Tumblr used to be a physical place. It was a large theater built inside of a cliff. The cliff was by a stormy seaside town where all of life began. One night, there was a hurricane, and the Tumblr theater collapsed. This unleashed the Tumblr people upon the town, and thus began the world.
Before Barbenheimer, there was “Apocalypse in Pink,” the August 1983 theme of fashion/culture magazine SPECTAGORIA. The issue’s controversial imagery of Barbie-esque models attempting to stay gorgeous and glamorous amidst nuclear annihilation sought to, in the words of editor/photographer Sera Clairmont, “revel in the morbid absurdity of the new American condition,” an “anxiety vibrating underneath all our plastic smiles.”
“It’s The Hot Pink Cold War,” Clairmont wrote in her introduction. “It’s ‘Material Girl’ on the radio and ‘WarGames’ at the drive-in. It’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ interrupted by the emergency broadcast signal. We’re told to look sexy, dress fashionable, make money, and spend money, but be sure we’re just the right amount of terrified about the bomb. Get that Malibu dream home, keep working on that perfect body, sip cocktails by the pool in your little pink bikini and watching the stocks go up — but STAY VIGILANT! and for God’s sake vote Republican, because that dream home could melt into a pink plastic inferno at any given moment. Just don’t stop smiling as the blast liquefies your skin into bubbling ooze like a Barbie doll in a microwave - it’s bad for the economy.”

Guillermo tells Nandor about what happened and how he regrets it and Nandor uses his last wish for Guillermo to become human again and this is okay w Guillermo that way Nandor can bite Guillermo and it won’t be an issue and this time the transformation works I’ll solved it guys :D
NO YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND!!! their relationship is so important to me!!! they didn’t get along well at first but later, they raised a child together and now their child is gone and they’re both having empty nest syndrome and they’re gonna start spending time with each other because of that!!!! if the writers fuck them up i’ll be livid.
I spent many hours doing this for little reason other than my own satisfaction. Go on and choose a timeline you like best lmao. Full presentation below:
Guillermo gained a lot of confidence by the season 4 finale, and immediately lost it in s5ep1. He’s definitely regressed back to season 1.
Guillermo had progressed to a point where he was able to fight back against Nandor’s continuous rejection of him (he said “okay, not yeesh” when Nandor complained about having to think about Guillermo while using his dick). This season, he pulls out a chair instead of sitting in the booth beside Nandor at the restaurant. He’s back to accepting Nandor’s rejection.
But Nandor won’t be nicer to him for it, since he treats Guillermo much better when he stands up for himself (gave up his Freddie when Guillermo blew up at him about it). He definitely doesn’t encourage Guillermo to be assertive, but he does love it, even if it scares him. (Maybe because it scares him.)
Guillermo thought he had to become a vampire to earn the vampires’ respect. However, there are plenty of humans that they treat much better than Guillermo, and they treat the Guide like shit, even though she’s a vampire. Nadja, Laszlo, and Nandor are bullies, and they target Guillermo because he doesn’t fight back, not because he’s human.
If he wants the vampires’ respect, he’s going to have to get his confidence back and become the Alpha Bully in the household.
If he wants Nandor’s love, he’s going to have to treat him like shit. Nandor falls in love with people who treat him like shit (Gail & Jan) because his love language is negging (s4ep1 “always my friend. By some definition of the word” s3ep8 “despite… your just okay personality, i have come to have some affection for you”).
A healthy character arc for Guillermo would be for him to leave the people who bully him, but it’s just not that kind of show. I think they’re going to get juicy and toxic with it. Guillermo is already starting to get sick of how the vampires treat him (s5ep1 “why do your scenarios about me always involve shit?”) & maybe losing those rose-tinted lenses (he doesn’t need glasses but chooses to keep them anyway- symbolism of him having the opportunity to stop being in denial but still choosing to be, anyone??) and I think this season will definitely cumulate with a fight between Guillermo and Nandor.
