This Man Right Here Had The Audacity To Wear Glasses Because, As He Told Akane, He Never Liked His Face

Arthur and John with a side of the carnal canine poetic. This line from Isle of Dogs really resonated with me for them hehe. + Arthur is using a cane in this drawing and I need everyone to know because it’s my fav headcanon.

september is apparently suicide awareness/prevention month, so shout out to all the babes who thought they wouldnt still be here, love you all, life is hard but we continue the long walk home

perpetually torn between:

taking classic literature seriously and over analysing every detail so that I can deeply understand themes, motifs and references and absorb every poetic quote into my being OR treating classics as if they were just silly little stories about silly little gay people doing the most weird, unhinged and out of context shit ever (which they are)

Give me a scene where Persephone begrudgingly teaches Nico some plant magic, a scene where he's absolute ass at it, a scene where Persephone scoffs and wonders why she bothers, a scene where Nico doesn't give up, even though a part of him sneers at the attempt.

Give me a scene where Hades picks Nico up to run an errand and wonders why his son stares at the dirt, a scene where Persephone curiously watches the demigod try over and over again, a scene where it works: a little daisy.

Give me a scene where Nico is crying as more daisies pop up around him because he's so used to death around him, he really thought he was never going to be capable of giving life.

Give me a scene where Persephone softly chides him for thinking like that because in reality he already had given life before, so many times — to that boy who wouldn't have plunged himself into the Styx if it weren't for Nico, to that girl who would have known nothing beyond the fields she roamed, to demigods from both camps alike. Throughout his time in the mortal world, all Nico has done is given life.

Give me a scene where Nico gifts bouquets to Hazel, Reyna, and Hestia, a scene where Nico runs a little flower shop with Meg and Apollo is their most generous patron, a scene where Nico braids flowers into Annabeth's corsage before her wedding with Percy.

Give me a scene that parallels the grass that wilted by Nico's feet when he's grieving for Jason, a scene where beautiful, resplendent honeysuckles, chrysanthemums, sunflowers, and gardenias bloom at the steps of Elysium when Nico reunites with Bianca, with his mother, with Jason, with everyone he missed in the mortal world.

Give me a scene where Persephone muses that even in death, Nico brought life, something that shouldn't have been possible. Then again, she thinks, anything was possible for the son of Hades whose love was so strong it brought the dead back to life.

Natalie Díaz, from “American Arithmetic”, Postcolonial Love Poem (2020)

there is a love in which i will always know you, just incase you forget.

love elizabeth s.

okay, hold on now. i think we need to count on fingers exactly how many powers nico has because as much as i loved tsats i think oshiro and rick really depowered him in the book as compared to the previous ones.

(no tsats spoilers, except for the third and fourth bullet points under 'will can'.)

nico can:

(titan's curse) make cracks appear in the ground and summon skeletons from the underworld.

(battle of labyrinth) summon and control spirits with some chanting.

(battle of labyrinth) cleave the ground open with his sword, and send spirits back to the underworld even if they don't wanna go.

(battle of labyrinth) control the earth. he made those boulders collapse by clapping his hands. i think rick just forgot about it later tbh.

(battle of labyrinth) kill people just by staring at them (daedalus), given that they've been cheating death for 2000 years or so.

(last olympian) wield stygian iron, call hordes of skeleton soldiers to fight titans, and shadow travel.

(blood of olympus) project his negative emotions onto people to such an extent that it disorients them and makes them nearly faint. lower the temperature (what).

(blood of olympus) TURN PEOPLE INTO GHOSTS BY LOOKING AT THEM AND THEN SEND THEM INTO THE UNDERWORLD VIA FALLING STRAIGHT DOWN.

(blood olympus) CONTROL DREAMS. UHM. TF. (remember reyna looking at him and going 'just how powerful is this kid?')

(blood of olympus) overpower six fully armoured roman warriors in swordfighting and knock them all out in ten seconds flat.

(tower of nero) turn indestructible bulls into a living carcass that follows his every command.

(tower of nero) actually make a human's skin wither away until they're a mindless skeleton that again follows nico's every command. yes, you read that right, he can turn people into walking skeletons just by touching them.

nico can't:

not eath blue birthday cake.

might have missed some but that list is long. i once again am furthering my 'nico is the most powerful demigod alive rn' agenda. oh, and we can't not mention will solace in a post about nico di angelo.

will can:

heal people with hymns.

glow in the dark.

shoot out light from his chest. (he's so cringe, i love him.)

give the protogenos of night a very snotty hay fever.

will can't:

play violin.

refuse to give nico forehead kisses.
