An old character, a shapeshifter whose forms are various points along a massive 4 dimensional body. Every possible Earthly organic shape within a volume limit is here, just skinless.
the original 2015 graphic novel is more insane than the movie cuz like
exhibit A: nimona expresses liking pizza and ballister at first refuses her asking to order in because the delivery to his mindfuck nowhere lair is expensive . later, when an accident happens and nimona gets upset, he remembers that she liked pizza and offers to order in . if that isnt dad behavior idk what that is (im fatherless)
exhibit B :
they went to a science expo slash carnival . they went undercover . a stand seller mistakes them for a father & son and they just... went with it . he carries nimona around . what the fuck man
exhibit C :
ballister freaks the FUCK out when she gets injured way more than he did in the movie and then proceeds to play board games with her to cheer her up
oops hit tumblr picture limit i will continue my dad ballister propaganda in the reblogs
exhibit D :
nimona gets upset & ballister tries to reassure her . he tries to give her a hug but my poor meow meow babygirl nimona (full of trauma) just . pushes him away . im chewing on drywall .
exhibit E :
the craziest of them all . near the end at the final battle when nimona turns into the big ass dark dragon-axolotl monster, in the graphic novel she actually splits into two, the part of her thats gone off the edge (the monster) and the part of her thats the scared little girl she once was . the backstory in the novel is also a lot different than in the movie :
and .
gawd
this concludes my thesis for my dad ballister propaganda . i will walk outside and set myself on fire now .
ALTok since i don't think i've seen any semi-comprehensive lists of the tumblr holidays for the reddit refugees, here it is.

48hr tumblr blackout proposal
tumblr mobile has seadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.
examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.
the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:
- reverse the recent image viewer update
- scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting
- let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely
- increase efforts against spam / porn bots
- make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam
- let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time
- commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!
- (suggestions welcome!)
to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.
I suggest the 48 hours between the 30th of June to the end of the 1st of July.
this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).
tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).
you can find out the times and dates for your timezone here.
i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!
tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let's make this an indefinite blackout - it's the best way to get results.
(so the blackout would be from June 30th onwards)
staff statements, politician answers, disconnect
i do have to premise, many staff-involved posts are going to be from cyle's blog or written by him. some have other staff contributing to the answer! but he appears to be a sort of main front-end developer, so he's quite literally the most visible staff member, to me at least.
make it accessible? nah, no thank you.
I have seniority, tough luck! 🤷♂️
your gif quality sucks now? here's a solution to a completely different problem :)
getting their disconnect called out
disappointment w disconnect and attitude w older users.
asking for forever? list plz :)
issues w reblog chains
thought it was a bug. it is not.
layout issues:
changes are needed, not this one
issues w video/picture viewer
doubles w accessibility issues
issues w other long standing features
legacy editor (expands on gif link above)
user frustrations and rage
and personally my favorite post
