(spoilers for s1-s4)
You know WWDITS is good when throughout the whole series, sprinkled on top of all the comedy, there is a pattern of not truly achieving anything that doesn't regress back to its original state. It all reflects the condition of the vampire: alive for an eternity, capable of doing almost everything, but stuck with one thing for the end of time, being a vampire.
It has been explicitly shown in the arc when Nandor was brainwashed by that fitness cult, how they only pretended to have become human when in reality there was no return from being a vampire, but it is conclusive in many more arcs. How the rebirth of Colin Robinson resulted in being himself still despite any efforts done in his childhood stages for him to be different. How Nadja's nightclub was almost fated to be not be fruitful for long. How Guillermo's attempt at having a boyfriend never worked, seeping back into his loneliness. How Nandor tried to sleep off for decades but never got back on it. How Nandor married but it just resulted into an awkward separation back into his lack of romantic life. How they all separated, but came back to the house much sooner than anticipated.
Its a constant. Everything surrounding the vampiric main cast is circling into itself (Guillermo being dragged into it by his relationship with them). Because being a vampire is permanent. There is no room for change; change is unachievable. If they weren't going to accept it, the universe would make sure of it.
(when I saw Lazlo find out Colin had forgotten all about his time as baby Colin, I was shattered and I have to cope, like Lazlo also needs to cope)

all these vampire shows and movies are so fake for not hiring real vampires. like, clearly all these vampires are showing up on camera I already know they're faking it
I don't want to see another vampire movie until they start hiring real vampires

I thought tumblr had just decided to be super into Dracula all of sudden until I finally looked up what was going on. If you want more vampire content, check out Juda on Hulu. It’s about a Jewish vampire and is written and acted by Jews. It’s a cool reclaiming of folklore that at times has been influenced by antisemitism

Watching a vampire show with hypnosis in it.
Nothing sexual happened. I just react like this whenever I see someone hypnotized someone. I had to go outside because my face is burning too much. I didn't expect to see this much hypnosis. Not many other vampire shows have a lot of hypnosis in it.
