#just like the wwdits season finale i can't believe this

[lestcat-de-lioncourt]

how do you think they are going to go about the story telling for tvl

i know it won’t be a wwdits style but it is a funny thought

I am curious myself. It's brought surprise and wonder, and parts which capture it well already, but also what I wouldn't have thought.

I think at least season 3 will be dramatic, or Lestat will be tired of some things Louis has to say, as Louis has lied, embellished, or totally misremembered aspects of their time together, but similarly, this will happen even if different parties who exit a relationship believe that they're telling the truth, so it'll be good to see where they take Lestats perspective.

I think there will be some inclusion of Nicolas de Lenfent, how Lestat ended up in Paris, and there's teasers, musical tracks, and talk already of his music career. The inspiration for his music is partly a surprise, not what I'd expect, but it also makes sense. They may have changed this/will change it with filming, though.

Magnus. I'd say they'd include him. He is a difficult character for me, but I hope they tell the injustice that was faced, rather than how he was painted too nice in the QOTD movie, not to mention replacing him with Marius (or pretending he didn't exist at all amd it didn't happen to Lestat) however much I loved the movie.

This one I expect we will finally see more about the reality of Lestat, rather than through Louis' adoring and hatefully complex perspective.

In the past, we've not had much book to media, about that, not deeply, and not a way a movie can really intricately capture some complex stories, which is why I support the development of book series being made into a TV series opposed to one movie at a time. There's too much to these, and even if the series is an adaption, I believe it's capturing the essence well in a variety of ways.

Lestat is complex, he's problematic, he's experienced trauma, and living as a queer man in a place that was old fashioned, and as time draws on that will be not as hard, being out won't be, with The Vampire Lestat I don't know if they will delve into that but I feel we will certainly see some of it, the creation of him, his side which could be lies, or could be the truth, or simply, his perspective.

From the teaser, he already looks tired and fed up, having to sift through what Louis has to say.

There's a lot they can do, to say the least. I'm not disappointed so far, I know there are many who are, but that's just me. I don't mind that it's not wholly accurate to the book, and they haven't stated any falsified information that it would be exactly the same either.

I'm thinking Armand will be in it, flickering around the timelines.

I'm hoping to see a role given to Lestats mother, Gabrielle. It would be nice to see her finally shedding the feminine clothes and roles she never liked it the first place, and seeing her free within vampirism. It works for some! Haha. I don't know if they will, though.

Either way, I can't wait. I expect surprises.

some wwdits finale thoughts--

i found that okay but wasn't nuts about it. i feel like i would've liked to see it strike a more tender emotional note with most of the characters. (i get the "they never change~!" argument, but i feel like it's somewhat at odds with the show itself, and there have just been so many good earnestly touching moments throughout the years that i definitely wanted more of those here at the end!) wanted more laszlo and nadja and maybe a fond little farewell to their iconic marriage. it kind of shocked me that laszlo, nadja, and colin were left so in the background while guillermo and nandor got so much of the ending. (though i can't complain because i love them dearly and i do think of them as the two main characters of the series, and the characters who changed the most, even if they can't tell they did.)

i did enjoy the ambiguous nandermo of it all (although i wish they would've hugged 😢 they both needed a hug and i needed them to hug, okay), and i especially liked that guillermo "decided to leave" to give the documentary some closure but then immediately came back to be like, "jk, HEY BESTIE!" because guess what! guillermo's life doesn't always have to be sacrifice! guillermo can have what he wants! he can embark upon a new life out in the world AND stay in his weird thing with nandor and his vampire besties! and, i guess, fight crime and do things in the shadows with nandor in their underground lair!

also cute that nandor and guillermo ended up in bed (well, in coffin) together at the end of the episode, just like nadja hypnotized us into imagining as the most perfect ending we could possibly imagine with our simple little human minds! (that's the one us hulu viewers got, anyway!) i did definitely earnestly believe for a second there that they were gonna make out in the coffin instead of what actually happened. le sigh!

random thoughts:

was nadja dolly in this episode (aside from the rosemary's baby hypnosis) and i just forgot from finale brain scramblies? i felt like i was missing her.

feeling like they could've done more with the monster and, idk, tied that to the theme of this season a little more somehow (whatever the theme of this season was). i just feel like something got left hanging there. maybe something to do with laszlo and colin and parenthood and daddy issues.

nandor's continued crush on the guide why?? you know what, i won't stress over it. i'll just cling to the fact that he committed so hard to his life with guillermo that he somehow made the underground lair happen.

wish they'd called back to guillermo's vampire slayer powers more somehow. i just feel like we needed way more of that!

i wish we could've seen seanie and charmaine and the baron and the sire again :'( like maybe they could've thrown a viewing party of the documentary at the end!

also: omg, i want more about the documentary (or documentaries)! who are these maniacs out here making multi-year documentaries about vampires and what role are those documentaries supposed to play in society?? they should've given us at least a little bit more about that! come on!

i think we need a movie to wrap up these loose ends and finally provide a nandermo embrace. a movie and six seasons and a movie, if you will.

p.s. JACKIE DAYTONA! i am also pretty tickled by the thought that the events of "local news", perhaps the most chaotic and deranged episode, happened twice.

p.p.s. NANDERMO BAD GUY FIGHTING SPINOFF PLS!

p.p.p.s. headcanon: nandor and guillermo both watch the finale episode someday and envision the sitcom-marrieds dream sequence as their perfect hypnotized ending. are forced to confront their feelings at last.

Because somebody made a possibly targetted post misconstruing something I said in a reply and bc feeling dumb is my worst fear...

here is why some people may think that the wwdits finale was mocking shippers even if it wasn't.

(This isn't me saying it's 100% true or that I believe it was done with malicious intent, I do think it is most likely a coincidence! It's just an explanation as to why some people may have had their guard up. Especially because everyone in the replies to that post saying the ppl who felt insulted were just fucking dumb and never watched the show felt mean when 1) you don't know them, 2) shows like this have conditioned us to expect it by now so it feels like a betrayal that this one is the same. As a wise man once said (in much better words), the writers presented us with a thing and different people will merge it with their own experiences and opinions differently so you can't perfectly predict the reaction you want to receive. That doesn't mean they're dumb or sensitive or weren't paying attention, they just interpreted the facts provided differently)

There are two points that were mentioned in the mentioned post that can be either entirely innocent or echo past malicious intent towards an audience depending on the person watching:

Point 1: Nadja's language towards the audience

The first thing people say when they read this is that the people who think it was an attack on the fans clearly have never paid attention to her which just isn't true. It's actually impossible to watch the show and not notice her disdain for humans and our feeble minds unless you're actively skipping every scene with her in it! Most people saying that the direct address felt like an insult adore her, at least I do. People know that she's Just Like That™️ and most people probably laughed along with it because it is so authentically her to say that after spending the whole season trying to understand human psychology (she tried her best y'all 😭). Nobody is disputing that and nobody is saying it's mean of her to say that. She laughs at humans all the time, it's not our girl Nadja that people are wary of! It's the possibility that she was being used as a mouthpiece at that moment for the writers.

The trend of doing this isn't new. Often writers will pick a character who is Just Like That™️ as a way to give their opinion on the audience without having to stand up and say it on a stage. It's in character so they can get away with it more easily. This may not have been what they were doing but it does echo past examples so it makes sense if people connected those dots in their minds. Here are two pretty well known examples of it:

If you are unfamiliar with Sherlock and in9 (which are both shows I love despite this) I'll clarify: in the first one, the likeable, no-nonsense detective is used by the writers by remaining in-character while voicing their opinions on their audience theorising and making shit up for fics, which they later doubled down on in interviews and shit. The fan-club making silly pathetic gay theories is meant to be laughed at because it's ridiculous and they obviously don't get it the way the writes do. The second one is about a show-runner/script writer who just wants to mind his business, he is talking to a stupid crazy fan who clearly doesn't understand the text and intention and he dies and that makes him nerdy and pathetic. Simon liking the fanfic his friend wrote is stupid and framed as an insult to his intelligence, he's a loser for wanting to engage with the series beyond just watching it. The fan later turns out to be a creepy stalker who predates on the writer btw...so...there's that.

Ofc not saying this is what wwdits were definitely doing, but it's a technique that's been utilised by shows before, especially those in which the writers and directors have said similar things in interviews to Simms, so it's not surprising that people read it this way, it actually makes perfect sense. You can't hate them for being wary, even if you think they're taking it too far!

Point 2: the timing of one of the laugh tracks in the Newhart ending

This point is less stable because it is just a replica of Newhart but I also see it used to make hurt people seem pathetic and dumb which isn't fair at all. People know that laugh tracks exist, they know they're used in sitcoms, they likely know or can infer that it was used gratuitously in Newhart, even if they've never seen it or any previous parodies of the ending. The existence of the laugh track isn't the bit people are upset about, I think it's the implication that Guillermo being there is hilarious. Which, yes, is the exact timing of the laughter from the original, that's OBVIOUSLY what they were going for, but contextually it can feel a little different if you're somebody who has clung to the disappointed 'do you really want to see that?' we've heard before. The intention may be honest but people are always going to read it negatively given the context of wwdits and the crew's previous views.

Maybe they're reading 'too deep' into it in your opinion but maybe they shouldn't be called useless and stupid because of that. Instead of laughing at these people for feeling hurt by the thought that they're the ones being laughed at, maybe either leave them alone or try to NICELY say that you think they were just trying to be loyal to the original.

The bottom line is: don't be mean or dismissive to people who get hurt by the implications they take from the text! Be polite and inform them or just let them feel the way they feel. ❤️❤️ this was edited so if the reblogs look different that's why!

Spoilers for wwdits s6 I guess?

Fuckkkk I haven't seen it because I was so scared they wouldn't become Canon so....? I guess it's not Canon? I haven't even dared finish the season yet and you're telling me that yet again.... Yet again we don't win, we can't win. We're so close yet so far. Like I can't fucking believe that after the superwholock era of media, we finally had the chance to have the holy trinity instead of Good Omens, WWDITS, and Our Flag Means Death, yet good omens was fucked up by n*il gaiman, ofmd was fucked up by greed, homophobia, racism, and a few poor writing decisions, and now THIS?! My heart hurts, wtf. I saw people act so hopeful about nandermo and I became skeptical again. Ouch. Fucking ouch. I genuinely can't get invested into any show or franchise, especially if it's queer, because of this shit.

Spoilers for venom 3 too, but apparently they don't follow through as much as they could've. The second movie had a whole ass coming out scene in a gay bar and a love concession that was half cut out, but then the third movie backtracked... Ouch ouch ouch.

Oh and Pinky and the Brain in the reboot of animaniacs, ruined by greed and canceling good shows for no reason, and ruined possibly by some sort of overlord who doesn't want the rats to kiss.

To be clear this WWDITS thing isn't queerbait, they're obviously queer and it's important as rep and as a story, but it hurts in a similar way, yet it's also like salt in the wound, like there was a CHANCE a damn good chance, but... Nah. Just nah.

On that note go watch camp cretaceous on Netflix, queer couple and autistic coded characters it's a fun ride, and it has a sequel, not queerbait though it is a gamble as to which gays become Canon and which are just heavily... Heavily accidental subtext. Oh and the Owl House. Ofc.

What We Do in the Shadows Finale Thoughts

Some people found the ending unsatisfying, but that was the whole point.

WARNING: Spoilers ahead.

I've been seeing some takes that express disappointment in the finale of WWDITS. Honestly, it ended exactly how I imagined it would. One day, the documentary crew just leaves and we are left with the impression that they're just going to keep on in the exact same pattern they've always been stuck in. And that's exactly what happened.

The point is they are stagnant. They don't grow, change, or move forward in any significant way. That is the tragedy of these characters. Eternal life at a standstill. Growth is for the living.

Anyone expecting them to make significant change didn't really get the central tragic irony at the heart of the show. They even made pointed jokes about how no ending they could have would satisfy everyone - mainly because it would not be true to these characters to have them grow in any significant way.

Guillermo also proves he's one of them, vampire or no, because he ultimately ends up sticking around despite being confronted with the reality of a stagnant existence. He can't break away from them, and they are incapable of real change. They are the people who he loves dearly, but they are an anchor around his neck that he can't remove no matter how hard he tries. Getting stuck at Canon Capital with a new asshole master just proved that Guillermo is as stuck in his pattern as the rest of them.

I see people who legitimately expected Guillermo and Nandor to get together as a couple. The show knew people wanted it as well, which is why there was the Newhart style false ending. It poked fun at the idea of them living in some kind of domestic bliss because honestly, that is not who they are and not who they are to each other.

With Nandermo, I do think people are projecting the inherent homoeroticism of a familiar/master relationship with a real core of romance between them. Personally, I have never understood why people were convinced their ship would be canon. I am an old school fandom type. I love shipping. I totally get why people would take it that way in fic. But canon? I honestly never believed the show was building toward romance.

So I think that shoehorning a romance arc into the last season would've been weird. I can understand why people would disagree with me on this but I don't think they ever promised romance between them in any significant way.

Besides, Nandor took what, 15 years to see Guillermo as an equal friend? Vampires learn and grow incredibly slowly. It'd probably take longer than Guillermo's lifetime for it to ever even occur to Nandor that Guillermo could be a romantic partner.

And frankly, I don't think Guillermo is secretly in love with Nandor. Devoted to an unhealthy, co-dependent degree? Absolutely. In romantic love? No, I don't believe so.

In the end, What We Do in the Shadows is like Seinfeld. They're all pretty bad people who are mired in their own shit and struggle to make even the most incremental of changes.

And that's why we love them.

some feelings about wwdits under a cut, for negativity

WWDITS... I don't know. I don't think I've found the writing entirely fulfilling for a while now. s4 had its problems, but s5 was... let's just say not nearly as funny or cohesive as I would've liked, and the characterization has been... wandering, to put it kindly. Seeing it end now feels a little less like losing my favorite show and a little more like stopping it before things really start to spiral.

I remember someone asked me once post-s3 what (if anything) would make me stop watching the show, and I said Guillermo leaving for good or the characters becoming less supernatural. (i.e. Nandor becoming human for good or something.) I really hate shows where the characters become "normal" as a happy ending, so that's really my nightmare scenario. I'm not exaggerating when I say I think I'd literally rather the characters die than lose the spark that makes them interesting.

Honestly, I feel like that's probably a lot of what's made it hard for me to move forward with writing fic for wwdits after the s5 finale. It felt not only OOC for Guillermo but just... such a boring direction to take it. I feel like there were so many ways they could have made non-vampire Guillermo interesting and IC and they just. did not do that. Instead they ignored a lot of previous canon in order to cancel out an entire season while also trying to make us believe that Guillermo choosing humanity is a happy and fulfilling ending for anyone.

And when you look at characters like Laszlo... like they keep giving him plot lines that go absolutely nowhere. The poignancy of his adventures in fatherhood and his depression over losing his child were basically nowhere to be seen in s5. (I kept expecting them to tie it back to his loss over Baby Colin, like he was making Guillermo his new project because he wasn't coping well with losing his son, but they never really went there.) And then they have him doing all of these experiments in s5 that don't really amount to anything other than making it canon that he can't even remember what happened in s1.

(Or... the writers can't, at least...)

I don't know. When none of the plot lines they write are given weight, it's hard for me to give them weight. If none of the characters' choices matter because they'll just be reset anyway, why do I care about their choices? If entire plot lines are just going to go absolutely nowhere (when they're given endings at all) why should I get invested in them?

They set up a lot of interesting themes about found family, the supernatural world as a haven for those who are queer or otherwise socially othered, etc. and then had Guillermo outright choose the human world and his human family over the found family they'd been setting up for five seasons. Having Guillermo be okay with killing vampires but not humans (which... again, makes no sense with his behavior towards humans in the past, but I digress) basically explicitly tells us that he sees vampire life as lesser than human life and like ????? then how are we supposed to interpret the relationships and themes you've spent all this time building???

When you have Guillermo coming out as being gay and also wanting to be a vampire in the same breath and then have him reject that world, when you give these interviews talking about how making Guillermo and Nandor have [gay] sex would lessen their relationship... I don't know! It almost feels like they can't even keep track of their own themes and really do not care if they shit on the audience that's loyally followed them even through some really questionable writing decisions!

I guess at this point, I only worry that they really do see becoming human and leaving the supernatural world as being a happy ending for all these characters. Are they going to make the other vampires human, too? Are they going to have Guillermo leave for good and choose the human world?

Like it's literally my nightmare scenario. lmao.

I guess I just feel like I've been cutting wwdits a lot of slack because I assumed that the writers were going somewhere really interesting with these seemingly incomprehensible choices, but now that I've realized that they're really just... not great writing choices...

It'll be easier to let go, I guess. I don't have nearly the same emotional connection to this show that I did even six months ago, much less a year and a half ago. If you told me even a year ago that my reaction to my favorite show's cancellation would be "...oh..." I wouldn't have believed you. But. I guess here we are.

I keep trying to make myself feel the same love for this show that I did during the first three, three and a half seasons, and I'm just not sure I can do it. I've been going around in circles over this for months now, but I just feel kind of hollow when I reach for the joy that this show used to inspire in me. And now that I know it's ending soon, I guess my mind is just kind of going "well, I guess it'll all be over with soon, one way or another, and I'll finally be able to choose a way to feel about it all."

I think... honestly, I think the only way I can be happy writing fic going forward is if I write fic that actively ignores a lot of the canon developments. It's literally too fucking difficult to eke out coherent characterization from what they've been putting out lately, and maybe it would feel more fun and less like homework if I just stopped trying.

I really, really hope that the last season of this show is beautiful and gorgeous and funny and makes me remember exactly what I love about it just in time to mourn it forever. I hope that I will happily be able to write fics incorporating every ounce of canon and feel fulfilled by that. But... honestly speaking, at this point I'm just hoping that the last season doesn't actively piss me off. lmao

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[weepingchronicles]

Could i request headcanons for a platonic/parental yandere laszlo (wwdits) with a human teen familiar reader?

platonic yandere laszlo with familiar reader headcanons!

thank you so much for requesting! laszlo is one of my favs especially in the newer seasons

tw/cw: yandere themes, implied murder, manipulation, lmk if i missed something!

when laszlo first got you as his familiar he didn't expect much, he assumed you'd be like everyone else, desperate to become a vampire

his obsession starts small, he never realized how young you actually are until one day...

laszlo calls you several times before finally searching for you, he starts to lecture you for ignoring him- until he sees you crying

a pang hits his undead heart and he insists you tell him what is wrong

you explain to him that your parents are threatening to kick you out or send you somewhere else because of your lacking grades and how you've been out all the time doing god knows what.

laszlo knows it is his fault and for once he feels guilty for his actions. here he has you working almost 24/7 and you haven't been taking care of your future because you believe theres a chance for you to become a vampire.

from then on laszlo makes sure to pamper you a bit more, he lets you take time off from being a familiar and if nadja or nandor yell at you for someone he makes sure to step in to defend you.

nadja complains that he is becoming too soft for a human but she just doesn't see how vulnerable and young you are. laszlo always agrees with nadja except when it comes to you.

with more free time you start studying and getting your grades up in high school, your parents still reprimand you for staying out all night but you ignore them.

even though laszlo is the one who let you have more time to yourself he cant help but miss your presence, he never realized how much he liked you.

he invites you over to study more even though he is so bad at any modern day education. the only thing he really aids in is english and history but you can't really put him as a reputable source.

laszlo eventually gets sick of you being away for too long and kind of acts out as a way to bring you back more often

he kills more and leaves the bodies everywhere, purposefully breaks things without saying anything(just forget guillermo in this)

your grades drop once again because of your increasing duties, even getting detention a couple times for always being late.

your parents threaten to kick you out again and they finally do. you run to laszlo crying about the whole situation.

laszlo acts completely oblivious as he consoles you, saying they were never real parents to you anyway, your home is here with him.

you move in with laszlo, creating a little cozy bedroom for yourself in the basement.

you end up dropping out of school, tending to only your familiar duties and besides who needs education when you're gonna be a vampire?

oh, and you don't have to worry about your parents trying to find you, laszlo payed them a little visit and their entire house was burnt to the ground the next day, the cops never found an actual reason how.

laszlo feels a little guilty especially since he never plans on turning you, but he uses it whenever you get too fed up with his antics.

if you do actually try to leave? ..who is to say what he might do to keep you?  🤷 

[missholloween]

I will need like a solid week to articulate my feelings towards season 6 of wwdits. But I'm not even angry, I'm just dissapointed. Vague spoilers under the cut

It feels so disrespectful to people who have been watching and loving this show for years (4 in my case, but I know some people were here since the beginning), but also to the team itself. Did you not care about your show? Did you think your characters were pointless? Your plots were just mindless entertainment for stupid people?

Season 4's "nothint changes" reveal at the final episode didn't feel great, but at least I could at least understand some of the choices of the season, and it did tied up well to Colin's plotline. But season 5 led it behind! There were new plotlines, stakes were high by Guillermo's transformation, Nandor and Guillermo's relationship would never be the same! And the worst part is that with the first episodes of s6 I thought we would go somewhere, that they would adress their new relationship status... And they did, halfway there, as most plotlines after s3 have been.

And this is not only because of Nandermo. The Guide was barely a character this season after the s5 finale, and they made her a Trump supporter!!!! In two of the ten lines she has this season!!!! Nadja has been doing nothing, just pointless tasks because they couldn't think of a plot for her when NADJA DOLL IS RIGHT THERE. Colin has had a weird fixation on family this season, and it's POINTLESS because they don't do anything with the raising baby Colin plotline except some weak callbacks.

Even if it's not only about them, i'm furious about nandermo too. The site I watch the episodes in had the "nandermo" human ending and it made my blood boil. Why would you do the audience feel stupid for thinking that two of the leads, which you wrote as any other sitcom couple (Rachel and Ross. Jake and Amy. Jim and Pam), for thinking that they were more than platonic besties? The interviews are being really nasty too, I can't believe Harvey (haven't read Kayvan's, I don't have the stomach for that rn), who has been a vocal supporter of nandermo, has turned to that 'deep bond between two bros that shouldn't read as (ew) romantic' bulshit. Why do you think fans only want freaky nasty nandermo sex when they say they should be together? And also, what if they do? This is (or was) the freaky nasty vampire sex show. Guess they have forgotten that too.

I don't know, I guess I now know what Sherlock fans felt like when The Empty Hearse aired. I thought we had got over queerbaiting, but we're back! And it's way worse now, as they do lean in the queer <3

Whatever.

[lornescaritas]

ep 9 of ofmd HELLO!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!&&÷&÷**@*#*@

[deciduous]

ngl, that ep of wwdits was not good

[seraph5]

*mentions of wwdits unverified S4 leaks ahead*

I wrote an outline for a fic about how I think season 4 will end. Pls enjoy:

The whole fic is Guillermo agonizing over the new woman in Nandor's life and trying to accept her and trying to accept that they're going to be together. Then they announce that they are going to get married and Guillermo decides that he doesn't want to be a vampire/stay at the house anymore. But when he goes to tell Nandor, Nandor is like I'm so happy and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and therefore as a thank you on the night I'm going to get married I'll turn you into a vampire because afterwards I'll have my lovely wife to do all these things for me.

Guillermo says thank you and bites his tongue and tries to be happy about it finally happening. When he looks at himself in the mirror he tries to see himself the way he saw himself when he started but being a vampire is not at all what he thought. On the night of the wedding he gets Nandor ready feeling sick to his stomach, trying to convince himself that it's just nerves. He opens his mouth to say something to Nandor and then his bride to be sweeps in. And he sees them together and in an instant knows how his eternity will play out. Nandor will get married. He and his wife will live with Nadja and Laszlo and they will all be deliriously happy with each other and he and Collin Robinson will stand on the outside looking in. Except what will nourish Collin will empty Guillermo till there is nothing left of him.

Nandor leans in to bite him and Guillermo feels like he's going to be sick with the desperate desire to have Nandor claim him in the way he's been dreaming of long before he even loved him.

Almost reactively Guillermo shouts no, shoves Nandor away and storms out. Nandor is like "Guillermo!?" In his standard winey voice and follows after him leaving his bride to be "where are you going? Guillermo!!" And Guillermo is storming out of the house and Nandor shouts from the top step this time he more serious tone "Guillermo! Where are you going? The wedding is about to start" "I can't do it! I can't have you turn me and then go to your wedding and spend an eternal life with all of you -"

"Why?"

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU" Guillermo snarls angry heartbroken tears breaking free

"Well that is not new many familiars have loved-" Nandor begins but Guillermo cuts him off taking one step back toward him.

"I-am-in-love…with you" Guillermo says slowly and deliberately delivering every word like his wishes it was a punch "though GOD" Nandor hisses in discomfort "knows why. You're so selfish and arrogant and don't care about me at all"

"That's not true" Nandor's voice hangs onto his pouty affect and Guillermo grimaces before turning away.

"I can't believe I wasted 13 years of my life on you"

"Your mini Fridge-"

"Keep it!" Guillermo is already down the street.

***

Anyway there's my best guess about the end of season XD I won't be writing the thing I'm still writing the star trek fic I foolishly teased.

[mithrilhearts]

Hey, can I just leave a quick rant here? You can totally ignore it if you like it's fine, I just need someone who watched wwdits and I know no one irl. 😥

So anyways, Guillermo and Nandor... there's something more, right? No one can deny where their relationship is heading since season 1!

I think season 2 did a really great job of showing us more about what they're meaning and feeling for each other. I mean, just the episode in which Guillermo went to Celeste... it was perfection!

But then season 3 happens and I'm just so frustrated. I love the show and I love Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi and I don't want to accuse them of anything but boy... They're doing the thing that every show does as soon as there's some gay tension: Throwing one of the men at women like there's no tomorrow.

First Meg, then Gail and then the Jan. Two season NOTHING (I don't count the Orgy that didn't happen anyway) and then three women in one season.

Idk, maybe I'm just too much team Nandermo or I've been through too much BS in other shows, but I'm so frustrated. 😔

Hey Anon!! Always feel free to drop a rant on me anytime!

These two have been on a wild ride, haven't they? I totally understand where you are coming from in all of this, I myself had some frustration and skepticism going through season three specifically, but I think they're trying to set it up for something more.

Based on interviews I've read about what Season 4 is supposed to be about, and how they wrapped up Season 3, I firmly believe Nandermo will one day become canon. You're absolutely right, there IS more. S4 is supposed to be where Nandor finds love, and just look at that huge step he and Guillermo took in the season finale there.

Now, I can't guarantee it because I am very deep on team Nandermo and may be biased, but I think they're trying to set it up like this purposely. All of these women that Nandor's had eyes on never worked out - but he has someone who's always been there for the past what...11 years? With them being separated and Nandor truly being on his own, I think he'll come to realize just how much Guillermo means to him, how he -misses- him. (Or maybe I'm just hoping that's what it is!)

Fingers crossed we'll find out sooner rather than later. Season 4 just wrapped up filming, so maybe we'll find out come this spring!!

PLUS. Harvey is a huge Nandermo supporter, so that has to mean something!!

I know this probably doesn't ease your frustration or any doubts you may have, but we're all right there with you, Anon. Eagerly waiting to see what happens next.
