#what we do in the shadows season 5 spoilers
Text
I kinda feel like too many people aren't looking at the whole picture with Guillermo and Nandor/his family this season?
Guillermo knows, to a certain extent, that it's hurting Nandor that he's avoiding him. He just can't not avoid him because of the whole 'secretly turned by another vampire and Nandor will have to kill him then himself for the sake of his bruised honor/ego' thing.
Guillermo is also hurting though. His attempt to take some agency for himself by actively pursuing something he's wanted since before he even met Nandor has massively backfired on him in every possible way he couldn't even begin to expect. He didn't know he'd have a Weird Transformation. He didn't know there was some taboo for having another vampire turn him as Nandor's familiar (and he's not actually Nandor's familiar anymore anyway, technically, they're all just dumb and forgot that fact). He, comparatively, only recently found out about the whole Van Helsing thing and that his family can't control themselves around vampires (though I feel like it probably will be different with their Memo, if we're being honest), so he very likely thought for most of his time waiting for Nandor to turn him that he'd still be able to see them occasionally and get/give closure over a longer period of time before he had to stop seeing them when it became obvious he wasn't aging like they were.
He does care about his mom, yall, did you miss him breaking down in the elevator or were you just distracted by him breaking the hand-rail? He's just been very preoccupied with a whole lot of drama (Which he complained about! He told Nandor how upset he was that the wedding and Baby Colin were keeping him too busy to see his family! The end of season 4 was days before the start of season 5.) and an extreme life change. He's an adult. That kind of shit happens when you're an adult (granted, his situation is significantly more fantastical given the whole vampires thing but still). Sometimes you get caught up in your adult life and you miss your mom's birthday. Sometimes you make a big life change that you think is what's best for you and it means you won't be able to be as close to your family. Yes. It's selfish of him - to an extent - but for fuck's sake you can't live your life for other people, even - especially, in some cases - if those people are your family. I'm kind of appalled at people saying that he's deserving to feel bad and rejected because he made a choice for himself. Do you think his mom is blaming him as harshly as some of you are? No! The first thing she asked him was 'are you happy with this change?' She cares about her son's happiness. He's not entirely in the right but fuck do yall know how to do anything but swing hard in the other direction? There's grey areas! All in the middle! Right there, look!!
And then on top of him already being extremely emotionally compromised from reckoning with having to leave his family behind, on top of the already 'emotionally difficult' avoiding Nandor for both of their sakes, he gets another big rejection in his own home from the people he cares most about. I don't know if Nandor noticed that his rejection hurt Guillermo. He's dumb but I really don't know if he's that dumb. He's been able to recognize in the past when he's hurt Guillermo so I don't see why he couldn't now. Are yall gonna blame Memo for feeling bad if Nandor decides to do something to try and win him back or cheer him up? Or if Nandor is upset/worried about having hurt Guillermo?
I don't really know where I'm going with this anymore lmao. My point is: Yes, Guillermo's choice is hurting people but it's also hurting him and he's been hurt for a while now and hurt people hurt people (which is why Nandor lashed out too!) so cut him a little bit of slack maybe? He didn't do anything to intentionally hurt anyone he just wanted to take some agency back for himself that he's been missing for like. Ten. Thirteen years or so now.

So far, we know that Guillermo’s transition has him lacking certain vampiric qualities such as flying, super-strength, super-speed, turning into a bat (although forming bat ears was close), and hungering for human blood, BUT he has other powers/attributes such as:
- He can walk out into the sunlight
- Tiny (supposedly non-functional) wings permanently affixed to his back
- He can still use the term “God” with a slight cough/mild heartburn instead of his entire mouth erupting into flames
- His vision has been repaired to beyond 20/20 (but that may be a general “healing” trait that vampirism seems to give)
- He can still consume food
- He eagerly consumed an entire bulb of garlic (although I’m not sure if that’s a side-effect of the turning or that may be simply because there’s never any food in the house)
- Telekinesis
- His sweat can be used as sunscreen for vampires (methinks Memo’s Man Milk will soon branch out into Memo’s Sweat Cream)
All in all, as Laszlo’s scientific hypothesis has ascertained, Guillermo is certainly fucked up.

Fellas is it gay to hold hands with your best friend/familiar/bodyguard while holding a stake to your neck and speaking in an ancient language to let them know you can’t live without them?
Because if it’s not then what the actual shit.

The whole vampire household has been touting how Guillermo is “just Nandor’s familiar” for over 4 seasons now. And even at the beginning of this episode, Nadja says it again! She says, “why don’t you take him to urgent care, Nandor, he’s your familiar.”
But once Nadja gets him to urgent care, and the vampire doctor says he’s going to put Guillermo down, she immediately says, with no hesitation, “You can’t do that! Because…because he’s OUR familiar!!!!”
Not just Nandor’s. OURS. And then she proceeds to fuck up that entire clinic to save Guillermo, to protect him and bring him home, even after learning about him being turned already. That’s the good found family shit right there.

I feel like I’m being gaslit by people saying shit like ‘WWDITS better not pull the “one person in the ship gets abandoned after the possibility of running away together comes up” thing or I’m going to be upset’ because? They? Already did that? Like I understand the wound is fresh because of Good Omens 2 (and the resolution already HAPPENED in WWDITS compared to where OFMD and GO are now) but. Did. Did we forget this? The train station? Nandor’s desolate ‘Guillermoooooooo!?’? The suitcase? What is going on here lmfao?
