you know, i can handle a little bit of fun "Nandor is dumb" talk, but i have a net-zero tolerance for any implication that Nandor is not educated.

Nandor would have been incredibly educated in his lifetime.

even (or especially) as a soldier in the Islamic World. being a soldier was more like getting sent to boarding school that's also a military camp. they weren't just concerned with creating loyal fodder for war. they were building the next government officials, generals, accountants, advisors, etc. it was important that young men knew how to read, write, speak multiple languages, learn philosophy...sometimes even studying art and music was mandatory.

if he was nobility (and its most likely he was), take all that shit and multiply it exponentially. Nandor would have been reading Plato at the same age most people are still potty training. he would have been specifically groomed in such a way to not be just a brilliant strategist and warrior, but also diplomate and ambassador of literally the center of scientific and cultural excellence of the age.

so like yeah, he can be a big dummy sometimes, sure. but that bitch is probably more educated than any of us will ever be.

seeing people call what we do in the shadows s5 queerbaiting is going to make me violently ill

[daddysropepuppy]

throwing you a bone (heh) cause I wanna know your thoughts. Ramble about vampires. What do you like about them? Have a favorite vampire?

i had so much to say so if u care to read it it's under the cut :-)

ok so i have a lot of opinions on vampires but im not going to share all of them now (partly bc im planning to put those ideas into a paper at some point and i don't want to spoil the writing process for myself lmao) so my favorite vampires by far are louis, claudia, and lestat from the interview with the vampire tv show. there are characters who are vampires that i love more than those three (nandor from what we do in the shadows comes to mind) but in my opinion, that show is the best modern version of vampires. because vampires are monsters, and monsters symbolize something that a culture is scared of, and a lot of modern vampire stories forget that. i understand that not everyone want to see vampires as monsters, but i am very firm in my belief that vampires always should be monsters. that being said, i think there's a lot to analyze in iwtv (2022) of what people both from the past timeline and the present timeline are scared of, especially as it correlates to race, queerness, and femininity. i cannot go into more detail right now because i have not studied any of the iwtvs in an academic context, so i do not feel comfortable putting an unbacked opinion on something that i want to feel strongly about.

i do think that most modern vampire stories are largely disappointing. twilight and its copycats are disgraces to the vampire name, and even wwdits, which i love so dearly, is yet to show a real understanding of why culturally vampires exist.

as far as sexual reasons, because i do have a vampire kink, it has a lot to do with desire and submission. i feel a lot of insecurity about being desired, and i often don't believe when someone claims that they want me, so to have tangible proof, such as bite marks in my skin and my blood being sucked up, that that person desires me, then i am much more likely to believe it. as far as submission, i feel very comforted when i am able to submit to someone, and if someone is able to force or compel me to submit, then i am able to find that comfort more quickly. i think there might be a few other reasons why i find vampires so erotic, but i haven't psychoanalyzed them yet so there's nothing interesting to talk about in them.

Actually,,,,,,I'd like to add to the whole theory conversation :))))

While it is possible something angst like Nandor becoming human and dying could happen,,,the other anon was right. Its a comedy and wwdits isn't gonna let a sad main character death be one of the last things we see in a series finale.

So hear me out,,,,,here's my take: Nandor realizes he wants to undo his vampirism and becomes a human. Its all sadn and somber and Guillermo and the other vamps realize they're gonna eventually have to see Nandor die and vow to make the most of it or smthn.

The second after all of the angsty stuff is over, Nandor goes outside to watch the sunset for the first time and *BAM* he get mauled by a wearwolf and becomes a wear wolf and he's like "F U C K". The end. Credits roll.

This is hilarious and I love it.

Also man people are coming at me for thinking Nandor will die. You’re right that they probably won’t. It was just an idea I had.

Are werewolves immortal in WWDITS? I don’t know lol

[angelicughart]

@bom-beii ahhh thank u!! 🥰 a few people have asked me for this and its not a bad idea👀 i would love to make some wwdits merch at some point!! just gotta come up with ideas for how i’d want them to look, but its definitely been on my mind lately

[seefasters]

okay but. guillermo's boyfriend leaving him because he fell in love with himself, which in turn only happened because nandor can't stand when things are not about him. is hysterical and so poetic

[modernbaseball]

ppl who are coming out as s4 dislikers now that the season has one more ep left and is clearly not going to get better are braver than any US marine

[natjennie]

the way wwdits immediately made us all horny in the victorian sense, like we faint if we see ankle. indescribable. remember when we all lost our collective shit about nadja showing a little cleavage in the portrait. guillermo pushes up his sleeves and our tongues hang out of our mouths like dogs. it happened so quickly. nandor in the workout shorts devastated the mlm community.

[beetleprophet]

today is an All My Special Interests day

[bottombaron]

fics where Nandor is all, "i wish Guillermo would stop calling me 'Master' and use my name" like ahdkgj have you met this man??

[isabellaofparma]

nandor is in love with guillermo. no,i don't take criticism

[instantarmageddon]

Dating Nandor Would Include...

Okay so I’m taking a quick break from Steven Grant just to say, In the words of Sufjan Stevens, ‘I fell in love again’. This is just short and sweet to get my feels out and test writing for WWDITS!

I HAVE to start this off by stating how absolutely frickin in love I am with his weird retro 80s outfits from Season 3. I don’t know whether I want to steal his outfits, go hula hopping and to jazzercize with him, or just both.

Got to be completely honest, it took Nandor just a tad too long to ask you out. He’s a self professed duff with modern relationships, and as much as his undead heart ached for you, sadly no amount of yearning could physically wish himself into this relationship. Mainly, he kept on demanding that Laszlo approach your desk at work every lunch time for a week. After a lot of swearing and complaining, his flatmate finally relented, and so at the same time every day Laszlo would approach you with a rose and his lute. Poor Nandor sticks out like a sore thumb as he cowers behind his friend, and although he keeps nervously peeking over his shoulder from time to time to gauge your reaction, there’s still a bright smile on his face the whole while.

He does a little jump skip out of the door when you finally manage to get a word in edge wise and agree to go out to the nearby smoothie bar with him out of work. He manages to fall over the trash bin though, and he has to play it all suave when he saunters down the stairs after ten minutes of Laszlo trying to pull him out of the trash by his long swinging legs.

He was SO N E R V O U S the whole time. The poor boi, you just wanted to reach out across the table and hold his hand, he looked so flustered. He didn’t know what to do with his arms, and his legs kept on bumping against the bottom of the table as he tried to talk to you. 

None of it mattered, though. Because when the date was over, and he offered you his arm and to escort you back home through the local ‘bussing service’, he nearly lost his mind when you reached up and pressed a warm kiss against his soft cheek. He couldn’t speak for a moment, letting out a surprised huff as he used his other hand to reach up and press against the still damp spot.

It was like all his dreams, all his life ambitions had come true at once, and suddenly the world and his place in it seemed to make sense again. It was the most alive he had felt in over seven hundred years. Perhaps, although he was afraid to admit it to himself, ever.

I feel like he would be the BEST hugger. Just like - so warm, and so soft, and his beard would always be combed through and smell like warm spices and pear as it scratches against your head. I feel he’s the sort of person to hug you in one of two ways once you start dating: those big ass strong biceps will come running towards you every time he sees you in the house, sweeping you off your feet and into his chest as he spins you around a very disgruntled looking Nadja. Or, he likes to surprise you by sneaking up behind your back and tucking his arms tight around your shoulders. He leans his head on yours, feeling his jaw move as he carries on his conversation with Guillermo, now wrapped around you like a tired bat.

A lot of evenings are spent just talking about his past, the future, the Baron’s visit - just everything and nothing in his bedroom. He’s sitting cross legged in his coffin, leaning his broad shoulders against your stomach as you play with the strands of his long hair. He’s careful not to put his full weight on you - not to hurt you, but he is comfortably nestled into your chest like a shy bird. As you run the brush through the tufts by his ear, sometimes he’ll let you stroke it back and place glitter butterfly clips into the fringes. 

Hmmmm he loves to wrap his cape around your shoulders and entrap you in the warm cocoon with him when the house is freezing. As Laszlo breaks down the top of his harpsicord to relight the fire, Nandor pulls you onto the sofa butt first, until you’re sitting across his thighs and he’s got you trapped on his lap.

He’d 100% be an absolute massively love-struck fool - full on beaming heart eyes, butterfly shrouded stomach, weak knees when he falls in love with you, and he’d be the sort of guy to annoy all his flatmates by teasingly chasing you around the house and knocking over all of Nadja’s stuff.

It’s so sweet how he steals Guillermo’s fridge, just so he can make you feel more at home by having access to your favourite snacks in his room. He also sets up a slightly dusty and creaky camping bed for you beside his coffin. Sometimes you’ll wake up in the middle of the morning, the honey dew sunrise just seeping through the edges of the ancient drapes and illuminating the warm walnut of his coffin. He’s opened the side slightly, and has slid his large hand through. It takes you a moment to realise the warm, heavy feeling against your fingers is the feeling of that said hand clasped tightly against your own.

Ngl, this big adorable toddler of a man needs help changing out of his lustrous, furry capes and boots at the end of each night. He’s slightly ticklish, and not used to caring touches, so he gets all whiny and blushy when your fingers brush against the patches of stubble under his chin, or the sensitive spot against the nape of his neck when you stroke down to lift up his shirt.

Don’t tell his flatmates, but in his spare time he still does all that wellness fitness stuff. Many a time has Laszlo wandered in to find you helping him do his hip thrusts, or in a very compromising candlestick lifts with his thick thighs in your face.

He’s a BIG neck kisser, but he likes to start with your arms. He’ll glance up at you fervently behind dipped eyelids, lust and adoration both swirling in his dark irises as his plump lips luxuriously start sweeping their way up your knuckles, then your forearm, before working his way up to your lips.

He fully drapes himself over you during kisses. As in, crumped over your body until there’s no space in between, hands cradling your face as if you’re the most precious cabochon in the world. As his chest heaves against you, he’s not sure where you end and he begins - but it doesn’t matter. Not anymore. You’re more of him than he’s ever been, all the best bits of him amalgamated into the most precious being that will ever exist, in his most humble opinions.

Okay this is my money prediction:

However fast Colin ages hes clearly going to be very close to uncle memo. And we’re pretty sure the last ep has to have something to do with colin’s memories (but we know how wwdits can clown us).

My prediction is Guillermo was planning to shore up funds to live a real life and leave, as both something he is rightfully owed and something he needs to have to go live a real life (moving etc right now is a pain in the ass, imagine if u had 10 years of little money to help it and no job history).

We’ve all believed Guillermo was skimming before and from the victims they ate. But then he had a year assumedly without that money. Nevermind that could have never been enough to live a real life.

I think Colin will prbly help Guillermo with wherever the money is stored, there has to be something from his jobs, any investing, all the years of little expenses. I think its gonna come down to Guillermo having the real chance to flee with enough money to set himself up…

And we’ll prbly be left with him deciding whether hes gonna do it or not
