i fucking love how desexualised sex is by what we do in the shadows. nadja and laszlo had full-on sex onscreen in s4ep1 and they were BOTH FULLY CLOTHED. in fact, the whole main cast is fully clothed at all times and ironically, the one wearing the least layers is guillermo, who is thus far the most private and embarassed about his sex life. like sex is for the characters (because its what they would do) but not for the audience. the cast aren't scantily-clad, there's no lewd material for the trailers, sex is not being sold as part of the experience. for fucks sake THERE HAVE BEEN NO MAIN CAST KISSES in three and a half seasons (even though laszlo/nadja and now nandor/marwa are MARRIED).
the hilarious side effect of this is that the audience, like victorian gentlefolk, have started to sexualise the smallest things (i adore those posts of nandor wearing seven layers where people are thirsting over him). a whole episode is dedicated to nandor's penis, but the most sexual part of it is contract negotiation. there would be a bigger uproar if nandor held guillermo's hand than if he fucked nadja and laszlo at this point
I’M SO MAD BECAUSE I WENT BACK AND WATCHED THE SCENE WHERE GUILLERMO IS ON THE PHONE WITH FREDDIE AND HE TURNS TO THE CAMERA AFTERWARDS AND SAYS
"I know what everyone's thinking. I'm going to be super jealous of whoever Nandor's wife ends up being, but... I'm really not. I just want him to be happy."
BUT THEN THAT EPISODE HAPPENED
AND NANDOR TURNED HIS WIFE INTO GUILLERMO’S BOYFRIEND
