#i know nandor is going through lots of awful shit but

I feel weird about Nandor's behaviour, like it's such a regression? I know being thoughtlessly cruel is his whole brand but I feel like since the beginning of s4 he's been shown to be more attentive to Guillermo (I even told myself he's growing from being a dumb asshole into just a dumbass). But yeah ep 9 reverted all that, which is very disappointing. And tbh I don't think this Nandor deserves Guillermo at all, which Idk how to feel about ;(
It's funny. I've seen a lot of people saying this about Nandor, but he actually felt fairly on-brand for me. He did something horrific, but didn't realize that it was. Like I think he genuinely wasn't trying to hurt Guillermo, didn't realize he was, and when he figured it out, he tried (ineffectively) to fix it. If anything, I think he was just written as too dumb in this episode. That might be the real issue here.
I think the disconnect here is that this feels uniquely awful to the audience and to Guillermo. It just doesn't feel that way to Nandor. And I think that's the only reason why it doesn't totally ruin his character for me. It feels more like when he gave that glitter portrait to Guillermo, you know? We as the audience know that Guillermo was devastated and we were kind of devastated for him, but Nandor thought he was being a nice guy the whole time. He didn't understand how forgetting how long Guillermo had been there or making him think he'd get turned was cruelty.
I think the thing is that Freddie, like Marwa, was just a shiny to Nandor. I think Guillermo realized that, which is why he was so clear that this was his first and only boyfriend. This isn't like Marwa to him. Freddie was important. But I'm not sure that's something that Nandor could fully understand, even after Guillermo explained it to him. I think Guillermo might be the only person he's ever loved like that, so Guillermo putting it into terms of dating (so he thinks "like Marwa", so he thinks "collect them all, like wives") instead of truly losing someone you care about still just didn't get through Nandor's thick skull.
So him manipulating Freddie didn't feel any different than repeatedly changing Marwa to him. He never conceptualized it as taking anything from Guillermo because he didn't understand that the physical person wasn't the issue, it was the relationship they had built up together. (Fully hammered home by him then trying to give his own Freddie to Guillermo like a replacement goldfish.)
When Guillermo was sad, suddenly having this new shiny wasn't fun anymore and he sent him on his way -- with lots of crocodile tears of course. He still didn't even get why he did it.
To me, Nandor's actions didn't feel that odd to me. What felt much weirder was the way the writers approached this. It wasn't Nandor's cruelty that I found off-putting; it was the writers'. It was the meanest thing they've ever done in the show by far, and I can see why it crossed a personal line for so many viewers. Like that last scene! Guillermo going all the way to London to try and win his boyfriend back, only to see him cheating on him with his fucking clone. That was the writers' decision, not Nandor's. And an episode ending with Guillermo's genuine and shattering heartbreak was just a bridge too far for a lot of viewers. I get that.
(Side note: Harvey has been given some shit scripts this season but boy is he acting the hell out of them.)
Moreover, the way that the writers also didn't seem to realize that what was happening to Marwa was fucked up alarmed me a lot more than Nandor not realizing it.
Nandor is dumb and selfish and his dumbness makes him cruel. Okay. I get that. But what's the writers' excuse for all this? Why did they think we'd want to see this or find it funny? Why didn't they realize the implications of what they were doing? That's what I find more troubling in the long run...
As for Nandor "deserving" Guillermo... I mean, he's always been a dick who didn't deserve good things. Guillermo is also a terrible person who doesn't deserve good things. I think Guillermo might actually be the cruelest person on the show, and I stand by that. Like say what you will about Nandor, he never purposefully infiltrated "loser" spaces and made lonely people think they'd finally found a friend just so he could murder them and make fun of how nerdy they were to camera right after. Guillermo is so fucking mean! I wouldn't be surprised if he even made some people think they might be losing that virginity of theirs when he brought them home. Like why else would he be asking about it!
Guillermo is outwardly sweet, but he can be very selfish and cruel, just like Nandor. I think we forget that sometimes because he's so kind to the vampires. Really, though, I actually think they deserve each other. lmao. Nandor is Guillermo's karma for how awful he is to other people. (And really, I think Freddie would have picked up on that eventually... and I still think that would've been a much more interesting direction to take things...)

finally got caught up on What We Do in the Shadows last night with the hubby and . . . hoo boy that last episode was a doozy and i have a lot of thoughts so this will be a long post (mostly about Freddie himself)
Baby Colin hit puberty overnight and is now Angsty Teen Colin? Nadja’s nightclub might be going under because she has no main attraction anymore? the drama! but then they’re like, look at Guillermo being all happy and cute with his boyf--nope nevermind everything sucks for everyone now because Nandor is relentlessly selfish and awful. like, the guy really just cannot stop? and now Guillermo has to watch his first serious boyfriend cheat on him . . . with a clone of himself . . . who used to be a whole ass different and unique and wonderful person unto herself. a person who, had circumstances been different, maybe could have been a good friend of Guillermo’s as the only other human in the house and also the only other person to really understand the bullshit Nandor puts him through. a person who, although it may have been due to a wish in whole or in part, appreciated Guillermo and openly thanked him for all of his help and wished him well. a person who has slowly had her own individuality, autonomy, and self stripped away from her, piece by piece, wish by wish, by Nandor’s confused attempt at making her “perfect” when what he really wanted was something else all along.
like, fuck, dude. that’s some heavy shit.
i’ve seen a lot of posts already talking about the absolute horror story that is this entire season, but especially this last episode, from Marwa’s perspective. that’s a really important thing to talk about, and i’m glad other people are on it. i have nothing to add on that front, except that i too cannot wait for her inevitable comeback and hope she gets to kick Nandor in the balls at the very least.
something i haven’t seen people really talking about though, is how this episode is also a fucking horror story from Freddie’s perspective.
just imagine, for a minute. you go on a trip to hang out with your long-distance boyfriend and experience all the exciting new things in New York Citay. you have a lovely time; after meeting the dementia patient your boyfriend caretakes for, you go out and get pretzels and dance together and watch a broadway show and get cheesecake and laugh together and get cute touristy pictures and all that jazz. then you go to drop him back off at his place and—
you see yourself, cuddled up with the dementia patient in front of a fire, draped in furs. the other you is clearly nude, and the dementia patient is only wearing a pair of boots. they clearly just had sex. is that even a thing you and your boyfriend have done yet? and what the fuck is that other you? is it a long lost twin? just a doppelganger? some weird fucking real doll bullshit? but no, you’re screaming, and the other you is also screaming in the exact same way and probably also running through the exact same list of possible explanations for what’s happening and didn’t Guillermo say he thought he saw Nandor, the dementia patient, a few times today? was the other you going out with Nandor, following you and Guillermo, doing all the exact same things you were doing? what does this mean what’s happening what—and then all of a sudden everything is fine. Nandor told you and the other you to be cool with each other, so you’re cool with each other. he told you and the other you to like each other, so you like each other. you play charades, and you barely have to motion before the other you knows exactly what it is you’re thinking of. no one has ever understood you so completely. not even your boyfriend, Guillermo.
you have to go back home eventually though, and when you arrive, it’s not the same. you miss the other you. you miss that total understanding. so when you facetime your boyfriend but the other you appears in the background, of course you take some time to talk to him. and when he shows up in England all of a sudden, of course you welcome him into your home—he’s you, so it’s his home too, isn’t it? he’s you, so it’s his bed too, isn’t it? he’s you, so of course he understands you, and that’s what everyone wants in a partner, isn’t it? you forget about Guillermo. why would you remember him when you have the perfect partner right there next to you? /end imagination time
that’s fucking horrifying, isn’t it? poor dude doesn’t even know that the supernatural is real, and he ends the episode in a hypnosis-induced affair with himself. the fact that he and Freddified Marwa end up together is directly related to the hypnosis, is has to be. which means anything that goes on between them is coercion. which means Nandor is effectively SA-ing both of them. not that i think the show will address that angle, of course, because even though it’s a dark/horror comedy, that still feels a little too heavy for them to come out and say so on air—but i do think it’s important for us as the viewers to talk about it. and maybe to ask the showrunners and cast and crew about it too, because whether the SA reading was intended or not, it’s definitely there
and why? why did all of this happen? whether intentionally or subconsciously, the end result of this whole shitshow is that Nandor and Guillermo are both single now. and single people are free to date each other, right? who cares if it took VIOLATING THE BODILY AUTONOMY OF TWO OTHER PEOPLE AND DESTROYING SOMEONE’S ENTIRE SELF to get them there? Nandor certainly doesn’t!
i’m still holding out hope though that Guillermo does care and will tear Nandor a new one for it, and not just for ruining his happiness. i hope Guillermo beats his ass and either knocks some sense into him so he can use his last two wishes responsibly, or he steals the lamp and uses some wishes himself to set things right. . . . or Marwa steals the lamp and uses her wishes to set things right and fuck with Nandor. whatever happens, i just don’t want to see Nandor abuse his wishes and the power they give him over other people anymore. i’m kinda over it. please let him learn his lesson and learn it hard because i cannot watch him relentlessly steamroll other people anymore, especially with the expectation that i laugh at the ridiculousness of it because this is ultimately supposed to be a funny show

Ok so, I’m not gonna make any broad generalizations about what everyone was thinking when we first got the Freddie leak back in January, but for me personally, I wasn’t expecting him to last very long in the vampire household. Like, he was probably going to run off at the first sign of supernatural happenings (or get in touch with his British roots and steal all of their shit) and Guillermo was just going to have to spend the rest of the season dealing with the fact that he can’t have a normal human life after everything he’s been through.
But if the leaked episode titles are real, then Freddie is probably going to be sticking around until at least episode 8, and OH BOY THAT HAS SO MANY POSSIBILITIES
Like, yeah, everyone is already talking about Nandor being a jealous bitch in the same way that Guillermo was when Gail was around, and that’s going to be extremely funny, but consider that Gail only stuck around for a single episode. Imagine if Nandor had been dating her for most of season 3, and Guillermo was just making bitter faces in the background any time they expressed any sort of affection for each other. And Nandor has WAY less self control than Guillermo. Guillermo also doesn’t have vampire powers. Imagine hearing a voice in you head that sounds suspiciously similar to your boyfriend’s boss telling you to leave. There’s going to be some wacky hijinks.
Also, if Freddie is going to be around for as long as he is, I highly doubt that he’s going to spend the whole time as an innocent human who has no clue that supernatural beings exist. Well, maybe he will, and I’m sure that trying to hide the weirder aspects of his life will be very interesting for Guillermo’s character arc, but he’s probably gonna figure out what’s going on at some point. Either way, we’re going to have another human in the main cast consistently interacting with the vampire house, and unlike Guillermo, he isn’t anyone’s employee. So going back to what I said about Nandor being a jealous bitch and trying to use his vampire powers to intimidate Freddie into leaving, I can imagine him using the ether to try and freak out Freddie and Freddie just responding like “Aw Nandor I know that’s you! How did you do that? You silly goose! That was so creepy, you’re so good at pranks!”
I hope all of that made sense, my brain is going at a million miles a minute with speculations that are sometimes contradictory, because on one hand, Guillermo’s relationship with Freddie is probably going to be a really interesting way to develop his character, but on the other hand, this is a comedy show and there’s a lot of possibilities for hilarious things that could happen to this poor man. He’s going to suffer one way or another and I’m going to eat that shit up

Forgive, But First Fun - Nandor x f(vampire) reader
Summary: After getting left behind to fight off a pack of werewolves on your own, now mad at Nandor, you and Nadja have decided a little night out couldn’t hurt.
Warning: slight angst, fluff, fun times, and a tiny smut mention
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Trudging angrily through the manors wooden doors, face stern and almost scary enough to put the fear of God into anyone. Your boots stomp into the large opening and onto the wooden floor boards as Gullimero, Nandor, and the documentary crew follow you in.
Your cloak is ripped and dirty as it lays in a pathetic black heap of cloth in Gullimero’s arms, your hair not looking any better, not to mention your face and arms that have various cuts paired with grass smudge marks adoring your skin. All in all you look like a hot mess.
“What the fuck happened to you lot? You’ve been gone all night.” Questions Laszlo as he walks into view from out of one of the hallways, his eyes scanning over a perfectly clean and handsome Nandor, then over to the dirty crew and disheveled Guillermo who’s got some leaves stuck to his hair.
“I don’t know.” You snap sarcastically, “How about you ask Mr. Dodgy-shit-stick over there.” Referring to Nandor who’s looking anywhere but you, keeping as silent as ever.
Gullimero looks between you and Nandor, then back at a confused Laszlo. “Oh, um they’re not speaking to each other right now.”
“And why the fuck not?”
Guillermo sighs before leaning towards Laszlo, “Nandor wanted to graffiti where the werewolves live and Y/N said he’d get caught and then Nandor said no I won’t and then he did.”
Laszlo raises a curious brow, “That’s it?”
“Oh, um....” Guillermo awkwardly scratches the back of his neck, suddenly pulling off a green leaf, “then they chased us to the park and when the pack closed in on us Nandor turned into a bat and left us behind so Y/N had to fight one of them off so we could escape and now we’re here.”
“Well that sounds rather exciting.”
“Not at the time.” Whispers Guillermo to no one in particular as he glances over at the camera.
“Huh,” Mutters Laszlo thoughtfully, scratching his beard as he thinks of how to help this situation, “well if you two dingbats aren’t talking to one another I believe Nadja needs you Y/N. Something about....well actually I’m not entirely sure.”
Perking up ever so slightly at this positive news, you cross your arms over your chest defiantly, “Well since someone does, I’ll be going then.” You grumble with a low growl at your Nandor who’s refusing to make eye contact while he stares frustrated at the floor.
Nodding in acknowledgment, Laszlo watches you stomp angrily up the steps before turning his head over to Nandor who’s now watching you leave with big sad eyes.
“Alright why’d you do it?” Interrogates Laszlo with a raised brow.
“Do whaaat?” Replies Nandor defensively, his once high and mighty aurora reappearing in an instant.
Rolling his eyes, Laszlo sets a hand on his hip sassily, “Well I sure as hell don’t want an angry Y/N wandering around this old place for the next however the fuck it takes you both to make up....in however fashion that may be. So I ask again, why’d you puss out and flee like a mangy opossum?”
Pursing his lips together in apprehensive embarrassment, Nandor mutters to himself before finally crossing his arms over his broad chest and sighing, “Because......I....I don’t know I panicked!” Exclaims the large vampire, causing Laszlo to start laughing. “Why are you laughing?”
Wiping a fake tear from his eye, Laszlo lets out a few more chuckles before finally composing himself, “My good man that is the second saddest thing I’ve ever heard. The first being when one of my many victims offered me one of their rare and exclusive Poki-muns card which I still have no idea what the fuck they were on about. Anyways, doesn’t matter, all I’ll tell is that you better make it up to her.”
“But she’s scary when she’s angryyy.” Whines Nandor with a frown.
“That’s all women my young pup, but since your lovely lady is a vampire she’s more dangerous.” He says while giving Nandor a kind pat on the back, “So uh, stay safe out there.” Adds Laszlo before turning and walking down the hallway leaving Nandor with his thoughts, Gullimero, and the documentary’s camera crew.
“What are you all looking at!” Snaps Nandor to the rest of the room.
——
“Oh my goodnessess that’s awful, my poor dark angel.” Soothes Nadja as you take a moment from your long and needed rant about the adventures in the park and Nandor’s cowardly stupidity. “That big hairy rhino doesn’t deserve you Y/N.” She reasons honestly, doing her best to make you feel better, knowing all to well the level of competent decision making skills of the other two vampires in the house.
“I know.” You mutter in agreement, your body tense and agitated as you pace back and forth in front of her as she sits in a chair, “Fucking beautiful idiot prick horse-fart of a husband. Urgghhh!” You proclaim loudly while throwing your hands into the air angrily, causing the furniture in the room to screech backwards across the old flooring at your outburst of vampiric energy. Nadja’s long obsidian hair blowing backwards as you do so while she keeps seated, unflinching.
Face softening, she gives you a sympathetic smile, “Oh my lovely fierce lioness, I know exactly what will make that sad little frown turn into a happy one.” Beams Nadja with an excited clap of her hands.
Hugging your sides, you let out a frustrated huff before giving your old friend a shrug, “What do you have in mind?”
——
“So we’re at the carnival!” Claps Nadja in delight as she smiles at the camera, “This will hopefully relieve Y/N’s pent up angers and keep her mind off of Nandor.....for now.” She adds a bit uncertainly.
“HA HA take that fuckers!” You shout joyfully from behind her, the camera panning over to you at the ball toss where you’ve been knocking down plastic bottles with a rubber ball. The stall owner cowering in the corner as he shields himself with a stuffed zebra.
The camera focuses back on Nadja, “I think it’s going really well so far.” She confirms with a convincing grin. “Relieving all that..uh....rage.” 
After winning a stuffed snake taller then you and deciding to wear it as a strange fashionable scarf, you and Nadja are wandering the carnivals streets while people watching to pass the time.
“So that’s why I never walk on the roof after 3am when I’ve had homeless man’s blood.” Rambles Nadja as your thoughts about Nandor come trickling down into your brain and nose. Huh, strange, must be cause you’re still wearing a thin red scarf of his.
No, stop thinking about him.
“Good lesson learned then,” You add with the flash of a smile before nudging her shoulder gently, “hey you wanna watch me win you something cool?”
Perking up in an instant, Nadja smiles a devilish fangy grin as she stops to eye up the multiple game stalls, “Why I would be delighted my dear Y/N, how about....um, oooh I want that giant tropical fishy with the long whiskers over there.” Points Nadja as your eyes travel over to the game stall with the large prizes.
It’s a game that requires the individual to shoot an arrow directly on three different sized bullseye’s stationed at various heights. Smiling like an idiot, you nudge your vampiric acquaintance in agreement, the both of you quickly swaggering over to the carnival game and it’s plush flashy prizes just screaming to be won.
“Hello good sir, my skilled roommate Y/N here is going to win me that fish.” Beams Nadja proudly as the teenager jumps off his chair to greet the two of you.
He smells like weed but surprisingly looks decent all things considered, “Uh yeah alright, two bucks for three arrows, hit every target directly on the middle red mark and if you make it on the bonus poster on the far back wall then you’ll have a chance to win that fish, good luck.” Mumbles the kid unenthusiastically as you slide him the cash.
Picking up the shitty yet still functional carnival bow, you give Nadja a wink before fitting an arrow in the nock and pulling back, lining up the shot and releasing directly into the first target to the left. Smirking to yourself you quickly draw again, hitting your second mark just as intended. Pays to be a skilled archer huh.
“Damn that’s pretty good aim.” Nods the teen as he watches in awe as you fit another arrow, releasing and punching a hole in the middle of the third target.
Nadja claps in excitement from behind you, “Yes! Win me that colorful fat bitch my feisty lioness!”
Standing like a warrior ready for battle with your bow in hand and wind blowing in your face, the kid almost drops the arrow he hands you for the winning shot as he practically swoons.
“Get those scissors ready, that fish is mine.” You growl in determination while picturing Nandor’s head as the final target, drawing back, you let the arrow fly straight into the bonus target. Winning Nadja her giant fish plushy.
“Yessss!” Shouts Nadja in delight as you drop the bow onto the table like a bad bitch before eyeing up the kid with a raised brow, “We’ll be taking the fish now.”
Wide eyed he almost falls off his chair, “Wait um, that’s the last one...I didn’t think, uh, my boss doesn’t want me to give away those ones.” He stutters out.
“What!” Snaps Nadja, “Then why are they just hanging there? You lied to us you little shit!”
“I’m sorry.” He pleads apologetically, “That’s what my boss told me. And no one ever wins the big prizes anyway so I didn’t think...”
“Well your boss he can eat a big horse turd cause I’m taking that fish.” You growl before jumping up and unhooking the fish from its perch above your heads, handing it to a practically glowing with joy Nadja who immediately hugs the thing.
Sticking your tongue out at the teen, you and Nadja turn to leave before a boney hand is suddenly on your shoulder, twisting around in an agitated instant, your face is mere inches from the wide eyed boy as he attempts to look even a tad bit threatening.
“No.” Is the only thing that slips from your tongue before your hand shoves him back, his whole body going air bound into the back of the carnival tent while the kid lets out a panicked scream.
“Ooooh Y/N that was very sexy of you.” Smirks Nadja while wiggling her dark brows, “Too bad a certain cowardly lion wasn’t here to see it.”
Petting the stuffed toy snake around your neck absentmindedly, you smile back a fangy grin, “Yes. Too bad.”
Continuing on your late night stroll through the carnival you both pass by random strangers, families, elders, children, and lovers all minding their sweet business completely unawares to the dark supernatural world walking right past them.
Although you’re quite enjoying this time spent with your best friend in the whole wide world, a low dull feeling of emptiness can’t help but creep into your undead being the more you catch sight of new and old couples walking together.
Sensing your growing sadness, Nadja nudges your shoulder playfully to gain your distracted attention, “Hello in there my black rose, what is on your mind?”
Holding the snake close to your body, a small smile creeps its way onto your face knowing she’s looking out for you, though it’s gone soon enough, “Oh you know....uh....blood.” You mutter unenthusiastically, trying to keep your thoughts away from Nandor and how much you miss him right now.
“Blood is it? But we just fed before attending the carnival.” Inquires Nadja in confusion as she keeps a normal pace at your side while the two of you follow the sidewalk past various shops and restaurants. “What is actually plaguing your mind my dear one?” She wonders with a frown, not keen on seeing you upset and in a grey mood.
Biting your lip anxiously, though not hard enough to draw blood, you walk past a couple more people before your eyes catch the sight of a small black bat disappearing behind a corner building just up ahead.
Squinting your eyes, your nose suddenly catches the scent of someone very familiar, “Nandor?”
Turning her head to face you, Nadja’s brows furrow in puzzlement, “What? No my sweet hurricane, forget that mangy old bear he’s not important right now.” Urges Nadja as she looks forward, suddenly surprised to catch a glimpse of someone who looks a lot like Guillermo racing behind the same corner you saw the bat fly behind. “Okay um what the fuck? Did you see that too?”
Glancing at Nadja you nod before quickening your steps as she does the same, her skirts flowing as she tries to catch up with you, though you’re much faster and with lack of annoying dress material, “Wait! You’re too fast.” Yelps Nadja.
Ignoring her protests you book it down the sidewalk like a maniac, almost running into a jogger before skidding round the corner of the brick building and coming face to face with a wide eyed Guillermo who gasps in surprise. Nudging him to the side, your eyes immediately fall upon the nervous fangy grin of your Nandor.
He gives you a shy little wave before shuffling awkwardly in place, awaiting your rampage of verbal and possibly physical assault that he’s certain is in the near future.
Taking a deep breath, you cross your arms over your chest defensively, “Were you following me?”
“Um, well.....I might have been....but only to make sure you were okay.” Mutters Nandor honestly, eyes shifting from you to the ground nervously as he awaits your wrath.
Pursing your lips together in thought, you shake your head before taking off the stuffed toy snake and holding it firmly in your hands. With a low growl do you grasp the snake in your right hand and hold it back like you might swing at any moment.
“You’re a fucking nincompoop you know that right?” Slips from your mouth without an once of anger lacing your words, instead do you hand the snake to Gullimero as Nandor watches in puzzled fear.
Taking a swift step forward, you point a finger into his strong chest while looking sternly up at him, “Racing off and leaving me too fight that angry bitch all by myself, and now following me when I needed a break from you! Nandor....... you’re something else.” You add with a shake of your head.
“Yes I know, and I’m sorry my love.” Smiles Nandor with saddened eyes, “I promise to keep you save from now on and fight off any werewolf who tries to hurt you....even if I am scared.”
Taking a step back, you can’t help the smirk that forms onto your face at his sweet words of forgiveness and sincerity. You know how much he fears werewolves and that he fled the scene thinking you were planning on following too, not realizing that you might actually give a shit about Gullimero’s and the crew’s lives.
“Oh my dear puff dragon,” You declare softly with a small smile, reaching both hands out to grasp his own, “I forgive you.”
Nandor’s face breaks out into the biggest and happiest grin you’ve seen since his last birthday when he walked into your shared crypt only to find you naked and holding a bushel of red roses while seated seductively on his coffin.
“Oh that’s fantastic because I was really missing you.” Reveals Nandor with a gentle squeeze of your hands. “Laszlo and Guillermo can’t make me laugh nearly as much as you can, they’re honestly rather boring.” He says before leaning in closer to whisper, “and not very attractive to look at either.” Causing you to crack another grin and your undead heart to fill with butterflies. 
Chuckling you reach up with one hand to pull his collar closer to you and a second later do your lips clash sweetly against one another in a heated moment of passion. He smiles into the kiss before moving to pull you in closer with both of his hands, one slipping low to cheekily pinch your round bottom.
Feeling him against you once again has to be the best sensation in the whole entirety of the world even if you’ve only been separated for a couple of hours. You absolutely love the way his fingers dig into your back and bum with an animalistic eagerness that’s slowly starting to drive you insane. Oh, the things he does to you.
Especially how his tongue slips into your mouth with ease while you tug at his hair long dark locks. “Y/N!” Suddenly shouts Nadja.
“Nandor!”
Begrudgingly pulling away, you turn around to face the confused lady vampire while Nandor hugs you from behind, happily smirking at her, knowing she can’t do anything to hurt him now. “Yes Nadja.” You answer.
With the fish plushy hung over her shoulder, her brows furrow in confusion, “What the fuck are you doing? I thought you were mad at him?”
“Yeah well, I was starting to really miss him and also I’m kind of horny now so.” You reply with a shrug as Nandor hugs you tighter, resting his bearded chin against your head while Nadja huffs in defeat.
“Alright. See you at home then.” Adds Nadja before turning towards Guillermo and shoving the giant carnival fish into his arms, “Hold this Gizmo I’m going home.” Then just like that she’s gone in a black wispy poof, flying away in bat form towards the vampire resistance on Staten Island.
“Okay then.” Mutters Gullimero as he looks up at the dark sky.
Feeling a wet kiss on the side of your face and neck you smile before turning around to face your dear husband, “Shall we take flight to seek out our bed chambers?” You speak slyly in a soft yet seductive voice.
“Yes.” Grins Nandor with a flash of lust and excitement before turning his attention over to Guillermo, “Hey Guillermo I’m leaving to make passionate love to my wife so don’t bother us or I will have a rat shit in your pillowcase. Okay?”
You giggle to yourself as Gullimero’s cheeks redden while he side eyes the camera, “Understood master. Have fun.” Squeaks out the loyal familiar as he stands there awkwardly with his hands full of two carnival prizes.
Nandor sneakily squeezes your bottom once more as he gives Gullimero a knowing smirk, “Oh, we will.” Then a second later you two are flying high above the city in bat form, ready to make love to your sweet Nandor for probably the twentieth time that week.
Down below the camera pans over to Gullimero as he blinks, “Well uh, I have these things now..” He says, holding up the fish, “and I am so not looking forward to cleaning up their mess.......again.”

*✧・゚ when you have to go to work or you can’t come over or something, she gets depressed and whines about how much she misses you
*✧・゚ but it’s cute whenever you show up unexpectedly or in general bc the mood instantly changes 
*✧・゚ she runs into your arms and covers you in kisses and hugs
*✧・゚ like complete shift from “I don’t know if I’ll ever feel better... I’ll just settle for my husband” to “My darling!!!! You’re here!!!! Lazlo, get off of me, I don’t need you now”
*✧・゚ always telling you stories about her village and different adventures she’s been on bc you’re always so genuinely interested in everything she’s ever done
*✧・゚ likes to read to you when she has down time

*✧・゚ Plans adorable dates for the two of you, whether they be at home or out and about 
*✧・゚ Out dates usually consist of taking you to a live show since she loves the arts, or simply taking you out to the movies, at some point she hella wants the two of you to take a painting class together or go dancing somewhere 
*✧・゚ She even tries to take up cooking so she can feed you herself (though let’s be real she’s an awful cook, it’s the sentiment that counts)
*✧・゚ like you come over one night and she’s like “Look my darling! I have made you a roasted chicken!” and it’s literally a whole chicken, feathers and eyeballs still intact, it’s just been burnt to an absolute crisp but her eyes light up when you show your appreciation that it’s too fuckin cute (please don’t eat her cooking I beg of you)
*✧・゚ Always showering you with gifts, from little knick knacks like furs of an animal she accidentally killed to big lavish gifts such as ancient jewelry 
*✧・゚ constantly getting out older more extravagant dresses to wear so that she can impress you
*✧・゚ You get her a phone so she can text you but she’s awful at it, constantly sending you accidental selfies and taking pictures of everything around the house to show you what she’s up to, you also have to teach her not to use all caps with her texts  
*✧・゚ if you’re sad or someone upset you, the world better be ready for her wrath because she will destroy anything and anyone that has made her baby cry, let’s get that clear 
*✧・゚ seriously someone gave you the wrong sandwich at mcdonalds one night and the next day you saw that the restaurant was completely closed bc apparently someone was very badly injured and there was blood all over the building 
*✧・゚ and when you confront her about it all she can say is “well hopefully they’ll get my love the right order next time”
*✧・゚ Gets you a gorgeous ring for you to wear as a symbol of your commitment to each other 
*✧・゚ She always constantly hints at turning you and really wants to, but she always wants to make sure it’s something you want and hella respects whatever decision you end up making 
*✧・゚She doesn’t care if you’re a human or a vampire, all that matters to her is that she has you and she’s able to show you her unconditional love every day

okay quarantine’s got me with a lot of free time and inspo, it seems so here is part two of this growing ficlet that I think will need to be posted to A03 at some point yes? Part one is linked above, I’m not sure this little installment will make much sense without it.
probably goes without saying that this story will have nandor x guillermo endgame eventually, but there’s a lot of interpersonal shit that needs to be dealt with first methinks. A lot. A veritable laundry list of issues.
It’s early, early morning, still very dark outside and the time of ‘day’ when Nandor retires to his slumber. He and Guillermo are going through their usual bedtime ritual, which consists of (some amount of) disrobing, hair brushing, and now, of course, Guillermo’s occasional, quickly stolen glances at his phone. Nandor pretends he doesn’t see, at least for his familiar’s sake, but he does continue to send knowing sideways looks to the camera. The producers know, after all. 
And maybe if there hadn’t been that absolutely uncomfortable conversation with the other roommates he might have said something by now. Made it about Guillermo’s inability to stay focused and on-task or something. 
“Master, can I ask you something?” Guillermo says after a time, to which Nandor startles a bit. “I feel like the others have been...kind of strange lately. There’s a lot of weird staring. Glaring, maybe. I’m a little confused. Did I do something wrong…?” 
The producers are also aware that Guillermo has a secret of his own, and so he shares a look with the camera that suggests he might already have an idea of why he’s been on the wrong-end of so many dirty glances. 
“Staring…?” Nandor repeats, trying his damndest to seem like he has no idea what any of this could be about. “At you? I don’t know. Maybe you’ve misplaced some of their things while cleaning.”  
“Well...see, I considered that too, but they’ve never been afraid to point it out before. Usually in raised voices…” 
Nandor shrugs and insists, “Well, I don’t know, I’m not a mind reader!” 
Guillermo sends a doubtful look to the camera, and pushes with his newfound backbone, “Okay so...you really have no idea why they’ve been doing things like,...watching me from the upper landing while I clean the floor?”  
They both send a look to the all-knowing camera then, simultaneously unaware of each other’s respective panic. Nandor seems to be weighing the pros and cons of just coming out with it, or maybe some revised version of the truth. 
“Uhm...well, it’s just…” he stumbles, to which Guillermo backs away for a moment and watches him with narrowed eyes. Does he know? 
“There was a conversation the other day. It was all very ridiculous.” Nandor sighs, rolls his eyes. “I...noticed that you seem more distracted by your little computer-phone machine lately. I asked them about it. That’s all.” 
He kind of skips over his words as if it’s all of no real consequence, but Guillermo’s eyebrows have risen in surprise. Undoubtedly this isn’t what he was expecting. 
“You...could have just asked me,” Guillermo scoffs a little. “What did they say?” 
Nandor looks like a petulant child being forced to clean up his toys. 
“They...seem to think you’ve-...taken a lover.” But he scoffs too, willing the idea to be ridiculous. Maybe if he pretends enough that it is, it will be. “So, you see, it’s all rather silly. They get carried away sometimes, it-” 
“They think I have a boyfriend,” Guillermo clarifies, flatly. “Well. They are...right. I do.” 
He releases this knowledge as if it’s a bit agonizing to do so, but not nearly as much for him as it is for Nandor to hear it, as the camera so aptly captures. The latter of them turns on his heel, staring down his familiar, open-mouthed, and so he gapes for a moment before releasing a weak, “....oh….!” and one can see the process he goes through of shock, to feigning that this revelation is fine. No big deal, even. “That’s….nice…for you…!” 
Nandor’s fake smile is less than convincing, and this is cemented in the pause of awkward silence that follows. 
This might have been the point in things that Guillermo from before would’ve let it be, moved his master to retiring to sleep, but this is the Guillermo of now. The Guillermo that has been practicing often with his stake-loaded crossbow. The Guillermo that has been making out on the sly with the leader of a den of vampire hunters. He is not the same.
“Okay,” Guillermo sighs, impatience growing. “But none of this explains why Laslzo and Nadja keep watching me. Like they’re planning something. Or...know something I don’t. Why do they care if I have a boyfriend? I haven’t slacked on my job, I’m still...doing all of the things I’m supposed to do.” 
He says this with some amount of distaste and a look of uncomfortable self-awareness at the producers. Some of the things he’s ‘supposed’ to do would seem pretty god-awful to others in his life…
Either way, Guillermo is clearly backing Nandor into a corner. He didn’t need a stake-loaded crossbow to do that, it seems. 
When the silence continues as Nandor hems and haws for something reasonable to say, Guillermo suggests, “Do...you have a problem with me having a boyfriend?” 
“No!!!” Nandor quickly exclaims, having found his voice all of a sudden. “Why would that be of any consequence to me?? Everyone seems to think I give half a shit when all I care about is your constant distraction with that phone...computer…! Why does he need your attention every second of the day anyway??” 
As has been shown, time and time again, Nandor does not have a gift for knowing when to stop talking. 
Guillermo’s got a glare of his own now, as well as a clenched jaw. 
“Oh yea, I can’t even imagine someone needing my attention every second of the day, that would be insane.” 
Nandor does a double-take. “Are you being sarcastic with me? I don’t care for this tone!” 
“Well, I’m not too fond of this constant prying into the one aspect of my life that’s my own, after years upon fucking years of you demanding everything from me with little to nothing in return, let alone the agreement we made!” 
Both voices are definitely rising in volume now. 
“Agreement…” Nandor scoffs with a roll of his eyes. “More like the only thing I could do to get you stop following me around, begging me like a peasant on the street.” 
It’s possible the producers have never, to this point, captured Guillermo more angry than he is in this moment. They don’t waste the shot. 
“If I was so annoying why didn’t you just kill me?” he rallies back. “Might have saved us both the trouble of ten fucking wasted years!” 
The tenor in volume is now such that the sound guy is likely going to suffer some time of hearing loss, such that this ‘conversation’ will be heard to all corners of the house. 
Meanwhile, Nandor has paused, because...he realizes, perhaps, he’s never really considered why he didn’t just do that. Guillermo has a point. It would’ve been easier. Killing him any time along the spanse of his 10 years of supposed annoying service would have been easier- that is, if anything he’s said in that time had been the truth. 
“I-...!” he starts, then stops again, then settles on the stupidest thing anyone could have said in that moment. “This is a useless conversation. I’m not going to be yelled at by a servant with pathetic dreams of being something more. That’s all you’ll ever be! It’s a mercy that I never turned you! You would have been even more of an embarrassment to the house, to vampires everywhere, for that matter!”    
Something in Guillermo seems to have snapped. He’s working his jaw and trying to fight an urge inside of him that goes unspoken. It’s successful. He instead manages a forced, satisfied smile. 
“That’s fine. That’s all fine, because...I don’t...want to be a vampire anymore.” 
Despite all that Nandor’s just said, the look they capture from him is one of shock. Maybe something else. 
“And what’s more,” Guillermo continues, his words carefully chosen. “I don’t see a point in doing this anymore either.” 
And he throws the brush he’d been using on Nandor’s hair to the floor. 
“Brush your own hair,” he says, looking a bit delirious from all the things he’s holding back from saying, doing. “I quit.” 
And before anything  else can be said or done, Guillermo’s made a sharp turn out the door of Nandor’s room. 
For Nandor, it’s as if the cameras don’t exist anymore. He’s looking at the door like the world’s just caved in from underneath him. 
From outside the door, however, Colin is seen having listened in to the whole thing, and is now very much sated from the looks of it. 
“That...was amazing,” Colin tells the audience. “You ever find a piece of cake in the fridge everyone forgot about? That was a whole cake. Man, I hope he comes back. Let me know if they squabble again, yeah?”

WWDITS - human bar au
AO3 
Human AU where they all work at Lucky's Bar.
In which a bar owner pines over a dark haired singer, his business manager pines over the bouncer and no work gets done.
Back when he was a broke student working two jobs and not getting any sleep, Guillermo had vowed he was never going to work a customer service job again. He had taken his business degree (he had gotten addicted to Shark Tank during the weeks he was applying to college) and made up a CV that made balancing shifts at Panera Bread and Baskin Robbins with school seem like a superpower. (It was, in a way. He had mostly gotten through by eating bags of chocolate covered espresso beans.) Lucky’s Bar had been the first place to offer him a job and he had taken it.
Nearly a decade later, he was starting to regret it.
It wasn’t a bad job but the stress of it was probably going to kill him one day. Mostly the stress of his weird quirky boss who wouldn’t listen as Guillermo explained why donating ten percent of their monthly profits to the local girl’s volleyball team was a bad financial move.
“Laszlo can you focus?”
“Yeah, yeah-” he waved his hand, always hitting Guillermo with one of the elaborate rings he wore, “give me a minute.”
Guillermo pinched his forehead. Going over finances with Laszlo was painful enough without the awful shrill singing going on. Music nights were good in theory - it was always busy and occasionally the local talent was actually talented - but he had to be deaf or drunk to have hired Nadja.
“Can we do this in your office?” He tried again.
Laszlo shushed him. “She’s magnificent isn’t she?”
“Nadja?” he asked in disbelief. “Like, the woman on the stage?”
“Obviously.” Laszlo gave him a look like he was stupid. (That happened a lot too. At least he stopped calling him Gizmo after he threatened to hire and then call a HR representative.) “Her voice is like a siren’s call.”
“Or just a siren,” he muttered.
“What?”
“What?” he repeated. “Let’s look over this finance stuff tomorrow instead. You can… enjoy this.”
“I will do old chap.” Laszlo had eyes only for their newest singer, which answered the question on how Nadja had gotten the job. (Although he did seem to actually enjoy her singing, which was questionable.)
Guillermo grabbed his coat and slipped outside. The cold air was a relief against his too-warm skin and the sound of traffic was welcome. It was a quiet night, being both a weekday and he suspected that Nadja’s singing had something to do with it as well. The street outside was nearly empty, apart from a few people on late night walks. It was almost peaceful.
“Is she still singing?” A voice behind him asked.
“Dude,” Guillermo said, clutching his chest, “please don’t do that shit. We talked about this.”
“Right, lurking in the shadows scares people.” Nandor rolled his eyes as if he had been unreasonable. He was Lucky’s bouncer which fit him since he was massive and intimidating, although Guillermo knew he was nicer than he let on. (He was always showing various members of staff pictures of his sponsored horse John.) Nandor had only gotten the job because he was Laszlo’s ex-something (roommate, boyfriend, lover? Guillermo was yet to get a straight answer out of either of them).
“Pretty sure Nadja only got the job because Laszlo’s super into her.”
“Nadja?” Nandor repeated. “Dark hair, European accent, terrifying presence?”
He shrugged. “I haven’t spoken to her yet but she has long dark hair, yeah. Do you know her?”
“Guillermo, she will be sticking around for a while,” Nandor said seriously, “she is Laszlo’s soulmate.”
“What, he just met her so-”
“She was his first love-” Nandor began dramatically, with a swish of his long coat, “they were in a band together and they had a lot of sex.”
“Didn’t really need to know the last part-”
“Well, it was a lot. A lot, Guillermo, I had to live with them.”
“What happened?”
“Fucking Jefff happened,” Nandor spat, “and Nadja left the band. But now they’re together again, Laszlo will not let that arsehole near her.”
“So, they'll get together again, be all gross and in love and Nadja will sing here forever.” Guillermo rubbed his forehead again. “Guess I’ll be doing all my work out here with you now.”
“I’d like that-” Nandor said, a little too quickly. Guillermo whipped his head up to look at him, taking in the way Nandor was nervously biting his lip, the hint of red at his cheeks.
“Maybe tomorrow,” Guillermo said softly, feeling a stab of guilt as Nandor’s face dropped, “I mean- I’m done working. But, I can stay out here, with you, lurking in the shadows.” He looked down, suddenly shy. “If you’d like that.”
Nandor inched closer, so their shoulders were pressed together and their fingers brushed. “I’d like that.”
