- “who is this person you pledged your loyalty to? thorin oakenshield?”

- the Look™️

- “he... he was my friend.”

- bilbo baggins kept that map, thorins map, the for the rest of his life, for it was all he had left of a lost love

Thorin my beloved…

Get ready, folks, cause here I go…

So in the casino episode when the vamps are trying to make Guillermo feel like “part of the group” (to Nandor’s very adament request, might I add), Nandor is all into it when Nadja asks Guillermo if he has a girlfriend. He’s laughing and nodding and generally encouraging the conversation.

But then Laszlo asks Guillermo if he has a boyfriend, and boy does Nandor’s whole demeanor change. He shoots Laszlo a Look™, then stares very intensely at Guillermo while the poor guy struggles to answer.

I mean:

This is the face of a man who is regretting all of his life choices. This dumbass is in pain.

Nandor gets visibly uncomfortable, no longer smiling, but rather looking very much like he wants to conversation to be over. And when Guillermo talks about how in his family, it wasn’t really okay to talk about your personal life (which is really fucking sad, by the way), Nandor nods and then shifts in his seat, as if to say: “See, there, we don’t need to talk about it.”

But then when Laszlo keeps talking about it, bringing up that the best thing in the world is fucking (his words, not mine), Nandor just sort of… bluescreens and stares at Guillermo like all his braincells have just fled the scene.

I have never in my life seen a Look so intense as the one pictured above. I mean – what can I even say about this.

Also,

If you were to look up the definition of gay panic in a dictionary, this is what you would see, because holy shit this man is currently unable to keep it together, he’s too busy undressing Guillermo with his eyes.

Anyway, then Guillermo goes onto say (or at least, try to say) that his childhood was hard and that he “was about nine or then when [he] realized [he] was–” cue Sean interrupting. And Nandor’s face the whole time this man was trying to come out to his companions?

This is the most honest, real, tender expression I have ever EVER seen on Nandor’s stupid little face. This man is yearning, jesus christ above, just fucking kiss him already you ridiculous himbo. Put your lips on his face so we can stop watching you struggle.

I also noticed on my second, or third (or maybe fourth) time watch the scene that when Sean interrupts Guillermo, Nandor actually looks upset. Like, he closes his eyes for a second, and when he looks away (away from Guillermo but in the vague direction of a camera) he looks genuinely pissed that Guillermo didn’t get to finish.

Most of the time, when Nandor gets upset or mad it is played off for comic effect. You know, to kind of be like “haha this guy is fucking huge and scary but he’s really just a silly goofball” sort of thing. Not this time. This time, there isn’t a joke to it. In fact, it’s not even the center of the shot: if you blink, you’ll literally miss it. All of that makes it seem so much more real than any of the other anger we have seen from Nandor. It shows genuine, unmasked emotion.

And really, I feel like Nandor went unmasked for the entirety of this scene. We get to see every first reaction that Nandor has to what is being said around him, and all it shows is that he’s got some Big Feels™.

What does all of this mean? I have no fucking clue. All I know is that this man right here *slams a picture of Nandor down on the metaphorical desk* is filled with so much pining I don’t know how it hasn’t killed him yet. It’s about to kill me, I’ll tell you that.
