i don't know anything really about wwdits but i'm assuming something big happened because my dash is FULL of posts about it from you

from my understanding, there is a problematic gay couple or something, and someone isn't letting them be gay and problematic. that is all i know. i hope i have understood correctly.

Ok, so there are these two characters, Nandor and Guillermo. Nandor is a vampire, and Guillermo is his familiar. However, Guillermo also is a descendant of Van Helsing and used his vampire hunting skills to protect his vampire family (Nadja, Lazlo, Nandor, and Colin Robinson). Throughout the show Guillermo has gotten crumbs of more respect from all of them, but especially from Nandor.

Now, the show has basically set up Guillermo and Nandor to be a couple. From season 3 having a devastatingly similar ending to season one of ofmd, to Guillermo basically admitting to a stranger he has feelings for Nandor, to Nandor admitting he was going to go to space to impress Guillermo, i could go on. Also both are established to be queer and into men. But recently, in an interview with the showrunner, the showrunner seemed to imply that this couple they have been baiting us for 5 seasons may not happen. He said their love is more profound than hooking up/sex (weird given how Nadja and Laszlo have a very profound romantic relationship and are shown fucking all the time), also saying “who wants to see that?” (The answer is the queer people you have been baiting for 5 seasons), and pointing out that they have a potentially problematic power dynamic, with the very memed about line “that’s his boss”. I do not have the article on hand, but if you go around the tag i am sure you will find it.

If i were to give the showrunner the benefit of the doubt, some of this sounds hopeful. The phrase he uses, “hooking up”, to me implies purely sexual and not romantically involved. Given how they have been set up, I would be disappointed if Nandor and Guillermo had a purely sexual relationship, and not a romantic relationship where they fucked a lot. Also, once again giving the benefit of the doubt, it sounds like he might want to put Nandor and Guillermo on more equal footing which would give them less of a power imbalance (which why is that so important when Nadja hypnotized Laszlo before she had sex with him and then turned him into a vampire??? Ngl that seems a bit more problematic but whatever).

But all of this could easily be a straight guy coming up with nice-sounding excuses for why a queer couple that has been set up from the beginning will not happen, which has pissed everyone off, understandably.
