He's a murderer, he's a monster.. He's perfect.

Ballister's villian design creditted to @sefarlen (post)

I've been thinking about their design for a while and finally, at class, it broke me to draw him (the paper rips when I colour T.T...)

[fallloverfic]

Almost 10 years later and we still FEASTIN.

I remember when this page dropped on Tuesday, July 16, 2013, and Blackenloin/Goldenheart/Goldheart/w/e shippers all collectively lost our minds. Yes, Ballister and Ambrosius are very shippable from the get-go (their hand placement on p.13, Ambrosius on p.21 to Ballister "Are you trying to make me jealous" and his otherwise flirty dialogue, Ambrosius holding Ballister's hand at the bar on p.102, plus little hints and things by Nate on Nate's tumblr), but p.126 was an outright confirmation that it wasn't just angsty and close platonic stuff (with very clingy Ambrosius) that's fun to ship but not exactly canon in the text itself (like you can read it as "oh these two had something" from the get-go but it's not exactly explicit up until this point, and it's a different experience reading the completed comic all in one go versus reading it page by page over the course of a couple years as pages release). The Director's wording, Ambrosius' little blush. Ahh, these beans.

So excited to see the movieeeee

Court of Madness

I’m back again with another piece inspired by @mvjerbs’s Mad King Ambrosius piece/AU.

My first piece for this AU

As you can see, this piece includes the Mad King himself and mvjerb’s design for him! He’s a lot scarier in their version, but I think he at least looks mad here. Side profiles aren’t my strong suit but I’m working on it! Also, yes! Ambrosius is slightly taller than Charlotte.

To quote my shower thought from earlier: “Many fear the Mad King and wouldn’t dare defy him. Others numb themselves to his fury. A slim few will stand in his way and walk away with their lives.”

One of those people who can actually confront him on things is, of course, his sister (or half-sister, but I just call them siblings). Although they don’t have the same relationship as they do in my “canon” stories of Charlotte, they’re still undeniably bonded and trust one another. But in this AU, I think they might punch each other in the face if the other one is going out of line. Sibling shit ❤️

I don’t know what the hell Ambrosius is so pissed about, but Charlotte isn’t having any of it. Neither of them are wearing their capes because I wanted to really focus on their body language and that’s more easily achieved if you can see the bodies.

I already have more sketches for pieces for this AU. I’ve never felt so artistically inspired in my life and I’m drawing constantly, so look forward to more stuff!

Additional close up and another thing under the cut

@sadgalwrites @floxu @em10-nimonafan2009

A close up of the sibs! I’d like to draw attention to the respective gold and silver rings they’re wearing. These are sibling rings that Ambrosius got for them for Charlotte’s 16th birthday. While I think they’re generally colder, they still love each other too much to actually get rid of these or even stop wearing them. I love these two so much, even when they’ve gone mad.

This is just something I thought was funny. I pasted that picture of Ambrosius into my canvas so that I could get a good idea of his side profile, and it ended up looking like Ambrosius was yelling at himself. Sort of symbolic or something.

| What if WALL-E, EVE and AUTO ever met Nimona? I will make a good point here:

▪︎ Nimona is born to cause lots of trouble, chaos and she is the embodiment of stubbornness itself. She does own magical shapeshifting powers and magically can change her shape to her own will and also teleport. She has retractable big wings in her back. And she seems to be pretty friendly at first sight. Nimona is very strong and agile and seems to have high speeds when she flies.

Nimona basically being Nimona lol.

▪︎ If Nimona ever met WALL-E, EVE & AUTO from the movie itself I could say Nimona's reaction would be between surprise and admiration since in her world high-tech machinary does exist. She would try to communicate with the robots speaking in her normal language (English) and then testing with other languages. It is known EVE can speak other languages and we could assume AUTO does too.

Nimona could be silly towards WALL-E since he's also silly. Both of them having fun and being happy together as friends. EVE would keep Nimona away from WALL-E because she is kinda trigger-happy and straightfoward and also has some kind of trust issues with foreigners/strangers from other universes. But this could change with time once Nimona shows no signs of hurting anyone. EVE and Nimona could be good friends and could enjoy some friendly flying contests to see who is faster in the skies.

In the other hand, Nimona would get super curious about AUTO's appearence and functions as the autopilot of the Axiom. But before this, let's see how Nimona could react to a huge Kaiju-looking ship:

- Nimona would be more than surprised and amazed. She would literally explore the whole ship to meet new friends and probably look for more sentient robots and become them her friends. Nimona would also try to cause some chaotic episodes provoking the Stewards to stop her. But thanks to her magical powers, she could shapeshift into one of them and prevent herself from getting caught up. Too smart of her. Isn't it?

Returning to the topic, AUTO's reaction to Nimona's appearence and magical powers would be quite rare and pretty uncomfortable for him since science cannot create something called magic. In the world of WALL-E, it is shown up that magic does not exist at all and only sentient robots can exist without problems. Sentient robots aren't magical. And Nimona knows that. BnL must have had to be too smart to create those sentient electronic beings.

Anyways, Nimona would try to talk to him and show him that magic does exist through her only proof: herself. But what would happen if she ever knew AUTO's backstory with WALL-E? I will leave it to you! :3

“It’s not that we don’t trust you,” he rushes to assure her. “It’s just a reality of the situation that we need to be wary. We can’t know where your head’s at all the time.”

“Mm.” She doesn’t sound entirely convinced. He’s not sure he can blame her, knowing the wounds that still haven’t quite healed.

[king0fbr0kenhearts]

Something something something Nimona AU where Nimona and Ballister and actual evil villains and have bad intentions

[bezierballad]

Nimona Shrek AU with Nimona and Ballister as Shrek and Donkey (idk who would be who) and Ambrosius in the Fiona role who falls in love with Ballister and they become Nimona's new dads.

(Also can we talk about how "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett fits Nimona SO well?)

[askdannysroleswapau]

How would Gumball react to this image? :)

(assuming that you mean this in a /lh way)

i think Voidball would be flattered, considering most of their characterization is inspired by Megamind (and Nimona, to some extent) who would consider something like this a compliment

in fact, this sorta reminds me of that scene in Roxanne's apartment with all the hanging scraps of paper where she finally solves the big mystery... god i love Megamind its so good you should go watch it. why has this blog just become me telling you guys to go watch movies recently. what is wrong with me (its The Mucus)

[ashfault]

The Moon and The Sun...

Why did you join the Nimona Big Bang?

I had only just watched the film for the first time when the original sign-ups were happening. I considered it, but ultimately decided that I wasn't invested enough in the fandom yet to commit. Fast-forward to my hundreth time watching it with my flatmate, at least one wip deep already (I don't remember if the cowboy au was around at the time), and I have an idea for another fic. We're a few weeks away from a uni deadline and my project isn't going anywhere good so I decide that I won't start the fic until after hand-in, and I won't even mention it on tumblr to avoid distracting myself. When I do eventually start I think hey, I've made it this far, let's see how long I can keep this to myself. So when I see the post asking for writer pinch-hitters, I've already got 600-800 words of a secret fic that I have a solid plan for, and that isn't going to be an ungodly length like most of my ideas. So, here I am.

Share something you like about the Nimona movie or comic.

This allegorical pink shapeshifter is the thing that made me fully understand why representation matters to people. I'd watched stuff with explicit, literal trans rep before and thought 'oh hey trans person' and 'oh hey trans thing I do that' but I never *felt* anything. I appreciated it more in a 'making trans stuff visible to other people' way than anything, but really it didn't mean all that much to me. But Nimona *resonates*. I don't care if it's not explicit or literal it made me *feel* something, for the first time. And I have theories as to why that is, but without going into all that I can only be thankful to the filmmakers who saw something there and ran with it. I still yell 'cis man behaviour' at Ballister on the train every time.

Favorite characters: Nimona (movie version), Nimona (comic version), the Director

Other fandoms: Beetlejuice the Musical

Other hobbies: I play irish tenor banjo and am working on transfering that skill to mandolin, collect horse brasses and country records from charity shops, and dabble in various arts and crafts.

Is there anything else that you'd like to share about yourself?

I study performance design at university with a personal focus on theatre puppetry, and have just started a project where I will be building a life-sized Nimona puppet. Unsure how much of that I'll be able to share online, but I'm excited.

Hail to the Mad King

Inspired by @mvjerbs latest Mad King Ambrosius piece. I literally saw it and went “well. I’ve got to give him an executioner.”

So, here she is. For those who don’t know, this is Charlotte, Ambrosius’s half-sister. She loved and cared for Ballister a lot as well, so since the Director executes him in this AU, I think she’d go a bit mad too. She and Ambrosius can do mad shit together. Just sibling things ❤️

I tried to give her the same color palette as Ambrosius here and for those of you who already know her, you’ll also notice I cut her hair and shaved her head. Just because.

Close-Ups under the cut

I gave her some light purple bags under her eyes. That’s all I’d like to note here.

Bloodless version

Close up of her sword because I really like her sword’s design

[melongraph56]

had a nimona au stuck in my head for months ever since my friend lent me the graphic novel to read before I watched the film adaption when it premiered

will most likely redesign their outfits, gotta make Zoeya more metal!!

[wizisbored]

first go at some clear references for blood red. fully going for vibes over historical accuracy here

some notes:

ballister has cut his right sleeve short and pinned it up since he doesnt have a prosthetic in this au

he still has his holster on his right hip with the handle pointing back which i imagine would be very awkward to grab with the left hand but hes yet to go through with relearning to shoot left and one handed

in both the comic and the film the red of ballisters cloak (only the lining in the film) matches the shade of something in nimonas design, so i gave him the red back panel here. couldnt find a shade i liked for both of them but its still a nod to that

nimona could still have pink hair, given shes shapeshifting it rather than dying it, but its just the vibes yknow. could probably push it to be a redder shade of ginger tho.

likewise, she could ditch all the dirt and bloodstains between shifts, but she doesnt see the need to. whos blood is that? dont worry about it :)

shes got a slightly oversized 'mens' collared shirt on under her bodice. i put it in quotes because its something she shifted on so its not like it was manufactured with men in mind, but its a traditionally mens shape/cut

shes got a holster but no gun. thats where she keeps her collection of bullets shes been shot with

her horse form is taken pretty much directly from the film but colourshifted to be more of an unusually red chestnut than pink

like in the film she has the same eyes in every form, so she still has round pupils in horse form

her brand is shifted rather than being an actual burn scar

the halter and reins are just a bit of rope that ballister tied around her head when he thought she was just a regular horse, and after she reveals herself are just used to keep up appearances as a sort of real horse disguise

eventually nimona steals a saddle for herself. in human form she carries it around despite the fact that it should be way too heavy for her to be doing that casually

[cosmicluci]

I drew a Spider-Nimona AU, where Nimona is (chooses to be) a Spider-Person. She of course wasn't bitten by a spider or anything, just chose to do have and use those powers (though on occasion she is a radioactive spider). The VeNimona version is partly inspired by her Kaiju-esque form from the end

I still need to watch Across the Spider-Verse, and am looking forward to doing so, but the themes I know both films share led me to do this.

Also, if you haven't, WATCH NIMONA! It's so good! ❤️🏳️‍🌈

[acaciapines]

for the ask game, answer whichever of these speak to you the most: 4, 5, 11, 14 :D

HI ASH MY LOVE ASH.

oh they ALWAYS speak to me. i answer All. i will not be contained.

4. How many WIPs do you have right now?

actually shockingly few! ever since i finished my big owl house editing pass back in june i've not done a whole lot in terms of projects...and recently i've been playing rain world so instead of writing im playing rain world like 24/7. currently my only main project is the dess raises kris au, and in that 'verse the only thing i'm writing right now is a dess/chara relationship study. i WOULD finish it, but, uh. rain world. (<- guy who is trying so hard not to write rain world fic. i probably wont but also i am always tormented by ideas. but consider i have to tell the story of my slugpup scooter SCOOTER I WONT EVER FORGET YOU--)

5. What's a fic idea you've had that you will never write?

probably countless that i do not remember right now! but digging around through my drafts, i've got a few deltarune daemon aus that won't ever see the light of day...one of them was a fangame where the player played as one of kris's two daemons, and the other was a fic where ralsei was kris's daemon. the ideas from there have basically been repurposed elsewhere--a lot of my kris&ralsei stuff went into various works, and the fangame stuff is being reworked into the dess raises kris au.

beyond that, in terms of things that are actually abandoned and won't be used elsewhere, there are so many daemon aus that i've left behind for one reason or another, though the gravity falls transcendence au is the one that i think was the best...that one postcanon his dark materials fic i was gonna write where lyra and pan return to will's world and cause general shenanigans there with him and kirjava...a vera-centric son of sea foam wings of fire au because vera is the love of my life and i was rereading wings of fire bc i felt nostalgic....oh my god fantasy high SOPHOMORE YEAR FIC, which i tried to start TWICE, once from fig's pov and once from ayda's that was their road trip back home and i have some very funny snippets from...MY INFINITY TRAIN DAEMON AU WAIT THAT ONE STILL GOES SO HARD ACTUALLY. okay drop everything ive ever said the fact that i never wrote my infinity train book two daemon au is a travesty. i was cooking with that one.

11. Do you have specific playlists for writing fics?

sort of! i usually always have at least one or two songs i connect to any given fic, but in terms of what i listen to when actually WRITING, it's changed over the years. i used to put on compilations of video game music--usually utdr, pmd, and then just whatever got recommended to me lol--then i did like. those character playlists people make on youtube? mostly bc they tended to pull from the same pool of songs so it became good background noise lol. now i use the youtube mix or whatever its called for a similar reason--it tends to play the same handful of songs ive listened to a lot, so they dont distract me.

14. If you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?

oh i LOVE this question, and it would be without a doubt my nimona daemon au oh, are you at all like me. nimona itself is obviously both a comic and a movie, and i'd say animated film since the fic follows the movie plot more--i think there'd be a LOT of really cool scenes you could get with that fic. i also think i could make killer animatics based on my fics if i could draw good enough <3 and thats not a joke i have scripts and sketch storyboards and everything. maybe one day i'll finish one of those.
