obsessed with this whole sequence. the pre-ceremony public canoodling. the heart eyes. ambrosius' glower. ballister's little glances back at him. how ambrosius catches him. the hand holding ambrosius back.
fr, the “it would be easier if you were a girl” part (and Nimona's response) really hit me personally because, y'know, that's what I always thought to myself as a basically-closeted afab non-binary living in a place where the concept of nb is not really well-known among majority of people. It WOULD be easier to be a “normal girl” or “the girl who's a bit different” but I ain't it. This movie gets it and I love it.
“Did you see the way that little girl looked at me? Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes I just wanna let ‘em.”
“We have to get you out of here. Over the wall. We won’t stop until we find some place safe, okay? We’ll go. Together. No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.”
“You changed the way you see me... Didn’t you?
NIMONA (2023), based on the comic by ND Stevenson, who came out as transgender in 2022
