* So if Underfist is the last Billy and Mandy related thing to come out, does that mean that Mindy's just sort of permanently a witch now?
** ...yes? At the end of a series, characters tend to kind of...stay the way they were at the end of the last episode.

*** ^That depends on vampire lore. According to Balkanic lore, you have the {{Dhampyr}}, which is a hyrbid betwixt a human and a vampire and the lore isn't clear on how they work or function either. To go with the second point, if we assume genetics are at play, the numbers are still off, as Irwin is 1/25th vampire with his dad, Dick, being directly 1/2, and the "mummy" part is a question that doesn't need to be answered. In terms of Dracula and Tanya's union, it's not clear (in the show or Bram Stoker's book) what type of vampire Dracula's supposed to be either.

*** ^That and, if we assume that Grim sets up/binds his agreements with games and the outcomes thereof, you could argue that Billy and Mandy were playing the game as fair and square with the way Grim set up said game (by balancing the limbo game in his favor), as the rules were that they had to beat him in a game of limbo, just not ''how'' (with Mandy telling Mr. Snuggles "kiss-kiss" when Grim asked if they've had any last words). Since Jack (by virtue of being TooDumbToLive on top of it) got what he wanted by straight trickery and coercion alone, Grim gave it to him but, as per those terms, Jack was also punished (further contrasting the agreement with the main pair, as their outcome was more a reward).

That point was already answered, so I revised that and Jack my answer.


*** If we're treating the agreement like a RL contract, the contract doesn't have any stipulations about cheating or if either party can adjust the terms, so Mandy telling Mr. Snuggles "kiss-kiss" is about as fair as Grim making an impossible limbo game.
