"I saw the scar and it reminded me of Feratu. Also the overall just face being Feratu's reminded me of Feratu."

thinking abt Nosferatu (2024) and like, if I had a nickel for every time Eggers made a horror movie set in a historic period w a story that had fantastical elements and said movie was also a metaphor abt Gender When You Have a Female Body TM, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but I like tht it happened twice & I hope for more nickels

I shall do my best to be active here now :)

It’ll take some getting used to on my part. But hey, I’ll continue my Ardyn rumbling!

Ok three things:

I understand now why Methas said that this power makes Ramil the most powerful of all the vampires. Its not just mind reading or even changing memories, this is actually forcing something in the person's brain to bend to his will. This makes it so he cannot be disobeyed. This is the ability to Command in perpetuity. That's insanely powerful.

It now also makes sense why Feratu has to attack Ramil by proxy instead of head on. Even if he thought he was strong enough to kill Ramil, he's physically cannot enter the place that Ramil is located (whatever Greenmoore is). The only way for him to attack Ramil and potentially end this banishment (assuming this Command would cease with Ramil's death) is to have someone else kill Ramil for him.

It also explains why it was worth releasing Ramil from the painting to kill him. If Feratu still has aspirations to rule the vampires, Ramil being locked up wasn't enough as he still maybe doesn't have access to Greenmoore due to this Command.

This is all very neat storytelling cuz it gives us so much of Feratu's motivations just with a few lines.

METHAS YOU MIGHT BE PRETTY, BUT YOU'RE NOT STUPID. ALARM BELLS SHOULD BE SCREAMING IN YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW.

This is actually EXTREMELY threatening of Ramil, and if you have the strength to do it with just one hand, one of the most lethal moves you can make.

Around there on each side of the throat are veins that move blood from the head. It's hard to hit them with enough force to be lethal, but if you do press them really hard, the victim has about 20 seconds or less before you've cut off blood going OUT of the brain, but not INTO the brain.

The pressure build up can knock them out, but enough force in the right spot- which I'm betting an all powerful vampire is capable of, and you can essentially crush the brain under the force of blood building up.

So, yeah. I mean he could also be threatening to rip out his windpipe too, but that other one will get you FAST.
