All the Greatest Beaver Vessen Moments in Grimm

I am a big fan of Grimm, and... this may sound crazy... but my favorite characters are the Eisbeaver Vessen.

Essentially, these are Shifters who can turn into Ice Beavers. They are so 'effen cute. They love Oregon, of course, and they make blankets and bake pies and fix stuff and vote on things in a lodge. It's nice to see some Shifters who have a working democracy for once! Seems like most Shifters are ruled by Alphas or Kings--essentially dictators--but not the awesome Ice Beavers.

The Sheep Shifters in Arcana Glen series might have been inspired a weeeeee bit by them.

For my own amusement, I decided to note all the Ice Beaver scenes, which are scattered across all the episodes. 

I have no idea why, but you might want that list too. (And if you haven't seen Grimm, check it out here.)

Here it is:

Again, you should watch Grimm if you like Urban Fantasy and you've never seen it, or re-watch Grimm if it's been a while.

No show is perfect, and I was especially frustrated with what they did with Juliette. But the romance between Monroe and Rosalie was adorable. They finally redeemed Nick's love life with an Enemies to Lovers romance with the character who had been, up to then, a major antagonist, Hexenbeast Adelind Schade.

Maybe one day, I'll do a post on all the Monroe & Rosalie scenes or all the Nick & Adelind scenes.
