// NIMONA SPOILERS //

Seriously skip this if you haven't watched it for the love of all that is queer

Okay so, watched Nimona, obviously loved it a. Normal amount. Totally not obsessed. But this isn't a movie review, I want to talk about a particular scene that broke my heart the worst out of all of it (and there were a fair few moments worth that same sentiment).

Nimona's death scene.

Nimona sacrificed herself for a society that was brought up to loathe and despise her. It wasn't their fault that they were born into a 1000 year old society that raised them to fear her, but she was forced to live with the consequences of their negative mindsets. During the final climax towards the end of the movie, they hurled weapons her way for as long as they could, with as much force as they could muster. And they didn't stop hating and hurting her until she DIED to save them all.

That part will never not make me sob. Because it's a harsh and devastating reminder that some people's stories, especially people of minority groups who are shunned or attacked for being who they are, don't ever get told until the worst possible scenario comes to pass. If she had lived, something good might have happened. Or a multitude of things that would have been much, much worse. It's only because she sacrificed herself that people were able to consider that maybe she WASN'T all they percieved her to be before assuming the worst without giving her a chance. Ow.

You want some real legitimate advice about mental health? Stop being mean to yourself.

Like, when you wanna say mean shit about yourself either internally or externally, work to learn how to step back a moment and remind yourself that what you are doing is a form of self-harm and not a fair or legitimate judgement on you as a person, and furthermore is not productive to your survival or well-being.

Even if you fuck something up, you can resolve to do better in the future, you can tell yourself that you’re going to make this a learning experience, and even if you’ve made the same mistake 50 times already, telling yourself you’ll get it right someday if you just keep trying will always do you better than calling yourself an idiot and beating yourself up for not being able to get it right.

Take it from me, a lot of mental health shit is a product of your environment and personal history, and therefore you really don’t have the control over it that you need to get by without others’ help, but one thing you can have some control over is whether you’re going to be a friend to yourself or just another enemy, and if you want to survive, you’ve gotta strive to be in your own corner as best you can.

"I want to stop missing you. Please, come back..." Gyrus pleaded with a shaky whisper, curling into himself under the covers and letting out a sob when his hand automatically reached out to grab for where Kodya's would have been beside him.
