god, i loved you, babe, did i tell you that? two weeks ago - maisie peters

[shitslikethis]

finally watched nimona (had the comic for years so i figured no rush) and i was struck by how different certain elements lept out in a new medium…. the one thing that hit harder in animation: she’s literally just a kid.

okay, yes, “she’s” a 1000 year old eldritch horror with no gender all the genders who bites people and commits crimes to alleviate boredom but as someone who works with kids i assure you, that’s literally all children at default settings

it just hurt so much (but in a cathartic way) to see the flashback where the townspeople turn on nimona and i just kept thinking she’s just a kid. she was just a kid. SHES JUST A KID!

(and think the obvious use of gendered pronouns there is a clear sign that this is not totally about nimona)

and then to see the “monster unleashed” sequences where the “monster” in question (or what i’m going to call the shadow form) is made from all of nimonas pain and grief and rage…..

the shadow form is harmless on its own. it has no teeth or claws. it’s voice mimics a whale call. a mourning, crooning noise, not a roar or a snarl. the destructive capacity is in its reaction, in the pain that rejection and humiliation and persecution has caused it.

as much as i relate to nimona more often through the “socialized girl child” and “queer child in a religious family” concepts within the film and book….. i’ve never seen myself so strongly as i did in the scene where nimona becomes the shadow form. the pressurized roar of grief and loss that they let out right before… i know that sound.

ND Stevenson's SPOP Character playlists

This came up on Twitter so I figured I'd post it here too!

ND Stevenson has character playlists for Adora, Catra, She-Ra (yes, separate from Adora), Glimmer, Bow and Scorpia on Spotify. They are all linked on his profile above.

I feel like they add another layer of nuance to understanding how he wrote the characters if you want to give them a listen.
