Is ‘would you fall in love with me’ Valdangelo coded or is that just the brainrot

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

got hit over the head with these

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

Don’t look at it for too long or you’ll see how bad my bubble letters are :)

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

your honour they’re my faves

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

“leo is the only person who can make nico laugh” yeah that’s good. we should also have “nico is the only person who can genuinely piss leo off”

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

u said self indulgent nico hcs?? 👀👀

ajkdsjkkj when I say self-indulgent, it’s Self-Indulgent and i pretty much ignore richard’s canon / haven't reread the books from either series in a long time nor have i read toa but if ur really interested... (long post ahead, sorry!)

nb nico is top tier 

goes by he/they pronouns 

touristcore aesthetic that’s slowly encroaching into e-person territory

he’s The Blueprint

likes thorn from the hex girls (even the reboot ver.) but digs dusk’s look more

how is this related u may ask?

yeah, i answer

idc abt canon so he and drew are bitchy friends and drew rags on his appearance constantly while brushing his hair but throws in self-care tips btwn loving insults

nico: you know im not a boy right

drew: doesnt change the fact you look like a wet rat, sweetie <3

i will forever stand by reynico being (platonic) soulmates and im gonna b extra self-indulgent and say they were friends in previous lives too and that’s why they vibed w each other so well <3 

speaking of previous lives, well.... heh..

(no but really, this hc is kinda embarassing but , if u want elaboration uhhhhhhhhhh)

i know nico only has like. a 5th grade education but i like to think he would be a good student ... if anything i think hades would at least homeschool him with the ghosts of (famous) teachers ??? he seems to be naturally curious and he’s kind of a smart ass (not in a mean way) in canon idk

polyglot nico! polyglot nico! polyglot nico!!!! he becomes the go-to translator at camp ( like he isn't already sjkjskjdk) 

yes he would know asl. why? bc i said so and rick needs to include include some hoh/deaf characters within the greek/roman pantheon <3 (if there is, not counting hearthstone from mcga)

leo finds out abt nico knowing spanish bc he once snorted at a joke he said and now leo won’t stop telling him shit like “¿cuál es la fruta que más se ríe? .... la naranja, ja, ja, ja --”

ironically has the best hair at chb (rick once said the di angelos had silky hair in the titan’s curse i think + reyna said something abt his hair too in boo ?? i'll have to check...) once he cleans up and the aphrodite kids are seething

nico’s hair starting to gray at a young age is also an interesting concept ! i think tumblr user fuocogo drew something ft that and it stuck with me

really self indulgent but he’s roman at heart (maybe even Literally. i read somewhere that an italian fan said the di angelos fit the desc. of modern day romans better than venicians ?? if i find it, i’ll link it >>>)

 i like to think his family are legacies of victoria seeing as he’s always one of the key pieces / an important informant for winning both wars ... plus his grandpa was a diplomat and uhhh idk where I was going w this ngl

speaking of family, I need to know if the di angelo bloodline no longer exists assuming maria was an only child and there was no mention of any other di angelos aside from her parents ..? i like the idea of nico finding out that he has more family tho !!

also I would love it if rick cleared up where and when he met maria pls and thank u <3

I MISS BABY NICO’S PERSONALITY SM ... which is why i propose that whenever one of his friend’s see his eyes sparkling and arms waving while he babbles abt whatever topic, they think it’s really cute !!!! like !! keep talking !! 

 he gets embarrassed when he sees his friends smiling at him but it kinda makes him a bit teary eyed bc it’s been so long since he was able to talk abt his interests without being shut down / forcing himself to keep quiet because he felt like he was being too childish/annoying

what im saying is that he should be able to act like a kid bc he is one !!!! he's 14 !!!!!

he either has the cutest laugh or the weirdest laugh and it strictly depends on who ur asking

i feel like he sneezes like a kitten...............he sneezes and everyone whips their head around to look at him and he’s never wanted to dig a hole and put himself in it more than now

i like the imagery of tinkling bells being associated with him so im gonna sayyy he would have a necklace with a little bell (something like this kinda ??) and yes, leo would’ve made it for him as a joke kinda but not really

valdangelo (either as a friendship or nah) is underrated

like ur telling me this kid has a metal dragon and builds the coolest things ever and nico doesn't even think it’s a little bit cool ?? nah. rr did them dirty.

the kids at camp love him and i won't take no for an answer

he brings out ye ol’ mythomagic figurines to explain/show them the monsters and gods of the greek pantheon

it’s a win-win situation bc he gets to babble abt his hyperfixation and the kids get to learn abt what they're gonna get into in a way that’s better than the camp orientation film (since nico’s literally the only one who’s seen it ((but i think the stolls wanted to check it out too ??)) )

they give him a “camp’s best counselor <3333” mug and he cries abt it to reyna and hazel

yes he’s wearing an unusual amount of friendship bracelets no he's not gonna take them off shut up

unfortunately im team short!nico bc i want 2 see him get engulfed by the hugs his sisters (yes this includes reyna) and friends give him !!! 

he wears demonia platform sneakers / doc martens (and converse but that’s p much a given) thank you <3

piper/nico friendship ... I Need It

they borrow each other’s clothes constantly

leo and them clown on jason  and jason is Suffering but he loves them all so it’s ok 

piper could probably carry nico 

nico stress bakes 

yeah

he and clovis become good friends and hang out in the dream world and u know what, im gonna say they’re cuddle buddies too. clovis seems like he would give nice hugs !

im a sucker for nico having friends from different pantheons too !!! also becoming sort-of friends with gods/immortals of different pantheons !!

the underworld demigod discord gc is cursed; one moment they're all talking abt how they're pretty much fated to stay in the underworld while they're both living and after they die but the next moment someone says they want a hug and a chorus of “yeah...”’s follows.

nico was a momma’s boy most definitely 

speaking of which, i like to think that while him and bianca looked like their dad and mom respectively, it would’ve switched when they got older ?? idk

autistic nico ..... rick make it canon and not btwn the lines......

idk how to explain this one bc it’s just Plain Weird but . i feel like . nico would like?? hang out under his bed ??? maybe i’ll draw a pic or something and edit this later sjjdjkddk

this is just me projecting but he hates looking at mirrors / seeing himself in photos bc the person he sees doesn't match the person he sees in his head ?? if that makes sense ??? like he doesn't look like the nico he used to be bc of how much his appearance changed ? idk

uhhh he sometimes hallucinates, esp when he was in tartarus and in the month after coming out of the jar

maybe i’ll elaborate on this later ..

i need more annabeth and nico friendship pls...... both of them like/liked percy and now he can't stop getting clowned 

HOWEVER.... if I see one more “not his/my type” joke im going to delete my tumblr

speaking of which, i have a conspiracy theory abt Things, but i don't wanna get my ass sniped into next tuesday

introvert leo forcing himself to be the group comedian even though he’d much rather be with machines and extrovert nico who pushes ppl away so he doesn't get hurt but desiring the company of another type vibes. im not gonna elaborate.

his latest hyperfixation is pokemon and his favorite pokemon are gengar and skitty, but jirachi and mimikyuu are close seconds

has a crush on N Harmonia  and a bunch of the male gym leaders no im not gonna elaborate

this isn't a hc but. rick u really gotta stop writing abt ppl automatically distrusting nico because of his appearance / godly parent (although some were kinda warranted based of their personal history even though nico still pulled through in the end)  im getting tired of reading abt ppl wanting to like. hurt him or Actually hurting him for stuff he didn't have control of sjkjsjkdsjkdk (like wtf happened with frank when hazel got poisoned?? I thought frank actually liked nico ahjkjsjkf) 

uhhhhh that’s p much it ??????  sorry for the long ass post .. maybe i’ll write abt him more if ppl really want me to...

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

hey so I wrote this Valdangelo thing. I was gonna make a one shot and put it on my ao3 but idk how to finish this so here:

Leo was not having a good time. Like, don’t get him wrong, he was thrilled he was getting to go out with Nico out to prom. He never thought he’d get to go with to one of these kind of events with a partner. He had been prepared to go with Jason and Piper and stand awkwardly around the snack bar or make funny quips as he third wheeled them. But no, he had someone who wanted to go with him specifically. Someone who thought he was good enough for them and was willing to go with him to some cliche high school event. The thought made him all kinds of giddy.

Still, Leo was good at complaining. And he had many complaints. For one, he was currently sitting in a stiff suit sweating like hell. He was also getting stared down by Nico’s dad. 

Nico’s dad definitely did not approve of Leo dating his son. He wasn’t homophobic or anything. Apparently he was a decent dad despite being so cold and standoffish. No, he just hated Leo. Totally uncalled for. Sure Leo could be loud and obnoxious but still. It wasn’t like he could stop. It was a reflex at this point. 

It was obvious Mr Di Angelo didn’t think Leo was good enough to date one of his kids. Which, ouch. Still, what could he do. He just hated how awkward it got when they were together. It wasn’t one of those things he could fix with a dumb comment or joke. All that would get him was another look of disdain.

While Leo suffered, Nico was upstairs taking his sweet time getting ready. Leo had no clue what he could possibly be doing that was taking so damn long. 

Leo’s prayers for Nico to hurry his ass up had finally been answered when he him stepping down the stairs and oh. 

Any complaints Leo had, he absolutely took back because wow. Nico was wearing a simple suit, black and white with silver accents, but the way it fit him and his stupidly long legs. He’d paired with white gloves and platform shoes that made him taller than Leo (Nico was already half an inch taller but that was not something he would ever admit). His hair was fluffy and curled at the ends like baby bat wings around his face and neck. He had put on eyeliner, something Leo loved, the way it framed his dark eyes, as well as this silver eye shadow.

He looked ethereal.

“Well?”

“Huh?” Leo snapped out of his daze to see Mr Di Angelo’s eyes narrowed at him with a slightly impatient look.

“Don’t just stand there. Compliment him. Be a gentleman,”

Oh, yeah okay, he could do that. He stepped towards Nico, getting a better look. He was looking at him with those big doe eyes of his. The edges of his mouth were quirked up in a slight smile and his beautiful dark eyes sparkled with amusement. Probably at Leo. He also looked slightly nervous. The way he fiddled with the cuffs of his sleeve and shuffled his stance a little. Still, he looked gorgeous, stunning, otherworldly. 

“I, uh, you look… nice,” Leo grimaced. He could just feel Mr Di Aneglo’s disapproving eyes drilling into the back of his head. Nico, the bastard, was (badly) holding back laughs. 

“No that’s not- I, look, what I meant to say” Leo grabbed Nico’s hand and plastered on his classic grin with a sudden surge of confidence “was that you look absolutely beautiful,” 

He wasn’t a flustered mess anymore, something Leo was thankful for, but now he had a strong urge to kiss the hell out of Nico. Too bad Mr Di Angelo was scary as fuck. He settled for kissing Nico’s hand instead.

Nico smiled a little, his ears turning pink. He seemed to be holding back a laugh.

“Well,” Nico averted his eyes to roam over Leo’s face “you look pretty too,” Nico said, holding onto his hand.

“I know,”

Nico swatted his arm.

“Hey! What was that for, you said it yourself,” Leo cried out, with a mock pout.

Goth Nico x Scene kandi kid Leo

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

Leo: I add lmao to all my sentences so no one can tell I’m really depressed

Nico: It’s not working

Leo: Fuck rlly?

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

Leo in Nico’s aviator jacket and Nico in Leo’s army jacket woah who said that

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

Bitches be like: “Ballister and Ambrosious from nimona are so solangelo coded!!!”

WRONG THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY JASICO CODED I DONT MAKE THE RULES OK?

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

Leo doesn’t make eye contact. Especially with Nico. He knows nico can see right through him. His eyes are so intense and filled with overwhelming concern and love. Nico makes eye contact sometimes. Specifically with Leo. Beucase Leo is never honest about his emotions. Nico knows his eyes are intense and make people admit things. If he wants to have an important conversation with Leo he stares right at him beucase he doesn’t want Leo to lie his way out of it. He won’t let him.

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

Leo: My fetish is saying some extremely cornball shit and watching a guy speedrun the five stages of grief as he realises he still wants to fuck me

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

I will always believe that it's such a missed opportunity that Nico and Leo weren't made a couple smh

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

evil scientist x test subject but the subject keeps asking reeeallly nicely for the scientist to do fucked up experiments on them and the scientist is like um.. thats scary... idk... :(

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

I beg. Please. Reread the books. I need the reliance on fanon to stop. Canon is right there.

No one “debated saving Nico”. They all agreed immediately to save him:

When Percy was dreaming of Nico trapped in the jar he said: “‘Nico,’ Percy said, ‘where is this place? We'll save you....’” - Literally the first time he sees Nico, he decides that they’re going to save him

Then after Percy tells everyone at the table, their reaction is: “‘The giants are trying to lure us," Annabeth said. ‘They're assuming we'll try to rescue him.’ / ‘Well, they're right!’ Hazel looked around the table, her confidence apparently crumbling. ‘Won't we?’ / ‘Yes!’ Coach Hedge yelled with a mouthful of napkins. ‘It'll involve fighting, right?’ / ‘Hazel, of course we'll help him,’ Frank said. ‘But how long do we have before... uh, I mean, how long can Nico hold out?’” - Of course Hazel agrees immediately, as does Coach Hedge and Frank

After discussing the seeds, Piper says: “‘That's not much time,’ Piper summed up. She put her hand on Hazel's shoulder. ‘We'll find him. At least we know what the lines of the prophecy mean now. 'Twins snuff out the angel's breath, who holds the key to endless death.' Your brother's last name: di Angelo. Angelo is Italian for 'angel.'’” - Piper agrees immediately and brings up the prophecy which reaffirms the importance of Nico and a key part he plays in the quest, which means they need to save him

Percy introspection and final vocal agreement: “Percy stared at his jelly donut. He had a rocky history with Nico di Angelo. The guy had once tricked him into visiting Hades's palace, and Percy had ended up in a cell. But most of the time, Nico sided with the good guys. He certainly didn't deserve slow suffocation in a bronze jar, and Percy couldn't stand seeing Hazel in pain. ‘We'll rescue him,’ he promised her. ‘We have to. The prophecy says he holds the key to endless death.’” - Which is the set up for what people are actually in such an uproar about, the questioning of Nico’s loyalty even though the question is completely valid as Percy points out here. Nico is more a rogue agent, he does his own thing like when he lured Percy down to the Underworld to receive information about his mother. Sure he didn’t know what Hades would do, but Percy didn’t know there was a deviation to the plan in the first place - a plan in which he was already risking his life, trusting in Nico only to be betrayed even if Nico didn’t mean for it to be one.

Argo II scoreboard right now is 5/8 vocally agreeing to save him, no matter what the rest say, the votes are in favor of a rescue mission, especially with the importance the prophecy places on Nico. The only ones who haven’t vocally agreed to save him are Annabeth, Leo, and Jason.

Leo starts the vocal questioning of the safety and security of the plan: “‘Uh...’ Leo shifted in his chair. ‘One thing. The giants are expecting us to do this, right? So we're walking into a trap?’ / Hazel looked at Leo like he'd made a rude gesture. ‘We have no choice!’” - Leo is simply questioning the plan and Hazel reacts viscerally because she’s so focused in on Nico being in danger that the slightest hesitation seems like a worse problem than it is. Nothing against Hazel, I’d react the same way if it was my brother, but still Leo never said “let’s not save this emo loser” he’s just saying that there is a clear threat posed here that they’re walking right up to

Leo and Jason voice the same opinion: “‘Don't get me wrong, Hazel. It's just that your brother, Nico... he knew about both camps, right?’ / ‘Well, yes,’ Hazel said. / ‘He's been going back and forth,’ Leo said, ‘and he didn't tell either side.’ / Jason sat forward, his expression grim. ‘You're wondering if we can trust the guy. So am I.’” - They don’t question saving him, they question the plan and Nico’s loyalty. For good reason. Again, Nico is established more as a rogue agent. Who’s to say he didn’t side with the giants and is in cahoots with them to lure the Seven into this trap for Gaea to bring Bianca or his mother back? They’re pointing out concerns and questions, it’d be idiotic to go into this situation with a half-baked plan and no backups if they don’t consider all possibilities and Nico’s loyalty has always been up in the air which is a huge red flag in this situation

Climax of the “debate”: “Hazel shot to her feet. ‘I don't believe this. He's my brother. He brought me back from the Underworld, and you don't want to help him?’ / Frank put his hand on her shoulder. ‘Nobody's saying that.’ He glared at Leo. ‘Nobody had better be saying that.’ / Leo blinked. ‘Look, guys. All I mean is-‘ / ‘Hazel,’ Jason said. ‘Leo is raising a fair point. I remember Nico from Camp Jupiter. Now I find out he also visited Camp Half-Blood. That does strike me as... well, a little shady. Do we really know where his loyalties lie? We just have to be careful.’” - And then Hazel blows up and storms off. Frank reassured Hazel that no one was saying that then gave Leo the push to make it clear that wasn’t what he was saying and that’s what Leo was going to do (clarifying his point) before Jason cuts in and defends Leo from the offense that Hazel is on. He reaffirms that they’re just questioning his loyalty, they have to be careful when going to rescue him, they never said they would leave him to suffocate and rot.

Please stop this propaganda and reread the books or at least the wiki. I swear fanon has y’all in a goddamn chokehold.

Anyways, here’s the apology scene so y’all will maybe shut up:

“‘…Sometimes demigods make bad choices.’ He looked sheepishly at Hazel. ‘Like sometimes we're too suspicious. And we speak without thinking.’ / Hazel stared at him. Slowly it seemed to dawn on her that he was apologizing. / Jason elbowed Leo. / ‘Ow!’ Leo yelped. ‘I mean, yeah...bad choices. Like not trusting people's brothers who, you know, might need saving. Hypothetically speaking.’” - Apologizing for being suspicious and not trusting Nico, not apologizing for not wanting to save him, apologizing for their suspicious words against Nico’s loyalties hurting Hazel

[vaguelyhumanoidshadow]

Nico and Leo both like to hang out in weird, tiny spaces. Neither realize this until Nico finds Leo chilling, half scrunched in a closet because he had planned to sit in said closet. They end up squishing together in the closet and are found three hours later, asleep, in the most god aweful, uncomfortable looking position.

And then they question why they have joint pain.
