>>220884939
>$200m in the box office on a shoe string budget and getting glowing reviews across the board.
Irrelevant. MCU movies made lots of money too. Based on your logic they are the gold standard of filmmaking.

Haven't seen it, but judging by the hyperbolic praise it's getting from film twitter, reddit, imdb and letterboxd, I'm just gonna assume it's at best mediocre or at worst dogshit.

I liked it a lot
The fact that half of the posts saying the movie was bad are incel rants about beta orbiters, stacies, used goods, etc proves that there's not much to hate about this movie

>>220884951
MCU movies have a $750,000 budget, no name actors, get positive reviews from actual critics and audiences, and are directorial debuts from a Youtuber?

>>220884962
This is how I felt walking into it. Exactly how I felt. I was prepared for overrated sloppa. Couldn't have been more impressed with what I saw considering my expectations.

It's an 8/10 but the director has a nice personal story and it came out at the same time as something really soulless so it's getting gassed a bit much
I really enjoyed it but it's not like an all time classic, just a nice movie

>>220884976
>MCU movies have a $750,000 budget, no name actors, get positive reviews from actual critics and audiences, and are directorial debuts from a Youtuber?
Again, irrelevant. You are saying "if it makes money it's good".

>>220884621
Also the movie pretty explicitly shows it's not actually her, with her sometimes regaining control, the guy on the phone saying something like "do you want to talk to her" (while we hear crying voices in the background), and her literally saying to the protag that the thing is asleep and it's a separate entity.

It didn't not make her love him in any way. The stated wish wasn't granted in any way. She was just replaced by something else.

>>220884999
I think Obsessions strength is it's honesty in it's filmmaking. It doesn't treat the audience like an idiot, it's shot well, wonderfully acted, and has a simple and relatable premise that never goes too far in the supernatural direction that it loses it tone.

I literally was waiting for them to do a scene where Nikki walks on the ceiling like a spider and shit on the tone, and they never do. Just creepy reversed shots.

>>220884579
Kino, It has a good concept.And just takes it to an extreme which is how horror should be, in my opinion.

Tired of everybody wanting horror movies to have a thesis message

>>220885022
Then why go through all this "wish" and "love" stuff? We clearly see scenes of her being overly obsessed and overly in love with him so Bear was clearly getting his wish (before things went too far).
Ian wished for a billion dollars and got it so clearly the "wish" aspect is real.

>>220884579
It's misandrist propaganda

>>220885029
I agree the tonal balance was perfect. They never get indulgent with what this demon thing is actually capable of and what we do see isn't even necessarily in universe

>>220885003
No, I said it was good prior because of it's great lighting. It's successful because it's good and word of mouth. It has done better every weekend since release. That is unheard of. Those are E.T. numbers. You're just a seething faggot who's only identity is hating on what's popular meanwhile you don't even understand lighting or shot composition

>>220885053
>Then why go through all this "wish" and "love" stuff?
Because that's the movie they wanted to sell? Or maybe it was the original idea and changed through production.
>We clearly see scenes of her being overly obsessed and overly in love with him so Bear was clearly getting his wish (before things went too far).
>her
Why would you assume it's her when the only confirmation either way is that it isn't?
Ian seems to have got what he wished for, but the movie being inconsistent isn't my fault.

>>220885091
>, I said it was good prior because of it's great lighting
Nothing great about it. Too dark and looks like other modern films.
>You're just a seething faggot who's only identity is hating on what's popular meanwhile you don't even understand lighting or shot composition
You're basing an entire film on money and what other people think of it. You can't even explain why you like it other than "lighting is good" (which it isn't)

>>220885114
>Why would you assume it's her when the only confirmation either way is that it isn't?
Then why is this tree demon even trying to pretend to love him? But then in other scenes she's crazy?
>but the movie being inconsistent isn't my fault.
I know, that's why it's a shit movie.

Do you think you could date Freaky Nikki without everyone getting murdered? Seems pretty easy. All you have to do is:

1. Don't make her jealous.
2. Reciprocate her love.
3. Don't freak out when she acts weird.

As cute as she is, this seems like a very low bar to clear.

>>220885133

>>220885022
>It didn't not make her love him in any way. The stated wish wasn't granted in any way. She was just replaced by something else.
I feel like this is just a wish granter issue. Love me more than anyone in the world. Okay, in the world? Her free will is replaced and that becomes a seperate personality in and of itself, a reflection of Bear's ideas of "love". Remember that conversation they had at the start where she talks about writing a love story and Bear says, romance, and she says no. This wish is a reflection of Bear's concepts of love (a guy who pined after the same girl for years doing nothing about it) mixed with the issue of "more than anyone in the world". Then repressed Nikki started coming out, creating even more drama because Wish Nikki couldn't bear to be her own person. Wish Nikki is breaking the boundaries between people (she literally said her cat had died when it was Bear's). The issue is around what is the concept of love here we are talking about as well as the classic wish problem.

The scene where he calls the customer service number on the back of the box was so fucking good. I have to watch it again, but when he asks if Bear wants to speak to Nikki and you hear her screaming on the phone, you can also hear Nikki screaming from inside the house.

>>220884621
>this leads to the girl feeding him his dead cat and pissing herself when he's not around, that's totally what love mean
The book she's writing excerpt she reads at the party is quite telling, it is all about consumption, forbidden love and incest (because Real Nikki probably saw Bear like a brother, this love was not meant to happen etc). Obsessed love can manifest in wanting to be in someone's skin. And as a reflection of love it builds weirdly. Bear loved his cat so she wanted a piece of that love inside of him. Vampires, vore and all that shit is expressions of that sort of consumption. He wanted her to love him more than anyone in the world, it created a scale issue.

>>220885216
>Bear loved his cat so she wanted a piece of that love inside of him.
The dumbest shit I've ever read. AI isn't event his fucking bad.

>>220885130
>Then why is this tree demon even trying to pretend to love him? But then in other scenes she's crazy?
again, the movie being inconsistent isn't my fault. But it's probably because it's movie and they wanted some pacing. If you want an in world explanation maybe the demon is trying to follow the rules of the wish macguffin, and it's misunderstanding of human sensibilities gets more apparent with time, or maybe the demon gets worse at keeping it together.
>>220885152
>more than anyone in the world
could strictly mean two things.
1. more than she already loves anyone else.
2. more than anyone already loves him.
, neither of which, is the same as being replaced by a demon.
>This wish is a reflection of Bear's concepts of love
this read reads like coping to me, trying to justifiy it and make it seems deeper to the sort of person who'd care to justify it. It's not solidly enforced, and doesn't strike me as good or interesting either way.

movie woul dhave been better if their novelty toy didn't work. like if nikki was just crazy. i don't even get why everyone in the world doesn't make the money wish?

>>220885231
He is literally right. Can you go back to complaining about the lighting and zoomers. Intellectuals are having an actual discussion about film here

>>220885271
He didn't want to eat his cat you fucking retard. His crazy obsessed girlfriend thought he wanted to be with his cat forever. It's why she made that shrine for it on his kitchen floor. Either you didn't even watch the film or you're an actual idiot. Imagine needing themes of a film explained to you like a child

>>220885282
>I never said it was your fault.
Stop excusing me. I made shit movie.

>>220885291

So she fed him the cat....which would go through his digestive system in a few hours and exit his body soon after? That is being with the cat "forever"? You are simping for this shit so hard that it's sad.

>>220885237
>could strictly mean two things.
More than anyone in the world. Himself included, any potential future people. It just creates a wish scale problem.
>this read reads like coping to me
Not really, that's projection on your part. It is partly what the film is about. The whole start is that does she like me/doesn't she like me, reflecting on every comment she says, second guessing things. But what is Bear's idea of love? The man lets his cat die because he didn't throw out or secure grandma's pills, throws it out in the crash, cries, then as soon as she calls pretends like nothing had happened.
>make it seems deeper
Anon, I am not doing that. I just feel like you just want to throw out shit like projection or cope. I am not saying it is "too deep 4 you" or the best film ever. Just that some of those themes and ideas were there.

>>220885231

>>220885357
>I read it. It reads like chatgpt, but I'm going to assume it wasn't.
not that bot. And I think sure you're right. Notice how much they use the specific names, including Ian, which I guess is what the fat friend was called. That strikes me as being trained on script-outlines, and possibly positive comments by redditors and the like.

>>220885997
Do you even need to have been? Bear was clearly a social recluse who has very little experience with women or connecting with others. He didn't even want to leave his depression bubble in his room when his cat died, and only knew Nikki because they work together. He wasn't out meeting chicks

>>220885315

I've already won. This movie was shit and you are so can't accept that fact.

>>220884941
>They could have just had her get possessed or replaced
That would have been an entirely different movie. From what I remember it's something like "I want her to love me more than anything in the world". The wording definitely leaves it open for a monkey paw style misinterpretation where the love she feels is all-consuming and destroys her sanity. It absolutely works for the movie, and it's not even a particularly original concept. I bet you watched Freaky Friday and said "Uhhh they didn't ask to swap bodies, what a dumb movie".

tl;dr: ur a dumbass

>>220886268
>The wording definitely leaves it open for a monkey paw style misinterpretation where the love she feels is all-consuming and destroys her sanity. I
How would it destroy her sanity to the point of feeding him his dead cat, retard? And according to other anons it's not Nikki, it's a willow tree demon.

>>220886268
Supposedly that's what it was setting out to do. But it's not what the movie is.

You can't even read one short sentence and understand it, you absolute mongoloid. There are real life women that will show up at their ex's workplace to make a fucking scene and throw shit at the walls. They're extreme cases but they exist. From that knowledge, what seems so out of place about ONE woman feeding some guy his own cat when she's quite literally under the influence of evil magic?

It doesn't make sense in the movie because she's supposed to love him. The other guy wished for a billion dollars and got it. Why does the other guy get a gf that feeds him his dead cat?

>guy wishes for gf to love him lots

The entire wish thing is bullshit within the frame of the movie. You will just accept anything on the screen. They could have had outrageous moments from Nikki that made sense.

>>220886578
Yeah. I'm not going to praise a movie for being visually dark in the context of current movies. MAYBE it uses in a slightly more aware way than most, but another movie might use a flat watered down image in a similar way, and I'd be pretty careful to praise that openly even if it did strike me as a genius use of it. And this movie did not approach anywhere near making me consider that.

Ian got his billion dollars. Barker talked about maybe doing a one off 10 episode show where it's an anthology where each episode has someone wish for something different. Could work. I think the One Wish Willow is kinda cool in concept

Why was Bear keeping his cat in a garbage bag instead of the fridge? Why was his medicine cabinet full of prescription pills? Why was unwilling to kill himself despite it costing all 3 of his friends lives? Because you pedantic retard. It's a film with its own universe and setting. Quit trying to nitpick about such retarded shit when it's a horror film with supernatural elements.

You don't think there's some psychopathic lunatic out there in an insane asylum who's in love with someone in a super deranged way? Well because of Bear's wording, Nikki loves him more than that person loves the target of their affections.

>>220887445
I saw the movie yesterday at a matinee with a buddy and I whispered to him "if they hard cut to a sex scene and it's fucked up I'll bust out laughing" and sure enough. This film was so good at that shit, the nudity and sex was anything but erotic in this film. We see full on bush and booba and it's a dead body splayed out in a chair with a caved in face. Only booba and vagoogoo in the entire film.

>I wish for a billion dollars
Okay here is a billion dollars created out of thin air and dropped right in front of you.
>I wish she loved me
Erm sorry but instead of triggering dopamine chemicals whenever she looks at you, we actually replaced her consciousness with some mentally deficient demon. Also btw, we actually did not even fully replace her, she is locked up in mental jail hell and sometimes she can escape and control her body too and act even crazier lol.

Really?

Let's break this down. What's the actual request?

>"I wish she loved me more than anything in the entire world"

She doesn't and cannot.

>Therefore someone else will have to satisfy the wish requirement

She becomes possessed by a spirit in order to fulfill it. We don't know anything about the spirit, truly, but it is FOR Bear, and based on his idea of love.

>His idea of love is possessive, obsessive, and demanding.

We are shown multiple times that he is okay with her behavior, just not the creepy aspects. This is a reflection of his character! This tells you, directly and indirectly, something is not okay with him.

>movie already has a dedicated thread schizo

You love your mom more than anybody in the entire world and that does not automatically make you a deranged psycho that does not understand human behavior.

>>220888564
comedy and horror are basically the same thing just different flavors. understanding timing, pacing, subversion of expectations, etc are all important in regards to both.

>>220888761
>>220889006
>>220889045
Magic demons are real, but love isn't. Ok, but then the story isn't about "being careful what you wish for" or "it's his idea of love". It's "Don't wish or want for anything (if you're male) or something unrelated that is bad will happen"
>>220889045
Why are you putting in quotes what's not a quote? Is it because the real quote is much closer in both spirit, effect, reality, and letter to what the person you're replying to said, and you don't like that because he's right?

>>220888838
>We are shown multiple times that he is okay with her behavior, just not the creepy aspects. This is a reflection of his character! This tells you, directly and indirectly, something is not okay with him.
No we are not. We are shown that he is not okay with any of it but he goes along because as the movie also shows, he is a coward. Would you say the same to abuse victims?
>Erm you acted all happy around people with your spouse and never left him, so you must have been okay with it
He is in a state of constant terror and fear, just look at when he tries to stand up for himself and go to the party alone, he is beaten into submission because he is a coward. He is deeply afraid of what this demon would do and he was right for being afraid seeing as it kills his friends.

>>220889192
They made it. Is it impossible to make the actor say what story they wanted to tell required him to say?

I was surprised how good it was, usually when I go to the cinema to see a horror movie it's overrated shit. Maybe it's because I expected the same here to a degree, but I really enjoyed it. I feel like the sound did a lot of heavy lifting to make the rest of it work so I'm curious if it'll still land outside a theatre where the sound might not give the same experience.

If he said something along the lines of
>i wish she loved me a completely healthy amount
then there wouldnt be a movie
>more than anyone
is important because it means herself as well. Your love for yourself and well being is one of the things that stops you from self destructing. Bear in her world is above anything and everything. I would unironically expect that wish to play out almost exactly as it did in the movie in real life. Its not like there arent examples of absolute loons irl that have killed people they love because of some "if i cant have you nobody can" or getting so fucked up in the head that killing their partner is a favor if they get sick/think that death is better than whats current.

Either way, you cant wish for someone to love you, male or female. Its extremely selfish, short sighted and strips away the agency of the other person. You dont know what someones like until youve lived with them. If at any point you stop loving them once you realize one thing or the other you have doomed that person to pine after you until death. Even if she didnt get replaced by a demon and acted like someone just madly in love rather than a murderous psycho, if they break up shes going to be a thorn in his side every waking moment going forward.

>>220889477
I think the concept being so simple and straight forward while never going to far into the supernatural territory does a lot of heavy lifting. Honestly the most supernatural part of the film is when he calls the number on the back of the box. For that alone, I think it'll still be a good watch without the theater experience. Most horror films have truly slop plots, or go too far up their own ass trying to sell their supernatural element.

You know that is a great point you're making. It explains why she is willing to self harm when she thinks she can't enough for Bear. Or why she is wearing Sarah's clothes and had drawn her tattoos on her own body. Everything was the appeal to him. Even when he fucks her. She does nothing but lay there and take it. All for him. Nothing for herself. Pretty dark.

Because the film is actually incredibly well made and fresh. The success of this movie indicates total millennial suicide in film at least. This shed light on just how fucking sick and tired everyone but faggots are of pure corpo slop that has dialogue written by a freak. This movie gives me hope that we are going to finally have a return to better media in all forms in general. It will be slow of course but at least it's happening.

The outburst at the party could've been easily avoided if Bear made Nikki sit on his lap. A normal thing couples do when at parties.

What kind of boyfriend picks a recliner to sit on and makes his girlfriend sit away from him. I feel bad for Wish Nikki because she was trying and Bear was being a distant asshole.

It does? The camera work was fine, but it still looked like the digital "too dark + orange" shit that comes out all the time.

But you just said "well made = camera work only".
>script writing
This was the shittiest part. It was a basic "be careful what you wish for" monkey paw story only they fucked it up because most people think Nikki was replaced with a demon but even the directors says no to that.
>and fresh as in it was executed with precision and without gimmicky shit to interrupt what it was going for.
That doesn't make it "fresh". "Fresh" = a new idea or a new take on an idea. This was neither.

Women are literally incapable of understanding this movie because it involves a woman who commits murder and therefore they will never ever find a way to blame her or see any evil within her. They will just claim Bear is the real murderer and also a rapist, as if he ever expected his relatively harmless wish to come true let alone turn out so grotesque

>>220890972
This looked better in the theater I saw it in. You literally couldn't see her in that corner, and that reversed shot where she goes back to the corner? So kino. I loved those shots because they didn't reverse her talking, just her movements.

Adam YMS watched it and said this was a massive leap from anything he's done before

>>220889627
I agree that's a good quality of the film, but I don't know that it really makes it in the same way that the sound does. I can still see it being solid outside of the theatre, but without a good sound system I can definitely see the impact being considerable lessened because I was often impressed by the sound.

Couldn't believe how hard Adam sucked off the film. Thought for sure he'd be the one critic I actually follow that would bag on it

>>220891022
I think you can excuse his making the wish but his moral backbone is, at minimum, questionable when it gets to the point where he can clearly see something is wrong with her but clings to the relationship anyway. I think a lot of what else he does could be forgiven a bit if his reaction to the real Nikki asking to be killed wasn't the pity party about him being undesirable, but at that point it's hard to excuse him.

It is nice that its easy to tell who didnt watch the movie when they try to turn it into monkeys paw situation

I like Adam because he's not afraid to like something or hate something, he doesn't just whine about how everyone sucks or consoom product

>>220891833
What's he supposed to do though, he can't exactly break up with her. I agree with your last point but still if you think about it his options are let it happen or he murders his girlfriend and goes to prison and everyone hates him.

>>220891721
Maybe true. But it's still has story problems. Just like Substance. But Substance at least had a look and style that stood out.

>>220891968
The only gay furfag I can stomach on this planet

Obsession gets a 0/10 from me, "imagine if an attractive woman loved you". I don't find that very scary.

>>220891987
He could have tried to get someone else to make a wish with him a lot earlier, or tried explaining it to someone he trusted like Sarah. The closest he gets to almost saving Nikki is when he does do that with Ian at the end but at that point a significant amount of damage was done because he preferred to stay with her despite being fed his cat, having his door duct-taped and all the other obviously off shit she had done.

I even think you could maybe excuse him a bit if when the real Nikki asked him to kill her he tried but was just too cowardly to do it, but the thing that indicates the part of his character that is more selfish than it is just cowardly is that he doesn't even try because he's hurt by the idea of Nikki not wanting to be with him. That he did that says it all because it's why he never even tried. It's harder to give him the benefit of the doubt and say there's nothing he could do about it when he wasn't even trying to do anything about it for much of the story and was pushing back against the idea that anything was wrong with her when anyone else had any chance of finding out. Even when he does reach the point where he recognizes that enough is enough it doesn't take him long to think to go back to get another wish so it's not like it was beyond him to think to at least try to get another wish if he really wanted to put and end to it.

>>220892138
He is absolutely selfish. He backs on killing himself twice, and when he calls the customer service hotline, he tries to change the context of his wish first instead of outright canceling it. He still wanted to control Nikki. He unironically thought "I can fix her"

>>220891987
Kill himself.

Through pure happenstance I have watched a number of films recently which critique men's misogynistic tendencies in both subtle and overt ways as they try to control and objectify the women in their lives, however, I have noticed that each and every one of these films, Obsession being among them, is written and directed by a man. What is the meaning of this?

/tv/ before /pol/ and if they didn't know this was made by a zoomer YouTuber would be glazing the fuck out of this film. Now you guys have contrarian syndrome

I think the movie was a really good horror, but the script and narrative is nothing too special. I think it deserves credit for pacing itself way and working well with the horror, but the story itself is just fine. I don't think there's anything wrong with it being simple, I'd even say it benefits it in many ways, but it is a bit weird that I've seen some people say it's an amazing story.

I think it's just a testament to how far telling a story well goes, because the happenings of Obsession's story may be pretty stock, but it is well told.

There was a black guy at Ian's party, and there was a gay guy where you least expect it.

This shit is a psyop to usher in younger directors that have no creative voice.
The bar is so unimaginably low that we are getting obsessive soc egirl movies and x backrooms posts.
Whats next? Gay romance dramas off b and Muh bro lifting culture mockumentary off fit?

As opposed to all of the current studio-picked directors, who have no soul?

a well paced, well told. simple and competent movie is about as rare as it gets now adays. some zoomers might have honestly never seen anything like it

>>220892138
I don't recall the specifics but he doesn't find out about this sunken place nikki dynamic til later. I mean you can be a twitter radfem about it but no man or woman is turning down the person of their dreams being in love with them and at least not instantly. It's really important for films to get past this puritan twitter morality stuff so we can get more films that are honest

>>220892263
The happy ending is he doesn't take the pills and him and nikki stay in wishlove

I would eat her shit.

>>220892616
He doesn't find about there being the real Nikki in some hell dimension or whatever until later, but he obviously knew something was amiss with her for a while before that. I think up to the point of there being that montage of them being happy together he could maybe rationalize it away a bit, though even then that assumes he would be willing to overlook his longtime friend suddenly behaving nothing like herself, including digging up his dead cat and making a shrine out of it. Even removing the wish from the equation if someone you knew and cared about seemed to be going through some mental episode, as it seemed she was to everyone else, and you used that as an opportunity to fuck her then it would reflect pretty poorly on you.

I will say that I think there's a flipside to that where it's reductive to make Baron out to be some uber-evil, malice-driven rape lover who cares for nothing other than turning a woman he's supposed to care about into his personal fucktoy, because it does begin innocuous enough before it reaches a point where he knows that things are awry and has to confront it, but even so, when he does reach that point his decision is to keep it going even knowing that that's not really Nikki and even knowing how manic this Nikki is. You don't need to be a radical feminist to acknowledge what the film sits right in front of you.

In an interview, Clive mentions wording, intent and mindset is seemingly factored into the wish as well.
In the context the guy is trying to show how bullshit the thing is and just wishes for something comically impossible but impossible. And thus, you get the money shower. The willow proved it works to the guy, it gives the guy what he wanted with no strings attached (kinda, have fun explaining that shit to the IRS, lol), and makes Bear look like a jackass.
Bear's wish, much like Bear himself. Is just fucked across the board.

All that matters a the end of the day for any story, horror or not, is how well executed it is. True originality does not exist and hasn't existed for many, many decades now if not centuries.

Remember how much Tolkien actually borrowed from Beowulf despite LOTR itself being considered the blueprint for modern fantasy.

Star Wars was a pastiche of Akira Kurosawa films (especially The Hidden Fortress), Eastern Spirituality and Flash Gordon film serials and yet is way more known and beloved than anything that inspired it.

Many Tarantino films are a rip off of some obscure Hong Kong or other East Asian film he watched while he was working at the video store in the 80s. I'm sure there are many more examples of famous stories you love that you thought was the first of its kind when it actually borrowed more heavily from prior works than you might've thought.

Women be crazy.
Thats literally iy

>>220892864
Oh please dude. This plays like a tales from the crypt, twilight zone, or some other type story from eons ago. Its really not hard to be original but this movie doesnt have to be and STILL gets interwebz up vote of approval because its "indie"

>>220892864
Nobody's making wholly original works, but there are still varying degrees of novelty from one to another. Even in the case of a famous derivative work like Star Wars, where its Kurosawa influence is pretty well-known at this stage, I'd say Star Wars carved out a pretty distinct identity for itself in the ways it did differentiate itself with its vastly different setting or creating iconic visuals and characters. It would be too much to expect any story to come out that is totally unlike anything anybody has ever conceived of before, but there's still a gradient to how much originality something can have.

>>220892940
>This plays like a tales from the crypt, twilight zone
Yeah and that's probably why it resonates with people. Those were good horror anthologies. Any time someone calls a horror film an extended Twilight Zone episode it's usually considered a compliment.

How was the customer support guy able to broadcast the real Nikki over the phone?

Wrong Barker.

>>220892754
most people point to the diner scene as confirming that he now internalizes the wish came true - I believe he asks her verbatim his wish "do you love me more than anyone in the world" which she confirms.
My problem with that is just from the text presented it's not clear that he understands the mental enslavement implications of the wish which is kind of important in evaluating his character. True, he doesn't interrogate it and indulges his desire under willful delusional pretext but also later still have him asking questions like "is her love real" and tries to cancel it which makes for a more interesting character portrait of his flaws and obsession imo.
like overlooking the dead cat, or the red flags in the montage > yeah, his sense of self and love must indeed be pretty warped and fucked up to indulge that huh but rooted in a human kind of pain and emotional immaturity.

>>220893459
I guess you need to answer how much moral weight do you place on lying, because most of his actions, even charitably, still result from lying to himself to ignore others' needs.

>>220893433
Ah. Lol.
Been listening to too much jazz lately.

FUCK NIKKI.

I'm still not sure why he didn't check what was in that sandwich... like any prime reasons as to why?!

>>220893399
How was the wish able to even work? Those are the questions you just don't ask.

How did Bear's chubby friend manage to fuck a 9/10?
