I kind of wanted Nick and Truble to have a Grimm thing……*hides face*

Hey, you’re not alone! I see people on my dash all the time who see Nick and Trubel as potentially romantic. I personally see them as more familial–either a father/daughter or big brother/little sister dynamic.

A huge part of that for me is the age difference and the potential power imbalance. To me it’s just a bit weird having a 21-year-old girl who’s spent most of her life alone and traumatized begin a romantic or sexual relationship with a man who’s over a decade her senior and who more or less rescued her from trauma, took her in off the street, and became a mentor to her. There’s just too much room there for an abuse of power for me to see it as a romantic ship.

But again…there are lots of people who feel differently than me on this point! For instance, some might point out that Trubel has also saved and taken care of Nick when his powers were suppressed by Adalind’s spell, so they’ve really rescued each other.

But, eh…the age difference still squicks me. Fandom? What say you? Any other Nick/Trubel fans out there? Or no? Why or why not? Do you see a power imbalance there that could be problematic in a romantic or sexual relationship? Or perhaps you headcanon Trubel as attracted to women/asexual/aromantic?
