trying out a different brush pen for coloring!! this is a scene from chapter 10 of With All the Hope and All the Doubt by QueenScarletTheKing on ao3 :) it’s part 2 of a series, and I highly recommend checking it out for a fun au, hilarious and emotional writing, the boys being dumb, nimona being a cat, and a great journey of how anxiety is different depending on how you’ve lived!!!

not gonna lie, I drew the kitchen the way I’ve been picturing it in the fic but I have no idea if it’s accurate

#nimona #nimona 2023 #nimona art #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister x ambrosius #goldenheart #fanart of fanfiction #finley cannot draw #so crazy how the Nimona hyperfixation is like. taking over my life #I thought for sure good omens would bulldoze it #I guess nimona is healing my inner child?? and honestly healing my current self too #anyways. #watch it if you haven’t. read this fic if you haven’t.

These Nimona headcanons are kinda angsty cause I’m bored

I think it’s a genuine shock for Ambrosius when he finally realizes he gets to make his own choices

Sometimes it’s small things like choosing to grow his hair out and stop bleaching it and what he eats that day

And sometimes it’s bigger things like what he’s going to do with the privilege he was born with and what he wants to do with the rest of his life 

He was probably raised to believe that his voice and his body weren’t his own and all of his choices should benefit his family

And because of that he kind of has a little bit of an identity crisis 

One night Bal woke up to the sound of an electric razor and he went to go check it out cause he assumed Nimona was experimenting with their hair at 3 am again 

He was kind of shocked to find Nimona shaving Ambrosius’ hair while he sat crying in the bathtub 

But he didn’t question it he just sat next to him and held his hand while he went through a lot of complicated emotions 

I feel like it takes a while for Bal to stop acting like he’s on the run

When situations get stressful he’ll eat like he’s rationing 

If there is a controversial time in the kingdom he’ll leave the house with his cloak even when it’s 100 degrees outside 

It took him a long time to get back into his hobbies because he wanted to keep his belongings small and portable 

And it takes a lot of time and even more help to finally recognize those habits and break them

And it’s made twice as hard because Nimona has the same habits and will subconsciously fall into them 

Which sucks because after being on the run for so long all she wants to do is settle down for a very long time 

The trio also has massive trust and abandonment issues 

It takes a long time for Nimona to trust anyone that isn't Bal or Ambrosius   

If he does let someone in and they betray him he doesn't even think about giving them a second chance 

But it always hits him hard and it takes him a while to recover 

Bal is very wary of maternal figures in his life

He also doesn’t trust anyone from the institute/nobles as far as he can throw them (except Ambrosius obvi)

Ambrosius also has that same distrust and every time he goes to work he acts like he’s walking on eggshells

But he knows he has to be there to fix the problems his ancestors caused 

But their trust issues are nothing compared to their abandonment issues 

The first couple of months living together were tricky

Because they all have abandonment issues but they’re also very independent people

After a while they all figured out it was best to communicate where they are most times 

Even if it’s incredibly mundane and feels stupid to announce to a group of people “I’m going to work” when they leave for the day

It just put the rest of them at ease

So Nimona will leave notes before they go on their little solo trips

And Bal will call if he’s going to pick up supplies and won't be in the lab for a while

Ambrosius will text them to say he’s caught in another meeting so they’ll just have to eat dinner without him

Even with these steps they all have their bad days and sometimes those bad days sync up

Mostly on anniversaries of big events like the knighting ceremony, or the day the wall fell

And on those days they decide to take care of themselves and each other by sitting in the living room all cuddled up and watching stupid movies to cheer them up

I'm just so happy for trans kids that the Nimona movie exists. It's a movie that almost all children can watch but could be instrumental in teaching trans children in particular that they ARE loved and that they aren't monsters no matter how many horrible bigots and violent christians want to, quite literally, kill or harm them. The world may treat you like a monster, but that doesn't make you one. You're many things. Good people exist and will love you and you don't deserve all the hurt that the world has inflicted upon you.

It's a movie trans kids of all ages need now more than ever.

#nimona #these are just my thoughts #its a movie made by a trans person that is 100 percent undeniably a movie about being queer #sorry my tag cut off that was supposed to end in Being a Queer Child and the traumatic it can be #ypu get it

[bunnyfella]

Nimona is a great example of non-fandom-ified found family but I guess thats whats yall are doing anyway

#he is not her dad she is not her daughter. to me. let it be a weird mix of chaos cousins who are basically siblings and #the 'older' sibling cant be identified because . i mean. ballister is 100% a middle child but no one who doesnt know him can tell #shes 1000 years old Dude. #theyre the cool niefling and uncle. the cousin chaos duo. siblings who enable each other. i could go on. #anywho #my post #nimona #<33333 #NOT ME MIS-TYPING THE FIRST TAG i aint gonna fix it. bal he/her. ok. whay about it lol

I don't know what's scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart, or that sometimes, I just want to let them.

Nightmares were no stranger in the GoldenHeart household. Even if the Institute was gone, and with it the Director's influence, that didn't keep all three people from sometimes jerking awake after their dreams showed them their deepest fears. Ambrosius was haunted by visions of his lover lying in a pool of blood, arm nothing but a stump, while he's helpless to save him. Ballister is plagued by visions of the Queen's death, always left wondering if he could have saved her.

Nimona?

Nimona's nightmares consisted of Gloreth. It would start off happy, with her carrying an elated Gloreth on her back as a horse. Napping amongst the foliage and exploring the forest with her. Then, it would shift. Much like her.

"No, Gloreth, wait!"

"I'm not a monster, I promise!"

No matter what she pleaded, the dreams were always the same. A sword pointed at her heart. A gaze that bled uncertainty, ignorance, distrust…

"Go back to the shadows from whence you came." With that declaration, pain. Blinding, burning pain. Then…nothing. A vast expanse of nothing that left Nimona feeling hollow. Like someone had scraped out her insides with an ice cream scoop.

'Gloreth?'

'Boss?'

…

'Ballister?!'

….

"DAAAAAD!" The scream jolted Ballister and Ambrosius from a rare bout of restful sleep. Fast little footsteps thundered down the hall and both men jumped up. Bal ran to the door, throwing it open. There, standing in the hall, was a frantic and very confused…

"Nimona?" Bal inquired. He looked…younger. Smaller, with longer hair that was a darker red than usual. Big pink eyes looked up at him,and tears began to spill over as Nimona let out a wail. Ballister had her in his arm before he could think. He turned to Ambrosius, who stood in the doorway shocked.

"Grab my arm, Bambi." Ambrosius reached for him, before remembering what he meant and running back into the bedroom. Bal sighed, turning back to the panicked child in his grasp. Nimona clung to his nightshirt, hiccuping and sobbing.

"I'm not a monster, Daddy, I'm not!" She wailed. Ambrosius returned, helping Bal put on his arm. He stood, scooping Nimona up. As he cradled her to his chest, Ballister pressed their foreheads together.

"I know, Mona. I know. You're not a monster. I know, it's ok. You're ok." She threw her arms around his neck, still sobbing. Ambrosius came closer, petting her hair.

"It's ok, sweetheart." He murmured. "They're the monsters, for sending you away. What happened is not your fault, ok?" She peeked up at him from her hiding place in Ballister's shoulder, sniffling. Ambrosius wiped her tears with a smile. The trio migrated into Bal and Ambrosius' room, and the former sat legs crossed on the bed. He cradled Nimona close, letting her cry into his shirt. Finally, she seemed spent, and went limp against his chest. 

Ballister gently kissed the child's cheek, humming softly as he rocked. Nimona cuddled into his chest, sighing. Bal hummed sympathetically.

"Bad dreams, kiddo? That's no fun." Nimona shook her head with a sniffle. Ambrosius sat beside Ballister and brushed a strand of hair from Nimona's face. With a deep sigh, he guided his boyfriend to lay back down on the bed. The pair curled around Nimona, both holding her and soothing her whimpers with soft reassurances. Eventually, she fell asleep, and the tiny child was replaced by a stockier teen with a far more shaved hairstyle. The scared furrow of her brow remained, even in sleep. Ballister and Ambrosius made eye contact, and the blonde smirked.

"Dad, huh?" Ballister let out a breathless laugh.

"Not a word to her about this tomorrow, Ambrosius." He ordered, albeit quietly. Chuckling, Ambrosius leaned in and kissed his boyfriend. They snuggled into the soft pillows, soon following Nimona into a peaceful sleep. All the rest of that night, no nightmares plagued the GoldenHeart household. And if there were, they'd face all of them together.

Val: So....it's been a couple years now

Ambrosius: ???

Val: Nimona, lil ember, remember that thing we talked about before?

Nimona: The thing....oh...oh! The thing! Right!

Ballister: *just woken up from a nap and going to the kitchen for a glass of water*

Nimona, smiling and turning to Bal and Ambrosius: Abba, Appa can I get a little sibling???

Val, desperately trying not to laugh: Well? I'm not getting any younger boys and I'd hate for Nimona to be all lonely without any other grandkids to play with.

Ambrosius and Ballister, slackjawed, staring at Val and Nimona: I-we-er-huh????

Nimona and Val: *finally burst out laughing*

Val: No but seriously, I want more grandbabies to spoil

#nimona #auntie val au #yes Val's technically grandma but Nimona still calls her auntie #And yes I'm projecting my own experience of being asked when I'm having kids #by my younger cousin no less- #child please I can't handle that responsibilo #*responsibility yet-* #babysitting you in my teen years was enough-

[madlad-sadgal]

I've seen similar stuff being addressed about how Nimona had to see a whole city being built to protect itself from her specifically, but I still want to address something, which is about the development of technology.

Think about it. Nimona is, at least, 1000 years old, and may be older. The first true contact she has with humans goes wrong, and there starts the building of the wall, the Institute, yada yada yada. But the thing is, she is inside the walls with the rest of the people, and through 1000 years, she has had to try to blend in and adapt to all new things.

She watched the people slowly discover electricity, phones, cars, guns, video games, movies, flying cars! And she was able to adapt to all that!

People who grew up in like the 1950-60's have trouble adjusting to today's technology, and yet she is the equivalent of someone who was born in the early 1900's and lived to see everything grow to today.

And not only that, but most things were aimed against her as well! Advertisements for cereal or board games were about slaying her (Slaying your hunger (With Kwispy Dwagon) and slaying monsters to earn points (The game we see the kids play in the advertisement at the end)).

Even the movies! In the zombie movie she and Bal are watching, they're talking about them being "immortal and invincible creatures" and are scared of them so they attack! Everything, from the board games to the weapons are advertised against her! The city was built to protect itself against her! Everything was built because of the fear she caused!

So yeah, just another reason to feel bad for this sad gremlin child we all love.

NIMONA SPOILER RANT!!!

Soooooo I watched it a bit ago and OH MY GOD???????

The way they gave nimona a more pear shaped body as a kid really meant a lot to me, u don’t see that many kids like that in media, and as a child it felt like because I wasn’t like kids on tv i took up more space than I was supposed to (the good old “why do my thighs look like that when I sit” and “why are my shoulders wider” and ofc! The “why isn’t my face as thin as them?”) IDK I HAVENT SEEN LOTS OF PPL POINT IT OUT BUT IT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME??????

Altho Merida rlly helped me out w that but kids are still rude!

Bal also put out so many questions, like why do we feel we need to prove ourselves to other people? And why does it tend to take up a bigger seat than our morale? And the way it started to erode off his character was so realistic I feel also because they were so throughout with it, they didn’t just show the viewer “love urself” they actually DEMONSTRATED how that position FEELS

It felt like it was happening to YOU

And I really love they made a character gay without making it a CONFLICT, it feels like whenever people try to make movies about queerness, they can get lost in the homophobia and conflicting gay identity, and it can sometimes overshadow over the characters themselves (their intentions, feelings, etc replaced by labels and social customs so much that the character is just lost), and in the end of it, it leaves me super unsatisfied because I never KNEW who this was even about!!!

But here yes it was a plot point, but the characters felt real, like they actually loved each other, it made this conflict between feeling like one has to choose just a million times more important

I CARED about what happened to these characters

I feel that a part of that is how they made goldenloin the screentime of him regretting what he was going to bal, like u saw the raw, unresolved conflicts in his eyes every time he cornered him and ofc the “im fine, commander” scene REALLY just completes it all

If this movie was around when I was a child, I think it would’ve saved me a lot of heartache and maybe would’ve made me feel a bit better about being “too much”

And a lot more if I saw it when I didn’t know what my identity was (fun fact- I still dunno!)

And THE ANIMATION. THE ANIMATION. THE ANIMATION.

Ima just say- I’ve never seen characters melt onto each other that well, and even LESS in 3D ANIMATION??????

Also nimona’s unapologetic feral energy and how it both brings her up and throws her down- I just discovered a lot of myself in her and idk i guess I’m trying to be kinder to myself and ruder to those who aren’t kind to me (??)

I’m still figuring it out lol
