#angel Ballister

[luciano-nightstar]

Sharing some of my unfinished Nimona aus because... well... I just thought of sharing it, Part 1.

I call this the Golden Guardian au

Same events for this au, but Ballister is a guardian angel

He was originally Gloreth's guardian angel (not sure if I should do it before or after she met Nimona). Before her death, Gloreth prayed for someone to protect her descendant and guide them to good. And since Ballister was her guardian to begin with, he got a new job to be the guardian angel for her descendants for the next generation until the bloodline has ended.

Ballister took his job seriously to protect and guide Gloreth's descendants so that they could end up in heaven. After seeing at lease 3 or 4 generations feeling pressured to be like their great grandmother, Ballister decided to pretend to be a human and befriend those descendants to help them cope with their pressure in being a perfect knight. He saw how much he helped ease their anxiety, and decided this would be a normal thing he would do for the next generations to come.

Now to Ambrosius. Ballister thought of a different way to get close and befriending to the young Ambrosius, which is to join the knight. For two reasons - Since Ambrosius has been training since probably after being a toddler, he would feel comfortable to have someone close to train with him. - Second reason is that he noticed how awful noble's perspective are with commoners are. And Ballister believed that he can change the mindset of people about commoners by pretending to be one then becoming a knight and protecting them.

So he shapeshifted into a commoner kid then snuck in and, with the power and kindness and help of the queen (may God bless her kind hearted soul), he was given a chance to become a knight.

(Oh how that different approach backfires badly...)

Same thing with the knighting ceremony, the queen unexpectedly gets killed by Ballister's sword and he takes all the blame for it (I can't decide if I should have Ballister lose his arm or not or have angelic regeneration and regenerate a new arm)

Alternative path 1

The stadium screen crashes on top of Ballister, but he surprisingly survives and escapes through the hole on the ground that was made from the crash.

Ballister finds an abandoned tower and hid in there to process what has happened to him. In the end, he decided to return to Heaven to apologize and beg for forgiveness from the queen for killing her, even though it wasn't his fault. And she forgives him because she knows he wouldn't do it.

Ballister returns back to earth to continue his job as a guardian angel, only to see that Ambrosius was a mess because of the whole ceremony incident, Ballister is now wanted in the whole kingdom, and he thought that Ballister dead because of the stadium screen crashing on top of him.

(That's where I left off with alternative path 1, and I don't have enough ideas on how to finish it, sorry not sorry)

Alternative Path 2

Same thing with the whole plot of the movie. Ballister tries his best to find who murdered the queen and prove his innocence.

Nimona (who's still a shapeshifter in this au) finds him in the tower while he was still in his angelic form. They first thought that he was a fallen angel because of the murder incident.

”Should we pillage a village? Oh! Maybe make a cult? Or, lay low until they don't remember and then we RISE LIKE A FIERY PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES AND OVER THROW THE GOVERNMENT! And the people will scream “AHH THE EVIL COMMONER KNIGHT IS ACTUALLY A FALLEN ANGEL AND HE HAS COME TO DESTROY US!!”...…or we could just talk. :)” "I'm not a fallen angel."

He attempts to shoo away Nimona. Reasoning? He doesn't want her to get hurt because of him, he sees him still being too young to even be involved in any of this (Just so you know, Ballister is one of the angels that existed before earth was made)

Skip to near end of the movie (I'm running out of ideas, help me). Instead of Nimona sacrificing himself it's Ballister, he transforms into his true angelic form and destroys the cannon before it could hit the kingdom. Nimona and Ambrosius hoped and prayed that Ballister would come back, but all there was left was white ashes slowly falling like snow flakes, Nimona hugs Ambrosius who hugs her back. Both mourning over what happened.

Physically Ballister is gone, but he was already an angel to begin with so he will regenerate his physical body back again. As soon as he destroyed the cannon he wakes up in front of the gates of Heaven with saint Peter asking if he's okay. He turns around and sees the Director falling down to the fiery pits of Hell (deserve).

Time skip, Nimona gets (platonically) close with Ambrosius only because it would be something Ballister would want from them and everyone sees Ballister as a hero and honored him.

Nimona goes back to the lair where she first met Ballister. She goes inside looking around her, reminiscing of the things they did together there. They smiled as he decorated the "murder wall" and saw one of the pictures that they took together during their small dance celebration. She held the picture close, then- "hey kid." "HOLY SH-"

I am debating if I want Ballister to reveal that he was a guardian angel to Ambrosius or not...

Alternative path 3

It's the same as path 2 but after Ballister sacrifices himself, he was sent to the courtroom of Heaven (yes Hazbin hotel refence) and was given two choices. The first choice was that he could stay as a guardian angel and continue to protect the Goldenlion bloodline like he did before, the second option was that he can become human and live amongst the mortal until his death.

(Your choice on which one he chose :D )

✨ Design Ideas ✨

This is kind of what I imagined Ballister's angelic design would look like... now

(Found this on Pinterest but the original artist is critbit on Instagram)

Another idea design (this one is from puFik 🥀 on Tiktok)

(But their Tiktok account name is aleluia._.0 give them a follow their amazing)

But this was originally my idea for his angelic design

He had two gold halos with many eyes crisscross, covering the upper part of his face. Those two halos can transform into small hoops earring with eyes incase he doesn't want to use the covering halos.

A third halo slowly spinning behind his head, two eyes under his normal eyes (because angels do have a lot of eyes), six white wings with some gold feathers, a small crystal on the center of his back, and white marking all over his body (I added those last two because I thought it would look cool)

Also, for the clothes... I didn't have any ideas...

Some headcannons as well :)

(some are probably canon to my au, it's your guess on which one)

Ballister can hide his wings, his halos, and his many eyes. He can make himself invisible to humans and other creatures. Another fact about his invisibility is that he can make himself visible to whoever he chooses. (There might be some scenarios where people were called crazy for seeing him when others cant... especially with Todd)

During their training years, Ballister developed feelings for Ambrosius, but since it was the first time he fell in love, he wasn't aware that he was in love.

Even in his human form/disguise, Ballister can see and interact with other spirits.

Since I heard that Nimona can see the dead, I thought of this idea that even if Ballister is in his human form to others, he's always in his angelic form in her eyes.

When Ballister is angry in his angelic form, eyes would appear on his body and even some on the air, and the sound of his voice becomes a chorus (-like?)

His angelic sword can transform into different weapons that he could use. Like from sword, to a spear, then to a bow that can magically generate an arrow when pulling the bowstring.

I have a scenario idea where Ambrosius is out late doing his patrol duty when it suddenly rained. After a moment of silence and getting soak on the rain, Ballister used one of his wings to cover Ambrosius from the rain. And that is when Ambrosius first saw Ballister since the ceremony, with a "new" angelic look.

Another scenario is when Ambrosius is in deadly danger, and Ballister is forced to show himself in order to protect him. That is the first time when Ambrosius saw Ballister as an angel.

This is a lot of information about my au and you can definitely tell that this was my favorite...

Anyways, would you believe me if I said that I also made a fallen angel au called The Blackheart Angel au (it was originally made for the comic version, you can also call it An angel with a Boldheart if movie version) and another au called Celestials au? I will be making another post explaining those two aus and maybe a few more of my unfinished aus as well.

Love this new Netflix genre of "Accidental Dad and his Adopted Problem Child join hands to overthrow the government which has been lying to everyone with centuries of propaganda"

[cloverjester]

What the fuck is with queers and using arm chopping as a love language. Stop.

[sophieorjustin]

Am I obsessed with blondies and dark-hairedes falling for each other ?

maybe.

[mutantchessboard]

Felt my art block vanish when I saw riririkinzi’s blogs, here is the original drawing

[ashfault]

" You dare to mess with us, Goldenloin? "

This AU belongs to me! Where Ballister is from the Underworld Kingdom (aka the demon realm) where as Ambrosius is from the Higher Class Kingdom (aka the angelic realm)!!

(I don't know if someone has the same AU concept, so if someone does, please tell me :33) ( tap the picture for a clearer image!)

Original post was deleted in order to add additional characters I forgot but couldn't go back to add.

[sippingteabythesea]

Each time I rewatch That Scene, I become more enthralled by the sheer anger and frustration coming from Aziraphale (Sheen's facial expressions 🤌). This is the second time Crowley has asked him to run away together, but specifically somewhere Away From Earth, away from the World, away from the things and people they adore and protect. First, it was the middle of an Armageddon. Now, it's when Aziraphale has been presented with an opportunity to Fix Things, make a Difference, have a suggestion box for someone to ask questions and say when a plan is stupid - via Crowley as his second in command - and a chance to bring back that Pure Joy he saw when Crowley created the nebula. And Crowley says no. He goes for the romantic gesture, and Aziraphale understands that, he does. But it still ultimately communicates Us Alone away from this instead of Us Together for the world. And then the trepidation. The oh shit, I really need him, I need the bookshop (the relationship, his tie to humanity, what he cares for), but who he cared for didn't seem to care for what he did when he Thought this Whole Time that had been the One Thing they agreed on at their cores: humans and earth are beautiful and worth protecting.

And then Aziraphale learns of the Second Coming. And that anger is back. Anger that yeah, Heaven's going to kill them, and the people will still be dead, and Crowley chose to run away from duty and a possibility to change things. And now he has to handle this on his Own. He doesn't have his friend. He doesn't have that One Person to rely on who makes everything feel like it will be alright. He gave his proposition with a hope that he could end the loneliness for both of them, and he ended up more alone than before.

And Crowly is coming at this from a whole other angle (heh, whole other angel). Where he knows that won't work. He's seen the writing on the wall, but he won't share it. Because Aziraphale and Crowley have each other, they rely on each other, they help each other, they Trust each other, but this proposition feels as if Aziraphale never Really trusted him becaise he's a Demon. Instead of letting their interactions and experiences be his foundation, Crowley sees Aziraphale refusing to give up the same old narrative. The narrative Crowley thought they had changed Together.

Both sides feel as if that trust was rejected, never there, and only an illusion. They have Lost Everything they built because they both started with different foundations.

Sharing some of my unfinished Nimona aus because... well... I just thought of sharing it, Part 2.2

This the second part of my last post about the tale of the Blackheart angel

(I don't actually know the whole storyline of the comic version. I've seen a few pictures, but not really enough to say I've read it)

After Ambrosius was taken in by the institute, he met Ballister, a teacher who trains the students at the institute to become knights. - (You might think that this is some kind inappropriate adult x teenager relationship kind of shit. But I swear in the judgement of the ✨oratrice mecanique d'analyse cardinale✨ that it's NOT what the backstory is about, okay? Ballister only fell in love with Ambrosius AFTER the event of Nimona)

Ballister would be there to help Ambrosius with his studies and defend him from the other trainees when they bullied him.

Ambrosius first idolize and looked up to Ballister because if his skill and teaching as a knight and because he defended him from the bullies. But in the later years he secretly fell in love with him (like he always would).

During the jousting competition, Ambrosius has to win a joust against his teacher in order to be proven that he can become a knight. Of course Ballister wins the joust, Ambrosius hated loosing and shot Ballister's arm off. - (I am again debating if Ballister should actually loose his arm or have angelic regeneration...)

Skip to Nimona and Ballister's argument. When Nimona scratches the back of the couch and starts to turn a bit monstrous, instead of grabbing the sword, Ballister turns into his fallen form as an act of defense again Nim.

Skip again to the battle. Ballister tries to calm the the monster form of Nimona, but in the end he was forced to defend himself (and the kingdom) by turning into fallen form and defeated the monster with his demonic side (or powers). (So that means that Meredith's device is not broken, ✨yay✨)

Skip to the hospital scene. Ballister did not have a broken left arm because of ✨angelic regeneration✨. Speaking of regeneration, he secretly made Ambrosius's healing progress faster while he was in the coma.

✨ Design Ideas ✨

This is my original idea for his design

Five eyes (Two version if it because I thought it looks cool in my head and I couldn't choose which one) -Version 1: two above his normal eyes and the third vertically on his forehead. -Version 2: two below his normal eyes and the third on his forehead.

Black horns curving backwards with a red vein-like design, two gold halos with eyes criss-cross covering his normal eyes.

Six "burned" wings; The feather color/design is from black on the top, to a mix color of black and gold on the middle, then fading to light gold on the bottom. (why do I have an addiction to adding gold? ;-;)

A long black tail, a red crystal with black vein coming out of it on the center of his back, and black marking on his arms and legs.

Yeah the design is the same as the Golden Guardian but in a fallen form.

Some headcannons

(Some are reused from the Golden Guardian au. Also, same thing, your guess on which one is cannon on my au)

Ballister can hide his wings, halos, horns, tail, and his many eyes.

He can make himself invisible to humans and other creatures. Another fact about his invisibility is that he can make himself visible to whoever he chooses.

Another idea on how Ballister escape other than using his invisibility. There were times when Ballister would have had no chance to escape, and when the guards finally caught up to him, they would see that he was no longer there. I had this idea where Ballister can turn into a shadow and hide within shadows of other objects or just easily escape.

Since I heard that Nimona can see the dead, I thought of this idea that even if Ballister is in his human form to others, he's always in his fallen form in her eyes.

There was a once time during training years when Ambrosius accidentally finds Ballister in his fallen form. But since he only witnessed it once and has a bad memory, so he has already forgotten about it.

Speaking of bad memory. When Ballister is alone and/or comfortable, he would temporarily reveal his fallen form (but only inside the house), and Ambrosius would freak out it. (Cue brosius screaming for the second, maybe third, time of the month after seeing Bal in his fallen form)

I thought it would be wholesome that Ballister would carry Ambrosius and fly with him on a peaceful and quiet night. Sometime Amb would enjoy the ride, sometimes he would be frighten from how high they are and would hold on tight to Ballister.

A few moments when Ballister would secretly use his powers when fighting alone with Ambrosius. But he mostly is against using his powers in battle because "it wouldn't be a fair fight."

In rare moments, Ballister would use his wings to hold brosius close.

Ballister normally has his horns out, but only inside the house. Because Zee likes to look at it, touch it, and even sometimes try to decorate them with gold accessories. Blackheart's tail is actually sensitive to he rarely let's Amb touch it.

There were a few conversations of Nimona trying to convince Ballister to start a cult because of the whole fallen angel thing.

Meredith found out when Ballister was stretching his body and (unconsciously) stretched his wings too. This is my thought on what her honest reaction was. "Oh, cool" *continues to do whatever she was doing*

This is very long, but not as long as the golden guardian version. Anyways, I also tried to color the names and used as many nicknames as I know because I thought it would look cool. Also, sorry it took long, I lost motivation and my au notes.

Peace out~ *locks myself back in my room*

[sir-ballister-boldheart]

So, I did some digging and The Sea Beast (another diverse and visually stunning movie with similar anti-establishment themes) is the only animated Netflix original to get a sequel so far. The sequel announcement didn't happen until several months after the movie was released and it had to remain in Netflix's Global Weekly Top 10 for a good chunk of that period.

So, Nimona fans.....you people know what to do :))

Edit: There is also ND Stevenson's statement here :))

"Golden Guardian AU"

This is my take on Guardian Angel Ballister from this AU, this AU idea was created by @luciano-nightstar (check out their AU right here!

I found this AU interesting and when I saw their ideas for Ballister's design, WOHOHO, You know I had to try drawing it.

I do have alternative outfit designs for him, I'll do it later though, after I finished another art I was doing!

Peace out *indulges in skittles*
