Nick: Do you feel remorse for anything you’ve done?
Eve: You mean what she did.
Nick: What you did.
Eve: You still think you’re talking to Juliette.
Nick: I don’t know who I’m talking to.
Eve: Yes you do. You just won’t accept it.
Nick: Maybe I can’t.

Hi! I just saw your Grimm characters sorted into Hogwarts houses posts and I was wondering what made you sort Rosalee into Slytherin? I don’t disagree (I’ve always been torn between Slytherin and Ravenclaw for her) but I’m just curious over your reasoning!

Hi Anon! Admin Liza here.

I thought a lot about where to put Rosalee, because Ravenclaw might have seemed like the obvious choice for her at first blush. But in the end, Slytherin won out for a few reasons.

Rosalee is incredibly smart, but that seems to be more something she can do than who she is, if that makes sense.

A good contrast would actually be Rosalee to Juliette: Juliette’s approach to life–problems, relationships, everything really–is to poke, prod, explore, interrogate, research, ask questions, experiment…and that’s part of who she is, not just something she does. Whereas research, book knowledge, application are all skills Rosalee has, but they’re not at the core of who she is as a person, they’re not how she tackles every single thing in her life.

Rosalee is clever and resourceful, but she’s also careful and shrewd. She always recommends honesty and openness to others, but she comes at her own personal issues from the side, and keeps things back if she doesn’t think sharing them will get a desired result.

She is careful and selective about the people she trusts, and fiercely protective of those she loves. She can be ruthlessly pragmatic when necessary, and although she would prefer a world of peace and harmony, she will not hesitate to go for the jugular (literally) if that’s what will help her survive and protect the ones she cares about.

She may not be ambitious in a way that is easily recognizable in a theoretical goal-setting sense. But that’s because her ambition is more the applied-daily variety, and has more to do with how she attacks everything set in front of her with a single-minded determination and work ethic than what far-flung objective she sets for herself.

So ambition? Check. Cleverness? Check. Loyalty to those select few she loves? Check. Caution and pragmatism? Check. That hat would have had her in Slytherin before you can say “snake.”

Thank you for making my “Nick/Eve in the rain” gifsets! It was awesome! You’re a wonderful person, thank you so so much!!!! Could you please gif lots of the Eve/Nick scenes? I can’t find any of them on Tumblr!

Hi again, Nonny! I’m so glad you liked them!

My computer is a grouchy old man who hates Photoshop, so we’ll see if he consents to let it run long enough to gif the rest of their scenes together (but I’ll try!). In the meantime, here are some links to previous gifsets I’ve done of Nick and Eve:

Eve’s first appearance at the end of “Wesen Nacht.”

Nick officially meets Eve in “Eve of Destruction.”

Explaining to Nick why she’s now called Eve.

Nick saying “Look At Me!” and Eve giving him the Laser Glare.

Bonus: Eve’s Dramatic Reveal in “Wesen Nacht” (there’s no Nick in this and it’s from my personal blog, but it’s one of my favorite scenes in the show, so here have a thing).

I think my next project will be to gif the scene where she tells Nick she’s sorry he never got to bury Juliette. 😀

What if Zuri is one of the crazy wesen that’s part of black claw and is trying to get back in with Hank to lure him away from Nick?…i mean she did refer to Nick as “the Grimm”…

I (Mod Siobhan) think you’re right! A sudden change of heart, being in Hank’s local food shop* when it’s waay across town from where she lives, her previous very rigid stance on Human/Wesen relationships. Her brother is away at college, so not in harm’s way, and she did grill him a bit about Nick…

And since we’ve not seen Black Claw specifically go after Nick, only attack him when he was with HW, this must be their plan, since there is no way they think they can hold Portland with Nick still alive…

(*Grocery store? Siobhan can’t American very well)

I’d like to add that Zuri asked Hank to go to her house, instead of going out in public. Her house, which is the other side of town, where she would feel comfortable and would not be seen with Hank.

Also, notice the way Hank has been acting around her? He’s been dealing with Wesen for quite a while now, and should not be so nervous/anxious/tense(?) around her. Admittedly, I did try to rationalise it with the idea that he hadn’t quite thought through a relationship with a Wesen when he originally asked her out, and now is having second thoughts about it. However it makes much more sense for Hank to be tense because his instincts are telling him something is wrong.

I meant to say about the house thing, but then I wondered if that was an Americanism, because you do not go round to someone’s house on a first date in Britain unless they’re like, already your friend or like neighbours or something.

Looks like it’s not, and it is very suspicious, especially since she didn’t even think about going out – Hank barely finished his sentence before she was ready with that one, she’d clearly planned it out to be like that rather than a spur of the moment decision, or just an option.

I do think Hank is anxious and his instincts are pinging, ‘cause mine are. Even if you were desperate for a second chance with someone, there’s ‘I’MREALLYSORRYGOONADATEWITHME’ and Zuri’s literal ‘I’m not leaving until I get a date with you’.

Which is not only creepy, but not like Zuri at all, especially since she obviously felt Hank came on way too strong before and reacted that way. She was nice and chatty, but to me seemed very introverted, and not like this new Zuri who practically threw herself at Hank? I know people change, but it’s just not like the Zuri I remember who like, ate a dude. I think she’s not the Zuri Hank remembers, and that’s also why he feels weird about it.  Didn’t he also take a few moments to put a name to her face as well, whereas she knew him straight away, almost like she was waiting for him…
