Rewatching wwdits (pt2) s3e8

pt2 Rewatching wwdits and... the wellness center (the one and only)

Obviously is the “finding happiness” scene.

I’ve always just focused on Nandor saying “And I care for you too much to burden you with that” and their physical contact, but never really really on “There’s that smile”. 

So, Nandor has a smile from Guillermo that he prefers? Like, out of cameras, did Guillermo smile at Nandor in such a way that he would be able to differentiate Guillermo’s type of smile?

I’m sick, really sick

(also that made me think of Freddie’s episode and their conversation, Nandor seeing Guillermo so mad at him and his attitude afterwards.....)

(english is not my 1st language, so i hope that my words are in some way understandable <3)

WWDITS Pine Barrens (S4E7) and The Wellness Center (S3E8)

The fact that both Guillermo and Nandor made Frasier references may simply indicate a fondness for the series by the writers. Or it could be a subtle hint that both of them have watched the series together much like they watched The Wedding Planner together. And it could be a reminder that it took time for the Daphne and Niles relationship to come to fruition. Plus, David Hyde Pierce is gay. But I fully admit that I could be reading way too much into what may have been a simply humorous line.

On a different note, people in the fandom are asking why Guillermo's family didn't tell him they were vampire slayers. Back in the very first episode Guillermo showed a picture of himself as a kid dressed up as the Antonio Banderas character from Interview with a Vampire. If he continuously showed a love for the character and the movie, his family wouldn't have wanted to hurt him by expressing their enmity towards vampires.

guillermo listening to nandor tell him this is the first time he's felt truly happy in his immortal life, desperately wondering why nandor's version of a happy life doesn't include him.

[not-ginny-ginny]

i know s3e8 was very nandermo but in the cult nandor is happy to finally feel appreciated as second in command instead if being seen as weak, being a vampire puts the same pressure on him that being a supreme leader did (which he was reminded of bc of his ascension day)

so if nadja would just appreciate his contributions she could run the counsel with nandor as her number two, no longer fighting each other for power

I’m absolutely not thinking about the fact that when the vampires were surrounding Guillermo once they found his stakes he steps towards Nandor. It’s because he knows Nandor wouldn’t hurt him, your honor.

Nandor: i am Guillermo's trophy boyfriend [insert that dumb smile he does]

Nandor: this is because he is a vampire hunter, rawrrr [cringe "scary" gestures], and i am a vampire. he "captured" me [insert more dumb smile/laughing] i am the hunting trophy!

Guillermo, surprised but visibly touched and eating it up: well, I wouldn't say I "captur—

Nandor: also because i am the hot one :)

michshlo said: I really really love all the more subtle ways their dynamic changed, and this is such a great example! Nandor allows Guillermo much more as time passes, and I love how Guillermo lets himself be bolder, like when he's laughing at Nandor about the 'number 2' stuff. He wouldn't have done it in season 1.

---------

I actually thoroughly agree with that joke being another great example, but for two reasons!

The first is the one you’ve stated. I cannot see season 1 Guillermo making that kind of joke at his master’s expense, especially not on camera. Meanwhile, Nandor was saying the most HEINOUS shit about him right on camera and he didn’t do anything about it. (I think he probably would at least roll his eyes or something now.) But by season 3, yeah, Guillermo feels comfortable enough to giggle at Nandor’s extended accidental poop joke.

The other reason is even bigger to me, though! That happened in episode two of the third season. In episode eight, Nandor talks about it again as one of the things that made him leave the house for a literal cult.

“In my former household, I would have been teased mercilessly for saying things like, ‘I am a number two.’ But here number twos are treated with the utmost of respect.”

It has been MONTHS in-universe, maybe even as much as a year. But Nandor was still fixated on Guillermo laughing at him!

What I’m getting at is, I think that Nandor seemed kind of flustered and annoyed in the moment, but that was to cover up that Guillermo genuinely hurt his feelings. Like he clearly uh. Really internalized that moment. And some of that is probably the embarrassment of his former familiar laughing at him in front of cameras, but like... I think it also really genuinely bothered him that Guillermo doesn’t “respect” him.

It’s kind of debatable here whether or not Nandor STILL doesn’t get that it was a poop joke. There are really two options. Either he figured it out eventually and was embarrassed that Guillermo was laughing at him for making an accidental poop joke. Or, also possible from his phrasing up there, he thinks that Guillermo doesn’t respect him because he’s number two to Nadja. Whereas at the cult, people don’t treat him poorly because he’s Jan’s second-in-command. Like keep in mind, Nandor never did go back to being a co-leader of the council after this part. He renounced his station for the super sleep and then he left the country. I think he was actually feeling kind of overwhelmed by the power-sharing situation, though I suspect that’s a whole other essay lmao.

This got long, so let me just say that I AGREE with you and I think it’s HILARIOUS that an extended poop joke became one of Nandor’s many sources of angst throughout season 3. But it’s also sad, because it shows that he believes that now that their positions have shifted, Guillermo no longer respects him (whether because he’s willing to make fun of his mistakes in front of others or because he thinks he’s second to Nadja) and that upsets him quite a bit.

I think that Nandor always demanded respect before this point, but I think he cared less on an emotional level what Guillermo thought about him. Now he uh. Clearly cares a lot. I think it ties into his sense of moorlessness in season 3 (no one respects him, no one listens to him, he’s not really in charge fo anything anymore, etc.) and is part of what ultimately leads to his intense vampiric depression.

THAT’S A LOT FOR A POOP JOKE. :|
