THIS. When fans defend Nick’s hurried 11th-hour confession in “Woman in Black” and ask “but when else could Nick have told her?” THIS WAS WHEN. This was the perfect moment. She was already questioning, already open to it.
But no. He waits until it’s a matter of life and death and she’s already disinclined to trust him, behaves erratically and freaks her the hell out. No wonder she didn’t believe him!
And that’s one of the most frustrating aspects of Nick’s character throughout the series. He never wants to be open and honest until the sky is falling down around his ears.
The real tragedy is that Wu didn’t know the truth back in Season 1 when the writers were still really into punny names because he would have been so happy.
Okay but real talk there is nothing cuter than the double-handed fist bump Nick and Monroe give each other when Monroe comes to Nick’s house for dinner for the first time and they’re both trying to play it cool so that Juliette doesn’t get suspicious but instead they just act like giant awkward dorks and Juliette is clearly wondering what their damage is but Nick and Monroe are convinced that they are acting completely natural so when Juliette turns around they give each other a double-handed fist bump and look so proud of themselves even though Monroe spun around in a little circle moments before as Nick tried awkwardly to take his coat off.
@fuckyeahnickburkhardt, idk if you remember, but you had an anon asking if Sean’s woge changed over time (like, months ago). So, I used my third rewatch to take a screenshot (almost) every time he woges.
The first time we see him woge is in 2×2 and it looks like this:
Please note, THIS IS A MIRROR IMAGE.
In season 2 we get more woges (is that even the right word) in 2×8 and two times in 2×13 – all in super dark lighting, so you just have to believe me when I say that the only changes are because of his healing injuries.
Then we have 2×20 where it was actually possible to take a decent screenshot.
We can’t see much of a change here either, so just have a look at the other side of his face.
I couldn’t really get good screenshots in 3×1, 3×2, 3×18, 3×19.
This one is from 3×21. I think the part on the right side got a little bigger compared to 2×20? It definitely goes down to his jaw now, but idk how much is just because shitty quality.
In 4×5 we get a good look at the part around his eye, but as far as i can tell it’s pretty much like before.
4×10 and 4×16 were, once again, pretty much impossible to screenshot with my non-existent skill.
In 5×6 we get this:
The part around his eye is weaker, but that’s because of the moment I took the screenshot. What definitely changed is the part on the right, there’s this very prominent… line thing-y now, that didn’t really exist at the beginning. (at least, it was not that prominent)
Here’s a pic from 5×12:
As I said, the eye-part didn’t really get weaker. BUT he’s apparently able to keep the left eye open now. It’s also a little open in 2×20, but not like this. (going through the screenshots before, this is the first time the left eye is open this wide. It looks again like this in 5×21, but the quality is awful)
Here’s a pic from 6×1:
and I’m not even sure what is different about this one, but something is. I think it’s the colour? (at least partly, may be because of the lighting)
In 6×3 both Sean and Nick woge (you know, verfluchte Zwillingsschwester and stuff) but I couldn’t get a decent picture.
The last time we see Sean woge is in 6×5.
And I think when you compare this to the first image(s), there is quite a bit of a difference. On one hand, it’s a lot greyer, less colourful. (Yes I know that basically applies to everything in the later seasons) On the other hand, there’s definitely some difference around his eye, it looks less like someone burnt off the skin and more like it’s somewhat dried? Like, almost mummified? Also, on the right we have this one “cut” again. And something else changed about that i think, but I can’t really figure it out.
So, in conclusion, I think his woge changed somewhat over the seasons but not to a degree where I would actually say “you fucked up there, friends”.
THE END
(okay, I lied about it being short. If I fucked up the grammar somewhere, tell me. If you notice something i didn’t do add it. And if you want to see the rest of the crappy screenshots, they’re all still on my laptop.
@jujubiest, I hope you don’t mind me tagging you specifically, but I know you’re part of fynb)
No I don’t mind at all, this is fantastic! Queueing it up for FYNB right now. Amazing. Thank you for doing this!
I want to know more about how wesen are with the animals they’re based on. Like, there was that one Season 1 episode where the rat guy could control rats (one of my fav episodes, tbh), but was that a fluke? Or do all wesen have a special relationship with their animal?
Like, would a wild wolf wag its tail at Monroe? Could Bud raise an army of waddling beavers if he wanted? When Rosalee goes camping, does she wake up to find a bunch of fluffy foxes asleep in a cuddly pile next to her? These are important questions.
