Bal is one of those people who isn’t allergic to anything except one random medication that no one uses
Ambrosius calls him a lucky bastard every time it’s brought up because he’s allergic to everything
His allergy list is at least three pages long and he doesn’t remember a single thing on that list
Whenever they go out to eat Bal has to remind him “No you can’t eat that it has olives” “Not that either love it’s got lemon” and so on
Most of his allergic reactions are pretty tame so he’ll eat it anyway
And it gives Bal and Nimona so much fucking anxiety
One time Bal walked in on Nimona chasing Ambrosius around the kitchen yelling “Spit out the carrots Nemesis you don’t even like them that much!!”
Whenever he eats alone he refers to it as a game of Russian roulette
Bal refers to it as the reason he has high blood pressure
Because Bal and Ambrosius grew up in the limelight (for very different reasons) there are a million pictures of them through the years
And they use those videos to bully the hell out of each other
Bal can quote the video from the beginning of the movie not because it was an important moment in his childhood
But because Ambrosius will quote it at the most random times throughout the day
Bal will do something small like kill a bug or chase out an animal that Nimona brought in
And he’ll hear Ambrosius mumble “I’m here to slay monsters and protect our kingdom”
He was a little worried Nimona would react badly to this habit but he started joining in
One time he killed a spider and Ambrosius asks “Are you slaying monsters moonbeam?” Nimona yells from the other room “I’m so proud of him he’s truly protecting our kingdom”
There are a million photos of baby Ambrosius on the internet
And Bal made a PowerPoint presentation ranking their cuteness factor out of 10 (100 was the lowest score he got and it was a picture of him with the ugliest bowl cut you’ve ever seen)
And made Ambrosius sit through it
That was the most loved and mortified he had felt in a long time
Nimona uses low-quality pictures of them as reaction photos
There have been times when Nimona asks “Can we eat out tonight” and Bal tells her no and she sends him this
He’ll text back “Is that my fucking wanted poster?!”
She asked Ambrosius if there was any ice cream left and he said no he expected her to call him and complain he didn’t expect this
He calls her yelling “When the fuck did that happen?!”
And she hangs up immediately to let Bal deal with it
Constantly thinking about quest deadlines. Like, I understand there needs to be not only the danger of monsters and gods and such, but also the clock ticking for the storyline to be so compelling, but also like DAMN you’re choosing 12 year olds to TRAVEL ACROSS THE COUNTRY and you’re giving them what? A week? 10 days? It varies, but every time WITHOUT FAIL the gods are like “oh yeah btw you know this life threatening journey? Be back on Monday”.
Additionally, they do this to kids, 12-15 year olds who have DISABILITIES!!! Bro can get an extra 30 minutes on a standardized test with an open book policy but GOD FORBID he gets more than seven days to fulfill a heroes quest. You can’t look at me and tell me this is not just another “tee hee fuck you” from the gods, like less than three days into their journey in the Lightning Thief, Percy, Annabeth and Grover were like “hey we have time, let’s go completely off track and go see the Gateway Arch! Let’s not take this margin of free time to try and get ahead, I wanna see some cool shit!” And I support them, I adore them, but really? You’re looking at Mr. Jackoff and his ragtag band of hyperactive, vaguely autistic preteens and you’re like “yeah they’re gonna get there on time”. Be SO FR right now.
