heres random nico headcannons that totally arenât to make up for anything because nothing bad has happened here :) nothing at all :)
⢠heâs already greying and it should probably concern him but it fits the Goth Aesthetic so heâs cool w/ it
⢠every time a parent meets him their Parent Instincts immediately kick in. if ur mom meets nico she will be asking about him for the rest of ur life thereâs nothing you can do about it. there is an ongoing joke in the Jackson Household that sally is going to replace percy w/ nico. percy does not find this funny.
⢠speaking of percy, video games saved he and nicoâs friendship. they were both determined to be friends but had no clue where to start so percy asked him if he knew about mario kart and boom friendship saved
⢠they get super competitive & its a healthy way for them to get their primordial big three rivalry feelings out without killing each other <3
⢠nico dedicated his animal crossing island to crossbreeding every type of black flower he can, but it backfired and now is island is covered in flowers and he doesnât have room for anything else :/
⢠he gets a patchwork sleeve when heâs older & all of the tattoos either have extremely personal meanings or were gotten on a whim. there is no in between.
⢠he also has an planchette tattoo at the nape of his neck get it bc like ouija board bc he can talk to ghosts its vv clever
⢠his voice is kinda raspy bc drinking literal fire and then suffocating in a jar is bad for ur throat probably
⢠harley is convinced nico has met God. nico has made no attempts to correct him.
⢠he and reyna have matching rings
⢠also after boo reyna gave him her silver pocket knife that heâd used to kill lycaon. it was kinda emotional bc nico cannot comprehend people giving him things and not expecting something in return :,)
⢠rachel and nico have sleepovers all the time!! nico is a cryptid so he genuinely loves sleeping in the cave & he has his own designated Painting Wall. rachel is a fraud so she sneaks into his cabin & sleeps there and he promises to never tell camp <3
⢠he helps the hermes kids smuggle junk food into camp. he buys all of it and refuses to take his cut of the profits after they sell it. he just does it bc heâs bored and theyâre all deeply platonically in love with him
⢠it hasnât happened yet but one day carter and sadie will pull him out of the duat on accident and chaos will ensue
⢠asphodels grow around the hades cabin as well as those bioluminescent plants that grow in the palace gardens. this isnât about him i just think itâd be pretty
⢠he has a massive sweet tooth i feel like this is cannon already bc we only ever see him eating deserts. seriously just give him something sweet and heâll immediately side w/ you idk why the titans didnât try this
