Why Symbolism With Flowers Is Important For Writers

Flowers can be used to foreshadow events or themes in a story. For example, a writer might use a white rose to foreshadow a character's death, or a red rose to foreshadow a romantic encounter.

Flowers can be used to represent characters' emotions or motivations. For example, a character who is feeling sad might be described as holding a wilted flower, or a character who is feeling passionate might be described as surrounded by roses.

Flowers can be used to create symbolism that is specific to a particular culture or region. For example, in some cultures, the lotus flower is a symbol of purity and enlightenment, while in other cultures, it is a symbol of death and rebirth.

A fun concept: The moment Ambrosius turned 18 (and possibly even beforehand) he had DOZENS AND DOZENS of people ask for his hand in marriage. He turned them down as politely as he could (because he was head over heels for Bal but they hadn't started dating yet) but it gets tiring very quickly until in frustration and as a joke he says

"I'll only marry whoever can best me in single combat."

other people took this VERY SERIOUSLY and it became an actually Thing that was like, televised. Like there was a whole series of "The Fight to win Ambrosius's hand in marriage" and while it was supremely embarrassing, it was also incredibly satisfying to beat the shit out of random people who thought they had a chance with him

(doubly moreso after him and Ballister started dating in secret) A whole set of rules and regulations and like, preparations for this one thing. It certainly dies down after the first like 30 people are thoroughly trounced to Ambrosius's relief

Then the whole thing with Nimona happens and it takes a while to settle down. After making up and rekindling their relationship, Ambrosius and Ballister are out on a date one day and Ballister casually says, "Hey, marry me?"

Ambrosius, as a joke and knowing full well that Bal can, will, and has kicked his ass, says, "Beat me in single combat first" before taking a drink, intending for Bal to interpret that as a yes

And Ballister says, "Alright, " making Ambrosius choke on his drink and cough up his lungs while Bal panics and pats his back

The incident is promptly breaking news all over thr kingdom. It's been a while since the last time the "Fight for the Right" happened and the whole thing becomes an even bigger event than it ever was.

Ambrosius keeps insisting to Bal that he was joking, the answer was Yes of course ill marry you, you dont have to do this you fucking ridiculous man but Ballister just keeps giving him a smirk and going "no i have to follow the rules like everyone else did" and Ambrosius loves him so much but he's also very tempted to strangle Bal for putting him through this

the Duel happens and Ambrosius puts forth all his frustrations about the whole thing into the fight which takes SO MUCH LONGER than any other fight and also absolutely gets his ass handed to him.

He's flat on his back and sweaty and bruised and Ballister is just smiling and then hauls him up and kneels and pulls out a ring and Ambrosius is crying and then they're kissing

later, Bal says, "you know, if you wanted me to kick your ass you could have just asked normally" and Ambrosius starts to lovingly plotting his murder

I can't take it anymore.

I have nimona aus in my head that are just making me shake in place because I have to hold back the urge to scream and run around. I need to share them, might draw them soon if I can.

I'll start with Shapeshifter!Ballister au:

same events happened but with Ballister being the shape shifter.

despite being the monster that everyone feared, Ballister still believed that he can change the mindset of people by becoming a knight and protecting them. So he snuck in and, through the power and kindness of the queen(bless her), he was given a chance to become a knight.

he plans to reveal his true self once he accomplishes a big goal which is to save people from a great danger and gain their trust.

during the knighting of knights when the queen got killed, Ballister escaped by shapeshifting which made the people panic because "aaaa the monster is here and he is a part of the knights!". (Am torn if I should let him lose his arm or not)

ballister hides away in a tower that he accidentally stumbles upon.

the tower turns out to be nimona's hideout (she's human here).

nimona is an outcast orphan and infamous troublemaker that ambrosius had to constantly catch, but despite that, both are close to one another.

ambrosius is aware of her problems and is trying to help her out. So he's pretty soft for her.

she found him and recognized him as the shapeshifter in the news. she immediately asked him to shapeshift cause she thinks it's cool.

upon hearing what happened, nimona helps Ballister in proving his innocence.

skip to the part where he and nimona argue, Ballister tries to push her away because nimona almost died and that he starts to accept that he really is a monster who is bound to bring destruction and despair wherever he goes.

nimona tries to argue back but the institute found the hideout, Ballister escapes to the wishing well.

consumed in his grief, he transforms into a monster and enters the kingdom. Instead of walking to the statue to kill himself like what nimona did in the movie, he stays in one place instead and let's the institute kill him.

ambrosius notices how Ballister just stayed in one place and did not attack at all. It made him reconsider because it's literally the love of his life, they spend years together and there was not a single moment where Ballister had harmed him at all.

he ordered the knights to stand down but was ignored as they shoot Ballister, who in turn cried in pain. It made ambrosius's heart ache. He begged them to stand down

ballister stands up and shows his weak point so the knights can kill him. Ambrosius yells out.

but before they can shoot Ballister and kill him, nimona rushes in to stop everything. She talks him out of killing himself and ballister turns back into a human again.

both hugged and cried in each other's arms, meanwhile ambrosius looks at them from a far. He wants to hug Ballister and apologize for everything that he had done to him but opted to stay at a distance because he doesn't want to disturb them.

ballister looks up though and he can tell that ambrosius really wants to apologize and make things right. Nimona notices this tension and goes to ambrosius to nudge him towards ballister.

he approached ballister before stopping in a few inches to leave some space between him and Ballister. He apologized to Ballister about everything. Ballister accepted the apology with a hug and kiss.

it was happy for moment when suddenly they all heard a loud noise and see that the cannon was being turned towards the kingdom by the director herself because everyone doesn't wanna hurt Ballister anymore.

panic sets in and ambrosius tells everyone to evacuate in hopes that they might make it in time.

Ballister knows other wise. He's made up his mind and plans to save the people by sacrificing himself.

he hugs nimona and kisses ambrosius before sprinting away. Both nimona and ambrosius realizes what he is trying to do but were to late to stop him.

Ballister turns into a phoenix and destroys the cannon before it could hit the kingdom.

nimona and ambrosius hoped and prayed that Ballister would come back, but as the lights starts to fade nimona hugged ambrosius who, in turn, hugs her back. Both mourning over what happened.

time skip, nimona gets adopted by ambrosius and everyone sees Ballister as a hero and honored him.

nimona goes back to the lair where she first met Ballister. She goes inside looking around her, reminiscing of the things they did together there.

she smiled as she picked up one of the characters in the board game they played before.

she held the piece close, then-

"hey kid."

"HOLY SH-"

she called ambrosius afterwards and they all hugged each other.

That's all I have. Might change or add some stuff in the future, but for now have this. Feel free to make fanfics of this.

Actually please make a fanfic of this, I am bad at writing.

Next au is prince Ballister.

[threeshotsofespressou]

I've been wanting to make a fanchild of these two, just so nimona can have a sibling to mess and love with. So meet little Grethyl.

She has Ambrosius's hair and eyes. And she has Ballister's eye, hair and skin color. She has Ballister's passion and personality while she has Ambrosius's confidence.

Her birthday is July 3 (date of when I first thought of her)

She loves otters and she makes her whole family hold hands while they sleep like otters so that her family won't drift away from her.

Nimona absolutely adores her and Grethyl loves nimona in return but as her sister, nimona will still tease her. Nimona may have gotten in trouble for making her cry sometimes. As siblings always do.

[threeshotsofespressou]

I'm so normal about them

Sike I'm not

As per tradition, I made a doodle dump of them and just them, well maybe just one nimona. I also made designs for prince ballitser au and a sketch of shapshifter ballister.

Goldenheart marriage proposal

Ok, SERIOUS question here. Who would purpose first? And if possible I want explanations bc I thought I knew how it would be, but NOW I'M UNSURE

[threeshotsofespressou]

My bad bro. Your variant sounds even funnier anyway (･◡･)

I watched Nimona with my cousin and when Ballister and Ambrosius kissed he was a lil confused like:

-Why did they kiss?

-Cause they're a couple

-Why? Are both of them... that kind? (είναι και οι 2 τέτοιοι idk how else to translate it)

-They're in love

-why?

-cause they're a couple, he told him before that he loved him

-I thought he meant as friends

-no they're a couple

-he should be in love with Nimona (WHAT IN THE HETERONORMATIVITY)

- No, Nimona is a kid (I don't care that's she's 1000 years older) she's like his daughter

-how is he gonna have kids if he's in love with another boy

-he can adopt Nimona

Anyways, he said he liked the movie and would watch it again

[threeshotsofespressou]

I absolutely love how Nimona is a silly little 1h 20m cartoon with also a touching some acute social issues and still being Iconic. Like, DAMN bro try to pull out something like this I dare you. Bloody love this

[threeshotsofespressou]

I have to talk about this because I don't think Nimona is "Copaganda"

I read a post about how Nimona is copaganda because of this scene. Not gonna link it cause it's not about hating on the person who posted something as they are entitled to their own opinion.

But the post pointed out how it was copaganda cause they had Todd, who explicitly talked about torturing "monster Nimona" go over at a memorial site for Nimona and Ballister acknowledging it. The post highlighted how it was annoying cause Todd bullied him for years and the tone of the post was how it made him forgivable? That's the vibe I got from the post anyway.

First, just because Ballister seemed to acknowledge it doesn't automatically means he forgave Todd for everthing, does it? Just like in the beginning of the movie, Ballister would prefer to avoid conflict even if the situation annoyed him. The act of acknowledging could be perceived more as being civil. We all have a co-worker we don't like. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm mostly civil with them.

Second, it's not copaganda cause it's more "giving humanity a chance to be better and start changing their minds from on traditional thinking and how society made them think about things"-ganda. Just because there are cops heavily involved in the plot doesn't mean it's a copaganda. If it was about copaganda, I think they would've shown the knights reacting to Nimona and Ballister like the citizens here.

But the next scene we see the knights is when Ambrosius tells the Director "no" which is more a plot point than making any political statement like "copaganda". Also, compared to the scene showing the people reacting to the hug, where the lighting is bright, the scenes with the knights are shadowed.

If it's copaganda, I think they'd show some emphasis to the knights reacting to it.

I'm not a Todd apologist in anyway. I also hate bullying to the core. I don't even think this scene was meant to redeem him, it was meant to show "people can change their minds." That kinda includes Todd, though.

Todd isn't really redeemed yet, but we don't have to be against him having a chance to be.

Holy sweet mother of oxytocin that's amazing and I will now fixate on that art an au for hours don't look out for me bye

maybe I'll even write a fic since I have zero self control

I had to draw him in fancy clothes, it's the whole reason why I made this au!

Au fact: Ballister wears blue gold and white whenever he goes out in public because it's the colors of his kingdom (more like Queen Valerin's colors). He prefers to wear red and black clothes because he thinks it suits him more, both Queen Valerin and Ambrosius thinks so too. Unfortunately, his teacher, the Director, begs to differ because it looks evil, and he's supposed to be a Prince. It's one of the reasons why he wore blue, white and gold in public because he didn't want to disappoint his teacher.

Bonus!

His mans likes his current outfit more than the uniform and would constantly pray the uniform would be ruined so he could see Bal in his training outfit all the time.
