By The Gods This Episode Got Dark Quick. So Dark. Guillermo Has A Ride Ahead.

File under: I can't believe someone made you type that

Nandermo shippers being fed prime pining blood right here.

THIS IS IT LADS. IT'S TIME TO MOURN.

I've been depressed all week.

At first, I thought this was gonna be like when Victorians would pose for photos with corpses so they would have pictures after they died but nah its somehow sadder.

The fact that Baron & Co. are in the portrait is honestly very sweet.

I repeat this again. Petty Guillermo's vibes are just off.

Okay! You didn't need to remove all of the Colin's in the opening man are ya tryna kill me?

Donal my man!

Random gaffer man has definitely either been fucked or been fed on by Donal. Just sayin.

Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh bro SVU slaps. I love Munch and since he left I can't watch it but man. I love SVU.

I am the Baron, I feast upon hate.

Nandor really has just had a lot this year. His entire reality has been shaken, he can't get a woman, and now the man whose name he can only remember because he has written it down and has it in his coat is dead. Not to mention, he crushed in said mans head. Hard times.

Guillermo presuming he was going with him is very Guillermo.

"My sweet, sweet Guillermo..."

4th wall breaking is excellent. Acknowledging the camera is great.

Fuck the United Kingdom-A resident of the United Kingdom.

I feel incredibly bad for Nadja. Poor qween.

I don't want the show to end but I would love if they went abroad for a vibe. Like for their characters.

"Eat, Pray Prey, Love"

Angy Guillermo.

Awwww family. Nadja can't deal.

Oh no. Is it tea? In this episode of What We Do In The Shadows? From Lazlo? It's more likely than you'd think.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Lazlo. My heart. Precious.

Lazlo changed his mind so easily.

Guillermo. For a second, you made it sound like you were gonna say something. You faked me once, don't do it again.

Bodyslam!

There is so much camera shaking.

Vampires like fighting and fucking. They know what they are doing.

Oh? A test, you say. Hmmmmmm...

Boy best friends trip! Boy best friends trip!

Awwwwwwwww. Guillermo wanted a hug. He was denied.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE."

"Travelling the world with my Nand-Master."

I do like The Guide. Her accent is very appealing.

Colin Robinson. There is something going on, with Colin Robinson down there. Concern.

Lazlo is not going. Just a feeling.

I knew it. Well, not the kidnapping Guillermo bit. But, the leaving.

Is there gonna be a lil baby Colin?

Lil baby Colin! I fucking hate it. So much.

Okay I am very sad but honestly, I'm mostly satisfied. There is some things I don't vibe with, but I think that is the point of the episode.

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

I think Moby Dick might be cosmic horror. Captain Ahab is like "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND it's not a whale. God is an evil master controlling every living human like a puppet, free will is an illusion, we are caught in a cruel trap made by god. THAT WHALE IS THE MASK OF THAT GOD"

HE THINKS HE THINKS if he can kill the whale, he can break humanity free of the bonds of GOD. and our narrator boy Ishmael is like "uh...i think it might just be a big whale and you have trauma" BUT THEN AT THE END ISHMAEL SEES IT and he's like "oh no. it's god"

and like. IT KILLS EVERYONE IT EATS AHAB AND DRAGS HIM INTO HELL SCREAMING. it IS god. nature is god.

god what a good story

i love too that if you know it from pop culture you know Ahab's leg was eaten by the whale? well thats the more soft version, in the story proper you hear he was basically CHEWED ALIVE, his whole body is held together with HATE and THE WILL TO KILL GOD and WHALE BONE PROSTHETICS.

AT SOME POINT he just HOLDS SOME LIGHTNING and everyone is like "Captain ahab is so cool i'd die for him" and the only one going "hey this seems weird" is the main character

but yeah every time i'm like "GOD MOBY DICK IS SO GOOD" people are like "the whale hunting story?? with the stinky boring men???" and i get sad.

Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me!

For anyone who hasn't seen them before, Hidden Search Operators are handy tricks you can use when you're either searching or filtering AO3.

summary: string is a generic way of explaining that you can search AO3 for a specific word that appears in a summary. You can do this from the search bar in the header, from the Any Field box at the top of the Advanced Search form, or from the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filter menu.

Examples:

summary: Bruce

summary: "Bruce Banner"

summary: Bruce OR summary: Banner OR summary: Hulk

You need to put quotation marks around your search term if it is more than one word. The quotes make sure that the site searches for those two words together.

The other two operators listed work best in the Search Within Results box.

expected_number_of_chapters: 1 will return results where every fic has only 1 chapter currently posted.

You can use expected_number_of_chapters: -1 if you want results where every fic has more than 1 chapter currently posted.

otp:true will return results where there is only 1 relationship tag on the fic. If you want results where there are 2+ relationship tags (and no fics with only 1 relationship tag) then you can use otp:false

This season is so fucking hype I can't wait.

Its gonna be so good!
