Red string of fate au with Ambrosious and Ballister where the arm that ambrosious cuts off is the one their string is attatched to and now ambrosious has to go through the emotions of the fact he cut off his way of knowing where ballister is and if he’s alright and annanzhxhabhdxhgzgs

don’t be fooled he actually loves his 6000 year old eldritch being daughter a lot

Wow, Nimona did really did say that the threat is just a dream you made up and the monster is a girl who did nothing and teaching your children to hate just means the next generation will grow up blaming someone else for the fires they start with their own torches and there’s nothing outside the walls but a better world and don’t you just want to fucking break something sometimes and- and- and-

Nimona sure is a movie

Also I love how we get to see Ballister open up throughout the film, not only learning to challenge the Institute but also just step down from having to be the perfect knight (so that no one can question his right to be there) to get to be a little bit silly, have some fun, cause some problems and just be alive in a way he didn’t really seem to be at the beginning of the movie.

He’s stiff, he’s formal, he’s terrified of hurting anyone or going against his training or the Institute; he’s nervous around Nimona and her antics, tries to downplay his role and just not cause a fuss. You can really feel the desperation to be perfect and how hard he must have had to work to become a knight, one slip and everyone would have made it such a thing about how commoners couldn’t make it in the Institute.

Then he meets Nimona, and finally gives up on the Institute, and he doesn’t have to be perfect anymore! He can wear shades and take silly pictures with a shark and swing over the couch and grab a sword and have at all those assholes who were always waiting for him to fail; he can get out there and be loud and be himself without having to worry about what other people think of him!

It’s just such a nice, slightly subtle arc to pair with the louder Nimona arc and compliments it so well: Nimona learns that someone believes in her, and she doesn’t have to be loud and angry all the time just screaming at someone to see her; and Ballister learns that he doesn’t have to be perfect, doesn’t have to toe the line, and can be loud and should be angry and is allowed to do something about it!

nimona not even flinching at an arrow getting yanked outta their leg 🤝 trans folk w/ thighs full of puncture wounds
