#villain nico

[yonemurishiroku]

An Older Nico who comes back to the past after wreaking havoc in his original timeline tho.

The guy's nice. He helps them. He's powerful. He's soft for his younger self and he adores Hazel all the same.

But then they see his sword brimming with godly essences; his aura sometimes turns slightly red at the edges. He has a vial of fire - from Hephaestus' forge, Leo said - that he doused Clytius with. A pair of winged shoes enabled him to cut off Cupid's wings after Young Nico's forced to come out. When he brakes off Jason and Percy's fight, he can redirect Jason's bolts and Percy thinks the pearls that the older man uses to defend against his water are familiar. Maybe he saw it in Poseidon's palace.

They're just gifts, he said. But they don't look like it, especially when Annabeth finds a shatter of her mother's shield amongst the future Nico's possession.

It's only much, much later when they realize that those are the takings of his fight against their godly parents where - or when - the older Nico comes from.

Still don’t understand how come Nico didn’t become an antagonist.

Like. What kind of kindness you must possess to still remain with the light despite having shouldered everything above? It’s surreal, really.

The only other option is a crush. A fucking crush. A hero crush or something. Hell. I have been taught that love can be extremely cold once twisted, and look what Nico did for an affection over which he antagonized himself.

seriously? If it was me I’d probably just flood the Camp with zombies and then turn into mush and die. sort of. Love be damned. I’m selfish. I know.

Nico is just too kind.

everyone always talks about dark!percy but not dark!nico. its so annoying tbh

nico has the best potential for a villain.

motive? several. bitterness of unreciprocated love. anger and frustration and feeling of betrayal after biancas death.

also, nicos fatal flaw is literally holding grudges.

there was nothing in it for him if he was good.

he had the perfect recipe to join kronos's army.

idk man, i wanna see dark!nico and good!percy. percy tryna stop him and stuff.

also.. solangelo. i vant angst. i want nico to like, idk, murder will. thatd be fun

Character A: “The real tragedy was the friends we made along the way.”

Character B: “Don’t you mean ‘treasure’?”

Character A: “No. Having to care about other people has been a real bummer for me and my personal goals.”

i know she's in hardcore villain mode rn but putting luffy's hat on top of her own hat as a joke is soooo robin she's so funny for this <3

Two people who understand each other deeply. The power they hold over each other's hearts. the trust between them. That's why I keep reading books. It fascinates me.

[tetheredbysin]

nico hulkenberg being head over heels in love with his war criminal of teammate becomes even more fascinating when you think about the fact that he used to date a cop. he's come full circle.

Sounds festive

[dmc-questions-anon]

I opted not to put Vergil on here because he's already been a villain. Not to say you couldn't take things even further, but I still don't want him in the poll.

[ineffablejaymee]

oof im rereading the titans curse and

ouch

i forgot how happy, and excited and 10 years old Nico was

he was just a boy, a child, and he lost everything

he felt so alone and abandoned he turnet to monsters for guidance, no wonder he was so easily manipulated

everywhere he went he was treated as an outcast, even percy and annabeth acted shifty around him

tbh noone besides hazel treates him like a normal person until jason

oh and if that wasnt enough on this c h i l d s plate, he was struggiling hlwith his sexuality after he was ripped from time for decades, and was raised in 1930' Italy

edit: i forgot abiut that funny moment where all of the 7 was discussing whether it was worth saving him from certain death

great work you guys i love the effort

10/10

Rip most frenemies from F1 you would have loved the Andrea-Emily relationship from The Devil wears Prada

Actually it's a good thing CHB put birth control in the water or whatever because imagine the legacies being bounced from teenage guardian to teenage guardian as their teenage caretakers repeatedly die.
