Hmmm…that’s an interesting theory! I actually kind of like that idea: that he grew up seeing Wesen from Day One so it was never strange to him. Although it would certainly make him unique in his world, as from what little we get in the show it seems like almost all Wesen get their first woge as teenagers, kind of like puberty, and Grimms don’t necessarily have it from birth either though it’s unclear exactly when the onset is or how consistent it is.
I wonder what about having a Hexenbiest mother and a Grimm father would do that? Or could it have something to do with the twinning spell somehow? The rules of magic in this world are murky.
Oh…my god. Really?! How have I seen that episode like six times and missed the innuendo in that!?

I know right!?
I still want to know how Grimm powers are passed on, and whether the Wesen council ever rebuilt itself, and whether Kelly actually has powers, and what the triplets are like, and whether Eve ever makes her way back to Juliette and learns to forgive herself, and the history of Grimms! Like Jesus H. Christ tell me about the FIRST GRIMM! Let some case come back to haunt the Burkhardts so that we can get young Marie and Kelly Sr. flashbacks! Let some of the damn one-offs that are so beloved come back and dig deeper into their There was SO much more story to be told. So much more of the world to discover. Six seasons was actually kind of amazing for such a niche show but it still was not enough!
I don’t recall this Wesen myself, and I haven’t been able to find it anywhere other than the brief appearance of one in the journals in season 5, as you mentioned.
There are a few Wesen with tusks or horns, but none of them are mentioned as being hunted for them as far as I recall. There’s the Schinderdiv with large-ish tusks and the Fuilcre with large-ish horns. There’s also a unicorn-like Wesen called an Abath, with a single horn protruding from its forehead, but again…I don’t think this is the one you’re after.
At some point I plan to do a Grimm rewatch to finish the Grimm Stats and the glossary page. When I do I’ll be sure to keep a lookout!
LISTEN. I agree with you. I agree so hard, in fact, that for NaNoWriMo this year I wrote 50,000 words of a Grimm season 7 fanfiction. I’m working on finishing it up, editing it, and filling in some plotholes. Once I do I’ll post it on AO3 and link it here. In the meantime, if anyone has any good Grimm post-finale fic recs, feel free to reblog/reply and add them!
I don’t know of any specifically Grimm-imagines blogs, but the Grimm Imagines tag is a pretty nice place if you want to check that out!
Woooo! Go you! But also, hold onto your butt, it’s about to be a bumpy ride!
I can’t say I agree…I loved every season of Grimm except maybe the back half of 4, and even that was interesting. I mean the N/a/dalind stuff in 5 was 1000% gross, and I will always feel like the writing decisions made in season 5 killed the show. But even so the season had some really strong episodes, and possibly the best finale they’ve ever done. It had just lost too much of the audience by that point to salvage the ratings.
Season 6 was the weakest season IMO, but then I think it couldn’t help but be weaker because it was slashed in half, episode-wise, and because it was an abrupt final season trying to live up to five years of story build-up. And although I loved it as a season and loved parts of the ending, I don’t really feel like they paid all of that off.
Granted, it’s not as bad as some highly-anticipated endings (nothing will ever be worse than the endings to Lost or HIMYM). And to be honest, the Grimm writers played my heart like a fiddle to the point that I didn’t even notice a lot of the flaws on my first or second viewing of the series finale.
But now that I’m removed from the emotional aspects of it a tiny bit, I can see that it still wasn’t completely worthy of all that came before. So if I had to choose a worst season, it would probably be 5 or 6, despite individual episodes that were fantastic.
So I’m going through my gifs and clips of Grimm to fill some of the outstanding gif requests in my inbox, and Nick’s face when Eve says “I know you’re here because you loved me once,” Nick’s FUCKING FACE kills me every time. Like my god, can’t you see it, Eve? Can’t you see he never once stopped?!
I’ll never be over it.
