For the pride series this year I’m only doing canon rep since I’m doing 11 pieces instead of 30 (hopefully I’ll be able to finish it that way 😭) and I’ve tried to make everyone from a different piece of media

Details I noticed in my third watch through of Nimona:

(I’m so normal about this movie)

Ballister’s sword originally had a G engraved on it which has been made into a makeshift B via scratchings.

My guess is that the sword either used to be Goldenloins or his families and Ambrosius gave it to Bal at some point as kids (given that Ambrosius is the only one I can think of with a G name)

Also about the sword: people have been pointing out the religious themes (like with the T in “true villain” looking like a crucifix) on that note the symbol on Bal’s sword in this shot looks a lot like the Christian fish

Ballister literally hopped the fence and broke into the knights practice to beat up a dummy as a kid before getting tackled by a bunch of knights

I just thought he was doing an obstacle course when I saw it before but nope! This makes everything about him becoming a knight so much funnier. Also the fact they have this footage? Amazing 100% Ambrosius has it saved to tease Bal with, no way he isn’t embarrassed about that

On a sad note; dang the institute really drilled in “do what I say, be a good kid and don’t break the rules” cause Bal as an adult didn’t even want to break the rules when his life was on the line vs as a kid breaking and entering into an ongoing knight practice while being chased

The director asks Ambrosius for a sword during the roof scene but Ambrosius looks at her and back at Ballister before telling her she needs to get to safety

He saw how angry she looked and knew she’d try to hurt Bal so he sent her away instead

Where Nimona as Ambrosius broke the wall on the miniature of the city being foreshadowing for the end of the movie

Bal batting Nimona off when she starts mocking him for caring about what Ambrosius thinks

So clearly a recurring conversation given Bal’s ‘whatever’ gesture here lmao

Ambrosius being really timid with this crowd of people and overly polite

He’s chasing down a criminal/the love of his life and barely even says excuse me 😭😭 and he half heartedly asks them to move before immediately folding and giving an autograph, we love a man whose great at public speaking but still has social anxiety

Ambrosius’ eye roll as soon as Todd shows up

(He’s so done with him)

Todd’s actual name being Thodeus

Idk why I just assumed this was a different guy the first watch through

True but Izzy isn't even the only disabled main character, Lucius and Spanish Jackie are both also amputees who are living about as happy lives as you can get as a pirate, Black Pete has a cleft palate and Ed wears a leg brace

It's good to be aware of bigotry in media but honestly I just don't think it applies here because Izzy isn't the only representation of any particular group in the show, not by a long shot

Gentle reminder;

Burying your gays as a trope doesn't apply to media where literally every character is queer and only one of them dies

That's just called regular character death

Blue - Terry from The Dragon Prince [Trans boy]

Terry is actually one of my favourite trans masc characters ever, it’s so rare to see early transition characters who are presented as happy and non-tragic. Also he’s visibly trans!! I get so fed up with the only trans rep we get being extremely cis passing people when that’s not what 99% of us look like
