On May 24, 2013 Blue Sky Studio’s Epic movie was released in theaters. Happy 13th anniversary to this beautiful film! I remember watching it in a theater was decorated like the forest which was perfect for the theme of the film. Thanks to @mxnghttt for continuing to love this movie years later and keep the nostalgia and memories alive!
Nod is confident and daring, but also deeply loyal and protective of you, even at your tiny scale.
He values cleverness and bravery, so he’s impressed when you navigate the forest, evade insects, or help plan strategies despite your small size.
His stubbornness softens around you — he’s more willing to listen and consider your ideas, seeing you as an equal partner in both adventure and life.
Nod loves having you by his side during tiny-scale adventures: jumping across dewdrops, swinging on blades of grass, or sneaking past forest predators.
He’s protective without being overbearing, often guiding you with a hand on your back or nudging you away from danger.
Playful sparring and training is part of your bond — he teases you about your size, but always with warmth and encouragement.
Nod gives you tiny, forest-scale gifts that are meaningful to both of you: a dewdrop carefully collected in a flower petal as a “gem"; a seed or acorn, polished until it gleams, as a miniature keepsake; a tiny feather from a bird or a colorful scale from a fish, chosen just because it reminded him of you; or a piece of a flower petal or leaf, folded or shaped into a heart, as a simple but personal token.
Nod is brave and strong, but with you, he feels safe letting down his guard. He talks quietly about his fears, hopes, and dreams while you rest on a leaf or moss bed together.
Quiet moments are treasured: watching raindrops fall like waterfalls, resting together in a flower cup, or just holding hands under a blade of grass.
Your encouragement strengthens him, helping him make difficult decisions and protecting the forest’s smallest inhabitants.
Nod enjoys playful banter and teasing with you, which adds lighthearted fun to tense situations.
He constantly checks on you, giving gentle nudges or tiny lifts if you get stuck or wobbly on uneven terrain.
His loyalty, bravery, and miniature gestures make your bond feel special, showing that love doesn’t need size to be meaningful.

Summary:
My rewrite of the ending of Epic (2013) because it felt weird that some random kid became the queen and not MK so this is my version where MK becomes the new queen and can go back and forth between big and small
