Bag UPDATE!

Tis the season

"I love u Nico di Angelo," will says his cerulean orbs shining with tears. His cheeks were red like roses and his shiny golden hair glistened under the evil Tartarus light. "I love u to the stars my young padawan...."

"no-" Nico growled moodily and emolike. He rolled his dark abyss colored eyes and glared at the ground, an uncharacteric blush flooding his cheeks. "I love you-" he spat out, gothly. "Like... the sun."

Which was true. Nico might've been darkness... but will solace... Will Solace was his sun...

THE SUN + THE STARS, OUT WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD NOW

Nah but fr you can't convince me that Jason Grace didn't have high functioning depression and you can't tell me he wasn't a least a bit passively suicidal like you can't tell me you read "In fact the nectar tasted like liquid sawdust, but Jason kept that to himself. Ever since he’d resigned his praetorship, ambrosia and nectar didn’t taste like his favorite foods from Camp Jupiter. It was as if the memory of his old home no longer had the power to heal him" and thought oh this kid is ok literally ambrosia tasted like NOTHING to him do you understand????? no memories or tastes mad him happy???? Do you understand he got stabbed in BOO and admitted to wanting to slip away after seeing his mother's ghost but it was PIPER who kept him fighting and it was PIPER who reassured him that he wouldn't turn out like his mother and that Jason's life threatening wound only healed itself AFTER Jason found a purpose in helping Percy and building the statues. Do you understand.

I forgot to post this on trans day of visibility.

see you next year, loves.

My weak ass contribution to quillock

Ok but have we addressed Apollo's need for perfectionism and how that relates to being the former golden child and how that never really goes away?

How he desperately needs to do everything perfectly and if it's not perfect then he thinks he has failed, no—he believes he IS the failure. That he's not worth anything.

How that was already reflected even before his trials when he went to Percy and Grover to fetch his lyre while he kept practicing for his performance? How he felt the performance could not go on with just three out of four of his golden singers.

When given that new instrument by Leo, how he felt the need to try and master it right away? How he wanted to keep practicing, to get it right.

Sure, he complains about needing to practice but that's not what he was truly upset about. He is used to practicing, he is used to learning. What he was so upset about that he swore an oath on the Styx was the fact that he had already been perfect, he had mastered archery, and music, and then he suddenly lost it all. Apollo was a perfect archer. Apollo was a perfect musician. These were skills that supported his self esteem, his sense of self, these had always been truths, being perfect at these things mattered to Apollo. No matter how he failed at other things, these had always remained constant, he could always reassure himself of his worth.

This is why losing it is like a punch to the gut.
