#NBC Grimm

[wesen-grimmopedia]

The Grimm writers were so real for making a wesen whose name directly translates to “bloodbath” and then giving us the softest cardigan wearing, cello playing, vegetarian clockmaker.

Season 1 of Grimm:

Every Wesen @ Monroe: Oh my god, you can't be friends with a Grimm! They are our mortal enemies! They killed so many of our own! You should be ashamed-

Monroe: Ok, listen I know, but he is absolutely useless. This man doesn't know anything about anything. It's literally the saddest most pathetic thing I have ever seen. And he can't speak German.

Nick in the background getting his ass handed to him by a wesen he has never seen before, which didn't stop him from getting into a fistfight anyway.

Monroe: He is different I swear...I can change him... YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

Just thinking about how Nick’s entire arc depended on Monroe’s kindness to him. Just think about it. Nick identified him as Wessen and immediately arrested him and accused him of kidnapping. Without Monroe, Nick’s only resource for the Wessen world would be the trailer, and he would quickly fall into his grandfather’s philosophy. And seeing so many Wessen in his homicide investigations, the biases would be enforced.

And Monroe, despite being raised on the same horror stories about Grimm, and never meeting one before, decides to guide Nick in his case. He decides to extend the first olive branch. He’s not the former villain turned morally gray sidekick. He’s just an undoubtedly good guy.

Top 10 Grimm Scenes: the episode in early season one when Monroe says, “Well, I sniffed her out,” and Nick responds with “Good boy ;)” and Monroe looks absolutely fucking appalled.

What would yall call this

[green5quirrel]

TL;DR: I think Monroe's striking and chiming clocks were underutilized for truly hilarious interruptions when the hour strikes and 5 or so clocks announce it in sync.

I think we've all looked over a very important detail in Nick having stayed over at Monroe's for a time. I feel like I REALLY want someone to explore this in a fanfiction of some sort.

Monroe has several "striking" clocks in his house. A striking clock (or just clock for those who differentiate clocks as striking and timepieces as non-striking) makes sounds every hour, half hour, or can chime every quarter hour depending on the number of mechanisms.

Monroe obviously has a grandfather clock (or grandmother clock as I'm not sure the height of it) thanks to him telling Hap not to touch it. So that is definitely a striking and chime clock. Or has the potential to be as such if it's not silenced. He also has potentially more than one cuckoo clock.

Can you imagine the absolute terror of a person who has never been in a house with more than one striking clock as it hits the hour or half hour for the first time.

Now, ideally Monroe will have silenced most of his clocks. I don't know. I don't have any working clocks. I don't know how most horologists do things at their private homes. If they find the striking nostalgic or welcomed. But let's err on the side that Monroe has been living alone for a long time and actually does find a few chimes and striking nostalgic after growing up with it as his dad seemed to also be into clocks.

Let's layer this with the fact that Nick has very sensitive hearing (though I'm not sure when that happens. I could have my timelines wrong). Despite that, you're just getting to sleep at around 11pm or midnight and for some reason have been oblivious to or accepting of the chimes during the day. Or this is your first night in your friend, Monroe's, house and suddenly the first floor below you erupts in various chimes and tunes.

Can you imagine?!

I'm actually kind of astounded that this was never properly explored in the. In not one scene does any of Monroe's clocks strike despite how long everyone is at his house. I mean, if I had clocks I'd at least appreciate one of them striking.

The point is, I really want to either write or read a fanfiction where either Rosalee or Nick or Hank experiences the sound of an hour in the most unexpected way and grumpily complains to a completely and adorably oblivious Monroe.

(It would also have been a great gag if in the middle of a dramatic conversation it struck the top of the hour and Monroe patiently waits for his clocks to sound off before continuing. And Nick/whoever he's talking to is just like "Seriously dude?" And he's like, "What? ...fine! I'll silence them. Jeez! I didn't ask you to be here anyway, man!")

The enduring female friendships of the women of Grimm will always make me happy (that, and their casual, all the time drinking 🍷)

I guess you don’t need to be a Hexenbiest to be a witch. - Nick

You don’t have to be a witch to work this kind of magic. - Adalind

Because under different circumstances, i think you and i could have really had some fun. (Adalind)

Гримм/Grimm (2011-2017)

renard: well, whatever way you look at it, it's still cannibalism.

wu: uhh, I think it's pronounced "capitalism."

[anonymousmoth43]

"I get it, be cool, wear pants" - Monroe referring to the fact that Nick was coming over WITH Hank, does that mean he doesn't wear pants when it's just Nick? This episode was also super romantic

[wesen-grimmopedia]

I’m going to pretend that I’m not going feral for Grimm after starting to rewatch it, and that I’m definitely not slightly distressed by the lack of active fandom this show has.

[theinnermostsanctum]

Nick: “On my way.”

Monroe: “What is it?

Nick: “It’s a quadruple homicide.”

Monroe: “See, your life’s not so bad!”

Nick: “In the parking lot near the deluxe hotel.”

Monroe: “Oh, that quadruple homicide.”

that awkward moment when you find out your girlfriend and boss have been seeing each other, and then you immediately get called to investigate the quadruple homicide you committed earlier

nick and trubel, the ultimate father-daughter found family duo

i love the found family trope between all the grimm characters, but this adopted father-daughter duo is UNMATCHED and i wanna talk about it.

nick took her under his wing and let her stay with him and juliette because he KNEW what she was going through. when he first started seeing wesen, he had aunt marie and monroe to help him navigate it all. trubel had NOBODY. she watched a wesen kill her foster parents, and she was constantly getting attacked by these monsters that nobody else could see.

when she met nick, he showed her the trailer and the grimm books. he helped her realise she wasn’t going crazy, that he could see them too. i feel like it’s a parallel to aunt marie telling nick the truth when he first started seeing wesen - “… we can see them for what they really are” - telling him that he isn’t going crazy, that this is real.

marie also gives him the books and everything else in the trailer, all of which had been passed down generations of their family, and he lets trubel use them. i know that the others (hank, wu, etc) were also allowed to use them, but this was different. nick had known them for a long time before opening up to them about him being a grimm. him and trubel shared that ability, giving them an instant connection that didn’t exist between nick and anyone else.

i also love how every time trubel comes back, there’s such a pure reunion between her and her dad nick. it really does feel like she’s his grown-up child who’s left the nest and is coming back to spend some family time killing wesen visit.

i’m so glad the producers didn’t push a romance plot between them, because their dynamic is a beautiful example of found family done right.

Ah man, there's gotta be more fics about Nick wearing Monroe's clothes to the precint during winter months cuz they're big and cozier

I wanna see his Wesen coworkers react in surprise when they see a peek of a claiming mark on his neck. Yeah they knew Nick was a grimm who was on their sde but never expected him to actually get with a Wesen

They know it's a blutbad that's for sure from both the scent and the style of mate claiming but they can't help but wonder who it is.

Perhaps when the other Wesen coworkers first caught a whiff of blutbad on him nearly everday, they began to betting pool to see how long it would take for this unknown Blutbad to claim the Grimm

Was it rather strange and very dangerous for everyone? Yeah. But it was it one hell of an uproar when Nick came to work one day subtly reeking of sex with a claiming bite high above his jacket collar for the world to see

Yall know that tiktok thing where people put quotes and match them with characters. I like to be sad.
