Status Updates From Rumpelstilzchen (The GriMM ...

Herz would have been a FINE name on its own, especially if Boy chose it himself but nooooooo

Are you actually fucking serious.

"das Herz des Schattens”

GOD FORBID Boy have an identity outside of you.

Back again with the “why is is Boy and not Junge” question bc we’re slapping random German everywhere else

I still have no information on what being Rumple’s Heart actually entails. Clearly it’s not that he can’t travel between realms without it since he was doing that long before Boy was born.

And how did Boy’s grandma know his name? And would it have killed Rumple to say “here this golden collar has some of my shadow magic and will keep you safe”?

I’m sorry that’s fucking lazy having Rumple’s SHADOWS fill Boy in on what’s happening
BC GOD FORBID THEY TALK TO EACH OTHER IN A SMUT BOOK

ALSO
Is the heart thing literal?? Like with Red and Oma? Or is this a metaphorical kind of thing??
I’m not holding out hope that we find out

“tightened orbs”
Jail for this alone

Ok no the name thing is pissing me off now bc the explanation makes sense but the execution is off

So the boys are named “Boy” but the girls are named “Mädchen” (the word “girl” in German)? I’m sorry, either commit to the bit and call the girls “Girl” or the boys the German word for boy (Junge)

I feel like we just did this to be edgy

Maybe I’m just not a fated mates kind of person (ironic bc I love soulmate AUs) but idk like YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HIM
YOU HAVENT HAD A MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION

The shadow magick is really fascinating, I really liked that explanation
That being said, I am just not feeling it
Like y’all barely said 30 words to each other before shit got started and I am just. Not. Compelled.
Also, I get it’s a dark romance book but there really is a lot of dub con vibes where I’m not sure they’re supposed to be? Like B doesn’t know anything and he’s dependant on R for survival

Bruh that’s just rude

Ok reasoning for the name is interesting I’ll let them have it

I am not allowed to DNF this books bc I have never intentionally DNFd and I am worried that I will miss important plot points for the last book

BRO YOUVE KNOWN HIM FOR 5 MINS TF

Ok I’m kind of warming to the book

But also take a shot every time Rumple says some version of “submit”/“submitted”

And there’d better be a damn good reason why his name is ‘Boy’

I swear I’m trying but I think I have too much prejudice towards Rumple from the first book lmao
But I’m also just not looking forward to the romance bc this isn’t my thing :(
But on I go for plot reasons ig

Low-key not looking forward to this one bc the dynamic I’m expecting based on the blurb + skimming the reviews isn’t one I’m generally a fan of but I’m prepared to be proved wrong

Regardless, I need more from this universe so here we are

yes yes you are into each other but what about the STRAW 😭 AND THE QUEEN 😭 DO WE HAVE TIME TO FUCK RN 😭

Sam Northman I’m obsessed with you
