I am addicted to writing kick-ass but soft and vulnerable Ballister.

MOAR EXCERPTS FROM THIS SAME WIP HERE

[kathrahender]

Voltron Legendary Defender's writers failed us making Allurance canon instead of Klance. Teen Wolf's writers failed us making Layden canon and not making Thiam canon too. X-Men's writers failed us not making Cherik canon. Supernatural's writers failed us not making Destiel canon. And BBC's writers also failed us not making Johnlock and Merthur canon.

That's why I ask you, Cobra Kai's writers, not to fail us too. Don't be like the previous writers. Be like Dana Terrace with Lumity. Be like ND Stevenson with Catradora and Goldenheart. Be like Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko with Korrasami. Please, don't be afraid to show LGBT characters in your show. Don't be afraid of showing an LGBT main couple in your show.

Some people would hate it, and would hate you for it, sure, but that always happens. People always hate some shows, for one or another reason. But shows like The Owl House, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Nimona and Legend of Korra are good shows. Shows that people like despite their LGBT characters. So please please please, make Lawrusso canon in season 6. If you do that, so many people will be happier thanks to you. But if you don't do it, we would have lost another battle for good LGBT representation.

been thinking about how ambrosius is largely shown commanding and acting as a leader to the knights for most of the movie, especially in the movie's climax. I also keep thinking about how he graduated at the same time as bal, and the time jump between then and the rest of the plot can't be longer than a few months.

all this to say that chances are, ambrosius was immediately forced into a position of leadership on account of his lineage, which puts his internal rant to the director in a whole new light

is there a word for the fanfic version of a food craving. right now my fic craving is ambrosius and ballister finally getting the nachos they deserve. i want to see every nacho date they ever had and ever will. the first the second the third the thirtieth. the pre-canon nachos and the post-canon nachos. do they have fun nacho dates? do they have angsty nacho dates? why did they choose nachos the first time around? did they ever try making nachos at home? how did ballister find out ambrosius is allergic to olives? do you think the freestyle jazz was ever involved—

anyway. i want to see the nacho tradition come to life. pls

I've been stupid busy so y'all get 2 day old Nimona headcanons

I feel like Todd would try really hard to be friends with the trio after everything went down

Bal is an absolute angel who can do no wrong so while he doesn’t forgive Todd he is willing to acknowledge his growth (sike he has the moral backbone of soggy cardboard and the character development of a rock)

Bal makes no attempt to befriend him but he’s also civil whenever he’s around 

Nimona and Ambrosius on the other hand they’re not afraid to slam doors in his face and tell him to take a long walk off a short pier 

There have been multiple times when they’ve had to hold each other back from beating the absolute shit out of him 

And it’s not cause they’re scared of losing or anything 

No they’re both confident they could kick his ass in 5 seconds flat 

They’re scared he’s gonna try and twist it and figure out a way to make it seem like them harming him led to more of his “character development” 

So they settle for mental torment 

Before Nimona got comfortable with Ambrosius she gave him the shovel talk with an actual shovel in hand 

He wasn’t offended in the slightest 

Was he a little scared? absolutely 

But offended? No not at all

If anything he was incredibly grateful that there was another person in the kingdom that cares for Bal as much as he does 

Maybe a month into them trusting each other Nimona turns around and gives Bal the shovel talk

And he actually started crying 

Nimona tried to stop and get him to calm down frantically asking him what’s wrong while shushing him 

And Bal encouraged him to continue because this was the moment that he knew Nimona viewed Ambrosius as part of their family 

I gave my headcanons in this post about how often I’d think the trio would cry which got me thinking about how they’d comfort each other 

Ambrosius was very used to Bal’s constant crying so he’s pretty good at comforting people 

So when Bal and Nimona do cry he doesn’t overreact 

He’ll quietly console them and wait for them to be done before asking if they want anything 

Food water a blanket 

Anything they ask for he gets 

Bal is a nervous wreck when the duo cries around him 

He’s still not used to Ambrosius crying in general 

And seeing Nimona cry is about as likely as seeing a double rainbow in a tornado 

He tries to damn best to comfort them and most of the time it works (emphasis on most) 

Nimona is just awkward around crying people 

Because crying is something they don’t do often and they haven’t gotten too close to anyone in a long time comforting doesn’t come naturally to them

Most of the time they try and get the boys to stop crying by making them laugh or distracting them

And they didn’t realize how damaging that was until one day Ambrosius just said “Nim love all I want to do is cry please let me do that” 

They started working on their comforting skills after that but it’s very much a work in progress 

While Bal and Ambrosius are incredibly sappy dorks I feel like they don’t overdo it with the PDA

Like sure they’ll hold hands and kiss occasionally but it’s so small that most people don’t comment on it 

But if someone tries to make a big deal about them kissing or holding hands they will go overboard just cause they’re petty like that

It's not enough to create content, I need to print every single frame in Nimona and EAT THEM.

The magical moment when you must accept that your fluffy little “I just need to write something cute and uplifting for a change” story has gotten completely out of hand… 😅 Man, I love these silly boys. 😁

Nimona OC - Charlotte Swiftheart/Corova: Shadows and Gold

*Crawls out of my pit of lacking motivation* I HAVE RETURNED. CHARLOTTE'S BACK!

I'm so sorry it took me so long to write this first chapter! As that opening suggested, I've been really struggling to feel motivated to do...Well, just about everything. But I'm starting to get back into it (I'm almost done with the next page of my comic, so I should hopefully be able to post that before the end of the day)! Hoping to get out one more chapter and post some more art before I go on vacation on the 28th, but we'll have to see.

The first chapter of my new Charlotte fic, Shadows and Gold, is now on Ao3! Please enjoy Chapter 1: As My World Burns!

A quick summary in case you've forgotten what the hell this fic is actually about (it's been a hot second since I mentioned it): Six years before the Knighting Ceremony, Queen Valerian has been murdered. Having been framed for the queen's murder, Charlotte Corova is forced to flee from the Institute along with her half-brother, Ambrosius Goldenloin. While the duo struggles to survive as the kingdom hunts them down, friends and allies search for the truth to clear their names.

Lovely tagged people:

In lieu of Stuff Your Kindle day, can we talk about the issue of how the m/m genre of books, romance or not, is almost entirely dominated by women? Can we talk about how the most recognisable gay couples in media are written by women? Can we talk about how queer men can't even write about ourselves, how we are only allowed to exist when it's from the point of view of a straight woman sexualising us?

Can we talk about that? Or am I going to get called misogynistic for pointing out the disparity between who gets the writing deals, & who gets their books turned into movies, & whose shit gets popular versus whose doesn't? Can we talk about how m/m fiction is only allowed when it appeals to a cishet gaze, or is that too much for tumblr to take?

Can we also talk about how trans queer men are even more hated by publishing? Can we talk about how we get shit from both sides? Can we talk about how books about the experiences of being a queer man, written by queer men, never get the same recognition as books written by women on this subject (barring academia which has its own problems)?

Can we talk about that? Can we?

i do find it interesting how similar the main ships in spop and nimona are. two child soldiers who were raised together with false morals instilled in them, one of them breaks out and starts questioning the system while the other stays. they become enemies at first but eventually both of them go against the system and get into a relationship.

like.. this is not even a trope anymore. it's the same ship in two different fonts. i just find that incredibly uncreative. even if you like the friends to enemies to lovers genre, what's the point of writing two ships if they're gonna be the exact same? nate really didn't try to make either of these ships original or unique. he just found a trope that he liked and ran with it.

(also, i'm talking about nimona the movie because i haven't read the comics, but i'm pretty sure this is how it plays out in the comics too except possibly more toxic)

[a-shoebox-named-meap]

aight. have some nimona canon divergence AU fic ideas because i’m no writer but i AM going insane

as a huge fan of canon divergence AUs where One Small Decision Changes Everything™ i can’t stop thinking about little bits and pieces from the nimona movie like:

what if the squire had shown ambrosius the video (ohh a fic like this would be Delicious) (mm ambrosius x squire tag team) (ballister’s two biggest fans) (this might be one of my favorite ideas so far) (lots of potential here i feel like)

now there have been a lot of people asking “let’s feel some ANGST what if real ambrosius had walked into the director’s office before nimona” but i will take that and raise you: what if ambrosius had walked in while nimona was doing her thing in the director’s office. perhaps around the time when the director stabbed fake!ambrosius. please consider. may the chaos ensue

ballister had noticed his sword-laser-cannon powering up and moved it away from the queen but it hit something else! or someOne else! (or it killed the queen anyway but still hit somebody else in the process) (oh gods what if it took off his own arm) (or even ambrosius’s—) (can you imagine the kinda twist that would occur if he took off ambrosius’s arm by accident and ballister not resting until he found out who the real culprit is skdjdjdjdjddj) (oh but wait let me make this WORSE what if he hit ambrosius instead of the queen ((don’t worry ambrosius is wearing armor, he doesn’t die he’s just,,, gravely injured?)) and ballister, even if he still gets framed for it, will stop at nothing to find out who did this to ambrosius) (now incorporate nimona into that storyline and hoohoohoo) (i’m rubbing my hands together like a maniacal fruit fly right now)

what if they had uploaded the squire’s video when they got it huh. what then. back it up to the cloud. or just TEXT it to ambrosius you Fool. you absolute Buffoon. (but perhaps this seemingly obvious course of action results in some unexpectedly dire consequences oh no—)

“ooh… nemesis.” “nemesis?” at which point nimona and ballister get stuck in the closet, nimona reveals her shapeshifting abilities, and oh, screw it, if ballister’s situation with his arm-chopping nemesis is really so cOmPLiCAteD then maybe since they’re breaking out of jail anyway they might as well kidnap ambrosius while they’re at it. aka the au where nimona breaks ballister out of jail and she takes ambrosius with them. (i am FEASTING on the possibilities of this one)

let’s take todd’s suspicion and blame directed towards ambrosius (“why didn’t you tell us ballister was working with whales?”) and dial that up to 100. slowly, though, not too fast, it’s gotta build momentum. let’s breed some mistrust in ambrosius. let’s see people refusing to let ambrosius lead the manhunt for ballister on account of their close relationship. let’s see people turn their backs on him thinking he was a conspirator. let’s see ambrosius losing the public’s favor. let’s see ambrosius starting to feel some doubt when he’s alone in his room — let’s see ambrosius wondering what if people are actually as wrong about ballister as he knows they are about ambrosius himself. (what if everybody hates ambrosius too—)

this one is not nearly as straightforward a canon divergence but ponder this: the director noticed the squire was there in the locker room (?) that day and swapped out the swords after the squire had left. or maybe she swapped it out before the squire was ever there. the squire never knew the director had been there. there was no video evidence. now what? up to you >:)

ok hear me out. the squire is a #1 ballister fan right. the squire is probably very careful with the swords and armor he handles. the squire is probably intimately familiar with the swords and other various weaponry and armaments of the institution. the squire is probably very familiar with ballister’s in particular. when ballister first picked up his swapped-out sword he noticed something was off about it, but what if — WHAT IF — the squire had noticed something was off about it first. now of course there’s Possibility #1 where he sees the director swap the sword, and then he checks out the sword and feels that something is wrong with it etc etc (or maybe he mistakes the sword change for an equipment upgrade) BUT now let’s combine this with the previous bullet point for Possibility #2 where the squire DIDN’T see the director swap the sword but he DID notice something was off about the sword before ballister did and actually investigated it. would he discover the hidden weapon, or not? if he did would he bring it to ballister’s attention? ambrosius’s? the director’s? what if he caught the hidden weapon but didn’t mention it and then the queen died and the squire was left fully believing ballister killed the queen (ballister knows mechanics, you’ve seen his arm, it’s plausible he built the weapon into his sword himself) and then ballister and nimona kidnapped him and interrogated him and ballister and the squire were left spiderman meme-ing each other like *points* “i thought YOU were behind all this!” and now the squire is an unwilling sidekick dragged into this by nimona and ballister to figure out who the real culprit is and there’s ACTION and ADVENTURE and COMEDY and it’s absolutely metal—

the squire really feels like a lynchpin in this story is all i’m sayin

if you can’t tell i’m also a fan of happy endings. in my brain most of these canon divergences result in a similar happy ending as the movie. except maybe faster (not always). which i enjoy because i’m sappy and silly anyway thank you and goodnight
