#and just. percy continually not trusting nico in canon rubbing off on the fandom imo

[stygicniron]

ooc;; sort of a hc and sort of a ramble but--

the amount of anger i see directed at n.ico for keeping pe.rcy's true identity a secret in son absolutely boggles me. people calling it gaslighting and just being ridiculous about it but i can't tell if i'm unhinged about this but?? to me it felt obvious why n.ico kept the secret--that would be messing with jun.o/h.era's plan and ni.co was not about to do that. especially when ni.co's presence among the romans already is a Huge no-no and represents an example to me of ha.des going behind z.eus's back to watch over his kids

idk it feels justified and it reminds me again that pe.rcy is an unreliable narrator
