#you can rip nico being an aristocrat from my cold dead rigid hands

[tagthescullion]

Headcanon that whenever Nico's in a stressful situation he starts speaking extremely formally, a byproduct of his aristocratic upbringing.

absolutely!! I've had this hc for ages, double fun if this edgy looking teen suddenly goes half british posh accent and all proper like "hey you dumb fuck asshole what the--- no, beg your pardon, mr d, I haven't seen percy recently"

but also like, when he's introduced to new people, he goes all awkward and reverts to heir-to-the-title so everybody thinks he's this super formal, well-bred, if a bit shy boy:

"oh, but nico's such a sweetheart, percy, don't be hard on him" sally tells percy. "remember that time he dropped by for your birthday, and--"

"mom, he's killed like four people and told a manticore to eat cheetos with his filthy unfuckable ass when he was like ten"
