        ❝      i have never shared my secret with any soul . . .          ❞      very odd indeed, then, that ellen feels the urge to do so, now, to let go her burdens to an equally as odd man she's only just met ; yet something in hues of lilac ( lilac . . . her favorite of all flora ) has wrapped itself around her tongue, pulling forth the truth.         ❝      at first, it was sweet. i had never known such bliss. yet, it turned to torture . . . it would kill me.         ❞

       a smile does lighten pretty & pallid features as the other speaks of the brown tabby cat in her lap, a hand gently stroking down the stripe along her spine.       ❝      greta has no master, nor mistress,          ❞      she explains in response to his query, is she yours ? she'd like to say the answer is yes, though the one she gives is much more fitting – one she wishes were also true of herself.

       ❝      i cannot always remember them,          ❞      begins ellen through lips pressed thin, speaking of strange spells of wandering in the night, the very same that have plagued her since girlhood. her company will judge her not, for he, too, is infected with a force most unholy having rooted in his flesh — she can sense it, lurking.        ❝      as if . . . my spirit wanders off. sometimes it was . . . it is like a dream. and i know things – i always knew the contents of my christmas gifts           ❞      she tries for a smile, hoping to sew some levity into the conversation.

ellen speaks to nymeria through a dense fog of thought, distant in her gaze, stumbling through melancholy daze with a blind hand outstretched for understanding she knows lies in the solace of blossoming friendship. not even her dearest anna harding could hope to properly handle pearls of darkness within, too pure to see what lies shimmering beyond the blackness.       ❝      do you ever feel, at times, as if you were not – as if you were not a person ?          ❞      ellen turns to face her, then, desperation in dark pools, white digits twisting around one another.        ❝      what i wish to say is . . . that you are not truly present or alive, as if you were at the whim of another – like a doll – and someone or something had the power to breathe life into you, to move you ?           ❞      she stills, frightened she might have exposed too much, longing parts trembling lips.

[35.] repeating "don't stop" like it's the only language left in their mouth.

[36.] leaving possessive marks in places only they'll see.

[37.] whispering "look at me" right before you take them apart.

[38.] trying to be quiet and failing, so they clamp a hand over your mouth.

[39.] flipping positions so fast neither of you remembers who initiated it.

[40.] their nails dragging down your back hard enough to sting later.

[41.] being told to open your mouth and doing it before the sentence is finished.

pallid digits are quick to snatch at the other's sleeve as they go to leave, releasing fabric as quick as it's taken between her fingers – then to clasp hands together at her front, stood shyly, as if she were a young child.         ❝       stay with me. please . . . ? i . . . i wish to not be alone tonight.          ❞

modern ellen would so listen to tvl. i think her favs would be “the loneliness” and “your biggest fan.” don’t read too much into that 🤍

[deathwed]

"keep away from me, i am unclean!" "never." makes me so sick. he just holds her tighter.

while i think, in a way, the ending of the film is ellen accepting her inner darkness, choosing to literally love it, it's also so very tragic. she's suffered so much torment. she feels a responsibility for the deaths of anna, friedrich, their daughters, anyone who perished from the plague or the hysteria that occurred in orlok's arrival to wistberg when all she wanted as a young girl was belonging & a soul to connect with. she knew almost nothing but torment with only small pockets of peace with thomas & anna, choosing to sacrifice herself anyway not just for her husband, but for everyone else residing there. she was unafraid. she was embraced by darkness as she embraced it, & at the very least, was able to see the sunrise & feel it on her skin again before passing on.
