I had to find the story and read it because your narrative.

Their lack of communication kills me.

Just share your feelings please.

RIGHT?! Like you’re both moping around being “fake married” and miserable about it, just TALK TO EACH OTHER and realize that you both LIKE being “fake” married already. AGH.

Do you just take slash recs or are you open to het too?

Hey, if it’s good fic it’s good fic! Het isn’t something I go searching for on my own very often, but if you rec it I’ll check it out!

I also, for the record, will take threesome fic, orgy fic, fic that has nothing to do with sex or ships, AU fic, etc. I would LOVE some good femmeslash recs or fic recs that are centered on the ladies of Grimm.

The only things I won’t accept recs for are rape/non-con fic, crossover fic, and mpreg.

(The last one is just because mpreg is a really big personal squick for me, but if there’s a reeeeeeally good fic out there plot/character/writing-wise that happens to have mpreg in it, and you REALLY want it considered for the Ficblog Friday, I’ll at least take a look at it. No promises though.)

You just gave a warning that can be used for four different episodes in Grimm. What episode are you watching?

Hi! Unfortunately those tags could be used for way more than four episodes of Grimm. But if you check the tags, this is actually for our Ficblog Friday, so it’s not an episode of Grimm, it’s a tag for the fic I was liveblogging. It’s called Green Green Man.

Hey, I’ve just started watching Grimm, I’m halfway through the first season, is there anything I should worry about like does it get sadder throughout the series like with supernatural just so I can get myself emotionally ready for it.

fuckyeahnickburkhardt:

You should be fine until S4 – the earlier seasons, especially 1 and 2 mixed the darkness and sadness with humour very well. S4 is a lot darker, but still good.

Grimm also contains lots of storylines about rape, and sometimes they aren’t addressed very well. There is also the blood and gore you would expect from a show like this. If there’s anything specific you would like to be warned about, let us know.

Hi there! I’d also recommend checking our “trigger warning” tag if you’d like to see our list of possible triggers for each episode. We’ve covered a good bit of season one and all of season 3-4; eventually we plan to go back and tag for the rest of seasons 1-2 as well.

I was thinking earlier that Trubel seems more like how she was when she first appeared, clearly, deeply in pain, not full of hope and on the mend like how she left. Also, something clearly happened to Josh by her evasiveness, I wonder if he’s dead?

I wonder the same. Although I like your other theory (I think it was your theory?) better: that Chavez’s people have him and are using him as leverage to get Trubel to do what they want. I mean…I honestly can’t think of a single other reason Trubel would work with these people, especially in secret and (presumably) against Nick and Co. Short of brainwashing or a hostage situation, that is.

Discussion Time! Truhardt/Trubelhardt

replied to your post “If Nick and Adalind do become a thing I might end up dying of laughter…”

I kind of wanted Nick and Truble to have a Grimm thing……*hides face*

Hey, you’re not alone! I see people on my dash all the time who see Nick and Trubel as potentially romantic. I personally see them as more familial–either a father/daughter or big brother/little sister dynamic.

A huge part of that for me is the age difference and the potential power imbalance. To me it’s just a bit weird having a 21-year-old girl who’s spent most of her life alone and traumatized begin a romantic or sexual relationship with a man who’s over a decade her senior and who more or less rescued her from trauma, took her in off the street, and became a mentor to her. There’s just too much room there for an abuse of power for me to see it as a romantic ship.

But again…there are lots of people who feel differently than me on this point! For instance, some might point out that Trubel has also saved and taken care of Nick when his powers were suppressed by Adalind’s spell, so they’ve really rescued each other.

But, eh…the age difference still squicks me. Fandom? What say you? Any other Nick/Trubel fans out there? Or no? Why or why not? Do you see a power imbalance there that could be problematic in a romantic or sexual relationship? Or perhaps you headcanon Trubel as attracted to women/asexual/aromantic?

Luke and Laura did it on General Hospital!

Which was also gross. Listen, I don’t care how many times it has been done (way too fucking many) or how successful it proved to be with viewers, having a rape victim fall in love with his/her rapist is fucked up in the extreme.

It’s also worth bearing in mind that possibly part of the reason this trope does have success with viewers is that like 95% of the things we’re conditioned to find romantic are part of rape culture. Sexual violence and nonconsent are endemic to heterosexual romance tropes.

That’s why people find Adalind and Nick’s behavior toward one another erotic and romantic. Not because it is in any way either, but because our cultural attitude towards sex conditions us to see violence and interpret it as passion, and to forgive/excuse/erase rapists’ crimes easily.

I also think heteronormativity comes into play in the way people ship Nick and Adalind in spite of all the very good reasons not to (and it’s not the only ship in Grimm where this is a problem, mind…just the example at hand and possibly one of the more egregious ones). Just as we’re trained to ignore sexual and romantic cues between same-sex couples and view these as exclusively platonic, we’re also trained to view all interactions between men and women in light of their romantic potential.

Intertwine heternormativity with rape culture, and we’re not trained to shut that “everything between men/women is romance or could be romance” lens off when rape becomes a part of the narrative. If anything, we’re trained to throw that right in there with all this other stuff (fighting, grabbing someone’s arm during an argument, threatening violence, enjoying causing each other pain/discomfort, etc) that should not, by any reasonable or healthy definition, be viewed as romantic.

And that. is. seriously. fucked. up.
