#can u imagine how bad it would be for nico

[ascesabo]

the pjo/omori brainrot have unfortunately come for me at the same time so i'm going to make it everyone else's problem. sorry

soooo... assuming the di angelos were a well-off family (which i think is implied, but don't check me on that), it wouldn't be so far-fetched to believe that bianca would have had the opportunity to learn the piano. and nico, who adores his sister and wants to be closer to her, thinks they can bond if he learns an instrument too, right? but he can't impose on the piano. that's hers. so he takes up the next best thing, something he can play by her side- the violin.

in a hypothetical AU where bianca di angelo doesn't join the hunters, she and her little brother nico spend their time shut inside the big house's piano room, going over the same pieces again and again. to bianca, it's her last connection to her mother, to the life they'd had before the lawyers and the lotus hotel and camp half-blood. to nico, it's a way of desperately trying to bridge the distance he can feel growing between them. to both of them, it's everything.

but it isn't enough.

and so she practices harder and her temper gets shorter and one day she snaps at nico because his violin doesn't sound right, just what aren't you getting, nico? and nico is only ten and just wants to make his sister happy, because everything should be alright as long as they're together- but what was supposed to be a shared hobby has only driven them even farther from each other. you can probably imagine what happens next, right? he storms away from her, maybe to a secluded part of the forest, and relishes in the way his violin shatters against the big rocks when he swings. and bianca is so, so angry and she's coming closer. her face is red and she's shouting at him, and nico does the only thing he can think to do in his panic and frustration- he pushes her. he pushes her into the same rocks that hold the splintered pieces of his instrument and can only freeze in horror as the snap of her neck makes the same sound.

maybe in this universe, he'd also befriended a certain son of apollo a little earlier on. will solace isn't very popular with the other campers- they love pointing out how ironic it is that a son of apollo couldn't play an instrument to save his life and he knows, even if they try to hide it, that his older siblings are embarrassed by him too. but then this enigmatic new demigod shows up, with nothing but his mythomagic cards, his violin, and a big sister who takes will under her wing, and they offer to let him listen to them practice- and all of a sudden, he isn't so lonely anymore.

nico is will's first and closest friend. so when he follows the sound of their argument and sees nico push his sister in a fit of anger, all he can think is nico wouldn't do that to her.

kind, earnest nico, who loved his sister more than anything... couldn't have killed her. it had to be something behind him, and he can't let them punish nico for what SOMETHING else did. will has to help him. everything is going to be okay.

everything is going to be okay, he says when he shakes nico out of his grief-induced stupor.

everything is going to be okay, he tells himself when they steal a coil of rope from the stables.

everything is going to be okay, even as tears blur his vision and he swears that the lifeless body swaying in the wind is looking at them.

he takes nico's cold, shaking hand and lies to himself.

everything is going to be okay.

this city reeks of driving myself crazy

Jack Hughes misses his captain. Nico Hischier isn't acting like he misses Jack. Obviously, there are going to be problems.

masterlist

Nico is coming back from the mens’ world championships. Jack is trying not to act as if he has been waiting for this since the moment Nico left. 

The thought occurs to him halfway through physical therapy. Jack is in the middle of fifteen reps of some bullshit exercise involving resistance bands and a great deal of relief that no one can see him like this when he realizes that, soon, a plane will touch down and a man will get off, and that man will be Nico, and maybe everything will be okay again after all. 

Not everything, obviously. Nico coming back does not remove Jack’s shoulder surgery from this plane of existence, though, trusting his captain, it’ll probably make him feel a little better about it. Jack has already heard far too many whispers taking great delight in his absence— all it takes is one injury, and people are throwing words out there like career-ending and out for good. Nico would never say that. He would look at Jack thoughtfully, carefully, and tell him he expects to see Jack out on the ice again as soon as he can. Jack would do it, too. Anything if asked. He is a dog left at home too long, scratching at the door, waiting for the footsteps approaching down the hall to tell him he is not alone anymore. Someone will come for him, and then he will be alright. 

Jack will not tolerate the idea of a career-ending anything. The idea makes him sick to his stomach. He could never do anything but play. Being a spectator just might make Jack lose it once and for all. Imagining his team, his Devils, shooting back and forth across the ice, hearing the clash of the puck against their sticks, and then being separated from it all on the other side of the plastic dividers— it would drive him mad. Watching them win or lose and being unable to do a thing. Knowing he was no better than any of the other fans in the audience. He could wear a cheap copy of Nico’s jersey and jump up in his seat whenever the Devils scored and it would kill him more decisively than a gun to the head. 

So Jack does the stupid PT and he takes his pain meds and he goes to bed early, doesn’t drink, watches himself and his temper. And the door, mainly. Wondering if Nico will take him up on the offer he made a few days before the plane takes off:  Congrats man! U can come by my place to catch up if u want btw. 

He’d sent the text, bit back a scream, hurled his phone across the room to land on the sofa, immediately scurried over to check if Nico had responded (he had not), screamed for real this time, then taken more pills and stared at the ceiling for a while. All in a day’s work. 

And, when he checked back in the next morning, there was no return message. Nor the next day, either. It pisses Jack off to no end. Everyone’s always on their phones. There’s no way Nico hasn’t seen the text, so he simply isn’t responding because he doesn’t feel like it, which is just mean to such a good team player as Jack Hughes.

Stewing in his own self-righteous irritation, Jack intentionally ignores Nico’s text when it comes three days late. He glares at the notification bitterly, hoping that Nico can somehow sense it on the other end. Jack goes on Instagram in the hopes of distracting himself, but ends up seeing a post on how Nico’s plane has landed back in the States.

He’s back, then. Against his best intentions, Jack checks the text. Nico, 3 AM, Yeah, for sure. No date, no time for a meet-up. A pacifying answer that has absolutely no pacifying effect. Jack rages and rambles for two hours before he caves and texts back, was the flight good?

Twenty minutes later, the phone dings. Jack dives for it, immediately cursing his bad shoulder when it starts to twinge, and holds up the phone in trembling fingers only to register that Nico has replied with a thumbs up.

He’s going to slaughter the captain. He’s going to slaughter the captain and become the new captain and never do this to anyone ever again, ever. This is so stupid. Nico is capable of texting. Jack is capable of responding normally to a friendship disrupted by frequent flights and international games and only one of them having a fucked up shoulder. Right now, though, neither of them are acting like it.

He is proud of Nico, of course. Glad for him to have that opportunity and all that. But the ice seems extra cold when it’s quiet, and Jack hasn’t been able to feel his fingers in weeks, too many days below zero. He wants Nico back. Of course he does. He just hadn’t expected the wanting to take over him like this, wrapping brittle bones and surgery scars in a dense web of hurt that not even the painkillers can dull. 

Jack tries not to let the silence bother him, but, of course, it does. He goes to PT again. He calls his brothers one by one and hears them talk. He cleans up his apartment in case he gets a visitor, and maybe karma truly is real, because after several days of being a Good Person, Nico finally texts back and says, I can drop by Thurs evening if that’s cool?

Immediately, a jealous demon in his chest tells Jack that he should ignore Nico, just to get him back. Let Nico be the one waiting on the other line, wondering what he did to deserve the silence. Jack’s super good at being bitter if he wants it, and he feels mistreated enough to lash out.

Yeah. Sounds good.

He sends the text with his eyes closed, as if that makes it better. Like it isn’t Jack who caves but someone else, a doppelganger in Devils sweatpants slumped on the sofa in his apartment. Not his fault. Another thumbs up in response, which brings the anger back in force. Nico, of course, has the time to be casual in his responses. He’s the one who gets to swing by out of the blue. He can do anything he wants to, and Jack simply has to respect that.

When Thursday comes around, Jack finds himself mad enough to bite. It isn’t a good way to greet his captain. It isn’t a good way to meet with his friend. But Jack has been ignored for so long– calls unanswered, texts left on read– and he’s always devoured Nico’s attention far more greedily than anyone else. It’s not his fault that the crushing isolation left him sharp and smarting.

A knock on the door echoes around the problem, temporarily startling Jack out of the acidic monotony of his thoughts. He doesn’t need to check the door to know who it is. Only Nico would drop by like this, unannounced. Only Nico would assume Jack would be there to meet him with the bare minimum of text messages.

He could make Nico wait, and Jack certainly takes his time getting to the door, but then he’s hovering in front of the peephole and he can see a silhouette idling there for him, and it’s been so long since he saw Nico at all that Jack knows he doesn’t have it in him to keep Nico lingering any longer. Whatever happens, happens. But at least he’ll have a good face to look at in the meantime.

Jack’s hand jerks out, heavy on the knob, and then he swings the door open to reveal Nico standing there, hanging back from the threshold. His dark hair has crept out over his eyes, and it hides his face even more than the shadows of the poor high lighting. The contrast from the gasping fluorescents overhead paints dark hollows under his eyes, dramatic on his cheekbones. 

It reminds Jack of the Baroque portraits from the art museum the Devils had visited a while back. The PR agents wanted the players to seem more well-rounded or something. Bullshit. Jack had hated the trip, bored almost to tears with the slow pace of their guide, and he hates it now. Jack doesn’t want perfect art. He wants something real for the first time in months, and seeing his flawlessly posed captain makes him want to dirty that good bone structure with blood or his knuckles. Or both.

Nico raises his tragically beautiful eyes to Jack, waiting for something. Still brimming with bitterness, Jack says roughly, “Good to see you again,” and jerks his chin towards the inside of his apartment.

Nico takes the hint and slides past Jack, somehow able to go without touching him even though Jack had barely left him a few inches of room. Smooth on and off the ice. It’s so fucking unfair.

“Nice place,” Nico says, tugging off his coat and depositing it on a nearby kitchen chair.

“You’ve been here before,” Jack mutters.

Nico glances back towards him, arching a thick brow. “Does that mean I should say it looks like shit, then? It’s still nice even if this isn’t my first time seeing it.”

Jack laughs before he can choke it out. Although Nico hadn’t given any indication of being worried, his face relaxes microscopically. There’s no change Jack can name, nothing obvious like falling brows or slackening cheeks, but he knows the shift in feeling like it happened to himself.

“How’s the injury?” Nico asks, walking back to him.

“How do you think?” Jack spits, looking at the ground.

Nico tsks under his breath. “That bad, huh?”

“It’s fine,” Jack says out of impulse. “The guys at PT say I’ll be back on ice soon. Don’t worry.”

“I’m not just worried about what happens to you on the ice,” Nico says, voice low. “Off the ice matters too.”

Jack wants to laugh. He doesn’t, this time. Nothing’s funny. “You have some way of showing it.”

Nico does manage to look distinctly embarrassed this time. “I was busy,” he says simply.

It’s a bullshit excuse and Nico knows it too, so he covers for it by tugging impatiently at the thick material of Jack’s shirt. “Show me.”

“What?” Jack asks, tough demeanor seriously slipping for the first time all night.

“The shoulder,” Nico says, as if this is a normal thing to ask after being alone in Jack’s apartment with no one except Jack to ask what the fuck is going on. “Show me. I want to see how bad it looks.”

“It’s a shoulder,” Jack mumbles. “Imagine it.”

Nico fixes him with a look, one brow half cocked. Jack knows this look from practices, from games. It means, do you really want to fight me on this one? Jack usually does, but even this is too stupid a battle for him to pick, so he shuts up long enough to bat Nico’s hand off his shirt like a fleck of dust and do as told. He had meant to pull the top off in one smooth movement, but his shoulder disagrees midway through and the motion ends up being a little more awkward than he’d hoped.

Then he’s standing in front of Nico, shirt off, and under the overhead light of his kitchen, he feels far more on display than he likes. Jack has shown far more bruised and battered skin than this, of course, years’ worth of locker rooms have long since stripped him of any shame around teammates, but it’s different like this. Like this– with no other eyes than Nico’s, which swoop over him with such obvious care that hot embarrassment starts to churn deep in Jack’s stomach. He doesn’t like the feeling, but he doesn’t put the shirt back on, either. Or tell Nico to stop looking.

Nico’s hand darts out again, like he can’t stop himself. The fingers rise to Jack’s shoulder, ghosting over the skin. At first, Nico’s touch is gentle, and then he finds a slow-blossoming bruise and presses, not sharply enough to hurt but enough to make the dull ache bloom again in the precise shape of Nico’s thumb. Caught in the force of it, the air leaves Jack’s lungs in a low groan that seems to catch in his chest, deep in his throat.

He expects Nico to snatch his hand away and start making apologies like everyone else when they find out what a broken little thing he really is, but instead, Nico leans forward, into the sound. He doesn’t press any harder, but he looks like he wants to. And Jack– Jack might want that, too.

Nico’s tongue appears at the corner of his mouth, licking his lips before he continues. Jack watches with the hunger of a famine. “You should be careful,” Nico says huskily.

“Why?” Jack asks, fighting to keep his voice casual. “Going to bench me, cap?”

Nico’s hand spasms slightly, thumb curling further into the dark flower of the bruise before he stops himself. Jack can’t remember if he’s ever seen Nico react to the title like that, but Nico hasn’t had his hands on Jack like this before, either.

“I could do anything,” Nico whispers. Jack isn’t sure if they’re talking about hockey anymore. He isn’t sure that they ever were.

He snickers. “You can’t keep me off forever.”

Nico drags his gaze from the bruise to Jack’s eyes. “You always were the troublemaker, weren’t you? Not even Dawson’s as bad. Not even Luke. Always mouthing off.”

Something shifts indignantly in the pit of Jack’s stomach at the mention of his brother. He’d do anything to get Nico’s focus off Luke and back on him, where it belongs, so he says, “What’re you going to do? Shut me up?”

“Maybe,” Nico hesitates over the word, drawing out the syllables as he trails his hand away from the bruise and onto the thin, puckered line of a scar along Jack’s shoulder. He grazes his nails over the hardened skin, making Jack hiss, not from hurt but something else, something worse and better at the same time.

With Nico focused on the scar and not Jack anymore, he’s free to say something stupid again, no longer pinned under the weight of two dark eyes. So he grins, wide and bold and goddamn brainless, and says, “Make me.”

Nico’s eyes snap up to his again. There is an unwritten rule in hockey, practically a mandate, that the captain is the captain for a reason, and if anyone tries to fight that, it is the captain’s moral obligation to prove why he’s wearing the C and not anyone else. Even if the one causing trouble is an alternate. Even if it’s Jack.

Nico’s mouth is hot and assertive when it collides with Jack’s. Jack was ready for something but not for this, and he stumbles back from the force of the kiss. Nico’s arm whips behind him, catching Jack by the hip and bringing him back in, stopping him from a fall. Jack is reminded vividly of all the times they’re on the ice, one of them crashing into the other; the natural, instinctive urge to latch on and never let go. 

Nico’s eyes are closed and then Jack’s are, too. He lets the kiss swallow him whole, blocking out the shoulder and the games and everything else. Jack thinks he could stay there forever, hooked on Nico like his first drink, but then the older boy breaks away, even when Jack tries to chase his lips, needy as ever. Nico leans his forehead on Jack’s, both of them breathing hard like they’ve run a mile. 

“See? I like you quiet,” Nico says, breath gusting onto Jack’s face with every word.

“Shut up,” Jack says, and kisses him again, biting Nico’s lip petulantly to get him back.

Nico just chuckles, curling his free hand into the back of Jack’s head. Jack actually gasps when Nico tugs his hair, giving Nico more of his mouth, letting the kiss take him apart again and again. 

This time, Jack is the one to pull away first, and in the sliver of space between their lips Nico whispers, “I missed you.”

“You haven’t been acting like it,” Jack mutters, and squirms when Nico knots his fingers in Jack’s hair again.

“That’s what the attitude is about? I forgot to respond to a few texts and you get all stubborn?” Nico asks incredulously.

“It wasn’t just a few texts,” Jack pouts, “You keep ditching me. Thought you didn’t want to talk to me at all.”

Nico pulls away for real this time, leans back far enough that Jack can see his entire face instead of snatches of lips and eyes and red cheeks. The look on his face, it isn’t angry or annoyed– it’s fond. Satisfied. “I always want to talk to you, Jack. Don’t you know that?”

“I didn’t when you were ignoring me,” Jack murmurs.

The hand in his hair relaxes, combing gently through the locks instead of twisting them. “Alright,” Nico says, still painfully enamored, “That’s my mistake, then. Let me apologize.”

Jack lets him. Happily. The offseason is long. If he tries, he can drag this out for a long time, make Nico make it up to him for months. Jack isn’t ashamed to admit that he’ll do it as long as he can. Better yet, Nico will let him, and know what he’s up to the whole time anyway.

That’s the best part about them, Jack supposes. They know each other. On and off the ice. On and off each other. Maybe it’ll be a long summer, but God, it’s going to be a good one.

Hi cody which of the big names (or lesser known guys that are your blorbos) do u think will play for their team for their entire career and who do u think will leave? Tampa bay is on my hit list for dropping stamkos like that

ohoho this one is FUN... everyone is my blorbo im gonna go through every team and See...

the biggest difficulty in making this list is that like inevitably b/c of the Inevitable Passage Of Time the babies grow up and sometimes they grow up into like. diff ppl... like i imagine rn the sharks and hawks respectively want mack and bedsy to be with them for life... but is that Happening? it's too early to say ... bedsy seems like he might though. he's goodcanadianboy enough.

boston bruins: marchand and pasta are 100% lifers... mcavoy seems like they want him to be a lifer but he hasn't made up his mind yet.

buffalo sabres: if they make the playoffs within the next five years (BIG IF) then i can see one of power or dahlin sticking it out. but at this point i'm pretty sure the only thing that can save the sabres is a serious exorcism and i mean a SERIOUS one so i doubt this'll happen in truth

detroit red wings: larkin. duh.

florida panthers: barkov

montreal canadiens: n/a. see buffalo sabres but replace "power" with "caufield" and "dahlin" with "slafkovsky" . i mean i guess you can put arber on that list but mostly because his career isn't gonna be that long probably

ottawa senators: the one and only THOMAS CHABOT

tampa bay lightning: i WOULD have said stamkos until this offseason... fucking crasy... ok anyway here's my juice: vasy's back injury/surgery have meant he is no longer the goalie he was and i doubt he'll command much after this contract is over. i say 50-50 he leaves vs stays as a reasonable backup/tandem guy. kucherov Wants 2 Win and has a much lower tolerance for Bullshit than stamkos, which means if a competitive price is not being paid for him he will Just Leave. victor hedman is going to be a lifer though

toronto maple leafs: morgan rielly is the only one i know in my heart is a lifer, but only because a) jt was already an islander and b) willy and auston will probably play most of their reasonable careers as leafs and then have like 1-3 seasons somewhere else as ancient old men to Cup Chase One Last Time. don't ask about the other guy you know how i feel about jinxes

carolina hurricanes: n/a

columbus blue jackets: n/a

new jersey devils: n/a... they will try to keep at least 1 hughes but i think we have seen so little of the current devils era (hischier/hughes) that it's hard to say anything about their future atm. can you believe nico was only drafted the year after auston like they haven't gotten off the ground at ALL.

new york islanders: [squints in trying to name islanders]... actually a bunch of lifers looking at it. sorokin. anders lee. barzal if you're nasty. brock nelson. etc

new york rangers: chris kreider FER SURE, igor shesterkin FER MAYBE

philadelphia flyers: see devils re: brink of something new. they're going to try and keep tk forever though

pittsburgh penguins: do i REALLY have to say anything here

washington capitals: Do I Really Have To Say Anything Here

chicago blackhawks: was about to make another bad seth jones contract joke here before remembering he's already played on a different team. no further comment

colorado avalanche: natemac has made it pretty damn clear he wants to stay an av forever, because sidcros stayed a penguin forever. do what you will with that information

dallas stars: jamie benn definitely, but everyone else is too young to say something about or has been on other teams already. good luck with your jrob21 contract negotiations stars front office You Will Need It

minnesota wild: ...jared spurgeon...?

nashville predators: did you guys know puckpedia has the preds abbreviated as NAS and they're ahead of the devils. crazy. anyway roman josi and juuse saros are gonna be preds for life, and probably filip forsberg too

st louis blues: vlad tarasenko IN MY HEART...

winnipeg jets: hellebuyck and schiefele fer sure

anaheim ducks: because they've been trying to trade him for a decade and have been unsuccessful yet: john gibson

calgary flames: n/a

edmonton oilers: nuge + mcdrai also

la kings: doughty + kopi

seattle kraken: n/a

san jose sharks: logan couture

vancouver canucks: my hot take is nobody because quinn hughes is going to pull a mark giordano or jason spezza or perhaps even a chris tanev and play the last couple years of his career as a leaf. petey is gonna slut it up somewhere else later, brock is straight up going to leave as a ufa OR sign a short bridge and then leave as a ufa, and jt miller was a ranger

vegas golden knights: n/a

"to be perfect, you have to feel perfect about yourself--avoid trying to be something your not." - rick riordan

i believe that the majority of people on that ship are not straight

let start here with the lost trio

leo is bisexual, and on the aroace spectrum (i would say abroromantic/sexual? look em up!)

also i think he could be trans (ftm) or just genderqueer

jasons definitely demiromantic/sexual, even tho he and piper ended up quickly together, it was forced feelings and they had bonded closely. also i hc him as bi

for me, pipers a non-binary/demigirl queer person! she uses she/they, and i'd say is also probably on the aroace spectrum. VERY COMPHET

ok now for percy and annie

percy's bi. aint no way he isn't. the way he describes specific guys like bro

like i imagine the luke thing to sorta be like nico to percy, yk?

and annabeth.

i think she's very comphet too (look it up :D) and so she thinks shes straight and struggles with it, since percy's the only person she'd be with and he's a guy, making her 'straight'.

but i personally think she's pan, and attracted to percy bc of his personality vs his gender. plus, i think there r some other people at camp she's probably "liked", like not cheating, but thought 'oh, i would date them' yk?

lowkey, frank and hazel are token straight, but both are demiromantic and i think they just don't talk abt sexuality in their relationship BC THEY ARE CHILDREN? like they talk abt attraction, just not... yk.

i imagine frank getting very flustered abt it, and hazel gets awkward but more open to talk abt it

nico, obviously i know he's gay. i love that we had beautiful rep in the books, they could never make me hate u nico

also i wouldn't be apposed to trans/nb nico (same w/ will)

and for reyna, i hc her as an ace lesbian, with a lot of comphet. like, she thought she liked guys, especially guys who she was supposed to like (percy, jason, people in equal positions of power and such) but realized 'nah' and yeah.

also def hc as genderqueer/non-binary and also uses they/them

also i totally head canon that percy and annabeth were everyones gay awakenings, like percy for jason, leo, and nico, while annabeth for piper (maybe reyna)

relationships!

so in my "au", we got valgrace (jason and leo) pipeyna (piper and reyna) frazel (frank and hazel) and ofc, percabeth (percy and annabeth). i am fine with other ships, i just dislike specific ones that are uncomfortable for me, but idrc. also, pls dont hate on me

some random headcanons is that (i like to talk abt this a lot in my stories) but jason bought leo a fidget spinner as a gift, and leo has kept it since. he occasionally has to repair it, but it's his favorite thing ever

piper has short hair. i think she'd rock it, and i feel like it's more her style, but idk. either that, or braids 24/7

also, i wanna (project) say that frank's body doesn't change from ares/mars' gift, and he has body dysmorphia. like first of all, they talk abt how he never feels right in his body, as a shape shifter. and i feel like his bodily description implies that.

idk if this is just me projecting and shit, but i feel like that could cause an eating disorder for him? like, he just worries abt his weight and shit, and hazels all like "istg, frank, eat or else" and such. like ik we see him eating normally in the books, but i feel like that could make it more realistic. also, (hc) one time he passed out during battle and jason was like "frank tf, you need to talk to me man" and thats how he started talking abt it

jason and leo are alive! i will not ignore the importance of jasons death, but i also forever will wish it didn't happen, and i can do that in my au

bc of this, i'd say jason has a scar in his torso from being stabbed (twice, yikes) and (i talk abt this in a drabble, so go check that out) he has a bad lightning scar from his shoulder down his body.

and leo has a scar along the most of his body (chest, torso, shoulders, neck, hips) from his explosion.

also, i hc that he has a hearing aid. i read this in another fanfic, but i thought it'd be a really good idea. he has one, but only bc he is mildy deaf in one ear. his other ear is eh, but better

hazel refuses to wear jewelry with jewels on them. like, gold is ok ish (reminds her of arion) but gems freak her out still

percy and annabeth both have their stripes in their hair, and dye it blue!

also, since ik hoo is a middle grade book, but i think all the characters curse, especially in their native language/other languages. like in spanish, latin, greek, french, morse code, itaian, sign language, etc. sure, english too, but wheres the fun in that? and i imagine that frank is the only one who doesn't and just "oh golly!" all the time

also, seperate thing, but i do wanna talk abt the races + ethnicities i imagine the characters. i would appreciate no hate, and if u have thoughts on it, feel free to say such.

percy is either token white, or wasian (korean rep. actually, i might imagine him wasian, so look for that in the future)

annabeth, i think of her usually as blonde white, but i also imagine her as black w/ blonde braids, so either one works. lowkey, i wont specify unless its relevant, so idrc. (i dont have any specific country, so reccomend one!)

leo is mexican, ofc, and i will keep him that way

pipers cherokee, and i would say, for all characters, they are FULLY that ethnicity. if they are half/half, i would say its bc the god chose to be a different race. we know gods can change apperance, and while it doesn't change ethnicity, we know that not all the demigods are greek, so annabeth, leo, and piper are full, not half

so, ik jasons probably gonna be cast similarly to thalia, but i imagine him as this all american white boy. ik this will bring up controversy, but thats just my opinions, but i dont mind jason being other races. also, i imagine he could also be wasian, i saw a drawing and i was like: omg

frank is chinese and canadian! aint no way we gonna forget abt that boy.

hazel is also african-american :D same as book hazel

also, if the demigods took a dna test, would part of it come back like, unanswered? bc gods dont rlly have dna, but what would be in that spot? greek? i need answers

im just gonna say, most characters stay book ver. unless specified differently, like annie or jase or percy

omg now im just so happy, imaging percy speaking korean oml oml oml

and growing up w/ racism? "hey, can you sing k-pop?"

"eating cats?" "i'm korean man" etc

annabeth and percy bonding over racist experiences is peak man

so yea, thx for listening to my rant and yap. love u all :D

[yonemurishiroku]

On with supreme omniscient schemer Nyx again.

It’s been the third time I see a post of “Why bad things keep happening to Nico” and I just think. What if it was intentional?

What if Nico’s existence, and his story as a whole, has been a craft to begin with?

I have mentioned Nyx choosing Luke for the Great Prophecy once. I can damn well make it that Nyx was the one to manipulate Nico’s life since the start. She’s the darkness. She’s the Night. She’s everywhere he sets foot in, even his father’s domain. Luke is the Fates’ pawn, but Nico could be Nyx’s little project, plaything, doll in a dollhouse, whatever-

Why Nico? Because he’s a child of Hades. And Hades is the Underworld the same way Nyx governs Tartarus. They are closest to her. “Children of Hades rarely get happiness” what if it’s bc they always fall into the hands of Nyx?

- Imagine. Let’s say Hades and Maria have Bianca - and Nyx caught wind of it and thought “Hey I’d like one of those” (bc - u know, Hades), so when the moment Nico was conceived, she seized him in her invisible hands. She watched him. She whispered in Zeus’ ears, telling him to strike Maria down bc only Nyx herself gets to be Nico’s mother. She watched him for 70 years. Bianca shouldn’t pick up that figure, but Nyx just needed a catalyst, you know?. And Nico’s life just devolved from there, just as Nyx planned.

Nyx protected Nico when he ran away bc she couldn’t have the youngling die that soon. She sent Minos to him bc Maria taught Nico kindness and Nyx wanted to see if she could taint it. And when she realized it was difficult, she was tempted to see how far he could go. She showed him Kronos and Luke - purely bc she thought “He needs challenge to grow”.

It’s like an entertainment show to her. Nyx does whatever interests her.

- On to HOO. Nyx whispers to him “Camp Half-blood hates you” bc he’s settling down and it’s no fun! The Prophecy of the Seven arrived and Nyx threw a fit bc her Nico wasn’t in it, so she basically went “Screw this! I want to see my pet!!” So she forced all the Doors of Death open, kidnapped Thanatos, forcing Nico to come to Tartarus on his own so they can reunite.

The Fates would not have all the fun.

But then Gaea’s minions butted in and Nyx very crankily let Nico go - only bc they promised something fun.

She helped him thru the Jar. Because Nico was no fun if he died. He must not die. Nyx told Nemesis to give him the pomegranate seeds to make sure of it.

She sent them Bryce. Nyx just wanted to see how her project had grown, you know? And she was pleasingly delighted to see Nico burst with Underworld powers. Nyx then proceeded to keep him surrounded in her powers for the next three days, marveling over how close he had come to something inhuman - to her. Which was why Nico was incorporeal for those days.

Gaea then fell. The war passed and Nico was going to settle down again!? No no. Nyx was cranky again. She hadn’t had her fun yet, so of course she started torturing Nico again

- and like that, since the very start, Nico has been in Nyx’s hands.

It’d have sounded ten times more terrifying.

I’m totally not projecting

[thesungod]

Do you have any Hera meta you would like to expand on , maybe in relation to what a relationship with Apollo would look like

anon… do u share my brand of insanity or are u just indulging me.

as far as Hera meta goes, my main point is that she’s not a villain in the true sense of the word: i think she’s tolerant of humans and the consideration she generally has for demigods is the consideration she’d have for ants. and honestly, she’s truly one of the few gods who’s entitled to feel that way, considering that she’s not responsible for siring them and would rather the others didn’t. obviously she has exceptions (demigods/humans she really likes and demigods/humans she really hates) and she’s wrong for taking revenge on Zeus’ mistresses but overall she’s just not that bad. ya feel me?

she’s also shown to feel genuine love for Jason which brings the count of people who have actually felt genuine love for Jason in canon up to three lmao (Piper-Leo-Hera). Nico exists in a grey area and you got to have some respect for that.

so anyways, she was actually pretty smart to swap Percy and Jason and she managed to keep it under the rug for longer than what would be expected. obviously it was wrong of her to use them as puppets for her strings but she’s not nearly alone in that. Apollo confirms in ToA that it is simply the way gods treat demigods. In my view, she sucks but she doesn’t Especially Sucks.

i also have endless sympathy for Hera having to tolerate her husband’s infidelity and (so clearly implied they might as well say it) abuse. she’s just. an unhappy woman, dare i say the unhappiest olympian god, and i think she has been so for so long that she has forgotten what anything else feels like. does she have friends? she certainly doesn’t have lovers, and while that may have initially been a commitment of love, it must have gotten pretty lonely over the years. she’s portrayed as icy and dignified and distant, the godliest of the gods, the one who most clearly represents the divide between mortals and immortals, and i ask myself how much of that is her real personality, and how much is the result of bitterness and isolation.

imagine: Hera regretting the fact that she’s made so many enemies once, when she felt untouchable and at her peak, because she’s just alone now, but what’s done is done so what can she do?

Hera never quite fitting in with other deities and really, who can blame them.

Hera having spent such a long time not even considering the idea of romantic love for herself and being so stunted that when she starts falling for Apollo, she doesn’t even notice. she simply cannot believe it. doesn’t even dare to think it.

she feels that feeling. the one where you a crush on someone after a really long time and you are all giddy and excited, not because you think it may be reciprocated, but because it’s new and thrilling to desire someone. she’s a high school girl wanting to be asked to prom.

now, let’s suppose it all happens because her and Apollo start sleeping together to spite Zeus as per my headcanon, and she inexplicably begins to want him for more than just revenge: she would would be so angry because she cares more, she’s far more into it, she’s utterly taken by him. at the end of the day, what they do is nothing particularly new for him (except for the “if he catches us i’m dead” part ig lmao) but it’s all brand new never heard before for her!! and her pride would be hurt!! but what are you gonna do about it!!

and now let’s suppose that at one point he starts caring back, and he treats her well and she hasn’t been treated well in centuries. so she gets carefree, and she gets reckless and she catches herself fixing her hair before the Olympian Council so that he sees her at her best!! imagine how humiliating that is for her!! she’s the Queen of Olympus she’s the Queen of the gods she’s the Ruler of the world and he’s literally just a guy!! she should hit him with her car!!

instead, she finds herself in his car, having been convinced to take a ride with the sun chariot for the first time ever while he’s babbling about… she doesn’t even know, talking horses trying to kill him? because that’s something that happened? apparently? and he has his stupid shades on and she feels like a high school girl actually getting asked to prom.

and for the unhappiest goddess of the Council, that’s a really magnificent feeling.

[sameasitwas]

Nobody asked for it, but 5 songs that are so inexplicably bakudeku that I don't ever see how anyone can listen to them and not have a full blown animation about them

1. There You Are by Zayn

This song just gives huge Deku vigilante arc, like I just imagine the page of Katsuki appearing in all his glory when the song does the " THERE YOU ARE THERE YOU ARE" so good

2. It's U by Cavetown

This is such a sad slow song I can imagine a tender between the two, and Izuku is singing or thinking about Katsuki to

3. Hate to be Lame by Lizzy McAlphine (ft. FINNEAS)

The original of this song is great too, but I like to imagine that this song is about both Katsuki and Izuku realizing their feelings for the other and thinking the other would "think it was lame" idk

4. Our Way Out by Nico Collins

This song is so completely them that when I first heard it it was before 368, and even then I couldn't think of anything else, of course after that chapter, the beginning about "the heart" made it so much more perfect. Plus this song has a huge emphasis on fighting together and holding hands, what else am I supposed to think???

5. Violet by Bad Suns

This song is so fun, it's feels like a outing that bkdk go on together and Izuku is just falling more and more in love with Katsuki during it

Thanks for reading my rambles, I have a 7+ hour playlist of songs that just remind me of these two dorks, so if anyone is interested I might do more even if no one is interested in getting more song recs I guess 😁

[doevademe]

heart successfully healed 💖 I can only imagine poor Nico's turmoil then relief at Percy remembering him 😊 also when u said Percy remembering doing something when Nico bited his lip, do you mean Percy used to bite Nico's lip??????? 🙈 can you drabble their reunion after Percy gets his memories back? Please?

[First part]

Percy helped Nico up as he took him on board the Argo II. The boy was barely conscious, but insisted on giving them the information they needed to close the Doors of Death.

Percy couldn't help but admire his boyfriend's dedication.

"You need rest," Hazel admonished. She got closer to them to take Nico. "Come on, you can use my bed."

"No," Percy said tersely. Hazel raised an eyebrow. "I'll take him. He does owe me a talk."

"Percy, you can't expect him to—!"

"It's fine, Hazel," Nico said. "I want to go with him."

Hazel looked troubled, but nodded. Percy lifted Nico up bridal style (he was so much lighter than he remembered) making him shout in protest.

"Suck it up, you actually love it," he whispered in his ear. If he was healthier, he would have blushed much more vividly.

Percy felt a hole in his chest.

"Does Hazel... do they know?" Nico asked quietly once they were a safe distance away.

"I've got all my memories back," he said instead of answering. "Do you really think I would out you?"

Back before he disappeared, only their closest friends knew they were dating (and maybe the gods, but they were irrelevant). Nico was just not ready to tell the world, and Percy respected that.

"Sorry," Nico apologized. "Hazel is from the past too and I... I don't know how she would take it."

"She's your sister, she loves you," Percy said gently. "You might be surprised."

She hadn't freaked out when Percy had mentioned kissing a boy in passing.

"Still I... why did we stop?" Nico asked, looking at their surroundings.

"Oh, that. Yeah, my cabin door is this one, and my arms..." he gestured at Nico, still being carried, and then at the closed door. Nico rolled his eyes and opened it for him. "Thanks. Hey—"

"If you make any reference to marriage or me being a bride I'll throw you over board," Nico said, making Percy chuckle. He had gotten quite good at anticipating his jokes. Nico got oddly quiet after he laid him down on the bed.

"Nico?"

"What did you want to talk about?" Nico said softly. "Are you mad at me?"

"Why would I be mad?" Percy asked, eyes wide. "I mean, I'm pretty miffed at you going off and almost dying on me, but mad? That's a bit much."

"Back in New Rome," he explained. "I evaded your questions, I didn't tell you about us. Hades, I didn't even tell you about your mom!"

"Could you?" Percy asked as he caressed his face. "What would have happened if you did? I doubt Juno would have let that pass. She already doesn't like you much."

Nico played with his skull ring.

"I still should have tried, at least," he mumbled. "I'm a terrible boyfriend."

"Nico—"

"I am! I'm terrified of people knowing about us, our first date was at a fast food place. I can't even hold your hand in public if someone is looking!" Nico fell on the bed, exhausted. Percy rushed to his side. It looked like he could shatter like glass at any moment. "This is just the cherry on top of the bad boyfriend sunday."

"Nico, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me," Percy said, carding his fingers through his boyfriend's hair. "So you got traumas and issues, welcome to the club! A relationship is all about taking the bad with the good. And believe me, there's a lot of good that comes with dating you."

"But that doesn't mean I shouldn't work on the bad," he insisted.

"Working and wallowing in it isn't the same thing," Percy said. "Baby steps, okay? Annabeth and Grover know, my mom knows. The important people know, that's enough."

"Not all the important people," he mumbled. He was getting sleepy. "The ship crew... they are becoming important to you, right?"

Percy nodded.

"You can only get into so much danger with the same people and not grow a little close," he joked. Nico smiled. "Want to tell them?"

"Hazel first," he said. "Then the others. Not now but... when I'm stronger."

Percy felt a feeling of pride surging in his chest. He leaned down and kissed Nico.

"If you really want to," he said.

A crumbling sound was heard below the ship. Percy and Nico both stood, swords at the ready.

"A hole just opened up in the middle of Rome!" Coach Hedge's voice sounded from the hallway. "A battle is about to start!"

"Annabeth!" Percy gasped. At Nico's confused look, he explained, "she went after the Mark of Athena, alone!"

Nico nodded. He still looked exhausted, but there was that fire in his eyes that Percy loved.

"Let's go help her, then."

[rosyredlipstick]

hey. Hey um. hey have any conchell scenes that didnt happen to make it in fics.. that r dusty in ur docs.. u wanna share them so bad 😁😁 U wanna share them so bad 😁😁😁😁😁

hahahaha okay anon here's a cut scene from the ghosthunters fic, the forbidden chap 4 where instead of going their own ways after the motel connor and Mitchell,,,,, ummmm,,,

-

Open scene to motel room post-night of terror. mid-day, nico and will are having a conversation in will's room when Mitchell comes in:

Mitchell walked past Nico and went straight to the bed, falling face down into the sheets. He let out a deep exhale. 

Will turned on his side, his arm tucked under his head, Nico, amused, perched on the edge of the mattress. Will nudged Mitchell with one finger, poking his shoulder. 

Eventually, Mitchell had to come up for air. He flipped himself over, staring at the ceiling. 

“Everything alright?” Will asked quietly, his voice coated with a certain sympathetic tone. He left it unsaid, any mention of the past 48 hours.

Mitchell took in another breath, closing his eyes. Nico and Will shared a quick look. 

“I can go -” Nico went to stand. 

Mitchell just started at Will for a long moment, completely blank. When his expression finally cracked, it was like a damn flooding. 

“I slept with Connor,” Mitchell rushed out, his hand immediately coming to slap over his face. 

A long, long stretch of silence met him. Through his fingers, Mitchell’s face was bright red. 

Will slowly sat up, staring at Mitchell. His mouth had fallen open. “Explain.” 

Mitchell let out a small, hysterical laugh. One hand came up to grip at his hair. “I don’t know! I was - freaking out and we went back to my room and I couldn’t think, I just kept freaking out and he was there trying to talk to me and -” Mitchell paused, his gaze not leaving the patchy eggshell paint covering the ceiling. “And he was staring at me, asking what I needed, and -” Mitchell buried his face in his hands. “I just said I wanted to feel like I was in my body again.”

Will ran a hand over his face, tired. “I guess I’ve been expecting this. I’m guessing a short engagement?” 

“We’re not dating,” Mitchell said quickly. “It’s not like that - I was just there and - and he was there -”

“Yes,” Will muttered. “That’s typically how it goes.” 

Mitchell stole one of the pillows just to push it against his face. “What am I going to do?” 

“Wait,” Will said sharply. “Is he still in your room?” 

Mitchell didn’t look up from his pillow. “Maybe,” He said, his voice muffled. 

Will clicked his tongue. Mitchell finally looked up, his hair messy now. “First of all, I can’t believe you’re doing this right after you gave Nico so much shit for doing it to me the first time around.” 

Nico blinked at him, “He did?” 

“Yeah, you were on real thin ice there for a bit,” Will told him, amused. “But seriously, Mitchell? Really?” 

“I’m - taking a breather!” Mitchell corrected. “I need to collect my thoughts. I guarantee you he’s with Katie right now, doing this same exact thing.” 

There wasn’t a world in which either of them would take that bet. 

Mitchell continued, still freaking out just a bit. “I don’t think either of us thought this through. We’re friends and this kind of stuff always makes things so messy.” Mitchell forced out a small broken laugh. “I was possessed less than a day ago! I did horrible shit and I keep getting flashes of it and I can’t think straight!"

[conversation ??? this is an incomplete cut scene <3 imagine will+mitchell banter <3]

There was a knock at the door. Mitchell froze in place on the bed, his arm mid-swinging a pillow at Will's face. They shared a wide-eyed look.

Nico, by silent election, was the one to stand and get the door. He cracked it open: a mess of wild curls, a waiting grin.

"Hi, just need a moment -" Travis edged around Nico in the doorway without prompt and came straight into the room like he had a purpose and knew it well. "Hey, Mitchell. Fancy running into you here."

Mitchell scrambled to his elbows, half-sitting up. His face had gone slightly pale. "Travis -"

Travis didn't hesitate in rounding the bed, bending at the knees, and throwing Mitchell over his shoulder in a smooth, fluid movement.

Mitchell immediately protested, kicking out his feet and pushing against his shoulder. This in no way seemed to affect Travis' hold, who straightened up, adjusted Mitchell's weight, and was good to go.

Travis brought one arm up to hold Mitchell's waist in place, using the other to salute to Will and Nico with a wink. "Catch ya on the flip side."

"Put me down this instant -"

"You have someone to talk to right now," Travis said to him lightly, turning on his heel. "Come on, Mitchell."

Travis carried Mitchell out, Mitchell cursing the whole way.

"Should we -"

Will shrugged with one shoulder, rubbing at one of his eyes with his palm. "Probably. Yes." He sighed, great. "This was always going to happen. We might as well."

They followed, mostly just by the sound of Mitchell's struggling complaints and Travis' casual monologue.

"You see, my little brother--my only brother, you may know, a rare commodity if you will--just told me this real fun fact about 3 minutes ago."

Travis turned into the door at the end--one of the Ghostfacers' rooms. Nico didn't go in, just stayed at the doorway, but Will stepped in after Travis, helping him right Mitchell to his feet. Katie and Connor were already in the room, sitting on the edge of one of the beds.

Jesus Christ. Connor hadn't even put on a shirt yet.

Mitchell steadied himself, glaring up at Travis with an annoyance that only ever seemed to appear around his siblings--or, antics that would trip-fall out of the Ghostfacers' palms. Will checked at his bandages, quick. Nothing seemed to be out of place; Travis had been careful with him.

Travis crossed his arms, staring down at Mitchell expectant and sure. "Can you guess the fun fact, Mitchell?"

Connor was red-faced and mortified on the bed, a wrinkled napkin of despair. "You - Travis -"

"This isn't a group discussion." Mitchell bit out.

"Yes. You're absolutely correct." Travis held out his palm to the side. Katie wordlessly stood from the bed, her hand falling from Connor's shoulder, and took Travis' hand. "But it is a discussion."

They were in retreat a moment later. Will followed and caught the door on his way out, a grimace on his face.

anyway <33333 hope this was something for ya anon <3333 i did ultimately decide to focus on the whole trauma of it all but !!! enjoy the AU where conchell happens several months earlier and ehhh it's a bit messy at the beginning and mitchell is Still Going Through It and connor quits the show and moves out to LA without prompt and mitchell is EXTREMELY guilt-ridden and anxious and its ????? for a while and its very,,,, but then,,,,, the final season of unsolved starts and they're somehow back at the same damn haunted houses they were running around together at seventeen and they're sneezing on dust and laughing against the wall at the stupid lines coming out of the spirit box and leaning onto each other's shoulders on the car ride back to the hotel late at night and--something slots back into place, slowly. mitchell gets his healing arc and connor facetimes with Katie every night and they dont visit area 51 that summer but they do a few years later and yes connor still buys the alien mugs

*play chinese satellite by phoebe bridgers*

[gayleafpool]

About your Bianca AND Nico live au: love thinking of the possibility that Bianca joins Luke’s side and like, how Nico would react. Considering how much he loved/loves Bianca he’d probably have an insane struggle deciding if he should follow her or if he didn’t their confrontation during the battle. It would be heart wrenching surely.

Also! There could be such interesting dynamics when you take into account hades. Like it Bianca is still the favored sibling that would possibly cause conflict between her and Luke since she has her godly parent acknowledging her when no one else on that side does. Her arguing for that camp halfblood doesn’t care for her or her parent to maintain she deserves to be on Luke’s side. If you wanted to push it further Hades could even be convinced to help Luke/Kronos since he has no place in Olympus PLUS it’s his favorite kid. And the Nico having to go agains his sister AND his father???

Or you could play with hades abandoning Bianca when he sees she’s going against his plan to have his own kid fulfill the prophecy, turn all his attention to Nico and then Bianca has all that emotional turmoil of being the least favorite (could be especially interesting if she was aware she’d originally be the favored and lost that position)

This au is amazing. I’m obsessed. I might come back to send more asks maybe off anon because I can’t get enough of this

EXACTLY EXACTLY!! so much could happen, and it’s all so tragic. no matter how u spin it, its gonna be bad. these thoughts are all so good, ur brain is huge. another thought i had abt this is what if at first, both bianca and nico are manipulated into joining luke as spies (like, they stay in camp but are working for luke) i think this would be interesting bc it could be proposed to them as “hey u know how all these kids dont really like or trust you? how they havent really made u guys feel welcome? well what if you joined us, where nobody is gonna make u feel like an outcast, and on top of that u can get revenge on these guys by pretending to be on their side while stealing their secrets”. imagine that this really appeals to them both, bc theyre young kids and they’re lonely and a little petty, and they do it. but at first they dont quite realize the gravity of the situation or how dangerous it is and how they’re going to be expected to kill other kids. so then one of them backs out when this becomes clear, and the other takes this as a personal attack. how dare you abandon me for a people who don’t even care about you. SOO many approaches that could be taken here, all of them are terrible in the best way

[ariihen]

I don’t know if this is your thing or not, but could I get some brotherly Nico/Stolls headcanons, your post about them finishing the Hades cabin for him has me hooked

i got u anon, i will take every opportunity to give nico more siblings.

the stoll brothers did their best to cheer nico up the day that bianca left with the huntresses, but when assuring words like “don’t worry man, bianca will come back!” and “the huntresses visit all the time!” didn’t work, they resorted through other means. 

mainly, by letting him exert that anger. by this point i imagine the hermes cabin was still dealing with the huge blow of luke betraying camp and subsequently some campers with him. it’s not quite the same thing, but they can relate to nico. an older sibling they loved and trusted chose to leave them. they’re grieving and angry, too.

they bring him to the zeus’ fist and encourage him to scream and let it out. they egg him into swearing when they find out that bianca was fairly strict and wouldn’t let him watch things beyond pg-13.

“come on, nico, you know you want to” 

“yeah man, just one bad word. we won’t tell.” 

“rebellion, nico.”

they were pretty sad to learn that nico ran away after finding out that bianca died. i think that moment was a little jarring for travis and connor because, just like the di angelos, they’re full-blooded siblings too. they don’t know what they would’ve done if the other one died. i imagine they spent a long time trying to look for nico but reluctantly were forced to give up after a month, because that’s too long a time for a demigod to survive on their own. let alone a 10 year old who was only just learning how to. 

they’re pleasantly surprised when percy resurfaces from the labrynth with nico and welcomed him warmly. they joke about his sudden wardrobe change, but you can bet their big brother instincts reared up seeing just how much this happy little kid had changed.

they tried inviting him to sit with them and eat after the battle but nico didn’t really stick around long enough since he wanted to keep following leads about his past, but this becomes a recurring habit every time they see nico visit camp.

they’re constantly trying to encourage him to join them in camp activities, like they’re still his counsellors. they notice easily how uneasy the other campers are around nico and can see the affect it has on the kid, so it also becomes a habit to deflect that attention onto themselves so that nico doesn’t have to deal with the brunt of their focus.

more below the line because i got very carried away

and the thing is, nico notices. not at first, because he thought mischief was just in their blood like that, you know? but then he starts seeing the pattern. how the stoll brothers would act up and let him fade in the shadows so he doesn’t have to deal with people’s scrutiny.

he notices their offers to spend time with them, naturally, but given how the hermes cabin was already getting mistrusting looks from the other campers due to the situation with luke, the last thing he wanted to do was aggravate it more with his presence. so he politely and regretfully declines and goes.

after the first war, they spot nico eating alone on the hades table and pretty much invite themselves over to eat with him, cheerfully ignoring chiron’s disapproving looks in favour of asking nico to help them with their pranks.

he can summon the undead, travel through shadows, and is a proficient fighter? you can bet they want him at their side.

nico’s very surprised by how unaffected they are by his powers. most people tended to get unnerved by it and treat him accordingly, but the stolls remember the cheerful little boy who won all their valuables from them during poker and no amount of dead things was gonna change that.

plus, shadow-travel is a convenient getaway. they’re more than prepared to catch him and feed him after.

of course they do notice the colder reception the other campers start giving nico again after a while and see how badly the kid is taking it. they tried their best to help him and let him know that they were there, but were ultimately disappointed when they find out he left again.

disappointed, but not entirely surprised. because there was still a lot to fix after luke and honestly some of the kids in chb can be pretty cruel. they can’t blame nico for choosing to run away again.

they still give him a very warm reception whenever nico does visit though, as temporary as it is. connor’s the one that notices that nico always makes sure to greet them whenever he was around and he’s pretty glad to know that nico feels comfortable enough with them to check in.

i’m still on the belief that it should have been the stolls to find nico when he was sneaking up on the romans tbh. the “there are people here who care about you” line would make much more sense from nico’s former camp counsellors.

i like to think that they’re one of the first people in chb nico feels comfortable enough to tell about his sexuality and and tries not to cry when they respond by hugging him and thank him for telling them.

“want us to hook you up? we’re very good wingmen.” connor tells him

“i think mitchell from aphrodite is single” travis comments

they’re both very pleased to startle a laugh out of him. nico giggles himself silly and for a moment the stolls are reminded of the little 10 year old who toddled after them and spouted off little mythomagic facts he memorised by heart.

nico does end up helping them with pranks. he figures if the other campers were going to look at him like he was going to do something to them anyway, then he might as well earn it. 

he’s also more than willing to get them contraband outside of chb, especially since chiron basically gives him permission to do whatever the hell he wants. 

they’re probably on the very small list of people who nico’s willing to talk about bianca with, especially when the anniversary of her death approaches. especially when they helped him grieve her the first time she left, too.

ONF as Demigods!

A/N: Random inspo for this, although I’ve been think about it for a hot minute; I’m also connecting these all to Percy Jackson and the Olympian’s universe, so if you haven’t read the books or at least watched the movies, odds are you won’t know what I’m talking about. Anywho, enjoy!

~~~~~~~

Hyojin

Son of Zeus

Leader of on team vs leader of the gods (sort of)

The power this man holds when he is performing on stage is nothing short of the king of gods

he also has the wrath of Zeus inside when he gets pissed

I honestly just get the vibe that he would be the son of the most powerful god because he’s the most a powerful man

You’re lying if you disagree that he doesn’t just straight up radiate power

J-us/Seungjun

Son of Posideon

So, honestly, this one is more of just a feeling than actual solid reasoning, but let me try and explain the best I can

He is the off (dance/performance) team leader, meaning his body movements are very fluid.... like water...? Ew this is a bad analogy

Honestly idk, but he definitely has big three energy and he’s too chill to be son of hades

I could just see him as Percy Jackson tbh; like always ready to help the new kids, but also very competitive and strong. I think he would fit this role really well

Leader of the camp, I think yes💅

E-tion/Changyoon

Son of Aphrodite

Honestly, just look how pretty he is and tell me he ISN’T the son of the goddess of love and beauty

But seriously, I swear this boy can charmspeak with the way he gets ONF second chances when they play mini games👀

I mean, even if he’s not your bias, he somehow wiggles his way up on you bias list because there is no way you can’t love him

Man’s would love the gossip and just the attention tbh

He just radiates leader of the Aphrodite cabin so hard (not him saying he’s the third fashion leader in My Name Is...)

Wyatt/Jaeyoung

Son of Ares

Okay so hear me out, I know he’s the prettiest princess there ever was, but his stage name literally means “brave” so...

We all know he’s a cutie, but he could also physically kick your ass if he was more violent luckily he’s a sweetie

I also like the idea that everyone at camp is afraid of him and worried about “that deep-voices, big and scary Ares kid” but when you meet him he’s just the nicest, purest guy ever🥺

Idk I just get the vibe that he could CRUSH you in combat, but would rather just be a hype man and crump instead

Imagining Jaeyong in a gladiator outfit is...😳

MK/Minkyun

Son of Apollo

Have you ever seen anyone more sunshine than Minkyun? He literally G L O W S because of how sunny and happy he is!

His voice is also definetly a god of music voice; you can’t deny how great of a vocalist he is and it totally fits with Apollo

He cares a lot about cats creatures, so he’d heal you all the time with just his bright ass smile

He would definetly ask his dad to drive the sun chariot because he’s annoying precious :)

I honestly just think he absolutely embodies everything Apollo stands for idk about you...

U/Yuto

Son of Hermes

This one is a bit hard to explain but I have one main reason for it

Yuto is extreamly playful and I think that most children of Hermes (ahem the twins from PJ) have that sort of youthfulness

Like, couldn’t you imagine him with the winged sneakers just goofing around with the rest of the boys, and teasing them???

I also think he would be very good to the new campers who haven’t been claimed because Yuto is very sweet and considerate •v•

Idk I just get a big Hermes vibe from him👀

Bonus:

Laun/Minseok

Son of Hades

Similar to Wyatt’s case, I think the juxtaposition of his cute exterior to a “dark son of hades” is perfect

Also he gives me a Nico De Angelo vibe, as he’s just a kid who needs to be taken care of (that how he is in the beginning of the series I think)

Honestly, a sweet boy with the power to raise the dead is really a vibe and I am obsessed with the idea

Hades is not on Olympus anymore vs Minseok..... you get the idea

I’m sorry for that last one it’s kinda sad oof

~~~~~~~

A/N: hey, I hope you liked it! Sorry if there is some inaccuracy from the PJO series, as it’s been a while since I read them. I’ve just been thinking about this for a bit and thought I’d share my thoughts. Remember, if you enjoyed this, follow for more content!

share the love con panels

thought i’d write down some interesting answers from the cast (there were many more, but i have a bad memory and i took only a few notes)

first of all, before the panels even started the staff told us not to ask questions about season four, we know they are filming it, but they can’t talk about it. so yeah, our hopes and dreams of an announcement or besse making a surprise appearance (🤡) didn’t come true. they never talked about it, when you mentioned it to them they raised their hands or zipped their mouths or were like “idk what u’re talking about 👀😇😬” so obviously they contractually have to keep their mouths shut. but it’s happening y’all!

the only one who slipped, at the very last panel, was rocco and i was the culprit lol. i asked them if they’d imagined the fandom would support them and fight so hard during the cancellation months and bea said no, seeing our hashtags trending almost every day and receiving so much love was touching and incredible. she made rocco talk (mentioned how “he became saint rocco”) and rocco also said he couldn’t imagine the amount of support, and that “the power is all in your hands, and it was worth it-“ and then realized he spoke too much dhshdhfvk the others side-eyed him and he was like “ops” but we all laughed and moved on.

pietro had a lgbtq+ themed panel with an italian youtuber called shanti. they talked a lot about representation, how it changed for the better in the last 20 years or so, how for example right now there’s attention being given to trans* storylines too, and pietro made some really good points about how a show like skam italia should give hope and a positive representation to a young audience, without unnecessary violence or struggles inserted just for tragedy’s sake. how it may seem that martino lives an “easy” and relatively painless experience coming out and being gay, at least in his season, but young queer people should hope and know that that’s possible for them too. he said that he and filippo are different, and it’s good and precious that they are. we don’t know if filippo is an activist, like pietro is, but sometimes sharing one’s personal experience is enough to help. even if filo is not shown as an activist, he is so aware of his identity, he shares his own experience and point of view with marti and it gives marti courage. and that’s enough. finally, i asked what his favorite lgbtq+ tv shows are and he said queer as folk (he realized he was gay thanks to qaf), he absolutely loved euphoria, and thinks sense8 is a masterpiece (but he didn’t finish it smh). he said elite is just cute (😤) and he also told another fan he finished and loved fleabag!!

i also asked pietro what he, besse, rocco and fede were doing in the carrefour parking lot that night in august and he said that supermarket is open 24h and close to his house and he had to go buy groceries so he caught two birds with one stone, called them up and they drank and ate tramezzini (cold sandwiches, besse got a burrito he said) in the parking lot... and yes, they were organizing the revolution.

fede said what he likes the most about martino is his devotion to the people he loves. what he doesn’t like is how sometimes he shuts out the rest of the world, but it’s a problem he has learned to solve.

rocco said he’s thankful that skam italia has given him more awareness on some topics he used to treat superficially. he also talked about how much he relied on ludo and his research to portray bpd respectfully, and he’s glad that people found themselves represented in nico and that he could help them. it’s the greatest compliment. his eyes shine when he talks about nico, he loves his character so much.

a fan asked what was their favorite line to say. rocco’s is “non è figo il mio tipo?”, greta’s is “gli dei sono immortali”, nicholas’s is “sei frocio?”, pietro’s is “l’acqua solo se mi prende fuoco camera” from season 3, fede said “does it have to be my line? cause i like no zì sbagliato” but for his own it’s “minuto per minuto”. i can’t remember bea’s 😭

greta said the girls tend to stick to the script a lot more than the boys, she said ludovico tersigni literally never says a line how it’s written. nicholas confirmed that the boys (contrabbandieri) tend to improvise more and use the script sort of as a base, and that they piss besse off because he says it looks like they go on set just to goof around and gossip and not to do their jobs lol

i asked nicholas if they ate luchino’s pizza crusts. he said he had like 7 kilos of them because they had to retake that scene many many times, cause they wouldn’t stop laughing, as we can see in the bloopers (he also said it was the most fun scene to shoot) and bessegato would just keep adding mustard, ketchup and mayo on them. he felt sick the day after and “tasted mustard for a week”. fyi, nicholas and luchino are literally the same person. there’s no line between the character and the person, i love him so much. he also said he was having the time of his life in bracciano, with the light summer breeze, while the others were dying in their clothes and blankets.

marti’s spirit animal is the fox, fede’s is a golden retriever (debatable but okay). i think rocco said a cat, greta said besse once told her silvia is a goldfish, bea feels like a tiger but thinks sana is an eagle and i didn’t get the rest cause it was all very confusing lol

federico’s panel on sunday was actually very interesting, he is actually quite eloquent and deep when he wants to. he talked about how he really took the “minuto per minuto” philosophy to heart. how he doesn’t set long-term goals for himself, because he wants the freedom to change. how he chose to study medicine because after high school he knew he wanted to keep studying, and a bit like acting, there’s a fundamental human aspect to it that he’s always been interested in.

a fan reminded him it was marti and nico’s anniversary and he said “how are they celebrating? patatine e marmellata or sushi? in nicco’s new house? have our heroes moved there?” and we were all like Bitch u tell us... ofc he didn’t. but he said he imagines marti and nico celebrating their anniversary at a sushi restaurant in porto fluviale, in ostiense (rome). also, fede says their anniversary is bracciano (dec 1st) and rocco says it’s nel mio letto (nov 1st), i’m afraid we have to go with fede on this one.

i think the best question out of every panel was about marti’s interest in gio: was it real, or was it just a fixation? he said it was real interest, that stayed over the summer too. he and ludo had to find a way to show the shift in martino, and it was hard because they switched seasons and so there was no time for it to be gradually shown. however, where they imagined that shift to happen, is in ep1 when gio sleeps in marti’s bed. marti feels uneasy because of his feelings for him, but at the same time, he is uneasy because of the guilt. when he talks with eva on the phone and sees how giovanni reacts to that, how he’s still so clearly into her, he decides he has to move on from him, and gives up any hope or idea to have a relationship with him.

at rocco and fede’s sunday panel, rocco said he admires federico’s dedication to his work and his professionalism. fede and him bantered and bickered a lot, it was adorable, especially when rocco said some nonsense metaphor and fede was like “basta!” and fede kept asking for more compliments. but the question was about what marti and nico liked the most about each other, and federico said “it’s the kind of love where you like someone so much and you don’t even know why” as in, because you like everything about them, so that was beautiful.

a fan asked if there was any embarrassment between them, they said of course initially there was a lil bit of awkwardness, but they warmed up to each other immediately. one of the very first scenes they shot was an intimate one, rocco said the first kiss they shot was nel mio letto and they’d never rehearsed kissing before. amazing.

fede’s favorite color is blue (nicholas’ too).

rocco and nicholas sat in the crowd at the end of fede’s panel and rocco was like “tell us the story of bambi” and fede called him “er lucertola” and said it all started because of a tossico (junkie/drunk), i love them. nicholas made fun of him for his role in “i cesaroni” but fede said he’s only jealous cause they auditioned for the same role but fede got it, and nicholas has him saved as “andy dei cesaroni” in his phone. 

some anecdotes from other moments (m&g, dinners) i found on twitter: federico said when they shot la grotta, there was this whole solemn atmosphere, and then he broke it cause when they finished shooting he realized he had rocco’s snot on his face and he was like “MA CHE CAZZO È, CHE SCHIFO (what the fuck, gross)” and said rocco was always crying on him (i guess referring to the martino e niccolò clip) and rocco was like yes there was a significant exchange of bodily fluids. okay rocchì.

apparently fede likes his beard so much he said he doesn’t recognize himself without it. 

some fans adopted two giraffes in the bioparco di roma in their name as a gift!

rocco cried on the phone with bessegato when skam italia was cancelled. we been knew but it hurts to get the confirmation.

maxence and lukas are two rays of sunshine. not an anecdote, but i felt like saying it.

last but not least, rocco, nicholas and fede went absolutely batshit over @crazybee‘s “alt er besse” shirt. their reactions were priceless. rocco and nicholas took pics of them, nicholas was the one who sent them to besse and he reposted it on ig. forever blessed.

ABC's - Nero (DMC)

ABC’s of Nero (these have been done for Nero a few times I think but I wanted to have a go lol)

To the people who sent in request, I'm in the middle of writing them out! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you!

A = Aftercare (What they're like after sex)

Nero will help clean you up nice and softly before wrapping you up in his arms and pressing delicate kisses on your head and shoulder… probably a fan of pillow talk.

B = Body part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partners)

He isn't very self conscious when it comes to his looks (besides his arm) he is very confident with his chest and abs. He loves your thighs and hands, loving to either pinch your thighs or hold your hands while being intimate.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I'm a disgusting person)

Nero is a smart boy. He'll make sure to use protection therefore always cumming inside a condom. However, if you're on the pill and he's comfortable enough with you, he'll cum inside you. Not a fan of cumming on your face but will release all over your butt and stomach depending on the position.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory,a dirty secret of theirs)

If Nero is away from you, he won't shy away from masturbation. He'll even go as far as humping his pillow while thinking of you. Also likes having his hair pulled but will never admit it out loud.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they're doing?)

He might be a little awkward when it comes to romance (dates, first kiss, holding hands, etc) but when it comes to sex, his confidence comes out and his cockiness makes him seem like he knows what he's doing, even if he doesn't. He is actually very skillful and will have you a moaning mess within seconds

F = Favorite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably exclude a visual)

Missionary. Likes to be able to see your face and hold your hand while pounding you. He likes a little romance in bed so these little things make him feel warm and safe. Also likes pinning you against walls with your legs wrapped around his waist and his hands gripping your thighs...

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment or are they humorous, etc)

More serious than goofy but won't shy away from tickling you and getting you to laugh. When he hasn't shaved in a while, he'll rub his prickly face against your neck when kissing you, loving how you giggle and attempt to tickle him back.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc?)

For some reason I like to imagine he's very smooth… maybe a little hair on his chest and maybe a little happy trail that will tease you anytime he's walking around shirtless, as if drawing your eyes towards his crotch… but other than that he is pretty much hairless everywhere else

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

He will shower you with compliments and maybe give you a little massage to get you in the mood. He wants you to be very comfortable with him, more than anything. Not really a fan of flower petals and music though, much preferring to get you in the mood himself.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcannon)

Nero prefers to be comfortable in his bed when he jerks off, but somehow always ends up in the shower instead. He'll lean against the wall and let the water clean up his mess afterwards. He will surprisingly do this a lot when you're not around...

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Loves having his hair pulled, praise kink (both giving and receiving), little bit of roleplay but not too much… and secretly loves being dominated, so that includes being blindfolded, teased and doesn't like to be restrained but also does???

L = Location (Favorite places to do the do)

Bed… and that's about it. He isn't one for any kind of public places cause if someone else sees you naked he'll get pissed off cause you're for his eyes only. He'll shower with you some times though… So yeah, bed and shower.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

When you wear anything that shows off your thighs. If you wear his clothes. If you rub your hands over his shoulders and/or waist. If you kiss his neck. If you are in charge and tell him what to do/what not to do (specifically in the bedroom) A lot of things get him going…

N = NO (Something they wouldn't do, turn offs)

Anything that hurts you, is a BIG no no. He doesn't mind a little bit of pain on his end, but he can't stand the thought of anything hurting you, let alone himself. The only time he gets a little too rough is with his thrusts when he can't control himself (probably from you teasing him for three days straight). He also isn't into inviting other people into the bedroom, so threesomes, foursomes and all that are off limits for him. Also isn't a fan of humiliation.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Prefers to be the one giving rather than receiving. He knows how much you love it so he won't do it too often, making it feel a thousand times better when he finally does. He's very skillful with his mouth and knows it, so if you're in a bad mood he'll cockily say something about how his tongue can help you feel better.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

I mean… he always starts out slow and sensual. But if you've been teasing him for a while or if he's just feeling really needy then he'll let loose a little and accidentally get a little rough. He will apologize for being so rough with you afterwards but you have to remind him that you're not made of glass. And if you happened to like it a little rough, then you should definitely let him know…

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

He isn't against quickies but definitely much prefers to be more intimate in a bed rather than quickly catching a release in the back of Nico’s van while she's out. However, if he hasn't had alone time with you for a while he will definitely pull you into the small shower inside the van and have his way with you there. Anywhere that isn't the van or in his own home is a big no no for him though.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Literally only okay with taking the risk of getting caught inside the van. He knows Nico would never let him hear the end of it, but if it's a chance to piss her off while having a little fun with you… then he'll take it.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they last for, how long do they last...)

Okay this depends on who's in charge. If it's him, then he can go about 4-5 maybe even 6 rounds before he is struggling to keep himself on top of you without crushing you. If you're in charge (that includes teasing him constantly and maybe having denied his orgasms previously) he'll only last about 3 before he's almost in tears from over stimulation. But he secretly loves that…

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

I feel like Nero wouldn't have toys, but he'd find things around the house the use instead. You wanna blindfold him? He's handing you one of your scarfs with a cheeky grin on his face. He wants to be gagged? Why not use your panties? So yeah, things like that… Among other things ; )

U = Unfair (How much do they like to tease)

Not a very patient guy, so he knows that if he wants to tease you, he's also teasing himself because he has to wait. That doesn't mean he doesn't like to tease you constantly. He loves when you tease him though, thinks you're very rude whilst you're doing it but afterwards he realises just how good you are at it.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make)

He is pretty quiet, biting his lip to stop himself from being too loud otherwise he'll get all flustered if he moans too loudly. But, if you're riding him with him pinned under you, exactly where you want him… he'll be very loud, unable to keep quiet. Make sure to fulfill his praise kink by telling him how much you love the sounds he makes.

W = Wildcard (Get a random headcannon for the character of your choice)

Teared up the first time you had sex with him because it felt so good. Which he pretends was just allergies because he's got a reputation to uphold. Heaven forbid Dante or Nico ever find out about that fun little fact…

X = X-ray (Let's see what's going on in those pants, picture or words)

He is pretty average in length but makes up for it in girth. Pink tip, veins along underside of his shaft with a slight upward curve.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Wants to have sex with you at least once a day, maybe more. He'd go as many times as you want because he wants to please you, no matter who's in charge.

Z = ZZZ (...how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

No matter how tired Nero is, he'll always make sure to clean you both up with a wet towel before he even let's himself lie down to relax. He will talk with you while you cuddle up to him and it isn't until he's sure you're sound asleep that he will let himself doze off.

Should I do one of these for Leon?
