I liked how in Nosferatu it’s shown that Ellen not only leaves Thomas behind, lets him go, but she effectively remarries, by dressing up in wedding gown and pledging herself to Orlok and then consumating their sort of marriage. Orlok came before Thomas as Ellen’s dark suitor and Ellen ended up in the end with Orlok, not Thomas. Lilacs as running theme also support it because they are associated with Orlok so even when Ellen was marrying Thomas with lilacs on her head she was involving Orlok into her marriage.
Yes, the lilacs!.. God, the lilacs. She wore them throughout the film, on her dresses, in her hair, as a scent - they're such a prominent motif, and it's very clear that she was never able to let go of her occult nature entirely, despite her very best efforts to conform. The way Orlok reacts to the scent of them in the locket is so telling, too!.. It must've felt like a secret note, passed in code - my first love, I've never forgotten you. Come to me. The hesitation, the slight trembling in his hands as he holds it. The way he keeps it without question, the way he can't resist opening it just to catch the scent - again, again, again. There is something so vulnerable about their connection, on either side.
I think that's why their consummation is so tender sdksjgdjh

Spent all day yesterday drawing this instead of doing sensible things. 😅
I think on daily basis there are a lot of people that need to consider themselves lucky that we keep our monsters in check.😝 It's a full time job keeping those bastards occupied.
Voltaire does a good job with mine a lot of the time and some times I like to imagine I help a little with his too.
In the end they might end up devouring us but we'll give them a good fucking fight for as long as we have a little light to guide us.
It was a song just a song That made our hearts grow strong
