I'm terrible pjo gay rep because I fucking love the Cupid scene and won't shut up about it. I think it's an excellently done outing scene and it saved my life. Sorry you didn't like it because it scared you and I'm sorry that we live in a world where queer kids have to feel that way but as someone who has repeatedly been put in the position nico was in that scene I need you to know that the way Cupid was obviously painted in a villainous light and the way Jason reacted 100% gave me the strength to carry on at multiple points in my own life when I was in really terrible situations as a kid facing people like Cupid. It was a triggering scene for many I'm sure and I don't mean to minimize that, but that scene literally changed my world view in so many ways and helped constantly remind me that there were people like Jason who would be there for me if I could live long enough to find them. It's fine to criticize it or question it, but sometimes you also need to take a step back and ask "is this scene for me or is it for someone else" it may not have been what you needed but it was 100% what I needed and I'm so greatful that I read that scene when I was young and all that the memory of that scene carried for me and gave me.
