#thoughts with nico

[merverse]

thinking about how they said grover was affected the most out of everyone bc he was alone and how nico and bianca stayed for 70 years inside that hotel and didn't forget each other bc they were always within reach and how that little detail makes their story even more devastating bc they got through it together and the moment they got out they get separated and then bianca never comes back

Just a little guy.

More thoughts on this.

the HOO character concepts were pretty genius

take a trope for a god kid, turn it around, then give them the necessary power boost so percy no longer has to feel like the sole force of nature who had to dunk himself in the styx, which gets you:

- a Zeus kid with bad eyesight who's plagued by self-doubt

- an Aphrodite kid who hates artifice and wields truth like a knife

- a Hephaestus kid with sarcastic humor and burning rage

- a Hades kid representing jewels and magic instead of skeletons

- an Ares kid who's chill and clumsy (and terminally ill, unless I'm reading too much into the metaphor)

it's a pretty good combo! they're so interesting! you could do so much with these stereotype-breakers

+ classics are classic for a reason (see: power of the sea distilled into one dude, ghost king constantly on the brink of death, purple-cape-wearing action superhero, and blonde batman.)

I’m sorry guys but this is exactly how Nico looks in my head about 90% of the time

my personal favorite interpretation of Nico's confession to Percy in BoO and Percy's reaction is that. Nico was one foot in the grave at the time - heavily injured, exhausted, probably suffering from blood loss, actively turning into shadows, etc etc. And he mentions himself several times that he's not acting quite like himself, such as smiling a lot and his mind wandering and his vision being unsure. Dude is OUT OF IT. He is one strong breeze away from crumpling on the floor and falling unconscious for multiple days (again).

a.) no wonder Will was like "three days in the infirmary now. you will melt into a puddle if you try and summon a wishbone." cause Nico was probably standing there with a glassy look in his eyes waving like a leaf in the wind on the verge of collapsing.

b.) just imagine Percy's pov: The guy you've known for three years stumbles up to you on the verge of death, clearly still bleeding and half-fading into nothingness. Obviously a little delirious at best. Normally he's extremely awkward talking to people and hates physical interaction and every time he talks to you he looks like he wants to run away as fast as possible. You are 80% sure he wants you dead but is trying to be polite about it. He walks up to you with the confidence only someone suffering from extreme dehydration/major blood loss on the verge of passing out can have, tells you that you're not his type, high-fives your girlfriend (who you thought he had a crush on?) (you weren't even sure he knew what high-fives were. you're still not sure he does) and stumbles off without finishing the conversation. You ask your girlfriend if she understands what the hell just happened. She has no idea either. You decide to chalk it up to him having no idea what was going on either.

Three days later Nico wakes up in the infirmary in a cold sweat, having remembered that interaction and goes "WHAT HAVE I DONE?!"

This was supposed to be for yesterday's prompt of TOApril but since it's far more related to TSATS than to TOA here it is as random art 😔👊

Take this as a "TSATS but Apollo doesn't revert back to being an absent father" AU

At this point I don’t even know if we can actually hear Nico calling Bianca in the background, or if we’re all so delusional we’re having collective auditory hallucinations.

[h0rsegirlpercy]

So what you’re telling me is that now when s3 drops and Nico is introduced as this little kid obsessed with Mythomagic Percy will actually know about it and be able to talk about it with him

[echo-stimmingrose]

Piper: Percy, what's your type?

Percy: Annabeth

Piper: That's sweet.

Thalia: It's also a lie, his type is blonds

Percy: That's not true!

Thalia: The first person you ever had a crush on was a blond man.

Percy: I met Annabeth long before I met Jason.

Leo: *spews water* Jason???

Thalia: I was talking about Luke.

Percy: I never had a crush on Luke!?!

Thalia: That's bullshit.

Leo: Are we gonna talk about the Jason thing or... No....? Okay.

Percy: No it's not!

Connor: It most definitely is.

Percy: What?

Travis: You blushed every time you were around him.

Percy: I- I did not!

Clarisse: Yeah you did.

Percy: No....?

Nico: Even the way you talked about him sometimes I could tell you had a crush on him at one point.

Percy: *flabbergasted* I- I huh???

Percy: Did I????

Annabeth: *walks over* Hey Perce can you- What did you guys do to him?

Percy: *wide eyed staring at the ground, mumbling incoherently*

Thalia: He's having an existential crisis, give him a minute.

Everyone loves to talk about how Percy gave up godhood for Annabeth (false, he did it himself and seeing Annabeth reminded him of Luke's last request), but no one likes to talk about how Percy chose the great prophecy so that Nico wouldn't have to bear it? He did that for Nico. And when he hears the actual prophecy and finds out that he's going to die, he doesn't back pedal and try to get out of it - because that would mean Nico would die. He sticks true to his decision to take on the great prophecy and die for Nico. And then when he doesn't die and gets one wish from the gods, he makes them give Nico a cabin at chb so Nico could have somewhere he's welcomed and safe. I-

Jason, on the phone with Percy: keep your eye on Nico, he has a tendency to wander off.

Percy: Jason, wh-what (looks around and notices that Nico is gone) I'm totally capable of that...

Jason: you lost him, didn't you?

Percy, running around the grocery store frantically: no no no, he's right next to me.

Jason: I can hear it in your voice. Look in the dairy case.

Percy: do you honestly think he'd fit–

Percy: sees Nico standing in the dairy case and trying to pull it open.

Jason: the doors don't pull, they slide.

Percy: slowly slides the doors open.
