The Nimona movie does what like a hundred movies and shows have done before, including Paranorman, Turning Red, ATLA, Buffy, Tekkon Kinkreet and genuinely like almost every story where there’s a form of supernatural or supernatural-ish power. A character loses control of their emotions and therefore loses control of their power and goes on a monstrous rampage, but then someone reaches out a hand, or hugs them, or stands unarmed and vulnerable in front of them, shows them the power of love and understanding and acceptance, diffusing the emotional crisis and turning the monster back into a nice normal person. And that’s a good story, there’s a good reason why people keep telling it and telling it.
But the Nimona comic did something rarer, something I liked much better. Nimona is an overall quite optimistic and lighthearted story that still managed to say - fuck you, your love can’t fix me, my anger is real, my fear is real, the monster is real, who the fuck are you to say it isn’t. The parts of me that are dangerous and scary as shit are just as real as the parts you love.
a mi no me importa hacer Out Of Character. pegarme al canon? por que? que ha hecho el canon por mi?
so uhm anyway, sorprendentemente para nadie a mi me gusta usar lo poquisimo que escribo como terapia y me fascinaria decir que este fic es la excepción PERO YA VAMOS VIENDO QUE NO JAAAA
Viejito deprimido que toma puras putas malas decisiones y muchacho que siente que cualquier cosa mala que sienta o exprese automaticamente lo vuelve una mala persona ammaright'? Alguien pregunteme al respecto necesito hablar de esto o voy a explotar, genuinamente estoy fanboyeandole a mi propio fanfic

Idk what I’m doing anymore 😭
Bit of spoiler here if you haven't seen it, but I want to get my feelings out while I still got the "finished the episode" feeling.
I just want to appreciate that entire fucking episode. As in, not only the art and the music, which were both steller by the way. I fucking loved the star moment, and the music during it all that turned from calm to almost horror like with the wolf.
But also that in the entire episode, David knew what the fuck he was doing. Sure, shit like the wolf and the bees were unexpected, but I seriously doubt that any of the kids, or even Gwen could possibly figure out the way to survive real-world. Cambell gets a pass because of last season, but seriously, anyone else would've freaked the fuck out or would've probably solved their problem through some weird hyjinks.
But David? From the moment he left the river he followed it back while before climbing the mountain. When he got chased by the bees and escaped, he sat his ass down and pulled out everything he could've needed at the moment. He knew what flowers to get to treat his stings, tried to start a fire and then made a shelter when it started raining. Even the wolf moment? God that made me so sad, so heart broken to think that David had to kill a creature and hear his currdling screams. But then, THEN, we see him and the wolf safe, wounds healing, around a cozy little home that David built, with water and fire and a little doggo house and everything! David KNEW how to survive, LEARNED how to survive, and for all the moments we've been told David was such a camp boy, that he was the nature guy, I don't think I've been more proud to see it all than in this episode.
I'm not saying that no other character couldn't have survived it. They would probably find a way to. But I'm saying that I don't think there would be a more justified person surviving those goddamn woods like a champ like David.
