I beg. Please. Reread the books. I need the reliance on fanon to stop. Canon is right there.
No one “debated saving Nico”. They all agreed immediately to save him:
When Percy was dreaming of Nico trapped in the jar he said: “‘Nico,’ Percy said, ‘where is this place? We'll save you....’” - Literally the first time he sees Nico, he decides that they’re going to save him
Then after Percy tells everyone at the table, their reaction is: “‘The giants are trying to lure us," Annabeth said. ‘They're assuming we'll try to rescue him.’ / ‘Well, they're right!’ Hazel looked around the table, her confidence apparently crumbling. ‘Won't we?’ / ‘Yes!’ Coach Hedge yelled with a mouthful of napkins. ‘It'll involve fighting, right?’ / ‘Hazel, of course we'll help him,’ Frank said. ‘But how long do we have before... uh, I mean, how long can Nico hold out?’” - Of course Hazel agrees immediately, as does Coach Hedge and Frank
After discussing the seeds, Piper says: “‘That's not much time,’ Piper summed up. She put her hand on Hazel's shoulder. ‘We'll find him. At least we know what the lines of the prophecy mean now. 'Twins snuff out the angel's breath, who holds the key to endless death.' Your brother's last name: di Angelo. Angelo is Italian for 'angel.'’” - Piper agrees immediately and brings up the prophecy which reaffirms the importance of Nico and a key part he plays in the quest, which means they need to save him
Percy introspection and final vocal agreement: “Percy stared at his jelly donut. He had a rocky history with Nico di Angelo. The guy had once tricked him into visiting Hades's palace, and Percy had ended up in a cell. But most of the time, Nico sided with the good guys. He certainly didn't deserve slow suffocation in a bronze jar, and Percy couldn't stand seeing Hazel in pain. ‘We'll rescue him,’ he promised her. ‘We have to. The prophecy says he holds the key to endless death.’” - Which is the set up for what people are actually in such an uproar about, the questioning of Nico’s loyalty even though the question is completely valid as Percy points out here. Nico is more a rogue agent, he does his own thing like when he lured Percy down to the Underworld to receive information about his mother. Sure he didn’t know what Hades would do, but Percy didn’t know there was a deviation to the plan in the first place - a plan in which he was already risking his life, trusting in Nico only to be betrayed even if Nico didn’t mean for it to be one.
Argo II scoreboard right now is 5/8 vocally agreeing to save him, no matter what the rest say, the votes are in favor of a rescue mission, especially with the importance the prophecy places on Nico. The only ones who haven’t vocally agreed to save him are Annabeth, Leo, and Jason.
Leo starts the vocal questioning of the safety and security of the plan: “‘Uh...’ Leo shifted in his chair. ‘One thing. The giants are expecting us to do this, right? So we're walking into a trap?’ / Hazel looked at Leo like he'd made a rude gesture. ‘We have no choice!’” - Leo is simply questioning the plan and Hazel reacts viscerally because she’s so focused in on Nico being in danger that the slightest hesitation seems like a worse problem than it is. Nothing against Hazel, I’d react the same way if it was my brother, but still Leo never said “let’s not save this emo loser” he’s just saying that there is a clear threat posed here that they’re walking right up to
Leo and Jason voice the same opinion: “‘Don't get me wrong, Hazel. It's just that your brother, Nico... he knew about both camps, right?’ / ‘Well, yes,’ Hazel said. / ‘He's been going back and forth,’ Leo said, ‘and he didn't tell either side.’ / Jason sat forward, his expression grim. ‘You're wondering if we can trust the guy. So am I.’” - They don’t question saving him, they question the plan and Nico’s loyalty. For good reason. Again, Nico is established more as a rogue agent. Who’s to say he didn’t side with the giants and is in cahoots with them to lure the Seven into this trap for Gaea to bring Bianca or his mother back? They’re pointing out concerns and questions, it’d be idiotic to go into this situation with a half-baked plan and no backups if they don’t consider all possibilities and Nico’s loyalty has always been up in the air which is a huge red flag in this situation
Climax of the “debate”: “Hazel shot to her feet. ‘I don't believe this. He's my brother. He brought me back from the Underworld, and you don't want to help him?’ / Frank put his hand on her shoulder. ‘Nobody's saying that.’ He glared at Leo. ‘Nobody had better be saying that.’ / Leo blinked. ‘Look, guys. All I mean is-‘ / ‘Hazel,’ Jason said. ‘Leo is raising a fair point. I remember Nico from Camp Jupiter. Now I find out he also visited Camp Half-Blood. That does strike me as... well, a little shady. Do we really know where his loyalties lie? We just have to be careful.’” - And then Hazel blows up and storms off. Frank reassured Hazel that no one was saying that then gave Leo the push to make it clear that wasn’t what he was saying and that’s what Leo was going to do (clarifying his point) before Jason cuts in and defends Leo from the offense that Hazel is on. He reaffirms that they’re just questioning his loyalty, they have to be careful when going to rescue him, they never said they would leave him to suffocate and rot.
Please stop this propaganda and reread the books or at least the wiki. I swear fanon has y’all in a goddamn chokehold.
Anyways, here’s the apology scene so y’all will maybe shut up:
“‘…Sometimes demigods make bad choices.’ He looked sheepishly at Hazel. ‘Like sometimes we're too suspicious. And we speak without thinking.’ / Hazel stared at him. Slowly it seemed to dawn on her that he was apologizing. / Jason elbowed Leo. / ‘Ow!’ Leo yelped. ‘I mean, yeah...bad choices. Like not trusting people's brothers who, you know, might need saving. Hypothetically speaking.’” - Apologizing for being suspicious and not trusting Nico, not apologizing for not wanting to save him, apologizing for their suspicious words against Nico’s loyalties hurting Hazel

No 🥺 like can’t we separate the Games from the Capitol?! Like obviously I don’t support the Capitol, but they make such good Games, and sometimes it’s important to engage with art that’s made by someone who disagrees with us 😫 and watching and enjoying the Games doesn’t mean I agree with the Capitol!!! and like, why is the Capitol the only one getting attacked?! What about all the people doing bad things here in the Districts?! Why do we excuse THEM 😭 and anyways, any money I give to the Games I make sure to give an equal amount to small businesses in my District, so really it’s okay!! No guys I swear!! Do you want me to have BAD MENTAL HEALTH?! Do you want me to NOT BE HAPPY?!! There’s no ethical consumption under the Capitol, so please let me enjoy the Games without saying that I support the Capitol and children dying okay 🥹
teenagers in panem saying it’s not their fault they watch the hunger games and cheering on the deaths of the tributes because it’s their hyperfixation and they cant help it :(

Media: Here's an aroace character! We didn't use the word aroace because it didn't exist when our media was made but we did explicitly say this character has never been attracted to anyone and does not possess any emotional feelings attached to sex or relationships.
Fans: Well actually since they didn't use the word aroace (which didn't exist when the media was made) this means that their lack of attraction is somehow not innate and can be fixed by meeting the right person (please ignore how this perfectly mirrors homophobic "you're not gay you're just struggling with same sex attraction and you'll meet the right one someday" rhetoric) and that right person is (looks for closest friendship this character has) is someone of the same gender so this character is gay and if you disagree you're homophobic.

Didn’t really wanna say anything but this is actually quite concerning
TW: R18 dubcon mention
There’s a solangelo Anon author in ao3 that wrote a (not tagged) dubcon smut and is being extremely rude to people (+ I think they’re also the ones who’re harassing tumblr users given they’ve been saying similar things or they’re a group idk, i dont really care about them, I just care about solangelo :p)
I criticised their work in ao3 for being unhealthy for the ship assuming that they thought what they wrote was healthy and then seeing them in the comments say that Nico needs to be a bottom because, and I’m quoting here, “being a bottom would make his story a lot sadder” which is a wILD take; I wasn’t able to say that they should have at LEAST tagged it as dubcon but I was blocked before I was able to reply again. For brevity sake, I won’t go into more details but the rundown is:
I comment “this is not it.”
They said it was intentional and insulted me
I said “lmao”
They replied “ I will write a more disgusting fic blahblah“
I got weirded out so I just ignored them
but nooow they just admitted to being a minor and this is where it began being really concerning:
To other minors who are reading this I’m not telling you what not to read or not do. Just please be safe. As a person who consumed a lot of.. questionable media/stuff when I was a kid to cope from the loss of my mother, I know how easy it is to step into a world where you’re clearly not ready for. Just try to step back a little, take your time and just be nice to yourself and to others
Anon author made some harmful takes on queer relationships (and honestly just relationships in general) let’s not have that mindset in 2025 pls and especially when tsats is all about Nico and Will trying to understand each other in order to have a healthy relationship. AND KIDS. If you have the same mindset as anon author pls pls pls we have elders in this community that
I should say that this is a top/bottom “discourse” of fictional characters LOL Need I say more on how stupid this is?
To the anon author, you might think being edgy is cool or whatever but when you grow up you’re gonna cringe so bad LMAO
at the end of the day, yeah we’re talking about fictional characters here, but with how the world is going on right now, I - for one- am only coping through reading about my silly blorbos but NOT arguing about who should top or bottom
Just don’t be rude in general, fandom spaces isn't open for rude butts
lowkey I’m finding this a bit entertaining because of how absurd everything is but considering that there are people being harassed I’m like yeah, not entertaining anymore huhu and they're great people too! I'm not gonna tag them because I don't know if they're comfortable getting into this conversation bec. I, for one, will be fed up by all this nonsense. Let's just all give them the love and support they oh so deserve!!! <3 <3
idk anymore, I just got off from work and my brain is fried I don’t think I’m even making sense lmao
so what did you guys had for lunch, I ate porridge! Yum!
#a few things#first#you can write whatever you want#but you need to TAG it properly#as someone with sexual trauma#I DESPISE when there’s untagged dubcon in a fic I’m reading#I’m not opposed to reading fics that are darker/go into darker themes#but I need a warning of some kind beforehand so that I know what I’m getting into#and can prepare mentally#secondly#top/bottom discourse is the stupidest thing that could ever happen in a fandom#I read smut fics sometimes that I disagree with#and so I click off#I recommend you do the same#Jesus seeing those accounts get hate made me see red#I love those writers#I might honestly write bottom!Will now just to spite them

If you say shit like this to a questioning trans girl, you're committing transmisogynistic violence. Like what the actual fuck is wrong with you?? You see a girl expressing fear and pain and your response is to tell her to shut up and deal with it??? You're not helping or warning anyone, you want this woman dead.

not to sound like a weak, morally impure centrist over here, but i think online leftist communities need to be a little more accepting of the concept that most people are just. not that well informed. we live in a society that provides access to an overwhelming amount of information and yet which discourages actually diving into much beyond the surface level. Most of the people you meet out in the world are just not gonna know much about a lot of what you care about, but that's not the same as being against those things, or being unwilling to learn, or being unnamenable to those ideas. Our modern society is an unending cascade of information and misinformation and disinformation and filtering through that shit enough to actually have a solid grasp of a subject, let alone a nuanced antiestablishment political take, is a skill that takes time and effort to develop, time and effort that is in very short supply. It really bothers me when I see leftists talk about how capitalism keeps us down by taking up all our time and energy and making recovery, both physical and emotional, cost what little we can afford, and then turn around and get upset that people are politically uninformed. On some level, you gotta meet some people where they are, and have a little faith in them to be open to new ideas and information. Ignorance is not inherently intentional, and it's not the same as antipathy.

Honestly part of the problem with this obsession with only consuming unproblematic fiction is that people are less likely to acknowledge when something is harmful. If you so much as say hey this one joke in this one episode was offensive fans will write you an essay on why it wasn’t. Because they’ve created a world view where this is basically accusing them of being a bad person who has committed an unforgivable sin.

the infuriating thing is that there is genuinely so much good queer literature out there, contemporary and not, but there is also a sizeable chunk of readers who think that a book only "counts" as good queer literature if it's a) unproblematic, b) contains romance as its central focus, and c) has the characters state their orientation and/or gender identity directly to the audience using socially acceptable 21st-century terms (as opposed to resorting to cowardly tactics such as Subtext and Themes)
