wwdits’ ending has made me realize that i need to spend my life off the screen and live my life for myself, and not the people watching me. i am going to take a break from tumblr for a while. spending most of my time online has been overwhelming for me lately, and i’ve been trying to leave social media for a while, and now, it is time for me to leave (at least for a little bit). my discord is .bubbledumb if you want to add me.
The thing with this ending is that it is not much of an ending, this is why some storylines don’t have a resolution, the big example being the one with the monster’s wife, and this is because right now laszlo and colin are still looking for that head, there’s just no documentary crew following them around to film this, and this can be applied to many other things. Like someone said in a post, they made the show in a way immortal, just like the vampires.
There’s no conclusion to so many things because the lives of these vampires and their human is still going, and they’re dealing with things we saw them dealing with even now that the cameras are away. They’re still struggling with things we saw them struggle with, nandor probably with his depression, guillermo trying to find his place in the world, the guide wanting to fit in, nadja trying to learn more of the humans and getting another job, all these things are still going in their lives, just like one’s own issues that don’t get a resolution by the end of the year. And while I personally like this because it goes to show the message that the writers were trying to convey, which is that the vampires continue doing their shenanigans even when the cameras are off, at the same time I can see why some people don’t like this, because we’re used to getting a resolution, to getting closure, but this show did the opposite of that and I appreciate it, because I can’t still see these idiots bickering about what we saw them bickering about in their living room throughout the seasons, which was the purpose of the ending.
This doesn’t mean that guillermo, nor any other of the characters will not get their happy ending (whichever that is for you) eventually they will, we just won’t be there to witness this. This is why nadja hypnotized the audience, to give us an ending, because there’s no ending, this is the same reason why guillermo acts for the camera and acts like this is his good bye, but yet again, it’s all an act, an ending for the cameras and the audience, but it’s all fake, because their lives are still going.
There was not going to be emotional closure, because this is not a show, but a documentary allowing us see a glimpse of these vampire’s lives and guillermo’s life. And in like real life, one wouldn’t resolve all emotional issues and what not in the span of two hours simply because a camera crew is leaving your house.
maybe one of these days guillermo will gain immortality by drinking some witches poison like someone mention and becomes a fucking powerful vampire killer, maybe laszlo and colin actually get to finish this bride, maybe nandor and guillermo actually get in some deep shit with the vampiric council for fucking, and maybe the guide and nadja do fuck too. we will never know if it happens, but we will know if it doesn’t happen! (i personally choose to believe all this happens, but that’s me!).
anyway! like I have been saying, it’s ok not to like it, it’s ok if you enjoyed it. just be respectful of everyone.
Look I am as brainrotted as the next guy about nandermo but if your whole perspective on the show went from “THIS SHIT SUCKS ASS PAUL SIMMS I’M KILLING U” to “BEST SHOW EVER” after the cheek kiss, you’re weak. Sorry. This entire finale has been amazing. It is the most earnest, gentle, loving send off for a show I have ever seen. I feel like I am held by a fluffy warm blanket. I will miss the stupid vamps but they will LIVE ON in my heart, in my words, in the brains of everyone who loved the show.
THAT is how you stick a show’s landing. If you can’t see that… It must suck to live in such a cold and cynical world.
no because it was so sweet and reassuring in a way that almost shocked me. they spent most of the time talking to US, through Guillermo or directly at the camera, saying that yes, the documentary may be over today but they’ll be still there tomorrow, doing their stuff, welcoming us in case we might want to come back to them. the very last moment was so joyful honestly it was literally the show essence from start to finish. comfort. funny. very stupid. welcoming. incredible piece of television i am so serious.
