My Missing Wedding Ring Finger – A Bittersweet Comic About Queer Identity As Exorcism.

i've seen quite a few people talking about how nd stevenson and the producers of nimona underdid ballister's character to allow nimona to shine, but consequentially made bal a wet noodle.

i argue that ballister is not a wet noodle, he's just being thrown into situations that's he's never dealt with before, situations entirely outside of his control.

we know that ballister was literally the top of his class. when he's fighting the knights, he absolutely dominates. he initiates the fighting (they're surrounded, swords are drawn, but nothing starts until he gives nimona the okay to go wild). he is in control and he knows what he's doing.

his unwillingness to take risks isn't because he's a wet noodle, it's because he had to learn to stay in line to get ahead. he's been training since he was a kid. he's been facing classism and societal pressure since he was a kid. he learned that the best course of action is to not cause trouble, to not act out, to do what he is told. he has been raised with systems and rules and regulations and that's all he knows.

then the knighting ceremony happens and shit goes down. all of a sudden, everything that he's been working for for decades collapses. and then nimona appears and she is so radically different from him and she is encouraging him to do things he doesn't want to do. and he doesn't know how to handle her, he's used to obeying authority and doing as he's told, he doesn't have social awareness.

and it might just be my autism speaking, but you don't shove a knight in the deep end and then blame them for floundering.

I love this

The speculative answers to this are enough to fuel a whole series of little oneshots on AO3. Just gonna put that out there... 😶‍🌫️🔭👀

The Freestyle Jazz bit is even funnier when you think about what possibly lead to Ambrosius possessing this little fun fact about his boyfriend, like??? There's only so many ways for your lover's absolute hatred of a music genre to come up.

How did Ballister and Ambrosius get together in the movie, in your eyes?
