Season 1 Grimm Feels

***

I still haven't gotten around to finding some Grimm icons so I had to make one (or ten. um.) quickly. Because Monroe. Feel free to snag it. I may get around to doing a proper Monroe icon post but there's no guarantees.

Anyways, I have now finished season 1 of Grimm. The finale made me go all 'LOL H50 COPIED YOU'. Anyway, now I have... thoughts. And feelings. Granted, the former are not very highbrow and the latter largely centre on Monroe, but what can you do.

Yes, I like it, more now that we're moving away from the creature of the week episodes (not that I don't enjoy those) and getting to the deeper story-arch with all sorts of politics in play. Mmm politics. For reference, see my love of DS9 and Babylon 5.

I'll put rest behind the cut just in case.

( About the characters )

( About the fanfic )

Now, I know I promised actual recs but there seem to be more of those than expected so they'll be in a separate post which I should get around to within a few days.

pushkin666: yes dear.  pats your  non-12 year old fluffiness
kat_lair: this is the 'character defining, serious writing, throw in every meaningful and poetic metaphor i can, because of feelings' fic
