Fellas Is It Gay To Kiss Women

Honestly, Nico being Catholic doesn't make any sense to be if we look at the timeline of the story. I'm just gonna break this into a bit of a timeline because typing it as a paragraph is giving me a headache, but:

Sometime around 1920-30, Maria di Angelo meets & falls in love with the god Hades. She is fully aware he is the greek god of the afterlife, and knows that he is married to Persephone, but still they begin a relationship.

Sometime around 1925-1932, Maria gives birth to Bianca & Nico di Angelo, with Hades as the father for both children. Presumably Hades is at least a somewhat active presence in both children's life, as he still continues his relationship with Maria.

Sometime around the start of WWll, Hades tries to convince Maria to move herself & their children to the underworld in order to protect them. Maria refuses, saying that she will not raise her children away from her family. The di Angelos leave Italy & stay in a hotel in the US. While in this Hotel, Nico is playing mythomagic cards with a boy his age, & calls Ares pretty. After this the boy stops talking to him.*put a pin in this bc im gonna talk about how stupid it is later.

Shortly after, Maria is killed by Zeus as a result of this decision. Hades mourns her greatly, & has his children's memories wiped completely in the river lethe before sending them to the Lotus Hotel. Nico is (presumably) 9, & Bianca is 12.

Nico is able to regain some information/memories of his childhood, either from accounts from other people or his own memories starting to return. Either way, his memory is not fully restored by the end of Heros of Olympus. (bro got bathed in the river lethe. it's actually a miracle he has any memories of his first 9 years at all.)

he was also fuzzy! here he is at 4 week old, fully furred:

then at 6 weeks, you can see his fur is thinning:

by 8 weeks, nudity had set in:

and by the time I brought him home, he was entirely a pink raw chicken:

after they lose the kitten coat, the adult coat starts growing in, but it can take up to 1.5 years! eventually, he will be as fluffy as his mom
