I did not read all the Riordanverse books, but I did read most of them and know more or less what happens in all. And Nico di Angelo has been one my favorite character out of all fandoms since I was 9 to this day. So here are some things I think the fadom is getting wrong abt him
1. He is not "quiet shy poor little twink" as I keep seeing every fucking where even in 2025. He's not introverted in the "I'm scared of people" way but in the "fuck people" way. He doesn't hang out with people not because of anxiety but because he a) doesn't like them b) doesn't see the point of it and c) he has better things to do. And let me tell you, I'm 101% sure he can handle any conversation (small talk or not) at least as good (if not better) as Will.
2. This one is more abt Percy but wtv. Percy wasn't offended that Nico didn't like him anymore. He was worried Nico hated him again. That's why he was shocked. He wasn't like "HoW dArE yOu NoT fInD mE aTtRaCtIvE" as ppl say. He was worried that after all they've been through Nico hated him and Percy probably felt guilty for a lot of stuff in that moment.
3. He wouldn't choose Bianca over Hazel. 11 y/o Nico? Yeah, that one would. But this Nico? I'm 400% sure that if he got the occasion to switch Hazel for Bianca he wouldn't. Not because he likes Hazel more. I'm sure he loves them equally. But because that's just what's right.
That's all I can think abt now and idc if ppl have alr seen this or that only a few ppl still think this. This shit gotta be known by everyone
