#nandor cosplay

[foedhrass]

While the previous photos of my newest Tolkien cosplay (Ndani-tharo/Denethor of the Nandor) showcase the colors of the costume, this edit is closer to how it probably would have looked, since Ndanitharo lived and died before the Sun and the Moon first rose. I imagine the elves would have been able to see better than we do in a moonless night, so I didn’t edit everything just grey or excessively dark. ;)

Recently got to play Guillermo in a wwdits/vampire party LARP, it was incredibly fun and I love the photos.

(On the third one I try to persuade Petyr not to eat the Wellington paranormal cops and them that nothing unusual is going on. Was incredibly in character for the levels of stress)

We had vampires from different media so by the end I got turned into a vampire by… Lestat 😅 Yeah. I tried to resist but he was very tempting and Nandor gave me the very canonic “I care about you but I’ll hypnotize you to make you forget it and I won’t turn you” spiel (that’s why the Complicated faces on the last one), and considering it was post 1 season-ish timeline… yeah, Guillermo wouldn’t have resisted either xD (And yes it was exactly as hot as you can imagine but I won’t admit to anything xD)

I regret we didn’t make a wwdits ensemble photo, everyone was incredible.

Cosplay help

I'm looking to get back into cosplaying after many years of not doing it. I was just hoping for some help finding sites to get stuff, or finding good tutorials to make stuff etc I'm currently wanting to cosplay as Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet from OFMD And Nandor and Laszlo from WWDITS Theres others too but this atm is what I would like to do, and I need to have at least one ready for August for a convention local to me so any help would be greatly appreciated <3

Some photos for my shoot, which coincidentally fell right after the premier of S5. Guillermo's dream was to become a vampire, and after 14yrs of waiting he allowed his pride to lead him to his downfall. Will Nandor confront him about it tonight?

Just realised I never posted these here!! Me and my buddies attempted to recreate some wwdits posters (plus a bonus Nadja + Laszlo shot) in cosplay! I think we did pretty good :D (I'm the Nadja 😉)

man I think about my ex-best friend from time to time-- he was horrible to me at the end of it all but yanno, I do get sad about the loss. But recently I'm just like, damn it, the friend divorce meant the perfect cosplay trio of him, me, and Kait as Lasz/Nandor/Nadja respectively is now a dream that will never come to fruition 💀

My unexpected new cosplay, definitely the most obscure elf I've cosplayed so far: Ndanitharo/Denethor, lord of the Nandor that dwelt in Ossiriand. I prefer the Primitive Elvish version of his name (Ndani-tharo) over the Sindarin name since the Nandor were a different group of elves (all belonging to the Teleri). Also of course to avoid confusion regarding the well known Denethor from the 3rd Age.

Ndanitharo doesn’t have a big role in the Silmarillion, but since I play a Nando OC in our Gondolin & Dragons DnD, I had a bit of headcanon backstory involving him.

Nadja’s urgent care outfit lives in my mind rent free like the costuming department popped off

I will never get over the outfits in wwdits

they bring me so much joy

[bloodxbat]

I actually got to meet Nandor and Guillermo as MCM just there! I got them to sign a poster for my partner! They were so lovely.

I love the look of the clothes, that would be an amazing cosplay! Too cute being a couples cosplay!

I do not have the confidence to cosplay unfortunately. Goodness I'm too shy to come out of anon. The thought of people taking pictures gives me the absolute fear! 😨

I also don't have the creative skills or patience to make a cosplay haha.

OMG I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY JEALOUS LMAOO

Thought it would be an easy choice for me because its not totally out there for the clothes i normally wear!

Aww lovely! i wont bite if you do decide to come out of anon haha appreciate you messaging either way! <3

I get that fear, it is a very weird feeling totally understand why chosing not to cosplay would be the good option for you, but if you do want to cosplay i hope you suceed in your self confidence to do so!!

Phahaha yeah nah i wouldnt fully make a cosplay either fuck that i’d just buy stuff. Huge respect to those that actually make their cosplays, i can’t even sew hahaha

My 2 Cents on the WWDITS Finale - 9/10

I LOVE WWDITS, but ngl I didn't care much for Season 6. I barely laughed, and found most of the eps depressing. I was hoping for more overarching plot threads, and felt disappointed & my expectations were too high. I loved S5, but I think the "plot" ended there, and S6 felt all over the place--which I guess was the point. As such, I LOVED the finale, cuz of this right here:

Jerry's introduction and the 1950s footage cemented that these silly vampires are perfectly fine doing the same thing they've always done for all eternity.

On the one hand, they are stuck in their ways, from their outdated clothes to their accents to their hobbies--even Colin Robinson, the most modern one of them all, is trapped in a perpetual 100-yr loop and never remembers anything that happened in his past lives (unless he checks the archives he's hermetically sealed in his basement vault).

However, the bit about them having learned nothing at all was a red herring. Cuz ALL of these vamps actually HAVE grown & learned a great deal.

Laszlin's Monster--a creature with real emotions & a heart/soul, who is WELCOME in their family--is right there watching footage of Laszlo's previous failed attempts to create life from death. Laszlo AND Nadja are visibly cringing at how disastrous Laszlo's experiments used to be. But S4-S6 gave us the beautiful Laszlo-Colin partnership. Laszlin's Monster says "I LOVE BOTH MY FATHERS, NOW KISS."

Laszlo had been doing everything by himself and failed--it was only once he got off his high horse and finally accepted help from Colin (the person he'd once looked down, then had to RAISE as his father in S4) that he finally achieved a scientific miracle. Laszlo & Colin have been my fave characters this entire series, and it paid off BIG TIME.

Nadja's arc was more of her coming full circle as the only sensible vampire in the room, with very simple yet perfectly effective solutions for all the knots they (AND we the viewers) tangle ourselves in:

She does the exact same quick problem-solving in the pilot--which the finale's end credits even show the vamps watching old footage of--when Nandor's blabbing about hygiene, and Nadja's bored out of her skull (cuz she knows they can just label their corpses with Sharpies):

And ofc the "perfect" solution leads to the elephant in the room: Nandermo.

IMO Guillermo was most interesting as a vampire slayer. His character arc bored/irritated me the most whenever he DID get overly ambitious--trying to lead the Vampiric Council through manipulating Nandor in S3; and working at Canon Capital in S6. I was happy to see him & his cousin team up to save the vamps in 6x9, cuz that's literally what Memo's best at, cuz he IS a killer--of vamps. I actually WANTED a whole season with Nandermo cosplaying as Batman & Robin--it's so effing adorable!

Memo THINKS he wants bigger & better things, and maybe he would've thrived as a full time analyst at Canon Capital--but is that what he REALLY wanted? Ofc not! He's gleeful like a little kid at Xmas when Nandor lets him finally sit in his coffin.

Cuz even though Memo's matured & grown enough to realize that BEING a vampire literally sucks, he still loves the ALLURE of vampires. He's THRILLED to finally be allowed to sit with Nandor in his coffin, and is IMPRESSED/AMAZED that there really is an underground lair. He's STILL that kid from the pilot in love with being Antonio Banderas' Armand from Interview with the Vampire!

Nandor has always been the Marius to Guillermo's Armand. The promise of adventure & excitement is still there in the end. The finale's a whole NEW beginning for Nandermo, and Memo's happy as a clam to follow Nandor's lead on a new series of hijinks in the secret lair. Like he tells Nandor: "You'll ALWAYS be 'Master' to me."

IMO, the one who's MOST stuck on his ways & never changing is Memo. Season after season he leaves & comes back; even in the finale he fakes like he'll never see Nandor again just to give the film crew good "closure" footage. So I reckon he's gonna grow old in that house, cuz he can't ever bring himself to leave for long--he needs them as much as they need him, codependency at its finest. Memo'll probably end up just like Benjy, Nandor's elderly S2 Familiar that Nandor made a vamp in his old decrepit age.

(WWDITS thinks they're SO SLICK with the Benjy-Benji reference!)

It won't be cuz Memo wants to be a vamp, but cuz he's old AF and afraid of dying & leaving the vamps behind to go on without him. Nothing from this season/finale gives me confidence that Memo will actually move on, but I don't think that has to be a bad thing, if moving on is NOT what will make Memo AND Nandor happiest--which is obvs from how sad Nandor was at the prospect of them NOT working together as Batman & Robin.

Nandermo love & need each other, the finale confirmed it, and I'm satisfied.

I had a dream that the documentary aired in universe and people tought that it was a series so they're like us being unhealthily attached to the characters but like in universe so they're real

And then Nandor and Guillermo were walking together bickering because they were going to the night market but Nandor got the wrong train and now they're kinda lost and they start to see people dressing like Nandor and they're like uhhhhh and then they find a geek restaurant doing Nandermo Night and there's lots of people cosplaying like them and they're surrounded by people like oh my god your cosplqy is so high quality did you sew it yourself????? And they're trapped there having to pretend they're fans and there's people saying like oh my god Nandor is so babygirl he's so pathetic and Nandor is like hey! I'm not a baby or a girl or pathetic!!!! And Guillermo is like haha don't mind him he's just larping haha he larps so hard and people are like it's okay here is a safe space
