#nimona the graphic novel

[floatybug]

I've been seeing a lot of Nimona fanarts where she's drawn skinny and I want to say that A: this is the movie's fault bc yes she is skinniER there, but also B: don't let anyone fool you kids, Nimona is a chubby gal! I mean I suppose in the movie she isn't, but I really hope people remember or learn that comic Nimona is fat and you can Clearly tell bc her shape is in contrast with every other main character

Edit: the fanarts are mainly for the movie and even in the movie she isn't a complete rectangle, her hips are wider than her shoulders. So yeah. Not even movie accurate. And fanarts don't have to be accurate but for the love of god take time to figure out a body, it's good for you

Yes Ballister is Nimona's father figure. Nimona is, however, also Ballister's parent figure, but in a "cat who has just imprinted on a new human and is now wondering why they're so shit at hunting and is getting kinda concerned that they might starve to death" sort of way

I keep bumping into people online claiming that Nimona comic was like soo terrible compared to the movie, that it was "poorly plotted" and "ugly" art-wise, and what the fuck is up with that. These people sound like they hadn't read the comic at all, and even if they did and didn't like it, that's Alright but nobody gives you the right to harass the novel fans who say they liked the comic book ending more or that the "happily ever aftering" disappointed them. The movie is Very different and I myself like the book ending because there's so few good tragedies that give me this feeling of "sometimes you just have to accept the good and the bad and move on". I really wish people understood the importance of these stories instead of claiming that everyone who didn't enjoy the happily ever after is "homophobic" (ahem I'm queer and trans and this movie made me feel seen, and I still will come back to the book more often than the movie, unless I'm in a very specific mood for a happily ever after that I Wish these characters could have in the book, but they COULDN'T. That's the fucking point.)

It's not just about the way the movie ends, it's about the way it differs from the original book and the message that book had. That's what some people didn't like. I myself think it's great to have two messages with these characters. We can appreciate the tragedy of the novel (TRAGEDIES ARE IMPORTANT AND CATHARTIC AND NOT JUST EMOTIONAL SADISM) and we can smile at the movie's ending which is what we all Want but realistically right now we Can't have. Both have their meaning to different people. Both are important. I love both in different ways. I'm happy the movie came out. I just wish some movie fans would stop ruining the fun for the book fans by calling the novel really unjustified words. It means so much to us and it found a lot of us in very dark times, and to be impolite for a second, if I had some wee punk tell me that the book sucks and is pointlessly sad and the art is bad while they were in one room with me and not online, I would start a physical fight and not regret it at all. The book was my suppressed anger relief and my quiet subtly queer childhood when I was 14. Many people will have the movie as their openly queer childhood. But if any of you think it's okay to disrespect what others hold dear because you don't enjoy it or dislike the art, You Suck As A Person. Grow The Fuck Up.

Another thing, ND started making Nimona as a webcomic, in art school, as a way to share feelings he didn't know how to deal with. He was a regular artist telling his story. I repeat. HE WAS A REGULAR ARTIST. Like many people on this goddamn website. It's okay to dislike things, but calling Nimona the comic poorly plotted or ugly is how you kill the young indie artists' desire to share their personal stories. Styles are subjective, feelings are messy, and if you don't like either of those things and want to be super mean abt it, first of all you're really limiting yourself and will miss so many wonderful and thoughtful works, and secondly IT'S OKAY TO JUST QUIETLY WALK AWAY. And also, excuse you, this book is what gave us the movie. Maybe don't show this level of disrespect, if you can't show respect?

Edit: i got very into the respect for imperfect endings thing But i think it's important to say that the book ending actually doesn't fit the description of tragedy, it's just how I view it in my relation to Nimona's anger, but it's actually very hopeful and the characters Do find love and things are looking up for them in the book! It's not a typical happily ever after but that doesn't mean it's just pure suffering. We have the word bittersweet for that

#i said i say #nimona spoilers #nimona #nimona the graphic novel #nimona movie #obligatory disclaimer i will not engage in discourse and will in fact block anyone who may attempt to troll me #or imply i hate seeing queer happiness #i love it actually that's why i love the movie

I love my personal headcannon that Nimona purrs when she sleeps. It's an unintentional habit she picked up from sleeping as different animals. Also, just the thought of Bal waking up to a purring shark on the couch after movie night is fucking hilarious to me.
