no bc the way i perceive pjo!nico, hoo!nico and toa!nico as completely different persons? like having distinct personalities? and i dont mean it as "growth" or "development" but just straight up character inconsistency by rick 💀. idk i feel like pjo (specifically nico in tlo) & toa nico are basically the same which is great, but hoo nico was...... something else. and no it's not bc of his trauma, for me it feels more like rick couldnt manage completely well nico's facets and changes, the way everyone saw him and the way he saw himself, and dont come at me saying that its bc wHen hE's nOt iN DangEr hE's SillY because you can see tlo!nico AND toa!nico making jokes even when in mid dangerous situations, so that wasnt the reason why. the changes in characterization in nico going from pjo to hoo then toa feel not gradual but kind of rushed, piled up
#maybe part of it its bc nico was not one of the protagonists so#rick couldnt really take that much of time specifying every detail of nico's changes and the reason why of them#but it feeks kinda rushed to me#almost drastical#hoo is supposed to be like a bridge between nico's development#going from the beginning of his trauma (pjo) to the overcoming of it (toa)#but nico in hoo practically hit rock bottom and then#somehow ??? then he's magically shown all happy and humorous and all that in toa#AND IT FEELS RUSHED UP#summed up: hoo is the problem <3#rr crit#is that how yall tag these kind of posts?#rick riordan#riordanverse#nico di angelo#pjo#hoo#toa#pjo/hoo#percy jackson#jason grace#piper mclean#leo valdez#hazel levesque#frank zhang#will solace
