Been thinking on writting little fics (promps, AUs, OCs, etc) like drabbles or ficlets to learn how to write and also just for fun.
GUILLERMO AND NANDOR WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS (2019-) SEASON 5, EPISODE 10: EXIT INTERVIEW
You construct intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men
I keep seeing people talking about Nandor turning human and how that could be the Nandermo happy ending....
And I. Guys, guys, the problem, the tragedy, the fucking tragedy of it all is that if Nandor turned human he'd regret it and hate it just as fast, just as much, as Guillermo did with vampirism.
He doesn't want to be a human, he wants what humanity represents for him in his head (meaning, purpose, companionship). He doesn't want the reality of it, he doesn't want to have a job, or worry about finances, or age, or die.
And in the exact same way Guillermo doesn't really want to be a vampire, he wants what it represents (meaning, purpose, companionship). He doesn't want the reality of it, he doesn't want to kill people, he doesn't want to say goodbye to his family....
They are the same but in opposite directions. It's a tragedy. It's the dynamic of all time. It's delicious and I don't know how the writers are going to fix it without it feeling cheap, but I can't wait.
Is fix when Guillermo and Nandor understand their problems and change the dynamics they have between them and also with the rest of the house. This season was about the problems of don't change and jeep the same bad dynamics over and over again ans being stagnate, and the problems that brings wanting to not change as a person but find a "fast" and "easy" way to fix things and making a change without don't really change nor fix anything. That's the journey that their are doing as well on a minor scale other characters
Actually, uh, I drink lots of fluids. Red fluids. Much like your wine. Except it is not wine.

when blorbo from your show has their own little meow meow ❤️
When Guillermo tried to transform in a bat and only his ears changed it was like, you know, kinda like The Sire. Will he transform in someone like the Sire?
Almost every piece of media ever: fat characters either don’t exist or they’re undesirable obnoxious clumsy jokes, and bisexual goth girl vampires are evil seductresses who use their incredible charms to get their way
WWDITS, making Laszlo a pornstar who’s had some sort of sexual relationship with a majority of the characters, Guillermo a hot hypercompetent badass with a lot of sexually-coded scenes and several people interested in him, and Nadja a loud weird cringefail loser who sucks at flirting and wishes she had an armadillo for a son: yeah fuck that thanks
Yeah, one of the things that I really like of the show is that there is no extra pale thin western Canon of beauty character like no where. The only western white euro centric character is kinda Afanás, but actually no at the same time bc Doug is hyper slender and tall.
Sexual themes
I hate that Marwa is a plot device and not a full fleshed character. She exist just for men and live in relation to them, and she even was transformed and obliterated by one to be a man. I don't want her with Nandor, The Djinn nor any other men or male creature. I want her just being her and having a beautiful life full of wonder and as far as possible of this fucking house and its ppl.
Nandor is such a piece of shit, Freddie was fucked up, and Marwa deserved better. I'm so disappointed. I know they had to create chaos and problems for the next season, but wtf, also Lazslo leaving Nadja for money? don't make sense even if then he comeback and Nadja knew it, Totally agree that they can also have couple problems and is ok, but this was like ???? Teen Colin Robinson was the best thing, honestly. Evanescence and Papa Roach? on point for a late first decade of the 2000s teen
evolution of marwa’s voice (based on that one post)
the infantilization, thus deshumanization of Marwa by being totally subyugated thanks to the fucking fucker of Nandor
I'm begging people to stop hanging your hats on every little thing the cast or writers say and just watch the show if you want to know what happens next. They're not going to give away the ending in an interview. You're not ever going to get the confirmation you want from their soundbites, and you're also not ever going to get the confirmation that you DON'T want from their soundbites. It's net zero information.
Enjoy the interviews for fun tidbits about bts shenanigans and stories about on-set birthdays and who makes who break the most. Don't treat them as gospel over the actual text of the show???? And finally – have some sympathy for people who are being interviewed, as it's really hard and nervewracking to do, and you sometimes don't say exactly what you mean.
Have fun y'all, keep it fun, please.
U most be the soul of the party. I'm totally agree that ppl can say things they dont mean, but also their own interpretations regardles of what the creators team as a whole plans and stablish which also is totally valid to want to know and expect that maybe could become a reality for the show. In the other hand, i also belive in dead of the author and that we shold understand whats going on in the show aired don't being important what the creators say outside of it,
BUT
u are just being mean and a cop of the fun, so
i want them.
Will be measuring all future Goth Power Couples on this alignment chart for reference:
How good are they, how evil are they, how dumbass are they?
I fully endorse this chart, @f--e-u-e-r-t-r-u-n-k-e--n
Nadja implied that Guillermo had "daddy issues/kink" bc when Guillermo started being Nandor's familiar he had 19. So, 19 yo latino boy saw this tall, broad, emigrant men, who had long hair and beard, and with cloth embroided with gold and gems and surrended himself without knowing was an idiot. For him it must had been 1000x times better than any dream he had with Antonio Banderas' Armand. And Nadja has seen aaaall the stages of that relationship
If this post reaches 1000 reblogs or more I'm gonna make a fan art about it which would be my first fanart of the show. U can check out my art account on IG @umbrartworks , I don't post often bc I'm terrible depressed and also being disable makes things harder for me, but maybe this gonna bust my mood to work
