I started thinking about that one post about how from dogs POV humans are beings that live like 500+ years (because I was petting my dog and I was looking at her like “thirty thousand years of cooperation have led to this. our species have spent 30k years building up to the point where you, child of wolf, descendant of noble hunters and wild things, would come all the way out of the office and come sit with me in the hopes of letting a souped up monkey rub its paws on you”)
and then I thought about what it must have been like for the first humans to let a fucking wolf, maybe only a few generations from the wild, behold their infant child. Like man can u believe that? Maybe this alliance is only a few years old and sure you’ve seen the wolf’s kids but now you’ve got one of your own. And even though you’ve seen this wolf tear out the throats of creatures that could kill you, this wolf is your family. This wolf is your friend, you love them and they love you and you gotta show ‘em the new kid, look, friend, I had a child. I know you are wild and dangerous, but look at this, my most precious thing, sniff him, give him a lil lick, his children and your children will be bound together for thirty thousand fucking years because I love you
There’s a set of preserved footprints from 30k years ago that is a young child and a wolf standing side by side can you fucking imagine? Maybe the kid’s mom was like “hey go get some water from the stream, but take the wolf with you. I trust him, he will protect you.”
I might need this
Nico found out that the dead don’t get to eat or taste or see anything so he summons them just so that their afterlife isn’t so sad/lonely/stagnant
Nico jumping around the world visiting random people, and he keeps bumping into the hunters, and they're all awkwardly staring at each other before he makes an awkward excuse to go away
Nico just knows everyone in different pantheons, and is on good terms with them
Nico is a baby gremlin, and adorable, and the only place where he isn't accepted is camp half-blood, and camp jupiter
That is so smart!
Nico's nickname is niccolo piccolo,
now bear with me here, what if that's why Nico is so powerful, like at 12 yrs old he was more powerful that Bianca ( I know we don't have proof but still)
There’s something to be said about Nico and Bianca being so close in age and Bianca feeling like she had to raise him rather than just be his sister. Nico doesn’t see it that way he doesn’t want Bianca to be his mom he just wants her to be a sister and a friend and ally. Nico sees it as the tow of them equally looking out for each other equally. You see how protective he is when Thorn disrespects her and Nico almost told him to go shove the great army up his butt. 1930s Italy patriarchy Italy raised Bianca to take care of everybody in her family and not expect to be taken care of and looked after in return. Nico always knew that was bullshit. Maria raised them both to look after each other equally. Maria raised Nico to be aware that people (men) won’t take Bianca seriously and that he needs to be there to stand up for her. Nico is all but willing to throw hands for her. He tried to go on the quest with them. He tried to sneak off after the hunters to protect her but Percy stopped him because he’s “too young”. And that’s the only reason he made Percy promise to protect her if he wouldn’t allow Nico to do it. Hes only one year younger than her. Maybe a year and a half but that’s not much of a difference. I can’t imagine how angry Nico was at the world cause they didn’t let him go on the quest specifically to protect Bianca and she ended up dying. How Nico must have blamed himself just as much as Percy. Blames himself for not finding a way to follow them for not finding a way to protect her like he was raised to do. That’s a big part of the reason why he was so attached to her. They were each others protectors.
(Sorry if I’m rambling here I’m a bit sleep deprived and not sure if my points are getting across)
(And this last part is just my little head cannon you don’t have to believe this part if you don’t want to but this is what I believe)
I think when Bianca was born a girl Maria was very worried for her because of the environment and time period they lived in. So Maria straight up asked Hades to make a boy to protect her just in case Bianca standing up for herself is not enough. Just in case. Because humans in numbers working together are so much stronger than humans working alone. Maria didn’t ever want her baby girl to feel alone in the fucked up world they lived in. And she knew it wouldn’t be the same to be there as a mother because she’s mortal and Bianca is demigod and needs someone to relate to and was worried Bianca could never relate to anyone or anything and feel alone even if her mom is right there. So Maria asked Hades for a boy. And that’s Nico’s whole purpose in life is just to be there for Bianca. That’s why he’s so attached. And that’s why he’s doesn’t know what to do where to go and doesn’t even know who he even is after she died. Because that was his whole life. That was his whole reason for living. For existing. Now it’s all gone. If there was only a Nico because there was a Bianca first, then if Bianca ceases to exist then, does Nico cease to exist too?
When people think Nico is creepy :
What do you mean he is creepy he is 12-13 barely a teenager!
look at this adorable face 'proceeds to aggressively squish Nico's face while Nico is blushing and looking embarrassed' how is he scary, and 'proceeds to baby talk Nico' look! he's so adorable ( even though 12 year old Nico is the same height as her, Bianca pretends Nico is still a tiny baby)
Hazel also joins in and fights against the seven, (in my au Hazel died at 14, and Nico revives her when he is 12, so there's a 2 yr age gap, and she is chronologically 4 years older than Nico, and 2 years older than Bianca) hazel is always talking about how adorable and kind Nico is
Nico's nickname is niccolo piccolo,
This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years.
If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life.
