// 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.
progress on Corey and Rylin's lore? :D
Im almost finished making it make sense its coming I promise!!! I did not realise how hard it actually would be to take almost 5 years of story developing and actually make it like, digestible for someone else to understand lmao. Im leaving a bunch out but also leaving out details on purpose is something I am. Not good at so it ended up being a lot longer than I thought it would be!! Im glad you're still interested in hearing about them they are some of my Little Guys Who I Care A Very Normal Amount About. I'll start posting more about the others once this is out of the way!!
In the mean time, heres a couple doodles from the page I was going to post with the explanation lol
fellow room of swords fan real?! /pos
Bingo!!! Big ros fan indeed. Its currently fighting tooth and nail with another obsession I've got atm but the brainrot for the silly green astronaut is so unbelievably real.
a goober for you friend 🫴
Almost a year ago I drew this. For the bit. As a joke. Just for funsies. Safe to say we have an answer now?? ðŸ˜
That whole new episode was a big reminder to me of why I think tadc is so compelling. Such an insane, absolutely wacky scenario for everyone involved and there is still this underlying theme that everything is way more serious than it seems. There is real loss and pain and suffering in this circus, not far underneath all the fun colours and extravagance. Its just a matter of how differently everyone behaves and is affected in the face of that.
Very very cool.
