#Urgent Care

[neo--queen--serenity]

The whole vampire household has been touting how Guillermo is “just Nandor’s familiar” for over 4 seasons now. And even at the beginning of this episode, Nadja says it again! She says, “why don’t you take him to urgent care, Nandor, he’s your familiar.”

But once Nadja gets him to urgent care, and the vampire doctor says he’s going to put Guillermo down, she immediately says, with no hesitation, “You can’t do that! Because…because he’s OUR familiar!!!!”

Not just Nandor’s. OURS. And then she proceeds to fuck up that entire clinic to save Guillermo, to protect him and bring him home, even after learning about him being turned already. That’s the good found family shit right there.

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS // 5X06 URGENT CARE

[blitzsicedcoffee]

Urgent care doc: okay so Im gonna put you on propanalol, your heart rate could be contributing to your increased migraines and why it isn't going away. Are you getting enough fluids? You know your heart rate is way high.

Me: oh Its always that high.

Doc: it is??????? (Visibly concerned)

[boneshine]

Can we just um can we we just um look at the Guide for a minute okay?

I'm STILL reeling over the pure uncut and undeniably heartwarming aspects of this week's episode you guyssss

Nandor putting in time and effort to help Colin Robinson feed and then having a small emotional breakdown when he passed out and immediately bringing him to Laszlo? Laszlo and Nandor working together to get Colin re-energized? Colin then spending the time to transfer back some of the energy he siphoned from Nandor to bring him back to normal? Nadja actually taking Guillermo to get help for his broken foot? Nadja going absolutely fucking FERAL to protect Guillermo's life??? Guillermo unabashedly gushing over how much he loves everyone at that house while simultaneously lovingly insulting them? Nadja and Laszlo keeping Guillermo's secret from Nandor, someone they have lived with and loved for literal centuries???

I think it's safe to say none of us were expecting the wholesomeness, but MAN is it so fucking satisfying.

Aside from all that tho, I also want to discuss the possible implications and significance of Nadja defending Guillermo so fiercely and the episode culminating in Nandor getting serious and a little angry for a moment. Because I think this episode's storyline specifically served to foreshadow Nadja and Laszlo having to protect and defend Guillermo against Nandor, who might fly into a blind rage as a result of what he would almost surely interpret as a devastating betrayal. His deep hurt from discovering the truth might overpower every other rational thought, and he might very well try to kill Guillermo even though we all know he wouldn't really want to.

And if this ends up being the case, it will be SUCH an interesting parallel and contrast to the opening of season 3, where the situation was reversed - where Nandor spent an entire MONTH fighting to protect Guillermo's life against Nadja and Laszlo's murderous intentions.

THE LOVE IS STRONG AND SO SO REAL, THE STAKES ARE HIGH, AND I AM TERRIFIED

What We Do In The Shadows

Urgent Care

[old-type-40]

I didn't go deep into the WWDITS tag but I hadn't seen anyone gif'ing this moment but wanted to make certain it was captured.

[neo--queen--serenity]

I can’t get over the fact that we’ve never, not ever, seen Colin Robinson this vulnerable before (excluding his year of youth where he didn’t have his memories).

We’ve never seen Colin tell the others he’s suffering, hungry, tired, or hurting. We’ve never seen him ask for help, because he always seems so self sufficient.

So when he hung off Nandor and begged him to “take me home. I wanna go home,” my heart melted for him on the spot

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS // 5x06 URGENT CARE

[pandoramoments]

Katara fell to her knees as she forced all thoughts of Azula from her mind; she needed to help Zuko.

Her friend was unconscious, but still breathing, the horrific burn on his chest was enough to turn her stomach, but it didn't slow her down. Zuko needed urgent care and she would do her best to provide it!

This was posted yesterday, but tumblr (or more likely, my phone) decided to glitch with the posting and it wasn't here when I got up this morning. Thankfully, I still have the picture, just needed to rewrite my words.
