Also I love how we get to see Ballister open up throughout the film, not only learning to challenge the Institute but also just step down from having to be the perfect knight (so that no one can question his right to be there) to get to be a little bit silly, have some fun, cause some problems and just be alive in a way he didn’t really seem to be at the beginning of the movie.
He’s stiff, he’s formal, he’s terrified of hurting anyone or going against his training or the Institute; he’s nervous around Nimona and her antics, tries to downplay his role and just not cause a fuss. You can really feel the desperation to be perfect and how hard he must have had to work to become a knight, one slip and everyone would have made it such a thing about how commoners couldn’t make it in the Institute.
Then he meets Nimona, and finally gives up on the Institute, and he doesn’t have to be perfect anymore! He can wear shades and take silly pictures with a shark and swing over the couch and grab a sword and have at all those assholes who were always waiting for him to fail; he can get out there and be loud and be himself without having to worry about what other people think of him!
It’s just such a nice, slightly subtle arc to pair with the louder Nimona arc and compliments it so well: Nimona learns that someone believes in her, and she doesn’t have to be loud and angry all the time just screaming at someone to see her; and Ballister learns that he doesn’t have to be perfect, doesn’t have to toe the line, and can be loud and should be angry and is allowed to do something about it!

Thinking about how the live action merry is pogging.
Idk, man
Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
This thread is incredibly important to read.
It is also extremely difficult to read. I don't know if I need to point this out, but the document itself is obviously full of bigotry so please take care of yourself if you choose to read it. Antisemitic phrases like "cultural marxism" and "global elites" appear before the document even really gets rolling, and are mixed in with transphobia, racism, and more.
If you want a taste of how this document starts in the first main section about "The Family", here is a taste:
"This starts with deleting the terms sexual orientation and gender identity (“SOGI”), diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”), gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender awareness, gender-sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights, and any other term used to deprive Americans of their First Amendment rights out of every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists."
It is all bad. ALL of this document is bad, and dangerous, and threatens the lives and the safety of everyone living in this country.

would western au mihawk have a big gun? or just a comically long revolver 🤔
KOSA UPDATE
It passed the Commerce Committee markup with a unaminous vote. But this shit is far from over.
Keep calling your senators and representatives, email them, and POST about the KOSA bill and its dangers everyday until this tomfuckery is shutdown!
KOSA is dangerous as it now threatens end to end encryption, which means EVERYTHING we have internet is in threat of being compromised. We NEED to do something about it and even if you have anxiety, you can do something about. I did, and I felt like I was going to die as I was doing it, but I did it!
If you're not comfortable with calling, email them, sign petitions, post about it on social media. Blow KOSA up, it worked last time and that's why it didn't pass. So let's do it again!
We need action, our privacy and our safety is at stake! This goes beyond violating our 1st and 4th amendments!
STOP KOSA
STOP EARN IT ACT
STOP RESTRICT ACT
STOP CSAM
STOP COOPER DAVIS
These bills are a threat to kids AND adults and they need to be stopped! Keep calling, keep emailing, keep being a pain in their ass!
Edit: If this passes, it won't just affect Americans, this will affect everything and everyone worldwide. So even if you aren't American you can help us fight! You can call, email, and sign petitions!
Edit 2: No further moves are going to be made on KOSA until after August as Congress is on recess, but it WILL come back in September. So we need to keep pushing, we need to be loud! Keep calling and email your representatives and senators!
