Comunque Se Manu E Simone Litigano Sarebbe La Cosa Più In Character, Almeno Parlano

"Sei una spia", SÌ TESTA DI CAZZO, SÌ MANNAGGIA AI SANTI, TACI

My favorite headcanons about the Di Angelo family. I have a genuine interest in them, so please bear with me!

Maria di Angelo was born in 1909 and met Hades and Persephone in 1932, during a party at the Italian embassy in the US. She had Bianca in 1933, and Nico in 1935 (I refuse in any way Rick's idea that the two were born at the end of the 20s, it doesn’t make with the timeline, but when does it make sense?)

She had an older brother, Michele, who was born in 1907, a younger sister, Elisabetta, born in 1919, and an older cousin, Giulio, born in 1908

Giulio went to live with them after the death of his father during WW1 because he was already an orphan of his mother, who died during childbirth. They grew up all together

These four kids didn't have many friends, except for the Adriani siblings, Alessandro (1906) and Vittoria (1909, but younger than Maria)

The Adriani are from both Naples and Rome (because of an arranged marriage), while the Di Angelo are from around Venice

The two families became friends because the two fathers met during the war and continued to see each other after the end of it because they both went into politics. The Di Angelo's became an ambassador, while the Adriani's a senator

During her adolescence, Maria had a little crush on Alessandro, but he always saw her as a little sister

Maria had a relationship with both Hades and Persephone but decided to cut it after Nico's birth, not because she wanted to but to protect her children from her father and older brother

She and Alessandro got married, to help her, but also to hide the relationship between Alessandro and Giulio (it was her idea, and she knows everything). They got married in 1937

Vittoria is Maria's best friend and always supported her

Ironically, I think Di Angelo's flower symbol is a white chrysanthemum, and Maria gave one to Michele before he went to Russia

All the family died during the war, while the Adriani siblings survived and are the only ones who remember them as people and not as symbols

The two parents died a few months before Italy's entrance into the war, Giulio and Elisabetta both died of pneumonia in 1942 (early year), while Michele died of hypothermia in Russia during the retreat (1943). Maria died because of Zeus, obv (in 1944)

Nobody in Italy knows what happened to Maria and her kids, even though Alessandro and Vittoria tried to find them. They became some sort of urban legend

Alessandro was sent to Africa during the war, hoping to see them again once he returned, but that never happened

Plus, I think Hades amplified Maria's sight. You know, when mortals can see over the Mist? Yeah, Maria could manipulate also her dreams, but this led her to make some sort of contact with Naomi Solace. The two of them started to see each other every night, and both of them started to develop some feelings for each other, a mix of eros and agape, something like that

Some of Naomi's songs are about her, like "Girl of the Forest" or "Fallen Angel" (I know, they are cringe titles, I'm very sorry!)

Naomi still dedicates some songs to Maria, even though she knows she's not here anymore

Plus, during HoO, when Argo II is in Venice, Nico, Hazel, and Frank meet a group of friends who are wandering in the city. They are very similar physically to Nico's relatives and one girl in particular reminds him of Maria. They aren't their reincarnations, but they are similar to them. This girl is also obsessed with Naomi's music and Di Angelo's story

And those are my main headcanons about them, right now I cannot think of others, but if I have others, I will share!

Nicola CHE CHIAMA LA POLIZIA SAPEVO DI POTERMI FIDARE

Ma perché parliamo, perché speriamo??? Piango

Ho passato la serata a elencare i difetti di un profe alla mia amica di teatro e alla fine mi ha chiesto perché la guardassi se è così brutta e le ho risposto che è la mia serie preferita

I'm literally screaming! Ahhhhhhh, the Asphodels Meadows are wonderful, and I think they are a reference to Dante's "Inferno"!

Especially the 13th Canto, which is about the punishment of suicides, where the souls are transformed into trees and plants, bound to the ground, and then tortured by the Harpies, who destroy their branches.

That Canto is also a reference to the Aeneid because at the beginning of the poem, Aeneas arrived on a land with the fugitive Troyans and decided to offer something to the Gods. He found a myrtle plant (Aphrodite/Venus' sacred plant) and took some branches, which bleed, indicating something was not normal. That plant was, in reality, the corpse of Polydorus, one of the princes of Troy. He was killed by the man who sweared to protect him from the war in order to obtain his gold. Because he was not completely buried, his soul couldn't enter the Underworld, so Aeneas gave him the proper burial and freed him.

Also, in the Canto, the story of Pier delle Vigne, the soul that talks to Dante and Virgil, is a story of loyalty, betrayal, and regret because he was really loyal to his king and yet he killed himself because of the shame he was feeling.

Sometimes, I feel like this, and I feel crazy, but IT'S THERE, I REALLY SWEAR!

E lo ha fatto. 10 minuti dopo

Comunque il rapporto tra viola e suo padre è meraviglioso. Sono proprio carini, davvero

Veramente, come abbiamo potuto pensare che potessero funzionare?? Anita ha dei seri problemi con gli uomini, Dante vede le donne come degli sfoghi sessuali, una relazione più negativa di così non può starci

destiel wishes they were them (mimmone)
