“Being a girl is… easier.”
“For who?”
Nimona you and I are the same. Nimona I am not a girl. Nimona if I don’t shapeshift I’ll die. Nimona if I am not true to myself then who am I. Nimona easier for who? Nimona everyone wants to run me through with a sword and sometimes I want to let them.
I don’t owe people simplicity. If all people will see me as is confusing and unnatural then I will be confusing and unnatural. I don’t owe people and explanation. I am me. I am ME. I AM WHO I AM AND THAT CANNOT BE TAKEN AWAY. If all people will see me as is a monster I will be a monster. I will not explain who I am. I am me. That’s all I’ll ever be.

Obsessed with lovers and piners calling the object of their affections their best friend. Like yessss blur the lines between platonic and romantic love. show how important they are to you in a multifaceted way. Cover up your feelings with another kind of love that is just as true. One type of love does not negate the other and but tragedy can rip both out from under you single handedly, and it will hurt so much more that way. Losing a friend and a lover. Gaining both and not needing any labels for what they are. Using labels but having it be so much more than a title. Were they friends before they were lovers? Or were they lovers whose friendship grew inside of their love? Unclear! Who cares!

ND Stevenson when presented with an angsty gay blonde-brunette best friend duo who are both brainwashed and manipulated in a military upbringing until one of them starts to question things and realizes their life is a lie but the other believes their best friend betrayed them which results in them becoming mortal enemies who try to kill each other before finally saving the world with the power of love and getting together...

I've seen Nimona say "get a room" a lot in reference to goldenheart PDA in front of her, but may I raise you:
Nimona actually doesn't care. "I'm 1000 years old, Golden Groin, you think I haven't seen things? If you two want to fuck in front of me, be my guest."
Bal and Ambrosius have never gotten a room faster.

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.

when people complain about “too much gender-fluid/non-binary/trans rep is with shape shifters” I counter with: every gender-fluid/non-binary/trans person WANTS TO BE A SHAPE SHIFTER

one great detail i absolutely love about nimona is that when ballister and nimona were up against a batallion of soldiers, they fucking decked them without breaking a sweat especially ballister like have you seen his moves? if i were up against him i would've dug a grave of my own cause there's no way in hell im fighting a guy who can wave a sword like a dance ribbon that man is a beast who the fuck would try and headbutt a soldier wearing a literal metal helmet and shakes it off like it's nothing????? no concussion???? blunt trauma????? he had proved time and again why he's on top of his class and im not even surprised ambrosius was the only one who can keep up with him (couple goals fr)

when nimona first shapeshifted in front of gloreth, gloreth was a little freaked out, but more just shocked, and then they went on being friends. it was only once gloreth’s parents told her that nimona is a horrible monster that she finally turned on her. this movie isn’t subtle in the least with its themes, but i like this part of the movie because it really shows just how imaginary and baseless (for lack of a better way to phrase this) the fear of monsters (i.e. trans people) in society is. children, like gloreth, when left alone without any societal influences, will be faced with this Other, Different thing and accept it, just go with it. befriend them.

it's fun how "villain gets tricked into confessing on video and now everyone hates them" is usually the resolution to a kids movie (monsters inc and coco do this for example) but i think the director from nimona is the only villain (that i've seen at least) who's wily enough to get out of being twitter cancelled
