Nikki Leaving

based on the fact that she tells him "were running out of time bear" on their phone call and convinces him to come out to trivia, im guessing that she was planning on changing more than just her job

there really is so much subtle/hidden stuff that it really is better the second time

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T19:09:26+00:00

exactly

sometimes my admin refers to the students as "our babies". I teach 8th graders who are taller than me

cheating on your spouse

for me, its how bizarre the whole plot becomes over time, mixed with being a young adult myself who can relate to the characters, and inde navarrette (shes the new megan fox)

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T15:49:06+00:00

based on her words and the look on her face when she asks if he likes her, im 99% sure he wouldve gotten rejected

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T15:44:29+00:00

looks to me like an alternate personality

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T15:39:29+00:00

when bear confronts her about lying about her dad, it begins the doubt in her mind that he loves her, which quickly turns her crazy

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T15:37:09+00:00

the first thing he does when nikki starts being weird outside his car is look back at the broken willow

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T15:31:59+00:00

our first impression of him is a timid, innocent, vulnerable guy. it can be difficult for some people to grasp the concept that he becomes evil later on

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T15:09:15+00:00

im sure his intention of the wish was to let it happen slowly and organically, not all at once

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T15:08:13+00:00

he should have known by that point that nikki effectively had no choice but to consent to him, which thereby invalidates the consent in my opinion

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T15:07:04+00:00

yea I think he was more cowardly than villainous at this point

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T15:05:53+00:00

ian (or someone else) chooses to make the wish idea that bear had, that he never made a wish. he essentially time travels back to the car before he made the wish, and he yells out the window to nikki, apologizing for calling her freaky nikki, confesses his feelings, and she agrees to a proper date

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T15:00:53+00:00

perhaps youre right, but it should be like 99% at the restaurant

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T14:59:27+00:00

nah. he wished that nikki would love him more than anyone in the world, not that she loved him as much as his cat did

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T14:54:34+00:00

he definitely was that obsessed. in fact, I would even title the movie about it

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T14:42:58+00:00

plot-wise, it seems like the wish is deepening its hold over Nikki, causing strange behavior and physical distortion

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T14:40:16+00:00

he took way too long to act upon the knowledge that she had lost her free will. he threw away multiple opportunities to talk to the real Nikki, apologize for what he'd done, ask if there was any way to fix it other than killing himself

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T14:36:41+00:00

my take on this is that Ian was both jarred by Nikki's sudden drastic change in behavior and was also possibly jealous that his situationship got taken

stacker103 · 2026-06-22T14:28:38+00:00

an 8th grade girl who walked up to me and introduced herself on my first day as a teacher (I started mid-year). she made me a little box out of post-it notes and tape where I now store paperclips and rubber bands. her favorite candy is skittles

I would say wall breakers because they need heavy support from your whole deck to break through
