#piper and will are also mlm wlw solidarity

[hrts4caiiti]

pov piper comes out to leo and he says "oh shit you like girls? so do i!" then a week later he goes to piper in a panic like "I need to tell you something" and then goes on a rant about how blue Jason's eyes are for five minutes and pipers like I KNEW it

[sapphicashdoom]

It’s to early in the morning for this but I have to get my thoughts out there.

In theory Caleo could have worked but in a completely different way that didn’t give us such a mess of a relationship. In my humble opinion caleo could have worked as a friend ship. As most people know love comes in many forms like familial, friendship, romantic, etc. if Rick really wanted to get calypso off the island they could have made her love Leo in a friend or family way.

I know that the curse says that Leo can’t leave the island unless he falls in love with her but with the way heteronormativity is he could have easily believed he loved her and learned later on that he felt the connection of a friendship/ family bond. Having Leo fall for her and then later on realize he doesn’t actually love her could have given him a much stronger character arc about learning to love himself and actually explore his sexuality. He could have easily gone back for her anyway at the end of BoO anyway if this would have been the case because now not only does he see her as an important friend but it also shows that friendships even without the prospect of romance is is just as valuable. Plus Leo wouldn’t be the type to just abandon someone if he lost romantic interests, it’s showed time and time again that he really values his friendship with the seven especially piper and Jason,

Honesty having him get with calypso to me reads like he is avoiding dealing with his personal stuff in favor of just forgetting all of his worries and issues because now he has a pretty gf. Having him jump into a relationship with someone he barely knows really just cuts whatever interesting thing that could have been done with Leo.

And even tho I love valgrace Leo doesn’t even need to end up with Jason by the end. Just having Leo learn to love himself or explore a new side to himself or allowing him to explore his sexuality would have been really interesting honestly. I found piper’s story on realizing she like girls similarly interesting but I wish we could have seen it developed more. Plus it would have been awesome to see WLW and MLM solidarity portrayed well if that was the case. Idk I’m probably just rambling because I genuinely don’t like caleo and I wish they could have done something more interesting with the concept of calypso getting off her island and Leo exploring himself.

Not only that but it could have give Rick the opportunity to expand on calypso that wasn’t just “I live on this island alone and I fall in love with guys a lot” he could have built on her resentment of being on the island or could have expanded on her and given her more than just her base personality. Hell calypso could have been great aro/ace or Cupid-asexual representation would have been amazing !!

For me Leo is a personal comfort character because he is Latino and I related to him a lot and with my experience with being a Latina lesbian dealing with heteronormativity. I was trying to void thinking about being a lesbian back then that I often just kept jumping from romantic crush on random dudes to other random dudes. Maybe I’m just projecting but honestly I wish they could have done more. Representation is important and I think that having Leo expanded on besides “he goes back for his gf who he barely has any chemistry with” would have been awesome

Sadly we didn’t get that and I’ll forever be forced to have valgrace/ Leo brain rot all the time

[creativitystrides]

feed me with your favourite pjo hcs

Leo is actually ace, that is what he and calypso constantly fight. Because please, we all know he and calypso are a dumpster fire.

Also, Camp Jupiter already knew about Jason before he showed up because other kids saw him while they were with Lupa

Jason didn’t know his actual last name until Hera/Juno kidnapped him. Juno put the knowledge into his head and Jason feels weird when he introduces himself by Jason Grace

Jason and piper are mlm wlw solidarity, they were just both tricked into thinking they were straight bc of hera (but they’re platonic soulmates tbh)

Leo is autistic and his special interest is mechanics/engineering/building stuff

Jason and frank have some leftover wolfy habits from training / being raised in The Wolf House by Lupa (mainly accidentally growling or baring their teeth at people)

This is actually canon but not talked abt enough: leo and nico slip back into their native languages when they’re stressed (spanish and italian)

Leo and annabeth talk in morse code sometimes when talking out loud feels like too much. they’re also really good friends and often go to each other for help on their designs / schematics

Nico argues that animals hate him because he ‘smells like death’. Mr. D Points out that Mrs O’Leary doesn’t hate him. 

Will was practically a demigod gifted kid, he quickly got the handle of being a medic and he was rarely seen away from Michael Yew's side.

[piperslovebot]

I see Jasper and Piper as mlm/wlw solidarity and the lesbian-bi himbo duo, but I also see them as a bi4bi ship if that makes sense lmao.

[were-wolverine]

have some random pjo / hoo hcs

- percy is polynesian (his dad) and hispanic (his mom)

- nico is portuguese (along with being italian obvi)

- nico goes partially mute after bianca dies and learns sign language to communicate (ASL along with Greek Sign)

- jason is socially inept bc most of his childhood was spent being raised/trained by literal wolves (basically he’s just really socially awkward)

- jason and piper are mlm wlw solidarity, they were just both tricked into thinking they were straight bc of hera (but they’re platonic soulmates tbh)

- annabeth always smells like old books, fresh ink and olives

- leo is autistic and his special interest is mechanics/engineering/building stuff

- hazel was born in 1928 in new orleans, she has a 1920’s southern accent

- frank has a canadian accent

- leo has a southern (texan) accent

- frank & hazel and nico & will go on double dates (hazel and will suggest it and frank and nico can’t say no to them)

- jason and frank have some leftover wolfy habits from training / being raised in The Wolf House by Lupa (mainly accidentally growling or baring their teeth at people)

- leo annabeth and jason also know ASL (leo goes selectively mute, annabeth just loves learning languages and finds it useful, and jason finds it easier to communicate that way sometimes)

- this is actually canon but not talked abt enough: leo and nico slip back into their native languages when they’re stressed (spanish and italian)

- leo and nico become best friends i take no criticism

- piper hazel and frank all know french so they sometimes just gossip in french abt other ppl

- jason and nico are also best friends (but they have more of a brotherly bond type of friendship)

- after leo saves calypso she leaves to go explore the world and instead jason takes her place dating leo and going to high school together in indiana :] (sorry but i kinda fucking hate calypso for cursing percabeth in tartarus)

valgrace my loves <3

- leo and annabeth talk in morse code sometimes when talking out loud feels like too much. they’re also really good friends and often go to each other for help on their designs / schematics

- leo makes a bunch of fidget toys for himself and his siblings / friends (cuz they literally all have adhd lmao)

uhhh that’s all for now i’ll probably make a part 2

[everyurlithinkofistoolong]

Actually Jason is canonically bisexual and he planned to come out to his friends but Juno took him and completely wiped his memory so he never was able to. Also it was only until after all the Gaia bs that he actually had the space and time to think about his identity and feelings for nico + piper's own issues so that put a strain on their relationship. Anyways Jason never died and him and Piper came out to each other and are now mlm wlw solidarity. Also jasico is canon. Do you see the vision or

[owo-shenanigans]

wait hi i saw ur pjo requests were open can i ask for a nico x reader platonic and they’re just mlm and wlw solidarity maybe and perhaps reader has a crush on annabeth or piper

I love this idea so fucking much omg (also this is an au where Bianca doesn’t join the hunters and die bc canonically. He’s barely at the camp)

Nico having MLM WLW solidarity with reader (PLATONIC)

You just kind of sit beside him and say, “So…. Percy and Annabeth, huh?”

He rambles about how cool and awesome and amazing and cool Percy is for ten minutes, with a few hastily added but still genuine comments about how Annabeth is fairly nice and smart.

“So- uh, what do- you think about them?” He stammers out once he’s done, trying to direct the attention off of himself.

And you proceed to talk about how pretty and amazing and wonderful Annabeth is and you wish you could talk to her but every time you try you just get so tongue twisted and can barely stammer out a hello-

You two don’t exactly become friends, not yet, but when your activities line up you can usually be found hanging out and gossiping about what’s been happening at camp. He’s a lovable kid that gives off serious little brother energy, so people aren’t quite as sealed with their secrets as they should be when he’s around. As long as you don’t spread it around, he likes talking to you!

Honestly, the moment you two seriously bonded is when Percy and Annabeth officially got together. You’d known that they were really into each other, yes, but seeing them kiss under the watery surface cracked your heart. The two of you cried under your bunk for an hour, demolishing a box of tissues and three trays of snacks Bianca brought over once she heard what the issue was.

After that you two were almost bonded at the hip. You both helped each other get over your crushes and started hanging out outside of activities as well.

Once you hit 16 and puberty started hitting y’all HARD, you started taking trips out of camp together, officially to deliver packages too big for Iris’ delivery service, but really to people watch people who you hadn’t grown up with and seen with drool tracks on their faces in the mornings their cabin had been too late to get into the bathrooms before breakfast. People were a lot more attractive when you didn’t spend years living with them, you both found out.

Nico is a lot quieter about it, half his formative years having been during the 40’s keeping him from being open about his attraction to men. You try and make an effort to stay on the downlow too- you hate making him uncomfortable.

When Piper came crashing down in that chariot, you could feel your heart doing ten flipflops as she got thrown onto shore. Eagerly offering to show her around, you ignored Nico’s snickering. Piper was polite, if heavily confused, and you were down BAD. You took revenge on Nico’s kissy faces by throwing your arms around him and his crush and loudly asking if they were dating, refusing to take a hint with a shit eating grin on your face.

[nightshade-anura]

but what what if it was piper instead of jason in the cupid scene not only for mlm/wlw solidarity but also bc piper has so much disdain for percy so she's just like '"OF ALL THE BOYS-"

[mayoiayasep]

leo valdez!

boy of the year

-favorite thing about them

he's very mecore, like 9 year old me saw this adhd poc boy and imprinted on him for over 4 years

-least favorite thing about them

the way his arc ends?? like there are other ways to show he can be loved without romance

-favorite line

the way i was about to start quoting north, uhhhh the celebration cheer that he did when he made it back to calypso's island after he "died" i could not for the life of me tell you the actual quote rn

-brOTP

him and piper, they are best friends they are siblings they are mlm wlw solidarity

-OTP

do not have one at the moment<3

-nOTP

also dont have one, but i am a bit more iffy on caleo than i was when i first read the books

-random headcanon

i think embroidery would be good for him actually

-unpopular opinion

uh. leo did not deserve the punch line in toa

-song i associate with them

my songs know what you did in the dark by fall out boy, there was a amv on youtube and i was obssessed with it for a while

-favorite picture of them

i refuse to believe any of the rick riordan offical art exists<3

ask game link

[lunarrumor]

i'm just,,, having a lot of thoughts abt pipeyna rn. i don't know what it is about them that makes me so happy but,,,,

strong pretty girl + her even stronger beautiful buff gf. two very powerful women, and hair braiding

i remember first seeing reyna and piper interact, immediately looking up fanfiction for them and finding an empty hole where the good wlw content should be

they deserve more love,,,,,, and i will now be reblogging lots and lots of pipeyna content to show them this love so prepare

it's just such a beautiful way to solve the weirdass love triangle with jason

picture them bonding over dating jason,,, being like 'haha yeah remember when jason was our beard? good times. we were both in a comphet relationship with that dork'

then jason realises he's gay and they're like 'hmm look at that'

some great wlw / mlm solidarity there

AND may i add,,,, valgrace + pipeyna double dates

just imagine. they would have such a good friendship

(OR JASICO THAT COULD WORK TOO)

but also i just want the lost trio + reyna hangouts i think it would be so fun

truly a crime how little reyna we got in the books (i mean,,, we did get a whole reyna pov but i wanted to see her interact with other characters !!!! i love the reyna and nico sibling relationship but i also wanted jeyna closure and justice for their friendship)

anyway im just saying,, there's such a good dynamic there to be explored .... very reminiscent of valgraces dynamic too (uptight, buff, smart one + impulsive, wild, relaxed one) which i think is why i probably like them both

[ethannku]

3 and 4 for the ask game?

answered 3 already, so heres 4:

4. your favourite romantic relationship?

well, its a tie between solangelo and valgrace, but since solangelo has more support i’m gonna say valgrace. i just think that jason and leo are two obviously queer men and them being together wouldve been a lot better thematically than piper and jason and calypso and leo. also can you just imagine disaster gay jason and cool bisexual leo? because i very much can. also also is jiper/jasper/whatever their ship name is still got together and broke up, it wouldve been amazing mlm/wlw solidarity lmao

send me pjo asks

[bunkernine]

idk if you’ve done this alr but if u haven’t then 17 & 25 😸

STOOOOOPPPP you knew where this was going to lead 😤

#17 - instead of xyz happening, i would have made abc happen? // #25 - how would you end xxx/ would you change the ending of xxx?

😤 this is only ONE of the ways pjo/hoo could've changed. some of this has already been said but i can now put it in a timeline. fair warning, i did get a little loopy when writing this tho:

starting with pjo 🤔 let's introduce bianca and nico (age 10) in tlt. here they're left as "unclaimed" and grover panics and sends them to camp

as a result, they get claimed in ttc like normal, but they're a regular part of camp, so B's death hits harder, and everyone is hit harder when nico disappears in frustration

this also follows with luke's point of "why didn't they get claimed earlier? they've been here all along?" and percy still recognizes that the prophecy could fall into them. additionally, bianca has a bit of training 😭 not that it would help, but i am in love with the idea of kids going "hey that's bianca and nico! they're so cool" "i heard they turned out to be hades kids 😳" "what? that's so cool because them being hades kids doesn't influence their personality and isn't a reason to kick them away!"

additionally, introduce charles in tlt as one of the kids that percy meets. might not be a counselor, but it's cool to see that percy watches his friends become counselors and die lol

have a side book between botl and tlo where you get stories about percy trying to be normal, and then some stories about chb without him. maybe a story with luke, but not a diary entry

anyway, percabeth doesn't get together in tlo but maybe they do in hoh. let percy and rachel date a bit maybe, they're literally high schoolers 🤧

after tlo, there's a book with the pov of some girl we don't know yet 🤔 she's probably a demigod and we're thinking 'oh man how's she going to get to chb?' she meets these dudes and goes to this camp and that's how we find out about reyna, jason, and octavian at age 11, and spqr

anyway tlh takes place like 4 years later. here's some junk about tlh if you want specific changes, but it's literally a really fun book already

have piper or leo be one of the kids who were on the titans side with luke, and now come over. it doesn't really matter who, but the point is made and the connection is established. everytime annabeth looks at them, she shivers 🤔 imo, leo works better for isolation, loneliness, abandonment, but piper would be SICK with her insane charmspeak and feelings of being different

something important to mention is that because of jason's death in tlh, he loses some his memories and he can't get it back

obviously 🙄 pipeyna and valgrace is endgame to please the masses

son is fine too i think, i dunno, fuck frazel tho

skip to moa 🤔 percy and annabeth are now older than the rest and act as leaders and mentors 🤔 i think in this strand of changes im fine with a 7 instead of the obvious 5 🙄 so it's chill

anna and percy don't get pov's but reyna does back in cj where the romans prepare for war... annabeth gave me a good pov, but we're gonna have to let her go 😔

coach hedge heads to chb after hearing about how romans might want to attack and he wants to "join the fight and punch someone" 😑 (also there's little reason for him to stay, but u can read this too if u want more explanation) he just IM's and gives semi-decent advice

i can literally see hedge saying something and then after they say bye and swipe away the message, annabeth immediately says "don't do that. don't do what he just said."

when romans attack in charleston, that's when reyna links up with the 7 and she listens to them. reyna goes on the moa quest instead. nico bumps into her on accident and helps 😌 they still have the mlm/wlw solidarity they already had haha

annabeth and percy still fall in tartarus in place of reyna because why not 💀 as a result, reyna has crazy guilt when she takes the statue back to chb, and nico and her can talk deep shit but rn they stay on the argo to figure it out

meanwhile, jason is left to lead the rest of the 5, and he is very uncertain now because he doesn't have his mentors, nor can he remember half of his roman leading (not that he even liked that), and he still can't pick a side

insert side book, about random argo nonsense, and some roman stuff (maybe a side story about what jason can't remember). page about what makes piper join luke maybe, or how he found her? wilderness story with her and leo, and how she ended up there. maybe a story about percy and annabeth being in tartarus but it leaves in a total cliffhanger where it seems like they might die. idk they might lol (and it's funny cause u'd turn the page and it's some word search DJSJDJ)

now in hoh, whoever the ex-titan was (piper or leo) they might have some feelings about attacking gaea.

hazel gets her sick ass mist powers ofc 🙄 frank doesn't really need a boost but i don't really care. if he gets it then he can't lose his fat duh

i don't really think leo needs to get sent to calypso 🤔 he can but like, the power of friendship and stuff

since there's no percy/annabeth pov there's no clue as to what's going on. the argo is slowly losing it

oh pssssssh cupid thing was weird plus nico is like 17/18 and about to head off with reyna. he could be out already, like it literally doesn't need to happen 😭 idk he IM's will and hazel walks in like 😳 cause sibling moment also, people stuck outside their time moment

so they find percy and annabeth thanks to jason's mad skillz, and they save them and oh man they still gotta prepare for the next book 💀

so we're in boo. i think jason should get stabbed again by michael varus. it was fun. it really added to his 'am i greek or no' dilemma.

reyna and nico do what they did in boo actually but hedge isn't there. literally that part is left unchanged 💀

the rest of them move forward. annabeth's ankle is permanently damaged and percy and annie don't look like they're doing too well, (ptsd from hell duh but also. just life man. being a demigod is hard and they went through all this crap just now despite them being like, 20? WACK)

uhhhh boo isn't that memorable so I'm gonna assume that most of the book is good! they ask about tartarus but no one explains it. the 5 are kinda closer now. hedge sends weird IM's lol

anyway final battle. i think jason and leo dying together is always fun but you already know that 🥱 they hold hands and say "together?" and then like explode and shit, idk but it will be awful to see these guys grow over the books and then die 🤧

of course, obvs, since leo's whole thing was loneliness and shit he turns to the 7 and is like "ur my family. years ago I lost the only family I had, but I'm willing to lose everything for my family now" and then does his stupid thing

i think frank should turn into a dragon, i think that would be cool, i think the mars blessing should let him turn into monster-animals too, that would be sick. turns into a pegasus and hazel or percy rides to battle. wild, this ain't really relevant to the story i just think it's cool

anyway annabeth freezes in battle cause she thinks about luke and fighting as a kid, and at some point piper saves her (i made up my mind that piper is the ex-luke fan) and annabeth is still unsettled but carries on, but she remembers that they're all just kids and that piper was pretty young when she joined luke and piper's real cool now man

gaea raises ig, they fight blah blah, good guys win but I think someone should get seriously injured 😑 i just can't say who. i mean like jason and leo are dead dead but i would enjoy an injury u feel

here are some little things i didn't know where to add:

hazel should maybe a bit scared of death and gets through it along the way. or at least be claustrophobic

i think leo should learn to accept his fire gradually

frank's stick should be like. at maximum danger half of the time, like dude, he is so wary

also there should be some point where he leads a quest actually

there's an inside joke running through the 3-books of moa/hoh/boo between the crew. dunno, it's something stupid tho!

octavian wasnt even a villain so i think reynas pov in moa would give some insight to that!!!

idk if we even need percy to switch over to spqr, i mean if they just got jason randomly, they still gotta return the kid and head to spqr 🤔 can reyna do the son quest instead

idk piper gets a gun, that stupid ass cornucopia haunts me, what was she supposed to do with that

percy/annie actually train the kiddos, but have little private talks on the side like "is this our life? do we like this? do we want to do this? it's exhausting isn't it"

nico can have a cane too

this is dumb cause they wouldn't even need it but I like the idea of them having cell phones and social media, it's so funny to me

anyway, thats only one rewrite, i smashed a bunch of ideas, hope that helps, but there's like a million more things i can say or a million other ideas to have!!! thanks for reading 💀

[elephants-are-cool]

both the jesper inej brotp and the leo piper brotp give the exact same vibes

piper and inej both have purple vibes, leo and jesper both have purple vibes, both duos hang around with an edgy white boy they’ve all had a crush on at one point in their lives and which they very much regret, jesper/leo probably design elaborate and/or ornate knives for inej/piper, jesper and inej are bi-bi solitary and leo and piper are mlm-wlw/bi-bi solidarity, they’re all teens around roughly the same ages (15-16 and 17), they all hanged out in groups of 7 when trying to save the world, they have similar hairstyles, piper and inej would not hesitate to stab you, soft and emotional yet also incredibly badass, they think of their proverbs and ancients tales and folklore for comfort, they will risk everything to help those they care about, use knives as their main weapon and take comfort in them, and are drawn to them, they have knives with names and special meanings and symbolisms, and their best friends with the jesper/leo, jesper and leo are bi finger guns, the jokester and prankster, flirts with everyone, wears a joking couldn’t care less facade, both have ADHD, both show actual symptoms of ADHD, both have mechanical powers that at one point in their lives terrified them and that they have to slowly learn to accept if they want to save the world, and they grieve a dead mother whose death emotionally traumatised them and started their fear of their powers, leo would be a fabrikator and jesper would be a son of hephaestus ngl, both friends with the curly haired smart white girl who likes waffles and are best friends with the inej/piper person of the group.

nevermind giving the same vibes they’re fucking parallels. holy shit someone *needs* to write a crossover fanfic or fanart or something.

[takaraphoenix]

For the ask game, Annabeth Chase?

Thanks for playing! ^^

How I feel about this character:

Also very conflicted. I think conceptually she is a very interesting idea and the version of Annabeth Chase that lives in my head rent-free is a character I love very much, but I also acknowledge that she has very little to do with the canon version of her character, because the way she treats Percy alone is honestly enough to make me greatly dislike her. But since I want her around, I got Annabeth 2.0 living in my head and my fics.

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

Reyna!

Piper!

Bianca

Rachel

My brOTP for this character:

Percy! Their friendship is very important to me. wlw and mlm solidarity.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

The way she treats Percy is shit. And abusive. But you’ll deadass have weirdos in this fandom that go “well you gave TWO detailed examples of where she canonically used physical violence against him to punish him that that’s nOt AbUsE you need x quota per book to make it aCtUaL aBuSe!!!111!”... like y’all are for real, huh? If a partner uses physical violence to punish their partner for displeasing him, that is domestic abuse. Especially when it doesn’t occure as one isolated incident. The fact that Riordan went outta his way to include it not once but twice is already hella fucking wild, why y’all want more explicitely in the text, why y’all gotta twist the meaning of abuse to a quota and shit just because you can’T live with the fact that just maybe that fictional ship you like may not be as healthy and morally upstanding an example of a real relationship as you’d want it, it’s fine, it’s fucking fiction you do you if that does it for you, good for you, you can still ship and stan it or whatever but don’t come into my house when I say “this is the line that I draw for myself and that makes a fictional relationship unenjoyable for me” and demanding a quota of how often she has to punch him for it to count as abuse, y’all are wild .... :D”

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

I wish she had gotten to be... her own character... in HoO instead of just Percy’s GirlfriendTM. Seriously they put the daughter of Athena in there and didn’t let her do one (1) wise/clever thing on her own, even beating Arachne she only managed because of an idea Frank gave her. Let the clever girl be actually clever and come up with the clever solutions on herself and let her be more than just the token girlfriend!

Give me a character and I’ll break their ass down

completely genuine question why do you not like solangelo. all your opinions about jason are correct btw

Lololol thanks <333

Let me preface this by saying that if you like sol/angelo that's fine and dandy. I'm not saying that ppl who like it have bad taste or are dumb in any way. So this isn't an attack on anyone, just my personal opinion! Also I'm a jas/ico shipper and I genuinely think they should have been endgame so obviously I'm biased and I admit to that 100%.

In my opinion, there really there isn't anything inherently wrong with sol/angelo, I just think it's boring? Rick has a horrible habit of pairing up literally everyone with a few notable exceptions (Reyna, Thalia, etc). Hell, he paired up Leo with Calypso (which is another ship I dislike). Obviously I exaggerate my dislike for the ship sometimes for comedic effect but really I just feel so apathetic to it.

Rick brings back this side character from pjo to randomly pair Nico up with in the last book of HOO and I just don't see the chemistry really. And the little I've seen of their interactions post HOO it seems like Rick is going for the "Nico is sooo broken but good thing he has a healer sunshine boyfriend now 💓💝!! Light and darkness isn't that cute??"

And I'm just like... Yeah but where is the chemistry. Idk maybe I shouldnt expect too much from a relationship between two 15 year olds but... Jas/ico really had much more going for it in terms of potential. They are complete opposites. They both struggle to find a home/family. They both had expectations placed upon them based on their heritage. They both lost their older sisters in some way. They both had a strong theme of loneliness and isolation, but manifested in different ways. Also Rick has no clue he strongly bi-coded Jason and it would have been so satisfying if we saw both of them come to terms with their sexuality in two different ways that encapsulated how lgbt people are often treated in media. Jason, who started the books with no clear memories/ sense of identity and quickly got into a doomed to fail het relationship literally set up by the goddess of marriage, a commentary on heteronormativity (which was the arc Piper got instead... We could have had wlw mlm solidarity jas/iper guys). Nico, a gay boy from the 1940s, had a one sided crush on straight as a rod Percy... Like man it was all there.

I can't really talk about why I dislike about sol/angelo without going off about the missed potential of jas/ico because really my beef isn't with sol/angelo itself or will sol/ace (I genuinely Do Not Care about him), its mostly with how there could have been so much more to it and there isn't.

But! I genuinely hope sol/angelo shippers get everything they could ever want from the new book! My beef is with Ricky.
