    The Nimona book is great tho

    I don’t get why the fandom is mostly about the film, the comic is different and arguably better. I have a Czech copy and I’d like to donate it to the library after I stop procrastinating and figure out how to sneakily un-deadname the author on the cover (probably involves a high-quality scan, glossy paper and color laser printer). The current printed name is Noelle Stevensonová, which is explicitly female with that suffix. The author’s chosen name is now ND Stevenson, which would probably go as N. D. Stevenson on a Czech book cover so I’ll use that.

      Yeah, I heard great things about it back in the day, but never read it myself. It was a webcomic originally, no?

      I am kinda curious about how the comic is compared to the movie, because I only watched the movie because I remember people loving the comic and got curious.

      Instead I was assaulted with all the worst traits of my millennial generation’s online quirks and I regret that I kept watchingbn it with the hope that it would pull itself together by the end. But no. Full on, unbearable, awful millennial cringe from start to finish. The “I watched Shane Dawson and played the ukulele” crowd must love this movie. Yuck.

          Yeah, I think you’re right about that because I remember when it was published and some people in my social sphere were annoyed that the comic was removed from timblr(?? I think??). They all wanted to buy the book anyway, but were sad that it was removed from the internet which I understand.

            I pirated the book in English but also bought a Czech copy for my younger sister who couldn’t speak good enough English yet. The Czech translation is not available on the scene AFAIK.
