Maybe they’re dating or husband and wife? Ideally just no mention of kids. I’m greedy, he’s all mine.

I'm so sorry about the wait, girl. I hope you like it anyway!! <3

How You Changed Him (HC)

His kleptomania worsened when he first met you. It used to be a compulsion. Like an itch he had to scratch. Until he started slipping things into his pockets deliberately. Your favourite chocolate bar. A singular flower. Even a little bag of cat treats for 'that stupid ball of fur' he insists he can't stand. Then you catch him falling asleep on the couch with it curled on his lap.

Didn't nick the engagement ring, though. No, he spent an obscene amount of money on that. Not to impress you, but more to show you that he has the funds and is willing to spend it on you in a heartbeat.

Used to despise any form of PDA. Scowled when others did it. Muttered a curse under his breath as he brushed past them. Something along the lines of 'bloody saps'. Then one night, standing in line at the cinema, you kissed him. He didn't scowl. Didn't pull away. Just melted into you. Since then, he's the one grabbing your hand when you walk. Went from a silent hatred to a certain pride in kissing you out and about.

Smoking. This one wasn't as easy. Used to light at least half a pack a day. More when he was angry (and honestly, when is he not?). Something in him twisted when he saw your face, though. When he stepped back inside after what feels like the hundreth cigarette he lit that day. The little frown on your face gave you away. His job alone was something you had to get used to. Watching him willingly add to the already excisting death risks made you sick. So he quit. Not without fail, cursed at himself each time. But if this meant you slept better at night? It was worth the misery.

CANNOT CONTROL HIS FACE. You'll see what he thinks of you or something else within seconds. And because it would get him into spats more often than not, you helped him tone it down a bit. Bumping his foot with yours under the table when you notice his face contorting as someone talks to him. He always clenches his jaw so tight it looks painful, but yields to your adjustment anyway.

His taste in food changed too, much to his own surprise. He's used to eating vending machine crap on jobs. Didn't exactly have a regular eating pattern to begin with. But since marrying you, he actually gets some proper food in him for once. Realized how much he liked sweet potatoes. Especially how you make them. Roasted in the oven with rosemary. Once even took the leftovers to a job instead of buying another bland vending machine sandwich. Cursed at Lemon when he nicked a piece of it while keeping the container out of reach to prevent him from stealing another.

Because i couldn't find any on youtube that said a god damned interesting thing

The first shot looks like him right after transforming in the middle of the woods, nothing super interesting except it does establish the artistic choice that yeah it seems like all the night shots are in black and white

So I mentioned this in my other post, but this "monk" luring young Aaron Taylor-Johnson into a cave where it looks like a Witches' Sabbath is being performed is A. Pretty historically accurate because Werewolves were often in Medieval Europe portrayed as being cursed/"blessed" by the Devil, and B. Seems to have child sexual abuse overtones, which is fitting because Robert Eggers said trauma was a theme of the movie. Because of course it is

In the Witches' Sabbath itself, we see the young farmer boy being made to kiss a weird homemade crucifix which is later shown burning, some people in masks dancing around a bonfire, and notably a witch flying on a branch nice shout-out to The VVitch and yeah also a historical thing, "flying ointment", which was a mix of potent toxic hallucinogenic shit was allegedly put on branches and brooms and those were then "ridden". There was furious debate among the clergy as to whether the witches were physically flying or it was just a hallucinogenic effect making them feel like they were flying. Anyway, that's what that is. We also see him on all fours having a wolf's skin draped over him and later seizing on the ground, and i believe this is what actually turns him into a werewolf.

The Farmer and his family, not much to note apart from Lily Rose-Depp's cleft lip which is a choice they made for this movie. Yes, that's Lily Rose-Depp.

Got a hunting party led by Willem Dafoe, this is apparently set right around the time King Edward I passed a decree stating all wolves were to be exterminated so it's unclear whether Willem knows at this point it's a werewolf or just a big, scary fucking wolf ravishing the country, but it wouldn't really make a difference to him. There are many such historical cases of wolves or other mysterious wolf-like beasts being hunted down i.e. The Beast of Gevaudan, The Wolf of Ansbach, etc. Anyway, they seem to be setting traps for it

The Farmer's wife marking his forehead with blood is interesting, i'm not sure exactly what tradition that's referring to, but i assume it's livestock blood, maybe even lamb's blood aaaand it could be a reference to Ezekiel 9:4, wherein God tells some scribe to put a mark on the foreheads of the people in Jerusalem who aren't cool with all the evil shit happening so they'll be protected from divine judgement.

I don't know about this hanged body. Could be someone executed for heresy? Not much to go on

This picture is a depiction of the "Hellmouth", an old medieval motif of the damned being shoveled into the gates of Hell as depicted by the jaws of an enormous monster (generally thought to be Leviathan though that's not strictly confirmed). Anyway, fits in with themes of damnation and religion

Field full of slaughtered livestock, i assume from one of the Farmer's rampages

Naked covered in blood in the rain, this has gotta be the morning after a transformation

The Farmer's daughter seemingly being menaced by the Wolf, and then some shots of him actually transforming in the barn which i assume is gonna be the real money shot of the movie. I don't know who's narrating here, but i assume it's someone from The Witches' Sabbath, maybe even the voice of a demon.

I do not know why The Farmer's Wife is putting her head on this....i wanna say...cow? To listen to it tbh

The Farmer's Daughter again but someone or something is getting ripped the fuck apart right in front of her, could be another member of his family but could also just as easily be livestock

Shot of a funeral in the rain, could be from one of the Wolf's victims, though her face seems pretty intact. Could also be plague, i guess, oh speaking of plague

I have no idea why these people are so deformed. Genuinely. My first thought was tertiary syphilis, i don't know if there's a subplot about a plague ravaging the town, but i'm not sure. That's more of a vampire thing than a werewolf thing. Could just be Medieval worldbuilding i guess

Oh, okay this deformed naked woman pulling The Farmer up by the neck, though, this is interesting, this could be a succubus. Like i said, Devil worship and lycanthropy were very closely linked back in Medieval times. In fact, one of the most notorious accused and executed werewolves, Peter Stubbe/Stumpp/whatever, who was convicted of killing and cannibalizing like 13 children and a couple pregnant women, also "confessed" (under torture) and was convicted of having sexual congress with a succubus sent to him by The Devil, along with having an incestuous relationship with his daughter. Now there are some sexual themes with werewolves i don't think Robert Eggers will probably touch, BUT people are already speculating Peter Stubbe is going to be a heavy influence on this film, and with the weird sex shit Eggers DOES put in his movies, i wouldn't be surprised with a succubus scene.

Brief shot of The Farmer running on all fours with his mouth all fucked up. Now either this is mid-transformation or The Wolf really is just gonna be The Farmer naked on all fours foaming at the mouth. Which isn't unheard of! May I direct your attention to this rather famous picture

Now personally I hope and i don't THINK it's gonna be that, but i wouldn't put it past Eggers

Not sure what the blood stirring is about, oh actually it's probably The Farmer's Wife preparing the blood she marks his forehead with

Some more shots of either The Witches' Sabbath or flashbacks to it, it looks like, with an old crone kissing a skull, a man in a burlap mask like we saw earlier, and that "monk" guy
