#nicercy next gen

[takaraphoenix]

Sorry for being overexcited abt your chasingverse, I'm the anon earlier I really love Chasingverse! Usually not a big fan of Nicercy or Percico or OC centric fanfic anything before your Chasingverse but you made me attached to your next gen kids OCs and I love their dynamics that I apologize in advance for uh flooding your inbox earlier and I hope you won't mind!

Do not ever apologize for being excited about an author's work!! Love that shit ;D

And THANK YOU for the huge compliment!! I fully get you, I usually avoid OC fics myself, quite frankly xD

I don't know if you use FFNet and are aware of this, but if you love my OCs that much, I'll direct you to the lil community I gathered there with fics to my fics, about my OCs, it's called Phoe's Flock! ^-^

(No lie my proudest achievement is the fact that people have written fanfiction about my OCs!)

I wanna know if Donny/Derek would have biological kids if they got together... or Donny/Trend bc in the Drunken Dare Cornelia Salene is biologically Sam/Donny... how will that work?

Also I wanna know if Sander didnt get together with Donny and dated someone else at the time, who will Donny get together with in Chasing Fireflies? Maybe Sam? Or someone else hmm why do I feel like it would be interesting to see Victor or Jonas or even Chuck trying to get a shot at Donny before chasing fireflies began if Sander didnt get his shit together (I love Sander but hmm which side OCs would Donny get outside of Trenderam and Sander if they are all occupied).

If Thea is a guy (Theodore) maybe I think Donny would be into him im sure.

Yeah I like the idea where Victor or Jonas or even Chuck or Erik tried to have a shot with Donny it would be interesting thought

Weeell, in Drunken Dare, I took some liberties with their canon kids since I didn't want to create new-ships-exclusive kids that I then would accidentally grow attached too, so I took Cornelia Salene, since she is the only clear legacy of Ares and takes fully after Sam, and changed her other parent; all other Trenderam kids are either Athena, Demeter or in Colly's case Ares and Athena.

I do think that I would have switched around other kids too, like, Mikki is a legacy of Athena so he could have been a Trend/Donny kid instead.

Mh, two options for who Donny would have ended up with, if not Sander.

The original plan - when I made my first draft of Nicercy next gen characters - was for Donny to be dating Luke Chase, since I have a thing for making my next gens of characters who are canon endgame date. So that is a potential option.

And yes, Sam. Sam turned so much more into a character than originally planned, and I adore his dynamic with Donny a lot, I'm fairly sure it would have been Sam/Donny if Sander had been otherwise taken.

Mmmh, if you're asking side characters beyond those five... I do think that Loki Murdock and Donny would have been an interesting match.

Rank your babies: Donner, Sander, Lucas, Theseus, Esperanza

Easier than you may think! xD Thanks for playing!

Donny. My Nicercy boy. So layered (like, he turned out waaay more complex than ever intended xD), I love him

Sander. A good boy, soft sweetheart

Thess. Also a good boy, doing his best to be a good brother

Luke. I leaned more into cliches there

Esperanza. I love her, like most of my OCs (go die in a ditch, Leroy), but... less attachment than to the others

Send me five things (whatever you’d like!) and I’ll rank them!

[takaraphoenix]

Ok, I had this thought and now I'm curious (and I don't remember if it's every been talked about before). In a God!AU where Percy and Nico are both gods, what would their children be there gods/goddesses of?

lol ask the hard questions, why don’t you? xD

Bianca Maria: would not become a goddess; joins the hunt before godly powers manifest (I headcanon that gods... find... their realms as like teens. Since Hades and the others got their realms after literally rolling the dice on them so it’s not something you’re inherently born with)

Hades Poseidon: nature/spring god, working under Demeter

Sally Persephone: minor death goddess

Theseus Paul: oh Thess would definitely be a fresh-water deity

James Charles: minor magic god

Laura Silena: minor beauty goddess, working under Aphrodite

Jackson Tyson: minor trickster god, working under Hermes

Hazel Pandora: vengeance goddess

[takaraphoenix]

Donny?

Ooh. Thanks for asking!

favorite thing about them: That he’s a very soft boy?? Like, I wanted him to be a pure badass at first, but then I just wanted him to be... soft.

least favorite thing about them: That he was so busy being a coward for years. I mean, yeah, sure, his anxiety and depression and his fear to not living up to his parents led to that, but come on, boy, don’t just hide in a corner! You’re the son of Percy Jackson!

favorite line: ...I don’t... I don’t remember what I write that thoroughly I’m sorry xD”

brOTP: Thea Chase!

OTP: Sander Rodriguez

nOTP: Uuuuhm. I’ve never really thought of that? I guess any girl, considering he’s gay

random headcanon: Uuuuhm in an alternate universe where he wouldn’t have ended up with Sander, he’d be with Sam

unpopular opinion: I’m his creator. I... Do I have... are there... what would... I am very confused by this right now xD”

song i associate with them: Yeah no I got nothing xD

Hi sorry to bug you but I’m searching for one of your fics and can’t remember the name for the life of me. It had Percy and Nico as single fathers pining after each other but both thinking the other had a wife. Percy had Sam, Trend, and Derek, while Nico had Bianca Maria and Donny. It was from a pretty long time ago tho, thanks for taking the time to read this and write all your awesome fanfics!

Only fic I can think of that fits that would be Fated Family, but I have no recollection of them thinking the other is married. ^^

[takaraphoenix]

What would be the fatal flaws of some of your pjo next gen?? I kinda forgot that those fatal flaws were a thing but now im reminded my first reaction is to wonder about your next gen haha

Urgh. Don’t remind me that those are a thing. One of Riordan’s big missteps, in my opinion. It is so limiting in the characters’ individual personality and cuts into their agency with the “Well this isn’t something of yours, it’s a thing all kids of your godly parent do”. Cookie-cutter cheat-sheet for character design.

Not to mention it... doesn’t make a lot of sense. Poseidons’ kids’ fatal flaw is loyalty? Sure. Suuure, that’s why Ariadne is now married to Dionysus, because those Poseidon-kids are so loyal and would never abandon their lovers. Yep.

Sooo, yeah no. No fatal flaw. They individually have their weaknesses, but a weakness is a little different than something as overly dramatic as a fatal flaw.

For Derek, it’s his arrogance. For Donny, it’s his lack of self-esteem, even though he spents the whole story overcoming it slowly. For Sander, it’s that he thinks he has to be able to do everything.

i!!!! am also a big fan of A-Z with the di angelos and i like prom queen as well i like seeing donny/sander aged up i think they’re super cute

*giggles* Thank you! Love for my next gen always makes me particularly happy and particularly guilty for not writing them as often as I should. ^-^

[takaraphoenix]

Rereading “Written in the Stars”, because I actually figured a proper timeline out for it and gotta align the stuff I’ve written to fit it, makes me realize just how much I seem to be channeling my Nicercy Next Gen into them...

Mike Maguire is so much like Sander Rodriguez. The loyal, trustworthy, heroic, honest puppy, who loves so very fiercely and deeply. Even their dynamic to to their respective older sister is rather similar.

I gave Matt di Girasole a rather distinctively Donny di Angelo vibe. The slightly mischievous but kind-hearted, hard-working, head-strong but composed boy.

And with Jamie St. John, I kinda did it on purpose to let some Sam Raser bleed into it. The fierce, strong murder-kitten who is Very Soft on the inside though and is trying to deal with a trauma of the past. Also, Irish.

I mean, I’m only eight chapters into this story and I know that once the story grows and the characters grow more, they’ll distinct themselves more and more from the basis structure I took when first building them up. The same had happened with my next gen too, after all. At the beginning of "Chasing Fireflies”, they were vastly different characters than who they had come into after the plot thickened and they got to evolve and I got to explore their respective dynamics more. (Seriously, Sam did such a 180° in CF, it really did give me whiplash...)

But yeah... it kinda reads like Sander/Donny/Sam a bit lot... *frowns at self*

//Random, because I found it curious to see the parallels in my writing there.

[takaraphoenix]

ookay since we’re talking cf ocs and the avengers who do you think is who? i.e if sander is like thor who are the rest of them/ any other of your ocs like?

Shesh. Ask the hard questions why don’t you? *laughs*

But no, Sander is not Thor.

Sander Rodriguez: Steve Rogers. Yeeeah, definitely. Definitely not MCU. More like AA. You know, the real Cap. That’s the kinda person Sander is too.

Sam Raser: Bucky Barnes. Sander’s trusted best friend, military training, gone through some trauma that really changed him.

Trend Austin: Stephen Strange. Character-wise. Not so much the powers, though… genius doctor? Yeah. That also applies.

Derek Rhys: LOKI LOKI LOKI. Definitely Loki. So much Loki all up in that Derek.

Marshall Mikaelson: Bruce Banner? Maybe? The calm, quiet voice of reason, brilliant mind, but still mostly asked for to be the muscles…

Sara Mers: I find her hard. She’s a bit a combination of Darcy Lewis and Pepper Potts, maybe. The unassuming redhead who really hands a villain his ass when prompted but is otherwise in nature more a Darcy.

Nico Zhang: The child of Clint Barton and Tony Stark. Genius tinkerer who talks too much, mischievous archer who also talks too much.

Herc Grace: Now, he’d be Thor. Not just because of the lightning-powers, but also this… son of the greatest Roman hero of their time, carrying the burden of trying to live up to that vs being the son of King Odin. Generally gentle and friendly in nature and a big softy at heart though!

Thea Chase: Jane Foster. She’s more for the genius part than the actual fighting, but when push comes to shove, she can go all out Lady Thor on your ass too.

Donny di Angelo: HE IS THE HARDEST. I think maybe Vision? “Created” with the best of them all - you know, having both Nico’s and Percy’s powers but also the blessing of Persephone. Not very good at the whole social stuff. Super powerful, but also inherently good. Honestly. It’s a far reach, but I can’t find another Marvel character who’d fit Donny…

Bianca Maria di Angelo: Natasha Romanova, yeah. This one came easy.

Cally Rodriguez: Carol Danvers, definitely. Also an easy call, really.

Bonus; Jack di Angelo: Peter Parker.

[takaraphoenix]

Found this old sketch (...two years or so? Maybe three?) and figured that since interest in my next gen is here, some of you might enjoy the sketch.

Upper left corner is Jack di Angelo together with his bunny Poker.

Next to him, Sam Raser with a rose he most likely got from Derek.

Lower low starts off with Eli Raser in his prom dress.

In the right corner, Donny di Angelo on a flower swing because why the heck not.

Aaand in the middle... Hazel Pandora di Angelo. About half an hour before her death. Yeah, those sketches were made when I was outlining the story of her death. She has really wild dark curls and the scars over her eye make her heterochromia... uh... pop even more...? *winces* And no, I never actually figured out a good angle about details of how her story ends, hence the me never having actually written it down. I know what’s gonna happen, roughly. But I’ve never really been happy with the details. Scrapped and rewrote it about half a dozen times.

[takaraphoenix]

Sonny + mortals?-

*frowns* That’s a peculiar one.

They are mortal, in the sense that they can die - never really understood why PJatO terminology calls the muggle/mundie people mortals considering demigods are just as mortal - but Donny in particular is very aware of that mortality. After all, he has regular contact with his immortal grandparents.

Sander, he sometimes envies the regular mortals. The ones without sight. He wonders what it’d be like to live a normal life without the constant danger of dying. A life where their sisters wouldn’t have joined an immortal hunting party.

Mainly though, Sander loves being a hero and protecting the innocent.

[takaraphoenix]

Whilst there isn’t anything on your schedule for it as far as I can tell, do you have any current plans to write more for your Chasing-Verse 2nd gen? (That’s what they’re called right?)

Yeah, Chasingverse ;)

And no… I do not have any current plans for it. I’m waiting for @kimmycup to read it this summer and get me back into my own universe. She is hiiighly motivating and I really need someone to help me keep my facts straight - I just don’t have the time to reread all 800k+ words of Chasingverse�� holy shit that thing is way too long… xD”

So, yeah, once she reads it and starts poking me about more and helps me keep my facts straight - but totally nooo pressure. ;DDD

[takaraphoenix]

And I'm hoping to be the first to tick that one off: Nicercy ;)

You aaare the first.

Chocolate or flowers? Oh, both. Nico loves to romance his Percy. Blue roses everywhere. I mean, it is the anniversary of their engagement.

Who does the grand gestures, who prefers subtle affection? They both like grand gestures. They kinda try to best each other and see it as a competition. All the flowers, all the chocolates, a trip somewhere, expensive food, kinky sex. One always has a surprise up their sleeve.

Do they go out, or stay in for a cozy date? Both. First cozy morning together, then going out for a date and dinner and then returning home for the, ah, climax of the day.

Most memorable Valentine’s Day? Their engagement, definitely. Visiting a literal fairy tale castle and then proposing.

Valentine’s Day married/as a family? It’s a mess. I mean, they literally have seven children. It becomes harder sneaking out because little Jackson loves giving them the puppy-eyes that guilt-trip them into family days. But that’s just life at the di Angelos. Family cuddles in the morning, Theseus making pancakes for the whole family and then, mostly, the older kids have mercy on their parents and distract Jackie so Percy and Nico can get some alone-time

[takaraphoenix]

I really miss the nicercy next gen stuff, everyone just kinda stopped asking about it during ask games it seems which sucks because i love it SO MUCH!!!

Mh, me too. But then again, I do get fewer asks during the ask games in general so it figures that the next gen stuff would go back too. But you know, you can always ask me anything, outside of ask games too. So, if there’s something you wanna know or hear about, just shoot me an ask, you don’t have to wait for someone else to ask. ;)
