No thoughts just Kaua and Llinos having italicised 'oh' moments over each other

~

It happens like this; there is a fight. Kaua jumps into the fray, sword in both hands as she stamps down the fear (it was an ambush but it was their ambush, their plan, this was what they wanted) and lets curses fly from her beak that do just as much damage as her sword. She is alone along the side of the path with a handful of bandits spilling from the trees, faltering when she charges to meet them. An arrow thwips towards her; she hears it as an afterthought, in the same instance as wood breaks and a breeze whistles by her in the wake of something. Kaua chances a glance to the side as she shoulders one man back, giving herself breathing room. There's the arrow, black wood and goode-grey feathers, but partway through the shaft is a red shafted arrow driven through it like a nail, fletched with raven-black feathers. It's stabbed into the ground, and the black arrow's shaft breaks around it and falls into the dirt. One of her opponents falls with a cry, an arrow sprouting from his leg. Kaua snaps her gaze up as she hears Rhydderch scream of a bark, spots the red fox unerringly as he streaks out of the trees. She should focus, she's lost seconds, she's still in a fight but oh There's Llinos, hooked onto a tree and out of range, bow in hand, eyes on the bandits. The clash of metal is a discordant shriek that should yank Kaua's attention back and it does but she's relying on muscle memory, unable (unwilling) to look away from Llinos in the trees as she fires again and again, each arrow hitting its target. And Kaua's heart sings. * It happens like this; Llinos spins to a halt on the outskirts of the dance and looks up towards the stage, breathing, and there Kaua is; just off centre, on the edges of the circle of light that illuminates the band leader. She's bent over her ukulele, attention on nothing else - her eyes might be closed, actually - and head tilted, bobbing slightly, fingers flicking over the strings and Llinos Everything fades and Llinos holds in the moment, on her toes, ready to spin back in, and she thinks oh and the light is soft against the iridescence of Kaua's feathers and Llinos is Oh, she's gone, arrow to the heart and all. She stumbles as Jasper catches up her hand, brings her back into the dance, and she can't see Kaua any longer but she wants to believe she can hear that ukulele above everything, even Jasper's unanswered question and huffed laughter at the dazed expression she must be wearing.

[WWDitS finale spoilers]

Aside from the obvious – the gross shipbaiting and mocking naive viewers who dared to believe an m/m dynamic could be treated as anything other than the butt of the joke – my biggest issue with the WWDitS finale is that it’s an ending that could have made sense… but at most after s2. Back then, we were still watching a story about characters who didn’t share any particular bonds (except for Nadja/Laszlo) and who were entirely static, unaffected by the things they experienced.

The thing is, the creators themselves realized you can’t build a long-running story on that formula – eventually, the characters had to evolve at least a little, and their relationships had to deepen so viewers would have any reason to root for them. And so Guillermo’s position in the group began to change – first, he earned their minimal respect, then a very solid place, until finally, in season 5, all the other characters had reached a point where they didn’t even hide that they genuinely cared about him a lot. The same happened with Colin, who at first was completely left out by the other housemates but gradually earned an equal spot in the group and developed that stupid yet sweet bond with Laszlo (erasing those memories was, imo, one of the writers’ biggest mistakes). Laszlo showed himself capable of empathy, which he proved again in s5 by helping Guillermo, and even Nadja, who used to completely disregard everyone’s feelings, had several moments in later seasons where she openly cared – at least in her own way –  about the others.

And of course, that’s how we got the romantic subtext between Guillermo and Nandor. Over all those seasons – from s3 up until s6 – I was certain it was a classic will they, won’t they dynamic that would end with them getting together. I just couldn’t believe the writers would spend the last 4 seasons making their relationship more equal and showing Nandor’s journey to realizing Guillermo genuinely mattered to him, only to do nothing with it – or worse, regress them back by three seasons. But the late s6 Nandor’s “no homo” attitude has very little in common with the Nandor from seasons 4 and 5, who was openly pining and lusting after Guillermo.

From Guillermo’s perspective, this ending is an absolute tragedy – even the end of the previous episode gave him much more hope. Maybe he’d lost his lifelong dream and still hadn’t found a new purpose, but he had found a family and a place in the world, with a potential chance to build something meaningful with Nandor in the future. I don’t understand why this episode had to undo all of that – to show us that none of his friends really listen to him, that the power dynamic with Nandor will always be uneven, and that ultimately he wasted 16 years, and no one would really care that much if he left. Considering how great Guillermo’s development was, especially in gaining confidence from s4 onward, this ending feels so unfair and insulting to his character.

I feel like the writers’ biggest mistakes have been forcing a return to the status quo after every season. After the breakup in s3, the characters should have stayed apart for at least an episode or two. Colin should have remembered that Laszlo raised him, and they should’ve kept their funny, fucked-up father-son relationship until the end of the show. Guillermo should’ve been a real vampire for at least a full season—or, in my opinion, permanently—because, as it turns out, the writers had absolutely no idea what to do with his character once he lost that goal. Relationships that had evolved shouldn’t be randomly reset by a couple of seasons just because the writers couldn’t be bothered to put in the effort to write anything new for them.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too – if the writers were so dead-set on giving us an  ending that says “nothing in these characters’ lives matters, and nothing will ever change,” they should have made the show half as long and spared viewers the trouble of getting invested in character and relationship arcs that ultimately went nowhere.

This is a comedy show that was supposed to make people feel better. After this finale, I feel mocked by the creators for believing that the queer ship they sold me for 4 seasons had a chance of being treated equally to an m/f ship. I’m also sad because the characters were regressed and left stuck in eternal limbo, and generally I feel ridiculed because the writers openly made fun of us for getting emotionally invested in the story they wrote for us.

And maybe the biggest crime of these last few episodes was that they weren’t even remotely funny—so you can’t even say they prioritized comedy over character development, because it failed on that front too.
