Just saw a post saying a castle was “infested with vampires” and as a biologist am disgusted. That’s their natural habitat. They live there

Fun Vampire Fact; the reason that Vampires traditionally cannot see their reflections in a mirror is because mirrors used to be backed with a reflective layer of silver — which, as the metal of purity, would not ‘interact’ with Vampires, who are the Devil’s work.

However, modern mirrors have used aluminum as their reflective backing for many years now — and aluminum is not a ‘picky’ metal at all. So Vampires are able to see their reflections in modern mirrors.

Thought you guys might want to see my local wwdits flavor. They were in his yard, they're pretty big wood cutouts! I'm not the only one in this city with a passion for goody vampires

“their relationship is too deep to be sexual” what’s deeper than dick in hole. please tell me

Okay yeah I'm still mad. Why is gay love not "big enough" for you. Why is there some sort of homosexual connection that is "bigger" than being in a romantic relationship together. Why is this always when two people aren't straight. A romantic relationship is a huge and big deal and pretending there's something deeper of a connection out there is very strange to me because I've never seen it regarding two adults who are not related. I understand this requires thought about how and where a relationship is classified but this sort of reasoning always confuses the hell out of me. If I had what they had and we had compatible attraction/sexualities I would at least shoot my shot. Does this type of "bigger than" romantic attraction happen in the real world with two non related people?

You know, when they pulled the "Guillermo realizing he doesn't ACTUALLY want to be a vampire" thing at the end of last season, I started to wonder whether the writers even understood their own characters.

This whole "that's his boss" thing, as if it hasn't been proven time and time again that Nandor lives because Guillermo allows him to, as if they haven't removed all motivation for Guillermo to stay right where he is other than his genuine love of his vampires (and Nandor in particular) so there's no power Nandor could possibly hold over him anymore, as if Nandor hasn't been shown to be so desperate for Guillermo's approval that he'll fly to fucking outer space and not the other way around...

I mean, this just solidifies what I already suspected. They do not understand their characters on a fundamental level.

Just thinking if either Nandor or Guillermo would have been a woman, there would have been ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that the writers would have tried to to put them together at the first opportunity, even if they would go through a breakup during the series. Because it's easy. Because is "normal". Because nobody would have a damn thing to say about it.

But they are two men. Whoops!

Let's put the "friendship bigger than sexual love" card on the table because they are pure and above the mortal comprehension of love. It's true love, don't you see? No need to kiss in the fucking and sucking everyone show! That would be too much! That's his boss!

Cowards.

They lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship.

"It's problematic for guillermo to hook up with his boss"

You turned a woman of color into a white man.

We need to talk about queer representation in What We Do In The Shadows

I'm just going to say it: for a show that claims to have great queer representation I sure haven't seen a gay couple in five seasons.

(The closest they've come is with Freddy and we all saw how that turned out)

Okay, I've been thinking about this for a while and I honestly don't love the discourse but fuck it. We need to talk about queer love and queer representation on wwdits and how it's not great.

Let me begin by saying that I love this show, I do, it's my favorite and I adore it and I am not going to stop watching it. But the internet holding it it as the be all, end all of queer representation needs to stop. We need to take off our heartshapped glasses for a second and think critically.

Now I'm not saying it's homophobic because it's clearly not, but a beacon of queer representation and love it is not.

Yes, it has its moments and when they come they are incredible (Guillermo's coming out episode my beloved). But if we stop and think about it for a second it becomes clear that same sex love in the show it's not treated with the same respect that straight love gets. And it's time to aknowledge that as a fandom.

It's 2023 and we don't need to be living off scraps or jokes made at our expense anymore. The times of Supernatural or Sherlock are done. But in wwdits we are, a lot of the time, the butt of the joke and not always in a good way. I'm begging you to think for a second about why the jokes are supposed to be funny, think of Laszlo and Nandor, or Laszlo and the Baron, or Nandor's guy wives... the joke IS that it's gay, there's nothing else.

And you know what? That could be FINE or it would be if they commited and treated gay love with a little bit of respect but they don't, not really. Show me queer love, stop just talking about it and SHOW it.

Or at the very least when you do show some semblance of it (looking at the season five finale, season three finale and a lot of other moments) don't immediately undermine it with articles about the power of friendship, it's the least you can do. We are just asking to be more than a joke.

It's like a reverse of what happened in Supernatural where after so many homophobic jokes it just turned kind of gay, it feels like after so many gay jokes with zero commitment behind them wwdits is starting to feel kind of hurtful.

I'm not saying they should have Nandor and Guillermo get together (though they should), I'm saying that after five seasons we should at the very least have seen a couple of the same sex treated with the same respect and love they've shown Laszlo and Nadja, Sean and Charmaine, or hell even Colin and Evie.

All I'm asking is for the show to make us more than just a joke or they're just going to end up circlying around and not looking great, and after five seasons it's starting to happen and I'm worried it's going to leave me with a bitter taste in my mouth by the end.

I'm not mad I'm just mad

[vampire-brainrot]

I don't just want to see them "hook up", I want to see them try to make a romantic relationship work and I want you to write the comedy of a vampire killer and a vampire dating. What's not clicking!!!

"he's his boss" GUILLERMO COULD KILL HIM ANY TIME HE WANTED and the narrative has asserted that he simply chooses not to. Next fucking question!!

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #and of course i want to see them fuck nasty on camera. but thats for another day #how often has the message of them being equals been asserted in the recent eps?? so ur gaslighting me? #i really hope he was joking. it did not land #fans REALLY deserve better than this after what last seasons finale was #supernatural fans how do u handle this lmfao

[vampire-brainrot]
