People criticizing Nosferatu for 'romanticizing abuse' don’t seem to understand the essence of Gothic romance and literature. These stories aren't meant to make you feel comfortable or align with conventional morality. Gothic romance thrives in the tension between beauty and horror, weaving together the sublime and the grotesque to evoke emotions that are complex, raw, and hauntingly human. It’s not about endorsing behavior—it’s about exploring the darker corners of desire, fear, and the human condition. 🖤💀🪻

hot take but. Before people were fucking about with terms and stuff, old movies had WAYY more deep platonic connections that could be mistaken for romance and stuff. Not that they had romantic or sexual tension but like.. people nowadays look at two characters glance at eachother and think ‘wow. They should fuck’ but a room of guys would stare at some guy tenderly holding another guy on tv because he had a nightmare and think ‘wow. What a very sweet moment with absolutely no other connotations other than deep respect and sincerity.’

just think that’s neat.

I'm very grateful to George Rextrew for stating multiple times in interviews that gay characters are quickly over-sexualized, and he keeps bringing the focus back to the tender romance, youthful crush, and deep friendship between men. He's really trying to help expand the narrative of male relationships in how he presents Edwin on stage and in the press.

Jayden Revri and Steve Yockey have echoed and supported this spirit. I point to George here just because he receives the brunt of the gay rep questions right now.

Also, as ever, much love to Neil Gaiman for showcasing gay and trans characters across his many works because, as he said, he has gay and trans friends that he wasn't seeing represented in media of the time.
