I think Todd plays a more important role in Nimona than just to be the annoying bully for viewers to hate. His overt bad behavior removes any possible rational basis someone could claim for the Director's absolute faith in the superiority of the noble class as knights.
Without Todd, the only other high status knight we'd get to know is Ambrosius, who, for all his faults, is still largely the kind of upstanding person knights are "supposed" to be. Without Todd, it would be possible to imagine a world where the Director has only ever worked with knights like Ambrosius and thus is perhaps naive.
But instead we have Todd, openly acting terrible in a way the Director can't miss, indeed, she *doesn't* miss it, even commenting on his behavior directly, and yet her faith in the system and her distrust of commoners doesn't change.
Todd exists to show how evidence alone doesn't hold up to blind faith and fear of others. And this makes sense. The world of Nimona isn't a metaphor for America as a whole, but for the America that exists under evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity, which rejects reason and openness to others and the possibility that it might be wrong, instead favoring obedience to tradition and heirarchy and conclusions-first reasoning. Todd's existence reveals through the Director just how dangerous valuing faith and belief above all else can be.

I love this shot in Nimona
Tumblr media
I mean, have you noticed this picture of Todd?
Tumblr media
It has everything. A drawn person chewing on his head, him saying "I'm dumb" via speech bubble. And a sketch of a fist punching him right in the face

Today I wanted to draw GOLDENHEART ( I love ) to release stress and nothing while I was doing it I remembered the drawings of @mvjerbs I wanted to draw Grethyl ( SHE IS SO CUTEEEE )
Tumblr media
Oh And give Tod a son, called Teddy why not? the boy redeemed himself after all (although I think it was not in his plans to be a dad hehe you know )
Tumblr media
I also think Ballister and Ambrosius would be a little freaked out by how much Teddy looks like Tod hehehe. ( only this child is the complete OPPOSITE )
Tumblr media
That's all!

Came up with the headcanon with my friend that Todd is the only person from the Institute who has caught them together but it didn't matter after all

"Ambrosius is a bad boyfriend because he lead the manhunt for Ballister."
Did you miss the part where Ambrosius stepped up to lead the search for Ballister because if he didn't, then someone else would and that person would not be kind to Ballister? Literally the moment before Ambrosius volunteered, Todd was declaring in front of the whole Institute about how, if he was given the charge of the hunt, he was going to "make it hurt" for Ballister when he captured him and there were people CHEERING for him.
Do you think this is the face of a man who is super stoked about the decision to lead the search for the love of his life?? Literally no one is more heartbroken and disappointed about Ambrosius' decision to lead the manhunt for Ballister than Ambrosius himself

Ambrosius wanted to protect the man he loved and the only way he could do so was by spearheading his manhunt and arrest. That's the fucking tragedy of the situation.

*during their training years*
Ambrosius staring longingly at Ballister while sighing: He's so handsome.
Todd not minding his business: You shouldn't feel jealous of him at all dude, I can guarantee you're better looking.
Ambrosius: I'm not being jealous you dumb-fuck I'm being gay.
