lowkey reading fanfiction in a non-english language is so weird. like i’m reading fanfic in german in an attempt to jupmstart my brain into comprehension before school starts back up and it’s literally the same four people over and over/ shout out to the homies keeping the german bnha fanfic community alive.

I read the comic in one sitting less than an hour after finishing the movie, and wow I have many Thoughts™.

- It's very obvious the two versions were meant to cater to different audiences AND tell different messages. I don't get why people are going "But the comic was better! It had more nuance!" just because Nimona was easier to root for in the movie.

- The comic was written back when ND Stevenson was still trying to process a lot of stuff, so all the characters are morally grey/straight up evil and the climactic battle is between a Ballister who regrets turning against Nimona, even if it was to save others vs. a Nimona who's too hurt to care if her lashing out was going to hurt innocent people.

- By the time Nimona got a movie adaptation, ND was a lot more secure in his sexuality, so the climactic battle was Nimona vs. the Director, the symbol of religious oppression and bigotry. It's not just about your friends turning on you because you're "too much" for them anymore, it's also about a society that would rather bring itself to the brink of ruin than coexist with you.

- (I totally get why people were upset about Ballister's surname change, though. Like come on, the media dubbing him Blackheart just to be mean was RIGHT THERE).

- Nimona's metaphor for not shifting is such a neurodivergent thing. Even in the comic, Nimona's parents insisting she's a monster who replaced their daughter is reminiscent of the changeling myth, which is what many parents thought their neurodivergent kids were—changelings who replaced their "real" children.

- Ambrosius being trained to cut off HIS BOYFRIEND'S WHOLE FUCKING ARM instead of merely disarming him is a very cop thing to do. As much as cops claim they're trained to de-escalate situations, their training still teaches them to treat everyone as a potential threat, and that level of constant vigilance can turn anyone into a trigger-happy/arm-choppy bastard. Even the Director, who can use a sword but probably hasn't actually fought someone in ages, STILL can't see Ballister reaching for the squire's phone without assuming he has a weapon.

- And on that note, the Queen getting killed simply because she was trying to reform the Institution and allow commoners to become knights? That's the best "no such thing as a good cop" metaphor I've seen. Because even if there ARE good cops and they ARE in leadership positions, the system will crush them before they make any meaningful change. It's not a good institution that turned rotten, it's an institution that only exists to spread its rot and refuses to be good.

- That's why Ballister's characterisation is so different in the movie vs. the comic. Comic Ballister had 15 years to come to terms with his trauma and the Institution's evildoing, while Movie Ballister is still freshly traumatised and hasn't found a way to define himself beyond the role he was assigned by the Institution.

- Not to mention Comic Ambrosius was not very noble to begin with and genuinely believed Ballister was better suited to villainy than heroism, while Movie Ambrosius never wanted the glory that came with his lineage in the first place and only antagonised Ballister because of indoctrination he needed to unlearn (which he did, all by himself, after witnessing the lengths the Director will go to just to kill Nimona).

- It really shows how important it is to surround yourself with loved ones who are open to change. Comic Ambrosius can love Ballister all he wants, but he'll still blast his arm off because he thinks Ballister deserved it anyway. Movie Ambrosius will stop to question what "the right thing" even means, even if he didn't love Ballister enough to defend him unconditionally.

I have so many more thoughts bubbling beneath the surface, but I'll probably address them some other day. In conclusion:

Watch Nimona. This is not a request.

I'm sick and tired of hearing ice-cold takes that Batman's a Mary Sue.

So what? So what if he's an engineer, martial artist, gymnast, strategist, forensic scientist, hacker, racecar driver, pilot, detective, actor, CEO, etc.

Bruce Wayne is NOT a Mary Sue.

He's Everything. Bruce Wayne is the Barbie of the DC universe.

Anyway here's my pitch for a new batman logo:

my bro was just thinking logically

#hinata shoyuo #haikyuu!! #shitpost #umm anyways guess who got hit in the face with a ball #and yelled at by their coach #....oops #in my defense i don't play field very often #and my depth perception is.... not there

komori always steals sakusa’s juice boxes, which he always keeps around in his house if his blood sugar drops, and then atsumu makes fun of sakusa for keeping juice bokxes during an interview and sakusa busts out the “i’m diabetic so you’re actually making fun of my disease and an important part of treatment for it” then atsumu gets cancelled for four months

do you ever wonder if Bill is afraid of getting ill because he was sick with the flu when georgie died? like if he was healthy, according to himself, he might have survied, so maybe that ended up manifesting by him being afriad to get ill

i’m fucking back from summer camp and now Ushiwaka’s suffering cause of it

so y’all know how his dad lives in america? he goes to america to visit him every summer, and his dad sends him to camp so that he can improve his english but also just have fun while he works during the summer

homeboy is completely different at camp, he’s a lot louder because as we all know “camp self is your best self” and homeboy is loud and happy and has the time of his life

he’s gotten the nickname tony because he introduced himself as “toshi” because it’s easier for the younger kids in the cabin he was in, so now everyone at the camp calls him “japanesse tony” as a joke because of his head counselour tony

CIT year they made bacon in the bathroom. his HC brough a panini maker and he brought a machete. the panini knife will live on forever. that same week he got bronchitis

during camp he wrote an entire movie script during his rest hour and preformed parts of it on closing night. it was a skit theme for the year, and everyone was confused

he taught like four kids how to wakeboard and conviced his head to waterboard them on the Big D, which is basically a big wooden disk that they pull behind the boat

he had a collection of braclets that all of his girl camper would give him, and he takes them off, but kept every single one

his cabin won “world’s worst ground crew” after getting the zipline rope stuck on the zipline and spent like 20 minutes detangling it with handcuffs tied to it

the short of this entire thing is Ushiwaka doing the thing that the french family does and goes to american summer camp and then shennigans ensue

#ushiwaka headcanons #wakatoshi ushijima #ushiwaka #haikyuu #this has no basis in canon #i just wanted to inflict myself onto a character #i miss camp so fucking much #like literally #i miss the entirety of this place with my whole soul

church thoughts

just came fresh outta church’s bd i have ideas.

so like you know the alter boys that help during the sermon? i like to think and yukio filled that role for years and years until he got older and started playing the organ during sermons instead

rin misbehaved during sermons so he had to sit in the front row pews while shiro gave the sermon like directly in front of shiro and yukio because he couldn’t be trusted to be by himself

also i think the idea of yukio charming the pants off of churchgoers to get like money for fundraisers hilarious and something he would do

like he needs to raise $300 for school or something he just flash his dimples before or after the sermon to a couple of the churchgoers and he’d be set

so there was the whole thing that a fair amount of the players on the Japan olympic team had studied in other countries and i saw a fic where everyone didn’t actually understand but everyone thought they did and were all cautious and stuff

the only person none of thme knew spoke another language was sakusa and he just rolled up when they went against the german team and they were openly strategizing and sakusa just didn’t say anything until after the match

he jsut walked up to them and started speaking fluently

“Gutes Spiel gut gespielt,” then proceeded to have a full conversation with the germans.

[thanatosisactuallythanatoes]

okay but like hear me out.

sakusa would definatley be an english major.

like fucking look at this man. you’re supposed to tell me that he doesn’t have a degree in creative writing and lingustics.

am i just supposed to believe this man doesn’t write poetry and read classical literature. like i just can’t

look at him. he’s an english major. i don’t make the fucking rules.

i can see him in the coffee shop every tuesday like clockwork with a beaning and glasses writing his essay on Dante’s Inferno and it’s impact on the world of literature

i like to think iwazumi has a video of this cause he got it for tooru’s sister and posted it on the offical tokoyo olympic team twitter account moving towards their match

takeru posted a video of him decking tooru and @’d iwa like “14 years and still going strong” or something like that. he had blue paint on his hands and it just didn’t come off for the longest time, so oikawa had a blue fist print on his face for like 2 weeks and had to do a interview like that

twitter went fucking insane

oikawa-sister gender reveal party for still-fetus-takeru and her and her s/o do the like color popper/powder bomb things and one of them hits tooru in the face
