i am gonna do an apology post for all that angst of my three posts. Just to push you all again in despair :)

@mediumgayitalian dw i can also make fluffy things more than heartbreaking angst, but suffer is my best dish

Nico canonically being the least dense and the most sensible when it comes to relationships and romance among the big three kids lives rent free in my mind

Do people not have media literacy? BOTH the Underworld and Tartarus were literally KILLING Will just by him BEING THERE. His health started dropping as soon as they really got there. It wasn't outright stated, but that's what context clues are for. He's basically a flower, which is extremely ironic with Apollo's love history. Flowers wilt, and die, without sunlight.

Yeah, Nico is a child of the Underworld, and Will needed to accept that he didn't need to be constantly saved. However, it's in Will's nature to be against the Underworld in a mental mindset. He lost every single one of his siblings except for TWO during TBOL and Manhattan. Events we NEVER see him mention (probably because Rick is really bad at having characters that aren't a select few ever have their trauma brought up, but yknow) to anyone.

Will isn't the only one that had things to work on, though. If Nico hadn't thought things out rationally, hadn't calmed down before thinking, he could've been the indirect reason Will died in Tartarus. The thing is, Nico STRUGGLED to think rationally, and we see it when he lashes out on Will before thinking AFTER the fact.

Bottom of the line: Will isn't a bad person for not liking the Underworld. And it's something he says he's working on at the end of TSATS, so people shouldn't fault him for it. The entire point of the book was them both having problems & their relationship not being all sunshine & rainbows.

A couple of PJO/HOO headcanons

(but make it color coded)

Leo is a perfectionist, meaning he’ll spend about a month working on one thing, even if it works perfectly, to make it as good as humanly possible

Nico tend to shadow travel behind people, unintentionally (or intentionally if it’s Percy or Jason) scaring them

Jason is (was) extremely Forgetful of common things (Names, fighting moves, Where he put things, etc)

Percy makes amazing baked goods (cookies, pies, bread, etc) but is Terrible at simple foods (sandwiches, pizza, steak, etc)

If piper speaks sarcastically (Telling her friends (mainly Leo) to go jump off cliffs) most of the time it works as charm speak

The only thing Annabeth hates learning about is Dinosaurs, for no reason in particular (it’s just funny to me)

Nico is extremely particular about anything pasta related, criticizing it as though he was a food critic

Valgrace <3

Nico is extremely against cursing, while Will will curse like a sailor

Percy’s love language is gift giving and physical touch

There is a rule in camp that NO ONE is allowed in the water at the same time as Percy

The seven (and Nico and Reyna ) have a weekly Meeting (picnic/hangout)

the rage I feel when reading Blood of Olympus chapters 45-56 is almost equivalent in magnitude to the absolute joy I experience when reading The Last Olympian chapters 1-23.

remember when percabeth was good? when they meant the world to each other but had other people they cared about (nico, for one. both of them. so much), other worries and other storylines aside from their romantic plot? and when nico's completed arc wasn't repeated for no reason other than to dump more trauma on the youngest character in the series? when background characters were included in the story not for all the unnecessary last minute romantic subplots but because they were fun and fascinating to learn more about? and were actually friends with main characters? remember when grover was percy and annabeth's best friend forever? and antagonists were actually interesting and intimidating and had compelling goals? and the story revolved around friendship and family and loyalty? and death was definite and loss was palpable and battles were thrilling?

yeah. good times.

If two single characters start arguing in a "they're so annoying" way and not an "I hate them" way in a Rick Riordan book, you know those two characters are going to get together eventually.

honestly i think the counterpush against the toxic notions of “love will fix you” and “i can love them better” have swung too far and now people are saying things like “you can’t love someone else until you love yourself” and “it’s unhealthy to seek comfort from your partner when you’re mentally ill”

like let’s be fr here. the number one most effective intervention for mental illness is social support. i honestly think the devaluation of friendships and other non-romantic sources of emotional support has contributed to this issue — the common unhealthy extremes being “your romantic partner will heal you with love” and “you need to heal yourself on your own.” expecting a mentally ill person to recover entirely alone is not only cruel, it’s unrealistic and infeasible without social support. thus, it’s normal and healthy to rely on your romantic partner for comfort and support. it’s just that it BECOMES unhealthy if they are the only or the main source of comfort and support in a mentally ill person’s life.

so no, dating someone who loves you won’t fix your mental illness. but not having to cope with it alone damn well helps.

Wanna hear a really sweet solangelo headcanon?

So, I have a Will headcanon that he’s an adventure time, steven universe, gravity falls, svtfoe, infinity train, the owl house, and basically cartoon fandom bisexual nerd (along with sci fi and detective/ mystery thriller but tht’s besides the point).

One of his first songs he learned on ukulele and guitar are songs from adventure time and steven universe but his fav to play when he’s stressed or “stimming” is the Island Song (or come along with me/ adventure time end credits).

Before they started dating, Nico one day was having a panic/ anxiety attack or was just overstimulated and stressed and spotted Will under a secluded tree or in the strawberry fields (idk) playing the Island Song. He was listening from afar and surprisingly, he felt calmer and at ease.

Now whenever Nico has a nightmare or is overstimulated, Will would sing or hum the Island Song. Sometimes Nico would get lulled to sleep or would quietly sing along with him.

Bonus ramble: Also, Island Song is the easiest song to learn on ukulele and guitar, tht’s why imo, it’s a good “stimming song” and the lyrics is really sweet in this scenario too 😭 like it’s such a simple song yet has a lot of depth to it too, okay I’m done rambling.

The Percy Jackson fandom really needs to learn how to tag properly lol

Edit: it occurs to me that my habit of talking in the tags makes this post harder to reblog and get my point across. While I didn’t actually intend for the fandom to see this initially, I have decided that it annoys me enough to make this reblog-friendly. So here’s the tags I originally put down:

[akalikai]

i did wonder where the doorkeay/gerrymichael obsession came from and then I found my answer very quickly

Sigh long haired twinks save me

[rafyki]

I really can't understand why, but there's so much useless discourse in the pjo fandom - about ships, about interpretation of characters, about headcanons, and all stuff like that. Like, are most people in this fandom unable to have fun?

I mean, I've been in the fandom for ten years now, and (maybe it was bc back in the day I was in the Italian fandom) but back then there wasn't this much discourse???

Please, just learn to have fun, that's literally what fandoms are made for

[eewtp]

Chalice of the Gods, Wrath of the Triple Goddess…

Nico and Will I’m sorry you two go stuck with the title that you ended up with

[rosesradio]

seeing solangelo discourse is so funny to me bc it’s like ‘there might be a slight age gap maybe!!’ or ‘will and nico's bickering isn’t Good Bickering it’s Bad’ like have you ever simply considered no one really gives a flying fuck about william solace as a character and solangelo is just as bad a ship (if not worse) than caleo and the only reason people like it (or even tolerate it) is because it’s a canon gay ship with one of the most popular characters in the series

[pain-is-too-tired]

Everyone goes "ha ha, Nico's two crushes he has in his life are both blonde" but no one talks about Annabeth,Nico and Leo(if your count Valgrace) bonding over their goofy blonde boyfriends and I'm done with it

Also, Percy, Will and Jason bonding over their partners with self destructive tendencies when hyperfocused. Leo and Nico especially are in the infirmary way too much fdgdd

[curseofdelos]

Notes:

The first two options are different! The first is a catch-all tag for all RRverse books; the second is for the PJO series specifically.

I didn't include the show/musical/movie tags because I am specifically interested in what book fans are doing.

This is a survey, not a popularity contest, so please answer honestly. Don't just pick whatever's your favourite series.

Elaboration in the tags or replies are highly encouraged!

I think about the similarities between Will Byers and Nico di Angelo daily
