(because most of your anons seemed to be about the hexendebate lately (i LOVE this word btw)) I love this blog, thank you so much for running it! Also, am I the only one who thinks that Rosalee’s woge is breath-takingly beautiful?

Sweet lord, thank you for a message about literally anything else.

Also thanks for the compliment! I’m glad you enjoy the blog. And no, you are definitely not the only one. I love Rosalee’s woge, she’s so pretty:

I think this was the first time I noticed how adorable she is in woge form. It might also have had something to do with the expression on her face, but. Still.

What I love even more is how her face when she woges for someone new has changed over the years. Like at first she seemed very shy and timid about it, or defiant depending on who it was. But now she just seems very graceful and secure in herself with it.

(Also two of my favorite details are the little tufts on her ears and the way her eyes go from deep brown to bright gold.)

We really need to talk more about how Wu is able to control his werewolf transformation just because Hank puts hands on his shoulders and asks him to. Like that needs to be a thing that receives all the shippy meta and fanfic until the end of time. I’m still not over it, that was just fucking beautiful.

Like just imagine all the other ways they must have supported each other these last couple of years, that either weren’t emphasized like that scene was or just happened totally off-screen.

Hank knowing exactly what it’s like to doubt your own perception of reality and reassuring Wu whenever he has a moment of panic in the beginning, still thinking “this can’t be real.”

Wu and Hank going out for a drink after a tough Wesen-related case, talking through what happened and laughing about the ridiculous life they find themselves living.

Hank not realizing until that first post-case drink how badly he needed to talk to someone who really understood what it was like to be just a regular guy looking in on this weirdness from outside.

Going through all the weird cases from the last few years together, Wu trying to guess which ones were Wesen-related and Hank helping him sort through all the little things that didn’t make sense but now do.

Like that needs to be a thing that receives all the shippy meta and fanfic until the end of time. I’m still not over it, that was just fucking beautiful.

I’m always torn between being totally okay with Hank being the only member of the team left who’s totally and completely human, and being really disappointed that he hasn’t had some revelation of ancient and noble magical destiny yet.

I’m not sure if this has been addressed already. But I’ve seen some n*dalind shippers say that Juliette/Eve could also be a rapist (when she turned into Renard and had to sleep with Rachel.) What do you think?

Hi Anon! Yes, we’ve addressed this twice now at FYNB: here and here.

Look, a lot of people in fandom seem to want to make this some kind of weird reverse competition: my ship isn’t that bad because this other ship is just as unhealthy! My fave isn’t problematic because look at the awful things your fave has done!

The implied goal of these kinds of questions and arguments seems to be “gotcha! see! you can’t criticize my faves anymore because you like this character who has done bad things as well!”

But it doesn’t work like that. One character’s evil actions do not become less abhorrent because another character committed similar actions. One relationship does not become healthier because another unhealthy relationship exists.

And that’s even if you assume we’re comparing like situations and dynamics, which 90% of the time when these things come up, we’re not.

You can’t look at someone with free will and someone without it committing the same action and say they’re equally culpable. You can’t discount one character’s canonical history of sexual violence and erase another’s canonical history of kindness and selflessness and then imply someone else is being “unfair” to the characters.

Just like you can’t excuse one character’s actions while under the influence of dark magic and condemn another character for their actions while under the influence of the same dark magic.

Well, I mean…you can, but it becomes pretty clear at that point that the goal is not to reach some kind of internal fandom character treatment consistency, but rather to shame or confound anyone who doesn’t like your problematic fave into silence.
