Kinda wondering… has anybody done a gif compilation of Eve’s abilities during her days of being an agent for Hadrian’s Wall? That would be sick if someone did that!

I haven’t seen one, no, but that would be amazing.

I sadly don’t have a computer that’s very good at giffing anymore (which is what’s behind the shameful lack of new graphical content on FYNB, btw), but if anyone does such a compilation we’d LOVE to see it and reblog it and signal boost it to the moon!

What I loved most and what I found particularly powerful was Nick being surrounded by female Grimms, women who are integral to his life and propelled him forward throughout everything. Seeing Nick with his mother, aunt, and Trubel, fighting together was incredibly epic!

Agreed! One of the things this show has always done incredibly well, IMO, is having a male protagonist surrounded by women without making those women seem like accessories.

Each woman on this show is powerful, and each one has her own story. And the fact is that Nick would not be who he is–would not have won this final fight at all–if it weren’t for these amazing women who’ve shaped him throughout his life. Particularly Kelly Sr. and Marie.

Of course, I never expected Juliette/Eve to reciprocate that sort of feeling because it would be very creepy. I’m happy to see the support they have for each other in those little scenes. As for age gaps, I do notice the disturbing trend of people shipping Trubel with those who are much older than her. Like… she’s fine on her own or with someone close to her age???

True. There was even a hot second there in season 4 when people shipped her with Muggle Josh, which was fine and all (and I actually thought their dynamic was really cute tbh)…but there was also some backlash about that because he seemed to be so much older than her.

Granted…his age is never explicitly stated in the show (and people’s age perception when it comes to TV characters is way off anyway because of the way people are usually cast in roles much younger than their actual age). But there was still that valid concern for the kind of message it sent to blithely promote such a ship, especially for a character that is vulnerable and traumatized…and tbh it was refreshing (and surprising) to see that kind of awareness, especially in a fandom where one of the most popular ships is between a rape victim and the person who raped them.

Although full disclosure…some of my major ships in other fandoms do have pretty gnarly age gaps. Then again, the younger persons involved are older than Trubel (my age or older). But still. It’s a thing that’s pervasive throughout fandom, and sometimes it’s good to take a step back and consider the implications of that.

I kinda headcanon that while Trubel saw Juliette as a kind, almost motherly figure, she might have also had a tiny bit of a crush on her… but if the mother and daughter dynamic were more substantial, I would definitely not ship it because

it’s pretty creepy to ship people who have pseudo-familial ties even if they are not blood related.

Woah, agreed. And it’s entirely possible, I guess, that Trubel might have had a bit of a crush. I can definitely see that interpretation from the way she acted around Juliette in seasons 3-4.

I actually didn’t even consider the thought of them ending up together in a shippy way, tbh, though I can understand how it might be meant/taken that way. I’ve never shipped Trubel with any of the other main cast, although I know it’s a thing that happens in the fandom.

I would like to see them together as in physically in the same place and supporting each other. But it would be odd and a little squicky for me to see them in a romantic or sexual relationship. Partly because I always did interpret their bond as very mother-daughter or older and younger sister, especially the latter when Juliette became Eve. Also partly because of the way Trubel came into Juliette’s life–desperate, lonely, and in need of so much help–and the fact that she’s about 11 years younger than Juliette/Eve. It would seem a little…predatory? Take-advantage-y? It would be weird.
