Nico Di Angelo - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

WAIT WAIT WAIT

So hades was in Nico's life a lot, right? (At least more than most gods are with their kids)

In HoO it's implied that Hitler was Hades' son.

WHAT IF HADES USED TO BE NONCHALANT WITH HIS PARENTING, LIKE OTHER GODS, THEN GOT TRAUMATISED WITH HOW HITLER ENDED UP.

THEN HE STARTED TRYING TO BE IN HIS KIDS' LIVES.

PERCY JACKSON HEADCANON.

What is Nico starts teaching Will Italian so that they can have conversations together in Italian, and it gets to a point where will can understand it but can't really speak it.

Combine that headcanon with the one where Will gets SUPER country when he's angry, and we get a hilarious image of what an argument would look like between them.

Imagine a new camper entering the infirmary

Will to any other patient: "hey, your gonna be fine, alright? We'll have you all fixed up in no time! Ok?"

Will to Nico: "you mother fu-"

Nico art dump

Super proud of that first one.

Concept.

Nico does NOT take care of his hair whatsoever, it gets long and ratty and Will has to wrestle him to the ground to do anything with it.

Whenever he needs to do something, like fighting or training, he just ties back his hair.

One time, he asked Will to get him a hairtie while he was out. He returned with a hot pink scrunchy as a joke.

This is the only thing Nico will tie his hair back with. No one has the guts to make fun of it, especially after a monster made a comment on it and proceeded to get obliterated.

Pjo concept.

A HepheastusTV exclusive, Camp Half-blood Kitchen (and Camp Jupiter Kitchen).

Different demigods of different ethnicities teach how to cook food from their respective cultures. I can only confidently think of things Nico would say. So throw in yalls suggestions for other characters.

"Throw pasta at the wall, and I will throw you into tartarus. Don't test me."

"If your pot isn't big enough, get a bigger pot. Crack the pasta and will crack your spine in half."

" I can and will send a horde of nonna ghosts to haunt you."

"Pronounce things right, I almost ended my relationship over the pronunciation of spaghetti"

"You may want to serve this with garlic bread, don't."

11 random pjo&hoo headcanons

mostly Will Solace centric cuz I'm hyperfixated on this dork

Will is terrified of birds (which is canon in tsats apparently but idgaf about that book sooo) after he saw vultures attacking a newborn calf on his grandparents' ranch. he didn't know they could do that at the time and was really disturbed by the birds vomiting when they noticed him watching.

literally any song can heal. cue Will bursting into I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters while healing cabin 5 for the umpteenth time.

Jason is a feral wolf boy (it's not really an unpopular opinion but whatever). he bites, barks and growls when sparring. extremely territorial. doesn't like the feeling of a table edge against his forearms so he eats sitting cross-legged on the ground. doesn't like wearing shoes and only started sleeping on a normal bed at 12 when during a particularly cold winter he kept getting sick from sleeping on the barracks' floor and Reyna manhandled his ass to New Rome's furniture store and got him a thin mattress.

Jason needs to be within touching distance of someone at all times. he'd reflexively comb through and braid Reyna and Piper's hair, play with Dakota and Leo's curls, press his forehead against Gwen and Nico's shoulder blades and side hug Bobby and Thalia.

unmasked Will has murder in his eyes. his pacifism is not an innate trait, but his ultimate choice. a very hard one at times, because his brain's first instinct is always "choose violence". his anger issues are even worse than Percy's, although his self-control is better.

on a related note - grandpa Micah taught Will how to shoot a gun when he was 6. his archery skills are nonexistent, but he's the best shot with firearms. he tries to keep it on the down low however, cuz he prefers to give off a non-threatening sunshine vibe to most other campers, but he occasionally works on his shooting during solitary forest patrols and while at home on holiday breaks.

Hazel becomes a hardcore brony the moment she finds out about MLP. her favourite character is Princess Luna. her bunkspace is now full of merch and creepypastas are her new bedtime stories.

Nico doesn't like peanut butter but absolutely loves cottage cheese. Will finds that interesting. Will himself likes both.

Will loves emo music actually. although he will annoy everybody by always picking the silliest country songs during his shifts at the infirmary. he thinks it creates good vibes.

Nico's hair is thick, kinda wavy and hard to manage so he's constantly caught between craving to grow it out really long and impulsively cutting it chin-length. so in last olympian it's down to his shoulders but during Gaea war he sports a short shag again. after settling at camp he can finally grow it out cuz Drew shows him her cabin's secret weapon - conditioner!

everybody in cabin 7 knows italian (just like cabin 10 knows french. and yes, I know it's another popular one), but only to the extent of their music gift. so while Austin is bilingual, Will's innate italian knowledge is lower intermediate at best. although naturally they can only speak and understand it (just like with ancient greek and cabin 10's french) so they still have to study writing.

lots of those are inspired by general fanon as well as many fic writers' personal headcanons, but off the top of my head I can only tell you that the peanut butter one is from iyncbyhim by @yrbeecharmer

Listen

So Michael Yew is canonically a ghost.

His body was never found which means he never got a funeral.

In Ancient Greece funerals were kind of a big deal. Greeks didn't hold them just to say goodbye to their loved ones, they believed a funeral was the only way for the dead to get to Hades. No proper burial - no proper afterlife. You're stuck upstairs. Not to mention refusing to bury your dead or waiting too long to do it was extremely disrespectful to the gods. That's why Achilles dragging Hector's corpse around in the Iliad was such a horrifically wrong move on his part. Killing him was righteous revenge but parading his corpse was a terrible insult.

And Michael, the poor lad, never got a proper burial. I guess Rick never thought of the implications of that. He's haunting his siblings as we speak. Maybe Nico can send him down the Bryce Lawrence way though technically this way shouldn't be possible either. Bryce's ghost should have remained upstairs after Nico pulled it out of his body. He should have been required to be buried afterwards. But that's a debate to have some other time.

the way Percy's friend group is literally -

4 monsters:

half-goat who's technically twice his age

one-eyed brother who's technically half his age

surprisingly lovely giant dog from hell

strangely devoted flying horse who can talk

and an odd assortment of people:

his mama

immortal lesbian who was a tree for a few years

scary buff girl who bullied him a little

autistic kid who radiates death and had a crush on him

nicest demigod ever whom he had a crush on before he... died

allegedly normal girl who now randomly tells the future

autistic girl who tried her absolute hardest to hate him then promptly fell in love with him. now they're soulmates

goddess of hearth

the rage I feel when reading Blood of Olympus chapters 45-56 is almost equivalent in magnitude to the absolute joy I experience when reading The Last Olympian chapters 1-23.

remember when percabeth was good? when they meant the world to each other but had other people they cared about (nico, for one. both of them. so much), other worries and other storylines aside from their romantic plot? and when nico's completed arc wasn't repeated for no reason other than to dump more trauma on the youngest character in the series? when background characters were included in the story not for all the unnecessary last minute romantic subplots but because they were fun and fascinating to learn more about? and were actually friends with main characters? remember when grover was percy and annabeth's best friend forever? and antagonists were actually interesting and intimidating and had compelling goals? and the story revolved around friendship and family and loyalty? and death was definite and loss was palpable and battles were thrilling?

yeah. good times.

HoO Headcanon

So I was just thinking about the whole Reyna/Nico/Hazel sibling thing (which I totally believe) and I had a what if moment. It’s pretty much Canon that when hazel stay at camp half-blood she stays in the Hades cabin with her brother, but what if when Reyna comes to the Greek camp, because her mother is only a Roman goddess (I can’t remember how to spell her name) instead of staying in the big house she’s allowed to stay in the Hades cabin with her honorary little brother and sister! Don’t know why but I find it so cute! Then if any of them have nightmares of… you know, anything (tartarus/dying/crazy fathers) they’ll be able to comfort each other… and I just imagine all three becoming overprotective demons when it comes the other two and that makes me happy! Also instead of sleeping on their beds the three get all the pillows and blanket in their cabin and they just pile up in the middle of the floor watching movies all night. Hazel likes to cuddled in her sleep, Nico will curl up to whoever is closest to him, and Reyna sleeps in the middle with an arm around each of the Hades/Pluto kids.

Everybody talks about a Percy Jackson film series done right, but what about a TV series? Think about how much content we would get! The giffing possibilities, the theorising, the going over of every scene to see symbolism. - 5 Percy Jackson & The Olympians seasons - 5 Heroes of Olympus seasons - Possible Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase and Trials of Apollo spinoffs with actor cameos from PJO & HOO - Watching lil’ Percabeth being sassy in season one, knowing that they’re gonna be around for years. - Seeing Percy, Annabeth and Grover’s actors all becoming best friends and starting YouTube/Snapchat/Twitter/Instagram chains/accounts with BTS filming - Freaking out about the actors chosen to play the gods - Watching out for little Reyna and Hylla when Percy’s turned back from a guinea pig and praying they keep the same actors - Filming seasons 2 and 3 in direct succession so there’s no noticeable age difference in the characters, but having to wait to watch on hiatus and surviving by looking at the cast’s social media when filming - Meeting Bianca and Nico, trying not to get attached to Bianca’s actress but still crying your eyes out when she dies (but screaming with joy if she returns for flashbacks and/or ghost scenes) - Watching the Nico actor undergo his ~transformation~ and fan casting Will to suit him - Watching Percabeth’s first kiss in the volcano and crying with excitement because it’s been such a long build-up - Organising watching parties for the three- or four-hour long season finale in season 5 and screaming at the Camp Jupiter foreshadowing, Will’s first appearance, Annabeth getting injured, Silena dying, Kronos being defeated, Rachel becoming the oracle, Luke dying, Percy turning down immortality and Percabeth finally becoming canon with an orchestral swell and crying behind the scenes because these kids won’t see each other for a year or more

- Finally seeing teasers for HOO and gathering together to watch the pilot - Watching them cast a Mexican actor for Leo and a Native American actress for Piper - Seeing them cast Jason and comparing him to Thalia’s actress with FaceSwap - The theories and rumours about Piper and Jason’s actors being together (which they neither confirm nor deny as Leo’s actor giggles in interviews) - Annabeth’s return in the first scene of the pilot and people screaming crying when Butch says, “Percy Jackson” and the Heroes of Olympus opening credits play - Over-analysis of every scene to make up for the hiatus since PJO ended - Watching the start of the Gaia storyline and crying excitedly at the mention of Nico’s name - Meeting Festus and realising that his beeps, whirs, and whatnot actually do represent letters and/or words - like Morse code - and learning to speak it - Shrieking when Jasiper kiss - Watching Leo start to build the Argo II - Screaming when Percy returns in Son of Neptune only remembering “Annabeth” and getting super excited to meet Hazel and Frank - Watching Nico introduce himself and crying at Percy’s vacant expression - Getting way too excited when Leo’s actor appears as Sammy (in a hat that always hides his face a little) because he looks amazingly dashing - Fangirling over Reyna because she’s changed so much but she still looks like the island girl she was way back when - Giffing the Percy/Jason amnesia parallels - The cast filming seasons 3-5 all at once and being done years before the series finale because it’s all set in a couple months - Crying at Percabeth’s reunion bc the actors haven’t worked together in years and they really did miss each other. - Crying some more at Reyna’s expression seeing Jasiper together - Revelling in the awkward chemistry between Leo, Hazel, and Frank because the actors are super close and friendly irl - Hearts everywhere skipping a beat when “you dropped this” happens - Shipping overloads when Leo and Calypso meet - Screaming from every viewer when Percabeth fall into Tartarus (like the internet breaks, percabeth, tartarus, and hoo are trending on tumblr for two weeks) - So many tears when they get out - Even more tears when Nico’s crush comes out because his actor is so good he looks heartbroken - The internet breaking again when Season 5 of HOO airs - Nico-Reyna friendship omzgzz - The final showdown between the gods, the Seven, the giants and Gaia being basically unbearable and many hours long - When Solangelo meet people start to cry and/or scream bc THe cHemIStrY - The big final battle taking seven hours and airing one hour every day for a week - Two weeks later, when the dust has settled, we get a one-and-a-half hour ep with the aftermath. - Two and a half months afterwards, everyone wants Leo’s ending and it airs with only one trailer (ten seconds) - After the end of Leo’s epilogue, every cast, crew, production, publisher, and helper is thanked with their most fitting godly parent following their name (i.e. John Appleseed, Son of Demeter)

Just a Percy Jackson TV series, is all.

Reyna: Hey, are you free on Friday? Like, around 7 pm on Friday?

Will:  Yes?

Reyna:  What about you?

Nico:  Yes, I am.

Reyna:  Great! Because I’m not. You two go on without me. Enjoy your date.

Nico:  Did she just-

Heroes of Olympus HeadCanon

One time during the winter solstice Lady Heatia and Nico team up to get the other gods to watch Disney’s ‘Hercules’ movie.

piper !! mclean !! is !! not !! white !!

frank zhang !! is !! not !! white !!

hazel !! levesque !! is !! not !! white !!

nico !! di !! angelo !! is !! not !! straight !!

alex !! fierro !! is !! not !! cisgender !!

representation matters !! don’t erase these identities !!

And Reyna herself committed that she was surprised Nico could even move when she only took a small portion of his pain in the blood of Olympus.

Have you ever just stopped and thought about how powerful and strong-willed Nico di Angelo actually is?

-He went into Tartarus ALONE OF HIS OWN FREE WILL and came back. Even Percy- who Nico called the most powerful demigod he’s ever met- acknowledged it, and he would’ve literally gone insane if it wasn’t for Annabeth.

-He was so depressed that even the goddess of misery had nothing worse to give him. GODDESS of misery.

-He was almost killed shadow travelling. HADES warned him he could die and he still went on for Camp Halfblood, which never accepted him.( Atleast, that’s what he thought anyway)

-He survived a jar full of poisonous air with just a pomegranate seed per day in coma. And if that’s invalid, he lasted a lot more time than he was supposed to.

-Nico’s agony in Cupid’s palace: Grass around him dying, stones cracking and waves of darkness rolling off him so strong that when they hit Jason, he almost lost consciousness. JUST WAVES.

-He’s scared of Love more than he is of Tartarus. Him coming out of his shell and being able to tell everyone(or at least some people) about his feelings-something that wouldn’t have been accepted AT ALL during his time…

-When Nico got mad at him, Jason wanted to draw his sword just in case and he thought Nico might be MORE THAN HE COULD HANDLE even though he’d met plenty of scary demigods before.

-This may or may not seem to be a very solid argument, but strong willed because when he met Percy at Camp Jupiter, he STILL LOVED HIM, and Percy probably looked so lost and forlorn, wouldn’t you have blurted out even 1 tiny thing that could’ve made him feel a little less helpless?

-How many 12 year olds can achieve the title GHOST KING? Even if they WERE Hades’ kids.

-He radiates death, KRONOS’ ARMY fell back from him.

-He matured so much after ‘The Last Olympian’ no one needs me to explain this point further.

THINK LONGER ABOUT THE 4TH POINT AND ALL WORDS IN CAPITALS.

50 Reasons TO LOVE NICO DI ANGELO

MY CHILD NEEDS MORE LOVE SO HERE I AM, WRITING FIFTY REASONS TO LOVE NICO.

Note: These are not in any order, the reasons are all random, also there will be spoilers and cursing.

1. LITTLE NICO IS SO CUTE. He protects his sister, “Don’t talk to my sister that way!” Plus he’s super nerdy and obsessed with mythomagic and pirates, HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE HIM?!

2. “You said you would protect her” Do really need to explain?

3. He’s so fucking powerful, but doesn’t use his powers for bad, or to show off (unlike some other demigods I know).

4. HE BROUGHT A WHOLE FUCKING SKELETON ARMY TO HELP IN THE IN THE TITAN WAR.

5. He discovered Camp Jupiter before anyone else.

6. He pretends not to know Percy, which must have been extremely hard for him to do, just to make sure that he doesn’t accidentally mess up the quest.

7. HE FOUND HAZEL IN ASPHODEL AND GAVE HER A NEW LIFE. WITHOUT NICO HAZEL WOULD STILL BE IN ASPHODEL.

8. His grammar is AMAZING.

9. He is so freaking polite.

10. At age fourteen, after already being in so much pain, he jumped into Tartarus. HE FUCKING JUMPED INTO TARTARUS. I REPEAT, HE FUCKING JUMPED INTO TARTARUS. HE JUMPED IN BECAUSE HE DIDN’T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO HAVE TO GO THOUGH PAIN TO CLOSE THE DOORS OF DEATH, SO HE WILLING DECIDED TO TAKE THE PAIN ONTO HIMSELF.

Plus, he saw Tartarus MUCH WORSE THAN PERCY AND ANNABETH, WAS BY HIMSELF, AND WAS ALREADY IN PAIN. AND HE JUMPED IN WILLINGLY. WILLINGLY.

11. According to the old myths, Ares, an immortal god at his full strength could barely survive being in the Bronze jar. NICO SURVIVED AT AGE 14 AFTER BEING TO FUCKING TARTARUS.

12. On top of everything, he had MORE PAIN ABOUT HIS FEELINGS FOR PERCY.

13. He’s gay, and it made me SO happy to FINALLY see an LGBTQ+ character in a kids book.

14. HE SHADOW TRAVELED A FUCKING FORTY FOOT TALL STATUE ACROSS THE WORLD.

15. HE IS STILL FIGHTING

16. Reynico and Jasico BROTP

17. SOLANGELO OTP. THIS SHIP IS BEAUTIFUL.

18. He is sane enough to continue to live, talk, and be pretty okay.

19. “I have a doctor’s note”

20. He has an awesome “Son of Hades” look

21. EVEN THOUGH HE HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN HE STILL TRIES TO HELP PEOPLE. ANYONE BUT HIMSELF. HE ALMOST KILLED HIMSELF BY SHADOW TRAVELING SO MUCH, JUST TO HELP THE CAMPS.

22. Nico is an amazing name. So is di Angelo. It translates to Nico from the Angels, I think. Edit: Okay so apparently, according to the helpful @the-forgotten-traveller his name translates to Victory of the Angels or the Angel of Death, depending on where his first name was rooted from. (correct me if I’m wrong).

23. “With great power, comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later”

24. He tries to comfort Reyna and defends her by killing that demigod roman asshole.

25. I’m pretty sure Will Solace had a crush on him.

26. “I’m a son of Hades, Jason. I might as well be covered in blood or sewage, the way people treat me.”

Despite that, he STILL HELPS THOSE PEOPLE TO POINT WHERE HE ALMOST KILLS HIMSELF HELPING PEOPLE WHO BARELY NOTICE HIM.

27. He speaks Italian.

28. He’s defends all of his sisters, Bianca, Hazel, and Reyna.

29. He’s sarcastic.

30. This line: “Not a word about the shirt. Not one word.”

31. He’s probably the most attractive 80-something year old ever.

32. He was THE FIRST DEMIGOD TO SURVIVE TARTARUS. EVER.

33. He listens to Techno Pop music.

34. He’s awesome at sword fighting.

35. He’s a classic “Looks like he could kill you but is actually a cinnamon roll”

36. He was the only one to talk to Hesita and Bob.

37. Nico talking to Bob was the only reason Bob helped Percy and Annabeth in Tartarus, and therefore Nico indirectly saved the entire world.

38. He’s the ghost king.

39. “Don’t call me Death Boy!”

40. “Significant annoyance, in your case.”

41. He’s can shadow travel.

42. He helped Apollo in ToA, even though the gods have been nothing but mean to him.

43. Fuck that. Not only did he help Apollo, he HELPED ALL THE GODS.

44. Hades is pretty cool.

45. Nico is so relatable.

46. He’s such an inspiration, I mean, he’s been though so much pain, and is still a hero.

47. He’s stronger than everyone else, because not only does he have to do normal DEMIGOD stuff, he also has SO MUCH PAIN.

48. He’s not stupid, quite the contrary actually. He’s extremely intelligent, AND he stopped going to school at age 10. Let me repeat that, HE STOPPED GOING TO SCHOOL AT AGE TEN. AND THE SCHOOL HE WENT TO WAS FROM THE 1930S.

49. HE IS PERFECT AND AMAZING AND GREAT. YOU CAN FIGHT ME ON THIS.

50. He’s fucking Nico di Angelo.

dark!nico

i see lots of posts about Dark!Percy, but what about Dark!Nico? Nico survived Tartarus at what? age 14? then was kidnapped and held captive in a jar by fucking titans for days. lets not even get into detail about his fucked up past, i mean seriously, Nico has such incredible powerful and doesn’t nearly get enough credit for it.

Dark!Nico is interesting because we’ve straight up seen it before too; Percy’s dark side showed when he almost killed Misery, but we see Nico’s when he gets angry – Murdering a boy and literally turning him into a ghost – banishing his fucking soul. Like… holy fuck. If Nico ever wanted to, he could probably completely destroy anything and everything. If his shadow-traveling powers got strong enough - no need to fear the monsters lurking in shadows, because that is one Nico Di Angelo’s terrain. Hell, Nico is fucking known as The Ghost King. The. Ghost. King. He even states in the books: “only the dead respect me…and only out of fear.” Nico’s been though so much fucking shit i’m surprised he hasn’t lost it.

 though some would say in a sense he already has. 

my son who i birthed
