No But Ambrosius Is So Clearly An Impulsive Guy Who Always Acts Before He Thinks, Especially When There's

No but Ambrosius is so clearly an impulsive guy who always acts before he thinks, especially when there's big emotions involved. How many times did Ballister tell him to think before he acts? Ambrosius isn't sure, but as he watched Ballister's arm fall to the floor, he really wished he had taken the advice to heart

No but Ambrosius and Ballister having completely different love languages, so they're trying to flirt, but neither of them picks up on the other person flirting

Ballister grew up in a world where no one ever helped you out, so to him the biggest display of care and the way he mainly shows love is through acts of service, figuring his actions will say much more than his words ever will. He's bringing Ambrosius lunch, helping him carry his training equipment and all that sort of stuff

Meanwhile Ambrosius grew up with everything handed to him before he could even ask for it or want it while never really having much of an emotional connection before he met Ballister, so he shows his love through his words and physical touch. He's constantly complimenting Ballister, telling him how much he admires and cares about him and constantly giving him hugs and snuggling him

They don't realize the other loves them back that way until one day Ballister is sick with the flu and Ambrosius brings him soup. And in his fever ridden brain Bal is like 'oooh, love :)' and so without thinking he goes "I love you too" xbxhxb

No but I'm absolutely obsessed with the concept of Amb and Bal not really hanging out much until their teen years and then it's still mostly surface level and quick convos during class work and Ambrosius is like wanting Bal to hang out with his friend group so badly, but obv they're a bunch of jerks (fucking Todd is part of it, need I say more) sorta like that episode in season 1 of Heartstopper

“I’d kill for you. Please ask me to kill for you.” “No.” Is a top tier ship dynamic no I do not take criticism

Find it so funny that Ambrosius sees his boo get a new bestie and as soon as he has a reason to get rid of her he's like "let's murder her - together!" Like, Ambrosius babe, that's the opposite of romantic...

Everybody likes the line from Nimona "If you don't then you're going to die in this closet!" bc it's a funny little queer joke but I think that Ballister's response is actually more interesting.

He says, "Die?" and you can see on his face he has no idea what she's talking about. This is the first time that he's actually being confronted with the fact that there will be no mercy shown for him. He thinks if he talks to Ambrosius or the Director they can work something out, but Nimona knows better. It takes him half of the movie to figure this out but I think this line does a good job of demonstrating how he's thinking of the situation.

They're literally chopping down the door behind him, nearly hitting his head with axes, and he's still convinced that they wouldn't kill him if given the chance
