No Thomas, please.

Nosferatu is a bi icon honestly. He could have easily killed Thomas before he left. Honestly a polycule could have fixed everything imo

I once had a narcissist try to tell me not making rape threats & not gaslighting me about being raped as a kid was “unrealistic”. Oh? Are you so broken you little psycho? Not the raped kids, right you monster? Just you.

[misspieckfinger]

The last thing I see trying to forget that was said.

Alto!!!! Who is your Valentine this year 😊

Hojo.

Orlok doesn’t seem to notice, I think a lot of attractiveness is just not getting all neurotic. They used to want big moles & a unibrow so nobody should take trends seriously. I think sites like Tumblr & Pinterest are actually good for building individual aesthetics & opinions that aren’t dictated by the masses. I used to get picked on for liking manga & now rappers turn up to awards shows as Jojo characters. I ignore shit, it’s how I end up liking things before they get popular. I don’t get all narcissistic about it, if I see beauty & meaning other people must also feel that. A lot of current aesthetics I was thinking about as a kid & I saw a lot of it on deviant art & other sites that used to be niche. A lot of it is just giving into your feelings & not making yourself unhappy to fit in.

this might be my fave tweet of all time

I’m happy for you to like it, the ew is such a deep level of my being, I couldn’t stop it from coming out, I lost control of my hand, I don’t recall writing it.

I've been waiting for over 20 years for Sauron to be shown in human form so that I can do smth w him & Frodo. I've been waiting for so many years to actually see how my beautiful ship can exist

Why is the better part of her the part that’s unhappy? Why have these so called feminists gone puritan? It used to be like “yay! Marry a man, a lady, a job who cares!”. Now they’re like “you caaaan’t looooove that guuuuuy! You’re not a god role model if you do that!”. Like we went from women having to be on these pedestals to normal people to back on these pedestals. Galadriel doesn’t have to be your role model. Galadriel is a person & can do what she wants. I’m really tired of this it’s only freedom if you’re free to do what I think is nice bullshit, you’d think women’s personal lives were public property at this point. We should have hit stop about ten years ago on this. It’s like female nice guys, if men said who a woman loves is immoral you’d assume they were neck beards. Stick the puritanical pearl clutchers with those guys & leave the rest of us out of it.

New interview !! Morfydd and Charlie blowing my mind part 56565

"I think it was her severing the tie between them, and her also choosing that it's better to be part of Middle-earth, kind of dead than be alive by his side."

(Morfydd Clark)

"Kind of dead".... I'm sure she referred to the fact that Elves don't ever really die, but think of another implication behind these words... See?

"I think it's less about heal yourself – like, go to therapy kind of thing… I think that line [went] over his head. I think it's more like, because I don't think he cares about healing himself. I think it's more like you've got away."

(Charlie Vickers)

"He's convinced in that moment that she's giving [him the ring] – he can't see any alternative because he's so arrogant and thinks he's the man, and she's giving him the ring, and he's like, ‘You're going to give it to me, you're going to give it to me.’ And then she resists him and jumps off the cliff. It's just like he could not fathom that was possible. So I think he's dealing with that, and also he knows she’s not going to die."

(Charlie Vickers)

Also lol:

"Jokingly, when I asked Charlie Vickers how Sauron felt about Galadriel jumping away from him and telling him to heal himself, he said it was like she said “heal yourself, bitch.”

I wonder where did I read "heal yourself, bitch" before...

The dramatic fist fighting drives me insane, don’t lock your elbow. Omg.

SQUID GAME 09 One Lucky Day

Over disciplined gifted child who gets revenge by letting their kids do literally anything. His children would 100% draw on the walls.

Just while we're all musing about Sephzack, I find it pretty hilarious that out of all three Firsts, Sephiroth of all people is the one MOST likely to indulge in Zack's dumbass shenanigans. Angeal's too much of a stick in the mud. Genesis is too antagonistic. Which leaves Sephiroth being perfectly chill with whatever chaotic scheme Zack's feral little brain is brewing up.

Sephiroth: "Sure, let's let the wanted criminals escape. Cool cool. Of COURSE you can visit your girlfriend whatever, bro. Have fun. Tell her I said hi. Hey, do you wanna blow something up? Hey, you wanna kill God?"

What is this movie doing to my socials? I have seen more crap to do with Twilight I didn’t even watch twilight I haven’t since I was like fourteen where did this come from? Why? How? I want actual Dracula & somehow I’m just getting crystal cleansing noises & knock off Dakota Johnson. Where is like blade? Where is underworld? Why is this? Why? I listen to creepy pasta to fall asleep, I can’t, nothing is happening here. This is the great K Drama flood of late 2023 all over again, I’m trying to watch people kill each other why is this CEO’s daughter dating a fox? From my searches I think it’s really obvious what my niche is with what I watch, how did I start at battle royale & now I’m way over here.

My inner teenage girl is still so curious of all this stupid irrelevant crap but my cringe is too strong with the nothingburger that is Edward, why is he so upset? Does he do anything else? Like anything? I feel like I could replace this guy with a clear quartz & a frowny face & stick him in my window & he’d be the same.

That vampire sucks fun instead of blood. He eats fun. The fun just goes away, he ate it, he sucked it out of the room. He’s thirsty because he drank all the fun & now it’s gone.

[misspieckfinger]

She has a guardian angel, he’s just doing twenty five to life for all the vampire hijinx.

Nosferatu is "Believe Women" in movie form.

Had Thomas believed Ellen, he wouldn't have gone over to Orlok's home and probably would have kept Orlok at bay.

It's also a "Be careful what you wish for" lesson.

Had Ellen stayed more specific on the spectrum of celestial/benevolent beings instead of anything, she would probably have a guardian angel.

[misspieckfinger]

I think it needs to enter the cultural zeitgeist that you don’t have to be an evil person to be unhealthy for a particular woman. Ellen was emotionally neglected by her dad. Thomas is trying but he’s accidentally doing the same by pushing her away & shutting her out so much.

He’s doing what he knows to attempt to be a nice husband, he’s a nice enough person usually but he’s almost more into being a good husband on paper than really having a happy marriage with Ellen.

One thing I will say I thought was done so beautifully is there is never like this direct childish fist fight between Thomas & Orlok. In many films in the past it would have gotten disrespectful at some point the fiancé & the ex husband. They didn’t do that here, I’m not sure Thomas is often there for Ellen in the way that would help but her connection to Orlok is treated as valid even by Thomas. I think there were still some issues with respecting her, but I didn’t see disrespect to Orlok & the relationship there. That was nice.

I think the cat thing kind of is this encapsulated miniature model of where the communication breaks down between Thomas & Ellen. To Ellen she’s intuitive & she notices things people don’t usually pick up on. So the lilacs aren’t just the lilacs they’re the scent of her dream to be reunited with Orlok. The thunder cloud isn’t just a thunder cloud it represents the person she still loves & the way he’s in touch with nature & energy as a Solomonar the same way she is-so the cloud is why she loves Orlok so passionately.

There are these very personal symbols & sentiments attached to things with Ellen.

The cat isn’t just a cat. The cat is for Ellen’s emotional support, almost a therapy animal, the cat represents her need for comfort.

Thomas is more universal with it. He wants to help her & so he’s concerned about his suit. To him he puts on the suit & it’s not just a suit he’s emotionally tapping into the collective perception of guys who wear suits & this concept of this respectable man who wears a suit & does his job in a suit. It represents the life he hopes to provide, that’s how he is to go about providing those things. So he’s worried about his suit & keeping it pristine, he’s trying to tell her that he is being careful with this life he wants to provide & build for them. He wants her to know that despite what her past was & how her life has gone so far he still thinks she deserves to be a respectable middle class lady with a nice house & a respectable normal husband who wears a suit. He does mean it.

The challenge arises because when Ellen wants for him to engage with the cat he’s trying to look more at the long term & of how to build this household & so he’s not really as worried about the cat right then because that’s not the kind of comforting he’s trying to provide. He believes when they’re in their normal house with their normal life she’ll see she belongs there & things will get better for her.

Ellen however has a lot of struggle making it through the day a lot of her days. She was trying to get him to just interact with her & the cat for a minute & sustain herself emotionally off of that, she’s just starved for pleasant interaction. So when he’s like “not now” she perceives the rejection of the cat as this symbolic rejection of her efforts to connect emotionally, the need to do so actually on her part. She loves the cat & she was emotionally/psychologically ignored by her dad, she almost needs for Thomas to interact in an imaginative way & just indulge the pet for a moment as a source of safety & support.

Thomas spends less time ruminating on these symbols, but he’s good at tapping into what things generally represent & using it as a point of connection with people & he’s steady in the actualization of those goals, he works toward them consistently & dependably. Thomas does attach a lot of affection & care to the acquiring of goods & creature comforts for his loved ones, so it gives him a lot of pride & happiness to look around & know he’s procured this space & these things for the people he cares about. I think modern times this person’s love language is acts of service & gifts. Which isn’t to say that’s bad, there’s something to be said for a concrete physical representation of a person’s feelings, less ambiguous than words, lasts longer than physical touch.

Ellen spends a lot of time on the mental aspect of what these things mean & really understanding down to fine details, but her action style, the way she actualizes these things she reflects on so much is very sporadic & far less structured than the approach Thomas takes.

I’m not sure what Thomas is interested in sexually, he could be gay but in the novel he’s explicitly stated to be interested in the girl in the horse, script as well. I noticed he looks uncomfortable in many sexual situations I don’t know if it’s repression or if he has a reason we don’t know to be fearful, he looks very nervous to me.

I think Ellen’s love languages are physical touch & words of affirmation. That’s tricky when two people don’t quite align on their needs. Especially given that Thomas looks anxious about physical affection. Ellen might have some manifestations of being hyper sexual following underaged sexual activity, because that can happen. He needs to have a conversation with Ellen where he talks honestly about why he’s feeling anxiety around sex so they understand each other, with her daddy issues she gets her feelings hurt more than average because when she expressed platonic/familial affection he’d pull away (her father) so now when Thomas is stressed & pulls away she re-lives her crappy childhood. I think Thomas might struggle a little with those conversations I think when there’s an action plan to be communicated he does decently & can articulate himself but if he’s taken outside a group effort that’s organized & structured he can seem uncomfortable & romance is inherently more specific & unconventional, emotionally you have to try stuff to kind of reach those spots with people’s feelings, you’re suggesting by perceiving & responding to the other’s emotions that this is what the dynamic will be physically, it’s a little riskier to communicate romantically.

It’s partly evolution, the public sphere of universal & the private sphere of specificity. Men inherently work in groups to get things done & share universal goals & structured ideas.

Women are naturally strong at the specific, it’s because mothers have to tune into whatever random things are important to the children in child rearing to tend to their psychological development. This isn’t just a crayon drawing to the child & so mom has got to be able to get on board effortlessly with why this is the most fascinating crayon art to ever exist because to the kid it really is. That excitement & passion we learn in childhood it is what will become our careers, our hobbies, one day that child might meet their spouse at an art museum because mom kindled that passion for the crayon pictures when they were a toddler, that child will have children, people will live & breathe & laugh & hope & work all because of how mommy chooses to handle the things that light up baby’s little face. Those passions are plants the mothers water, they feed the child one day, they become life. That familial sphere it’s all about these intimately personal quirks & traits, it’s all about eccentricity at an individual level, that’s where femininity is powerful, it thrives there. Men & women can be good at random things too but as a trend the public sphere is universal the private sphere is personal. A lot of the “bad at being a girl nlog narratives” from the twenty tens are about women who excel in the universal & reconciling that with femininity & private desires.

We have foreshadowing and clue already , with Herr Knock doing this , that Ellen IN FACT CAN STOP her seizures on her own. In fact it makes me realize her ability to start and stop seizures probably wasn't perfect before but it becomes so especially when she is consciously making connection rather than waiting for at night , when her willpower weakens due to fatigue of the day and her "animal" self becomes stronger

This is how we get the final confrontation between her and Thomas and the subsequent fall out.

Honestly I have so many thoughts about that scene. Ellen must have felt defeated in the end. She saw the man she wants to love honestly come back from ordeal against Orlok, thinking perhaps NOW he would understand her completely. She has a chance to make an effort to connect with and bridge that final gap between them as husband and wife by telling him everything about her past and self. She has been hiding, suppressing and denying who she is to fit in and be normal for and her husband. She gambled her last hope at him , hoping he would understand and I guess?? give her blessing to confront Orlok and they could be have a chance at being happy 100%

Only for it to blow up at her face 🤡

The contrast of Anna who doesn’t want to kiss her husband & Ellen who’s getting creampied by a vampire is hysterical. “Humph humph I know only boats & my woman folk won’t smooch me” vs “vife is Isis herself, I vill bleed them all to gaze upon you”, romance goes a long way.

Ellen really said for Orkie:

[misspieckfinger]

Watching her attempts to communicate with Thomas get shoved away every time is the saddest part of the movie. Nobody could be happy, let alone in love in that situation. That marriage was doomed, dead bed room, can’t talk openly, these two people don’t belong together, I’m stunned after how hard he tried to shut Ellen out emotionally she even has the capacity to try to be with him, I wouldn’t. Thomas isn’t evil but in being together they were condemned to a hellish situation. You can’t have passion without emotion. You can’t have passion without connection.

Just realized the presence of the other vampire in the hunting scene makes this version way closer to the original Dracula than to the silent film in that the Romani are having problems with people turning to the point they’re locked up inside at night holding garlic & crosses.

These bitches better get that little thing out of the sun yesterday. Lol, we did it, shit hitting fan in 3…2…

Prepare for a hoarde of plague kitties. There is no escape, only meow meow.

I like Dracula's makeup!! It definitely feels more streamlined than Max Shreck's makeup

[misspieckfinger]

Except for this. Then it definitely is. So not never, but in fact like a day or two. Then for sure.
