#he fucken loves Ace

[existential-crisis24]

My boyfriend just got to Thriller Bark and paused the episode to ask me when Luffy gets the scar on his chest and starting just asking like simple questions about the time skip and such.

And man. Oh boy, he kept getting confused as to why the time skip is gonna happen and he doesn’t like that I won’t tell him but I have to see his defeated face when it happens. I wanna watch the anguish that I felt so many years ago wash over him too.

happy pride month, folks! here's some headcanons for the ways the agency trio (+ amanda) relate to the queer community

* farah — did turn to trans-run websites for functional advice, especially on medication (she always double-checks any information she receives, doctors included), and occasionally for surface-level validation (it calms her a bit), but in general never talked to anyone and didn’t even spend too much time reading personal stories. she's been focused on being "normal", on passing well and being stealth, and on achieving her career goals. doesn't like pride parades but not for internalized queerphobia reasons, it's just that they are too loud, too crowded, and make her anxious. it has never ever occurred to her that she can have two lgbt identities and be a lesbian on top of being trans. now she is like a stumbling mentally ill baby deer being led along by all her friends and loved ones.

* todd - knows who he is, experiences neither shame nor pride on the matter, doesn't give much of a fuck. he experimented and screwed around in college, made friends with other lgbt students and musicians, but ultimately was focused more on his music and band than on the queer community (and its issues and plights), even tho these two overlap somewhat (punks are gay, obv). since the amanda fuckening and the loss of his sense of self, he had cut himself off from any possible communities irl and online, including the queer one. currently is slowly making peace with being in love with his best friend. not the kind of guy to know identities outside of "lgbt + nb + ace" and be on top of discourse, is the kind of guy to take enough water and some cereal bars to pride.

* dirk — has a very uneven, sporadic knowledge of all things queer caused by spontaneous falling down wikia rabbitholes. knows what "abrosexual" and "genderflux" means, doesn't know that bears aren't only animals. has a vague idea of who he is (possibly kind of a guy but also not really, pretty sure he likes other guys, not very keen on sex), but changes hyperspecific labels every month because he can't settle.

* amanda — was on tumblr as a teen and young adult, has seen it All, including some pretty unhinged discourse. knows her way around. over the years has progressed to a "you can do whatever you want forever, idgf" worldview, is a chaos queer. genuinely lives by "acab" and "be gay do crimes", believes in abolition of just about everything.

Alrighty! I was looking forward to the heart of the cards and the return of the shadow games... But it looks like we're getting alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. Which I'm okay with really... just a little disappointment. But anyway.

Lets talk about what just happened.

Boy man child over here seems like... hows the best way to put this... like Kaito Goshikida at home? Like he even has his own chaise your dreams and push it to the MAX catchphrase in Gotcha, which like... holly hell sense this is JUST pokemon it's one planck length away from being copyright infringement... But I like em! Seems like a wholesome lad and a good boi which after Ace is a breath of fresh air. I'll take Diet Kaito over sugar free Tendou any day. All in all a 6/10 boi which I'm interested in seeing more of.

Girl Lady over here on the other hand has a diverging path ahead of her. We can get a cool competent and strong battle heroine who's got tertiary rider written all over her... Or we can get a "B-B-B-BAKA" TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTsundere who's gunna be a petulant child while the writers make Hotaro instantly good at everything she's trained her entire life for... Which do YOU think Toei will do? Feel free to write your answer on a letter and mail it to 5425 Toei Hates Women St, Toluca Lake California.

...Gaim I hope I'm wrong...

Also! Check out my two weed smoking girlfriends and their little sister... So they've got some serious Egyptian theming right?... Why isn't this more Yugioh! Seriously! I am so FUCKING moderately perturbed by this you have NO idea... Anyway they're alright. Runs the gambit of "Fight Girl" "Horny Girl" and "Creepy Little Girl" so like... While the Evil Counsel of Tropes over here is very played out I see some real potential.

lets see.... what else... what....... else....

I would die for you. You have no idea how much I love you. You are now the most important thing in this show and maybe the franchise as a whole, I will purchase all of your merchandise and dedicate myself to your cause. 11/10, could not be improved upon. Perfect son that I will never tire of.

So yeah I'm looking forward to the Hopper 1 show featuring Hopper 1 and his less important friends...

...

Also the fucken Dead guy from the opening is Hotaro's dad right? Like a part of me was like "If they make Decade Hotaro's dad I'll eat my fucken lungs" but there's no fucken way they'll be that cool.

[flaim-ita]

*sighs* alright as someone who has more or less memorized Star of the Star of the Stars including all three translations let’s talk about Ace in the music video. I think I’m insane.

Settle in bc this post is a LOT of scattered Ace thoughts.

Initial thoughts: look we all know Mr Kan can’t dance but I think it’s very fun to notice how the outfits of the backup dancers are loose, fairly modern looking black clothes and long brown hair (Michinaga), but their actual shirts more resemble Keiwa. As backup dancers to Ace’s spotlight. We even see them SPINNING AROUND THE SPOTLIGHT

Speaking of the spotlight backdrop, we only see it during two lines. “Top or loser, Ace end” and “shine in the spotlight”

It’s also pretty fun to note: Ace has masked backup dancers because he is the star and everyone else is the loser here. Until now, no players have been people he even deemed worthy to test (seeing him interact with Sae and Daichi implies that both of them failed theirs in “Infinity” (Ace’s first round) and “shadowed” (the absolute fuckening round it appears that Butchi lost in, Tooru died in, and Sae played in). This is what I call them but unimportant. The point is these simple all black looks beget shadows and also Entry Form.

Okay now to open the video

Ace starts the video serious, a little mournful. “Endless failure, endless despair”. Makes sense!

But uh.

“If it’s that kind of world I’ll end it”. Ace why are you pointing the finger gun at yourself? That feels. Worrisome. “I’ve experienced so much suffering that death has no meaning to me anymore” sure is. One of your canon lines. Please do not die.

(I am very sure he has killed himself several times however.)

Next up: he raises his drink during “in this fleeting, loveless world”. Which is a pun on his current name, Ukiyo. Depending on the spellling it means either “fleeting world” or “loveless world”. Ace literally shut up I hate you.

(I love him)

“Ah, many times I’ve seen it. Ah, some desires don’t reach the Grand Prix” he sings in mournful tones while up on billboards. The very premise of the song is a falsehood. His wish is the one that cannot reach the DGP. He did not wish for the Star of the Star of the Stars because he wanted it. No. His wish was to find his mother. It could never truly reach the DGP.

“It’s fate, maybe” is the line here. But for “it’s predetermined, maybe”, we don’t pull from the heartfelt Ace with a hand to his chest to a kneeling and smiling Ace. We don’t need to. It IS predetermined by Ace himself.

it’s like midnight for me so i’m gonna ramble about me finding out i was bi + hope ur orientation goes well yunnie!

ok so! my high school used to have swimming carnivals, like for competitive swimming within a school setting. anyways so i came second in the 100m freestyle 💔💔 but after that me and the other guys i was racing with obvs went to dry ourself off to go meet our friends on the bleachers.

anyways so one of the guys was my friend, and one second we’re changing, and the next he’s complaining abt his gf cus she refused to have sex w him (which is fair we were only 15 then + hard to access birth control)

anyways yeah so then the other guys left and i saw my friend was fr upset over his gf refusing to have sex so but i took his side, and we just talked about how she sucked for a while and then i joked that ‘hey if she won’t do it i will.’

yeah so long story short i sucked him off in the changing rooms and realised after i didn’t actually hate it??? but i also didn’t not enjoy being w girls. but i also wasn’t insanely sexual like most of my friends. settled on bi (prefer girls) + ace

obvs looking back it was toxic as fuck cus first off he’s in a relationship, secondly his gf was allowed to have boundaries, but we were both just fucking around?? idk i won’t defend myself i was shit in hs lol but we’re actually still good friends !!

that’s all it was kinda underwhelming if i’m being honest LOL ☠️☠️ still v much closeted tho, and so the most time i spend w a guy is in the disabled bathrooms if ykwim 💯💯

anyways that’s all. love u yun hope ur having fun at orientation baby xxxx

head empty no thoughts. i wanted to play hsr when i got back just to regenerate my braincells but the internet said no to my ipad for some goddamn reason.

MY FEET ARE ON FIRE. IM NEVER WEARING HEELS TO UNI AGAIN. IT WAS FINE ONE MOMENT BUT THEN AFTER I ATE LUNCH MY FOOTSIES JUST WENT “NO BITCH SIT DOWN.” fucken campus tour was today too so i had to walk around sweating my ass off from the heat while my toes were in hell.

Also u swim? competitively? Wow my hubby is becoming more and more delicious by the day. The depth of flavor? 😙👌🏻💋

I love how you guys just went through with it. But yeah your friend was kinda pee pee poo poo for that. The question is, did he enjoy it though?

…and did he pass out-

[xamaxenta]

I’m brain dead and still sending you camboy ace thoughts so this is a cont to the ask I sent you like 3 hours ago because I need the horny out of my head.

Tbh I see Marco as kinda an incidental endurance fucker and sabo as a sprinter if that makes sense? Like Marco can go for aces and doesn’t seem to know what a refractory period is so is the overstimulation king but just isn’t into being rough? Idk if I see that as a personal choice or a hip muscle thing but especially with his special session with camboy ace he is basically a human fucking machine because he does not stop despite coming like 5 times and does seem to go soft. The chat is questioning if he used something but sabo pipes up that they were all hanging before this and he did not take anything apparently this guys just a weirdo. Marco just replies “we both paid an ungodly amount to fuck this pretty little thing we’re both weirdos. As for you substance accusations I’m just ‘like that’ when I have proper motivation.”

Meanwhile sabo is a sprinter in that he rails ace hard and fast and nearly blows his brains out with it ace is loosing his mind but is done in like 30 min and needs some time to regroup before jumping back in. Course he’s a sadist so he uses that time to play with ace using his mouth and hands but yeah. Can outclass Marco but doesn’t have his stamina. That being said he doesn’t stop talking and that’s driving ace as mad as everything else because ‘dear god I’m the pornstar here how are you making me blush like a virgin’

Marco staying inhuman and mythical no matter the au is always top tier 👏🏽 let him give Ace the insane endurance fuckening dickdown he deserves and vice versa because even tho Ace’s brain checked out half an hour ago his body is still limber and wanting

I love the substance accusations being met with Marco’s steadfast confidence like hm, think what you like but i have a pretty damn good reason to keep it up dont you think, Sabo snarks at him like didnt know old guys like you had in you tbh

Marco eyeing Sabo disdainfully like constantly racing to the finish line wont be as beneficial as you think, you’re a hedonist Sabo, you care about your immediate pleasures rather than the long game

Sabo: r u saying im selfish? (Absolutely is)

Marco: im just saying it how it is

And meanwhile Ace is already seven layers deep into emotional overstimulation if he isnt careful he’s gonna be stuck with a perpetual ahegao face lmao

[osc-confessions]

everyone else probably has normal comfort characters/favs from ii and mine are fucking yinyang and knife and BALLOON of all things like??? Why balloon? why is he the one i want to squish so badly

[traumxrei-archive]

i've been playing book 5 in jp so this is my shitpost abt it sjkfsfkd

i have a new perspective of vil and his characer. abt to give this boy the biggest hug ever. i'm a good way through the book, i'm at...5-50 iirc so i'm getting close to the end ! (maybe i won't be saying this when i get to the end LMAO i haven't even reached his ob yet- but nonetheless i have a brand new image of this sparkly boi)

[ book 5 spoilers, me simping for vil and j*m*l, random theories n thoughts i had + fic ideas below the cut ! ]

ok so: vil. idk why ppl in fanon treat him like he's so meannn he and riddle are literally the only two dormleaders that actually care for their dorm members *cries* like bro. b r o. i'm reading thru this thinking abt how i've been interpreting him kinda wrongly this whole time T^T

i wouldn't say i'm completely off, but vil isn't as mean as some ppl say. he's brutally honest but if you're working together on something he'll do his best to make sure you'll do your best. like with the healthy eating, he didn't even get mad when they drank epel's apple juice. he only used his um on the sweets, since he wanted them eating healthg up till vdc. i doubt he cared abt what they ate after ngl.

OH WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABT THE MASCULINITY AND FEMININITY THING. like guys !!! this is exactly it !!! he's literally teaching epel that being more feminine doesn't make you any less powerful or make you less male than you actually are. he's teaching him and to an extent even deuce, how to weaponize their strengths. in his case and epel's they've been blessed with beauty, so ofc he's teaching epel how to use his beauty to the max and make it into an asset rather than something to be looked down upon. obviously epel's struggled with being looked down for looking more feminine, and vil is trying to fix that mindset for him and teach him how to use it for his own good (e.g. advertising his family's juice business)

ugh, the way vil speaks is so nice T^T i love the way his voice sounds when he's not shouting shdhfjfjf i even set him as my home screen ! (got his ssr last year during the 1st anniv by accident shdhdh) also his speaking is softer, the way he uses "atashi" and "anta" is music to my ears ngl. like he should actually start an asmr channel.

speaking of music to my ears. you will NOT believe how fast my mf heart started beating when they all started to sing piece of my world– like the auditions were so good too, but that one twistune with them all singing ??? ive played it sO many times now–

also rook is so funny sjdkfjskf little blond french man who rates everyone's performances 100 beauté ! bc he can't find the flaws in their performances !! everyone has their own beauté within them !! and vil being like. "i'm so dumb, why the hell did i make him a judge too-"

and uhm. question type beat. why is ace like. always so good at everything ? it's kinda weird, but he's always always better than yuu n deuce and i wonder if that's a story mechanic that they'll explain. like when they learned dancing, ace was miles ahead of deuce for some reason even tho they've both never danced before.

ALSO I WANNA SMACK HIM WITH A STICK. LIKE I LOVE HIM, BUT HE'S SO MEAN TO DEUCE IT MAKES ME WANNA KICK HIM FJSKDFKSF the way he feels nO rEMORSE and always feels like he's the main character...boutta kick his ass fr fr

AND MY BOY JAMIL. I PROMISED I WOULDN'T GET ATTACHED TO THIS SNAKEY PIECE OF SHIT AND I DID AND I'M ANGRY LIKE WTF. his voice ???? his singing was so fucken good i'm so d e a d. i'm so very dead everytime he sings and his audition ? i threw my phone on the bed to scream bc wtf jamil ily‐ no i do not, i do not love snek man. (i'm in denial pls help)

i'm absolutely getting sidetracked but one more thing about jamil: when vil chose him to become one of the main vocals for the vdc performance. the way he was shocked and surprised bc– "you want me? as the main vocal?" and when he tried passing it off to kalim but then he's like "...nevermind, i'll work hard–" I ALMOST CRIED.

LIKE IK IT MIGHT SEEM SILLY. but this was LITERALLY the first time that he outright bested kalim in something openly. the first time that he let go of that need to but kalim on a pedestal and placed himself and his own dreams first. to others it may seem small, but to him it must've been such a radical shift.

also you bet ur ass i'm gonna write a fic abt the vdc camp shenanigans that happened at ramshackle. i BET they've all cuddled at least once. ok maybe not jamil. but adeuyuu definitely...and kalim. is kalim. epel probably didn't join in either but he liked watching them lmao.

i wanna write a fic where yuu wants to audition as well but they're too shy so they practice alone and. someone catches them sometime. omg what if it's jamil- idk why i'm so down bad, let's just say i'm in the honeymoon phase.

ok but watch as they all start complimenting jamil's singing, piggybacking off kalim's enthusiasm and jamil just. slowly dies inside bc ;-; he's getting validation ;-; like hi, yes, i'd like to report a murder, it's mine when i write that fic bc i'll shred my heart for this man.

oh also deuce ? his whole like. using ignihyde's magical wheel and dragging epel away into the sunset....this guy has got moves. like unironically, that was the smoothest shiz i've ever seen- him and epel's friendship is so cute <3 like damn i'm surprised they're not a more popular ship ngl. like yeah, there's epel n jack which is also cute, BUT LOOK AT THEM AT THE BEACH GUYSSSS- praying that the en players will make epedeuce a thing. (or would it be deucepel? idk epedeuce is cuter ???)

n i'm so happy to see everyone at the festival !! like seeing savanaclaw at the venue, riddle touring with yuu, azul n idia at the boardgame club, the tweels at jade's booth. it has fulfilled all my basic emotional needs. seeing them all interacting as well is so surreal to me, i just am in LOVE. ALSO I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE MALLEUS GOING TO VDC !! (you bet i didn't miss the part where he was like "hmm, it's a shame you won't be performing" like sir *stares him down* kiss me rn-)

i can't wait to get to the actual performances at vdc tho *cries* i really do wonder what happens to make vil lose it. bc although he's been feeling the strain of the negative emotions, he hasn't been like. lashing out. rather it seems he's kinda turned the negative emotions he's feeling into fuel for his performance at vdc. so i wonder what'll set him off. if it follows the pattern of the past overblots, it'd be something that the scarabia members did or said + yuu's influence. (like adeuce's duel in book 1, riddle's confrontation of leona's scheme in book 2, and leona destroying azul's contracts in book 3- i can make a whole post later abt parallels but. yes.)

[edencallsme]

Could you write more corpsewalker au, I really love the one you write and would love to read more?

*Vibrates excitingly on an astronautical level* Holy shit, fuck yes, I love infodumping about my AUs, let's fucken goooooo--

(CorpseWalker Infodump in the undercut.)

=====

First of all, let's talk about the Adeuce duo. Since they're, like, always with Yuu from the very beginning, it's only natural that they're the first ones who knows about Yuu's.. condition. (Other than Crowley and maybe the teachers?.. Including Sam, of course.)

Ace will definitely be the first one to find out, with the impromptu sleepover and all that jazz. And yes, he will have a mental breakdown. Knowing that the kid who saved your life and kept you from being expelled is actually some kind of zombie? Big fucking L, my dude. But don't worry, Ace will get over it. (Cue all the undead jokes. Yuusha is not pleased, my guy.)

And of the question on how Yuusha died.. It can be anything really! In my own personal opinion, I'd like to think that our beloved undead Directing Student has tragically murdered. By who, you may ask? IDK, but you have to unlock Yuusha's sad backstory first.

Other than that, it's free game! The CorpseWalker AU is made for my own selfish, gore-loving, dark writer heart. If it's either that Yuu died in a house fire or drowned in a lake, their death is completely up to you and me. (RIP Yuusha, they will never know peace. 😔👊)

I also mentioned that non-human characters could notice something's... wrong with Yuu. Like how the Savanaclaw students recoiling at their scent (because Yuu probably smells like a rotting body), or how Octavinelle students like the Leech twins are thrown off by them (mostly because they can smell the blood underneath their robes). Some Diasomnia fae students will also point out the eerie aura of death and despair around Yuu, especially those who are closely intune with dark energy.

Speaking of non-human students.. What about Grim? He's the one who opened Yuu's gate/coffin and the first character that Yuu officially met.

Well.. At first, Grim did notice that Yuu is strange, especially with the stench of blood and all that. But he was too desperate and focused on getting into NRC than actually figuring out on why Yuu feel like that. Of course, after cooling off, Grim.. finally sees Yuu as they truly are.

They're not some kind of fragile, magic-less human-- No, there's more sinister going on. There's this unmistakable air around that the feline-like monster sees, something dark, and cold, and oh-so malicious. However, Grim is a monster first and foremost, he doesn't know much about humans, and probably doesn't know the difference between Yuusha (the first human he ever met) and the other humans. Flaming Cat Son definitely thinks that Yuusha is like any other human, just a little different, like him. (Oh, Grim, you couldn't be more wrong.)

In conclusion, Yuusha is NRC's local cryptic and I will die on this hill.

And oh yeah, Malleus will definitely be put off by this.. zombie(?) walking around on school grounds. They'll still be friends because Yuusha will relate to Malleus' issue of people being intimidated by him, since technically they have the same problem too? (IDK, it's more like Yuusha have some dark vibes and people can see that, while Malleus is more of a power-level kind of issue.)

Anyways, have some random bloopers because I ran out of brain juice after writing this post.

=====

Malleus, concerned: Child of man, are you aware that your internal organs are spilling out of you?

Yuusha, in their death state: Yea, it just happens something. I've faced much, much worst before. Don't worry about it, Tsunotarou.

Malleus:

Malleus: Child of man, do you need help?

==

(During Leona's Overblot fight.)

Leona, sweating and panting: wHY AREN'T YOU NOT DEAD?!

Yuusha, literally standing on one leg with their ribs exposed: Because Death is a social construct and I hate society.

Yuusha: Also, can you stop with this sandstorm? There's sand sticking to my intestines and it's REALLY itchy.

Ruggie, who's trying to fight back Leona's spells: can we please talk about this AFTER the fight?!?

==

Jack, nervous: Hey, Yuu, can I ask you a random question?

Yuusha: Hm? Yea, sure.

Jack: Why do you smell of blood?

Yuusha: Oh, that's because I'm dead, Jack.

Jack:

Yuusha:

Jack: Th-That's a joke, right? Right, Yuu?

Yuusha: :) *processes to walk away*

Jack: Y-Yuu! It's a joke, right?! Yuu? YUU!!

dragon age :D

buckle up!! i have been needing to talk about dragon age for MONTHS

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Zevran. I didnt really care about him at first but i really grew to like him over time. He’s got depth. He’s got charm. He’s got style. He’s got traumaa (dramaa?). A+ wanna see more of him! hope he has a small cameo in the next game. I just wanna see him doing well in life☺️

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

vaea. love her! love her character (headcanon her as ace) just wanna give her a hug! She’s had to deal with so much and she deserves a break! Im a sucker for “heart of gold” characters. and she’s very much that. so capable. so cool. just want her to be happy 🥺 (maybe dating francesca?? pls?)

The comics have very much focused on her so im sure that she’ll be in the next game.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Briala. She barely go any time in the game. They really assumed that you have read the book. Once I actually read the book i saw she actually was a very deep character. Never making her get back with celene fr. Fuck celene 😡

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

felassan. Best character hands down. I spoiled the story to myself by accident when looking up official art. still not over it haha

really wanna see him in some other stories if bioware ever made another anthology book 🥰 too bad i probably never will 😭

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

Sigh. Michel De Chevin 🥲 sad little mad who tried so hard. Didnt care AT ALL about him when i played the game. He was just some dude who gave a quest like any other lol. Then I read masked empire. and HOT DAMN. he’s so pathetic. i want to help him.

small shout out to nathaniel howe for this. he’s not unpopular but he is pathetic. i say this respectfully.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

100% solas. narratively, he’s an awesome character and such a dramatic romance option. He’s also so fucken annoying. I say this respectfully. I want to throw a wrench in his plans and fix everything better than he ever could.

Tbf to him, he’s already gone through a lot of torment. i soecifically wanna torment him like sera pranks people. i wanna be the most inconvenient little shit that COULD be ignored but wont be.

i want to make him sigh and lose sleep over such minor annoyances caused by me lmao!

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

oghren 🙄😠. i just. really hate oghren. sure it was on purpose but i dont have to like it. go to superhell you pervy dwarf. I helped him through his shit in da awakening but i honestly mentally completely checked out for it.

Also celene🤬. again, her character makes sense, was well-written, and i understand her motivations. and thats exactly why i dont like her. superhell for you too celene!

[oddlyhale]

Headcanon:

James Ironwood has some Asian heritage. While not apparent in his own name, he had an Asian mother and Caucasian father. He took after his father's physique but inherited his mother's black hair and her eyes, and native language from her own teaching.

He can speak both English and Japanese fluently, but he didn't have anybody to speak foreign to.

Then, Clover Ebi comes along into the Ace Ops training. Clover is studious, wanting to learn Japanese to live up to his family's name: Ebi. While he was fluent, he also had nobody to talk to when he left home.

He would often chatter to himself in Japanese when he would get frustrated during training, and Ironwood could understand. He surprised Clover one day by asking, "Clover, how lucky would you say you are?" In Japanese.

Since then, the two men would exchange secret conversations between each other in their second language. Nobody understands and it's more funny than confusing.

Then the team finds out that Clover can speak more than five languages because that's how much fucken time he had growing up.

Lame headcanon but I love it.

[queen-fenestra]

okay so, i wrote some solangelo fanfiction and here it is. also, @wundersimp you said you would be interested and also tagging @simping-for-solangelo and @bookingfangirl

“It isn’t the 1900’s anymore, Nico. Nobody except stuck-up, homophobic drew is gonna hate on you. Just please, come outside. Please. Just come to the dining pavilion with me. You have to eat,” Will said, pacing the Hades cabin. Drew Tanaka had seen Nico and Will holding hands. It had been the first time, after Will had spent weeks trying to convince Nico that hardly anyone at camp would at him. As Will had just said, it wasn’t the 1900’s anymore. Drew had been put on kitchen duty for the next month, and had to do all her activities supervised by the Stoll brothers. They could hand out as many even remotely fair punishments, as long as Katie approved. Katie was the only one who could make Travis do something, and, more impressively, make him not do something. Though Drew was getting a very fair punishment, her words didn’t stop hurting Nico. now he wouldn’t leave his cabin, or talk to anyone. Will had iris messaged Jason, Reyna, and Hazel, and they came immediately, but Nico wouldn’t let them into his cabin. Will came to Nico’s door today and knocked. He had heard no sound and went in, seeing Nico pointedly ignoring him.

“Yeah, alright. Sure,” said Nico dryly, “I have sooo much proof of that, considering what happened.” Nico sounded like he was heavily rolling his eyes. His voice was filled with so much sarcasm that it hurt Will to hear it.

“Nico, Drew is an asshole, but others aren’t like her. Just come outside. Doctors orders?” Will finished, sounding uncertain as to whether saying doctors orders would help.

“Why should I come outside. I have KD stocked up, and I don’t want to. And nobody wants to see me.” 

“Nico, KD isn’t good for you. And you need water.” Will pleaded. Nico pointed to the tap.

“One good reason, Will.” Nico said. 

“Because I love you Nico. That's why.” Will said. He was done with Nico’s shit. He was playing the ace up his sleeve. He looked at Nico. Nico started shaking, and Will rushed over to him. Will carried Nico to the couch.

“Did you not believe that I loved you? That I cared? I came to your cabin every goddamn day, hoping to see you. Your pretty face, your chocolaty brown eyes. I wanted to hear your voice, even if it was just you telling me to scram. I missed you.”

“Nobody likes me, I’m the loner. Everyone thinks I’m creepy. Son of Hades, raiser of the dead, now the weird gay kid. They all wish I would leave. I don’t know why I haven’t yet. No one can like me. It’s not natural,” Nico said, struggling to escape Will’s iron grasp.

“Nico, please,” Will begged, reaching out to brush a tear out of Nico’s eye, “Please. Not everyone will always like you. If you’re holding out for universal popularity, you’re going to be in here a long time.” Nico looked down into Will’s begging face.

“That sounds like it’s from something you made me read or watch,” said Nico, glaring accusingly into Will’s eyes. Will hid a grin.

“Maybe. I’ll tell you if you come outside with me,” cajoled Will, gazing hopefully up at Nico.

“No. You may like me, but everyone else wants me gone. I don’t want to go outside, just to have other people wishing I was gone.” Nico said, looking away from Will. 

“Nico, I know eight people other than me who care. Three of whom came earlier this week to get you out of this cabin. Reyna, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Percy, Annabeth, Leo, and Piper would hate a world without you. They were so concerned, Reyna, Hazel, and Jason came and sat outside your cabin for three days. Travis and Connor brought them food because they thought their cause was worthy. Travis and Connor cared. Other campers came and sat with them as you blatantly ignored all the people who cared about you because you didn’t believe people could care about you since Bianca died. But people do care. And you thinking that they don’t hurts them as much as it hurts you, because they think they aren’t being good enough to you. They think they hurt you in some way. But they didn’t and they deserve better than what you’re giving them. I understand that you’re hurting, and that Drew is a little shit and you have full permission to hate her, but we just want you back. Tell me Nico, when you say ‘other people’ hate you, do they have a face. Who are they?” Will asked. He let out all his emotions to try to get through to Nico. 

“You wanna know who other peoples faces are?” yelled Nico, “You wanna know? It’s Drew, yes, but also the kids at camp Jupiter sneering at Hazel and I as we walked past. It’s my dad as he told me I wasn’t as good as my sister and never would be, as he took Percy and locked him up, even after I asked my dad for a favour, saying it was for my crush. It’s the aphrodite kids shoving Percy and Annabeth into the lake. It’s Travis and Connor teasing me about HAVING A CRUSH ON ANNABETH when I saved them all from destruction at the battle of manhattan. It’s cupid- it’s cupid outing me in front of Jason in croatia.” Nico’s voice broke as he started sobbing. Will pulled him back onto the couch as he crumpled into tears. 

“Nico, people hurt you. I recognize that. But Hazel and Jason and Reyna and I sitting outside your cabin trying to help you aren’t those people. Your dad tried to make it up to you, he gave you a french zombie chauffeur. Travis and Connor tried to help us, bringing us meals in support of you. Cupid doesn’t matter. He’s an ocean away. All these people who mentioned aren’t going to attack you the moment you step outside your door. Come outside.”

“No.”

“Fine then,” said Will, “I’ve tried everything. Bye I guess.” He stood up and left. He wasn’t always calm and cool. He most often felt like an elastic band stretched almost to breaking point. And sometimes he snapped. He wasn’t the carefree, relaxed guy they always saw. He had his fair share of hurt. He had seen his siblings die, sometimes in his hands, as he tried desperately to save them. All the fallen campers, an inch away from death, lying around him at the end of the battle, knowing he couldn’t save them all. All the hours he worked in the infirmary after the warriors of the battle who got all the credit relaxed. All the times he needed a shoulder to cry on and having to be someone else’s shoulder. All that. 

____________________________________________________________________________

Nico left his cabin as soon as Will was out of sight. Not to go eat food or be with other people, but to be with Bianca. He shadow traveled to Zeus’s fist, where he had said goodbye to Bianca. Now he was saying goodbye to times with Will. He still shouldn’t have been shadow traveling and was almost incorporeal when he arrived. He sat there, sobbing silently into his knees. He wanted to disintegrate into the earth. He ran his dagger along his arms and legs, drawing trickles of blood. He didn’t want to leave, so he didn’t. 

____________________________________________________________________________

“Nico?” Will called tentatively, “Are you here?” the door to the Hades cabin creaked slightly as he opened it. There was not a living thing in it. Nico wasn’t there. Where was Nico. Nico. If Nico was gone… Nico. No. Where was Nico. 

Okay Will, Will thought to himself, don’t panic. Where would Nico go? I have no fucken clue. Who knew Nico the longest? Percy. Who knows Nico the best? Jason or Reyna or Hazel. Problem, they are all the way on the west coast. Guess I gotta go see Percy.

____________________________________________________________________________

Percy set his homework down and walked towards the door of his apartment. Why did people come right when he was starting his schoolwork? He got distracted and never got back on track. Percy opened the door and was met by Will. Will looked very anxious, so Percy let him in.

“Please say there isn’t another war and you’re here to recruit me for it,” sighed Percy, already resigned to his fate.

“No,” Will assured him, “It’s not that. It’s Nico. He left. I don’t know where he is. Do you have any idea where he could be hiding?”

“Yeah,” said Percy, “I’ll take you there. Follow me.” They walked down to the street, where Paul’s prius was parked, and drove to camp.

____________________________________________________________________________

Nico felt like an asshole. He had driven Will away from him, just like everybody else he cared about. He had been so annoying his sister had joined the hunt. Percy had mistrusted him so much after his father had tricked Nico, and now he always felt that Percy didn’t fully trust him. The members of the argoⅡ had been glad to get rid of him when he left with Reyna. Why did this always happen to him? He couldn’t have other people in his life. It didn’t work for him. As soon as he got attached to someone they always left. He didn’t deserve them.

____________________________________________________________________________

When Percy and Will got to camp, Percy set off at a fast pace towards the forest. They walked through the woods in a straight line, never varying in their direction. Will soon realized where they headed. They were a couple of meters away from the clearing around zeus’ fist, when Percy stopped. 

“This is my best guess,” said Percy, “He said goodbye to Bianca here. This is where he’d go if he lost someone. You might want to go alone. I’ll wait back at the big house. Annabeth told me something I should tell Chiron.” Percy turned around and walked back the way they had come. Will stepped into the clearing.

“Nico?” he called tentatively, “Are you there?” He looked and saw a crumpled from leaning against the rocks. “Nico!” Will rushed to Nico. Nico was sobbing and had blood running over his arms. He had scratched his werewolf cuts open.

“I’m sorry Will,” Nico sobbed into Will’s shirt, “You don’t deserve me. I’m sorry.”

“Shhh,” Will whispered, “Don’t be sorry. I know this is hard for you. We don’t have to go back right now. We can stay here, but we have to go back eventually. We can stay here for a while though.” He comforted Nico, letting Nico sob into his shirt. It was too much for Nico. He had just made up his mind to run away to the yukon, where he wouldn’t bother anyone again. He had no idea how long he sat there, sobbing into Will’s shirt. 

“I’m sorry that I’m difficult, Will. I’m sorry I made you snap.”

“Nico, it’s okay. It’s okay.”

“Let’s go back to camp. I’m hungry.” Hearing Nico say he wanted to go back to camp made Will smile. They headed out of the woods to the dining pavilion, where Nico ate healthy food, doctor’s orders. And Nico sat at the Apollo table, doctor's orders.
