Me: *rolls up to a merchant in ancient Athens on Heelys and sipping a Starbucks*

Me: Yo where’s your horribly dense wine I’ve got coin

Merchant: What on earth are you wearing

Me: It’s called pants.

Merchant: I hate that.

one time this nondescript guy came into my dunkin donuts and ordered a small black coffee with blueberry flavor shot, and for some reason that peculiar order stuck with me so much that when, seven months later, i saw him in the parking lot walking towards the door, i quickly made a small black coffee with blueberry flavor shot. he ordered it and i was already holding it. 

i would describe his demeanor that second time as “incredulous”

The She-Ra and Nimona Character Comparison No One Asked For

So, a few days ago I finished the graphic novel/comic ‘Nimona’ by Noelle Stevenon!

It was great! Funny, satirical, sad, with some absolutely gorgeous art. If you haven’t read it, I 100% suggest you check it out.

But as I was digesting the story, some similarities between it and Stevenson’s more recent work on ‘She-Ra: Princesses of Power’ struck me. It occurred to me that some people might find it interesting.

—

Imagine, if you will…

Two orphans raised from birth as soldiers by a powerful institution, which promises its pupils that they will be fighters for what is good and right, protecting innocents from injustice. Two children among them are thick as thieves, best friends for as long as they can remember. One, however, is naturally gifted. The other remains forever in their shadow, quietly resentful.

As they near adulthood, and about to fully take their place as fully fledged warriors, however… the talented one realises the truth. That the organisation that raised them was lying, actually oppressing innocents, and using them as instruments of that oppression. 

They turn their back on everything they once fought for, becoming the organisation’s sworn enemy. Their best friend, however, stays behind, and the two become nemesis…Fighting each other at every turn, but never able to shake off the unresolved friendship and romance that still lies between them.

Am I talking about Adora and Catra, or Ballister Blackheart and Ambrious Goldenloin?

Yeah. There’s a LOT of similarities in the set up between these two pairs, although it’s FAR from 1:1.

 Which is only to be expected, of course. Nimona, to my understanding, was primarily a solo project. She-Ra, meanwhile, was written years later, is based upon a previous incarnation, and of course had a whole team of other writers, artists, executives, etc., who all would have influenced the development. Nonetheless, I think this definitely shows some similar themes that Stevenson really likes exploring. 

I’m going to dig more into that below the cut, but there shall be Nimona spoilers below! So if you’re still curious, maybe check the book out first?
