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.

You should probably get this out there, but Juliette is still a Hexenbeist. The one time we saw someone having that removed was with Adalind, and that witch ghost thing burst out of her. When Adalind lost her Hexenbeist side the second time that didn’t happen because it was suppressed not removed, so she was still technically a Hexenbeist.

Actually, we have no way of knowing that for sure, for two reasons:

  1. Juliette/Eve was not a regular hexenbiest. The way she got her powers was completely unprecedented, so there’s no way to say for certain that the same rules apply for if she lost them.
  2. The magic stick is brand new to us, and if I had to guess I’d say its use on hexenbiests is also completely unprecedented. So there’s no reason to think that a hexenbiest’s powers being “purged” by it would look the same.

Finally, we do have this tidbit in an interview with David Giuntoli that suggests she is indeed not a hexenbiest anymore:

“Yeah, that stick is to hexenbiests what penicillin is to human beings. It just kind of cures all. The stick looks like it cured Juliette of her mortal wounds, or would-have-been mortal wounds, and in the meantime also kind of cured her of her hexenbiest side effects, I suppose. And we see that with Juliette, and I think that if that moment had happened at any other moment, it would have been a much longer moment, but we were in the process of being ambushed so Nick didn’t have a lot of time to process that. But it’s in the back of Nick’s mind. “

You could still be right. Maybe Juliette is still a hexenbiest, and all it did was break through Eve’s mental block and what Hadrian’s Wall did to her. But if so, all of that woge-ing, convulsing, and de-woge-ing seems a little bit of an odd way to show it.

Either way, it’ll certainly be interesting to see how the team deals with it!

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.
