you’re either going to have a trans kid or you’re not. that part has nothing to do with you, you can’t control it and you can’t beat it out of them. a child who’s encouraged to explore their identity is not more likely to be trans than a child who’s rigidly controlled, they might just know it sooner and be able to explore themselves more safely. your childs gender has nothing to do with your parenting and your rage will never change this fact. the only choice you have is whether you’re the kind of parent they’ll keep speaking to. hope this helps!
Today I realized that whenever Bal asks what Nimona is, she replies "I'm Nimona", it signifies that she wants to be identified by who she is and not what she is as she suffered discrimination by others for being not human.
What Nimona wants was someone to know her by just being Nimona, not for her species.
"No matter what we do, we can't change the way people see us." "You changed the way you see me... didn't you?"
found family and some of the allegory in NIMONA (2023)
feel like i need to watch this movie 3 times but one thing i thought was an interesting change from the graphic novel was that very little of the destruction in the final scene was caused by nimona herself - most of it was because of the soldiers shooting at her as she made her way to the statue. and then the director attempting to wipe out half the kingdom just to kill her. it really drives home how queerphobia is based on unfounded fears and how a society that vilifies us and mocks the value of diversity in general is only hurting itself.
another big change is nimona risking her life to save the kingdom from itself, a kingdom that always hated her (after one guy showed her there might be something worth saving). though i love the graphic novel's take on it too i think both endings are brilliant in different ways. to me it shows the shift in nd stevenson's work, from a story grounded in righteous anger when he was young and in the middle of processing a ton of trauma, to one that reflects a confidence about who he is and his place in the world as a bigender person fighting for justice. nimona saying "it's time to rewrite this story" is so fucking meta
“Where you go, I go!”
“That’s the deal…”
happy last day of pride 🌈
I’m almost finished with my third listen of tma and I’m not ready for the last episode 👍
[ Will Wood and the Tapeworms - Cotard’s Solution (Anatta/Dukkha/Anicca) ]
[ID: A full-body drawing of Jon and Martin from the Magnus Archives kissing in a supply closet. Jon is a thin tall Indian man with long, dark curly hair. Martin is a fat white man with short hair and glasses who is slightly shorter than Jon. The drawing is rendered in murky green colors, with highlights in yellow. Martin leaned back against a shelf, tilting back under his weight, causing items on the shelf to fall backward. Jon is pressing Martin into the shelf, holding Martin's face in one hand and holding on to the shelf to keep it from falling with the other. Martin clutches Jon's shirt, and holds the back of his head. They are illuminated from above by a single bare bulb hanging from the ceiling.
The supply closet is cramped and dirty and filled with many items on shelves. Items include cleaning supplies, boxes, and crumpled paper. Strings of black magnetic tape hang from various shelves and from the ceiling. A mop hangs on one wall near a bucket labeled "MOP WATER (HAUNTED)." There is a CO2 fire extinguisher on the ground, close to a tape recorder, with spools of magnetic tape unfurling from inside. There are two jars labeled "???" on different shelves. One of the jars appears to have eyeballs floating in murky water, while the other has a vague bulbous shape inside that could be a large worm or an organ of some kind. Two ghostly faces are hidden in the drawing, one under a shelf and one in a box. End Image ID]
