#but so will bal and nimona…

#i just rewatched the last wish for the 15th time and I forgot how great fighters Puss and Kitty are #they’ll beat u up #but so will bal and nimona… #i genuinely don’t know #nimona #balister boldheart #puss in boots the last wish #puss in boots #kitty softpaws #polls

Like the majority of society I’m obsessed with Nimona

And I rewatched it a million times and one thing always sticks out to me 

There are moments when Ambrosius is surrounded by light like a little protective bubble 

That keeps him away from the man he loves more than anything 

#nimona #nimona 2023 #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister boldheart #ballister x ambrosius #goldenheart #he always looks so small in these scenes #like the light is going to swallow him whole #it almost looks like a little kid wearing his parents clothes #like he’ll never live up to the expectations society has placed on him #this man is so lonely for the whole movie #poor baby had to figure out everything by himself #he looks so tired in the second picture #the thing that kills me is in the last scene he tries to leave the bubble #but Bal shoved him back in #bubba looks ethereal throughout the whole movie #this movie man #it kills me slowly #I love it so much #I’m gonna go cry myself to sleep now #people from the rise fandom know I only post angst when I’m sleep deprived

[finleycannotdraw]

the idea of them being a family after the events of the movie is literally controlling my thoughts

of course when I finally draw something for nimona it’s absolutely ridiculous <3

#nimona #nimona 2023 #nimona movie #ballister boldheart #ballister blackheart #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister x ambrosius #finley cannot draw #THEYRE EVERYTHING TO ME #ILL DRAW SOMETHING WITH BAL AND NIMONA TOMORROW SO I CAN POST MY PLAYLIST

[alpacahat67]

the idea of gay dads post-nimona movie ending is so funny to me because imagine you're ambrosius and you and your husband adopted this little shapeshifter that just found your husband one day and your child looks at you and tells you that she had a baby gay relationship with your great-great-great-great-great-etc-grandmother about a thousand years ago like id be so distraught /hj

#nimona #nimona film #nimona netflix #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister boldheart #ballister x ambrosius #goldenheart #ambrosius being a direct descendent of gloreth was something i wasnt expecting #i love it though tbh #the parallels between bal + ambrosius and nimona + gloreth make me cry #bcuz nimona and ballister are so much more alike than either of them would think #and the whole ambrosius/gloreth always being in the light and ballister/nimona always being in the dark #UGHHHHH i love this movie so much

[stammiviktor]

listen it’s all obviously a trans allegory and all obviously beautiful and gutting because of it, but can we talk about the moment when they get back from the quispy dragon fight and Nimona says, they’ve taught little children to hate me, and “I don’t know what’s scarier…”

and Ballister’s immediate reaction upon seeing the depths of her anguish, of the way she’s been cast aside and made to feel like worse than nothing, made to want to just DIE, is not to doubt or pity her but to say, Nimona, we are getting you out of here. This situation is bad for you. I don’t care what it costs us, we’re getting you away from this, we’re leaving, together.

Never mind that Bal’s entire world is within these walls, never mind that he was literally JUST saying he thinks leaving the walls of the city is incredibly dangerous. He’s getting her the fuck out of here.

#so many kids need this and they don’t get it #but she got it. and it meant everything to her in that moment #just like bal accepting that she breathes fire #nimona

I love the film version of nimona but I do find it very funny how they’re like ‘ambrosius cut off ballister’s arm but he didn’t mean to 😢😢😢 he was just traumatised and reacting to a dangerous situation 😢😢😢’ whereas in the comic it’s like ‘ambrosius shot ballister with a laser canon that took off his whole fucking arm just because he couldn’t bear to lose lol. Lmao, even’

#nimona #like obviously there’s more to it than that but the contrast is very funny to me #comic amballister are bitter exes who’ve been fighting for a while #whereas movie amballister are more like boyfriends who have briefly fallen out so it’s a very different dynamic #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister blackheart #ballister boldheart #inch resting to me also that they renamed bal #amballister

[epicfirestormer]

*Clenches fist* thematic color scheme,, opposing narrative before converging and becoming one,, Nimona being the one to both push and close the gap between them,,

#THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME #ITS THE LITTLE THINGS LIKE THESE THAT MAKE ME GO CRAZY #I love looking at tiny details like this and go :O #aLSO Y'ALL KNOW THAT SCENE WHERE NIMONA MAKES A MURDER WALL FOR BAL AND IN THE CENTER ITS AMBRODIUS #WITH AN ARROW OVER HIS HEAD. AN ARROW #CUPID'S ARROW. HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE. #Im in love with these two #ballister x ambrosius #ballister blackheart #ambrosius goldenloin #nimona spoilers #the fire burns #nimona

[soulless-bex]

i’m still not over the fact that an entire nation went “ah yes, this man, who worked his ass off for years become a knight, would totally murder the queen, the very woman who allowed him to walk down this path. makes sense”

#theyre all so fucking stupid #like. come on. the whole thing was filmed. couldn’t someone go back and view the footage? #maybe then they would have seen that bal looks a tad too surprsed for a guy who supposedly planned to murder the queen on live television? #ballister blackheart #ballister boldheart #nimona #nimona movie

[soaked-doors]

I think one of the biggest things we missed out on in the movie adaptation was ballister and ambrosius’ 15 year long divorce. but not bc of character development losses but bc we lost out on ridiculous banter like this. they’re literally megamind and metroman

I loved their little spat at the institute bc you get like a crumb of gay pettiness from ballister. “well if it isn’t the golden boy” good lord. imagine how much more pungent it’d be had it festered for a decade and a half

Obviously the time skip being condensed to a few months makes way more sense but can you imagine how harrowing it would be to go straight from the arm chop to a title sequence with a “FIFTEEN YEARS LATER” tag below it

#nimona #concept art ballister was also older and grumpier we totally lost out on silver fox dilf ballister #who said that #but seriously bal functionally being dr doofenshmirtz is like. so funny. on every level #anyways #goldenheart #'biro speaks

[stickylizardcave]

I'm well aware that I'm probably alone on this hill but this is basically my ideal dynamic for them. Sorry not sorry lmaoooo

#goldenheart #ballister x ambrosius #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #nimona 2023 #nimona #alors art #suggestive #literally everyone else sees Bal as the perma-bottom and i am so so sad bc they were both so switch-coded to me </3 #and I KNOW that if A/B/O gets popular enough that its gonna be omega Bal all the time every time #so i will stake myself on the alpha Bal hill and simply perish here by myself rip me #(also yes im well aware of the omega Am fic thats on ao3 rn i am kissing it so deeply you have no idea)

A peek at something I started. He may or may not be looking at Ambrosius

#Nimona… is now a comfort movie at this point so I idly doodl stuff when I can #Getting better with drawing Bal though 👏 #ballister blackheart #ballister boldheart #nimona #nimona 2023 #wip #my art

[a-dumb-sarcastic-bisexual]

Nimona headcanons cause I love this chaotic little family

I’ve seen a lot of people say Ambrosius is a morning person and Bal is a night owl 

And I have to respectfully disagree 

Will Bal pull some all-nighters in the lab? Absolutely 

But this man is the most early bird coded character I’ve ever seen in my entire life 

When he isn't fully invested in a project he can't stay up past 10 pm

He wakes up at 6 am refreshed and barely needs caffeine 

I’ve also seen a lot of people say he’s a dedicated coffee drinker but something about this man screams “Coffee gives me migraines” 

Ambrosius on the other hand 

That’s an insomniac if I’ve ever seen one 

He’ll get ready for bed around 9 and then stay up til 3 in the morning

Poor babe needs coffee in an IV

He used to wake up really early back in the institute cause he was forced to run a mile every minute he was late to class 

And he’s a heavy sleeper so after the wall came down and he quit being a knight he wouldn't wake up before 1 pm even with Bals help 

And Nimona is just as bad 

Most nights Ambrosius will leave the room because he moves a lot when he can’t sleep and Bal is a light sleeper 

He’ll sit in the living room watching tv while trying to sleep and most of the time Nimona will join him 

Every once and a while Bal will find them laying on top of each other on the couch and will take them back to their respective beds 

And if you’re wondering what their favorite show to watch together is it’s those house-flipping shows 

But not for the reason you think

Most people watch those shows cause they think it’s inspiring 

Ambrosius and Nimona talk about how terrible these people are at their jobs  

They’ll go on hour-long rants about how these people are stripping the houses of everything that made them a home

(Ambrosius is a sentimental bitch and would be a maximalist after leaving the institute prove me wrong)

When Nimona is bored she’ll go into the city disguised as Bal or Ambrosius 

And she’ll fool literally everyone it’s a pretty common occurrence for the boys to be at home and then they hear the other swearing like a damn sailor because there are already news articles about it

The only people she can’t fool are Bal and Ambrosius 

Bal will shut them down almost immediately 

They’ll walk over to Bal and won’t even get a word out before Bal says “Shift back Nim you’re freaking me out”

They always make a big deal out of being caught making big decorations like “I’m getting better and one day I’ll fool you” 

And he’ll hum in agreement but he knows that it doesn’t matter how good he gets or how observant he is he’ll be able to fully copy every little detail 

The details that Bal has spent the past decade and a half remembering  

You know the little things like how he can’t say Bal or Nimona’s names without smiling even when he’s pissed

Or how he scrunches his nose when he laughs 

Ambrosius always acts like Nimona tricked him

He’ll let them get comfortable in the character and then he’ll drop the bomb 

Something small and inconspicuous like “Hey Nim do you want pizza for dinner?” and they’ll excitedly proclaim “Hell yeah pizza!” 

It takes them a second to realize they’ve been played and when they do they never make a big deal about it

They normally just mumble a curse or two and walk away with their tail between their legs (literally)

The first time Nimona tried to trick Ambrosius was when he was having one of those days 

You know the days when even breathing feels like a fucking battle

This was in a really awkward period too

Like right after Nimona and Ambrosius started trusting each other but right before they really started to get to know each other 

But she knew the boys well enough to know if Bal came home to a sad Ambrosius then he’d be in a bad mood for the rest of the day 

And she knows that the only thing that can cure a mopey Ambrosius is Bal 

She walked into the room and started talking to Ambrosius and was kind of surprised and a little bit peeved about how well she was fooling him

Until he said “You can drop the act Nim I know it’s you” 

They kind of just sat in that silence for a minute until Nimona said the first thing that came to her mind 

“You want me to find my sax?” 

Bal shouldn’t have been surprised to find Nimona disguised as him serenading Ambrosius with the worst freestyle jazz he’s ever heard (which is saying something)

He didn’t even say anything he just sat down and cuddled the love of his life while watching their kid try and play the sax while breakdancing

#nimona 2023 #nimona movie #nimona headcanon #nimona #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister x ambrosius #goldenheart #those dorks know each other better than they know themselves #I'm fully convinced Bal has spent days counting the freckles and beauty marks on Ambrosius' face #Cause they're sappy like that #Nimona isn't the best at comforting people #it's a real learning curve #especially cause these boys have a sadness that runs crazy deep #I'm sending all of these poor traumatized bubs to therapy #this is so long #I think it’s the longest post I’ve made in a while

[slenderboo]

been thinking about how ambrosius is largely shown commanding and acting as a leader to the knights for most of the movie, especially in the movie's climax. I also keep thinking about how he graduated at the same time as bal, and the time jump between then and the rest of the plot can't be longer than a few months.

all this to say that chances are, ambrosius was immediately forced into a position of leadership on account of his lineage, which puts his internal rant to the director in a whole new light

#“a direct descendant of gloreth? I never asked for that” what if I cried #I love noticing lil details like this #it shows just how much the writers thought through the corruption and power dynamics at play in the kingdom #also #this would have still happened if ballister was knighted ofc #so now I'm picturing ambrosius being forced up the ranks immediately while bal is kept from advancing at every turn #just food for thought #or food for fanfiction if that's what you're into #nimona netflix #nimona film #ambrosius goldenloin #nimona ambrosius #nimona

Why are Ballister's eyes so big? So he can see men better??? Thats kinda gay.
