"So Vita came: & I register the shock of meeting after absence; how shy one is; how disillusioned by the actual body; how sensitive to new shades of tone – something 'womanly' I detected, more mature; & she was shabbier, come straight off in her travelling clothes; & not so beautiful, as sometimes perhaps; & so we sat talking on the sofa by the window, she rather silent, I chattering, partly to divert her attention from me; & to prevent her thinking "Well, is this all?" as she was bound to think, having declared herself so openly in writing."

Virginia Woolf, about Vita Sackville-West, in her diary, Tuesday 25 May, 1926

after rewatching nimona four times since its release (because yes, this movie is just that good), i caught a few little details that just make the whole experience so much better. so, incoming SPOILER ALERT, don’t read this if you haven’t watched the movie yet. speaking of, why the fuck haven’t you?? go watch the movie (and read the comic while you’re at it, some sites offer it for free), then come back and enjoy.

1. When the Squire gives Ballister his sword, he clearly realizes something’s wrong with it. He’s trained with it for so long that he knew that something was off just by holding it. This detail is something you wouldn’t pay much attention to when you first watch the film, but it’s there to make you realize something is a little off, especially when the Squire attempts to show him the video, but it also has plausible deniability so you could chalk it up to being something else (ie. the Squire wanting a picture with Ballister).

2. This sneaky line from this sneaky bitch.

3. Nimona tells us exactly how the movie ends. (Sorta. In a sense. The phoenix rises from the ashes and overthrows the government.)

4. You can see Nimona sneaking into the jail where Ballister is being kept.

5. Mini Ballister and Ambrosius! I think a few others have pointed this out before, but I only noticed it upon my second rewatch. (A little surprised younger Ambrosius didn’t have the Asian bob. That’s like a right of passage.)

6. Nimona’s train backstory versus her flashback.

7. During Nimona’s nightmare on the couch, she turns into a wolf, and then a cat. In her flashback, as the villagers attack her, she turns into a cat and then a wolf. It could be because having her turn into anything else would be too big for the couch, but if this is intentional, then it means Nimona was having a nightmare of that day.

8. This. Visually, the sparks are sorta similar, and in both instances, Ballister has lost something irreplaceable. I think this one might be a reach and may not be intentional, but my mind connected the two scenes and wouldn’t let go, so.

Honorable mention: the gay and trans flags above Ballister and Nimona respectively in that one scene. iykyk. I didn’t add it because 1. I think many other people have brought it up and 2. the mobile app is limiting me to 10 images. Anyway, I love this movie and its comic SO much and I’m so glad that it made it to our screens from the box of scrapped movies that could have been great if people (namely, executives) gave them a chance. There is so much love, care, and passion put into this movie, and you can really sense that this was made for its audience and its author, for its story and not only for the money it could make. This movie is metal as fuck, so GO STREAM IT!!

#nimona #nimona movie #nd stevenson #i love this movie sm this is my love letter to this movie #ballister and ambrosius r so fucking cute THIS is the queer rep i want #and nimona just.. she has my heart. my soul. I LOVE HER SM #ballister boldheart #ambrosius goldenloin #ive forced my brother my mom and five of my friends to watch this movie with me. it has been brilliant.

NGL I have STRONG opinions about digital releases omitting the letters to the editor section of older comics. I feel like the letters are a part of comic history and should be aggressively preserved.

#look i was a weirdo and loved the letters so much #so much #so fucking damn much #i still to this day mourn that we don't have them #sometimes the editors would publish blatant aggressive criticism and promise to do better on some things #it was rare but it did happen in a handful of things involving stereotypes #also there is queer history in them such as in superboy and the ravers where people wrote in about hero #asking WHY he was not interested in women and this editor had to so professionally explain that he was GAY and where they stood on it #you also got to read queer readers writing in about these queer characters and the JOY in their words is priceless #also sorry but geoff's letters are fun and stupid at the same time and are a huge insight to what his hcs were #he LOVED tiny krypto so much it likely inspired him making dex starr bc he loved the idea of a small overly powered animal #not saying that was the main reason why ofc but it is interesting that he created dex after praising that mean little mutt #i say with the most love #my venting #my rambles

To all my women loving trans masc fellas who don’t want to give up celebrating their love for women :

you don’t have to.

Love them loudly. Your love and sexuality aren’t suddenly too much, or gross, or annoying, or perverted. They are as genuine and deep and sweet and worth shouting out loud as they were when they were perceived as wlw love.

Because in the end women are freaking amazing

AND SO ARE YOU

#throwback to that time I was a freshly out queer kid and was congratulated multple times for not being too queer #the therapist I had to see to get my letter for hrt was happy that I was binary-trans(?) and proceeded to go on a rant about NB identities #*during a therapy session*#there are many spaces that had meaningful impacts on me and I still don't know if I was accepted there #or if I was just palatable #people will ignore your identity and call it support #there was no point to this btw #sometimes you just need to make bad art for that collection of feelings you don't have the words to fully encompass #I love seeing such visibly queer people #and hope that is one day me #my art

I'm tired of terrible men here's some good horror movie husbands: Sang-Hwa from Train to Busan, Josh from Insidious, Gabe from Us, Steve from Poltergeist, Burt from Tremors, Lee from A Quiet Place, Adam from The Only Lovers Left Alive, Dewey from Scream (divorce notwithstanding), Red from Mandy, Adam from Beetlejuice, Eric from The Crow, and of course the king himself Gomez from The Addams Family. Honorable mentions to Hess from Ganja & Hess (they're complicated), Ryūji from Ringu (perhaps not a good husband but at least a good ex-husband and partner to investigate paranormal shenanigans with) and Lee from Bones and All (symbolically gay married)

#this is not an exhaustive list and it doesn't include good boyfriends/paramours which there also are quite a few of #except lee from bones but again the 1980s queer relationship metaphor is. pretty obvious #tcp #horror is a love letter to humanity #i didn't include the warrens bc i wish to erase them from the cultural narrative

over the many years of my life, i constantly see people saying "gay ppl make being gay their WHOLE personality" or other people saying "well I'm gay but I'm not like THOSE gays" and it's like. well. maybe I LOVE that being queer is fundamental part of my personality. maybe i have found pride in who i am as a Person because of queer media, queer people, and queer spaces. maybe i think that queerness is inherently tied to my self-growth. maybe i find queer literature, queer theology, queer art, queer politics, queer music, and every queer field to be extremely important to not only myself but the entire world. maybe i think that displaying queer pride so openly and honestly will help younger queers find themselves.

i love that my gender is absolutely fucked and my sexuality is all over the place. I love finding all the little nuances in everything that society tells you is supposed to be black and white. I love finding and using labels when I want them and discarding them when I don't. I love being queer and maybe that's more than okay.

something that's always been a life goal of mine is to write the kinds. of love letters that make the sun rise. i want to make my lovers feel so thoroughly seen and adored that it chases out any doubt that they may not deserve it, or that they can't be desired, or that there is something about them that bars them from being held and warmed. i want to write the kind of letters people keep by their bedside even if we break up, not necessarily because they miss me but because they are proof even in the darkest of times that love is real and that they've tasted it and that they'll taste it again. the kind of writing that has heat like the soft glow of embers is, again and again, what i gravitate towards, and is what i hope to put out.

i often sign off "love, always." and it often doesn't mean "i will always love you." it means, what i am giving you now is yours forever, to keep and warm your hands by.

I am taking the fact that o'brien hung out with bashir in this lighting

for a whole episode, without it apparently stirring much in him other than maybe faint irritation, as proof that for all his other wonderful qualities our chief of operations really may be completely heterosexual

#token neurotypical straight on the neurodivergent queer disaster space station #it's okay miles I won't hold it against you you already suffer enough and I love you #also it's not your and keiko's fault you're tarred with the 90s 'even happy marriage is hell' trope i know you guys are trying #star trek ds9 #star trek #ds9 #this ep was a love letter to bashir's bone structure for no reason whatsoever and it was amazing

He laughs. “You remind me so much of your mom sometimes, kid. She had that same attitude.” He nudges Christopher with his elbow. “She handled your abuelo so well.” “He’s hard to handle sometimes,” Chris admits, quietly like he’s afraid they’re going to get caught sharing secrets, and it makes Eddie laugh all the more. “I like when you talk about her.” “Hmm?” “My mom. I like when you tell stories about her. And how you put her up all over the house, like she’s still here. It makes me feel like I knew her before she died.” A weight settles over Eddie’s chest right where Shannon used to lay her head. “You did, baby,” he insists, ducking his chin so he can see Christopher’s face when he turns his head. Christopher shrugs. “Not really,” he says. “Not the way I know you or Buck.” Eddie twists around onto his side. “I’ll tell you anything you want to know about your mom, baby.”

A Letter You May Never Read

Hey,

so I’m just gonna give you your space fr. I don’t really know what I did to make you feel like you need to treat me the way you have been for the past few months. The months leading up to our separation and the month after. I was vulnerable with you and admitted my insecurities to you. I listened to you and put in effort to be a supportive partner to you; to the best of my abilities. And you were happy. And you were glowing. And your ego soared in my presence. We all noticed. All I wanted from you was the same attentive care I poured into your vessel. To be filled with your love so I, too, could glow…

But you couldn’t do that for me. Or wouldn’t do that for me-

I don’t know why you feel the need to take so much s

p

a

c

e from me.

To put so much d i s t a n c e between us.

So much between us.

So much ache between us.

I don’t wonder when it faded.

I felt it fade-

Still feel it fading.
