Watched Nimona finally, love that lil shit
Yeah so everybody knows this movie is an allegory for people with gender identities that aren't accepted in the greater society, and subsequent suffering those people experience when struggling with that environment. Nobody can look at that movie and say it was just about a monster, come on. There were so many golden lines that could be used word for word about a non-binary or trans person's struggles with their identity and place in the world. The world needs more representation like Nimona 🩷

More random Nimona headcanons
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 
Tumblr media
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 
Tumblr media
He calls her yelling “When the fuck did that happen?!” 
And she hangs up immediately to let Bal deal with it

Everyone Has Talked About “Ballister Cat Eyes” BUT NO ONE TALKS ABOUT “AMBROSIUS BUG EYES”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
l I have a theory that Ballister loves those eyes since Ambrosius always made faces to make him laugh when he was sad.

Goldenheart headcanon:
Ambrosius spent so long believing that Ballister was dead because of him that when the two of them hold hands or sleep beside each other, Ambrosius always brushes his fingers along Ballister’s pulse, whether on his wrist or neck, just to make sure that he’s truly alive. He especially does it after having nightmares, to the point that when he wakes Ballister up, the latter will offer up his wrist and guide Ambrosius to find his pulse, which works as both a grounding method and a way to soothe Ambrosius’s guilt.

Ok I can't find a relevant gif.
But the bit where Nimona is like "even when you see the horn?"
And Ballister is just "like a trumpet?"
It's because he worried it would be freestyle jazz

So, I heard someone on this app saying that Ambrosius has anxiety and I totally agree. Now I would like to add on to that point. Since he’s the descendant of Gloreth, maybe he was never let out of the outside world? What if the director since young kept him in the institution and the only time he had to go out was when it was for his job. And on top of that, what if other people in the institution didnt talk to him much since everyone might think he’s all mighty and shit because GLORETH!! So until he met Ballister, he never really talked to anyone or even struggled talking to people. So in the scene where Ballister tells the waitress “no olives” on their nacho, shows how Ambrosius struggles to speak up for himself and Ballister helps him (this inference credit to the og person who suggested that Ambrosius has anxiety ily). But I may be wrong :’)

Headcanon that nimona wouldn't mind if Bal and Ambrosius adopted kids (she'll be super excited about it actually) but if they ever adopt a pet, she'll flip

OH MY GLORETH I just realized that unlike Ballister and Ambrosius, Todd and the the others were never actually knighted. I bet Ambrosius keeps reminding Todd of this whenever he gets too big for his britches.

Nimona headcanons I wrote instead of sleeping
Sometimes the boys forget that Nimona isn’t human 
Like they’re used to the shifting into animals aspect of Nimona because she does it as often as she breathes
But sometimes she’ll do some really creepy shit like make her arms longer to reach something when she’s too lazy to get up
One time they shifted just their neck to be like an owl so they could turn their head 180 degrees instead of just turning around cause that was “too boring” 
Or he’ll mimic people’s voices without realizing it 
Sometimes he’ll tell a story and suddenly he’s using Bal’s voice 
The first time she did this Bal searched the whole house cause he was convinced that Todd has snuck in
Or she’ll grow an extra arm to hold more shit and they take a moment to realize “oh yeah we adopted a little weirdo” 
They get used to it after a while and the arguments surrounding it are always funny because both the boys will complain and say “I don’t sound like that” and they have to be told “No love you do you really do” 
You know those videos of babies reacting to their parents shaving their facial hair or putting on glasses 
That’s Nimona's reaction every single time the boys change their appearance even the smallest bit they cant shave or wear their reading glasses because if they do he freaks out 
Talking some “help me Nemesis I heard bosses voice but I can’t find him” while Bal was standing right in front of them 
It was the first time he shaved his face in years and he’s never doing it again 
Mostly cause Ambrosius kept telling him he looked like a teenager and it was freaking him out 
I feel like Bal and Ambrosius are those kinds of people who will tell people about the little injuries but neglect the big ones 
Like Bal mentioned that he thinks he sprained his ankle during the fight at the institute but he won’t mention that he’s pretty sure he got a concussion 
(BECAUSE THIS MAN HEAD-BUTTED TWO PEOPLE WHEN HE HAS A METAL ARM) 
(I’m bout to wrap this man in bubble wrap and give him a helmet because wtf) 
Ambrosius will complain the whole day about the fact that he has a paper cut
But will completely neglect to inform his doctors “Oh yeah I can’t move my left arm higher than my waist without pain and I can’t see that well out of my left eye or hear that well out of my left ear do you think that’ll be a problem?” 
It isn’t until Nimona makes an off handed comment about how this super weird that the laser did basically nothing to him that he told both of them
They literally dragged him to the ER because “Who thinks those symptoms are normal Nemesis what is wrong in that pretty little head of yours!!” 
When Bal tells Nimona she’s being a bit of a hypocrite (cause who refers to an arrow as a splinter?) she turns to him and says “I know you’re not saying something Mr. Human battering ram” 
It took literally everything in Ambrosius not to break down laughing
After that she forces them to have frequent checkups with the doctor because these dorks wouldn’t go otherwise
Honestly I'm fully convinced that some people in the kingdom don't know who Nimona is and are constantly confused why they let this little weirdo follow them around 
And finally the curiosity will eat away at them and they’ll finally ask 
Sometimes the boys will give some “normal” answers like “Oh that’s Nimona” and they won’t elaborate at all
Sometimes they’ll give funnier answers like “Oh that’s a raccoon we found in the garage who turned into a person one day” “I don’t know they just showed up in our living room” and their personal best “You see her too?” 
And their favorite that they only started using a couple of years down the line “Oh that’s our kid”

I have a theory that Ballister FAINTED in this scene.
Tumblr media
To start with, Tod and his gang gave him a damn beating.
Tumblr media
Afterwards, he still had enough strength to limp into the city. Afterwards feeling terribly bad to see what happened (tock tock more traumas and lack of confidence entering)
Tumblr media
Then he had the balls to climb a damn tower/monument of at least 5 meters to simply call Nimona (I REPEAT THE MAN WAS INJURED)
Tumblr media
and after reconciling with her friend/daughter/the only reliable person in her painful life up to that point. She “dies” in front of his eyes
Tumblr media
And finally we add that the shock of feeling guilty and feeling that absolutely everything is his fault was so great that he literally wants to kill himself so as not to have to fight with his dramatic life anymore. Yeap
THIS BEAUTIFUL AND TENDER MAN NEEDS THERAPY ToT

Silly doodle I did, it had a second panel with Ambrosito like "*audible overdramatic gasp* OUTRAGEOUS!!!" and a beaming Bal laughing of him like "good Gloreth you're SO dramatic!" -i didn't get myself to finish it past the rough sketch lol-
(based on this one post)

Some sad Ballister and money headcanons
pt 1? maybe?
Ballister has a very complicated relationship to money
Growing up poor, the threat of not having basic things like a home, food, or other necessities hung heavy over his head. He might not have understood the full scope of it, but he was a smart kid and understood enough to feel its affects
He didn't have nice toys, his clothes were full of holes, their meals were small. He knew other families had more, he would see them walking down the street, but knew that wasn't for him or his family
He wouldn't ask for ice cream in the summer, wouldn't complain when they ate the same stew for dinner every day for a week because that's all there was, never cried or whined the few times he asked for something and was told "no"
It bled into guilt. When his mom offered to cut his hair one summer when he was sweating up a storm, he said no. He didn't want to bother her; she already was so busy and stressed. She assured him that it would take five minutes and wouldn't cost anything but still he refused
Or one fall, he helped a neighbor fix his heater (he held the tools) and got paid $10. He was so excited; this was money all for himself! His first thought was to give it to his parents because he knew how much they needed it but this was his money. He bought himself a sandwich for $6. The rest of it he gave to his parents. They didn't want to take it from him but he insisted and eventually they gave in
That night, he cried. He wanted to help, he knew how much they needed the money and how hard his parents worked, and he had selfishly spent over half of it on a single meal. $10 would have been much more helpful than $4 but he just had to treat himself, didn't he? He knew those fancy, expensive foods weren't for him but he bought it anyway
It was around this time that he decided he wanted to be a knight. They were so brave and strong and helped so many more people than he could. And they probably got paid pretty well, their armor was always so shiny
So he would pick up any odd jobs people could give to a kid (walking someone's dog, watering their plants while they were away, sorting recycling from garbage, etc) while dreaming about being a knight. The jobs only paid somewhere between $5 - $10 but it wasn't about the money. He was a hero of the realm and they only needed the safety of their people to be satisfied
But he would go home and count every dollar before he went to bed
When the Queen offered to keep him at the Institute and train him to be a knight, neither him nor his family could believe what they were hearing. There was some back and forth about what this would mean but ultimately, they let him go. He would have food, shelter, stability and all the things they couldn't provide
Joining the Institute was very overwhelming for many reasons but Balister did have to say he did enjoy not worrying about money all the time. He never had to worry about if the lights would shut off or where his next meal would come from. He didn't have to budget his few dollars and didn't feel guilty for wanting things. The other kids had so much stuff, surely he could have some too
This... wasn't totally true. Even though his life was more stable now, he still didn't have the latest sneakers or stories about long vacations to country houses or anything else that these kids had. He tried to ignore it but it was a glaring middle finger to the face every time someone casually mentioned their new pet pony or other ridiculous bullshit
The first few years of his training were fine, they were all using fake swords with plastic armor on straw dummies. But as he reached his teen years and training got more serious, he realized he was going to be left behind again
The Institute and the Queen did provide some things for him but it turns out that most of those kids' families provided their knight equipment for them. Ballister's family would be expected to do the same and he knew there was no way that was going to happen. He had come here to make his dreams a reality but if he had to choose between his future or his family starving/being homeless because all their money went to his armor, he would go home in a heartbeat. It would kill him but, in his heart, he knew it's what he would do
So he went to class everyday with only a sword that wasn't his. Ambrosius gave him a sword when he first got to the Institute and saw he didn't have one. At the time he was thrilled but told him he couldn't accept it, Ambrosius needed it. The blond boy had simply shrugged and said "You can keep it, I have a whole bunch." He was ecstatic to finally get a real-life sword but now it was a reminder that these other kids could trade these thousand dollar weapons like baseball cards. The monetary value meant nothing to them
Despite having a sword already, he didn't have any armor and got his ass handed to him so many times. Turns out having protection against people thrusting blades at you was important. Todd and the other knights made of him mercilessly but he would just have to endure it because there was no way in hell he was going to tell his parents he needed equipment. He was going to have to deal with it himself
At first the Director wanted him to stop training until he was able to afford armor but he begged her to keep going. He got really good at blocking attacks, because if he didn't, he would get hurt, but he knew it wasn't enough
It was nearly impossible because training took all day and then left him dog-tired but he started picking up odd jobs on the weekends again. People paid much better in the wealthier neighborhoods and he could get quite a decent sum for cleaning someone's gutter or mowing their lawn. It was embarrassing that he had to do this while the other kids could relax but it was worth it to not be covered in bandages all the time
He had saved halfway to his goal when he got seriously hurt. Sparing gone wrong, he fell for a fake-out right move and got slashed across his left side. It was bleeding a lot and he was whisked away to the informatory. After he got stitched up, the Queen came to see him. He hadn't expected her but apparently the accident was big enough to reach her
She asked him how this happened and embarrassedly, he admitted he wasn't wearing armor during practice. She was shocked and asked "why in the world not???" After a moment debate, he admitted that he didn't have any. That opened the floodgates, and everything came pouring out. He was ashamed that he got hurt, he was embarrassed he didn't have armor, he was guilty that he didn't ask for help, he was stressed that his parents would help him at their own expense, he was tired from spending every second he wasn't in class working
The Queen comforted him, letting him cry on her shoulder and combing his hair. It only added to his shame, this was no way for anyone to be treating the QUEEN. He pulled away and then the unspeakable happened. She offered to buy him a suit of armor. He sputtered, trying to refuse it, or at least let him pay for the part he had money for but she refused to negotiate. It was unacceptable that one of her knight cadets was left without the basic equipment required to succeed, that the Director did nothing to fix the problem, and that the environment of the Institiute made Balister feel too ashamed to ask for help and got him seriously injured
She bought him his thick black armor and the first day he wore it to class, he couldn't stop grinning. He beat the shit out of everybody who dared spar with him
Time went on and Ballister's armor got chipped and dented but he never wanted to buy a new pair like all his classmates in their shiny chest plates. This armor was old but it was his, he was allowed to have this

I’m bored and it’s late for me, so here’s some Nimona headcanons.
Ballister is ambidextrous.
Ambrosius is the big spoon while Ballister is the little spoon.
Nimona loves to scare Ballister and Ambrosius by changing into each other, but there’s like a 50/50 chance they realize it’s actually her.
It took Ballister awhile for him to fully trust Ambrosius.
It also took Nimona some time to trust Ambrosius.
Sometimes, Ballister has nightmares about the Queen, Ambrosius cutting off his arm, etc.
Ambrosius has nightmares about him cutting off his boyfriends arm, not believing him, etc.
Nimona also has nightmares about Gloreth and everything that has happened to her. They’re all traumatized.
Sometimes, Nimona, Ambrosius, and Ballister go out to dinner.
People often stare at them.
The three of them are basically famous and well-known because of what they are.
Ambrosius is used to it, Ballister is nervous, and Nimona is chaotic.
Ambrosius would wait for however long it took for Ballister to trust him.
Ambrosius fell first and Ballister fell harder.
They can all play various instruments with Ballister knowing drums, guitar, and piano. He also knows how to sing. Nimona knows how to play the electric guitar, and Ambrosius knows how to sing and play the harp.
Ambrosius tries to sleep in while Bal wakes up at the ass crack of dawn.
That’s the end of it for now. If anyone wants more, feel free to ask!

Nimona Headcanon
Nimona can only age/grow when she feels safe on a conscious and subconscious level. Out of a thousand years in the history of the Kingdom, Nimona has only felt safe for less than 10 years. And it was all spaced out over said thousand years.
She has grown more in her time with Bal, consecutively, than at any other time in her life, with the exception being her time as Gloreth's friend.
Obviously, when she comes back to life, this changes. She starts to really grow up.
Feel free to use this if you want.
