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

I wrote a snippet for my story instead of homework!
But I'm going to do a read more line cause Ambrosius is trans, and his mom, who I named after J.K. Rowling, dead names him and is super racist. Todd also pops up and is still super punchable, but he's actually kind of good in this bit because Joanne is so much worse.
Ambrosius sat in the hallway of the hospital, his skin felt hot. His vision got blurry as he tried to blink away the tears. Ballister has to go do something at work, so he couldn’t be at the checkup. Nimona, well, the hospital was not the nicest to her. So, he called his dad, and his mom found out.
His mom, Joanne Goldenloin found out her trans son was pregnant at the appointment.
“So, when will Naomi be due?” Joanne asked, her step peppy. Her husband, Henry, just looked at Ambrosius with sad eyes. “I know she’s going through a long phase, but honestly, all kids do.”
“He, Joanne, is sitting right there. Maybe ask Ambrosius when his due date will be. And for Gloreth’s sake, will you show him some respect?” Henry asked.
“Dad,” Ambrosius muttered, “it’s fine. I’m just ready for the results and going home.”
“Oh, but Naomi,” Ambrosius flinched at the loud high pitched perky noise his mother made whenever she purposely dead named him in public, like she was correcting his bad behavior. “Wouldn’t it be better if you and your child were raised in a proper household? And away from that commoner?”
“Mom,” Ambrosius glared. “That ‘commoner’ is the father of my baby. And the father’s name is Ballister. I love him, and he respects me. He gets things that are difficult, you are making things worse right now, more than anything else.”
“Well,” Joanne beamed. “We will just have to raise the commoner out of the baby, won’t we?”
“Oh my, just, just stop talking,” Ambrosius hissed as he turned and stormed away. He ignores his mom’s “But Naomi,” screams until he runs face first into someone. Looking up did little to ease his anger.
“Ambrosius, or should I say,” Todd smirked.
“Don’t you fucking dare, Thoddius,” Ambrosius hissed, breathing in shakily as his eyes water more. “I can only deal with so many bigoted assholes in a day.”
“I honestly heard your mom from down the hall while the doctor was checking out my cast,” Todd responded. His posture eased up a bit seeing the red rage radiating from a slightly pudgy Ambrosius. “And seeing you this angry, once, was enough in school, so this is my ticket to get you out of here so I don’t become a punching bag because of someone else. Besides, your mom likes to hear me talk.”
“I’ve noticed,” Ambrosius mutters, wiping his eyes. “Also, why do you still have the cast?”
“Uh, cause you fucked it up good, dude. Anyway, go before you lose your moment to escape,” Todd waved. “Joanne, hey, how’s the lady of the hour?”
Ambrosius gathered his breath, feeling a hand rubbing on his back, looking to the left slightly, he saw his dad. “I’m sorry, I tried to leave her home, but she insisted. Let's get you some fresh air, son.”

"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.

So we all know Todd shows up at the end with a cast/sling on, right? And the first time I watched it, I assumed this was implied to be from injuries he sustained being launched into a giant electric billboard. He doesn't meet Ballister's gaze because, presumably, he is ashamed of his previous actions. That's the implication, right?
Right?
Well I watched it again and started thinking about just how long that timeskip was meant to be from the climax of the film to the epilogue. The society seems to have fully rebuilt and restructured itself, and even with the best infrastructure imaginable, that would take MONTHS at the very least. Not to mention how long it would have taken for Ballister and Ambrosius's relationship to recover from what it went through (although that's a whole nother topic for another day)
But the thing is, broken arms, even bad ones, heal much faster than that, like approx. 3 months. I mean there could be lasting orthopedic problems, but it surely wouldn't be in a cast anymore?
Now it's possible that the timeskip was less than three months, or Todd maintained more serious injuries that took longer than normal to heal (as one would in that situation, I fr thought he died) but Ambrosius seems completely recovered from being shot with a fucking LASER and while I don't know the average Laser Blast Recovery time, I feel like it's not likely to be less than a broken/sprained arm.
So if this timeskip takes place long after he would have recovered from being tossed into a giant electric screen of his own image, why is he visibly injured?
Countertheory: Ambrosius beat the ever-loving shit out of him. Possibly the minute he recovered from his previous injuries.

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 am so glad James Somerton's career got eviscerated before he could do a review on Nimona. Can you imagine the horrible takes?

short but chaotic Nimona headcanons
One time the boys were going through their baby pictures and laughing
And Nimona let it slip that she doesn’t have any baby pictures cause she was never a baby 
The boys being dramatic sappy dorks plan a whole day where they take stupid family photos 
And Bal being the most dramatic sentimental dork of all even goes as far as photoshopping Nimona into some of their old photos 
These photos were just supposed to be a cute little inside joke that they framed in their living room they never expected anyone to see them
But as time goes on and they make more friends people see those photos and draw their own conclusions 
And maybe Bal is incredible with Photoshop or maybe no one in the kingdom has critical thinking skills because people start to believe Bal and Ambrosius raised Nimona
There is a tw*tter thread of them commending Bal and Ambrosius for training to be knights and saving the day all while raising a child
Someone was talking to Nimona and congratulated her on being so brave
And Nimona was like “Oh you mean the battle with the director?” the person goes "Well yeah that too but I was also talking about your parent's split divorce can be so messy"
Most people know this is just a long drawn out joke that the trio doesn’t have the willpower to debunk
And some people are out here defending this story posting shit like “No a friend of a friend was at the institute at the same time and saw them with Nimona” 
The trio thinks it's fucking hilarious so they never bother to comment on it
In fact they didn't correct anyone until Nimona told the real story of Gloreth’s “Monster”
And they were really dragging their feet on telling people not because they were afraid of the backlash but because they knew the teen parent stories would stop 
Everyone is fully convinced that Ambrosius is the best secret keeper of all time 
He’s fucking not 
He’s a gossipy little bitch but the people who he gossips with are the real vaults 
Whenever he wants to gossip he'll talk to Nimona
And Nimona always drops his gossip onto Bal because he knows Bal will tell Ambrosius  
Bal usually doesn’t gossip but if Ambrosius asks him “What’s on your mind love?” more than once he’s an open book 
But the gossip never leaves their little trio no matter what 
Whenever the trio gets bored like on errand days or long car rides they’ll play a little game 
Basically they compare people they know to random objects or animals 
And they win depending on how accurate the object is or if it makes the other two laugh
Some of the accurate wins were Ambrosius pointing at a wet cat and commenting that it reminded him of Bal, Bal pointing at dog shit and saying “Look it’s Todd”, and Nimona asking “When did the director come back to life?” while pointing at flaming garbage 
And then there are the other answers like when Bal pointed at the air and said “Mom” Ambrosius just turns to him and goes “Bal you didn’t know your mom” and he just goes “Yeah that’s what she looks like in my mind” 
Or Ambrosius pointed at a cemetery and exclaimed “Mom!” And Bal goes “Love your Moms alive” and all he says is “Shh Bal let me manifest”
