fandom just needs to chill about things being cringe. being totally cringe is a rite of goddamn passage. enjoy the fucking cartoon you like, who cares

This man has one of the best character designs I’ve ever seen. He’s designed like a stereotypical villain with his sharp features, dark armor, and the scar across his eye…but in actuality he’s goofy and sad.

the way these strikes get framed is always so funny to me

"the strike could stretch on until the end of summer" or the execs could pay their workers

"there won't be ANY new shows because of this strike" or the execs could pay their workers

"no more content for us because the mean old writers and actors are-" OR THE EXECS COULD PAY THEIR WORKERS

The execs could literally pay for this stuff with their own bonuses and it wouldn't even impact their lifestyle in a major way. They'd still be obscenely rich.

why dont you try making up a delusion or private world and go live in it and maybe you’ll calm down 

I'm begging you to turn the sound on

Spring.

Spring.

Spring.

Spring.

Spring.

Everytime this crosses my dash my eyes light up because I know my favourite part is coming. Spring. Spring. Spring. Spring. Spring.

head empty, no thoughts. just turtleneck crowley

Hob Gadling headcanons that the entire Dreamling/Sandman fandom has accepted

I enjoy all the headcanons of Ballister and Ambrosius becoming Nimona's dad's, because it ignores that she's actually at least a thousand years old. Just two gay men trying to father an eldritch being that's literally older than the hills

you ever take a uquiz and realize halfway through that you don’t respect the author and their opinion is useless to you

everyone shut up except this person

my favorite thing about nimona is that they didn't give her a backstory to why she was a shapeshifter. just that she was. it was her normal reality that she had lived for over a thousand years. that despite doing nothing wrong she was labeled as a monster from the beginning of time. the entire kingdom was only built to protect the world from her just wanting to exist free to be whatever she wanted.

this movie isn't even a trans allegory at this point, it is The transgender movie.

nimona is abt living in a surveillance police state where the only path to acceptance is conformity as a tool of oppressing those like you. it’s about how a privileged white woman afraid of imagined dangers can often be the greatest threat of all. it’s about how our nature is acceptance, but even a single moment of misinformed paranoia can give rise to lasting cycles of bias and abuse. it’s about how systems of belief will always find a way to validate the harm they inflict upon others, even if it means turning one child into a myth and the other to a monster. nimona is also. a film about a dancing pink shark in sunglasses

the original 2015 graphic novel is more insane than the movie cuz like

exhibit A: nimona expresses liking pizza and ballister at first refuses her asking to order in because the delivery to his mindfuck nowhere lair is expensive . later, when an accident happens and nimona gets upset, he remembers that she liked pizza and offers to order in . if that isnt dad behavior idk what that is (im fatherless)

exhibit B :

they went to a science expo slash carnival . they went undercover . a stand seller mistakes them for a father & son and they just... went with it . he carries nimona around . what the fuck man

exhibit C :

ballister freaks the FUCK out when she gets injured way more than he did in the movie and then proceeds to play board games with her to cheer her up

oops hit tumblr picture limit i will continue my dad ballister propaganda in the reblogs

exhibit D :

nimona gets upset & ballister tries to reassure her . he tries to give her a hug but my poor meow meow babygirl nimona (full of trauma) just . pushes him away . im chewing on drywall .

exhibit E :

the craziest of them all . near the end at the final battle when nimona turns into the big ass dark dragon-axolotl monster, in the graphic novel she actually splits into two, the part of her thats gone off the edge (the monster) and the part of her thats the scared little girl she once was . the backstory in the novel is also a lot different than in the movie :

and .

gawd

this concludes my thesis for my dad ballister propaganda . i will walk outside and set myself on fire now .

one thing i really like about nimona's final form is that it has no teeth. she bears no real threat to the city. yet, they still misconstrued her into a monster hoping to destroy their kingdom and all they got. her teeth make vivid appearances when she's either committing violence or showing key personality traits aka being herself. she has nothing left of herself because of this country and still she doesn't aim to hurt anyone. she bears no threat. SHE BEARS NO THREAT!!! DO U UNDERSTAND 😭😭😭 she doesn't hurt one person during this scene. she hurts a few buildings, sure, but doesn't hurt a single person. if anything, the kingdom hurts itself more than she ever did (via missiles, bombs, guns, etc). maybe i'm over analyzing this but this movie is sick

YES. Because the parallel to the first village burning down in the flashback. She ment no harm and chose small forms first. Even when the villagers got more aggressive and she picked bigger animals to defend herself she never touched any of them. All the damage done was fully the villagers fault. They threw the fire that would fall and burn it all down. They destroyed their homes and livelihoods trying to kill her. And then history repeats on an even larger scale.

Actually, no joke, the marachino cherries you put on sundaes really aren’t red. They’re made from cherries like the Queen Anne variety, which are yellow and pink. They are dyed red.

Yes. With the blood of ferrets.

Fact I didn’t just make up, it’s often with insect-derived dyes, which is why some brands are not kosher.

Ferrets are the largest known insect.

I still can’t get over the name Goldenloin

Like, he’s your main character’s lover and he’s named Sir Greatinbed? Sir Fucksalot?? Sir Sexhaver??? He’s the main gay love interest and his name’s Sir Longshlong??? 10/10 no notes oscar nomination in the mail

Meanwhile on Nimona's version of Tumblr
