i know one of the main arguments against asexuality is dying alone but tbh i'd rather die alone than die unhappy

The purple thing is the moot banner, and you should be able to understand by context clues the rest

No? I was just lucky I guess.

It's not 5am where I live, it's 2pm.

If it's 5am where you live, go to sleep, please

One of my favorite things about solangelo is that it’s the relationship that requires the most effort to make work. Percabeth are Thee Battle Couple Friends to Lovers Icons. They went through everything together from puberty to literal super hell. Their bond was pretty much inevitable. Frazel is a little like that, questing together through HoO, being unpopular in the legion together, and eventually becoming co-leaders. Even outside Fierrochase from MCGA became a questing couple facing the end of the world together.

Nico and Will don’t have any of that. Yeah technically they were both in Manhattan and did interact during the war with Gaia, but they didn’t actually fight together. Will is a long-term camper. Nico is a traveler. Neither one of them has any idea what the other went through outside of what they’ve been told and with that comes a level of intimacy no other couple has been able to meet for me. They won’t just Get It. Will won’t just Get that sometimes quests require you do to Dumb and Reckless Shit to survive and Nico won’t just Get that being the one Left Behind and Hoping that your loved ones Come Back while you can’t go after them (and no I don’t even think his experience with Bianca would save that, Bianca was Leaving Leaving either way that that was the issue, not the dangerous quest).

I don’t subscribe to Total Opposites Solangelo, but there are quintessential differences that would make a relationship a lot of work for them and I love to get into that. I already beyond Camper Will and Traveller Nico, Will is the Healer and Cabin Leader meaning he is rarely allowed to express his actual feelings. Nico, on the other hand, can and will tweak out whenever he sees fit. Nico lashes out with his anger and Will internalizes. I can see this being an issue with arguments — Will not truly expressing how upset he is with something and building up negative feelings that he never deals with or expresses to Nico which is Not Good.

I think a lot about Nico’s traveling — Ambassador duties, Ghost King duties, general Nico Just Doing Shit duties (i.e. the Trogs) — and how that works with Will’s anxiety and desperate for Nico to be safe mentally and physically. How would they manage that? Nico is used to going where he wants when he wants for as long as he wants but obviously when you’re in a relationship that doesn’t work. I would think that would be one of their first fights — Nico not used to having to explain himself and inform people of his plans and whereabouts and Will struggling with his anxiety and control/abandonment issues. They would figure it out because I would die if they didn’t but I do think it would be a rough fight that would reveal some of their fundamental differences.

And that’s what it all comes down to. They need to work on themselves and relationship in ways that no other canonverse couple has to in my opinion. They have a lot in common, sure, but the differences are so interesting and have the potential to not only cause issues in their relationship (TSATS you will always be famous) but also trigger so much communication, understanding, and mutual care and support that they give me unparalleled brainworms. The intimacy that comes from willingly sharing the Bad parts yourself and your life. The relief that comes your partner actively going outside of their experience and worldview to understand those parts of you.

Solangelo you will always drive me mad.
