Monroe has been my favorite almost since he was introduced in the pilot! I feel like he gave Nick a partner in the Wesen world to parallel Hank, Nick’s partner in the human world. I feel like that balance abd the levity he brought were crucial to making the first season work.
Throughout the show he was one of the people Nick trusted most, and he proved a loyal friend. He always took Nick’s side, for better or worse, and while I may not subscribe to that level of loyalty myself, it wasn’t hard to see why it made Monroe one of the most important people in Nick’s life. Plus, he’s just so darn cute with his fuzzy sweaters and many varied interests (craft beer, vegan cuisine, antiquities, Cello, pilates…I’m probably missing some)!
Also you should know, it was SO hard to find a good shot of him by himself, because he was always surrounded by the people he loves most. Tell me that doesn’t make you go 🥺.
