baby's first pride | WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS SEASON FIVE

Oh sorry, just over here having intense feelings about Laszlo Cravensworth. Laszlo who feels guilty if he thinks about the bastard children he had as a human. Laszlo who absolutely refused to look at his genealogy records. Laszlo who had a hard relationship with his father and struggled to fit the traditional masculine roles of his time. Laszlo who once impulsively turned a baby into a vampire, then realized it was a terrible plan and a terrible thing to do and abandoned it. Laszlo, who learned his friend was dying and dedicated the months to including him and showing him he was appreciated and liked and creating meaningful memories with him. Laszlo who for weeks couldn't bring himself to say his final goodbyes to his friend's corpse. Laszlo who took one look at Baby Colin and dashed all his other plans without a moment's hesitation so he could reorient his life alive around this new being. Laszlo who had no idea what he was doing but dedicated a year of his life to raising a kid by himself. Laszlo, who struggled to understand this kid but totally adored him. Who called him "my boy". Laszlo, who learned to accept him and not force him to be something he's not. Laszlo, who was able to put parts of his own upbringing into context as he experienced parenthood himself. Laszlo, who spent hours rehearsing music with the kid, and brought him on camping trips, and to the zoo. Laszlo, who watched his son suddenly change. Laszlo, who mournfully played showtunes as his son acted out. Laszlo, whose son was suddenly gone, replaced by a friend he had already mourned, a person who doesn't remember him being a father, or anything about the time they spent together.

That Laszlo.

How many Einsteins have spent their lives washing dishes? How many Mozarts have bent over stoves instead of pianos because they had the misfortune of being a woman?

I really like wwdits, but is it me, or does the story not move forward?

Like, there's baby Colin Robinson at the start of s5 and his and Laszlo's bond, but at the end of the season, Colin Robinson reads all the diaries and has no recollection of the entire season. Then there's Guillermo becoming a vampire, and his slow transition, and at the end of the season, boom, he's not a vampire anymore. S3 is all about the vampires running the vampiric council, but then none of those duties are dealt with again after starting the nightclub, and there are no repercussions whatsoever.

These are just some of the examples I can think of, probably there are more. This could be because they are vampires and so things change at much slower rates as they have such long lives. Yet, it's a little weird that none of the changes really stick.

There's adult Colin Robinson who has dreams of Laszlo being a parental figure, but it hasn't been explored further. There's The Guide who says she's been waiting at the vampiric council headquarters at the start of the Morrigan Manor Episode.

I don't know, just something I observed.

Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being disrespected.
