if they kill Monroe I (might) stop watching.

My personal policy is not to take promos seriously (they take bits and pieces of the ep that will make you wonder until next week). 

They have at least one episode a year where they hint that something bad might happen to Monroe, but I don’t think you have to worry too much. During the premiere one of the big wigs (I think it was Michael Golamco?) said that we have a lot of Monroe and Nick bromance working together moments this season. And he’s been included in descriptions for upcoming episodes for the season. 

I (personally) don’t think you have to worry about Monroe 🙂

hey did you know about david calling fans? because if he gets 1000 retweets he might call some fans :3

Yes, he tweeted that he might send out a number where he can be contacted if he gets a certain number of retweets. But, this whole season he’s been saying he’d send people all sorts of things if he gets a certain number of retweets. I’d say – retweet if you want, but don’t be too letdown if nothing really comes from it. He also said he’d send us Silas’ phone number a few weeks ago 😉

What is your opinion on Nadalind? I find it really unsettling personally.

fuckyeahnickburkhardt:

I’m glad you asked, Anon. We’ve actually been discussing this among the members of FYNB a bit.

I won’t speak for Liz or Siobhan, but I personally do not ship it at all, nor do I find it a healthy relationship or think it’s something that should be romanticized or painted as positive.

Adalind has done a lot of harm to Nick and the people he cares about. Now some would argue that she hasn’t done anything to hurt Nick in a long time, but in my opinion showing up last season and emotionally manipulating him with the fact that she was carrying his child counts as hurt.

Remember, this isn’t a woman who was in a relationship with a man showing up and requesting that he be a part of his child’s life. This is a woman who raped a man, showing up and using the child that resulted from that rape to make him do what she wants (namely protecting her from other people she’s hurt).

I know they’ve gone to great lengths to make it clear that at least some of what Adalind did in the past was influenced by the fact that she was a hexenbiest. At the same time, Nadalind has been a popular ship in the Grimm fandom long before they ever even began to establish that idea in the show. And speaking in sci-fi terms, just because someone didn’t want to do something horrible to someone else doesn’t mean the person they hurt is any less hurt.

Even right after Adalind raped Nick at the end of season and he was obviously, visibly devastated at the loss of his powers, there were people enthusiastically shipping them. I’ve seen gifs of the rape scene used in Nadalind shipping posts, for goodness’ sake. I’ve even seen flat-out denial of the fact that it was rape in the Nadalind tag.

TL;DR: I don’t ship it, I don’t support shipping it, and I’m disappointed that the show seems to be flirting with that direction. I think it’s one more example of how flippantly mainstream media treats the topic of rape, especially when the victims are male and the perpetrators are female. I understand completely why you would find it upsetting.

Hi Anon – Admin Liz here. Just thought I’d weigh in as well. I agree with Liza 100 percent. I hope that the show runners realize the problems and message that this ship sends. I’m the first to admit that I love Claire Coffee and I really enjoy Adalind as a character, but the history between her and Nick is not something I’d like to see turned into a ship. I’m all for Adalind attempting a redemption arc of some kind, but it’s not a ship I will ever personally be able to get behind for the reasons that Liza listed above. 

Yes, Thank God, is Grimm day today *O* Do you think Eve was evil ? And please, don’t tell me you ship Nadalind too ¬¬

Hi there @sweetweasleygirl, admin Liz here! I don’t think Eve is evil. According to this interview with Bitsie, evil isn’t the right word. Focused and weaponized sound like more appropriate descriptors. I’m looking forward to seeing where they go with it!

I, personally, don’t ship Nadalind. I don’t mind them getting along for the sake of the child, but their history is to violent and filled with non-consensual actions for me to ever be able to ship them. I have no issue with Adalind coming over to the light side and trying to redeem herself, but I won’t ever be able to get behind a Nadalind romantic relationship (whether it becomes canon or not.)

I adore Adalind, and LOVE Claire Coffee, but I’ll always been Silverhardt at… well, heart.

And the most important : WHERE THE HELL IS TRUBEL ?! Or she is safe now ? I can’t watch the full episode last night, because of my internet *cries* Oh yes : DAVID ANSWERED ME LAST NIGHT ON THE Q & A AT THE FACEBOOK AND FAVORITED ME ON TWITTER, MY LIFE IS COMPLETE !!!!! *screaming and dying inside*

I’m sorry it’s taken us so long to respond to your message. THAT’S AMAZING that David answered your question and faved your tweet! Definitely super exciting! And yes, we all can’t wait to find out where Trubel is – hopefully they won’t keep us waiting all season.
