ship ask, WWDITS edition
@amariemelody sent me the ship ask for WWDITS on main (@lonesparkthefriendlykraken) but I’m gonna answer here:
First and last and always, my WWDITS OTP is Guillermo/Happiness!
but also I am very much on Team Get Guillermo (a) Boyfriend(s)
I love nandermo and I want it to be canon endgame and I think it could be and I wrote a whole slightly popular post about that: https://mapnerdbloodbag.tumblr.com/post/648362985548595201/lonesparkthefriendlykraken-i-want-nandermo-to
In the mean time, I am big into Guillermo/Claude. Join me! Let us put our pool noodles together and make a raft!
I also like Guillermo/Derek,* Claude/Derek/Guillermo, and Team Polycule: Mosquito Collectors Edition (but Derek, you gotta stop bringing that up to new people at the first meeting.)
(Watched The Curse last night with the beloved ex-GF, and she suggested Guillermo try to recruit the Collectors as fellow bodyguards, with or without explaining that the guarded are “suckers,” & now I really want that AU! (I think this was in service of Guillermo/Sleep, another beloved OTP!))
On a similar note, Shanice/Jenna, past or future, and Guillermo/Jeremy, past or future, requited or not.
The show ppl say everyone is queer, and they don’t limit it to vampires or main chars that I’ve heard, which is just perfect for me as the target audience for that kind of thing. Like obviously a few chars like Charmaine & Sean seem straight-coded, but otherwise...
Also like Nandor & Laszlo as like, complicated BroTP w/ benefits
Interested in Nadja & Jenna’s relationship. I think it’s mostly a mentor thing, but see no reason that wouldn’t include sex, which seems to be a very important bonding ritual in vampire culture
I want someone to date a werewolf, so I am in favor of Get Guillermo a Werewolf Boyfriend, do have fic draft notes for Guillermo/Toby...
IDK if there’s a point to doing canon pairings, but I freaking love Nadja & Laszlo providing me with Dumbass Pansexual Married Ppl Rep! The show does show a lot of the relationship, but I’d still love to see past stuff. The particular fighty dramatic thing they have going on isn’t my Personal Bi/Pan Brand, but then again I don’t have eternity to avoid boredom in...
Nadja/Jeff is interesting too, especially for what it says about vampire conception of gender & souls or whatever. (+reincarnation AU things to HC or contradict...)
In AUs I can be convinced of almost any ship. It’s helpful that everyone could potentially be attracted to anyone else, with the fuzzy caveats that Guillermo Probably Isn’t Into Women and The Roommates Are Just Bros, but any of that could be overridden for pragmatic reasons or just different versions of the characters...
TL;DR:
Everyone is Queer
I love minor characters
Light a candle for nandermo endgame
Get Guillermo A Boyfriend
SHIP ALL THE THINGS!!!**
