I like it when you drink cold water and you can feel it traveling coldly all around your insides. Like. “Oooo gurl you’re on a water slide now”

Your boyfriend starts mumbling in Latin in his sleep and it scares the hell out of you but upon translation he’s introducing himself, inquiring on the price of grain, attempting to sell dormice, brainstorming silly Saturnalia gift ideas. In his sleep he somehow becomes a 1st century BC plebeian, of modest means but with a pleasant outlook on mundane life.

It actually meant so much to me to see the original Mina/Jonathan dynamic honoured in Nosferatu (2024). The way they loved each other so much, did everything for the other, clung to each other in the face of the Count's individual assaults upon them...I'm so used to seeing adaptations take this actually really great couple and tossing them into a blender for the sake of propping up the Count's character and his *not book accurate* relationship with Mina. I was so worried going into this movie I'd been hyping up since the beginning that it would fall into the same trap, and it soothed my fears immediately. The only straight couple ever in my eyes <3

People not comprehending Nosferatu correctly might kill me. Yes it's erotic and about pleasure but yes it's devastating and about child sexual abuse. It's a movie about victimhood, about being already dead, about longing for the great beyond, about never feeling safe from your abuser, about always expecting one more rape must be endured. It is about being an ugly victim, a neurotic victim. About your supposed allies tying you down for fear you will rip their world to ribbons. It is about facing the abuser, facing the pleasure the abuser brought. It is about men seeking to silence a plague in the quiet of the night when grooming and abuse can only be destroyed by pulling it into the light of morning.

wait actually i just wanna say. i think there can be nuance when discussing ellen and orlok in nosferatu. yes, as shown in the movie, part of her is drawn to him and they do have a connection/attraction even if she wants to suppress it. but also, when she called out to him when she was younger it was from a place of deep vulnerability and fear, and what she wanted was someone to guide and comfort her, not a predator who would try to take over her mind and body while threatening her loved ones. both can be true!

I think we should let Nicholas Hoult be different guys in different Dracula retellings for the rest of his career. He seems to love it.
