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”

“Do you know how lucky we are? To have had this life together?” Lena replied, eyes glistening with unfallen tears. Her cheek leaned into Kara’s touch - it was colder than usual, and Kara moved to grab another blanket, but Lena’s fingers held firm.
Kara squinted in question and brow scrunched in confusion, but Lena simply shook her head.
“It won’t matter soon.”
“Soon?” Kara parroted, eyes blinking with the sudden wave of tears blurring her vision. “I thought-”
“It’s time, darling.”
The words echoed through their bedroom and ricocheted off the surfaces to land like a ton of bricks onto Kara’s heart.
“No,” she replied - prayed. Surely if Rao existed; if she had sacrificed so much of her life, she could have this one thing - she could have more time.
But colder lips pressed themselves to Kara’s palm in reply.
“No please," Kara said and brushed angrily at the tears abstracting the view of Lena's face. "Not yet; not now. We can still do something. We can… what can we do? Tell me what to do -?”
“Lay with me?” Lena asked, and for the first time Kara could hear the frailty in Lena’s voice. She could see the denial she’d been living with for weeks if not months.
And she wanted to run; to fly; to freeze time. She wanted anything but this; anything but the fading pulse and shallow breaths and gentle smile of the brightest light Kara had ever known dimming before her eyes. It was worse than Krypton. It was worse than every failed save and difficult life choice, because this was Lena.
Lena, who had stood by her side for a lifetime; who held her heart; who never backed down from a fight. Lena who was a life force greater than Kara’s own will or courage or stamina.
Until now. Until death came to her doorstep. Until Kara, fighting back her instinct to fix, climbed into their bed next to Lena. Until Kara wrapped her arms around her wife one final time, and with one final press of her lips to Kara’s, she met it with a soft sigh.

Don't know if this is a hot take, but I think the creators of The Bear think they already gave Carmy therapy...
Ok, let me explain.
I've seen a lot of headcanons and meta discussion regarding Carmy needing therapy in general, but also before anything with Sydney happens. And, although I agree he is not yet a dependable partner that can form healthy relationships... I also think he is already on his way, trying to change, trying to be better, trying. And the reason he is already in the process, is because he decided to go to the Al-Anon meetings. Like, the way those meetings are framed in the show, are in the form of spaces in which he gives monologues while he opens up about what's going on with him... which, in a way, is therapy. Except that we don't hear the feedback he gets, or if he even gets it. But the thing is that, narrative-wise, and even visual-wise, the image we are getting is of Carmy going places to talk and, in a way, heal...
So, it wouldn't make much sense in future seasons for a more traditional way of therapy to be introduced, because we would see the same we are already seeing... you know what I mean? Carmy talking and realizing stuff about himself.
All of these to say that I think the Al-Anon meetings count as therapy for Carmy for the writers of The Bear. And that I wouldn't be surprised if, instead of having Carmy go to a one-on-one therapy, they just make the Al-Anon meetings have more of an impact on him, that shows in the ways he interacts with his family, the restaurant, everyone in it and, of course, Sydney.
