Spoilers for the Grimm Finale
These are my thoughts on the end, including questions, and headcanons.
I seriously cried. Like 100% CRIED when everyone was dying, but, from my earlier times watching the series, I had already googled their fandom wikis to see if they died at any point and the wikis said they were alive, so I knew they'd survive EVENTUALLY. I knew they'd come back.
That didn't stop me from crying. ESPECIALLY with Rosalee and Monroe, when Rosalee smiled at Monroe and he was trying to sob and then Nick came over and held Monroe's hand as he died and that SCREAM oh my GOD.
Thank GOD for Mama and Auntie Burkhardt/Kessler because Lord knows Nick is 100% ready to sacrifice the world for his family.
When everything was fixed and Nick was hugging everybody and he said "—what it felt like to lose everyone I've ever loved—my family—" When I tell you I BALLED MY EYES OUT.
Diana is the BEST character ever, and the fact that she remembered and told Eve "you're a hexenbeist again" And Eve's reaction of "... Again???" And Diana looks at Nick and she smiles "he's gone. He didn't come through. He's dead" Or whatever she said and Nick just crouches down and hugs her.
When he hugs Hank and Wu I'm pretty sure that's the ONLY time we see him hug them (or anyone except for Rosalee, Juliette, Adalind, Trubel, and Monroe), which just shows how much they meant to him and how he officially said "fuck you" To not expressing how much his friends mean to him, because you KNOW watching them all die made him regret ever not telling them how much he loves them and not appreciating them while they were there, so you KNOW Nick was telling them "I love you" Every chance he got after that, and no one was complaining.
To the epilogue thing: was the entire story just Kelly writing down his father's history? And Diana said "mom and dad are waiting for us" Does that mean she calls Nick "dad"? Or does Kelly call Renard "dad"? Or both?
The TRIPLETSSSSS??? It's canon that they all grew up to be Friends??? Do Diana and Kelly call Monroe and Rosalee "aunt and uncle"? Do they consider themselves cousins? Do Wu and Hank have kids that they also grew up with? Is "aunt Trubel" A thing?
What about Bud? Did he and his family just pack up and leave Portland? Why don't we ever see his family or his kids (unless those kids in s1 that were spying on Nick were his kids)? Do his kids and him and his wife have a place in their life?
What if the next generation, not just the main kids, but the next generation of all wesen in Portland and other places, they all grew up with the legacy of the Good Grimm and his Wesen Family? Less fearful tales to run or kill Grimms, less about their horrifying eyes and blades, more about "when I was a teenager the Good Grimm saved my life" Or "don't run or attack when you see a Grimm, dip your head and they will spare you" Or "I grew up with tales of Grimms, that they'd kill me. The one I met killed my old life and gave me a new one." Just GOD I could go on and on.
The cheeky little grab of the Staff from Kelly, they grew up to be normal siblings with abnormal circumstances. I LOVE IT.
Diana still has her full power, but can she woge? She never needed to woge before, and not all hexenbeists need to woge to use their power, but due to the circumstances surrounding her birth, can she woge? And at that, she's a Princess, the only living descendant from the throne aside from Renard, that we know of. Did Renard take the throne? It was never said what happened to Vienna after the king died.
Also, can we talk about how shitty the Black Claw plot line was wrapped up? I understand that NBC cancelled the show and they had to jump to the end when the show easily could've gotten at least the full last season instead of the 13 episodes it was given. If they had been able to have a full last season it could've been wrapped up nicely. With a bigger show down than the Nick vs Renard fight, and a bigger wrap up than "yea Black Claw's been wiped out" With absolutely no explanation as to how.
What ever happened with those kids from the Peter Pan episode? We should've gotten something because I'm pretty sure they were being recruited to Black Claw or SOMETHING. And we never get answers.
What ever happened to Zuri? Like did Eve kill her trying to get information from her? Did Black Claw put her out of her deaf, blind, and mute misery? It was never explained.
I honestly wish we got a full season because even if it did wrap a little early we should've gotten some cute domestic scenes and a montage of the kids growing up? Like I would've been content if the series officially ended with 21 episodes and the last one could've been like an entire montage of like Kelly's first birthday, the birth of the triplets, Diana's first woge, the triplets first birthday, Kelly becoming a Grimm or whatever he ends up being, Adalind and Nick's wedding, Wu and Hank settling down with someone (or each other), Renard's mother finally meeting her granddaughter, fucking JOSH PORTER showing up as either a Grimm or a Grimm child and almost no idea how to go about raising the child, buying and fixing up the new trailer, their first day at school, telling the children that they can't tell anyone and that Diana can't make things float, Nick teaching them how to defend themselves, Nick learning how to use the Staff, Bud and finally meeting his wife and kids, etc. And then the 20 years later bit.
So I think it's safe to say I'm going to be writing a lot of one shots or just a whole fucking book. Lmk if you want tagged!
