I ramble in the tags btw :D

non-exhaustive list of canon powers Nico di Angelo either has shown or is heavily implied to have:

Shadow-travel

Manipulation of shadows/darkness (also possibly use of shadows as a pocket-dimension a la Magicians using the Duat in The Kane Chronicles)

Becoming intangible/shadows

Complete control over skeletons/bones (dead or alive, including summoning, reanimation, and/or changing shape of them) and being able to sense their presence

Summoning, reanimating, commanding, and dispelling the dead/undead (Skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc & varieties) and being able to sense their presence

Ability to understand/communicate with the dead/undead and potentially other beings of the Underworld

Inherent complete comprehension of Latin

Ability to perceive the usually unperceivable/possibly look upon a deity’s true form without repercussion (at least moreso than the average demigod, though possibly is restricted to chthonic beings) (ex: Tartarus, potentially also interacting with his parents, etc)

Interacting tangibly with ghosts (implied to be a Ghost King thing rather than a Hades/Pluto thing)

Partial or complete immunity to different effects of the Underworld/things within (can consume food/drink of or in the Underworld without repercussions, effects from the Lethe wear off over time instead of being permanent like usual for mortals, etc)

Astral projection/”Walking in dreams”

Dream manipulation and projection (Sending dreams to others, etc.) (presumably includes sharing/projecting dreams with others) alongside inflicting sleep upon others even from a distance.

Illusions

Manipulation of emotions/aura that inflicts specific emotions on others (ex.: radiating fear/death onto enemies)

Projection of emotions and memories onto others (can be so forceful it causes physical damage like a shockwave)

Geokinesis (all forms but also specifically generating black marble) (presumably also specialized control over precious gemstones & non-paper currency)

Temperature manipulation (seemingly only lowering temperature)/creating frost)

Control/manipulation of souls, including living beings (ex: ripping out Bryce Lawrence’s soul)

Perceiving/reading/judging of souls (most likely also a Ghost King thing over Hades/Pluto thing, but possibly both)

Converting living into dead/undead, aka instakill (ex: disintegrating monsters to bone with one touch)

Lowering or manipulation of own vitals (breathing, heart rate, etc)

Death Trance/pseudo-hibernation (possibly also general control over states of consciousness at least for self, in combo with control over vitals & dreams)

Sensing death (impending or when it occurs, sometimes receiving dreams/visions of it occurring)

Able to sense other children of Hades/Pluto (potentially also other chthonic beings in general/able to identify based on sense alone) and also just living beings in general, such as mortals (possibly via souls).

Improved navigation underground/in the Underworld and ability to traverse restricted or normally unnavigable parts of the Underworld

Enhanced strength/abilities when in the Underworld

Inherently unnaturally quiet (possibly able to silence sound on a designated target)

Hiding/shielding self from being perceived (seemingly related to shadows/silence)

thinking about how ever since ive gotten really into pomni i consistently forget that i can just draw characters hugging. i dont draw her getting hugs despite being someone who tends to draw characters getting hugged a LOT and bc i draw her so often it has stopped occuring to me particularly often that oh yeah, that is still a thing i can draw, particularly with other characters

this one is for my 12 other homies out there who have been on both sides of this meme

i hate reading philosophy omg. endless sentences of the author throwing around random words that probably only made sense to their own brain and then the insight of these "deep thoughts" is stuff like "people behave differently in different settings" or "people don't always act according to their own values" woooowww. and then there are "differing" perspectives on an issue and i'm sitting there reading those and thinking "but none of that negates the other??? it can both be true??????" oh and then also usually the issue is just that language is ambigous and it can be hard to put your thoughts into words.

Oh! 💢 and 🏆 for Alice (or anyone else from the pirate story you wanna talk about)? c:

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK GABE ^^ im gonna be spinning a wheel to see who to answer these for!

💢 - Person they can't stand

alice- god. So many people. her tolerance for others was already gutted early (thanks uncle), but between being a pirate and her general impatience she has a List. the most annoying one currently is the rival crew (which is still being workshopped 😔) but the future one has to be. ede. again. ede is a Time for the crew.

vale- vale is extremely fun because they have seemingly endless patience but internally theyre a total bitch. absolutely judging everybody. the current crew isnt an exception but somebody that truly annoyed them was with their previous crew, which were a group of definitely-not-illegal merchants. one of the merchants was an incredibly lax, kind of a shit person that constantly got on their nerves for shits and giggles.

🏆 - Best friends (past, current or future)

alice- hans. theyre both such assholes to eachother but they are Besties your honour. i really need to write something with them sometime, but the long and short of it is that theyre both just similar enough that when they work together they Work together, but that similarity also leads to a lot of arguments considering theyre both quick witted people with strong convictions in themeselves.

vincent- oh uh. hm. this is kinda sad but vincents best friend is sofia, who he only met at the start of the story. being a prince meant that vincent was pretty socially stunted, since he was thrust into politics and competitive nobility pretty young. it messed a lot with his perception of other people. sofia was the first person that wasnt a part of his immediate family that he consistently talked to and had genuine fun with.

questions from here!

made my very first ever shader in shadergraph :-)

My favorite ideas ever are:

Otherworldly beings but make it theoretical physics

We've been raised in 3 spatial dimensions + 1 temporal dimension. But there could perfectly be creatures hiding in the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th… spatial dimensions, maybe even other temporal dimensions. That's how they avoid interactions with humans.

Edit: bonus points for suggesting that the afterlife/etc. are in the higher dimensions

Nothing is faster than light

Light is information, light is something. But nothing is faster than light. As in, literal emptiness, darkness, absence.

If you cast a shadow of your hand onto the moon, and moved it, that shadow would've "moved" faster than light.

Darkness replaces light, faster than light could ever travel.

trying to remember the language my professor agreed with as it pertains to the language difference between the mass/flavor eigenstate picture as it pertains to the differences between quark mixing and neutrino mixing and like realistically, just going back to the drawing board, literally, and drawing the matrices out is probably the best option, but tired >:(

i literally only have one super duper important thing i have to do my entire life to survive and that is to be kind to my own body and mind. why the fuck can't i do that

[mummer]

need a new creative project or i’ll go nuts….

[unproduciblesmackdown]

also quite the illustration in wags being like "'not asking permission' - wags" and plowing through someone expressing a physical boundary but he was already intending to use physical violence & violation & assumed corresponding distress as a tool to get his way....amidst the typicality, "correctness," permissibility of all that around here like five times an hour

Idek what to do meds wise tbh =___= I'm really normal besides being autistic, which isn't me making a demeaning joke or w/e, I'm just not accepted by most people because of it. I am, by desogn, harmless. The worst things I've said are vent posts on Tumblr which is argue proves my softness because I'm venting on Tumblr and not killing or w/e I wanted to do in the past. I'm very stable and I don't really shoot myself in the foot very often unless I'm faced with trauma i suppose.....? In delusion I'm either very happy or terrified but that's NEVER of anyone I know besides like social death. Ultimate soft uwu bean. Pupper can do no wrong. I'm trying to get mood stabilizers which I don't think I'd need if I wasn't at home, k nevermind I remembered my episodes at csssa. Yea I need em. Post over no more 2am contemplating
