The strength of your blood, the blood of your Grimm ancestors, all of us it’s inside you. It’s what makes us who we are. Trubel too. The strength we need that we all need comes from our family. It’s where we’ve always found the way and the will to fight. And with that, we can defeat any evil. Together.

He might not have his Grimm powers yet (and honestly who knows if he would even get them, if I recall only women of the Grimm line are a sure thing) but he also might have something from Adalind’s side. The Hexenbeist thing is totally uncharted waters.

Very true. The Hexenbiest thing throws it all into uncertainty. Would it enhance his Grimm powers? Change them? Overpower them? Cancel them out entirely? It’s literally impossible for us to know.

That being said, @irreverentcatalyst (Admin D) is working on an update to her posts about Grimm genetics to try and answer at least some of these questions. Look for it in the upcoming hiatus posts!

Greenwalt & Kouf confirmed in an interview that Mom & Dad was Adalind & Nick…

I’ll admit, I haven’t seen that interview…and I’ve seen a lot of them. But here’s the thing: you can send me a link right now to a video of Greenwalt and Kouf chanting “when Diana says ‘mom and dad’ she means Nick and Adalind” over and over for two hours, and I still won’t interpret it that way.

Why? Because whatever they say in interviews, they didn’t choose to make it concrete in canon.

When an author chooses not to state something outright in canon, they leave it open to audience interpretation. They can come back later and say whatever they want in interviews, but “word of god” that does not also exist in canon is not technically canon and doesn’t have to affect how we interpret the text.

If an author wants something interpreted a certain way, that’s all well and good for them. But if they didn’t state it that way in the actual text, they leave the door open for any number of other interpretations, from the mostly-canonically-supported to the absolutely-wackadoo-unlikely-but-still-not-technically-contradictory.

That’s the beauty of interpretation, headcanon, fanon, fandom.

For many reasons, some personal and some canonical, I choose not to interpret that line a certain way. Which is completely fine. After all, the writers left the door wide open.

Thank you. Sean is an asshole, but he’s been consistent about wanting to be Diana’s dad.

That’s how I feel, too. And while I agree wholeheartedly with (and am a living example of) @resistpoisontangface‘s statement that you can have more than one dad–or mom for that matter–I also know that kids tend to pick up on their parents’ feelings about certain things and act accordingly. And I cannot ever see Sean being okay with Diana calling someone else “dad,” least of all Nick. Give it 20 years or 200 years, it ain’t gonna happen.

So based just on my own personal experience, and the fact that Diana consistently called Nick by his first name, I don’t think she meant Nick when she said “dad.” I don’t interpret it that way. It’s fine if other people do, but I never will. And that’s not a reflection on how I view Nick’s role in Diana’s life. That’s just how I feel about how she’d apply the label.

I thought it was pretty clear that Nick was “dad,” and as someone is also from a blended family, you can have two dads.

You can absolutely have two dads, including without any step-parents at all! I never meant to suggest otherwise. If you read the linked post in the ask you replied to, I gave three different examples of how I’ve seen kids from blended families refer to their step-parents, including my own, in which I call my step-mother “Momma.”

They left a lot of things open to interpretation in that last scene, not the least of which was who Diana means when she says “mom and dad.” If you think she means Nick and Adalind, great! You’re entitled to that interpretation. I don’t interpret it that way, and that’s also great, and I’m just as entitled to my interpretation. That’s the beauty of leaving it as open as they did…it gives a measure of closure while also allowing fans to fill in the details that make them the happiest.
