[After Mr. Canis is released from jail]

Canis, looking at a dead houseplant: You couldn't have watered it?

Relda: I did not know that existed until this very moment

Puck: I knew it existed, and I chose to let it die

something has been. bothering me about Canis. it’s stupid and irrelevant but… why does he get younger when he turns into the Wolf. Like we know the Wolf doesn’t just HAVE brown fur because we see it with red fur AND see it actually age, so it’s something else. Is it because… the Wolf has a specific age that’s distinct from Canis? Why?! it’s a spirit. why would it have an age at all??? Does it just turn you into the strongest healthiest version of yourself??? Are microscopic pixies zooming in really quickly to dye his hair every time he transforms???

One of my favorite characters from one of my favorite books series.  Mr. Canis, aka the Big Bad Wolf, aka Tobias Clay from the book series The Sisters Grimm.  If you’re into young adult stories and fairy tale adaptations, give it a shot.

How do ya feel about Canis and Granny Relda? Romantic or platonic (whichever you want to talk abt)

oooo I like this one! To be honest, I ship them platonicly bc I don't think Relda ever got over her late husband. They're totally besties tho

What made me ship them was their chemistry in the books, not to mention how they protect each other pretty much whenever need.

my favorite thing about this ship is how Canis acts like a father figure to all the children Relda 'adopted' (i.e. Puck and Red)

I don't think I have an unpopular opinion on this ship tbh

*gasp* The Sisters Grimm!!! I loved Little Red Riding Hood in that, didn't you???

Yes!

I don’t remember much of the series, but I do remember the one picture of Little Red in the third(?) book scaring me half to death.

I found her to be both sad and terrifying.

we all have those family members who are bearers of the curse

id: a digital drawing of Mr Canis and Red from The Sisters Grimm. they stand side by side and both look worried. Canis is looking at Red and she is looking at him. the background is light blue. a darker blue shadow of The Wolf is behind them. end id

Puck, looking at a plate of broccoli: I'm not eating this green stuff! Ew!

Relda: Good idea, liebling. It's a plate of toxic waste that will turn you into a mutant if you eat it

Puck: [immediately starts shoveling broccoli into his mouth]

Canis: There has got to be a better way to make him eat

Puck: Ahhh...I can feel it working...

okay now list for me the top 5 character in this series you love

OOOH I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASK YOU THAT!!!

I will HAVE to provide justifications for some of these so all of them get em

The Wolf

I considered not putting the Wolf here, but then an apparition of my childhood self materialized and stared at me with profound judgement. I like the Wolf because it’s one of the most straightforward characters in the series, and it’s involved in some of the best character moments as well. It drives SO MUCH of the plot without even being there, and when it does show up it’s so entertaining! Best quotes methinks

2. Sabrina

Sabrina is an EXCELLENT character stuck in a cyclic story with no actual acknowledgment of her true inner conflict. She’s fundamentally a good kid, but is put in TERRIBLE situations that constantly traumatize her while DEMANDING her best behavior, and she’s eleven years old. I care her!!! I really appreciate how a lot of us agree she is good even if she didn’t always act that way, and deserves better than what she got.

3. Baba Yaga

look what do you want from me. she’s cool. an icon, persay. I like characters that throw other characters off their rhythm and force them to acknowledge what they ACTUALLY prioritize and fear. She also has some great quotes, and I just think it’s funny how she trapped everyone in Ferryport Landing but is SO scary nobody gives her crap about it. we’re told it took THIRTY EVERAFTERS to kill her in the bad future. GIRLBOSS

4. Red

she’s so brave and I love how she was so warm towards Sabrina and the Grimms even tho it must have been a scary situation for her. She might have actually been MORE heroic than Sabrina in the last book because she INTENTIONALLY sacrificed herself to a dangerous magical entity, just to save someone she’d known for like… a few months. I wish she hadn’t had to do that, but things would have likely been way worse if she hadn’t. She’s good and sweet and also a really interesting character.

5. Mr. Canis

I have complicated feelings about him. He has these moments of kindness and insight, but a lot of the time it feels like he prioritizes the wrong things. As a kid i liked how he took responsibility for his anger and seemed to at least partly see Sabrina for who she really was (an intelligent but scared child trying to defend herself). I think his core of always stepping in to protect a child should have gotten more focus than his self-and-externally destructive side.
