Ballister - Blog Posts

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

When you wake up in your bed in the middle of the night

With your head on your hands, you're nothing more than Gloreth's Descendant

And when you think about me, all of those years ago

You're standing face to face with

"I told you so"

Just a thought, but what if:

Villain Ballister au, but Nimona is dead and he goes ape shit about it

I was watching John Wick and I thought of this idea: This is when Ballister and Nimona were having their argument and Nim leaves, but Bal wasn't followed by Todd and the other knights, so they didn't show up. So Ballister had some time to think for himself and realized his mistake, before looking at the news to see that Nimona has been killed (this is where she hasn't turned into her shadow form, idk how but just roll with it). Ballister goes "Okay, you made me feel like an outcast, treat me like shit, framed me for killing the queen on my ceremony, and now killed my sidekick when I just thought about apologizing to them! You want me to play the villain so bad? Fine, let's play." Then goes ape shit killing everyone (John Wick style) in the institute as revenge for Nimona.

Like I said, just a thought.

Random theory because my mind is random.

What if Ballister was secretly the biological son of Queen Valerin? I am aware that some say that the queen might be infertile because she has no heirs, but what if Ballister was her rainbow child?

Imagine this: - After years of trying, the queen miraculously managed to get pregnant. One the day of the birth, someone took the baby and just lied to the queen that she had a miscarriage. - Or a Rapunzel version where the queen was aware that her baby was kidnapped and has been trying finding him for years. Most thought that the potential prince was forever gone or dead and Valerin was also starting to think of that. And another scenario but in a what if the queen survives: One day Val and Ballister were just having a regular conversation when she noticed a birthmark on Ballister and she recognizes it as like some royal birthmark or the same birthmark as hers.

Ballister: Explain to me why are you on the news right now?

Nimona: I had a fist fight with a news reporter

Ballister: What?! Why would you do that?!

Ambrosius: The more important question is, did you win?

I am very tempted to make a Resident Evil: Village version (Specifically Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters) of an au that I have not posted yet.

"Why would you make a Resident Evil version of your nimona au?"

Because in that au, Ballister is not human, and is very tall, and I have 3 goldenheart children ocs, it fits them perfectly! (Or maybe I should have only 2 children oc and have Nimona be the third...)

But I probably have to post that au and the goldenheart children before I post the Resident Evil version...

Disclaimer: I have actually never watched Resident Evil before, but I have seen a few clips of Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters and that's where I got the idea from

News reporters after finding out that Ambrosius was dating a commoner (pre or post Nimona)

Reporters: How does it feel as the direct descendant of Gloreth to be dating a commoner who wishes to become a knight?

Ambrosius: In a kingdom that is covered by tall white wall that were made by my great grandmother, I wear it like the fucking badge of honor.

That one reporter: What about the rumors that Ballister is a worthless commoner who doesn't deserve to be knight and is just using you-

Ambrosius: WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT??!!

I made this 5 hours ago, I just forgot to post it :p

Sharing some of my unfinished Nimona aus because... well... I just thought of sharing it, Part 1.

I call this the Golden Guardian au

Same events for this au, but Ballister is a guardian angel

He was originally Gloreth's guardian angel (not sure if I should do it before or after she met Nimona). Before her death, Gloreth prayed for someone to protect her descendant and guide them to good. And since Ballister was her guardian to begin with, he got a new job to be the guardian angel for her descendants for the next generation until the bloodline has ended.

Ballister took his job seriously to protect and guide Gloreth's descendants so that they could end up in heaven. After seeing at lease 3 or 4 generations feeling pressured to be like their great grandmother, Ballister decided to pretend to be a human and befriend those descendants to help them cope with their pressure in being a perfect knight. He saw how much he helped ease their anxiety, and decided this would be a normal thing he would do for the next generations to come.

Now to Ambrosius. Ballister thought of a different way to get close and befriending to the young Ambrosius, which is to join the knight. For two reasons - Since Ambrosius has been training since probably after being a toddler, he would feel comfortable to have someone close to train with him. - Second reason is that he noticed how awful noble's perspective are with commoners are. And Ballister believed that he can change the mindset of people about commoners by pretending to be one then becoming a knight and protecting them.

So he shapeshifted into a commoner kid then snuck in and, with the power and kindness and help of the queen (may God bless her kind hearted soul), he was given a chance to become a knight.

(Oh how that different approach backfires badly...)

Same thing with the knighting ceremony, the queen unexpectedly gets killed by Ballister's sword and he takes all the blame for it (I can't decide if I should have Ballister lose his arm or not or have angelic regeneration and regenerate a new arm)

Alternative path 1

The stadium screen crashes on top of Ballister, but he surprisingly survives and escapes through the hole on the ground that was made from the crash.

Ballister finds an abandoned tower and hid in there to process what has happened to him. In the end, he decided to return to Heaven to apologize and beg for forgiveness from the queen for killing her, even though it wasn't his fault. And she forgives him because she knows he wouldn't do it.

Ballister returns back to earth to continue his job as a guardian angel, only to see that Ambrosius was a mess because of the whole ceremony incident, Ballister is now wanted in the whole kingdom, and he thought that Ballister dead because of the stadium screen crashing on top of him.

(That's where I left off with alternative path 1, and I don't have enough ideas on how to finish it, sorry not sorry)

Alternative Path 2

Same thing with the whole plot of the movie. Ballister tries his best to find who murdered the queen and prove his innocence.

Nimona (who's still a shapeshifter in this au) finds him in the tower while he was still in his angelic form. They first thought that he was a fallen angel because of the murder incident.

”Should we pillage a village? Oh! Maybe make a cult? Or, lay low until they don't remember and then we RISE LIKE A FIERY PHOENIX FROM THE ASHES AND OVER THROW THE GOVERNMENT! And the people will scream “AHH THE EVIL COMMONER KNIGHT IS ACTUALLY A FALLEN ANGEL AND HE HAS COME TO DESTROY US!!”...…or we could just talk. :)” "I'm not a fallen angel."

He attempts to shoo away Nimona. Reasoning? He doesn't want her to get hurt because of him, he sees him still being too young to even be involved in any of this (Just so you know, Ballister is one of the angels that existed before earth was made)

Skip to near end of the movie (I'm running out of ideas, help me). Instead of Nimona sacrificing himself it's Ballister, he transforms into his true angelic form and destroys the cannon before it could hit the kingdom. Nimona and Ambrosius hoped and prayed that Ballister would come back, but all there was left was white ashes slowly falling like snow flakes, Nimona hugs Ambrosius who hugs her back. Both mourning over what happened.

Physically Ballister is gone, but he was already an angel to begin with so he will regenerate his physical body back again. As soon as he destroyed the cannon he wakes up in front of the gates of Heaven with saint Peter asking if he's okay. He turns around and sees the Director falling down to the fiery pits of Hell (deserve).

Time skip, Nimona gets (platonically) close with Ambrosius only because it would be something Ballister would want from them 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. They smiled as he decorated the "murder wall" and saw one of the pictures that they took together during their small dance celebration. She held the picture close, then- "hey kid." "HOLY SH-"

I am debating if I want Ballister to reveal that he was a guardian angel to Ambrosius or not...

Alternative path 3

It's the same as path 2 but after Ballister sacrifices himself, he was sent to the courtroom of Heaven (yes Hazbin hotel refence) and was given two choices. The first choice was that he could stay as a guardian angel and continue to protect the Goldenlion bloodline like he did before, the second option was that he can become human and live amongst the mortal until his death.

(Your choice on which one he chose :D )

✨ Design Ideas ✨

This is kind of what I imagined Ballister's angelic design would look like... now

(Found this on Pinterest but the original artist is critbit on Instagram)

Another idea design (this one is from puFik 🥀 on Tiktok)

(But their Tiktok account name is aleluia._.0 give them a follow their amazing)

But this was originally my idea for his angelic design

He had two gold halos with many eyes crisscross, covering the upper part of his face. Those two halos can transform into small hoops earring with eyes incase he doesn't want to use the covering halos.

A third halo slowly spinning behind his head, two eyes under his normal eyes (because angels do have a lot of eyes), six white wings with some gold feathers, a small crystal on the center of his back, and white marking all over his body (I added those last two because I thought it would look cool)

Also, for the clothes... I didn't have any ideas...

Some headcannons as well :)

(some are probably canon to my au, it's your guess on which one)

Ballister can hide his wings, his halos, and his many eyes. He can make himself invisible to humans and other creatures. Another fact about his invisibility is that he can make himself visible to whoever he chooses. (There might be some scenarios where people were called crazy for seeing him when others cant... especially with Todd)

During their training years, Ballister developed feelings for Ambrosius, but since it was the first time he fell in love, he wasn't aware that he was in love.

Even in his human form/disguise, Ballister can see and interact with other spirits.

Since I heard that Nimona can see the dead, I thought of this idea that even if Ballister is in his human form to others, he's always in his angelic form in her eyes.

When Ballister is angry in his angelic form, eyes would appear on his body and even some on the air, and the sound of his voice becomes a chorus (-like?)

His angelic sword can transform into different weapons that he could use. Like from sword, to a spear, then to a bow that can magically generate an arrow when pulling the bowstring.

I have a scenario idea where Ambrosius is out late doing his patrol duty when it suddenly rained. After a moment of silence and getting soak on the rain, Ballister used one of his wings to cover Ambrosius from the rain. And that is when Ambrosius first saw Ballister since the ceremony, with a "new" angelic look.

Another scenario is when Ambrosius is in deadly danger, and Ballister is forced to show himself in order to protect him. That is the first time when Ambrosius saw Ballister as an angel.

This is a lot of information about my au and you can definitely tell that this was my favorite...

Anyways, would you believe me if I said that I also made a fallen angel au called The Blackheart Angel au (it was originally made for the comic version, you can also call it An angel with a Boldheart if movie version) and another au called Celestials au? I will be making another post explaining those two aus and maybe a few more of my unfinished aus as well.

Nimona and Ballister after his breakup

Nimona: He doesn't deserve you. If he doesn't treat you right by now, your gone.

Ballister: I'm gone!

Nimona: Now go chop his d!#k off!

Here's More. 👈

Omg, She looks adorable like toothless! 🥰 I found this on YouTube.

Ballister to Ambrosius, both of which are at a club, sitting at the bar: Babe, I'll be right back, got to use the restroom.

Ambrosius, hearing him sit down next to him again: I love you.

The guy who sat down next to him, in an American voice that obviously isn't Ballister's: I'm not gay.

-

Ballister: Amby, it's okay.

Ambrosius, sobbing uncontrollablly: I'M SO SORRY, BAL. I DIDN'T KNOWWWWWWW.

Ambrosius: I’ve only ever said ‘I love you’ to two people in my entire life: Ballister and a guy in a dark club who I mistook for Ballister .
