So, imagine leo arriving in a black toga on halloween and setting his hair on fire(somehow managing not to burn it because, he knows his powers pretty well at this point)and turning the fire blue and tailing nico around calling him his delicate and fragile son.
Until Nico just goes feral and Reyna has to hold him back because...LET ME GO REYNA! I'M GONNA MURDER THAT ELF DEVIL! AND SEND HIM STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDS ASPHODEL!
tell me you didn't swell with pride when you read this!!
Not to mention all the PTSD, insomnia and schizophrenia.
Imagine a demigod who already has PTSD because of their childhood where they had to fight monsters and run away from home or keep it a secret from everyone at such Young age because, 'I know no-one's gonna believe me'. And imagine it getting worse after the war. Imagine them being too headstrong or scared to tell anyone and deciding to go through the pain all alone.
Feel free to add!
Okay, someone has probably done this before but like…… You try being constantly labeled a problem child and somehow not ending up with some form of mental illness seriously. Like, these kids are not okay. Don’t pretend they are. Nobody can realistically fight at least one war and come out unscathed, never mind being attacked by like…. a monster….. like that stuff’s scarring y’all.

Feel free to add on other mental illness HC’s because dang… There are a surprisingly low amount.
