#i know im relentless but

[peculiarbeauty]

oh great , here rose goes again talking about la belle et la bête .

i think about this quote a lot and it’s just been brought back up so i might finally talk about it more. obviously i cherry pick in diff renditions because many tellings have different accounts but we are cherry picking specifically from jean cocteau here:

the beast: beauty, you mustn't look into my eyes. you needn't fear. you will never see me, except each evening at 7:00, when you will dine, and i will come to the great hall. and never look into my eyes.

beast within jean cocteau’s world is someone who never forces himself upon beauty. he acknowledges how monstrous he looks. how he feels that no human woman could ever love him. with beauty living within his abode , he sees her and is captivated by her. he gives her gifts and wealth of time to herself. when she develops feelings for him , he thinks she is odd. different. strange. this is why i like to separate the original telling from disney when writing here. beast was quite tame in how he approached beauty in this as he did not want to scare her; yes she was his prisoner but he had fallen irrevocably in love with her from the start. he knows that if he was to be made prisoner in a household with a monstrous being , he would not go so easily. i think his gentle heart shows more thoroughly in this scene. and it is quite early on !!! yes he still has a temper .. yes he puts threats out there but it's different in how it's approached.

the beast: i have a good heart, but i am a monster. beauty: there are men far more monstrous than you, though they conceal it well.

beauty is still very headstrong in this. she is true to herself. honest when she feels trapped. honest when she loves someone. i think this is one of the best quotes featured because it IS what the story is about. beauty knows how she might sound but she doesn't care by the end of the story .. which ultimately carries over in most renditions. it's not her fault she has fallen in love with someone like the beast after all. he is more genuine because his heart has been shattered countless times. he has been dealt a heavy blow to his heart. there is a broken man deep within a beast.

going off of beauty's headstrong nature too , she is not afraid to admit that the individual who took her hostage is also the one who is the most gentle here:

beauty's father: beauty, i saw him. that face is hideous. beauty: at first i was indeed afraid, father. now, i sometimes feel like bursting out laughing. but, then i look into his eyes and they're so sad, that i have to turn away from crying.

beast and his sad eyes tend to carry over in many renditions. they say that the eyes are the window of our soul after all. i like to think that every beauty / belle in every story is found to feel something for a man with sad eyes like beast possesses.

beauty: what are you doing at my door at this hour? god, you're covered with blood! the beast: forgive me. beauty: what should i forgive you for? the beast: for being a beast. forgive me.

beast apologizes pretty profusely to her for being the way he is. he wishes he could change it for her and live happily as a human FOR HER .. because he assumes that is what she would want. because there is no one as beautiful and as genuine as she is and she deserves everything.

also , one of my favorite quotes below :

beauty: can such miracles really happen? the beast: you and i are living proof.

not me COMPLETELY wrecked by how genuine this quote is. how two star crossed lovers can find each other in the most unexpected of ways. how fate has led them to each other's side. how they deserve happily ever after :(((

What We Do in the Shadows | 6.11. - "The Finale"

[bottombaron]

oh ok so its the usual no-homo bullshit you always hear, good to know.

[nothumanman]

early nandermo making me cry yet again while rewatching the show

[greykolla-art]

I heard that our dear @beansprean was sick, so I thought it would be nice to dedicate to them a smutty little vampire comic!

(My dude-gender neutral- your stamina for creating so much awesome art and comics is inspiring as hell! I hope you take care of yourself!🖤)

[azultecnicolor]

"I hope this season makes Nandermo canon" bitch what the fuck are you talking about Nandor literally went to outer space just to impress Guillermo, Nandermo has been canon for like at least 3 seasons already

[rottenaero]

Has anyone done this yet??

[verygroovylou]

I'VE CRACKED THE CODE.

ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER.

The reason he said nandermo can't go canon cos nandor is Guillermos boss is ACTUALLY him hinting that they will be canon cos technically nandor is no longer his boss.(I'm completely delusional atp and grasping at whatever crumbs i can)

[nationmckinleyscorset]

In a way each season features a character in more depth than they have been in others

Spoilers for nearly every episode of wwdits so far under the cut

Let me explain

Season 1 introduced everyone but the plotline mostly followed Nadja's affair with the human Gregor, she was coordinating the orgy, she hates werewolves, she hates Laszlo's hat, and she turned Jenna then had an episode half dedicated to her teaching Jenna how to be a good vampire

Season 2 followed Laszlo as the main character, he got their familiars killed off, he discovered the family had a ghost problem, he gave Sean bran scramblies (it wasn't Nandor, Laszlo said "forget everything" and that's what fucked it up), Laszlo became Jackie Daytona for a full episode, Laszlo wrote songs with his wife because his original melodies were being plagiarised, and Laszlo fucked a witch and she returned to steal his semen (he was the first to be abducted)

Season 3 is less obvious in some episodes like The Siren, but I believe the focus is Nandor since he was trying to seduce someone by using the cloak of duplication (even though other characters are in this episode they are all played by him), he attempted to marry a werewolf and was rejected heavily, he and Nadja take over the vampiric council, he forgets to feed the sire then has to track it down to appease vampire kind, he rebukes his vampirism and joins the wellness centre, he is locked up in a cell until he decides to go into a super slumber then when he is woken up too early he basically confirms Colin's death, and he decides to go on an around the world adventure for a year and plans to make Guillermo a vampire on said trip

Season 4 is distinctively about The Guide and Nadja, for the purpose of this we're gonna overlook Nadja (sorry my girl). The Guide has been waiting for the vampires to return for a year because her life revolves around them, The Guide hates change so she receives counselling from Laszlo and we are given her very sexual backstory, we learn she has OCD and an overwhelming crush on Guillermo because of his lineage, we see her working alongside Nadja trying to get new acts for the nightclub and coordinating the wraiths, we see her longing to be included in the night market when she is gifted a box which turns out to be a bribe for the wraiths, we find out she falls in and out of love very quickly in The Wedding and also get the whole makeover sequence which is just <3, we see her at Girls Night in the pine barrens (this episode is less Guide-centric but you can't deny she's in this season a lot more than previous), I can't remember when but she has the "no close female friends" episode with Nadja and we can all empathise or at least sympathise with her character, she helps Nadja in her search for an act for the nightclub and is dedicated to her work right until the end

Season 5 is very much about Guillermo and his new found vampirism, in the mall we see him getting abilities such as better eyesight and the vampires invite him to dinner to try and cheer him up, the whole of dinner he is the main focus of conversation specifically how bad of a vampire he would be, in pride parade he helps plan the pride event and the viewer feels his horror towards the stereotyping throughout the episode, he also is the reason why Nandor goes to space in this episode, he goes to tell his family he is a vampire in local news but keeps being distracted by the vampires, although he doesn't directly interfere with their news problem he commentates on it then basically has to say goodbye to his van helsing familia, he is experimented on by Laszlo which leads to Nadja taking him to urgent care where she discovers he is a vampire and he gives his opinions on the group while doped up, in hybrid creatures he becomes responsible for animals that look like him and Laszlo's experiments continue, in the roast the baron finds out Guillermo burned his in the first place and the episode follows him being chased and almost killed numerous times, at Morrigan Manor he is the only one who The Guide doesn't want to torture and she accidentally reveals his vampire identity, in exit interview he is living with Derek and keeps being visited by the vampires, he eventually has to make up with Nandor and a whole ceremony takes place to turn him back into a human

Season 6 is focused on Colin (I was going to say season 4 but that wouldn't be fair to the guide, technically he has 2 seasons though). This is the least apparent because of the writing but his main themes are raising The Monster and trying to give him a less controlling childhood than he had, he picks out the monsters head using Uber and dances to Latin music with it, he joins Nandor's army while also working from the inside to overthrow Nandor and make him see sense, he sees Laszlo's father as a parental role completely bypassing that Laszlo is his father, he visits an old friend who turns out to want to fuck him and we learn he is less perverted than the other vampires, he gets the first vampire kiss in the whole program, he has many awkward moments in come out and play with various drinks and delaying the groups progress (he is the funniest character in this episode at moments and it really shows), in The Promotion he is named as one of The Monster's dads and The Monster basically takes his last name because he is just wonderful wonderful, I'd like to pretend the finale doesn't exist but in an alternate ending he had 2 babies with Nadja and in the other he had a really dramatic sequence with The Guide where I'm guessing the idea is he was behind everything and the only reason people can't see it is because he was a "boring" character

If I've missed any moments from these specific seasons please fill me in, I had to be careful with season 4 because I've read so much fanfiction I can't remember what's canon for the guide and what isn't (i think I managed to keep fanon away from this but if not... Oops. Live with it)

I'm aware characters cross over in each season (season 1 - Nadja, Laszlo, Jenna and Gregor but they all belong to Nadja in a way) (season 2 - Laszlo, Nadja and Colin in a way) (season 3 - Nandor, Guillermo and towards the end Colin) (season 4 - Nadja, The Guide, baby Colin, Laszlo but they all tie into the nightclub and also I HC Nadja The Guide and Laszlo as a polycule so it's whatever) (season 5 - Guillermo, Nadja - particularly her Antipaxon heritage - and The Guide - her tricky little schemes to make friends such as Morrigan Manor and the hex) (Season 6 - Colin, The Monster, Laszlo as a mad scientist but again this 3 come as a package deal)

This is simply something I noticed earlier today while rewatching season 3 and thinking "hey, Nandors in this a lot more than usual. What is happening?"

I'm also aware gizmo is the main character in every season but fuck it we ball

اگر من دروغ میگم، منو بکش

if i’m lying, kill me.

nandor wouldn’t have done all that shit in season 4 if somebody had just gotten him into my little pony

" ... always giving in ..."

MY PERSONAL WEATHERMAN (2023). Episode 1.

[cottoncandysprite]

Solidifying my prediction on here: Nandor goes to space this episode as part of his one-sided vampire ability dick measuring contest with Laszlo over Guillermo

Like we know he thinks Laszlo's tests are him trying to impress Guillermo, so I can absolutely see him responding by showing off his flight powers to the extent that he goes to space

[paperlignes]

guillermo and nandor from what we do in the shadows season 5 trailer

[nothumanman]

I just found out when exactly Nandor gets Guillermo's sweater!!

So in season 3 ep 3 there's the scene when Nandor comes into Guillermo's room for the ring for Gail and he takes Guillermo's sweater, saying he's "borrowing this towel" and Guillermo says "that's my favourite sweater". Did he keep it. For so long.

[ohbebop]

Got curious about the numbers he's giving out after seeing Guillermo on the floor with sheets of paper filled with random numbers. Is Baby Colin reciting the value of pi when asked for the ATM card PIN? It was not captured but a faint sound of "four" was heard on the last part.

Shockingly, 431024 would be on the 93820th decimal place.
