I’m throwing up

Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower in House of the Dragon Season 2

fuck all romance except for whatever that ex-Satanist and the youth pastor have going on

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.

A Jinx WIP? How did that get in there..

I’ve been drawing a lot more recently and feel like my style has developed a lot compared to a few months ago , and so I just get too excited to stay working on one thing at a time. Not that I have a great track record of finishing things anyway, but that’s not the point.

i feel like i'm wasting my life away. anyways.

They should invent a tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow that doesn’t creep in this petty pace from day to day

Sweet Mourning Lamb..

Abigail Hobbs, nobody gets you like I do. Get behind me.

And yes this is based off the one Jodie Foster promo pic for ‘The Silence of the Lambs’

Bravo also to Robert Eggers for probably the least bad depiction of Transylvania in Western vampire cinematic history:

1. Having actual Romanian actors doing the dialogue in Romanian. You'd think this is a low bar to clear but nope.

2. High quality costume design that looks pretty accurate to 19th century Romanian and Roma peasantry, even down to specific braided hairstyles from the Transylvanian region.

3. Depiction of Roma people but refrains from having them as some typical Hollywood exoticizing role like a magical fortune teller etc. They're in like half a scene, just chilling and playing music in front of an inn.

4. Use of the word "strigoi" which are actual spirits in Romanian folklore, unlike the term "vampire" which didn't exist in Romania.

5. Sorry to the Nosferatu moustache haters, but a Romanian nobleman would have had that exact facial hair.

6. Depiction of religion (nuns, churches) that actually looks like Eastern Orthodoxy and not some vaguely spooky goth Christianity.
