hey sorry if you've answered this before but I'm curious on if you have any thoughts about Will and Naomi's relationship? Do you think that Naomi is more of an older sister type figure to Will just because of how little he see's her with the touring and monsters stuff? Or if you have any thoughts in general?
oops sorry i forgot to reply. i'd have to read tcotd to really expand on it properly but rn the vibe i get is not older sister-like exactly but they do kinda read like those parent-kid duos that actually seem a lot more like friends than parent and kid... they love each other and get along and they have a good relationship and naomi did try to make time to be with him before camp but their lives HAVE been very disconnected since will was like 10; right now she has her life and he has his. shes probably raised him to have good traits but that disconnect, paired with camp and the wars etc etc instilling that "keep calm" "be independent" etc are needed for survival, probably had him develop a less-healthy grip on them. and he IS very independent; he doesnt think he needs anyone "looking after him", and from the little ive spoiled myself with tcotd, he doesnt tell naomi about the uhh more "exciting"(read: concerning) parts of camp. blah blah blah does this make sense
edit: i forgot to add and i mightve mentioned it before, i think will would defend naomi regardless of how much her flaws as a parent might weigh on him; in tsats when he starts talking about the slightest complain he might have for his childhood, he jumps to bring up "but i love travelling and my mom is my best friend"
his plague powers are partially fueled by his loneliness as a kid
anyway headcanon: naomi isnt all that strict and definitely not against will expressing himself, she has good reasons to put her foot down and say no when she does. i like to think will has asked for stupid tattooes before and was told no until he could get it himself without parental permission; naomi folded on the sun tattoo because it was really important to will and she was pretty sure that if she said no on this specific one, he would just find a sketchy tattoo place that will do it without parental permission (or, god forbid, a fellow demigod); might as well make sure hes safe, help choose the design, and hold his hand
