I can't believe we're being served a found family relationship moment- Nadja going feral to save THEIR FAMILIAR and literally keeping his secret, Guillermo's weak ass high af power finally working at its peak to save and help Nadja, Nandor dragging Collin Robinson who continuously being weaker and weaker the more interesting he becomes, and practically risking his life to transfer energy to Collin Robinson, and Collin Robinson essentially reviving Nandor, Lazlo just using science to try and help everyone. Like they would clearly just risk everything and do what they have to do FOR EACH OTHER.

imo the season finale for wwdits is a bit underwhelming. but what i gotta hand it to them, is how we see nandor as a character. we always treat him like how the other characters treat him, an oblivious idiot (i mean, it's true lol but hear me out) who lost his touch as time went on. and in the episode finale, we completely got bamboozled and made us realize how we've underestimated him. like damn, he knows how guillermo's gonna react once he became a full blooded vampire. the fact that he was the only one who figured out about the van helsing DNA and drinking actual human blood is just WOW yknow? he still sucks at the love department tho.... unless?

But can we talk about how powerful nandor is? like yeah, he might be a bit silly, and not in touch with the modern world, but if he wanted to, he could have already conquered whatever the fuck he wanted to. (he built an army, and jerry is still looking at maps over there).
like let's just start by pointing out that nandor didn't need to be a vampire to accomplish all these great things that he wanted in life. vampirism only made him more dangerous. nandor has always had too much power in his hands, that he tends to misuse, but that's actually a good thing for the people around him because if not, the truth is that they would be fucked.
He was born in a position of privilege, one that put him later on in his life in positions of power, he was a leader who did fucked up shit. As a vampire, he can hypnotize thousands, but even if he couldn't, nandor knows how to attract people to him when he puts his mind to it, as we were able to see, but guess what? he also has doing everyone around him doing whatever shit he wants, because rarely people can say no to him. What nandor wants, nandor gets (even the stupidest of things).
Now. Don't get me started with his pyrokinesis. The dude can create and manipulate fire. Like come on, you know all the batshit crazy things that he could be doing with that? people should be thankful that he's not going around acting in unhinged ways.
He's a formidable warrior, the fact that he live as long as he did as a human, through battles and wars, and the guy didn't get killed? i don't know, but I think that says a lot about his kills. he also can use a large variety of weapons, so now imagine. This guy who's the greatest warrior of his time, gets the strength and the speed that comes with vampirism. he becomes a fucking killing machine (not like he wasn't one already), but now he's unstoppable and on top of that, immortal!
As i said in the beginning of this post, time and time again nandor has been given power, too much power I should say. he even got those 52 wishes and the things my guy here could have accomplished with them? ridiculous! but he was feeling silly, so... he decided to have fun instead. Good for him.
Now, we now he conquered places and won wars, and while his years as a ruler were bloody, it seems like he did a lot of Al Quolanudar when it comes to territory. What I'm trying to say is that he's a good strategist, he's good, no he's the best at what he does. he excels in what he was trained and taught to do (and even the vampire community acknowledges this).
People always like to underestimate him (the fandom included. it's true.), say that in a battle he stands no chance. That X, Y, and Z are more could easily demolish him, that he can't do shit for himself, but like excuse me, he's the oldest vampire in that house, look at all the shit that he can do, so no. He's the strongest and most powerful piece in that chessboard, mam. Nandor could go on a killing spree and no one could stop him.
This latest season really brought forward this qualities of his that had always been there. Nandor can be competent, he can be assertive, he really just chooses not to, but if he did! well, we saw what can happen when he is.
nandor is powerful, skillful, and dangerous in more than one way, and yes! smart when he needs to be.
And i make this post, because some people have made him into this character that's just an idiot with 0 qualities, and those qualities that he does have, are always being diminished to make other characters look better (yes. to make guillermo look better. i said it, which is highly unnecessary because he can shine on his own).
It's not that he can't do shit, the fact is that he doesn't want to.
#wwdits#i'm sure there is more i wanted to say#but you get the point#yes i simp for this idiot#this post has been cooking in my head for years

I love that WWDITS will throw out these random, wild things that clearly are extremely relevant to the plot and all the characters will just kind of ignore them because they're busy with some other dumb shit.
Like Nandor's whole "my home village is exactly the same as it was 750 years ago except that everyone there is a vampire". Like. WHAT?? There's clearly a huge story there but Nandor doesn't elaborate at all because he's too busy sulking about not feeling special enough when around other vampires.
And, possibly most notably: Colin Robinson saying that his mom was boring and "still is". Implying his mother is STILL ALIVE and over 150+ years old. And, for Colin Robinson to think someone is so painfully boring he can barely remember them bears noting by itself. But no one follows up on that statement because Lazlo is too busy trying to keep Colin from realizing he's going to die soon and no one else pays any attention to what Colin says.
What a group of perfect idiots. I adore them.

Just some Nandor & Nandermo moments that make me extra unhinged nbd.
Like. Does everyone but Guillermo know that Nandor is utterly gone on him??? How does anyone NOT know, when he looks at him like that all the damn time? Note, this is not all the examples I could find. This is just all the ones I could fit in one post.
(EDIT: @flashbcaks informed me the 7th image is not a screencap but an edit of theirs, so go check it out on their blog HERE. It's a testament, surely, to how cuddly these idiots are that it didn't even OCCUR to me this wasn't 100% a thing that happened. But the rest still stands and that scene still DOES make me unhinged. 🤣)

Nandor is remarkably intelligent sometimes and no one talks about it because he’s usually a bumbling fool.
He’s incredibly hygienic and obsessed with cleanliness, traits that would have helped him and his soldiers live longer in a time without modern medicine, doctors, and running water.
He follows certain rules religiously, like the werewolf agreement, chain email instructions, warriors code, ect. As a means of saving peoples lives or preventing harm.
Picking the squeaky bone in a werewolf duel instead of a traditional weapon.
The first thing he did after the Sire escaped was host a press conference. He clearly understands that media control is crucial to maintaining power and leadership as well as preventing mass panic.
Out of all the conflicts to happen wether physical or mental, Nandor is almost always the one to suggest diplomacy rather than violence. It’s Nadja, Laszlo, and even Guillermo who pick the fights even though Nandor is the one who was a military general famous for pillaging.
Despite claiming that he thinks Colin’s death is a joke he still got up from his super slumber to see him, something he didn’t even do for the world wide vampiric council. He’s emotionally intelligent enough to understand that Colin’s death, real or not, is something he should show up for because he cares.
He and Guillermo play chess together on a regular basis.
Nandor makes terrible decisions all the time and his lack of knowledge on the modern world makes him come off as dumb, but he’s so observant especially with people. He understands how to control situations and others very well even if he’s an idiot. Every smart choice he’s ever made was informed by his ability to read the room. Nandor’s power isn’t in his muscles or fangs, it’s his ability to navigate social situations.
#I say this like he hasn’t failed every romantic relationship he’s ever had…#everyone calls him a stupid (me included) but he isn’t dumb he’s just uninformed#this is idiot Nandor erasure :)#nandor wwdits#what we do in the shadows#wwdits#nandermo#nandor the relentless#guillermo de la cruz#guillermo x nandor#vampire slayer#wwdits fx#nandor the idiot#Nandor

I just rewatched episode 4 and I'm not going to lie, I'm scared of Sean's current character development.
So I know it's only the first time we've seen him this season, and we'll see him again for sure in episode 7, but after my rewatch, I really felt like I was watching a 6yo in a costume pretending to be an adult.
We all know Sean's a dumbass, right, but in this episode it's reached new heights...
So yes, it's not the first time he's acted immaturely (when he threw a tantrum in s3ep5 when no one would buy him his pillows, the fight he had with Franky in the bar in s5ep2, or simply the fact that he wanted to organize a parade with the justification of wanting to bring a hockey team back to Staten Island)
But in today's episode his stupidity was OFF THE CHART :
First he has been fired from his job but you know what, that can happen to anyone, no matter what their condition, so no big deal.
But then his memory problems are so bad that he :
-Doesn't remember he has worked at Kinko’s
-Doesn't know how to use an elevator (using the term "go-go" which sounds a bit childish instead of going up)
-Laszlo is forced to repeat simple orders to him so he won't forget :
Laszlo : "If I tell you to leave that office, then get out of the office. What do you do ?"
Sean : "Get out of the office."
Laszlo : "You got it."
And even his behavior like... doing the "Young Dumb and Full of-" joke during a JOB INTERVIEW
Or completely losing it after learning he's been fired and leaves in dramatic fashion, with ✨HIS✨ comfort toy train (given to him by his grandfather)
Sean : "I'm taking MY train, which my grandpa gave me. This place doesn't deserve me. I'm leaving."
We also see him playing with trains in the background (don't forget that he was the VP of the company at that moment) and installing a mini basketball hoop on his door.
The fact that he forgot to zipper up his fly TWICE, and can't even assemble a shelf.
In the end I don't care, all those scenes and details were funny, but the way Laszlo talked about him at the beginning of the episode was so contemptuous :
Colin : "Just hypnotize the guy so he forgets about the interview."
Laszlo : "I wish I could. He's almost brain-dead. He's hypnotized out. He's a proper idiot. Doesn't know his ass from his elbow. I mean, he really is stupid. But he's my friend. I can't let him down."
Sean : "Hey, elevator box don't go-go."
Laszlo : "You need to press one of the buttons, Sean."
HELLO LAZ ?! I mean you can shit on your bestie but I think it was way too much here lmao, full roast
Like, okay, your friend's a moron, but Laszlo even gives the impression that Sean has become a liability, and it's technically the vampire's fault that Sean is losing all his cognitive faculties.
As Laszlo pointed out, Sean is "brain dead" to the point where even hypnosis has become useless.
It's as if everyone takes pity on Sean now and tries to make him happy and obey his whims because "it's Seanieee-"
Even Nadja was tender with him in this episode (just like in the Roast episode)
We can also talk about the fact that Sean STILL sleeps in the garage, in the background after learning that he will get a job interview thanks to Laz and Colin, he's getting excited and said :
Sean : "She's got to let me back in the big bed !"
referring to his wife, bro you're telling me it's been since s5ep2 you got your bed privilege revoked 😭
I'm probably over-analyzing this, but I'm sincerely afraid of how it might turn out, especially since it means that seanzlo won't be able to be consensual anymore (since Sean will have lost too many mental faculties and Laszlo will feel like he's abusing his friend)
Idk man, the way Laszlo (and Sean gleefully) insists they're best friends... I'm not feeling it AT ALL..
I think there's a clear distinction between acting stupidly, being a himbo yk (Nandor) and outright regression, and I think Sean has crossed the line with this episode.
It's true that Laszlo and Sean are ✨besties 4ver✨ but like, whenever Sean has the slightest problem, he runs to Laz, like a kid would to a parent for help or comfort.
I HATE IT HERE, NUH UH-
Remember guys, Sean has serious daddy issues, please don't let the show go in that direction of Laszlo becoming Sean's caretaker.
#I'M SCARED FOR MY SHIP OKAY#wwdits sean#sean rinaldi#wwdits laszlo#laszlo cravensworth#seanzlo#laszlo x sean#wwdits s6#wwdits spoilers#wwdits analysis#kinda#kztpost

for a show that claims to be diverse wwdits has gotten really fucking weird about poc and women in the last few seasons ngl. theres famously the whole marwa debacle, which most people seem to have forgotten, including the show itself, where nandor essentially trapped marwa, a woman of color, into the body and consciousness of some white guy AFTER spending a whole season shaping her into his "ideal woman" without her consent, wiping her free will, and turning her into a fucking puppet, and then we all moved on and forgot about that??? and then theres the fact that the one black character on the show is treated as simply a plot device and also an idiot before being killed at the end of the season and then brought back and shunted into a basement. and then theres the fact that guillermo, the one poc living in the house, has been working for no wages the entirety of the show while striving to gain the status of vampire to be on equal footing with the others, finally gained this status before realizing he didn't actually want it and returning to his former state to continue working for no wages. the djinn, a brown man, has been stuck in a lamp being carried around by nandor for the last seasons, and his ONLY role has been to grant nandor's wishes. they literally brought him back for 30 seconds in the finale to remind us that hes still in the fucking lamp. theres the fact that even though all the vampires are queer, nadja is the only one who hasnt had gay sex in the time we've known her. like... all this feels iffy at best

Alright. Now, this is gonna be long. And passionate. And the second rant I've written in an unusually short time. But today, I just about reached breaking-point.
Why the hell does the Silm-fadom do to Elu Thingol what it does to Elu Thingol. To be fair, it's not solely him, Elwing gets it far worse (what for????), but that's a post of its own. No, honestly. What the fuck is going on in the minds of people who demonise one character so much while totally glossing over EVERY character fault of others?
Now, don't get me wrong, as much as he is my favourite character in all I ever read or watched in my life, I know full well that Elu's no saint. He makes terrible mistakes, and he behaves at times in ways that make me want to forget that he's my fave. I also admit to reading/interpreting him a little differently from most people in the fandom (you know, being autistic sometimes comes with having a different view on people's motives and behaviours), but my opinions and headcanons are still canon-based. That's kind of the beauty of the Silmarillion with its very shallow character-descriptions, that it allows for various interpretations. That some are more apologetic than others is a result of that, and what in truth makes this fandom so very interesting. So being critical towards him is not at all what I am ranting about here.
But there is a difference between being critical and demonising.
I read a fic today that honestly shocked me to the core. And just in case author should come across this post and recognise their work in this text, please know that I am in no way criticising your story- on the contrary, it was a very good read, I found Elu as the narrating character to be hugely in character and perhaps in other circumstances, I would have quite liked it. I would have written that to you directly on AO3, but I know that critical comments are usually not well-received, and I also really didn't want to pester you about it. After all, it's don't like don't read. So to cut this short, my problem lies NOT with the fic, but with the reactions to it. And it really only was the final straw.
AND, had it been intended as a parody on fanon regarding Elu Thingol , it would have been spot-on as spot-on can be. It was basically saying that each and every thing that went wrong in FA was Elu Thingol's fault. The second and third kinslaying his fault, the deaths amongst the Noldor his fault and so on. And he drew the appropriate conclusions at the end. For which he was called a coward in the comments. And the thing is, that story is fanon on him in a nutshell. The Noldor are always depicted as the victims. And while I'm totally fine with that, be the fuck as apologetic to all characters, fandom.
Like, I'm totally fine with excusing the actions of the Noldor by mental health or just mistakes made or curiosity or hot-temper or a specific view on things. Yeah, great. Compassion is such an important element in all Tolkien's works that I am always in favour of displaying it also in the fandoms concerning his legendarium. But you can't just do it on one people. You can't depict Maedhros as the tragic hero while at the same time condemning Elu Thingol for naming the Silmaril in a flash of impulsivity, when he was telling Beren to begone. Yes, that was idiotic, yes, he was in the wrong there, yes, what happened after was totally a result of that mistake. But still I daresay that he was punished for that in the most terrible way possible, which was the death, the ultimate death, of his only child.
You cannot pass over the Noldor invading Elu's lands and then claim that the ban on Quenya -a language that had by then already been replaced with Sindarin in mixed settlements because Sindarin was easier for the Noldor to learn than Quenya was to the Sindar and Nandor- is cultural genocide.
you can't claim that the kinslayings were caused by Elu and Dior and Elwing's refusal to hand over the Silmaril, that they positively forced the Fëanorians' hands, and at the same be very understanding about the dwarves murdering Elu (yeah, he insulted them, is was an absolute arsehole there, but that still is no excuse for murder)
You can't go saying how the Oath drove the sons of Fëanor to all their actions and then be convinced that what made the Silmaril such a trap for Elu to be nothing but greed.
And just so I make my point completely clear, I am all for being apologetic. About Fëanor and his sons, about Eöl, about the smiths of Nogrod, be apologetic about Sauron and Morgoth even if you can find that in canon for yourself, or if you just happen to feel those characters. Be open and curious about the apologies other people have for their favourite characters. But apply those rules to ALL characters.
Honestly, please stop. Please, if you want to hate Elu, to which of course everyone is entitled, hate him for what he canonically does. Don't make up stories about him just to make him look worse. You know, you can love your faves without having to demonise others.
And please, if you need to vent your feelings about Elu Thingol... tag it as such. It's so so so annoying to try and find content about your character and then get nothing but bashing or the same half-truth repeated again and again and again without further evaluation.
(Even better, stop hating all around. Yeah, it's just fictional characters. But you know, courtesy to the internet, real people look a whole lot like fictional characters. Judging, demonising, bashing, scapegoating, that all works on real people (or peoples!) just like it works on fictional characters. And the trouble is, real people might react in real life just as Elu reacted in the aforementioned fanfic and take their own life. Only that in real humans, dead is dead.)

here are my thoughts on wwdits (i went from liking the show to being indifferent)
i wish they couldve decided if they wanted to be a IASIP show or a OFMD show... like if theyre just idiots with short plots or if they wanted to set up for a longer storyline? it felt like they didnt know which direction to go until the last couple seasons
i was so disappointed with theeee finale where guillermo gets shipped off in a crate and they all travel, only for the next season to start with them all returned?! i wanted to see everything that happened 😭
Guillermo also being like. the slapstick comedic relief was funny for the first two seasons and then they started teasing bigger plotlines that went nowhere... I got tired of it ?? my partner feels the same, (them being latine) and seeing him be the butt of every joke just started grating on us after awhile. we wanted him to have a win or at least for things to look like they were changing
annnnd then they did the bit where guillermo feels like every day is the same and then the series felt like it went back to the same shit as before again...
and then the plotline with marwa (the lady nandor was with? his wife) was. hm. very unfortunate. and guillermo finally having a bf just for that to get taken away from him. idk. they put wind in the sails and then change direction that the wind vanishes
it feels like they were pulled back and forth with things they wanted to do vs just wanting these characters to be unchanging and shitty (which is fine bc iasip does that!!!!) but like. they just couldnt commit one way or the other and it felt disorienting ? bc i wanted the characters to change but the writing didnt feel the same
idk if any of this makes sense?? and thats not to say its not an enjoyable show (i still love clips and the performances themselves are top notch, a lot of the episodes on their own are very funny of course) but its sad that the writing felt so torn with what they wanted to do
idk if this resonates with anyone else but thats my thoughts... i hope we still get we'rewolves but afaik its been shelved u__u rahhh i wanted sooo much more from this show than what it gave us plbtbbtbtt lets see what the final season brings

This is belated as hell but posts about it keep coming onto my dash so:
Paul does this shit like once a year and then something else contradicts him and I really just ignore him at this point. I still think Guillermo never once considering he'd have to kill humans that he's already an accessory to killing is idiotic and makes no sense so it's downhill from there. My expectations are extremely lowered in terms of everything knitting together well.
But if the dude's gonna be 2012 about it he can at least put some effort in, because Nandor being Guillermo's boss is like only the fifth or sixth most fucked up thing about their relationship.
More importantly it's like...the ONLY one of those things that isn't true anymore, Guillermo is no longer going to be a vampire, Nandor is just his weird friend now and they're gonna have to deal with that.
Am I dumb enough to believe it's a feint that he specifically brought up the boss thing? No. I think he's just an idiot. But logically in the storytelling, the story where their happiness and relationship make up the core of the emotional and serialized beats of every season, it's the next thing that's gonna come up. Nandor isn't his boss anymore, Paul! What now?

Related to that last rant:
Nandor and Guillermo both have extreme control issues, though they manifest in different ways, and they're both going to keep fucking up their lives until they can find a way to cede that control to each other in healthy ways!
Nandor used to be in control of his own country, but he doesn't want to be in charge anymore! He's become the peacemaker of the group, strangely enough, and he plays at being in control of the house but he's always much happier when he cedes that control to someone else -- especially Guillermo. Every person in that house already knows that Nandor no longer has the heart for tyranny (Laszlo was especially blunt about it) but the problem is that Nandor doesn't know who he is if he's not some kind of dictatorial warlord.
(He's Guillermo's guy wife, clearly, but he's still figuring out that he really, really likes taking care of Guillermo right back.)
Nandor's really struggling with giving up control (in the household, in the council, in the vampiric community) if just because he doesn't know what the alternative is, and that uncertainty frightens him. And that's the real control issue. He's afraid of change because then he can't control what goes on in his life! He's afraid of his relationship changing with Guillermo because he can't control the direction it will go! Guillermo makes him uneasy, if interested, because Guillermo is the one thing he can't control at all!
It excites him but it also terrifies him and that guy needs to learn to let go and enjoy the ride!
And then on the other side you have Guillermo, who has more of a nurturing kind of control issue? He's taken care of these vampires for over a decade and he knows how quickly everything goes to shit without him. It's given him a little bit of a savior complex, but he also desperately needs to be needed.
It's sort of egotistical because he always believes that he knows better than everyone else what the household needs, and he believes no one can do these things better than he can. He's surrounded by idiots, so he isn't entirely wrong, but he isn't entirely right, either. He isn't always correct when it comes to what's best for everyone around him (and his tendency to try to manipulate the vampires is very irritating to them) but the bigger issue is burnout. Guillermo thinks no one can do these things like he can (see: his issues with Topher) so he won't let anyone help him. He just takes on more and more and more responsibility until he runs himself into the ground.
For the most part, the vampires let him do this. But in The Wedding, you could really see the logical conclusion to this problem and even they were starting to worry. We'd seen Guillermo do that kind of thing before -- like when he wouldn't allow himself to sleep when the assassins were coming because he assumed that if he ever took his eye off the vampires, they'd die. But we hadn't quite seen him destroy himself to that extent before, and even Nandor had to acknowledge that he was driving him too hard.
The problem is that... like... Guillermo will literally just keep taking on responsibilities until he collapses. He'll say "well, no one else can do this right" so he won't accept any help or admit defeat. He has this almost pathological need to be needed, but that's a manifestation of a control issue, isn't it? He feels like if he drops the reins for even a second, everyone he loves will get hurt.
It's not healthy, Guillermo! You need to learn to take breaks and ask for help! They love you now! They'll probably do it! Even Nadja was sticking up for you in The Wedding!
Besides, you can see his rising resentment towards them, which is fair because they treat him like shit but also unfair because they didn't actually ask him to do most of what he does. Many of Guillermo's responsibilities (especially his daytime ones) seem to be self-imposed, and his protective instincts definitely are. He runs the household so efficiently that they don't even seem to realize how much he does for them, which shows that he's a great familiar but has also allowed them to take him for granted. That's hurtful to him, but he also hasn't demanded respect until very, very recently.
I want Nandor to allow himself to let go of his need to be a figurehead and I want Guillermo to allow himself to let go of his need to have the real power in the household. Neither one of them actually has to run things here, and they're making themselves miserable. I think if Nandor allows himself to serve Guillermo a little bit for once and if Guillermo allows himself to accept that help, they'll both be a lot happier.
They both need a vacation. :') A real one, not the year-long disaster we had between s3 and s4. Come on, guys, let yourself lean on someone for once and admit that you don't have all the answers.

Okay I love what we do in the shadows but every time they try do to what are basically filler episodes they are always so hit or miss like the filler last season was great it was the bottle episode private school and it was great despite being an idiot plot now hybrid creatures was just weird like the three separated plots were so weird
The plot 1 hybrid creatures was the one tied to the season overarching plot but not really I mean there's the almost interesting idea of showing that Guillermo transformation is being slowed down because he us still human and its not okay with killing and eating the innocent a point that would've been way more believable if we hadn't watched Guillermo murder innocent people(and ignoring the murder of innocent people) for nothing throughout the seasons why they keep insisting Guillermo has any morals or is the "good innocent boy" when the text showed he wasn't ?
Plot 2 the school was also nothing it was a long joke about cool teachers like mr schue from glle as a set up for a cute Nandor Collin moment which again would've been more impactfull if we hadn't seen them last episode I actually enjoyed the way it had a set up and pay out with Collin "history is told by the oppressors" and the way they portrayed nandor's culture in the museum a great moment used in a nothing episode
Plot 3- it was funny I mean seen Nadja being a failure is always a win but again why not having the guide to be there, at the beginning I was betting that the witch was the guide using the cloak of duplication to try to spell it out to Nadja what really caused the hex but no just a random scammer it was so pointless
Overall this episode felt lacking in every way it wasn't that funny it wasn't that plot relevant it was a nothing episode that I will not be rewatching because if you remove it entirely from the series it wouldn't change the experience at all

God ok. So I rewatched the season 3 finale right. This was my first rewatch since bingeing the entire show in 2 days with no breaks except sleep last spring so obviously this was my first REAL watch of it that wasn't over emotional and sleep deprived. And I still cried my eyes out.
That finale (and the third season as a whole) is such a perfect piece of television for so many reasons but I'm just gonna be rambling about some of my favorite details for a second so just hang tight
Guillermo interrupting himself at the beginning with "and I deserve it" is SO UNDERRATED I'm obsessed with him
Laszlo draws such a realistic line of putting up a front of apathy even though we as the audience know how close he and Colin got that season. Like obviously he's mourning but it's not cartoonishly obvious that he's lying like we would see from Nadja. He's just unusually quiet.
Colin's pictures being torn out jumpscared me. Not a fun thing to forget about when you aren't emotionally prepared
I miss the Nadja doll. Where was she in season 4 fr
It cuts to Guillermo when Nandor talks about being reminded of how eternal life can be snuffed out in an instant. Camera guys ily
"You're running away from your feelings!" vs. "You're one of the things I need to get away from!" I never forgot about this moment I just can't believe it exists
Do y'all think Viago is gonna be confused when Guillermo shows up as a guest judge on drag race this season
LASZLO HAD A FLING WITH WALT WHITMAN????????? WE ALL JUST FORGOT THAT EXISTED HUH
Guillermo's little grins as he ran around trying to manipulate the house into staying. I love this little shit
Laszlo's speech legit got me choked up. WITH NADJAS THEME IN THE BACKGROUND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
Ok. Fuck. The fight scene. GOD.
¡¡¡PLANCHA!!!
Wouldn't say Guillermo cheated, fought dirty yes but cheating is a bit of a stretch Nandor. I thought you were a strategist
HOW COME NO ONE TALKS ABOUT GUILLERMO THROWING THE KNIFE BACK ANYMORE. WITH THE "AH AH AH!" THAT WAS COOL AS FUCK I LOVE HIM
"You're just scared of me right now" I mean, that and one other thing probably
I know it's been pointed out on here a million times but I wonder if Guillermo realized that Nandor wanted to share ancestral soil. He must have realized right
NANDOR'S SMILE AFTER GUILLERMO LEAVES IM GONNA BE SICK
"MY NANDO- MASTER" AND WHAT IF I SCREAMED
The hat. Maybe it was packed and that's why Guillermo had such bad luck (/hj)
THEIR PLAYFUL TEASING. UGH. NANDOR IS SOOO BABYGIRL IN THIS EP
Do y'all think NADJA will recognize Guillermo on drag race????????
Catch me literally sobbing at the train station. NANDOR LOOKS SO PATHETIC. YOU CAN SEE THE HEARTBREAK IN HIS EYES. WHILE GUILLERMO CALLS OUT TO HIM. THEYRE IDIOTS AND I HATE IT HERE
The lighting on the scene where Laszlo discovers Baby Colin had no right being that cool
That kinda just devolved into recounting the events of the episode through screaming but like. It stands. That episode. God.
#i may have more coherent thoughts in a second but holy hell#wwdits#wwdits season 3#nandermo#ramblies
