pjo tv show please canonize clarisse/silena bc their patrochilles parallels are the underrated best part of book 5 i am begging you i dont care if its a KYG
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.
the feminine ruge to help your parents or let them destroy themselves, no in-between.
Sometimes I just sit here and think about how Rick really wrote the Gayest, most heartbreaking, angsty love story between Percy and Nico that spanned across 2 book series, just to try and end it with, "lol jk 🤪"
“So, THAT is your comfort character?”
*points at the dead fictional man with a tragic past and unresolved trauma*

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.
if i ever get my first kiss, i want ti be as you all describe it. As poetry talks about it :(
