And how ironic that both relationships consist of a big, long-haired, bulky man with a dark past and a plump, understanding, caring tiny man as they could just melt into each other’s arms but life sucks and unfair so now they’re dealing with a breakup/ distance from each other.
Happy Halloween everyone! Here are some sketches of my fav vampires (and their companions) because I’m obsessed with this show
[ID: two pages of traditional pencil sketches of various characters from what we do in the shadows (tv) and some notes. the first page has 3 sketches. the top one is of nadja and laszlo pointing to nandor, who is holding up a finger. a dialogue box pointing to nadja and laszlo says “he did it your honor” and nandor’s says “um…wait a second”. it’s labeled “big sibling energy”. the bottom left sketch is of laszlo and nadja sitting and looking to the left awkwardly. laszlo’s dialogue box says “yikes” and nadja’s says “ugh, human marriage”. it’s labeled “soulmates”. the bottom right sketch is of the guide standing holding a scroll in her hands. it’s labelled “my queen” and her dialogue box says “it’s above my pay grade”. the second page has 5 sketches. the top left sketch is of guillermo holding a stake by his side. it’s labeled “gatekeep” and his dialogue box says “my name is guillermo de la cruz”. the top middle sketch is of nadja holding a pillow and looking to the right, labeled “girlboss”. the top right sketch is of the nadja doll sitting, labeled “gatekeep”. the bottom left sketch is of lazlo sitting in his jalopy wearing massive goggles and looking to the left, labeled “malewife”. the bottom right sketch is of nandor standing at a podium, holding up a finger. it’s labeled “himbo” and his dialogue box says “you will surrender” /END ID]
I actually genuinely hope that Nandor is a very sly and perceptive vampire and that he purposefully acts oblivious and dumb so people can lower their guard around him so he can get information easier or just make people feel more calm around him but like— if it’s revealed he really is a natural big dummy head and not as perceptive as I thought by it being like, him cornering Guillermo, bringing up a bunch of suspicious activity Guillermo has been doing— then him just saying a stupid conclusion that is not connected to the actual truth at all, and that just being a one-time “haha funny look im a dumb character” joke?? I will feel so STUPID if that happens and I have a sneaking suspicion that its an 80% chance it WILL and I’m NOT ok !!!!! : )
ok but when guillermo kept saying that something was up with that zombie familiar, everyone else played it off and THEN when guillermo almost gets murdered and Nandor appears out of nowhere to kill him???? BOY
like i think hes intelligent and dumb at the same time but also like……… in season 1 he blames himself on killing the vampire in the court when clearly guillermo said it was him. Everyone else in the court laughed except Nandor– he maybe didn’t laugh because he thought he was protecting them but… I think Nandor knows what Guillermo is somehow capable of
Yes !!! Nandor is very oddly perceptive, yet not..? I definitely think that is due to him mostly being in battles in his life, of course he is perceptive where he has to be because if you don’t pay attention on the battlefield you can easily die ! But of course, mostly focusing on war and fighting can make someone emotionally/socially stunted, so it’s hard for him to convey what he wants, including his own worries, and feelings !!! A showing of this is also the season finale of season 1, whilst Guillermo is helping Nandor get ready for bed, Nandor gently asked him if he was okay, and then asked him his ancestory ! He trusts Guillermo though, which is why he let’s slide BOTH of Guillermo’s lies to his questions. “I’m fine, just tired.” And “oh Yknow just… sterotypical… mexican pinata farmer-”.
I for one, cannot wait for a dynamic shift- I feel a huge one coming along, and I don’t think Nandor will react too negatively- I feel like he’d actually be impressed with Guillermo’s abilities !!!
