BILL SKARSGÅRD as COUNT ORLOK in NOSFERATU (2024), dir. Robert Eggers

[misslovelyillustration]

Nosferatu has been living in my head rent free for the past month and a half and I finally had the chance to draw them!

Not sure if it's out of my system though because I feel like I might have to draw Ellen in her bonnet at some point.

Bill Skarsgård in The Devil All the Time (2020)

[apoloadonisandnarcissus]

Folks do not understand Orlok and Ellen in “Nosferatu” (2024), in the slightest, because they don’t understand Robert Eggers storytelling; he gives us the characters POV, their beliefs, not the actual truth of the story (“exposition”); characters talk about what they believe to be the truth. And this is why all your “interpretations” are incorrect and there’s no “sexual abuse” nor r*pe going on here, and never was.

It was Ellen who resurrected and cursed Orlok at the prologue (confirmed 4 times in the film); he’s not merely her sexual awakening, he’s also the awakening of her power (death);

Orlok was no more than a shadow at her window during her teenage years; Ellen would masturbate (the ultimate sin in Victorian era) and Orlok would appear at her window (it’s sexual energy that summons him);

This is a spiritual connection, not a physical one; the prologue established if Orlok touches Ellen she almost dies (she was masturbating at the prologue and then he grabs her neck);

Ellen never gave Orlok invitation into her family manor, that’s why she opens the window to him at the Harding household unaware she’s dooming everyone inside (precisely because he was no more than a shadow at her window, a haunting, a presence);

It’s Ellen who summons/conjures/invites Orlok for their communications to happen, she channels her sexual energy through her “hysteric fits” for them to communicate (telepathically; inside of her mind); it’s not him doing things to her body, it’s all on herself;

Ellen lacks the language to fully understand her power; and Victorian society doesn’t give her the knowledge to do it. That’s why she’s both confused and oblivious about the whole thing (confirmed by Robert Eggers in interviews). And that’s why it’s a character outside of Victorian society, with Occult learning, Professor Von Franz, who provides her with answers she needs to understand herself;

Ellen was not a literal “child” when she resurrected Orlok; she was 15 years old (confirmed in interviews), and she accuses him of corrupting her innocence because, in that scene, she believes Orlok is a demon possessing her body (because of what Von Franz told her, but he talked about a “daemon” haunting); for his part Orlok thinks Ellen knows she’s been summoning him to her this entire time (“thought you I wouldn’t return? Thought you I would not? Your passion is bound to me.”);

Professor Von Franz, in true occult scholar fashion, doesn’t tell Ellen the whole truth about her power (death) because he knows she’s not ready to hear it (he only tells her in their final scene together); Orlok reveals it (enchantress; necromancer) because he wants her to acknowledge her power (death) and see it will never be accepted by Victorian society; which is why he gives her three nights. Until then she will suffer him, the monster of her own creation, to bring her power (death) to those she loves (the living; Victorian society);

Ellen is the reincarnation of Orlok’s wife or lover. Orlok did took her “as his lover then”; but this “then” is 300 years into the past (late 16th century), not the 19th century. “Remember how once we were? A moment. Remember?” And she probably does have unconscious memories of this; the lilacs, the sex dreams of Orlok (he can only create nightmares); “you could never please me as he could”. And this is why he haunts her and is dragging her to her grave (strigoi myth);

The importance of “Ellen’s possession scene” to her character is that she realizes she can communicate with the spiritual realm as a whole (not only with Orlok); Orlok it’s not a demon possessing her body, it’s all on herself; and she’s the one who has been conjuring him this entire time (“I’m unclean!”). And this is why Orlok is not in that scene at all, there’s no visual indication of this, and he only shows up at the window later, when Thomas is asleep.

At last, Professor Von Franz finally reveals to Ellen her true power/nature, because she’s ready, and it’s what Orlok told her twice already: “In heathen times you might have been a great priestess of Isis”. Isis, Queen of the Underworld. “You are not for the living. You are not for human kind.” Ellen’s power is death (necromancer, mediumship, spiritual world).

Expanded explanation here, for those interested.

ship these two ever since I watched Nosferatu so my h/c is that when Friedrich is looking at the scars on Thomas' body he just feels devastated for the man he loves so he gently touches his skin in the hope that his touch could bring some comfort for Thomas but he knows he can't.

Hey girls or boys. Be honest.

Imagine you are invited to a gala and you can choose an actor to go with. Who would it be? ✦꙳⋆⟡

Helpppp this is hard.

I think I would go with Pedro Pascal...or Joseph Quinn...or Paul Mescal...but then there are also Cillian Murphy, Fred Hechinger...and Mads Mikkelsen or...uhm Bill Skarsgard.

And..Aaron Taylor Johnson my beloved.
