Started watching What We Do in the Shadows and these are my initial thoughts/favourite parts.
Theme song slaps.
They're literally just a bunch of cats.
Pretty sure I'm related to an Energy vampire. May in fact be half one. Soz.
Guillermo as a concept is cracking me up cause he's just this little guy that wants to be involved in cool vampire stuff stuff but the vampires he's serving are a bunch of dysfunctional idiots that seem to be spending eternity devising ingenious ways of killing time.
Adding to that, I love the fact that he saw Antonio Banderas Interview as a kid and instantly though "If he can do it, so can I." and dedicated his life not to becoming an actor, but a vampire. Like....girl, same. lol
I'm just now realising the Collin Robinson is likely the one paying the rent.
Nandor is strait just a gothy himbo.
It's weird to recognise someone by how they move their hands but "Hi, Doug Jones."
The glitter portrait is genuinely really sweet and the proceeding conversation about how long Guillermo has been there is a really clever way o0f showing how time just doesn't matter to these creatures. They don't have to think about it. They don't have to worry about it. Basically I'm concluding that they're all suffering from a very severe case of executive dysfunction and I vibe with that.
Probably the same reason Nandor seems to view Guillermo as some kind of pet rabbit.

Yo, Beg My Forgiveness sounds awesome. What's that about?
Thank you! It's a little bit of blasphemy from an ex-Catholic.
So, I like my vampire stories. I like how far they go back into various myths and legends and folklores, I like the different takes on them, I like it all.
Beg My Forgiveness is the idea that the first vampire is Lazarus, after the miracle of Jesus raising him from the dead didn't quiiiite work.
Because sure, God is infallible and all-powerful etc etc... but Jesus was still just a man, and humans are not infallible, no matter how much divine power they have.
Did you know that with the story of Lazarus, Jesus specifically waited until he knew Lazarus was dead, specifically waiting until the traditional period of waiting with the body (iirc it was 3 days) was over and the body was prepared, before he even started the return journey back? He deliberately waited until there would be absolutely no doubt at all that Lazarus had died, before he went to go and bring him back. This man was supposedly his friend.
What would that do to someone? To know that your friend had let you die just to... what? To prove himself, when he's already done that a thousand times over? How much pain was Lazarus in when he died?
How much pain would he be in, knowing that his death was down to one person's choice?
TL;DR: it's mostly just me finding new ways to spite my Catholic upbringing. Or work through the religious trauma.

"astarion is a traumatized abuse victim who deserves kindness" and "astarion is a mean rat bastard man who would rip out your throat for a corn chip if he felt like it" are two statements that can and should coexist

if I had a nickel for every time seth green played the nice boyfriend of the bookish, nerdy girl who fights supernatural beings with her group of friends (called the scooby gang) led by her pretty but badass best friend (played by sarah michelle gellar) before she eventually came out as a lesbian, I'd have two nickels.
