guess who discovered Nimona!! And who's about to make it everyone else’s problem? Yours truly
Ambrosius : I’m not being weird. Am I being weird? Nimona : Yes, and that’s coming from me.
Ballister: Like, no offense to myself and all, but what the fuck am I actually doing?
Nimona : I failed my safety training course today. Ballister : Why, what happened? Nimona : Well one of the questions was "In case of a fire, what steps would you take?" Ballister : And? Nimona : Well apparently "FUCKING LARGE ONES" isn't an acceptable answer.
Ambrosius , about Ballister : I could fix them, but honestly whatever the hell is wrong with them is way funnier. Nimona: That's what any god probably thinks about me.
Ambrosius : Bro- Ballister: No, no, hold up, rewind. Ballister: My tongue was down in your throat just a second ago and now you're calling me bro??

Goldenheart debate
So, I've seen this going on about Goldenheart which is if Ballister is a bottom or a top. Most people seem to say bottom, but I have to debate this.
(Also, please note that this is my own opinion and I do not wish to offend anyone)
Spoiler warning!
Tumblr media
So, first off, at the beginning of the movie, before all of it, I totally agree that Ballister is a bottom. Like, this sad and wet cat man with puppy dog eyes is a complete and total bottom. Ambrosius could ask him to do anything and he would be on his knees doing it without a second thought. But, we have to remember that Bal evolves a lot all throughout the movie, mainly, he becomes more confident.
I saw another post that I sadly can't find, but credits to them, that stated that we slowly see Bal get more and more comfortable and confident, that there seems to be this lack of tenseness in him that we didn't really see before, even when he was with Ambrosius, and I totally agree!
Nimona makes him a lot more confident and he sees her as someone he can be himself around. Sure, Ambrosius was that someone, but we can clearly see that Bal is quite different because of the Institute, going to the lengths of literally trespassing on Institute grounds as a child to being afraid to break the rules, even as a wanted supposed villain. So sure, he was himself with Ambrosius, but he still put limits to himself that the Institute forced him to have.
Now with Nimona, there aren't really any rules, the only one being basically "Don't be an asshole" but other than that, he is free to be reckless when he wants. Nimona even pushes him to be more reckless so their energy match. The moment I feel he really gets into it and we see it is when they're fighting the knights and Ambrosius at the castle after trying to show the proof for the first time.

He goes from begging Ambrosius to trust him to goofing a little with Nimona in a moment of pause during the fight, and he just seems so much more loose. Which, to me, shows he is much more confident and doesn't forcefully restricts his fun side as much.
Also, when he and Ambrosius are getting nachos;
Tumblr media
Ballister isn't afraid to show that he's mad at him, pushing him away, and even acting a little snarky. I feel like he wouldn't have done that at the beginning. Nimona made him more confident, and I think it shows.
Now, confidence shows in many parts of your life, including sex. If you're not confident in yourself and your abilities, you might just subconsciously take on a more submissive role, the opposite going if you're confident.
So, at the beginning, not-that-confident Ballister is a bottom yes. But towards the end? Sure, when he and Am started getting frisky again, he took on a submissive role by reflex, but I can just image then making out one day and something flipping in Ballister's head before he just flips them over, surprising Ambrosius.
He is probably just a power bottom at first, but I can easily imagine a conversation going like;
Bal: Can I try toping?
Confused Am: ...Sure?
And after that I am positive they just became switches.
Anyways, this is mostly just my headcanon for what happened, might share more if y'all like this, but all that to say that I adore this movie and I am obsessed with with these gay knights and their gremlin child! <3
