There IS complexity to Orlok and Ellen's dynamic and there is a lot to say about how he connects to her repressed sexuality and her depression, but Orlok does not represent Ellen's freedom. He represents the loss of control that comes from oppressing and from having a traumatic relationship with one's desires, especially in lack of supporting mechanisms.

Moreover, I think that Ellen is a character who is trying to be true to herself throughout the movie. She is trying to TELL the truth AND to BE HEARD. So to me the interpretations that completely disregard her vocalized rejection of Orlok as denial are kinda tone deaf. It's something that happens more and more in fandom. The female characters' feelings and choices are reduced and denied in favour of what the fans want to twist them into and their 'voices' are being erased in favour of misinterpretations that are in line with the fans' projections upon them.

what if we were best friends, and what if i fucked your boyfriend because i couldn’t fuck you, and what if i killed you—haunt me then!—and what if i ate you so i could finally have you all to myself, and what if i ritualized your death so i could consume you over and over again, and what if i didn’t know where you ended and i began, and what if we were both girls

i saw this reposted on pinterest last night and no joke have been thinking abt it non-stop since. i think jackie was going to be hurt as long as the person shauna was having sex with wasn't her. she doesn't frame it that way in her mind but their codependency becomes sexual in an inherent way because they literally cannot do anything without the other. shauna tries to break away from this by having sex with jeff but it doesn’t work — because even this rebellion is at its core about jackie. she has sex with jeff to gain some agency, to tell herself jackie doesn't control her life, but she does. and this isn't jackie's fault — jackie controls shauna through shauna's own obsession with and dependency on her. in the end, shauna didn’t have sex without jackie — she was thinking about her the whole time.

that one homoerotic girl friendship that ended horribly is always like, i hate her more than anyone, i will never stop loving her. she made me who i am, i hate the parts of me she helped create. i miss her more than anything, i can't even look her in the eye. i dream about her most nights, i'll cut off my arm before i even consider reaching out to her again. i want us back, i never want to feel that way again.
