That One Outsider

Jason grabbed Nico, huh. And then flew with him.

the mutterings of a romantic foreign language

the corn simile

sass is great, and so is silence — but when aren’t they using their biting wit? when do they speak up? do they use their ass-kicking skills for good? for evil? have they lost people along the way — actually, it’s inevitable, so what happened after the funeral? did your character attend? did they seek revenge, or search for answers at the bottom of a bottle? 

don’t toss around tragedies if you’re not going to apply them to your characterization. alcoholics aren’t just loud and physically abusive; ptsd doesn’t mean you’ve boarded up the windows and refuse to leave your house. you won’t always continue to hate your parents after they’ve died. you will doubt your life decisions. being rich doesn’t make you sexy. being smart doesn’t make you socially awkward [ alternatively, it doesn’t make you the most attractive person in the room. ] even if you’re wicked smart, you’ll still get some things wrong. 

do your research. if you put your character through traumatic events, not everyone walks away unscathed. but being haunted by the ghosts of your past doesn’t make you attractive either. it’s a nitty gritty, dirty fucking business. you get mad, your world loses color, you feel alone, and sometimes you ask yourself why you’re the one who lived. 

treat your character like their own person. just because you wouldn’t say something to someone doesn’t mean they’ll keep their trap shut. it doesn’t mean they’ll want a big wedding or fast cars or apple pie made the way your mother taught you. maybe you’re pro-life and your character is pro-choice. maybe it’s vice versa. just because your character is a dick doesn’t mean it should be a reflection on yourself. but if they’re going to be a dick, and you want it to be believable, give them a reason to be a dick. a reason to hate the world, only slightly less than they hate the people living in it. maybe more. maybe it’s maybelline.

being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterward

one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other

pressing their foreheads together while kissing

speaking normally, then after the kiss their voice is hoarse

guys furrowing their brow when kissing passionately

staring at the other’s lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in

running their thumb over the other’s lips

when they lean forward a fraction as if to kiss the other person, then realize they shouldn’t and pull back to stop themselves

ripping the other away - “no we shouldn’t” - but when they kiss them again they moan and hold them close

one sliding their hand into the other’s hair slowly

their entire body freezing for a second when their love kisses them

accidentally being forced inches apart from each other, staring at each other’s lips, and just before they kiss someone pulls them back apart

when one stops the kiss to whisper “I’m sorry, are you sure you-” and they answer by kissing them more

a hoarse whisper “kiss me”

•Percy would be just the one to talk about weird encounters he has throughout his week •He’ll talk about the lady who started hitting him with an umbrella on the street •or the time a duck chasing him for no fucking reason •Annabeth would be a crash course bitch •she would be talking about how to do like fucking pinned squares and math •GEOMETRY •JASON WOULD DO SCIENCE •he would try to do stupid expieremwnt a and just fail miserably •his channel would be called ScienceDogSparky •PIPER •oh shit •she would do monster face tutorials •and she would look scary as hell and be the best bitch for Halloween ever •Frank Zhang •this guy would so be all about doing WORKOUT VIDEOS •"ALRIGHT GUYS SO TODAY WE ARE DOING A CARDIO WORKOUT SO GET LOTS OF WATER I DON’t NEED YOU PASSING OUT ON ME PLEASe" •Hazel would be all about talking about art tutorials. •just art in general •art •LEO •THIS GUY WOULD BE DOING THOSE “HOW TO” VIDEOS •"How to pick up all da ladies" and he would be like a sweetheart doing it •He is the new Thomas Sanders basically •Reyna would have a cooking channel •She is the next Bitchin Kitchen •"Alright guys so today I’m making some Caesar salad and what we are gonna do is" *stabs a bottle of Caesar dressing* “TOTALLY JUST STAB CAESAR” •NICO WOULD HAVE A HORROR GAMING CHANNEL •And he would be like •"HA THIS IS NOTHING" •But he gets scared really damn easily falling out of his chair or screaming and cowering on his chair looking at the screen eyes wide •Will making appearances •looking at Nico like he’s insane when he’s screams totally unfazed by the horror

•Bonus:

Since he wakes up in a dumpster I am praying for Percy to be the one to find him and not know it’s Apollo so he ends up calling him “Dumpster Baby.” Please Rick I would sell my first born for this

Bad haikus

WOULD APOLLO HAVE TO DEAL WITH A CRACKING PUBERTY VOICE SINCE HE’S A MORTAL TEEN? COULD YOU IMAGINE?

Apollo kids mentally cringing because oh my god it’s him please go away no I don’t want to hear a haiku dad gO AWAY

Jason and Apollo having to share a cabin and Apollo trying to have conversations with Jason at one am but Jason is about to fling the sun god into the actual sun

APOLLO ARRIVING BEFORE LEO COMES BACK AND FINDING A BOX IN ZEUS’S CABIN FULL OF LEO’S STUFF. JASON WALKS IN WHEN APOLLO FINDS IT AND STARTS SCREAMING AT HIM HOW NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH THAT AND APOLLO IS COMPLETELY IN SHOCK BECAUSE… I’M A GOD??? JASON IS YELLING AT A GOD??? WHO’S STUFF IS THIS???

But Jason ends up telling Apollo about Leo and for the first time Apollo actually feels really bad for the demigods because this kid was like fifteen and sacrificed himself in war. He never thought about this stuff since he was too busy doing his immortal god business but now he’s realizing how being a half blood might actually suck much more than the gods make it out to be. Cue Apollo’s character development.

Apollo kicking butt in battle

APOLLO AND FRANK ZHANG BEING BEST BUDDIES WHO BOND OVER ARCHERY BECAUSE I NEED MORE FRANK ZHANG

All these demigod losers and their loser children (this took so godamn long and like?? quality?? good?? whaaatttt????)

Percy’s kids were super fun to draw and I also think that I have a crush on Emmi (Hazel and Frank’s BAMF daughter)

i wanted to start writing a very excited will tagging along a suffering nico but hear me out

nico. loves. fairs.

the moment they arrive at the fair his eyes just start glowing

cue: actual nine year old nico di angelo

which involves a whole bunch of adorable things like:

nearly ripping off wills arm because oMFG LOOK AT THIS

and teasing him when he doesnt want to go on that one rollercoaster

‘dont be such a baby william’

and eating all the ice cream and all the cotton candy and all the churros and all the other delicious country fair things that start with c

‘youre gonna get sick’

‘ffs live a little will this is really good’

at first will is taken a bit off guard by all this excitement because its really rare for nico

but then he just starts beaming along because

how can he frown when nico is so happy???

later on he snaps a few shots and videos of happy nico to the others

Jason and piper react like the proud parents they are

percy orders will to bring him some of that cotton candy but not after making sure nico ate as much of it as possible

since i like to caption solangelo moments in pictures: the sun is Setting, will has an arm wrapped arounf nicos neck and squishes him up to his side while taking the Selfie, a wide grin on both of their faces, their cheeks red from laughing, the lights of the fair reflecting in both of their eyes

I’ve been writing these in my notebook for weeks, and now I finally have enough to share.

Will doesn’t really freak out over every little cut or bruise Nico has, He just pretends to so he can kiss them better.

Will is a Dreamworks fan, Nico is Disney.

Will’s favourite Dreamsworks movie is Monsters vs Aliens. Nico’s is Megamind.

They both agree on Hercules for Disney.

Will loves it visually when Nico ties up his hair, but he also loves running his hands through it. He has an inner struggle every time Nico does so.

Nico’s super romantic in the big gesture sort of way.

Will’s a doof at romance and only knows how to do every day sorts, which Nico never notices.

Nico bites his nails so short they bleed, then he has to hide them from Will to avoid an hour long lecture.

Will is a very intense kisser, easily overpowering Nico.

Nico feels a tingle every time Will touches him. They eventually learn it’s Will’s sun powers mixing with Nico’s shadow powers, but he doesn’t feel it with any other Apollo camper.

Once Nico gets used to Will touching him, he becomes very cuddly, always holding Will’s hand and leaning on him.
