(ID in alt and under cut)
ID: 1. Waist up of Guillermo and Nandor in bluescale hugging tightly on a glowing golden background, Nandor half stooped down to tuck his face in the crook of Guillermo's neck. Guillermo is gripping Nandor's cape tightly, face buried in the fur at his collar. 2. The same drawing, this time with Guillermo and Nandor colored in more realistic browns, silhouetted by golden light spilling out from behind them. /end ID

Batty pair of eyes creepin'
Aiming like a laser pointer
Poor little vampire baby
We bleed holy water
So why you creepin' 'round here?
i just finished what we do in the shadows s5 (and this post is about the ending(among other things) so spoiler alert!!!!)
i just have to say ohmygod it was so good i cried i laughed i felt every feeling imagineable. but my mian poiny rn is guilermo with the longer hair and the beard was so goddamn hot. he was just so so AAAAAA
also it has been so beautiful to see all the vampires start caring more and more for guillermo this season. lazlo and guillermos relationship has grown so much, we started seeing their friendship last season when they were both raising baby colin robinson togehter. but this season their friesndhip really peaked, with lazlo agreeing to keep guillermo being turned a secret from the others, then helping him through it, then giving him a head start when nandor found out, and then at the end when he helped guillermo take derek to the necromanser. also nadja and guilermos friendship has grown this season too, with the whole urgent care episode being about them (cant remember if they were the real focus but they should always be). it has just been realy nice
also all that nandermo in the last ep was just *chefs kiss*
More theories because i’ve been wondering and I don't remember if the show addresses this
Nadja mentions every vampire has a special skill and that hers is the wall crawl we only see her do, if i remember correctly, BUT she says she's particularly gifted at the crawling on walls which means the others can also do it
Then Laszlo’s gift must be hypnosis, he does it a lot through out the show and is seen to be particularly skilled in it, not just in comparison to nandor but in the Jackie Daytona episode he hypnotized the WHOLE town!!
I made a post about how we see that he’s not particularly skilled at hypnotizing animals BUT he was just taking a really long time at it, we never really get to see if he would’ve succeeded or not and the animals attacking him in this episode could be that they were aware that he was trying to control them, Maybe animals just don’t like him, he has a lot of taxidermies in his room, maybe like Carol smelling vampire deaths on Guillermo, animals know that he’s a hunter?? His animal hypnosis could just be weak from only using it on higher levels on humans???? doesn’t mean it’s not there
i had a dream nandor and guillermo were fighting (probably because of the reveal) and guillermo suddenly hugged him saying something like "you always avoid my hugs" and at first nandor was trying to get away but then he hugged him back and they sat down on the floor and then lied down holding each other thightly for a while
wwdits finale was... not what i had expected. what the fuck were those last two eps :((((
Ohh.. Delight and Sad
Just a couple of days ago I finished watching "What We Do in the Shadows". And now my brain is filled with thoughts about this, especially the relationship between Nandor and Guillermo. Like, what the hell is this?! What is this and why do I like watching it so much?! I am delighted and sad.
All this inspired me to write one plot, as I see the events some time after the finale of the fifth season. Unfortunately, English is not my native language, so together with an online translator we will try to do our best.
I'm over it
Annotation: Life sometimes behaves like a real bitch. And even if vampires have difficult days, what can we say about a small, even very strong, person. This story is just about not the best day.
hurt/comfort
P.S. I apologize for my English, if you notice any mistakes, please let me know. Enjoy reading )
Everything in my eyes became cloudy and swam, like after a month of being an almost-vampire with perfect vision, only ten times worse. The roar of pulsating blood began to grow in my ears, intensifying with every second. Hands reached to the ears in the hope of stopping all this, and the back and the remnants of a sober consciousness tried to feel the wall and floor. It seemed like something hit something while it was “falling,” but the crash didn’t stop the sickening noise and racing heart rate. The blood burned in the veins, like lava drowning in the suffering of Pompeii, it was no longer a matter of what the Owner would think and whether he would want to get to this juicy delicacy. "The familiar has deteriorated, is no longer useful, must be eliminated."
-You know?! I don’t care... - the man tiredly shouted to the vampire standing in front of him, emphasizing the words with a sharply begun, but powerlessly broken wave of his hands. He's tired. Everything is useless, no matter what happens, no matter what he does, no matter what he undertakes, every time it does not lead to the desired result. Even such a desired achievement of the curse of warpirism went wrong. An incomprehensible, terrible transformation of debt, the threat of death, and then the disgusting awareness of one’s insignificance and inability to kill a person for food, as well as the murder of a friend and the one who converted. All this, coupled with the complete return of the vampire house to the same thing as it was, without noticeable changes, is completely unsettling. Of course, Guellermo was much stronger and more resilient than many, many people, but even these have their limits. The point of no return, it is impossible to find and prevent getting beyond it in advance. On your own for sure. After these words, the house in which I had lived for ten years ceased to have any meaning. Something went out in these walls, as if all the candles had been extinguished at once, leaving not a single bright spot. The owner's room, small closet, basement and attic no longer inspired a sense of value and a certain mystical appeal. The paintings turned pale, the wood of the coffin faded and became covered with many defects. And the Master himself... Delacruz no longer looked at him, he didn’t look at anything anymore.
Thinking about this brought waves to the corners of my eyes, ready to break through the dam, by some miracle, of my remaining self-control.
-Guellermo? - with complete lack of understanding in his voice, he pronounced the name Nandor, - Guellermo, stop this. What are you doing? - the vampire said more intensely. But there was no answer. The room continued to fill with heavy, ragged breathing, which meant only one thing: it wasn’t going to get any better. The ruler of Al-Kar-Nadar stood and unsuccessfully called for his familiar, not daring to do anything else, the unusual situation was unfolding right now. This was something that had never been seen before and was completely out of character for him as a person.
- Gellermo, stop this,- says the familiar creature, more timidly and anxiously, no longer trying to understand what is happening. This is reflected in blire eyes Gellermo. But his was no longer in this world and situation. Sadness, pain, despair, panic and a lot of unexpressed things could no longer be inside and burst out into the open with trembling and tears rolling continuously down the cheeks, leaving furrows so similar to scars. It doesn't matter what happens next anymore. Life has no meaning, because there is no longer any purpose or meaning behind it. The wish came true, but it turned into a curse, all the torment and torture were in vain, he was left completely alone.
You won’t return to your family, there is no one in this house, you just a convenient tool that, if broken and no longer needed, is easier to throw away or... eat.
The glassy, slightly trembling pupils in the reddened eyes rose and pinned the Master to his place. Whose eyes immediately widened in concern.
- Mr., Nandor, kill me,- the voice never wavered during the last words. Who said this now? Which part of the consciousness wanted to stop everything or whether it was a mutual decision, even the speaker himself would not give an answer.
- Guellermo, what are you saying? Any nonsense again? Guellermo, don't irritate me. Guellermo, is everything okay? - questions, continuous questions rained down from the bearded lips, but no answer was heard, only a silent movement of the lips with three readable words “useless”, “kill”, “me”. The room floated, and the words, like a mantra, spread throughout all its corners, creeping in and saturating everything with their poison. There is nothing left to lose, everything is left somewhere there, decades ago, in the past. My hands lay lifeless on the floor, my head hung, I no longer had the strength to block out the noise and wipe away the river of tears. All that was left was a submissive expectation of death from the Master’s never-known fangs.
All the years lived dissolve in the stream of consciousness, ironically, tinting only the most negative things. He was not successful in anything: not as VanHelsing, not as a bodyguard, not as a friend and family member, and certainly not as a vampire. Through the veil you can hear a light crack and something heavy falls nearby. The soft antique fabric touches the bare skin, surprisingly grounding and at least a little tearing you out of the abyss of terrifying thoughts.
A voice, surprisingly gentle, with those same foreign notes that have disappeared, crackles nearby. Guellermo can’t make out a word, but for some reason his soul becomes so calm.
Nandor will demand an explanation later, but for now he will remain here in a half-whisper, humming a lullaby that has sunk into summer. He presses closer and feels his familiar head fall on his shoulder, hears his breathing gradually stabilize and sees his man fall asleep...
With one movement of the hand, all doors leading into the room are locked. No one is allowed to disturb or see. The last latch moves into the guard position with a quiet but reliable click, everything is done, the vampire has secured his territory. The head falls back with relief, the pupil falls to the side and examines the trembling man. Halfway through asking the question, the realization came that there would be no answer anyway. The cloak carefully slid off the shoulder and covered the one who pressed closer. Now all that's left to do is wait. Awakenings, explanations and lulls of unknown warmth in the eternally cold military heart.
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.
