More random Nimona headcanons
Bal is one of those people who isn’t allergic to anything except one random medication that no one uses
Ambrosius calls him a lucky bastard every time it’s brought up because he’s allergic to everything
His allergy list is at least three pages long and he doesn’t remember a single thing on that list
Whenever they go out to eat Bal has to remind him “No you can’t eat that it has olives” “Not that either love it’s got lemon” and so on
Most of his allergic reactions are pretty tame so he’ll eat it anyway
And it gives Bal and Nimona so much fucking anxiety
One time Bal walked in on Nimona chasing Ambrosius around the kitchen yelling “Spit out the carrots Nemesis you don’t even like them that much!!”
Whenever he eats alone he refers to it as a game of Russian roulette
Bal refers to it as the reason he has high blood pressure
Because Bal and Ambrosius grew up in the limelight (for very different reasons) there are a million pictures of them through the years
And they use those videos to bully the hell out of each other
Bal can quote the video from the beginning of the movie not because it was an important moment in his childhood
But because Ambrosius will quote it at the most random times throughout the day
Bal will do something small like kill a bug or chase out an animal that Nimona brought in
And he’ll hear Ambrosius mumble “I’m here to slay monsters and protect our kingdom”
He was a little worried Nimona would react badly to this habit but he started joining in
One time he killed a spider and Ambrosius asks “Are you slaying monsters moonbeam?” Nimona yells from the other room “I’m so proud of him he’s truly protecting our kingdom”
There are a million photos of baby Ambrosius on the internet
And Bal made a PowerPoint presentation ranking their cuteness factor out of 10 (100 was the lowest score he got and it was a picture of him with the ugliest bowl cut you’ve ever seen)
And made Ambrosius sit through it
That was the most loved and mortified he had felt in a long time
Nimona uses low-quality pictures of them as reaction photos
There have been times when Nimona asks “Can we eat out tonight” and Bal tells her no and she sends him this
He’ll text back “Is that my fucking wanted poster?!”
She asked Ambrosius if there was any ice cream left and he said no he expected her to call him and complain he didn’t expect this
He calls her yelling “When the fuck did that happen?!”
And she hangs up immediately to let Bal deal with it

If House of Troubles were a band, Molag would sing and play double-neck guitar, Malacath would play bass, Mehrunes Dagon would be smashing the drums, and Sheogorath would try to fit in with a tiny Korg.

So last night I finally watched Nimona and loved it (note, I have never read the source graphic novel)
and now there’s something clinking around my head about the distortion of time and myth becoming legend
Gloreth made her famous stand as a child, and it’s true that she’s the only one who could have driven off the monster, but that’s because she was the only one who’s rejection could hurt Nimona. Her friend.
A child was celebrated for rejecting her friend because the fears of her people. And maybe the wall came later. Maybe the legend grew after her life. Or maybe Gloreth spent her entire life building that wall and building that justification of her betrayal
So you get a society built on Xenophobia. Ruled by a class of people who’s big claim to fame is being related to a bigot. And Ambrosius is not the standard. Todd is the fucking standard. Ambrosius is the exception. But also, Ambrosius is the most like Gloreth, and the one who is set to maintain the cycle
The one with a friend who doesn’t fit in. The one who tries to bring them in but society rejects them. The one who does something monstrous because of other people’s actions.
And it takes most of the movie. Admittedly, less time for Sir Golden Dick to come around on Bal SadKitty. To justify him as the exception, offering Bal the chance to become Gloreth. But in the end, Bal can’t. And Ambrosius still can. Destroy the monster. Destroy his love. But he breaks the cycle. He stands against the institution and the weight of his legacy and everything expected of him.
And this is something Bal can’t do. Because Bal is a monster too. Because Bal is the other.
And it’s wildly important right now for people who are seen as part of the in group to take a stand. To not let someone else tell you who is a monster.
