Let's talk names, specifically, Big Three's children's names, because the fact Percy, Jason and Thalia are all named after three greek mythological figures and the other three just aren't bothers me so much more than it should.
First of all, a lil analysis because there's no diagnosis yet but something ain't right:
Percy is named after Perseus and while he was a hero and so on and so forth, the reason the name is so perfect for him was the mother. Danae protected and soothed little crying Perseus, during a stormy night while they were literally trapped in a wooden box, lost at sea. She cradled him to sleep, or at least tried to, while her herself was scared witless for her life. And Perseus grows up to kill Medusa as a "fake wedding" gift to Polydectes, the dictator King of Sephiros who harassed the hero's mother so she would marry him; Perseus killed Medusa in hopes that this would make Danae free from the bothering manners of the King and when he realised it was just a trick to get rid of him, Perseus killed Polydectes with Medusa's stare (hello?? what the fuck?? Wink Wink)
Thalia is named after none other, even in tradition, a divine daughter of Zeus. Now, I don't actually want to dwell too much on the greek figure because in their tradition, she was the Muse of Comedy and while it was welcomed now and then in ancient greece, it was much more appreciated in roman's culture, especially in the satirical sense of the genre; on that note, in roman culture she was still the godly protector of comedy and satire and idyllic poetry but she was also the representation for one of the three Graces (mild wink, because it's not that hard to see what I'm trying to convey).
Jason is named after one of the first heroes that studies call complex, human, anti-heroic even. He's my fucking favourite. He's a hero alright, but he feels like the role isn't cut out for him. He's insecure about his position as leader of the argonauts (wink wink). He's scared of the mortally dangerous trip he has to go on and lead men on (winK WINK). And he's constantly subject to fate, obscure and unknown that rules over even the most righteous men and reduces gods to spectators (I said WINK WINK goddammit).
Now, how hard was it to find three more figures?
Here's my take:
I would've named Bianca, Antigone. She's the protagonist of a greek tragedy that bears her name. She's the descendant of a cursed family and she fought teeth and nails against an authority that would not give her brother proper burial; those embody the reasons why I would give her the name. One, we can all see where I'm coming from with "cursed family". Two, she fights and rebels against a role that she refuses to fit in: in Antigone's case, it's the silent and obidient woman's status for which the ancient greek society is known. In Bianca's case it's - kind of linked to her girlhood - the parentfied sister role; she loves her brother but she yearns to be free again. Three, Antigone dies, sealed alive in a cave, to give her brother a proper funeral ceremony and this is important for two things: -she values proper burial (yk, Bianca daughter of the god of the dead wink wink), -she would do anything for her brother, because she's her sister and that's unbreakable, no matter how much she despises it (wink fucking wink). And maybe that's exactly the reason Maria, an educated lady, daughter of one of the richest guys in the country that of course knew about greek tragedies and their analysis, gave her the name; she thought it would fit her as a first daughter destined to be sister - because in 30s italy the more children the merrier - in hope she would become one who would do anything for her siblings. Also Antigone di Angelo sounds spectacular and her family would call her Titina, I'm fucking positive.
I would've named Nico, Enea. Enea is: - A Prince (Trojan); - An outcast Prince, a runaway from his very own destroyed city; - An outcast Prince, a runaway from his very own destroyed city that set anchor on the coast of Italy and starts the Roman lineage. Nico is a Prince, technically, and a runaway from his birth place (also due to a war, technically so wink wink). Nico is an outcast, for various reasons that the book explains very thoroughly, most importantly he's an outcast that seeks a home, somewhere stable, so he travels to find it and fails most of the times, some of them making doom falling on him like a goddamn old closet. Now, about the Roman thing, it might be kind of a stretch but for me it isn't so shut the fuck up; Nico is the first official bridge between CHB and Camp Jupiter, between greeks and romans, like Enea is a bridge between trojans and romans. Enea is also famous as a representation of "Pietas" that is not to be intended as pity but as respect towards the elders and the gods specifically, stretched out to be respect (and affection) for the family, as he is pictured running away from a burned down Troy, with his old father on his back and the little son guided by the hand. He's the embodiment of family love and of "no one gets left behind" (WINK WINK). Maria probably studied Virgil's Eneide and she wanted her son to be as beautiful and brave and caring as the hero; and Nico ultimately grows up to the expectations. Also, don't come and tell me Enea di Angelo doesn't go hard as fuck
(btw Niccolò is a greek name, and it means Winner of the Land/People, but he's not a hero so it doesn't count)
(also, I have no idea (and no intention to search it) what's the translation for Antigone's name in English and I have no intention of translating Enea in Aeneas. They are italian, and I don't see you going around translating Bianca in White, thank you very much).
Last but certainly not least, I would've named Hazel, Camille. I've used the French version because of the influence on 30s Luisiana, but I'm naming her after the Volscian Queen Camilla. She is a warrior queen, very close to the goddess Diana (Artemis), character from Virgil's Aeneid and she opposes him (Aeneas/Enea) in his pursue of the land (half a wink because, again, there's something there but I can't figure out what). She's brave, cunning, fast (described as going faster than horses, able to run across the fields without disturbing the wheat; a little wink to Airon) and she has loyal followers who trust her leading abilities. One of her biggest flaws is her coveting for treasure (wink - wink) and it is the very reason for her inevitable death (WINK), attracted by the gilded robes of a priest that she thought they'd make excellent spoils of war.
idk how to end this so just stop reading okay bye

No wait because hear me out on this idea.
Tw: bad parent Janet and Jack Drake. I am NOT sorry I hate them.
Imagine Tim Drake being hit by fear gas but instead of fighting, he just becomes extremely obediant, trembling in the damp dirty corner of an alley.
BUT. Damian is there first, and he finds his greatest i̶n̶s̶p̶i̶r̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ rival shaking like a stray kitten and just gets hit with the greatest wave of guilt ever.
Might write this one if I get time

Fanfiction prompt/storyline #7
Suicidal!Tim Drake, who, after trying to kill himself (and being found by Kon), is on a permanent suicide watch, which means he is stalked by his brothers and friends wherever he goes.
At school, he is stalked by Jason, who applied for the post of English lit teacher. At Wayne Enterprises, he is closely watched by Bruce, and at the Manor he is stalked by Dick (and sometimes Damian).
When he goes out, he is either followed and watched by one of his friends for YJ or others from the Batfam (Cass, Steph, Duke, etc)
Kon spends most of his time at the manor now, closely monitoring Tim, sleeping with his head on Tim's chest, standing outside the bathroom to make sure he doesn't try to kill himself, going out of his way to make it so that there is nothing that can trigger him...

the camp would have rioted if this happened.
i keep thinking of like. if luke ever knew about will’s plague powers. he would have dragged him away from camp kicking and screaming and chained him muzzled to the side of that fucking yacht. the speed at which he would become a weapon to lay waste to camp half-blood.

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

I really love the concept of Tim hiding in small spaces randomly, and his family just completely accepting this as normal behavior.
Like,
Dick, mid conversation with Wally, grabs a cookie from his plate and reaches behind the couch, sticking his arm down there and pulls it up with no cookie. He doesn't falter once in his conversation.
Wally blinks in confusion a few times and then carefully asks, "Did you just... put a cookie behind the couch?"
Dick blinks as well. "Tim is behind there." He said like that should be obvious.
"What?! Dude, has he been listening to our conversation??"
"Nah, he's got his headphones on." Dick says dismissively.
Tim reaches his hand up and taps Dick on the shoulder to get his attention and then mimes writing. Dick hands him a pen.
"This happens all the time, doesn't it?" Wally asked, amused.
Dick snorts and nods. "Are you really surprised? I mean, I hang upside down when i need to think, Damian cuts things, Jason shoots things, Bruce broods. Tim hides."
Wally laughs. "Fair enough, man."
Or,
Mid Justice League meeting, Bruce looks under the desk he's at, grunts and motions to the side of his head. Then, he grumbles "Notepad." A second passes, he straightens up and starts scribbling something onto a notepad.
"What the hell just happened?" Hal asks bluntly.
"Red Robin is under there." Clark says immediately, used to this whole thing.
"Okay... Is there, like, a reason for that?"
Bruce grunts, and Clark says, "He likes it under there."
"Ooookkaayyyy then."

Funny how sex is an irresistible human urge when a man rapes a woman but when a woman gets pregnant and wants an abortion she should have been smarter and thought twice before having sex if she didn’t want a child

I don’t know if it would be better to have will be aware of this and abuse the power to get away with things or for him to be totally clueless and accidentally abuse the power
OKAY
headcanon (dont know if this counts cuz it's just me observing facts and human phycology -kinda-)
Nico and Will are HEAVILY affected by favoritism. okay, and it's really obvious in Nico's case, but Will is totally affected by favoritism, too. AND NEPOTISM. Will clearly spends a lot of time in the big house, ya know where Chiron lives. he's currently the only healer. Oh, you know Chiron's specialty. Chiron totally has a soft spot for my boy. Kay now older campers do it, too. Campers that knew Lee, Micheal, or any other apollo campers look at this man and remember when he was following his siblings around, being forced to come with them to hang out because the child needs supervision. They look at him, and they see their dead friends' baby brother, forced to grow up too fast, and they know all their friends would have wanted was for him to be happy. So he gets away with a lot on that front, too. Especially with Clarisse, cuz that poor girl has so much survivors guilt. and i don't think her and Micheal were enemies, just dumb teens. and she really thinks if she had just sucked up her pride, he (and Silena) would still be here. now NEPOTISM. as everyone who read camp half blood confidential that one book that's totally about concrete knows apollo CREATES camp half blood. WILL'S DAD! this man is basically like the super attendants son. ok does this alone give him special treatment no clearly you've read this whole thing if your here. (thx btw I feel really special now) also this man is head medic just thought about this but it's important. because are you really going to upset the guy who makes sure you don't die from blood loss and the flu. I THINK NOT.
so in conclusion Will is equal if not more of a nepo baby/favorite camper than nico and more people should consider this and make him use this clear advantage. like imagine will gets really hurt and cries out for his brother (cuz teenagers are still children who need support and can cry) and all of a sudden a group of slightly older teens (will was 12 in tlo Micheal was 16 there would be like an average of a 4 year age gap between Micheal friends and Will is use Micheal because I don't know who was just over will in age) all appear and are ready to beat your ahh. he would also totally use this to threaten people. man has power
