if there is one thing bill skarsgård will do it is Portray a Creature and by god is he good at it
How are you gonna complain that Nosferatu was too sexual as if Gothic literature didn't originate from social rebellion? As if Bram Stoker's novel didn't have sexual undertones? As if Nosferatu didn't have sexual undertones already? I understand if you didn't expect such upfront sexuality, but don't hate on the movie for it. If it's not for you, that's okay! Taboo topics aren't for everyone; Just remember that Gothic literature is meant to be taboo. A social rebellion. Expressing the dark, barbaric, animalistic, and shunned aspects of human nature. I haven't watched the film YET; But I have taken a course SPECIFICALLY on Gothic literature {and passed}, read Bram Stoker's Dracula, watched both original Nosferatu's multiple times, and immersed myself in Gothic literature for a while now. Gothic horror IS sexual in its essence. It's grotesque and disgusting. Revolting and shameful. That's the point. It's also sensual, emotional, despondent, and FULL of metaphors. It’s EROTIC. If the genre isn't for you, or if certain aspects aren't for you, that's okay. Everyone has their limits, everyone deserves their boundaries.
Inspired by Robert Egger's new movieNosferatu

Orlock is a romantic dreamer who happens to be a bloodthirsty monster. That's it, that's my statement. No, I don't invite to discussion.
Grabbing my tidies like:

Summary: Sink with great delight into the arms of your lord as the night engulfs you all.

Warnings: MDNI, GORE, Orlok is his own warning, bites, blood, mentions of sexual intercourse.
ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE.
The wind struggled hard and tried to force its way in through the glass window that you had firmly closed hours before. The night here was silent but it screamed at the same time, an agony that only ended with the first rooster crowing.
You slid your hands down the jagged back of your lord. Your count. Your master. Your love. And your ruin.
He released the fangs that were embedded in your chest with a wet crack, blood running down in a thin line. His gray eyes met yours and you found the courage to bring a hand to the side of his bony face.
"Don't stop." you begged softly and he crawled up until his face was on top of yours.
"Foolish child." the husky voice reverberated and you felt yourself vibrate inside. "I am joining with thy flesh and thou are paying attention to the wind."
The creature moved his hips to fit inside you again, making you let out a soft sigh. He brought his nose to your cheek, inhaling deeply.
You closed your eyes. The candles in the quarters weren't enough to warm your body. But he, he somehow, even with his body devoid of any heat, was able to make you feel like you were burning alive.
It was a heat that consumed your being ever since he first came to you. Before, your tragic existence was pure agony. There was agony now, he burned you so much that you could die, but you would die with great delight at being in his arms.
You turned your head and captured your lord's thin lips in yours, "Forgive me, my lord."
He brought one of his large, calloused hands to your neck and squeezed hard, his long nails almost digging into the soft flesh.
"Thy lord?" he repeated, growling softly. "Do thou find the man whom devour thou in thy bed thy lord, child?"
You moaned audibly and your voice sounded hoarse as you gasped for air to reply, “My love.”
He let out a satisfied grunt and released your neck, moving his hips again and lowering his face to your neck to take a soft bite.
"Say it again." he ordered, thrusting once hard, making you spread your legs wider around his waist. "Say it."
"My love." you sighed, tilting your head back and closing your eyes. "My love."
He moaned hoarsely and moved his hips quickly before licking your neck.
"I had such a beautiful daydream. A night with the starry welken above our castle. Yet all I could regard about was how I wanted to tear thou apart and enter thou so we could be together."
Without any warning, he pulled out of you and crawled lower, placing his mouth on your left breast and pulling hard, a piece of skin came loose and he went back to bite you again.
You groaned loudly and your eyes rolled back, your back arched and you leaned into the evil creature on top of you.
"More." you begged. "More."
He was licking the blood from your skin and took possession of your body again with your desperate plea. He seemed to want to reach deeper with his fangs and you could no longer think straight.
"You and I..." you murmured, "we are one."
He released your breast and advanced on you, taking you in a raging, hungry kiss.
"We are."
"Why have you killed these beautiful flowers?"
"Dream of me. Only me." from Nosferatu 2024

Did you knew that? / Have you watched the first movie?
(If so) How are you doing after a month?
I have returned from the dead cinema. For those who missed the news, I went to see Nosferatu with my mum. Which is discouraged unless your mum is a funny one.
Without further ado, I present the popularly requested What my mum said about Nosferatu:
"There isn't enough of Nosferatu. The director must have run out of money."
"I don't like the crunchy noise he makes when he bites people. It isn't elegant, and he's supposed to be a nobleman." (Cue us joking that it's the sound of Orlok's teeth falling out. Chaotic humour is a family trait, I'm afraid.)
"Does the professor die?" Me: "Noooo, unless Thomas threw him out the window right after the end." Her: "Thomas, lock him in the chapel."
"It's a shame Ellen's friend dies. She has such nice clothes."
*Sailor hammering open Orlok's crate.* "C'mon, he's not at home!"
"Did Thomas get the bag of gold, at least?"

Always delightful when my friends throw me under the bus for inspiring unhinged ideas.
Look at him, he's Goth and cool and Eldritch, unlike my silly goober
@purrlockswatson made me do it

I don’t know if you’ve seen Nosferatu (2024) yet, but I am (im-)patiently waiting for a Cat Orlock! Your cat drawings are the best thing on tumblr for me rn and seeing them is just incredible!!! 🤍
Here's some Cat Orlok silliness that's been sitting in my sketchbook! He walked into the 2004 Phantom of the Opera film and haunted the wrong maiden by accident - who can blame him, it's gothic and has a fancy window for him to silhouette himself ominously in. (PoTO cats here)
Thank you so much, I'm very happy to hear that the Goober Cats are loved! 🥹🖤
Vampurr to vampurr. I've seen people wearing antique Victorian gowns to cinemas to meet the Count, but I'm afraid I'm in my hoodie.
Computer is dead, brain is rotted. The mostly hinged Phanart I'd completed is unavailable, so have some unhinged Nosferatu.
When I say I was bouncing off the walls and crawling around the ceiling when I got the comm, I mean it! I'm so happy my love for it translated! And Happy Nosferatu is going to be my new seasonal greeting now
I swear I have never been this excited about an advent calendar and just in case it wasn't clear I am a grown adult but I am bouncing around like a child.
@purrlockswatson made such a beautiful advent calendar already and then this. THIS.
Aurik has a yellow hoodie. His favourite colour. He's going to the movies. One of his favourite things. He's meeting for the first time a vampire who looks a bit more like him (Count Orlok) and that vampire is a movie star and they're watching his new movie and they got the big novelty coffin popcorn bucket and they got to bring the pet rats and and and....
It's so lovely. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and Happy Nosferatu to everyone in general.
