Sadly I couldn’t find a gif or clip of this, but it has to be “Woah, look out! They just ate a baby. Well, that’s rude.” It’s probably my second favourite quote from the show (“Does anything not end in death?” is the first.)
Something about the Big Bad Wolf having the coziest house just makes me smile. Monroe’s house quickly became a refuge for Nick, almost as soon as Monroe invited him in. He went there for help, for advice. For dinner. In season 2 he even lived there for a while!
Had his own room and everything!
And while Nick’s house was often where Shit Went Down, over the years Monroe’s became the place where Team Grimm went to get patched up, rested up, fed, and to be safe. That’s the kind of house I want to have someday, one my friends and family think of as a safe haven.
I also want those holiday decorations and that gorgeous door!
I don’t know any, sadly, so I’m going to have to make up my own category today, and that category is … Favorite Mom! It’s interesting to think that we meet all the main characters’ moms. This one isn’t a shoe-in because I love hating Catherine Schade, but Kelly is such a powerhouse. Her wit and gravitas really class up the joint
OP’s tag: #renard’s mother was played by a woman 3 years older than sasha roiz
This will never not be funny to me. I know they handwaved it with the implication that she used magic to look younger, but STILL.
On October 28th, 2011, the weird little show that could aired its first ever episode on NBC. It’s hard to believe, but the 10th anniversary of that day is almost upon us! To celebrate we’re doing 28 days of Grimm, and we want you to get involved!
So for the next 28 days, please tell us…
You can make a post or send an ask, and we’ll be answering and reblogging throughout the month! Just be sure to mention your ask is for the 28 Days of Grimm, and tag your posts with #28daysofgrimmversary so we can find them!
I LOVE how close the cast all are still, but nothing tugged my heartstrings like David and Bitsie sharing their wedding photos on IG and just how cute and playful they are with each other. Especially when I somehow didn’t even realize they had been dating. 🤣
…….Whatever is going on here? I think this was a watch party at someone’s house for the season 3 premiere (don’t quote me on that, please.) The chaotic energy that’s radiating from this image is something, and (now that I think about it) this image would probably make a good draw-your-squad meme.
Other answer: I like that she is able to express her anger finally after 3 seasons or so. She’s always been on Nick’s side, and when he’s not particularly on hers she gets so angry at him and it is beautiful to watch. I also really like how calculating she is.
The answer to this question for me is always silverhardt, (although I do also ADORE Monroe and Rosalee, don’t get me wrong.) I will be on this ship for years, they have had me since I first watched the show.
They managed to be with each other through all of their troubles…..at least until season 4 (UGH. I WILL FOREVER HATE THE WRITERS.) Although, ironically, I do have a soft spot for Villain!Juliette, it was good to see her rightfully express her anger.
I am glad the later seasons gave them some sort of resolution, even if it wasn’t quite what I wanted for them.
(Also my copy of season 2 uses the phrase “the love of his life” to describe Juliette and I think about that a lot more than I should.)
I really feel like in some ways, Grimm is Juliette’s origin story. Whether that’s a villain origin story or not depends on your perspective, but plenty of fans put her in that box long before she actually fit it simply because she committed the cardinal sin of being a love interest who had thoughts, goals, desires, and feelings that weren’t 100% about propping up the white male protagonist’s ego and validating all of his choices. Even though she rarely acted on them.
Juliette went through more betrayal, suffering, and evolution than any other character on the show, and she did the hardest parts almost entirely alone. From being lied to and gaslit for years by the man who claimed to love her, to having all her friends desert her and turn on her when she needed them most, to being brainwashed and robbed of her emotions, to being given those emotions back when she wasn’t sure she wanted them. Juliette’s mind, body, and agency were violated again and again, often by people she called friends.
And that’s what makes her descent into villainy in season 4 so compelling to me. Juliette as a hexenbiest doesn’t just lash out at random. Every destructive act is purposeful, targeted. All of it was a way of exorcising the pain she feels over being lied to, gaslit, used, betrayed, attacked, and abandoned, over and over and over again, for the sake of Nick’s journey as a grimm. She rocked Team Grimm to their core, and in some ways she was a much-needed wake-up call for Nick thar I wish they show had explored more than just with one speech made by Rosalee.
She goes after the trailer because it’s the symbolic source of all her problems: the day that thing appeared in her yard was the day her happy, relatively peaceful life with Nick was over. She targets Monroe and Rosalee because they’re the first Wesen friends Nick made, and were key players in keeping her in the dark as long as she was. She targets Adalind…well, do I really need to even explain that one?
I’m not saying the things Juliette did as a hexenbiest were right, or good. But they are understandable to me. For years I watched her quash her anger, set her pain aside, forgive the unforgivable, and ignore her own needs in favor of being there for her friends and her boyfriend and what they all needed. And I was screaming on the inside “WHY AREN’T YOU ANGRY?!”
That level of selflessness is not sustainable, nor is it healthy. Something was bound to break eventually. It’s just luck (and maybe karma on Nick’s part) that what becoming a hexenbiest broke was her bullshit tolerance and not her spirit.
I felt vindicated watching Juliette on her rampage. I did a fist-pump when she laughed in Nick’s face after he tried to use “I love you” to solve all their problems. She was finally letting herself be angry for years of being last priority and last to know and first to make a sacrifice. And though the romantic in me was heartbroken watching all her sweetness and selflessness turn to violence and rage, a much bigger part of me was nodding and saying “good for her.”
This category probably refers to an on-screen moment, but this photoshoot (I think it was Entertainment Weekly, maybe 2013?) was the first time I realized how much this cast loved each other and how lucky we were to have them. It was my phone wallpaper for ages.
