replied to your post ā€œSince Diana said “Mom and Dad are waiting”, I’m guessing that Dad…ā€

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 ā€œwhen Diana says ā€˜mom and dad’ she means Nick and Adalindā€ 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, butĀ ā€œword of godā€ 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.

Grimm Fancast: Monroe & Rosalee’s Triplets

We (Admin D and Admin Liza) decided to do a fancast of the triplets, since we never got to see them in the show. We also picked out names for them!

  • Top Left: Isabelle Fuhrman as Farrin
  • Top Right: Asher Monroe as Felix
  • Middle: Quinn Shephard as Fredericka (ā€Freddieā€ for short)
  • Bottom: Our beloved Monrosalee!

So what do you guys think? Who would you cast as the triplets?

Admin Liza here! I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the triplets. What would they be like? How would they relate to their parents, Kelly and Diana, and the rest of Team Grimm?

So here are my personal headcanons for the Monrosalee Triplets:

  • Farrin is the oldest, by all of two minutes, followed by Felix and then Freddie.
  • She lords this over the two of them occasionally.
  • Farrin is very close to her Auntie Eve and Auntie Trubel, while Freddie loves them both but has always found them a bit intimidating.
  • Felix is always complaining about his sisters to Kelly, who is quick to put things in perspective withĀ ā€œat least Far and Fred can’t levitate you when they find you annoying.ā€
  • Rosalee and Monroe never followed through on their plan to leave Portland after their kids were born. They just never ā€œgot aroundā€ to it. So Kelly and Diana spent a lot of time at the triplets’ house growing up, and all four of the younger kids were often babysat by Diana.
  • Felix has had a hopeless crush on Diana since he was about eight. He’s always shy around her. She, of course, looks at him similar to how she sees Kelly: her annoying but beloved kid brother.
  • Freddie wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps as an apothecary, and has since she was little. She’s naturally inquisitive and loves to experiment.
  • Felix is more interested in history and sociology. He’s attending Northwestern next fall.

Since everyone keeps asking about my high school headcanon for Sean…

He’s not a foreign exchange student, technically, because at the end of the school year they get to go home. Sean wants to go home more than anything. He misses that big, drafty castle with its opulent furniture and hallways echoing with centuries of history. He misses his father, busy most of the time but always so jovial and glad to see him. He misses his Latin tutor and his brother and cousins.

He hates his ugly American school with its concrete walls painted in the garish school colors. The curriculum doesn’t offer Latin; it doesn’t even offer German. How anyone expects to learn anything in such a noisy, ugly place he will never comprehend.

Most of all, he hates his classmates. They’re all loud, uncouth, ill-mannered…and they keep asking him to say things over and over again, and then doing terrible imitations of his accent.

So Sean puts his head down and works very hard on eradicating every trace of Austria from his voice. At the end of a year, he sounds almost like a native. By the end of the second year, everyone seems to have forgotten that he was ever anĀ ā€œexoticā€ foreign boy.

But Sean never forgets that he was chased from his home, and he can never quite find a place in his new school…because he can’t let go of what he’s lost.
