i scream my thoughts on nico di angelo into the void.

[princessofghosts-posts]

Sometimes I remember that Nico being italian is relevant in HoO.

There are a couple of scenes in HoH and BoO where Nico explains to the others something regarding the roman influence in their current lives and informations that he,as a greek demigod,shouldn't be able to know since it's about the romans. Like,for example,when they were talking about Diocletian's scepter and Jason and Hazel were giving their opinions on him,Nico also participated in the discussion. I love these little details because it makes us understand that Nico si very smart and knowledged,but I just realized that it's also because he is italian.

Italy has a very long and rich history behind,the ancient roman empire is just one of the biggest parts of it. During elementary and middle school we study a lot of it in history classes,so Nico probably had to go through lessons about it when he was still going to school (I'm pretty sure he continues to research and acculturate himself on his own now). So it's totally normal for him to know. And technically,he should also have a lot of informations on the emperors in ToA too,if we follow the same reasoning. If only Apollo brought Nico with him on his quests,maybe it would have been easier to figure them out.

I'm continuing the "Nico is a walking Wikipedia for demigods" agenda because I refuse to let him become clueless like Riordan is trying to do. (Nico not knowing many god/goddess? Let's be for real,that boy is studying to have so many informations,it's impossible that he doesn't know a deity when he was able to find a God of a dead pantheon on his own.)

is this anything

[nico-fanatic]

this is everything

the first time i read House of Hades I was maybe 13. foing through my own queer awakening. working on coming out.

Nicos plotline. being forced to come out by cupid. it hit me as a difficult experience but now, more than 10 years later, rereading, this is so so unfair.

why did nico have to go through this? why couldn't he have chosen when and how? im happy abt will solace of course. but nico went through hell, literally, multiple times, and here he is being tortured into coming out and admitting to himself, a friend that is terrified of him, and a god, who he is.

crying for this poor boy. THAT IS MY SON WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO HIM

[nico-fanatic]

lowkey real. i still remeber where i was when i read nico’s chapter. i remember the hate some people gave it- and i totally get it. it’s rick’s first OPEN queer character that has already been through (literal) hell and back. but still, rick put him through more. but i really don’t think nico being outed is bad. okay that came out wrong. the cupid scene was BAD. it was not right. and in the books, the characters treat it as bad as it is.

this reblog-reply was kind of a nothing burger, but i was just reminded of the first moment i SAW a queer character. what i was feeling. what it meant for me. how much it would mean to me.

[somewhereincairparavel]

the thing about writing powerful rivals, rick, is that you need to actually show us that they have equal amounts of power 😭 especially when the rival is the son of the king of olympus.

you can't make percy magically one up jason, randomly knock jason out in every fight so that he doesn't get to use his abilities, and shoehorn every character commenting on their "rivalry" and call it a day.

even little things like percy getting the gorgon's blood and jason not getting his memories up until very late in the books show preferential treatment

jason was considered percy's "competitor" yet it felt like he was only there to show us how ridiculously OP percy was. what was the point of making them roman and greek representatives of eachother if you don't let jason unleash his full potential intentionally because you're scared the fandom will like jason more?

[nico-fanatic]

this is why i try to even it out and make nico more powerful. in my head, i do the same to jason, i just don’t talk about him enough.

rick has a case of “favorite oc syndrome” where he makes percy ultra powerful and does a bad job at showing characters who are supposed to be his level or higher. jason is a good example of that. it felt like we were told “these two are equals and rivals” but it never felt like that. in general, i just don’t think rick is good at power scaling. i don’t think it’s entering his fault since he never expected pjo to be this big or to expand it with hoo, which you can also see in some other aspects

[lilyfrey]

They were not, in fact, nearly there.

So I did a thing for @alnair-jpg 's Sept 2025 DTIYS

(I like to think Nico could have just shadow travel them, but he won't cause he's having too much fun watching his boyfriend trying to figure out a map)

-> Closeups of the boys because i like their faces

Also yes, i did draw Will in cargo shorts instead of long jeans. My brain is rotten and cannot imagine this boys wearing anything else ever in his life. I love him dearly

[nico-fanatic]

LONG HAIR NICO YESSSSS THIS IS ADORBALE I OOVE GHE DOLORS AND THE SCEERY AND THE POSITIONING OF EVERUTGING

THE ART STYLE IS SO GRAPHIC NOVEL I LOVE IT

[femme-plant-mom]

I like the idea that Nico is the only demigod (aside from his own children) Dionysus bothers calling by the right name.

“Nico, your boyfriend—Wallace, right?—was looking for you.”

“Nico and Wilhelm are the most tolerable of all of the couples at this gods forsaken camp.”

“Nico, Peter, and Judas, you can’t sit together for meals.”

[nico-fanatic]

idk if i’ve posted this before, but nico and mr d have such a fun dynamic. it’s NOT father in son. it’s bitchy uncle and bitchy nephew. they’re rude and weird and assholes and i love them. i need more of them

[aroaceleovaldez]

we've GOTTA collectively start writing Will as freakier i'm sorry. he willingly chose to not only date a Hades kid but to date the CREEPIER Hades kid. the one he watched killed multiple people. the one who has a habit of stalking people. the one everyone is fully convinced is cursed and/or evil. Will CHOSE THAT LIFE. Will is INTO THAT.

if you're not writing Will as daydreaming about a Morticia & Gomez Addams romance where they flirt in the camp morgue and Nico is actively trying to sacrifice him to dark spirits while in actuality Nico the magic the gathering nerd is mildly concerned why Will is so enthusiastic about showing off his bones and specimens collection to Nico (not that he's grossed out, it's just weird for somebody who's not him to be doing that) then you are missing out!!!!! make Will weirder!!!!

[death-and-doctors]

Nico di Angelo is a poker king™️ and you can't convince me otherwise

NICO AND WILL DOING THE “you should add some color” TREND

[macs-instantdoodles]

*rises from grave* I need to draw these characters I was fixated on as a teenager

[nico-fanatic]

i love this style so much omg. it looks so water colored but it’s digital and i love the outline. it reminds me of scott christian sava’s art style. he’s on youtube and one of my favorites. i love this so much.

[sanyamoloko]

[nico-fanatic]

[luvingsolace]

don’t fall for the solangelo introvert x extrovert propaganda! They are both extroverts it’s just that they are also both extremely weird people

[nico-fanatic]

YES YES YESSSSS

[rayasukan]

Nico :)

[nico-fanatic]

????!!!!!!!!

i’m eating this up. i’m sorry. it’s gone. there’s no more art left. the hatching of the style, the subtle and lean muscle, the cross, the HAIR, THE EYES, THE COLORRRR?????

and the expression!!!! expressions are so hard to get right but OP got the perfect one. like. it’s complex and you can see him thinking and it just feels so real??? and so book accurate?? like istg i can hear lines of dialouge from leo or percy describing him and guessing what he’s thinking idek. its curious, sad, a little hopeful, dreadfully hopeless, and like he KNOWS something. idk. like he knows your death and is a little amused by you acting like you’re above it. he’s wondering who you’ll arrive there, already knowing where you’ll end up- already DECIDING it.

or maybe he’s looking at hazel, will, jason, or reyna’s? it’s everything i jsut said but with a hint of happiness, familiarity, and love. his eyes shine with power, future, happiness, and something more. his hand is on his neck, rubbing a sore spot? rubbing in a moment of uncomfortable anxiety? slinging his jacket over his shoulder as a leaves once more? or did he just come back?

you look at it again and he looks a bit conflicted. sad and angry, scared but trying not to show it, knowing better than to let himself feel it. maybe he’s looking at hades. they’re relationship is rocky and uncertain. filled with hurt, mistrust, and awkwardness but there’s hope for it to be better.

he looked apprehensive.

lineart ver under the cut because i liked it

[nico-fanatic]

i LOVE the joy in hazels face. beautiful art, this is so accurate to how i picture the characters. amazing work

[nico-fanatic]

sometimes you have a head cannon that you KNOW is out of character and not even close to cannon, but it’s fun so you don’t care

[rayasukan]

I needed to feel something so I was reading @mediumgayitalian's Solangelo fics on Ao3 once again, and my gods their description of Will's eyes changing with the sky are just brilliant and incredible and *chef's kiss*

I don't know if this is how they meant it, but this is how I picture it in my head whenever I'm reading their fics:

Go read their fics on tumblr or Ao3 if you haven't, I swear it will change your life if you are a Solangelo shipper like me X3

[nico-fanatic]

this is such insane art it’s absolutely beautiful my god. and the head cannon itself is so fun i love it! kinda like how percy’s changes with his mood to reflect the sea (i can’t remember if that’s cannon or not)
