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

What the Lost Boys think of vampire related media pt.2
Tumblr media
After your last vamp media talk you had more questions you absolutely needed the answers to. Some of those answers came more naturally than you thought.
What we do in the Shadows:
-This is their absolute favorite show. It's just something they can all sit down to watch and get a nice laugh.
-David was actually the one that suggested it to the group
-He thinks it's about as close to what being a really vampire is like.
-You brought up your last conversation about why no vampire media could be so close to the real thing and he quickly responded with “Vampires are made up to be these gross demon creatures with no self control, when in fact most vampires were just normal humans going about their life.”
-He knew that no one in this show actually knows any vampires because of inconsistencies, but it's as close to it as they can all get without having to kill anyone for it.
-”Are you off your tits, boy?” “He is.”
-Paul quotes the show all the damn time (And so do the others but he is the main culprit.)
-you actually can't get him to stop
-”I became a vampire to suck blood and to fuck forever.”
-”No fuck off. Can't be side tracked with cheap sex potions.”
-Need an answer to any questions? Paul will respond with “Coprophilia.”
-Marko is giggling at Paul's quotes and answers with his own
-”Pizza pie” :D
-”He's my sweet cheese!”
-”She speaks the bullshit.”
-His favorite character is Nadja of course
-You have to pry him away from the T.V if you need him to do something else
-Dwayne will stop whatever he's doing if you offer to watch WWDITS with him
-He loves the historical references and gags
-He relates to Guillermo most of the time, being one of the voices of reason in his Chaos Coven
-”i was thinking w-” “we should finish each other off and tell no one?” “I’m game if you are.” ✨Spooky music✨
•This show is permanently engraved into their brain
•You can take the boys out of WWDITS but you can not take the WWDITS out of the boys
Hotel Transylvania:
-Paul squints at the T.V “This has to be a crime to watch.”
-Dwayne without turning away from the T.V “Dracula is going to go ape shit when he sees this “
-David eats his popcorn slowly “at least there is other monsters in this movie.”
-Marko is giggling at the Blob and Scream Cheese “I fucking love kids movies.”
-All of them hated the village scene though.
Kid vampire:
-They all watch it because Laddie wanted them too
-All you can hear for the next few days is “Kid Vampire!” in that accent
-David and Dwayne thought the bogger nose bleed drink was absolutely disgusting.
-Like to the point the both gagged.
-Paul thinks it a cute little project
-Marko likes how they say ‘blood’
-Dwayne uses the song “Vampire brush” to get Laddie to brush his teeth
Monster High:
-Marko and Paul sing the theme song semi consistently
-”Monster-monster high! monster high! monster-monster high! Freaky, sheek, and fly, monster high, where student bodies lay.”
-”We got spirits, yes we do! We got spirits, how bout you!?”
-This is another show they all watch with Laddie
-David isn't a raving fan, but he can stand it
-”Draculaura is a bit of a lazy name.” “Clawdeen wolf? Lagona blue? Cleo De Nile? Everyone has a lazy name because it's a kids show!”
-Dwayne is secretly into it and asks Laddie to watch it with him so he has an excuse
Thanks for reading <3
Yes I saw the comment you wanted me to see. Don't think I was ignoring you, I just had to find other media to talk about. (I stalk my own page like a Hyena. It's a little sad tbh lmao)

I think Laszlo lied to Nandor and is still in dad mode.
We’ve seen in the past that Laszlo does perfectly fine hypnotizing people on his own.
If anything Nandor has been known to screw it up if not make things worse when adding to others hypnosis.
I think Laszlo lied to Nandor as a learning experience and confidence booster. He showed Nandor was to talk out of situations, but also the right times to actually use hypnosis so that he will not just freely use it in the future.
Then seeing how he talks with Guillermo and how he will be helping him in the future episodes, he’s blunt with him cause he know Guillermo is smart and understands right away when he’s messed up or needs to fix things.
Over time Laszlo has gone from seeing vampires as superior and Guillermo and other humans as stupid, to at the very least seeing how smart and clever Guillermo is and giving him more respect and caring for him.
Laszlo has gone from calling Guillermo Gizmo as insult of I have no reason to know your name to using it as a nickname of affection.
All the vampires cover up and pretend not to care and see Guillermo beneath them, but it’s a facade and they do actually care and see him as family.
I think they put off turning Guillermo cause they didn’t want what was human about him to change. Possibly leave them.
We saw when Nadja turned someone, other then Laszlo, that they left and moved on to be their own vampire.
It could be similar that they worry Guillermo would leave as well.
I think they’re quite aware they’re not the most popular group and they’ve found each other and stay together.
We’ve seen what happens when they lose someone close in the group, it tears those left apart and separates them.
The whole group is smarter then they let off. We’ve seen how Guillermo can talk them into doing things, how he protects and cares for them.
Nadja is often has been shown as smarter then the men when trouble arises and solving the issues.
Laszlo is behind the scenes clever and helps others without them knowing.
Nandor isn’t the brightest but when it comes down to it he is loyal and will stand up for those he cares about.
Colin is clever in a way that the others don’t notice as they often drown out and ignore him after a time cause he enjoys causing some chaos in the group unless it is important. Then he helps out, even if still trying to feed or mess with them a little. Though we have seen he can forget not everyone knows everything he does.
The Guide now joining the group is also an outcast in her own way as having worked so much for the council she hasn’t had friends outside of the wraiths in who knows how long. She clever and keeps up to date on human technology, which most vampires haven’t. She saw how out of sorts the group has been from the starts but wants to join cause she sees how much of a family they are and has grown attached to them. May take some times but she’ll get there.

The nadja and Guillermo this episode 😭 he told her he loves her, the "our familiar " "hes mine" her losing her shit trying to find him. calling him over and over, calling for his help and him finally breaking out of his high to help her. I love relationships where one character is so "allergic" to any kind of affection from another character until something bad happens and you see them lose it.
I loved ittttt, my faves are finally showing affection for each other. Like I know I'm a hardcore Guillermo/Nandor Nadja/Laszlo shipper, but god, I have wanted Guillermo and Nadja to bond for years. They're my two favorite characters and they would get along famously if they'd just let it happen.
That said, I do think that at least consciously "he's mine" meant "he's mine to kill" lmao. Subconsciously I think she's fond of him in a way she can't quite admit or articulate, but I do think her main (acknowledged) emotion at that moment was "fuck you if you think I'll let you kill him before I get to the bottom of this." The unacknowledged stuff came later.
I think it wasn't until they had a minute to breathe and talk that she had to actually come to terms with the idea that Guillermo and Nandor could actually be destroyed together in one fell swoop, and she had to admit that she didn't want that to happen. Not to either of them.
I do think that vampires in general have this odd thing where love and possession seem intertwined. Nandor is hers, Laszlo is hers, and she belongs to them as well. And so I think some of the affection for Guillermo is similar. He is theirs. Theirs to love or theirs to punish or theirs to order around as they please. He's theirs -- and that can be something that's disparaging or affectionate or both.
I think Guillermo understands that, too. Sometimes it annoys him and sometimes it comforts him, the way they claim him. I think sometimes he just wants to be able to claim them, too, and what hurts him most is when they refuse to be his.
What's delightful, though, is that more and more and more they really are consenting to be his as well. We saw that a little bit in this episode when Nadja insisted he was hers and then, in saving her, sort of insisted that he claim her from the doctor as well. She didn't just want him to kill the doctor and she didn't just want to be saved; she wanted Guillermo to claim her as his to protect. She wanted Guillermo to take a stand for both of their sakes. And she did indeed praise him for how he did it, even though she was angry with him.
(Side note, the two of them working together and fighting together and praising each other had me feral.)
But yeah. The power dynamics in this show are fucked to hell and I love it.

Getting More Familiar
Having recently moved back to the city in search of a fresh start, you found yourself working at the local movie theater without a clear sense of direction. It was during this time that two mysterious figures, dressed in Victorian garb, approached you with an enticing job offer. The prospect of escaping your unfulfilling job and gaining a new place to live seemed too good to pass up. When Nadja and Laszo revealed they were vampires that night, it didn’t faze or shock you at all; it felt entirely ordinary. Reflecting on the encounter, you couldn’t help but wonder if you had fallen under their hypnotic influence. Strangely, this realization didn’t bother you; instead, it added an intriguing layer to your newfound life. 
As Nadja and Laszlo’s familiar, you found yourself responsible for managing the entire household, which included their two roommates. Nadja and Laszlo were low-maintenance, devoting the majority of their free time to activities that Laszlo referred to as “fucking and sucking.” You quickly learned to avoid Colin Robinson, as he never missed a chance to drain your energy–whether through incessant talking or attempting to piss you off. You found Nandor to be your favorite vampire companion, and he, too, seemed to enjoy spending time with you. He shared that his familiar, Guillermo, was currently on a break, and Nandor appeared somewhat lonely.
Nandor relished recounting his human past, regaling you with tales of the villages he relentlessly pillaged and reminiscing about his time as the nation’s Supreme Viceroy. You consistently listened to Nadnor’s stories with genuine interest, asking questions and sharing laughter at his jokes. Despite Nandor’s formidable warrior background, it appeared that the years as a vampire had softened him. What he seemed to need most was someone who would listen and genuinely care about what he had to say. Being that person came easily to you, and you couldn’t help but imagine that Guillermo had played a similar role before his departure. 
You couldn’t deny that Nandor was quite easy on the eyes, though it felt somewhere cliché to admit, considering he was a vampire. His undeniable strength became clear when he assisted you in carrying heavy bodies for disposal. Nandor had long, soft, black hair, and on some mornings, he’d ask you to brush it before he retreated into his casket. When the group ventured into the city at night, he displayed a protective streak, keeping a watchful eye on your whereabouts and warding off other vampires who showed too much interest in you. Though you harbored strong feelings for him, you refrained from admitting it, acknowledging that a 761-year-old vampire likely wouldn’t share your romantic feelings. Despite this, you cherished the moments spent in his company, savoring the connection whenever possible. 
Today unfolded like any other ordinary day, with you rising a few hours before sunset to tidy up the house before the vampires stirred. In the library, Colin sat absorbed in his newspaper, a familiar sight as you diligently dusted the room. It seemed that Colin was perpetually awake, his presence a constant in the early evening routine. Colin prattled on about something from the newspaper, but you didn’t mind, anticipating the upcoming time with Nandor. As you continued to dust, Colin’s chatter ceased, likely realizing his attempts to drain your energy in this way were futile. 
“You know, it’s interesting…” Colin Robinson began, peering out above his newspaper toward you. “Laszlo and Nadja usually have sex with their familiar by now, but they haven’t with you. Makes you wonder what’s wrong with you.” With that, he folded his newspaper with glee and left the room, his eyes glowing blue and a smirk on his face. 
He had gotten to you. The rush of energy left your body as you started to ponder if Colin’s words held truth. What was wrong with you? You never saw yourself as beautiful or sexy, considering yourself cute at best. Memories of past men you liked referring to you as “like a sister” flashed through your mind. Colin Robinson had hit on an insecurity that had lingered for most of your life–you didn’t feel desirable. You were kind and easy to be around, but the realization sank in that there was probably a reason those two vampires wouldn’t have any interest in you. Those thoughts circled in your mind for the next few hours as you continued cleaning the house, leaving you feeling intensely self-conscious by the time the sun set. You made a decision to try to avoid everyone tonight, unless they genuinely needed you. 
You kept yourself busy in the fancy room after greeting Nadja and Laszlo. Fortunately, they made their way to the room with the piano, engrossed in practicing some of their old songs. This allowed you to maintain a bit of distance and focus on your tasks for the night. After an hour, Nandor found you, greeting you with a sheepish smile while idly playing with his fingers. “Oh, there you are,” his voice rang out with his usual, endearing accent. 
You replied with a forced smile, that being the best you could muster while feeling embarrassed for letting Colin Robinson get to you. Despite your attempts to conceal your emotions, Nandor noticed immediately. 
“You’re glum,” Nandor remarked as he sat on the couch, gesturing for you to join him. When you opened your mouth to speak, nothing came out. “Don’t deny it. I can tell.” Feeling vulnerable, you decided to tell him the truth, but you looked to the ground while speaking. “Do Nadja and Laszlo sleep with all their familiars?” 
“Nadja and Laszlo would fuck anything with a pulse,” Nandor chuckled, seemingly misreading the situation completely. “Well, I guess technically they wouldn’t even need a pulse, because we’re vampires.” 
“So Colin Robinson was right. There must be something wrong with me.” You leaned your head back against the couch, tears forming in your eyes. All the past stings of rejection came rushing back in that moment. You glanced over towards Nandor, realizing he looked confused, and you felt silly for allowing yourself to get emotional in front of him. Trying to compose yourself, you sat up, wiped away the forming tears and mustered a weak smile. 
“Why do you think there is something wrong with you?” Nandor asked, genuine confusion painting his face. 
“Colin Robinson said there has to be a reason Nadja and Laszlo haven’t tried to make a move on me. I guess I’m just not desirable in that way… even though I have a pulse,” you said, trying to make a joke out of it now. You realized that Nandor probably wanted nothing to do with this conversation. 
“Fucking guy,” Nandor grumbled, his expression darkening as he glared straight ahead. When he looked back at you, his demeanor softened. “I believe you are incredibly beautiful… and you have a rocking body.”
You didn’t believe a word he was saying, knowing this was most likely just him trying to cheer you up and move on quickly. “Thanks, Nandor, but you don’t have to do that.” 
“I don’t understand. What am I doing?” Nandor questioned, a perplexed expression on his face. 
“Trying to cheer me up, but it’s silly. I”ll get over it.” 
Nandor moved towards you, placing his cold hand against your cheek and wiping the remnant of a tear from your face. “I, Nandor the Relentless, have had 37 wives and even more lovers. I believe you are one of the most beautiful, sensitive, and poetic creatures I have ever laid my eyes upon.” In this moment, Nandor spoke with authority, unlike the shy version of Nandor you usually encountered. 
Inhaling quickly in shock, you looked into Nandor’s dark brown eyes. You stayed silent, unsure if this was a trick or if it was real. 
“If you do not believe you are desirable, I’ll have to show you how desirable I think you are,” he whispered, gazing over you with his eyes. “If that is what you want.” 
You replied with a quick nod, your eyes widening, and your heart picking up speed. Your emotions flooded with longing, and you looked down towards Nandor’s lips. 
Nandor’s lips found yours, his hands firmly holding your face as he drew you in. Closing your eyes, you relished the feeling of his cold lips against yours. A gasp escaped you as his kisses trailed down your neck. Nandor guided you to lay on the couch, his body intimately pressed against yours. You sensed the touch of his cold fingers tracing across your thigh beneath your dress, eliciting a moan from you, muffled by the embrace of his kiss. He momentarily paused, his fingers delicately tracing the contours of your underwear, while looking into your eyes. 
Nandor whispered, uncertainty clouding his face, “Is this truly what you desire?” 
“Yes,” you replied with conviction, “Ever since I started working as Nadja and Laszlo’s familiar, I’ve been into you, Nandor.” 
“How should I put this… it is you who are the person who I am into… too.” His genuine smile grew, while looking down at you. 
With that, you sensed his fingers skillfully maneuvering around the fabric of your underwear, and gasped as his finger rubbed against you. You felt your hips instinctively lift at his touch and you observed him with a gaze filled with desire. As his finger slid inside of you, your eyes closed involuntarily, wanting to commit the sensation of his touch into memory. The soft sound of his chuckle reached your ears, acknowledging your reaction, while he removed your underwear tossing them onto the ground. You then experienced his icy kisses trailing up your thighs before he was between your legs. His tongue and lips provided a heavenly sensation causing you to moan and grind your hips against his mouth. 
“You taste delicious,” Nandor growled. 
Rising from the couch, he stood up, gently pulling you to your feet and enveloping you in a deep kiss. The intensity of the kiss heightened as he pressed you against one of the room’s walls. Effortlessly lifting you up, your legs encircling him, he pressed against you. Your hand descended, deftly unbuttoning his pants, causing him to moan as you led him inside of you. A momentary pause ensued as you locked eyes, desire vividly painting both of your faces. Nandor’s vampire strength proved formidable; he held you aloft, as you began a slow rotation of your hips. Closing his eyes, he emitted a low groan, surrendering to the intensity of the moment. Entwined with Nandor, a genuine feeling of beauty enveloped you, relishing in the pleasure you both felt. The feeling of being desired by Nandor dispelled any lingering doubts Colin Robinson had left in your head. Nandor thought you were sexy and he wanted you. 
🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
“Well, if I”m being honest,” Nandor candidly addressed the camera, “I asked Laszlo and Nadja to not fuck her… because I liked her… I guess I could have told her that, but I think it worked out.” A smirk played on Nandor’s lips as he glanced towards the camera, nervously playing with his fingers. Just then, Nadja’s voice echoed from the other room, causing his smirk to drop. 
“About fucking time you made a move, you big idiot.”

Book: Crimes of Passion 2
Pairing: Trystan Thorne x F!MC (Emma Rose)
Rating: Teen
Word count: 1880
Summary: Trystan and Emma solve Nadja's murder on the first night. But what's left for them as a couple now that she doesn't have a reason to stay?
Series masterlist
A/N: Fun fact: this is saved on my laptop as WITWC - What If They Were Competent? It's ridiculous how incompetent Trystan and MC were in the second book. There was no reason for it to take so long or for Sebastyan to die. An energetic rant with the wonderful @inlocusmads made me wonder... what if they solved it as soon as they could have? Would MC have stayed in Drakovia? This is the result.
This story fits @choicesjanuary2024, day 18: memory. @lilyoffandoms. I also included a prompt from @choicesflashfics, which is bolded below.
Tags: @dutifullynuttywitch @stars-are-within-me
Part 1
This is not how Emma expected to end the day.
Trystan is sitting there telling her he doesn’t appreciate her tone, like he’s her father instead of her partner, and he might want that damn throne.
“I’m finished with this conversation,” he adds, his dismissive tone setting alight the flame of her temper.
“Well I’m not.”
She follows him out of the library, Alice on her heels. She needs to get at least one last message across. “Let’s get one thing straight. This isn’t up for debate, I’m going back home this week. With or without you.”
Trystan’s steps falter, but he continues to advance towards his suite. The sharp intake of breath is her first clue that something is wrong.
The unmistakable smell of blood is another.
Emma quickly gets to Trystan’s side and places a hand on his shoulder, an unconscious show of support, even as she takes in the brutality of the scene in front of her.
“Nadja,” he whispers. She’s never heard him sound so lost before. “She’s dead.”
“I know. I’m sorry.”
“How…?”
“Trystan.” Her training takes over. “This is an active crime scene now. We need to call your parents and Ruby.”
Once they leave the throne room, Trystan takes her hand.
“Emma, wait. I’m sorry for freezing you out earlier. Today has been – and continues to be – overwhelming.”
The apology is appreciated, but they have bigger fish to fry right now. So she tells him it’s already forgotten, even though she knows they will have to revisit the topic soon – and neither of them is likely to appreciate the outcome of that conversation.
He nods, grateful, but doesn’t let go of her hand. “What you said earlier…”
She knows what he wants to ask. But she can’t let herself go down this road. Not yet. “Let’s focus on the case. We can… We can talk about it later.”
After they finish searching Lydea’s room, Emma turns to Trystan.
“One suite down, seven to go. Whose room do we search next?”
“Vasili’s is next door, but murder is hardly his type.”
“Murder is hardly anybody’s type. Until it is.”
“Be that as it may, I have a hard time imagining him as a murderer. Other than Mags, he’s my only sane sibling.”
“Then this should be over quickly.”
They smell the blood before they even make it through the door.
“No,” Trystan breathes. “It can’t be.”
But they both see it. The bloody smears on the floor. The sweater vest stained with blood.
“Vasili?”
“Right. Unless this is an attempt to frame yet another Thorne, I’d say this case is open and shut.”
Vasili looks almost resigned when they step into the throne room and turn to face him. He doesn’t attempt to run or convince them that there’s a mistake or he’s being framed. Instead, he gives Trystan a look of profound disdain.
“This is your fault, you know.” He looks at Emma. “Both of you.”
“Oh? Did we hold a gun to your head and force you to slit a woman’s throat?”
“As good as. You got him off the hook for Juliana’s murder. You got him reinstated as Crown Prince.”
“Wait. Juliana’s murder? How would you…” Trystan’s face slackens in shock. “It was you?”
“No, it was you! If Juliana hadn’t chosen you, none of this would have happened.”
The family has been mostly silent so far, most likely out of sheer shock. But at this, Sebastyan steps forward. He’s looking at Vasili like he’s a stranger. “You killed Juliana? Why?”
Trystan sucks in a breath. “The letter that Noemi read in court. Juli wrote it to you.”
“We’d made all these plans. We’d pass the Act, she’d talk you into abdicating, and then we’d finally be together.  But then… she chose you. She decided she wanted to be with you. Never mind that she knew you would make a terrible king. Never mind that we talked about how your irresponsibility would run Drakovia into the ground. The second she fell in love with you, she forgot all about her principles.”
“That’s quite enough.” Queen Viktoria’s tone leaves a trail of frost behind. She shifts her steely gaze from her stepson to her daughter. “Lydea.”
Lydea’s eyes flash with something that Emma thinks might be pain. But then she sets her jaw. “Prince Vasili Thorne, you’re under arrest for the murders of Nadja Zoric and Countess Juliana Georgescu.”
“Well. That was fun.” Emika’s voice breaks into the stunned silence.
“Emika.” Although his face is a portrait of grief, Maksim turns to Eveline. She stands stock still, her hands pressed to her mouth and her eyes brimming with tears. “Let’s go, my love. You need to rest.”
As though she’s on strings, she lets herself be led out of the room, but Emma knows Eveline won’t be doing any resting. Not tonight, not for a long time.
She looks at the remaining Thornes. The twins are talking animatedly, apparently delighted by this turn of events. Astrid is texting. Sebastyan and Marguerite sit close together, looking devastated. And Trystan… Trystan stands next to her, a storm of sorrow in his eyes.
She takes his hand, making a mental note to check on Marguerite later. “Trystan?”
“Did… did that really just happen?”
“I’m afraid so.” She takes his arm. “Why don’t we go outside?”
“Why? Is outside an alternate universe where my brother isn’t a murderer and didn’t kill two innocent women, one of whom was my late fiancée?”
“No, but outside has the benefit of being devoid of Thornes.”
He gives the tiniest of laughs. There is hardly any humor behind it, but she’ll take it. “It’s annoying how often you’re right.”
There’s something eerily beautiful about the palace gardens at night. Emma isn’t a fanciful person, but she almost expects to see faeries frolicking and witches casting spells. This is a place for magic. The harsh, unforgiving type you might find in a Brothers Grimm fairytale.
“I can’t believe this, Emma.”
“I know.”
“I always thought Vasili was the best of us. The only one I trusted more was Marguerite. But all along, he hated me.”
“Maybe not all along.”
“Long enough. And I never picked up on it.”
“That’s not your fault. He never meant for you to pick up on it.”
He looks out to the gardens, his expression haunted. “Two women are dead because of that hate.”
“No, two women are dead because Vasili is a murderer. He could have talked to you. Instead, he chose to kill two people.” She lays a hand on his arm. “Trystan, I’m sure learning that Vasili and Juliana were together was a shock, but…”
“A shock is a surprise. This falls more along the lines of full-on electrocution.”
The fact that he’s still cracking jokes gives her hope. “But don’t let that ruin the memory of what you and Juliana had. You heard him. She chose you.”
He smiles faintly. “I know, Emma. Don't worry, I’m not having an existential crisis over the fact that Juliana had a life before me.”
“Good.”
She wraps an arm around his waist and tugs him into a hug. Trystan sighs, embracing her in return. “Emma Rose, voluntarily hugging? I’m all aflutter.”
“I hug you all the time.”
“It doesn’t count when I start it.”
“Trystan?”
“Hmm?”
“Be quiet.”
He laughs and holds her closer. “How is it that you make everything better?”
“I’m irresistible?”
“Yes.” He’s no longer laughing. “You are.”
They don’t bring up their earlier fight. They don’t talk about the strong possibility that he will stay in Drakovia, or about her proclamation that she will go back either way. By tacit agreement, they focus on getting through the present moment.
Eventually, however, they have to face the future.
Early the next morning, Emma opens her bedroom door to find Trystan standing outside, a travel mug in his hand.
“I brought you coffee.”
She takes it, bracing herself for what she knows is coming. “Thanks.”
“Can we go for a walk?”
“Sure.”
They walk in silence for several minutes. The palace gardens are as beautiful as they were night before, although far less eerie. She finds herself missing the almost otherworldly beauty. It suited her current mood much better than the Disney-esque quality of daylight.
“I can’t leave,” he says finally. Although it’s not a surprise, Emma’s heart still squeezes in pain. “What Vasili said…”
“Nadja’s murder wasn’t your fault. Neither was Juliana’s.”
“Maybe not, but… he was right about me, Emma. What he and Juliana talked about… I would have made a terrible king. I spent the first twenty-two years of my life dumping my responsibilities on everybody around me. Lydea, Vasili… even Bas, and he was only a teenager when I was exiled.”
“You were barely more than a kid.”
“I’m not a kid anymore. I abandoned my responsibilities to Drakovia once before. To do so again would mean…”
“What?”
He shakes his head. “I have to stay.”
“I understand.” And she does. Even as part of her hurts so badly she’s vaguely surprised she’s still standing, she smiles at him. “You’ll make an amazing leader.”
Trystan takes an unsteady breath. “Would you… Would you consider staying?”
“I can’t.” She looks down at her mug, at her boots, at the grass beneath them. Anything to avoid looking at him. “My life is in New York.”
“You could have a life here.” He cups her jaw. “I promise to make it as good as I possibly can.”
“Trystan, you can’t be my whole entire life. What would I even do here?”
“You could open your own agency! You saved a beloved Drakovian princess from a serial killer and put a prince away for two murders. Clients would be clamoring for your services.” His eyes soften. “And we could be together, you and me.”
“Yeah, like your dad and Eveline are together. That would never be enough for me.”
“Emma, I would never…”
“Trystan. What are the odds that your parents – or Drakovia in general – would accept an American private detective as your partner?” When his face falls, she nods. “That’s what I thought.”
She isn’t sure who moves first, but before she knows it, they’re tangled together. The kiss is so desperate she doesn’t know how they’ll break apart, not that she particularly cares. Trystan’s arms hold her tightly enough that she would worry about bruises if she had the bandwidth to think about anything at all, and she sinks her fingers into his hair, trying to commit the feel of it to memory.
After today, that’s all they’ll ever be. A memory.
He insists on taking her to the airport. Luke and Ruby are staying a few more days, but she made an excuse about needing to help out Uncle Tommy at the bar. The longer she stays with Trystan, the harder it will be to leave him behind.
He lingers on the goodbye hug. Emma clings to him, every bit as reluctant to part as he obviously is. But eventually, she breaks the hug and steps back.
“Well, Your Highness. It’s been an experience.”
Trystan smiles back. She wonders if her own smile looks as forced. “Detective. That it has.”
She searches through her carry-on for her boarding pass, steps into the boarding gate.
She doesn’t look back.

What if Guillermo can live forever (-being a vampire)
okay so please hear me out here, this has been in my head since we found out Guillermo can’t really truly be a vampire (due to his van helsing genes). I’ve heard theories that Guillermo could be some type of energy vampire but personally it just doesn’t sit right with me, so here is my alternative.
First of all, do you remember the witches who used semen spells to stay young forever? What if Guillermo, who already has a link with those witches and continues to keep in contact with them regularly and most likely at this point has at-least a rudimentary understanding of how the potions are made, ends up as a witch/wizard?
Guillermo takes/is given the recipe for the immortality potion by the witches, uses it to stay alive forever and be with Nandor and the other vampires, and to finally be a part of the world he’s always loved (though not in the way he’s truly wanted, but I feel he would come to terms with that and end up enjoying not having to kill people to stay alive).
And! Though this bit is NSFW (but what part of that show isn’t), Guillermo could either cut ties with the witches or become friends with them (get Nadja some more female/femme friends too so she can watch Mamma Mia with!) and get the semen for himself from Nandor. Be pretty easy if those two end up together (THEY BETTER) and become a thing, because as much as I love to head cannon characters as asexual, those two are not ace. So honestly it’s a win win WIN situation!
Now this could be totally wrong but it’s been stuck with me for months and I thought I’d atleast share it with some people! Let me know if this makes any sense at all, and if you have any questions on the logistics of how this would work that I did not explain! <333

Step by step guide to redeeming your girlfriends
Plot, basically: Canon! Chloenette meets Reverse! Chloenette. Dedicated to @generalluxun ! Thank you for the motivation, I will now make them go through Scooby Doo levels of chasing and mystery solving (coughs identity reveal coughs)
Chapter One: Is it kidnapping if I thought we were dating?
The sky has visibly darkened during lunchtime. It wasn't the normal rainy sky though. People were scrambling to get inside or find cover as it was most likely an akuma attack. It was strange, however, that the signal never went off nor were there any explosions nearby. There wasn't even a ridiculously dressed villain with their monologue about getting revenge and obtaining the miraculous.
It was quiet. Suspiciously too quiet.
A bolt of lightning flashed on the darkened sky, the dark purple color leaving a web like structure in its path. Okay, that definitely was not normal.
Chloe was sure it was another Akuma and judging from the last one Ladybug and Chat Noir had to face, they were getting ridiculously more strong as time passes. Which doesn't worry her. After all, Ladybug never trusted her completely to wield another miraculous again so why give a damn about her anymore.
The world shook and she unconsciously switched on her TV to the news.
Nadja was reporting on the strange phenomenon currently happening while the purple lightning continued to flash and leave even more intricate patterns.
Chloe pursed her lips in thought. Ladybug had already enlisted a lot of new (temporary) heros since they faced off against Shadow Moth. She won't be outnumbered or lacking in minions if ever.
She sighed, frustration starting to bubble inside her, "Everything would be easier if she would just let me be Queen Bee!"
"You've got a point," a voice said from behind, "but Queen Bee is rather distracting during battles, 'no?"
Before she could scream at the sudden intrusion of a very familiar looking person, she was swept off her bed and was falling down from her balcony, a set of familiar and ridiculously strong arms wrapped around her securely.
Shit.
She was tapping her foot impatiently, the sound echoing against the room they were in. Claw was leaning by the wall, his knowing glance darting from her to the other occupant of the room who was very much unconscious.
"You scared the shit out of her. You have such a lame type in women," he casually tilted his head, narrowly avoiding a metal ball to his face. Rolling his eyes, he stretched out his muscles earning a disgusted sound from his partner and a laugh from him.
"Careful, your softness for her is showing," she scoffed, her arms crossed as she looked at the blonde. "I am not soft, you fucking piece of vomit."
"I told you, my hair is not that damn vomiting emoji! The shade is different!"
"Whatever," she walked to the unconscious blonde and with a soft tug, managed to lift her head up to a more comfortable position. She looked peaceful, her mouth slightly parted as she let out soft snores.
Even in a different universe, the sight of her still made her go speechless.
Which got her confused. This universe's Chloé looks very similar to her Chloé, just with more yellow than soft pink and white, so why,
"Why is she taking so damn long?" She hissed as Claw shrugged, who was looking down at his manicure and let out a 'tsk'. He needed to get an appointment, soon.
"Maybe because you're not together in this universe," he supplied after a moment, "maybe you're in love with me instead."
"That's one of the worst things you've ever said to me and I want to strangle you right now."
Claw shivered, "Agreed. Agree to never speak about that again."
A figure sighed as she shut her bug phone. Gazing at a familiar tower, she idly wonders if she should wait for them to arrive or continue searching for the person she needs. Deciding to do the latter, she jumps off the roof into the night sky.
Ladybug almost crashed into the hotel room, Chat Noir not far behind. After getting a call from a very distraught mayor and with the sky turning an unusual purple, she had a sinking feeling it was another powered up Akuma. This Akuma hasn't showed their face yet, but Chloé's disappearance was alarming.
"She's not here," she whispered after quickly darting inside the suite. Chat Noir voiced his affirmative and gave her a worried look, "The Akuma must have already taken her but..." Chat frowned, "Unless it had a personal vendetta against Chloé, it's unusual of them to stay hidden."
Ladybug sighed. This was going to be a long day.
Notes: It's divided because the author hasn't decided if this should be a short, fluffy funny fic or dive into possible 'getting therapy from yourself of a different multiverse because it's like talking to one of the voices in your head'. Enjoy!

Hey Siri, Can Vampires Get Cucked?
"So it didn't go as well as I had hoped it would," you tell the camera thinking about the fact that Oscar ran away from you a week ago, "I was really hoping that I would be able to get Oscar to understand but now I'm realizing that it's possible that hypnosis was probably a better option and that knocking him out and kidnapping him was aggressive."
"The one good thing about the whole situation is that Nandor has finally started to warm up to me," you say, "he has actually spoken to me everyday. Actually I wouldn't say warming up to me is the correct term. I honestly have no idea what changed after Oscar left the other day." When you finish up your interview with the crew you return to your bedroom to do some reading.
Down stairs though Nadja is sat in front of the camera. She looks exasperated and when she speaks its present in her voice as well.
"I have been trying to get Nandor to grow some balls and ask her out but I have yet to have any success," she tells the camera, "I have watched Nandor follow her around for the last two weeks like a lost little puppy. I am sick of it."
"So I have devised a plan to get him to admit that he wants her," she says deviously, "Both of them have yet to truly talk and this will fix that. Of course Laszlo has a different approach."
"My idea is to shove them both in a room until something is either sucked, fucked, or cucked." Laszlo says as he sits down next to his wife.
"Cucked?" Nadja asks, "Why would this end up in cuck?"
"I mean you never know what could happen in there." Laszlo says looking suggestively into the camera while Nadja makes a face behind him.
"Well, we decided to mix our ideas together," Nadja says, moving the conversation forward, "We will lock them in a room together until Nandor confesses."
"Yes, and if it results in someone getting sucked, fucked, or cuck-" Laszlo starts to say until Nadja cuts him off.
"Laszlo!" Nadja yells at her husband, "This is about Nandor and his feelings. Not about you."
"Yes, I'm sorry my love," Laszlo apologizes to her but when they go to leave he turns back to the camera when Nadja is out of earshot and says, "If it results in anything sexual I will be a most willing participant."
_________________________________________
A little while later while you are reading you hear your name being called by Nadja.
"Nadja?" you call out.
"In here!" she yells. When you find her she is in Nandor's bedroom.
"Hey, what's up?" you ask her, " and why are we in Nandor's room?"
"One second sweetie," she says to you, "I will be right back."
You sit down on the chair in front of Nandor's coffin and for about ten minutes you wait until you hear someone in the hall outside the door. The door is quickly opened and Nandor is shoved in. As fast as the door opens its closed the next second and when Nandor rushes to open the door it doesn't budge.
"Laszlo!" he yells, "Open this door right now!"
When he doesn't get a response he starts yelling for Guillermo. You can hear nothing through the door though.
"Nandor?" you ask, "What's going on?"
Nandor turns around to look at you and immediately starts banging on the door again yelling for Laszlo to let him out.
"Just get it over with then I will let you out!" Laszlo yells through the door.
Nandor knew exactly what he was talking about. A few days ago Nandor had confided in Laszlo about how he found you beautiful and how badly he wanted you. In all honesty it reminded Laszlo of himself falling in love with Nadja. That's why he had forced this confrontation.
You on the other hand had no idea about what any of this meant. While you definitely didn't mind being trapped in Nandor's room with him you were confused. A few days ago Nadja had confronted you about what you felt towards Nandor and in all honesty since he started talking to you, you have developed a bit of a crush on him.
Nadja had pressed and pressed until you had admitted it to her and you made her swear not to tell anyone, which, to your knowledge she had kept. What you and Nandor don't know is that they had been conspiring to get their friends together.
"So, uh what was that all about?" you ask Nandor.
"You know Laszlo, he is my best friend but he is not the smartest." he says and laughs awkwardly.
"Nandor, what did he mean to get it over with?" you ask, you are honestly a bit worried that Nadja had told Laszlo and in turn he had told Nandor that you like him.
"Nothing," Nandor says, "He meant absolutely nothing."
"Nandor, whatever it is you can tell me." you tell him, Nandor turns from the door and faces you.
"I- its nothing." he tells you.
"Well it's obviously something or else we wouldn't be locked in here." you tell him.
"It's nothing," Nandor insists, "stop doing that."
"Stop doing what?" you ask him.
"Looking at me like that," he says frustratedly, "I can't deal with it."
"Okay, I am very lost." you tell him, "How am I looking at you?"
"You- nevermind," Nandor says, returning to banging on the door.
"Nandor!" you yell at him and when he doesn't turn to face you, you march forward and turn him around to face you, "Tell me."
You both stand still, this is the closest to him you've been since the first time you met. He looks down at you and a split second later he is kissing you. It surprises you for a second but once you get into it you are kissing him back, the kiss is sweet and short. When you both finally break apart you can't help but smile.
"Is that it?" you ask him.
"What?" Nandor asks, still a bit out of it.
"You just wanted to kiss me?" you ask, "That's it?"
"Well I wouldn't say I just wanted to kiss you but yes." Nandor says looking down at you.
"Do you wanna do it again?" you ask him and before you know it you are kissing again, this time though more passionately than before. His hands find your waist and you bring one of your hands up to his face. You both break away for a moment then resume your activities. One of Nandor's hands is making their way up the back of your shirt.
"Do you wanna-" You start to ask Nandor.
"Yes," He tells you.
"You don't even know what I was going to say?" you tell him smiling.
"Whatever it is. I want to do it." he tells you.
"Really?" you ask him, "Just like that?"
"Just like what?" he asks you confused.
"Nevermind, I was just gonna ask if-" You start to say but are interrupted by Laszlo.
"Nadja is starting to get what the humans refer to as 'hangry'," Laszlo says through the door, "We must leave now or she will become violent."
"Okay, Laszlo we will be right there." Nandor says, "I shall talk with you later, my sunshine."
_________________________________________
You are currently sitting down in front of the camera and honestly you have no idea what to say. Oscar hasn't returned any of your texts or calls and the whole situation with Nandor you still haven't talked about with him yet.
"The last week has been pretty crazy," you finally started, "I mean I don't even honestly know where to start but I'm starting to get the hang of the vampire thing. I hypnotized for the first time yesterday night, some security guard stumbled across us while we fed."
After you and Nandor had been freed from his room you had both been unable to speak with each other about what happened. As soon as you had left Nadja stole you to make sure you looked fabulous for your first official hunt. For the last two weeks Guillermo had brought you humans to feed on and now you were actually going to attempt to get one for yourself.
"We decided to go out by the bars and get any drunks who we stumbled upon," you tell the camera, "I wasn't told though that if you drink the blood of someone who is intoxicated that you also feel the effects. When I was still alive I was notorious at being a lightweight. Unfortunately, that carried over to my vampire life. If I was still able to be bruised my legs would definitely be covered in them."
You could honestly barely remember the night prior after you had all drank two humans. The security guard had happened early enough where you could remember it but a lot is missing.
Nadja and Laszlo had yet to leave their room and you haven't seen Nandor either. You were anxious that you may have come on too strong but you also knew that he did feel the same way. So it just honestly confused you. When you are dismissed by the crew you head to your bedroom.
Down the hall Nandor had tried on most of his clothes and still had not found the perfect outfit. Guillermo had been helping him try on and rate different outfits but after Nandor had tried on the same shirt and 3 slightly different pairs of pants he resigned himself to waiting till his master was ready.
"I honestly have no idea what is going on with him." Guillermo whispers into the camera.
"Ta-Da!" Nador says and Guillermo turns to look at him, "What do you think?"
"Wonderful Master," Guillermo says as Nandor spins to give him a 360° of the outfit, Guillermo turns to face the camera again and with a straight face says, "that is the very first outfit he tried on."
_________________________________________
You, apparently in your drunkness, had repeatedly texted Oscar apologizing over and over. It definitely wasn't the most embarrassing thing you have ever done while intoxicated, but it is definitely up there. For a while you lay on your bed staring up at the ceiling until you hear a knock at your door.
Nandor is standing there when you open the door with a bouquet of flowers. If you weren't confused before you are definitely confused now.
"What is this for?" you ask him and take the flowers from his hands.
"Well I read that bringing flowers to a potential mate is a good gift so I made Guillermo get you some," he tells you, "I hope you like them."
"Oh, Nandor, this is very sweet," you tell him, "Thank you."
"Oh it's nothing," he tells you, "I hope you like them."
"You asked me that already." you tell him smiling.
"Oh, well, bye." Nandor says quickly and leaves. You watch him walk down the hall and look back at the crew, confused, who is filming from the other way.
_________________________________________
"I have put a plan into motion," Nandor says to the camera, "mostly to get Laszlo off my back about my 'feelings' but I believe I have finally found the vampire I want to spend my life with."
You have been getting gifts from Nandor everyday for the past two weeks. At first it started off with simple gifts that anyone could find at a store but then it became more outrageous.
Three days ago he presented you with a gorgeous necklace and the next day he gave you a pair of earrings. Both days you had told him that you didn't need gifts from him but he had insisted.
In all honesty it was uncomfortable to accept the gifts he gave you, mostly because you had no way of getting him anything of the same standard. You loved that he apparently wanted to buy you presents but at some point it had to stop.
Today, as you expected, was no different. Except this time he brought you a bigger box than you had ever gotten before. It was about the same size as a small trunk and when you opened it you found a gorgeous dress, not too dissimilar from one of Nadjas.
"What is this?" you ask him while picking up the dress gently.
"I bought you a dress," he tells you, "I had Guillermo set it all up. He made sure the dress was the right size."
"Nandor, I don't know what to say," you tell him, "Thank you but I don't think I can expect this."
"Why not?" he asks you, "Do you not like the color?"
"No it's gorgeous but I-," you stop and think, "Nandor I really love all the gifts but you can't keep spending money on me."
"Why not?" Nandor asks and he looks kind of offended.
"Because you can't keep spending money on me." you tell him, "Honestly I really do love the gifts but you don't have to do that to impress me."
"I just like giving you things," he says, "seeing you happy makes me happy."
"If you want me to be happy then why don't we spend more time together?" you ask him.
"What would we do?" Nador asks you.
"Whatever we want. We could watch a movie or we could go read or something else. I don't know, whatever you want to do." you tell him.
"Can I kiss you?" he asks and you smile.
"If you want to," you tell him and he goes for it.
His hands find your face right away and you sink even deeper into the kiss. Your hand finds its way into his hair. When you both pull away you realize that you are still standing in your doorway.
"Do you want to come in?" you ask him.
"Yes." Nandor says simply.
When you drag him in the room you slam the door in the faces of the camera crew. As soon as he's in your room you resume kissing again.
This time though it's different, you both know what's coming. His hands start at your waist but slowly make their way up and under your shirt.
"Do you want me to take it off?" you ask him and instead of answering you he just rips it off. As soon as your bra is on full display he gets distracted by kissing your newly accessible skin.
"Nandor?" you ask him, "Do you want me?"
"More than anything, my sunshine." he answers you and the way he looks at you makes you want to melt.
You return to kissing each other and he picks you up to bring you over to your bed. When he sets you down you realize how much more clothing he is wearing compared to you.
"You are wearing too many clothes," you tell him and watch as he takes off the intricate top. When he is done you pull him down on the bed and kiss him again. Nandor goes straight to your bra hooks and takes it off. He pulls away to pay attention to your breasts.
"You are beautiful," he tells you and then kisses down your neck and chest til he gets to your tits. He pushes you down against your bed and starts sucking on your nipple.
"You are really good at this," you tell him and when he switches to the other side, "fuck."
"I have been a vampire since long before this country was found," he tells you.
"So what you are saying is that you have been around the block?" you tease him.
"The block?" he asks you, "I have flown around it."
"It means- you know what nevermind," you tell him, "more important things at hand than this."
You grab the back of his head and bring him down to kiss you. One of his hands starts playing with the hem of your pants while the other cups your left tit. You get the hint and lift yourself up to take off your pants, but before you can move to get them off Nandor does. He takes not just your jeans off but your underwear as well.
Then he dives in and licks along your folds. The shock of him on you has you pulling away until he wraps his arms around your legs and pulls you impossibly closer. Your hands find his hair and you wrap your fingers in it and when you look down at Nandor he starts to suck on your clit.
"fuck," you moan, "don't stop."
Nandor looks at you with his eyes and removes one of his arms from your legs. You suddenly feel two of Nandor's fingers pressing into you. You throw your head back against the bed and moan loudly. When he speeds up his actions you know it's only a matter of time until you come.
"fuck, Nan-nandor, I'm gonna-," you tell him until you feel a third finger inside you and you know it's over.
A wave of spasms run over you and you feel yourself grow wetter than before. Nandor continues to ravish you through your orgasm which makes it really hard to stop a second one from building.
"Nandor," you beg, "fuck me please."
He removes himself from you for a second and says "One more." then he continues to work you towards your second orgasm. This one comes quicker than the one before but it is just as intense. Nandor removes his fingers from you and lips them clean.
When he kisses you you can taste yourself on his tongue. You start trying to pull off his pants and when he stands up off the bed to do so you are greeted with his erect dick.
Around the house you had of course heard all about how he had a massive penis but it still surprised you to know that he was even bigger than you thought. You move to lick the pre-cum of the tip but when you do he moves away.
"Later," he tells you, "I want to fuck you first." He drags your hips to the edge of your bed and looks at you.
You nod and pull him in to kiss you. When your lips meet he starts into you. While he pushes into you the reason he wanted to have you ready becomes obvious, he is massive. Once he is fully seated inside of you he waits a moment. When he pulls away from your lips and starts moving. Slowly.
For a bit you appreciate that he is trying to make sure that you are comfortable but you want him to move.
"Nandor, faster," you tell him, "please."
"Whatever you want my sunshine." he tells you and starts to move faster than before.
You can't help but let out a moan especially when he starts to go even faster. When let out an especially loud one he groans. You start to feel an orgasm approach when Nandors fingers find your clit. He continues to pound into you and move his fingers over the sensitive bundle of nerves.
"Nandor!" you yell when you hit your breaking point and dig your nails into his biceps.
Nandors thirsts become more and more sloppy and you know he is close. You can feel yourself pulsing around him and soon enough he spills into you. When he is done he collapses atop you.
You both lay like this for a minute until you feel Nandor go to move out of you. When he does you feel the mess gather between your legs. He goes to grab a tissue from your nightstand and cleans you up.
After he throws it away he picks you up and moves you to lay on the bed properly. It surprises you for a second but let him do it. He moves to the other side of the bed and joins you in laying down.
His arm snakes around you and pulls you closer to him. You melt into him and feel yourself start to drift off.

This post isn't about Nadja, I just wanted to share this pic because it makes me happy and I love my cat so much. 😻😍
So recently (within the last three months) I realized that I'd been struggling with my art for so long because I was trying to be something I'm not. It turns out I never was and never will be a digital artist. Through therapy I discovered that it's just too much for my perfectionism and ADHD, that infinite layers and undo-s (undoes? undies??) paralyze me. I can erase forever without worrying about ruining paper or wasting supplies, but without any boundaries nothing was ever finished. Hell, most things were hardly started! It could always be "more perfect." I was trying to change my style to be more like what I see online, but it wasn't working.
It wasn't really until I'd finished the piece for my sister that I realized that, even though I'd sobbed my eyes out several times while working on it, there was something there still, something I'd been missing with digital art. When I paint with watercolors, there's something else there that's spontaneous, something I can't control, and that was leading to some really cool results! When I painted the wolf for my brother in law, I was actually excited to see what the paint would do. Playing around gave me an awesome effect in the background that I would have overworked to death had it been digital.
All that is to say, I've accepted that I'm analog. Or, maybe a bit of a hybrid in a way since I use my iPad for sketching and then transfer that to paper. Definitely not anywhere near fully digital though. (That's not to say I'm not good at certain KINDS of digital art [my catalog of Sims creations speaks to that!] but yeah definitely way more analog.)
My brain reset...
Edit: WAIT THERE WAS MORE!
Now that I'm getting back to being more comfortable creating art again, I'm going to be pushing myself to do more of the art I know is still inside me somewhere. Ghost Lady is the first attempt at trying to stop being so damned afraid of letting my darker side come out. I'm so annoyed that I'm so scared (OF WHAT?! being mocked??) to be who I am and let that show.
Good thing I'm in therapy.

for a show that claims to be diverse wwdits has gotten really fucking weird about poc and women in the last few seasons ngl. theres famously the whole marwa debacle, which most people seem to have forgotten, including the show itself, where nandor essentially trapped marwa, a woman of color, into the body and consciousness of some white guy AFTER spending a whole season shaping her into his "ideal woman" without her consent, wiping her free will, and turning her into a fucking puppet, and then we all moved on and forgot about that??? and then theres the fact that the one black character on the show is treated as simply a plot device and also an idiot before being killed at the end of the season and then brought back and shunted into a basement. and then theres the fact that guillermo, the one poc living in the house, has been working for no wages the entirety of the show while striving to gain the status of vampire to be on equal footing with the others, finally gained this status before realizing he didn't actually want it and returning to his former state to continue working for no wages. the djinn, a brown man, has been stuck in a lamp being carried around by nandor for the last seasons, and his ONLY role has been to grant nandor's wishes. they literally brought him back for 30 seconds in the finale to remind us that hes still in the fucking lamp. theres the fact that even though all the vampires are queer, nadja is the only one who hasnt had gay sex in the time we've known her. like... all this feels iffy at best

Age Regressor Nadja Of Antipaxos Moodboard + Headcannons
Tumblr media
Regresses to such a wide range of 0-10. She didn’t have a very happy upbringing so it makes sense for her.
Although she does find being a baby so so comforting.
Her caregiver is Laszlo!! He absolutely adores her and Nadja looks at him like he hung the moon.
She does not care for modern toys, she finds them obnoxious. She absolutely adores calico critters though. She has the mansion and has the most dramatic story with them. Laszlo insists that he is present when she plays with them because it’s like watching a Television show.
Nadja has a large collection of vintage toys! Her absolute favorites are her rattles, she has a chest jam packed with them.
She has tons of Dollies to but she mostly just plays with Nadja Doll they’re very close! They still match outfits even when Nadja is small it’s Nadja’s favorite part of her day!
Most of her gear is vintage, all except her adult pacifiers. When Guillermo saw she was still using an ancient looking baby pacifier he immediately bought her first ever adult pacifier.
She immediately started on her adult pacifier collection and she has just about every kind there is!!
She adores story time with her Laszlo!! He reads to her just about every night.
Nadja is spoiled rotten, because she is so used to getting anything she wants from Laszlo. If Nadja wants something all she has to say is “please, papa” with the puppy dog eyes and Laszlo will do everything in his power to get it.
Laszlo has nicknames galore for her! He hardly ever calls her by her name.
She will only eat out of her bottle! Eating the typical way is too scary for her..
Biggest finger painter ever!! She loves making paintings for the people she loves. (Mostly Laszlo)

Y’know, I think one of the most refreshing things for me in WWDITS s4 has been the categorical refusal to turn Nadja into a mommy. It would have been so, so easy to do it and I think most shows would’ve.
I mean, how many times have we seen it, both IRL and on tv? A baby shows up, someone needs to take care of it, the only woman around goes into mommy mode because ~that’s just what women do~ and it’s what they’re expected to do. I was fully expecting Laszlo to adopt Baby Colin and for Nadja to end up coparenting with him. She’s his wife, after all.
But then that absolutely did not happen. If anything, I think I’d go so far as to say that she’s the least maternal and/or paternal person in the building. It’s not that she hates children or anything; she’s just physically incapable of telling one apart from a raccoon. Which is also nice. Some writers are so bad at writing women with complex desires that any woman who doesn’t want to be a mother is automatically turned into some unfair “baby-hating harpy” stereotype.
Laszlo has taken this child under his wing and loves him, even if he’s not always the best father. Guillermo also loves Colin, and though he’s not his father, he’s probably the most paternal (and probably also maternal) out of any of the people there. (And I feel like they’re also breaking down stereotypes about what it means to be paternal vs. maternal but that’s a whole separate essay.) Nandor is at least willing to hang out with the boy and has displayed highly paternal instincts in previous episodes.  But literally Nadja’s only interest in Baby Colin is how she can make money off of him, and that’s so valid. lmao
It’s especially nice because Nadja clearly does value family. It seems to be one of her primary drives, in fact. She brings up her family more than any other character, even though they’ve all been dead for hundreds of years, she’s more than willing to defend her (again, deceased) family’s honor, and it’s what finally started to break down barriers between her and Guillermo. Nadja very much values family. She just does not want to be a mother.
She does not want Guillermo to see her as a mother figure. She wants no part in parenting Baby Colin. She displays the maternal instincts of your average old boot. Nadja is not a mommy. 
And the show never once judges her for that.
(I mean, Guillermo might, but he has his own issues. lmao)
There has never been an episode where her not caring for Colin has upset him. There has never been an episode where he’s been harmed because she’s not providing him with affection. The narrative has never once punished her for her total disinterest in the care and raising of the creature that crawled out of the body of their dead friend. There has never been any expectation that she’d take care of Colin.
The closest we’ve gotten to that was probably Guillermo complaining that none of the vampires know anything about Colin and that it’s fallen solely on him, the “nanny”, to care for him. But that seemed like an equal indictment of all the vampires and seemed kind of wrapped up in Guillermo’s own abandonment issues.
What I’m getting at here is that Nadja has never been expected to put in more work with Colin because of her gender or because her husband was the person who decided to adopt the Colin child. She’s never been expected to parent him, she’s never been expected to be maternal towards him, she’s never been expected to shift around her life plans for him. She’s just happily embezzling from her own nightclub like the insane vampiric boss she is.
And boyyyyy I love that for her. It’s so rare and so refreshing and I love this show so much.
