I think you can learn so much about a person based off of their favourite bit of vampire media. I’ll go first mine is What We Do in the Shadows (movie and tv show) and Blade (just the character in general).

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.
#wwdits#nandor the relentless#Nandor#what we do in the shadows#i think its obvious by how much Nandor loves to read that he grew up educated#it's one of my favorite character traits of his#anyways#this was just your local psa abt the depth of Nandor's character and intelligence#and how the medieval islamic world was like - so much more advanced than it's western counterpart it's hilarious how ppl mischaracterize it#(by hilarious i mean it makes me want to break something)#this was in my drafts lolol what did i read that made me vent this? idk#also 'islamic world' is just a term some historians use to describe a specific geographical location and historical age#kind of how 'western world' is used today#it doesn't mean it's specific to one religion or nation but the broader time and location#meaning that Al Qolindar or Persia or Ilkhanate or w/e you want to call where Nandor came from#the same expectations of education and it's vibrant social/cultural world remain an accurate image of the middle east in the medieval age#if you come from the west like me#think The Forum + The Library of Alexandria + Paris/Florence + and idk anything else u think of when u think of 'Western Excellence'#and then imagine of all of that in one place at one time and then u might get close to what the world Nandor was living in as a human

WWDITS s4 writers were really on some kinda Nandermo shit. What was Night Market. What was Marwa kissing Guillermo after publicly declaring she likes everything Nandor likes. Huh
#wwdits#nandermo#currently doing my annual rewatch in preparation for s6#s4 is just. insane. in terms of nandermo content. and i haven’t seen s5 in a while but i remember it feeling quite toned down

اگر من دروغ میگم، منو بکش
if i’m lying, kill me.
#dont mind me im just excited about hearing nandor speak farsi#god. now that he knows farsi imagine all the pet names he can have for guillermo#i once made a post about some persian terms of endearment#also i wanna note that spoken farsi is kinda different from written farsi#and nandor knows how to use spoken farsi. except for the word ‘if’ which he used in it’s written form#it made him sound like someone who has just learned farsi#wwdits#nandor the relentless#nandermo#wwdits spoilers#what we do in the shadows#kayvan novak

Look, I'm reading lots of different opinions about what happened to Guillermo in this finale but can we all agree on something?: on s6 he better be back to being a SLAYER
Sorry but this is the hottest he ever looked, Vampire? Human? Hybrid? I don't give a shit I want him to be a KILLING MACHINE again.
#i know the show use 'vampire killer' but i like the term slayer bc of buffy brainrot#i didnt like anxious scared guillermo of s5 that much#guillermo de la cruz#wwdits#wwdits spoilers

so this thought isn't very well formed yet but I wanted to know how the people who's been on here since circa 2012 thinks about how the nature of fandom discourse has changed or stay the same. How does the new good omens/ofmd/what we do in the shadows (??? is that the third one???) triumvirate stack up with 2012 OG superwholock whose name I can finally say out loud without wanting to lock myself in a fridge? Is it as insane? does it even qualify? To me I think it doesn't because like. tumblr really is the best site out there for fandom culture and I know there's a whole lot of very hot takes in the ofmd fandom being made on tiktok or insta now instead, and i've dipped my feet there a bit, and it doesn't feel the same. idk. superwholock entrenched every corner of this shithole to the point it leaked out to other sites. but sometimes i see posts there like 'i've never watched a show before that has altered my brain chemistry this much' and the james franco "first time?" meme pops in my head and how time is a circle that is, in this case, a decade long lol. what are we thinking about the recent generation of discourse.
#fandom#fandom culture#tumblr culture#fandom discourse#good omens#ofmd#what we do in the shadows#wwdits#our flag means death#discourse#go#superwholock#UNHOLY#supernatural#sherlock#doctor who#in terms of show creator's attitude towards its fanbase tho truly rip the superlock fandom lol GO and ofmd has it waaaay better#does that affect the discourse?

i was initially a bit disappointed that protocol won't be (publicly) released until january, because i had been expecting it to come out earlier, but with the sheer amount of stuff coming out this year, it's probably for the best lol. my brain needs some time to process everything else first before it can shift into full-time magnus mode again.
#i mean i'm still not over good omens s2 (as you can probably tell if you follow me lol)#and then there's the wwdits s5 finale in a couple of weeks#plus the final season of bbc ghosts. and the full release of slay the princess. and the doctor who 60th anniversary specials#and probably a bunch of other stuff i'm forgetting here#summer/autumn 2023 is a very intense time for me in terms of media i'm into#probably best not to add my no. 1 special interest into that mix lol#and at least i backed protocol on kickstarter so there's the digital premiere in october to look forward to#(i started my period today and feel like total shit but right now nothing could stop me from magnus blogging)#the magnus protocol#tmp#tmagp

I think one of the things I adore about WWDITS is that queer sexuality is a normal part of their world. It's like, they never make it into a big deal, but at the same time, it's so integral to the characters that it can never be ignored. The way it feels to be around people to whom queerness is normal is reflected so well in that show.
#personal#wwdits#Now if only we had more media where queerness#but more in terms of gender diversity#was a normal part of the world#like that webseries caleb gallo came close with the character freckle

while doing research for another theory I came across a completely mundane detail that I can’t imagine holding any actual significance but at the same time I couldn’t pass up sharing it
so, during the scene that I am calling the Pepsi Challenge, we have this moment:
Nandor gives Guillermo, as he says, a “flat Pepsi”
except Guillermo doesn’t drink Pepsi…
my boy is a Coke-Cola drinker as the lord intended.
normally this isn’t even worth mentioning. maybe the line was ad-libed or read wrong, or it’s just a joke that wasn’t thought about very long and that’s all good! i’m cool with all that. what would this inconsistency even mean in the long run anyway right? how would Nandor even know the difference between Coke and Pepsi???
really what gets me is that in the scene the bottle is set and reset two or more times, almost always keeping the label visible.
now, it’s been a while since i’ve been thru this issue on a set, but my understanding was that no labels could be used without paying a licensing fee. which is why you usually see fake labels on products in tv and film or more likely, they just turn a product at an angle so the label can’t be read and nobody has to pay anything to use it. but here the label is not only clearly visible but it maintains visibility at almost all cuts. which means the bottle was purposefully realigned in order for audiences to see that Guillermo is undoubtably drinking Coke-Cola. wwdits paying a licensing fee for this seems a little odd considering it’s not like Guillermo drinking Coke is important in anyway. it doesn't give significant product-placement either. but then Nandor brings up the flat Pepsi and i’m like ??? and if anyone says that Guillermo drinks both, shut your goddamn mouth and jump in a lake and when you climb out find the nearest convenience store and drink one or both of them because obviously you never had before and have no idea what you’re talking about. the two drinks are notorious for, if one is liked, the person would find the other absolutely disgusting.
also, yes, Guillermo didn’t just have it for show. he actually drunk it.
again, i’m not saying this means anything. i just think it’s interesting. 🤷♂️
#wwdits#what we do in the shadows#guillermo de la cruz#wwdits season 5#i mean i CAN read into it if i needed to#i can read significance into almost anything lol#for example:#something something Pepsi taste challenge was ultimately a marketing failure b/c while Pepsi was sweeter than Coke at first#it proved too sweet overall#or by google search: its an example of the difference between what they think they want and what they actually want in the long term#or maybe Kayvan just likes saying ‘Pepsi’ in his Nandor voice more than ‘Coke’ and honestly i wouldn’t blame him#at /most/ this would only serve to add to the unsettling feeling of that scene of Nandor serving drinks#and only if you know that Guillermo drinks Coke or what flat Pepsi tastes like#anyways - back to a comprehensive layout of the mansion for my next theory...
