Will you please gif all the Eve scenes from the finale, especially the scenes with her and Nick?? And VERY especially the scene where Nick carries her into the Batcave??? THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Unfortunately, my computer is getting really old and likes to do things like freeze and crash when I try to run Photoshop for too long at a time. So it might take a while to fill this request. But I’ll do my best to fill it! In the meantime, I have made a few gifs from the ep and a lot of others have as well, so check out this tag to see what I’ve reblogged/giffed already from the episode! ❤

BUT…. EVE BEING DEFENSIVE OF NICK. EVE BEING PROTECTIVE OF NICK. EVE BEING WORRIED/CONCERNED ABOUT NICK. EVE CHARGING IN TO SAVE NICK. NICK CARING ABOUT EVE. NICK WORRYING ABOUT EVE. NICK HOLDING EVE IN HIS ARMS. NICK SAVING EVE. NICK REALIZING THE GIRL IN HIS ARMS IS NO LONGER EVE. NICK SEEING JULIETTE BREAK OUT FROM THE WALLS SHE’S BEEN TRAPPED BEHIND ALL SEASON.

I KNOW ANON I KNOW. I’M STILL EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT. THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER. THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT HIM. THE WAY HE CARRIES HER AWAY FROM DANGER. THE WAY HE REVEALS ONE OF HIS BIGGEST SECRETS IN ORDER TO SAVE HER. HIM. HER. I CAN’T OKAY. I CAN’T.

Ah but see, Hexenbeitst side effects. Being a Hexenbeist isn’t a side effect no matter how it happened, plus if it was the being a hexenbeist why is it side effects instead of side effect. Maybe it just means the whole homicidal, cruel, evil changes it made to her. Cause I mean Adalind’s showing Hexenbeists aren’t automatically like that. Unless it is being a hexenbeist, in which case I’m wrong. Hope not though, with Wu going all cave man she’d be the only one with no real protection.

Juliette’s transformation has been referred to, both in canon and by the cast and writers–and in fandom too, for that matter–as a “side effect” or “side effects” since it happened. David is the master of being coy in interviews, so again it’s possible that she’s still a hexenbiest. But I don’t personally find it very likely based on that choice of words alone, just because there’s so much precedent already for simply referring to Juliette’s whole hexenbiest transformation, with rather comically gross understatement, as “side effects.”

Also, the writers have kind of written themselves into a corner by constantly insisting via both Adalind and Eve this season that being a hexenbiest or a zauberbiest does make a person homicidal, cruel, and evil (and power-hungry), whether they want to be that way or not, unless there’s some kind of outside intervention (i.e. HW brainwashing or a suppressant).

Granted, the writers have yet to explain how that jives with Adalind’s current behavior or all of her previous bad behavior while she didn’t have her powers, but that doesn’t unwrite what they’ve written so much as make me go:

Hey there. So I saw the facebook live chat David and Sasha did a few weeks ago, and in it David said before they knew they would get renewed for season 6, the writers had written 2 different scenarios for the ending. My guess is that moment when Renard kills Bonaparte. Like, Renard could’ve killed Bonaparte out of his own free will to redeem himself with Team Grimm. What’s your take on it? My brother said it totally seemed forced that way, but I want to know what fellow Grimmsters think.

I hope if they wrote a different ending in case of cancellation, it changed more than just Sean choosing to help Nick. Because while that would have at least slightly given his character the option of being redeemed in my eyes, it wouldn’t have even remotely provided closure for the series’s multiple unfinished plot threads or any of the characters, including Sean.

So…if they wrote two different endings, I hope it was more like two different last-thirty-minutes, not two different last-three-seconds.

Are Nick and Adalind Stiller together?

It’s a bit difficult to say, but on balance I’d say…for all intents and purposes, no.

It’s not as if we got a traditional “break-up” scene, but Adalind did leave him and doesn’t appear to have any plans to return to him any time soon. Add to that the fact that they’re both pretty wrapped up in surviving their respective situations, and somehow I think their relationship status is probably so far down their priority ladder that it’s fallen off the bottom rung.

If or when they actually have the time and space to revisit that question again, a lot of things will have changed. Juliette is back, and it’s clear from Nick’s behavior toward her that he hasn’t moved past his feelings for her, as tangled and convoluted as they may be by what happened last season. And Adalind now has a daughter who’s shown something of a volatile streak towards people who aren’t either of her parents trying to date either of her parents. 

Granted, she didn’t seem to have a problem with Nick toward the end of that episode (and may have even acted to save him and not just to punish Conrad for hurting Adalind). But still…that might change if she were to see Adalind and Nick together, especially if the first thing Nick does in season six is go all decapitare on her dad.

So basically, it’s complicated. But for the moment? No, they’re not.

Ugh Sean bugs me so much now… it just seems like a 1000% degree turn…

There are about a dozen moments in which I would have forgiven Sean if he had just stepped the fuck up.

But I feel like the last one has well and truly passed for me. And that was that moment with Nick at the end of the finale. For like half a second I thought Sean had finally, finally stepped up and done what he should have done all along: protected the people he cared about.

I would have forgiven him for siding with Black Claw. I might have even forgiven him for killing Meisner, if he had just chosen in that moment to save Nick.

But no. It wasn’t Sean. It was Diana, punishing the man who hurt her mother (while Sean stood by and watched). Diana, protecting her family. Diana, a child, doing what a grown-ass adult wouldn’t do for reasons no child should ever have to understand.

I don’t think I can forgive him after this.

So is Juliette back now? DID THE MAGIC STICK REMOVE HER HEXENBEIST-INESS? I mean I love Juliette but Eve is a bamf in her own right.

It’s not really clear at this point! I mean, if I had to guess I’d say the stick removed her hexen powers and restored all the emotions stripped away from her by HW’s “training.” But we saw so little of her that I’m almost afraid to guess!

At any rate, I think it’s clear that Juliette is definitely back, and I cannot wait to see what the writers have in store for us next year!

Gotta be honest, I lasted 5 minutes before I bailed tonight. I don’t know if I can handle this episode. I really don’t know if I can handle another show making my favourite character *evil/bad guy* again and watch wondering if they’ll die….

I completely understand. That’s how I felt last year watching what was happening to Juliette. I did a lot of screaming at my screen then, too.

@pixiedustandbluebutterflies and I have talked about this a bit, and the way we see it, there are only a few possible explanations here:

  1. Sean has really gone all the way over to the dark side. This was always in him and we just never saw it because it was so hidden (this would be bad writing and a complete character assassination, imo).
  2. Sean has really gone all the way over to the dark side. This was always in him and we never saw it because we didn’t want to, but it was clearly there (this would be terrible but also really good writing; I could grudgingly get on board with this).
  3. Sean is playing some kind of long game of his own, and doesn’t really believe in anything Black Claw stands for (this seems less and less likely with each episode).
  4. Sean is doing this all for his daughter, and doesn’t really believe in anything Black Claw stands for (this also seems less likely after that last episode).
  5. Sean went into this initially to save Diana, but Diana has been controlling Sean since the moment Black Claw brought her to him (this is the one I’m hoping for tbh, it would explain so much).
