"I..." Roman begins, his gaze flicking to the stubborn hand Lina places on her hip. Like...she's annoyed at overhearing something never meant for anyone but him and Quinlan to hear. His head tilts once his gaze meets hers again, and he has to fight any expression of amusement over his features. "You didn't say anything, I spoke first. Do you mean you were...going to say the same thing?" he purposely argues specifics in his usual level tone, and just faintly his lips twitch with a grin.

He doesn't have time to leave, even if Lina attempts to wave him away because she ends up in her own cycle of a conversation. It takes Roman by surprise at first, his hesitant step leading him right back in front of her as he listens. Then, his amusement becomes much harder to veil. Still relaxed, he offers a simple nod of his head to each of her declerations.

"Did you just interrogate yourself?" a slight chuckle escapes him and there's a moment of brief consideration on his face, a glance to the door, then to the cameras seamlessly hidden in the room they share, despite knowing their placements. Then he looks back to Lina. "The thing is, you were there." Roman shrugs now. "And I don't trust you." he adds, his statement not malicious nor kind just a fact. "So. I'm afraid you're going to see more of me when you least expect it." he thinks she'll understand, even if he also thinks she's going to protest every time she catches sight of him in the background of her life. "But, if you don't plan on saying anything then we won't have any problems, right?"

Within seconds of him opening his mouth, Lina realizes he was more intriguing when he stayed silent. Her face betrays every thought, a flicker of disdain sweeping over her features as Roman throws out his quips, clearly enjoying the sound of his own voice. "So...we were saying the same thing. You just needed to be difficult." she says as her hand bolts to her hip. She's not one to talk on 'being difficult' but her chin tilts with defiance. "Yes, thank you. Please excuse yourself." Lina adds, flicking a hand to the door like she's brushing off a speck of dust.

But Roman doesn't react the way she expects. He doesn't acknowledge what she's so sure she heard. Instead, he looks at her with a baffling calm, almost confused by her words. For a second, Lina doubts herself, did she mishear? The silence between them stretches, and she blinks, thrown off by his unreadable expression, but then a dry laugh escapes her.

"Oh, come on, just say it already." she challenges, forcing a confidence she doesn't quite feel. "The thinly veiled threat, the it's in my best interest to keep quiet conversation. Don't worry, I haven't told a soul, and I don't plan to. Whatever mess you're in, I don't want any part of it." her words spill out quickly, as if arguing with herself. Meanwhile, Roman's lack of emotion over his features only fuels her irritation.

"That's why you're here, isn't it? Conveniently in the same room I work from, like you just so happened to end up here." Lina scoffs, her eyes narrowing. "I don't even want to know how you get your information. I mean it, I don't care. About any of it. The train, The Wards, this room." she waves her hands in mock surrender, as if wiping the whole situation clean. "I wasn't in Whispr, and neither were you. Okay!?"

If you were watching Nosferatu and you noticed the doctors talking about how Ellen had too much blood and that's why she was acting crazy - let me explain why (and also how excited I am that it was included in the script).

From ancient Greece through the Renaissance, we believed in The Four Humors in medicine. Essentially, they thought there were four fluids in the body (blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm) and they determined a person's temperament; an imbalance of them was believed causes illness. The Four Temperaments (based on the balance of their humors) are as follows:

Sanguine: Optimistic and social - (affected by blood)

Choleric: Short-tempered and irritable - (affected by yellow bile)

Melancholic: Analytical and quiet - (affected by black bile)

Phlegmatic: Relaxed and peaceful - (affected by phlegm)

They were also connected to celestial bodies, seasons, body parts, and stages of life. Here's a neat little chart:

Ellen was already rather macabre, and as she spiraled she became less able to adhere to social convention; it makes sense that a doctor of the time would consider that to be an imbalance of her blood. It also feels worth stating that a sanguine temperament can be likened to the manic phase of a bipolar episode, which Ellen's symptoms certainly could have been indicative of.

I also think it's an interesting (though possibly pointless) connection that a sanguine temperament is linked to the heart, to adolescence, and to Spring.

The heart obviously links to Ellen as she's a hopeless romantic. Adolescence also connects due to not only her young age in the film, but the events causing Orlok's fascination with her happened when she was quite young as well. I would argue that you can tie Spring into Ellen's character also - she was blooming, transforming, awaiting a new breath of life (death?).

It made me so happy to see it included so casually, it was such an accurate portrayal of how medicine would have actually been practiced at the time and it wasn't made into a huge thing. It shows the appreciation and effort Eggers brings to his work.

I can absolutely see how you may just brush past that part (it was brief), or attribute it to vampirism, but it's actually a super cool little detail of our real life medical history!

i think one of the reasons why i'm so giddy about how buck's infatuation with tommy has been played by the show is because i want buck to be stupid in love with someone again. like i'm not gonna pretend buck being bi and with a man now is not an allure in and of itself, this fandom has always been dominated by mlm shipping so idk why that's thrown people's way like an accusation, but personally i, the number one fan of how buck looks when he affectionately kisses someone and how he watches them when they're talking and how he strokes their hair just casually and how he goes out of his way to just adore them, want to see him be insanely in love again. it's been soooo long since abby and like i didn't even care about that relationship that much but i literally tear up thinking about how much he loved abby sometimes, man, like just the way he loves, you know? and i wanna see that again, fuck, because while it's controversially if bucktaylor doesn't have any fans i'm dead yadda yadda here on my part, we haven't seen buck be sooo infatuated and adoring with her like he was with abby and he couldn't have that with ali, natalia, or lucy either and goddamn i just want to see buck be in love again

Duke, GMing a game for the other bats would be fucking fantastic, because he knows what makes a bat tick

Duke, who prepared a lasagna of paranoia, just layers and layers and layers of suspense to get everyone's hackles up and even the big bat jumping at shadows. there are puzzles, riddles, and twists littered all over the game world

Steph is the only one who manages to keep grounded enough to actually solve the mystery and she Does rub it in Tim's face for all eternity

went through Giovanni's quotes the other day and he has a surprising amount of 'adults know better'\'you are just a kid and therefore stupid' lines, which made me think that he is somewhat sensitive about his age. Not that he misses being young, rather he feels insecure about clear signs of aging. Red called him 'old' once or something and he never recovered.

anyway Gio dyes his hair, thank you for coming to my ted talk

The whole transandrophobia discussion thing is weird bc it feels like it's a bunch of poc and jewish trans people being like "here are my experiences of how specifically being MASCULINE had affected me, and the discrimination and violence I experienced based on that. And here is how that relates to me being a racial/ethnic minority"

And then a few loud white trans people going "ohhh you wanna be oppressed so bad you *slur*. This is why there aren't any poc in your movement it's because REAL poc understand intersectionality"
