With Pride Month of 2023 coming to an end and the way Netflix has send it off by releasing its new original film that is based on the graphic novel of the same name, Nimona. I have a feeling that people will be talking Ambrosius Goldenloin x Ballister Blackheart for the rest of the year, and might base their future Pride month works on them the next year.

Almost 10 years later and we still FEASTIN.

I remember when this page dropped on Tuesday, July 16, 2013, and Blackenloin/Goldenheart/Goldheart/w/e shippers all collectively lost our minds. Yes, Ballister and Ambrosius are very shippable from the get-go (their hand placement on p.13, Ambrosius on p.21 to Ballister "Are you trying to make me jealous" and his otherwise flirty dialogue, Ambrosius holding Ballister's hand at the bar on p.102, plus little hints and things by Nate on Nate's tumblr), but p.126 was an outright confirmation that it wasn't just angsty and close platonic stuff (with very clingy Ambrosius) that's fun to ship but not exactly canon in the text itself (like you can read it as "oh these two had something" from the get-go but it's not exactly explicit up until this point, and it's a different experience reading the completed comic all in one go versus reading it page by page over the course of a couple years as pages release). The Director's wording, Ambrosius' little blush. Ahh, these beans.

So excited to see the movieeeee

#Nimona movie #Nimona film #Ambrosius Goldenloin #Ballister Blackheart #Ballister Boldheart #they're so soft #ready for them to break my heart again and hopefully put it back together #Nimona webcomic #ND Stevenson #we'll always have gay dads AU too #blackenloin #blackloin #goldheart #goldenheart #even people coming to the comic after it ended in September 2014 were like wow why are you people surprised #my guy it's not the same reading the completed thing #obviously ships can be made from even less than this #and people would have shipped them regardless of any overt canon stuff #this was a big deal #and I love how overt it is FROM THE GET-GO now in the movie #Nimona spoilers #also we weren't surprised we were happy to be fed #like oh the boys getting more overt references to being a couple??? #yes???? #and it just kept going from there #and the rest is history

So

If the ship name is "Goldenheart", suggesting Ambrosius is the dom...

Can we also make "Boldenloin" a thing when we want to make Ballister the dom?

Off tangent... Goldenloin? I don't know... I had a feeling Ambrosius was picked on for that last name.

"So, are your 'loins' actually golden, or are you just being pretentious?"

Cue Ballister coming to his defense, they're both picked on but they both held their own even more working together and so begins the childhood friends to lovers story.

[Edit] I just realize another name of Ballister is "Ballister Blackheart", so like... Another ship name would be "Blackenloin?" or "Blackloin"? Lmao, it's a funnier counterpart but slightly more perfect

#Skye talks #Nimona #Goldenheart #Boldenloin #yeah it's my idea #may as well be the one using it too #Blackenloin #Blackloin

[anaya-of-wolves]

I really want to rp some really angsty stuff with Ballister and Ambrosius.

If anyone wants to hit me up, please don't hesitate to message me.

Will warn you though, I am a decently long replier (at least a paragraph or two), and am willing to play either (with a leaning towards Ballister)

I had the day off Friday so I watched Nimona twice (once alone and once with a friend) and reread the comic within like 24 hours.

"Nimona" movie artbook thoughts

There's so much neat stuff here. Spoilers for the movie below the cut but just dang I love this

So many neat ideas for long-haired Ambrosius. Ponytail Ambrosius! He looks so cute!

There was going to be a magazine cover with "Goldenloin bares it all" and I like to think part of this is in reference to the two pin-ups Nate drew (Pin-up 1 and Pin-up 2). It's neat to see how much they were building up his celebrity in more ways. In other concept art, he was on more magazine covers, and he shows up as part of a parade. There are lots of concepts of Goldenloin fans.

Also this Ambrosius test is amazing. The weird Todd/Ambrosius fusion in motion lol But you can tell they even modified it later to turn it into Todd. He's a bit softer here in a way and just... fun. Todd cosplaying as Ambrosius/having a nightmare/dream about it aldkjalj

It was also interesting to see more confident Ballister. There's an animation test with him fighting some Institute guards, and it's very clear in early concept art (from that popular viral test back in 2021 as well) that he was more confident in earlier production.

More adorable Ambrosius/Ballister moments, and some cute Ambrosius. They're absolutely sweet.

And unfortunately one of the biggest losses in the movie: the amazing stuff they show for Meredith Blitzmeyer. At one point she was going to be covered in magic tattoos.

"For a long time, the character of Meredith Blitzmeyer was in the film. She served many different functions in many different iterations. At one point, she had a magical van that was bigger on the inside. In another, she was covered from head to toe in magical tattoos. And in another, she was the head of a vast underground society, called the Silver Society, comprised of all the magical creatures forced into hiding by the institute. Ultimately, the story went in a different direction, but her design and model were so beloved that she wasn’t lost but repurposed into The Queen." This all sounds so cool (except the repurposed into a character who dies in the first 10 minutes of the movie part T-T).

She has an entire spread. It's neat that she got to show up in some form (when they recycled her design for Valerin), but I love the idea of the Silver Society and her place in it and also Ballister having more friends and just ugh. These designs and world-building are so cool. I wish we'd seen all of them in the movie.

Also finally an eye dings chart! With everything clearly explained lol Neat to know I wasn't imagining some in-between diamond/square shape when Ballister is changing.

And this pride flags spread! There's a drag queen club! I just love all of this!! Seeing them spread throughout the movie is fun but it's neat to see the collection here!

Also this line: "In actuality, there has not been a monster attack since the first, so the fear and belief of the possibility is the only thing keeping the populace in check." It's neat to get confirmation of that.

Also a very much more violent Nimona was in the early/late-ish production lol.

José Manuel Fernández Oli talked on his Facebook collection of concept art about there at one point being an underground of outcast shapeshifters, and I don't know if that's what we're seeing here, but we were at least maybe also going to get more magical people (which matches the Meredith plans)??

Weres? People with fire magic? Satyrs? Demons? Elves? Or just a wider range of shapeshifter people. That would have been so cool.

There are environment designs for the Institute, Ballister and Nimona's hide-out, people designs, a few more test animations they haven't put up elsewhere, more Nimona shapeshifts (more dogs and cats, a second kind of gnome, more of her bulkier, muscular design, more types of dragons, a goat, more ancient Nimona concepts, plant monster Nimona, alien(?) Nimona, etc.). We nearly had goblin Director. Older Gloreth concepts... It's all really awesome.

All in all, a lot of really cool stuff.

Thank Goodness

So Nate tweeted this

And I'm just thinking... (cut for length)

"Yes, We couldn't be happier, Right, dear? Couldn't be happier, Right here Look what we've got A fairy-tale plot, Our very own happy ending.

Where we couldn't be happier-- True, dear? Couldn't be happier, And we're happy to share Our ending vicariously With all of you.

He couldn't look handsomer, I couldn't feel humbler, We couldn't be happier, Because happy is what happens When all your dreams come true!

. . .

That's why I couldn't be happier. No, I couldn't be happier, Though it is, I admit The tiniest bit Unlike I anticipated. But I couldn't be happier, Simply couldn't be happier, Well, not "simply" 'Cause getting your dreams It's strange, but it seems A little, well, complicated.

There's a kind of a sort of cost. There's a couple of things get lost. There are bridges you cross You didn't know you crossed Until you've crossed!

And if that joy, that thrill Doesn't thrill like you think it will Still-- With this perfect finale, The cheers and the ballyhoo! Who wouldn't be happier? So I couldn't be happier, Because happy is what happens When all your dreams come true.

Well, isn't it? Happy is what happens When your dreams come True!"

This is so much of what I was doing with Ballister/Ambrosius in By Your Side aldkjaldj Different perspective because I think it definitely is also main comic story Ambrosius when he and Ballister are still nemeses, but thank goodness. (Also kind of what I'm aiming for with It hurts to be human.)
