to risk it? Bear will never know but he doesn't freaking care.
You would think that if a friend tells you your crush saw you as a sibling, the decent, selfless thing to do would be to immediately try and undo the wish. Instead, Bear takes advantage of her.
Because Nikki is under a spell, she cannot legally or emotionally consent. It makes that entire sequence incredibly uncomfortable to watch; Nikki’s face was haunting, and she looked completely numb. What makes Bear a true villain is his staggering selfishness. When he finally calls the wish hotline, he doesn't ask to cancel the spell right away. Instead, he tries to alter it so he can still get what he wants, just with a tweak to how Nikki is acting.
My heart broke for Nikki the entire time. I'm not entirely sure if she ever had feelings for him before the spell. Sarah mentions that Nikki friendzoned him, but I honestly thought Nikki looked a bit disappointed earlier in the film when Bear called her a "good friend."
It’s entirely possible she might have developed genuine feelings for him over time on her own. But Bear robbed her of that agency. Every single intimate encounter was a form of assault because her free will was stripped away. To make matters worse, she eventually has to snap out of the spell covered in blood—all because of his fragile ego. He never once stopped to think about what Nikki actually wanted until it blew up in his face.
Nikki literally begs him to kill her because she is in so much misery. I really wish the film had given us a few scenes from Nikki’s POV. What was happening inside her mind? Was she trapped in a frozen state, forced to watch and feel everything like a passenger in her own body? Was she experiencing a living hell? I think exploring that horror would have made the film even stronger. Ultimately, Bear got exactly what he deserved. He had one final chance to end the nightmare, but he backed out.
It’s poetic justice that "Nikki" making her own wish was the only way he finally faced consequences. Despite how heavy the themes are, I had a great time with this movie. It perfectly nailed the ultimate message: be careful what you wish for.
And I would say because of the wish & lack of respect for Nikki, Bear killed his friends. He is to blame. No one would have died if he just told Nikki how he felt & just didn't make the wish What did you guys think of the ending? Did anyone else interpret Nikki's pre-spell feelings differently?
8.5/10 ⭐️
edit: Lets not forget wish Nikki lied about the real Nikki's dad having cancer & once he confronts her, she throws a fit like a child and he goes, "no biggie" he thinks he hooks up with her when its actually SA.
She lies about cancer, cooks a cat, kills a friend, and all he does is scold her like a child?! But as someone rightfully pointed out, the title works both ways for sure. Wish Nikki is obsessed with Bear but all of this started because of Bear's crush. He thinks he is in love but its actually obsession because if he truly loved her, he'd do everything in his power to not gamble with her consent and agency.

Did anyone catch this?
You know the Dancing Through Life library scene? Did you notice when that librarian shushes Fiyero and he picks her up to set her on the bookshelf, he accidentally places her a bit too hard right on top of some books? It looks like her backside gets a pretty solid bump, but she stays completely unbothered and just looks smitten.
I’m dying to know if that was intentional or a happy accident! If it was scripted/choreographed then it’s a brilliant character detail. It shows that Fiyero is so incredibly charming that she doesn't even care that he just accidentally shoved her into a stack of hardbacks. If Jonathan Bailey misjudged the lift then the actress deserves a massive raise & praise. If it were me, I'd show reaction🤣😂.
But if it was on accident, she stayed in character so flawlessly that she unintentionally added this hilarious extra layer to the scene, proving Fiyero's effect on people and how charming he is. He can accidentally hurt someone and that person is so in awe, he can get away with it.🤣😂
Has anyone seen any interviews or behind-the-scenes confirmation about whether this was on purpose or a blooper they kept in?

I retired this fanfiction quite some time ago to prepare for its official publication on Amazon. However, I’ve decided to provide a link to the original manuscript document here for your enjoyment. Please feel free to save or share it; it remains one of my personal favorite projects.
In addition to the Amazon release, I have been working on making the story available through Diarmi, an online book service. For those who prefer reading digital copies, check it out on that platform, please be aware that the final two chapters contain mature content. If "spicy" scenes or smut aren't your preference, you can simply skip Chapters 42 and 43.
The core plot remains exactly the same, and you won’t miss any vital story beats by bypassing them. Because of these scenes, Diarmi automatically applies a "Mature" rating to the title, but please note that those are the only two explicit sections in the entire book. The fic and Amazon versions are clean.
You’re mine. Say it again
I'm yours
