what we do in the shadows (2019-) / season 5, episode 1: the mall

it means SO MUCH to me that nadja actually called out to guillermo for help when she was struggling against that doctor. like. it's one (already huge!) thing for her to be protective of him and wanting to get him away from that place and back home. but it still sort of lies within the usual vampire/familiar dynamic where the the familiar "belongs" to the vampire and so is theirs for them to do as they please, ykwim? nadja wanting to take guillermo home can be read as a more extreme form of that possessiveness (we know it isn't, but it could be). she even tried to pass it as exactly that when she said guillermo was nandor's (/theirs) to kill. but when she called for him for help? that was something else, entirely and undeniably. it proves that she sees him as someone she can rely on for help and protection when needed, someone on her same level. it takes trust and vulnerability for a vampire to rely on someone like that, especially on a human. and she did it. and guillermo, despite being incapacitated (between the bindings and the drugs in his system), came through for her and protected her like she protected him!! found family at its finest, i'm so happy!!

MY FAVORITE QUEER CHARACTERS OF 2023

we are the same!!!

"I want more complex female characters 🥺"

BITCH YOU COULDN'T EVEN HANDLE NADJA OF ANTIPAXOS

Character A being cold and snarky but deep down veing very fond of character B and character B seeing right through it is my favourite trope ever

wwdits season 6 wishlist

• nadja femslash arc pleeeease please i beg. Just rewatched season one and even her being sexily maternal towards jenna has me drooling on the floor please please can nadja have a gf as a treat her husband has fucked so many men

• character development for the guide and for the joke of everyone hating her when she just wants to be part of the gang to stop bc it really got old. Give her something real to do other than trying to join the group. She was way better in earlier seasons hate to see them waste her now that shes a series regular. DO BETTER

• more absolutely bizarre storylines along the lines of baby colin robinson. Love the stuff that you can’t possibly explain to someone who hasn’t seen the show because it doesn’t even make sense in context. Also love that it took up a whole season and still did absolutely nothing to change the status quo.

• nandor/guillermo romance to be hinted at/built up even more to the point where it’s clearly a thing but never explicitly stated by the show. If there are more seasons after s6 i hope they dont kiss or confess their feelings or anything of the like in the next season. People are too spoiled these days expecting popular pairings to instantly get together in canon. I hope they fucking torture us for ages but keep it subtle enough that the people who insist on viewing them as platonic stay completely in the dark up until the very moment that they fuck on screen in approximately season 15. This is my dream
