don’t give out your socials to random people. i was just in an among us room with a 14 year old giving out her instagram and asking others for theirs. DO NOT DO THIS.

if someone makes you even the TINIEST bit uncomfortable, block them! don’t feel bad about it. don’t worry that your reason for doing so isn’t “good enough”. just block them.

don’t post any sort of identifying information about yourself. anything beyond like, your first name and the state/country you live in, should be kept to yourself. this goes double for dms with people you don’t know irl.

if anyone asks for your “asl” block them and do not answer. these people are always creeps. i block them as an adult! (asl refers to “age sex location” and the vast majority of people asking this are looking for someone to hit on)

to the minors who follow me:

+ only if you are a british citizen or a uk resident please sign this petition that will help reform the Gender Recognition Act to allow trans people to self id w/out need for a medical diagnosis and to allow nonbinary identities to be legally recognized.

if you are NOT a british citizen/live in the uk DO NOT sign the petition as the goverment will use invalid signatures as an excuse to dismiss the petition and the GRA will not be discussed in parliment.

So i feel I should make a few clarifications. It seems my impression that Catholics and chatolic schools in the US are actually much more strict than in Italy.

I am from Italy, I was baptized as a child, I even had a communion and a confirmation. I’ve always gone to chatolic school (most private schools are). I now (since I was maybe 13/14) consider myself an atheist. Some people seem to think it must be some kind of trauma. I’m not talking about the american catholic experience of course, but about the Italian one, as in Nico’s case.

Catholic school (yes even back then, I can ask my grandparents) didn’t brainwash children or force them to speak latin. Latin is learned from middle school to high school, in every school, so there is no need to learn it in primary school or on different lessons. Also they teach roman latin, not liturgic. Mass is in Italian, has been for over a century, to make it more accessible. At most you might have a few songs in latin.

When you had to take your communion, you would have a preparation course for 6months\1 year where they would teach you about the bible. You would read it, and discuss it. Then you would do your communion, get a lot of gold as a gift and have a huge party. Same goes for confirmation. It is as much a cultural experience as much as religious. Even nowadays most people, even non religious ones still do it, just for tradition. Even though I’m an atheist now, those are still fond memories of time spent with family , the religious aspect was actually a very small part of it. Especially since at that age, you don’t have a too deep conscience of what it means, you just know you are going to have a party with friends and family and many gifts.

Yes, you are baptized as a child, which is why Italy is still nowadays considered predominantly catholic, even though there are plenty of atheists, agnostics, and most religious people don’t actually practice or identify with the church but rather consider their faith as a personal and private thing.

Also our baptism name is the same as our legal name.

I’m not trying to deny anyone’s experience with this, and I’m sure even in italy, some people will have had a better or worse experience, but I’m trying to give a mostly american (or non italian in general) public a view of what catholicism is like in italy.

It depends also on the family you are born into. I doubt Maria Di Angelo, who had two kids from a greek god, who she knew to be a god, would be a strict catholic imposing religion on her children.

He's a Nisei (second-generation immigrant, i.e. his dad was born in Japan and moved to the US)

Aro-ace (stolen from other Tumblr users, ok? I just like the headcanon)

He was born under the epithet of Nemesis Adrasteia - “one from whom there is no escape”

He could actually see the Achilles' heel of bearers of the Curse, because it gave them an unfair advantage in combat (stolen from the CHB Fanon Wiki, I think) - but he still took stabbing Annabeth quite well even though he couldn't get to Percy because her fatal flaw is hubris, which Nemesis works hard to oppose and punish

• He's short. Like, 155-160 cm short (idk what are those in ft) 

• He fiddles with his eye patch a lot when he takes it off

• Tbh this is irrelevant but his favorite animal is tiger because tigers are able to remember people who wronged them in case they see those people again and will take revenge
