Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think Guillermo still wants to be a vampire.

The entire transformation traumatised him. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. Derek nearly killing him and spraying the entire shop with Guillermo's blood, Derek not knowing how to train and prepare him for becoming a vampire like Nandor would undoubtedly have done, the transformation itself being really fucking slow and how the entire ordeal wrecked Guillermo's friendships, especially with Nandor who he cared most about and them just not knowing anything about how the transformation is supposed to work while Nandor knew everything down to the Van Helsing heritage and even how all Guillermo needed all this time was simply blood. Imagine you're going to France for your honeymoon and then miss your flight, have the plane engine break down, lose your luggage, lose your room in the hotel because you were late, have your possessions stolen in the middle of the night, drop your phone at the Eiffel tower, get mugged on the street, get sick only for things to end in divorce. This was the exact same thing. You want to get married and you want to go on your honeymoon. You just got the wrong person and the wrong time.

Guillermo needs the right person and the right time. He got neither the first time around.

That being said, they could have easily resolved the issue if Guillermo just said he could drink from a cup

If anyone says the finale was OCC for Guillermo and Nandor, I would just like to point out this scene

Nandor has always thought Guillermo was too soft to be a vampire. And not in a bad way, he simply knew Guillermo wouldn't be happy with a vampire life.

"Vampirism is a curse, and I care for you too much to burden you with it."

He tried to warn him this entire time.

Also, Guillermo unwilling to kill humans is nothing new this season either. On the contrary, it's really consistent with his character. This boy murdered an entire household of vampires he's never met just to save a group of humans he's known for only a few days. He's always been on the side of humans.

Nandors reluctance to turn him wasn't because he's selfish and doesn't want to lose a perfectly good familiar, but because he doesn't want Guillermo to be unhappy. But at the same time can't let him go so he can have a healthy and safe life because he loves him. He loves him so much he can't turn him nor let him go. And Guillermo didn't understand that until now.

The miscommunication trope strikes again.

I'm this close to forgiving Nandor for his actions in s4 because of how pathetically in love he is this season

OK so remember when Jenna was temporarily dead in her transition to becoming a vampire

Well I don't think we've had that with Guillermo yet. Maybe that's how Nandor finds out. He finds his corpse in the living room on a random day, proceeds to mourn him which makes him finally realise how he feels, only for Guillermo to pop up with blood red eyes in the middle of a eulogy and then flee in bat form.

So Nadja is like every dad ever.

Never tells you she loves you, or even likes you, is always critical, doesn't like emotions, yells a lot, spits everywhere, never shows any signs she cares for you, but would tear down an institution to keep you safe.

The way WWDITS is the complete opposite of Good Omens in regards to immortality.

In Good Omens, the more these two spend on Earth, the more they adopt human behaviours and practices, ex., dancing, kissing, etc.

Meanwhile, in WWDITS, the more time passes, the more detached from their humanity the vampires become. The older they get, the more inept they are at expressing their feelings and cope with their emotions.

The ineffables have never been separated from each other until now and only now can they understand what that actually means. While the vampires have experienced loss repeatedly throughout the centuries which has caused them to be desensitised and has taught them not to even get attached in the first place because "nothing lasts forever".

And it takes both these groups to be around a human/s to understand how to cope with emotions and to bring them back in touch with their humanity. The ineffables never having learned in the first place, while the vampires had forgotten a long time ago.

Not enough people are talking about how while the vampires were conversing they were all worried for THE BARON. Not for Guillermo. They KNOW just how fucking dangerous he is and I love that

Taika and Jermaine had the opportunity to commit mass genocide upon millions of already devastated queer people if they had Silvia out of nowhere actually stab Nandor with the stake right infront of Guillermo

Mark Mothersbaugh deserves more recognition for beautifully managing to time notes that deliver sadness, danger, humor, love, comedy, ridiculousness, action, while not overwhelming the scene itself and knowing just when to leave the silence during heavy and serious moments
