Now Bear With Me Here, What If That's Why Nico Is So Powerful, Like At 12 Yrs Old He Was More Powerful

me after willingly searching for posts like this - :( how could you do this to me

WAIT WAIT WAIT what if...

What if Nico went to Tartarus with Percy and Annabeth 

Imagine Nico reaching down to grab Percy’s hand as they hang on the edge of the cliff

Imagine Percy taking it

Imagine Annabeth screaming as her leg is nearly yanked out of its socket

Imagine her and Percy falling

Imagine Nico not being able, not willing, to let go in time.

Imagine the scene with arai, The curses, 

Imagine Nico plowing through them to get to Percy and Annabeth

Imagine Percy wondering why he wasn’t affected 

Imagine them answering with the same response they gave for Bob.

The boy is already cursed, Why should we torture him further? You Percy Jackson have already destroyed his life.

Imagine them explaining that if percy never joined the guest, Bianca would have survived.

Imagine Percy fully expecting Nico to turn away, to leave him like he did all those years ago, he finally had proof, Proof that he was right to hate Percy.

Imagine Nico protecting Percy, unwavering as the arai tried to turn him over to their side.

Imagine them fighting in sync, like two parts of a well oiled machine.

Imagine a wounded Nico running to Annabeth's side as soon as all the monsters were dead.

Imagine him dragging a dying Percy and guiding a blind Annabeth through Tarturus 

Imagine him leading the way, Both he and Annabeth knowing full well he could leave them both and save himself and they would be unable to stop him.

Imagine him struggling with his own injuries but pushing through for Percy’s sake.

Now imagine them at the doors of death, 

Imagine Nico volunteering to sacrifice himself so that Percy and Annabeth could make it back.

Then Imagine them saying no

Imagine Percy refusing, saying he’d rather stay here than abandon him again

Imagine Annabeth begging him to come with them, saying we’ll find a way or they will stay here together.

Imagine them getting back

Imagine the seven hugging Percy and Annabeth

And Imagine them pulling Nico to the centre of it.

6 zoo myths that arent true

This. This is my new headcannon

Sometimes, it’s hard to interact with Nico. Even Hazel has to admit that. No, it’s not his father, no, it’s not how he chants the names of the dead, well at least not for Hazel, no. It’s how the souls cling on to him, like he is the anchor in the wild sea. When he laughs, sweet as nectar, it is like you can hear the joy of the spirits with him, as if they’ve heard that they can return just one more time, to apologize, to say their goodbyes, to say “it’s not your fault” and “I love you” When he sobs, you hear the wails of the souls in the Lethe, alone, forgotten. You can feel the pain of the tormented, the Acheron spilling from his mouth. His rage is unkempt, rage like the souls in Punishment, rage like Achilles who sits by the Styx, rage of the many souls who never got a life they truly lived. It’s not his fault. You know that. Hazel knows that. Everyone does. But when he speaks, and his voice mixes like wine with the voices of the ones you loved, the ones you cherished, you have to turn away. No wonder the boy stopped speaking. What torture would it be, to hear his sister when he spoke? Or his mother when he cried? How painful.

I love music!

Alright I got that Nico/Eros playlist made (mostly. I’m probably gonna find more songs later and add them) so here it is. Some songs are about Eros point of view and some songs are about Nico going through it.

If you know any more songs for them please let me know and I’ll add it) (I wish Apple Music would let us share playlists like Spotify smh)

(Also if you can’t tell the whole album by Christian Death is about Eros following Nico since he was a young child and thinking back to his childhood a lot and how he kinda noticed the sings that some entity was following and he was terrified of the thing but he didn’t want anyone to think he’s crazy so he never told anyone and suffered Eros’s abuse all alone.)

(Some of the songs are about Nicos hatred for Eros or about him recovering or about Eros following Nico well into his adult years and Nico trying to cope or even breaking giving up and playing along with Eros)

I would love to live somewhere like this.

Gonna get myself a fun little surprise I guess

ooh, this is cool

I know it's unfair vilification and stuff but it's also a lot of fun to see old media and stuff where people were SO scared of big animals like lions, sharks, crocodiles and wolves were fully expected to just come and eat you the moment you stepped into their territory. In older media we also made that assumption about gorillas and in still older we thought it'd be whales. But some animals that will actually fuck you up got left behind. Boars will kill you and eat you. They're way more likely to do so than any of those other things actually. Hippos, obviously, got off like bandits always being depicted as cute and dopey. And then there's the squids. Not giant kraken size squids. The eight foot squids that hunt in packs and will fuck you up if you fall in the water at night. I can't BELIEVE people slept on that. It's like all they cared about were the huge deep sea ones we never see. The medium size wolf pack squids were right there.

Nico

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
