...Can i perhaps see the bingo you are referring to 👀

This is my bingo chart (unchecked so nobody has to worry about spoilers):

and then i made a thing so you can randomly generate your own bingo card based off prompts the TA Server came up with, which is [here]. I'll reblog that post again tomorrow for folks when people are actually awake.

based off of @rainnows bran muffin di angelo au which i have constantly in my brain

no :)

“Yes,” Nico told him, because it was easier than trying to explain why he no longer felt comfortable sharing a bed with Will, or even being in the same room with him when Will started changing into his pajamas. 

hi allison :)

send words!!

Okay I was playing roblox earlier and was thinking of asking about Red or all the rainbow friends in the game Arctic Expedition, but then I saw pocket meeb and red and now I also am thinking about Red being a father to Meeb

so technically Red did make Meeb and Deeb come to life on accident he did when he was doing an experiment to make a new rainbow friend.

and you know how it is. When a newborn sees the first person they see, it becomes their mama. But this doesn't really work with the other rainbow friends since they were created with an adult type of mindset. So they don't see Red as their mama/papa/sibling, they see Red as a friend or something else (also they're all not related in my AU btw if ur asking)

I can't believe I forgot to take pictures of my pride ghosts that I finished

The thorns of the briar Queen warhammer underworlds set, rose bushes from leadbear.

I think I'm getting better at the photography part of this

Anyway happy pride month, because every month is pride when you want it to be🏳️‍🌈.

7. :) i know you have a lot of fandoms that arent pjo and you can apply it to whatever you want

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because of how the fandom acts around them?

Hi Im sorry this took me so long to answer, I wanted to sleep on it lol because I didnt want to forget all the characters Ive hated 😔

So the funny thing is that nine times out of ten, the way the fanon treats a character will make me like them more. Pepper Potts from the MCU is a good example of this because her canon portrayal gives off these weird girlboss vibes and I really dont like her relationship with Tony, but in a lot of fanfic featuring Pepper, her girlboss aura gets toned down more into the way less annoying boss aura, and her relationship with Tony tends to feel more natural to me. Then there's characters like Lisa Braeden from Supernatural who get used as a cake-faced villain to destiel which is just super unfair and reeks of "not like other girls" yknow.

Mary Winchester from Supernatural is a hard character for me to hate. I don't like her on the show, I don't like that they brought her back, I don't like what they did with her. She was Sam and Dean's mom but she never acts like she cares about them (like there's this whole arc where she ghosts them for weeks on end). And it bothers me when people say Mary was this like really good mom because I don't think we ever got to actually see her act as a mom outside of her own weird brain hallucinations.

But then someone starts complaining about Mary in a way that feels a little too weird and I gotta sigh deeply and put on my "defend mary winchester" hat so I can't really hate her too much.

And then there's Meg Masters from Supernatural, who is probably the best answer I can give to this question. Because the thing is, I really don't like her in canon. I thought her old romance thing with Cas was freaking weird and I never liked how the writers seemed to forget all the stuff she did to Sam and Dean in like Seasons 1/2/whenever she first appeared. Like I always forget Meg is a Season 1 character bc she's just so inexlicably different in that season versus when all the Cas romance stuff happens. Anyway, people will sometimes treat Meg in fanon like she was the only person looking out for Castiel's best interests which like. Isnt true. Like Im really not convinced that thats true. Like obviously Dean has done Cas dirty plenty of times, but when Meg was sent to watch over Cas in the hospital when his brain wasn't right, do you really think that was purely for Cas's sake and she didnt at all see it as an opportunity to manipulate him/get close to him? Anyway yeah I dislike Meg even more in those potrayals than I dislike canon Meg

Hello!

I've just installed your utilities mod and it would be wonderful... if I wasn't getting water and power outages constantly, multiple times a day--and they end after mere seconds. Its so often its almost as though my lights are flickering. The mod (or the outages) also seems to interfere with autolights which then results in more power consumption... i don't know if i'm the only one having this issue but i love the functionality otherwise!! Your mods add amazing realism!

Hey rainnows!

I updated the Utilities Mod today to fix the frequent outages issue, along with a few other bugs I was made aware of. They should now only have a chance of occurring once a day.

While lights will turn off when a lot loses power it's just a visual element; my mod doesn't count lights as power consuming.

the world can't protect you (not like money will) (1/1)

merry christmas @rainnows!! summary: “I’d like to buy you a drink,” he offered, his voice low, though with the short distance between them, Will could hear him just fine despite the crowded ballroom. “At an open bar?” Will replied, a teasing grin finding its way to his face. “I’m flattered.”  word count: 2,929

read on ao3

If Apollo’s political salary hadn’t been paying for medical school, Will never would’ve done half of the things his father asked of him. He knew that most of his own public appearances in support of the campaign were only because his father was too busy burying another scandal to give his own speech or cut a ribbon, or whatever else he’d asked Will to do in his place. 

At least most of these galas and charity functions had open bars, and usually didn’t interfere too heavily with Will’s class schedule. It was always best when he could drink to his heart’s content and not have to worry about the consequences the next morning. 

And on the off chance that he could catch someone sneaking glances at him from the other end of the bar, well. Things usually only looked up from there.

fic summary: 3k one-shot. Nico loses a bet and gets a makeover from the Aphrodite cabin.

my comment: I love the author’s writing style here, it’s so easy to read it feels like you’re right in the story. and Nico’s characterization is amazing, and I love the Aphrodite children’s depth here. also I just love makeover fics they’re so fun.

To kiss in cars by @lordstormageddidnt  

fic summary: 3k one-shot. AU where Nico goes to his high school reunion where he meets up with Will Solace, who then drives him home.

my comment: this one’s pretty recent but I love it so much!! the characterization is so so good and high school reunions absolutely fascinate me.

i'm a hopeless romantic (you're just hopeless) by @thebhorror

fic summary: 5k one-shot. Nico is such a romantic and in love with Will but refuses to admit it.

my comment: every time I read this fic I’m just thinking <3 the entire time. it’s so sweet!!! Nico being so in love with Will but pretending that everything he does is just normal when he is so down bad... it gets me.

riding shotgun next to your free slurpee by stovetopramen

fic summary: 5k one-shot. future fic with older Nico learning to drive. various scenes where he is in a car.

my comment: insane levels of characterization. the author got possessed by the spirit of Nico. fluffy solangelo, Frank featuring, Nico thinking about Bianca. amazing one-shot.

I don’t know how it gets better than this by @ikeasharksss

fic summary: 6k one-shot. AU where Nico and Will are best friends. set from middle school to high school prom. 5 times Will referenced Taylor Swift and 1 time Nico did.

my comment: I LOVE Will’s complete dorkiness in this. the writing of this is so realistic, it feels like I’m really seeing Nico grow up and into love with Will. so incredibly sweet <3

Come to Me, Unbidden by unfortunate17

fic summary: 8k one-shot. 3 times Nico is an absolute romantic and 1 time Will does something sweet for him in return.

my comment: Nico with poetry is something I now think about SO often. also we get a lot of Will POV in this as well as some Nico POV! gorgeously written and Nico and Will are so absolutely honeymoon sickeningly in love couple here <3

Human too by @ghosttotheparty

fic summary: 11k fic. Nico shows up to camp hurt and Will heals him. and from there they fall in love <3

oh, the whole world, it is sleeping, but my world is you by @thelordofshrimp

fic summary: 20k chaptered fic. 3 days in the infirmary plus the aftermath of Nico and Will pining for each other. pre-solangelo relationship and Nico POV

my comment: I love a good pining fic!! and this one is so sweet <3 it feels very realistic and not like an idealized version of solangelo, which feels especially important when handling the ‘3 days in the infirmary’ trope, and it also addresses some issues in canon. the Will characterization is so good!!

like a dog with a bird at your door by RegretfullyRegretful, aka @marbleheavy

fic summary: 22k non-linear narrative. Nico and Will get married for tax benefits while Nico is head over heels in love with Will. angst ensues.

my comment: again with the pining, though this one is much angstier! I love to see the blorbos suffer. and i love how we get depth for supporting characters too, it feels like though the story is focused on Nico and Will there are so many other characters with just as much of a history.

Safe (better keep that thought to yourself) by @buoyantsaturn

fic summary: 34k fic. Nico is a single parent and meets Will, also a single parent. they begin to coparent their two children and fall in love <3

my comment: the domestic fluff with the ‘i can’t fall in love with him!’ works soo well here. also the children are just so <3 little guys. i will not spoil it but the headcanons are so important and special to me!!

either way / we're not alone by rosyredlipstick

fic summary: 100k chaptered fic. Nico and lost trio are like Mystery inc. Will & friends are like buzzfeed unsolved. Connor & tratie are like a fake hauntings reality show. encounters happen and then all 3 of them meet up at a haunted summer camp. and then shit goes down.

my comment: this fic... it has Nico and lost trio found family. Conchell. Nico and Wil having a complicated relationship. Percy, Annabeth & Grover being badass and experienced. also SPOOKY SHIT. this fic is a monster in so many ways and I love it.

The Sign for Rainbow Rose by gates_of_ember

fic summary: ongoing 100k+ AU where Nico and Will are roommates and best friends. Nico then realizes he’s in love with Will. also a bunch of really cool headcanons <3

my comment: I usually don’t read unfinished fics because I am always scared that they will stay that way but this is one of my favourites ever. Autistic Will AND Nico, fat Will, Latino Will, nonbinary Nico, trans Will; so many of my favourite headcanons all in one fic!! add some slow-burn mutual pining and I am sold.

[thelordofshrimp]
