Its like they're all participating in some "say you're an antishipper without saying you're an antishipper" trend.

Yes, you can ship canonically gay men with women and canonical lesbians with men (and you can ship asexuals).

Before Lester mentioned the word “gay”, Nico’s sexuality was totally unknown and never confirmed, it was only known that he liked guys in house of Hades. He could have been written as bi or pan or any other sexuality that happened to like guys as well as other genders.

I do not really consider Trials of Apollo as part my cannon in my imaginary world of PJO and HoO that lives in my head. Nico is not exactly gay to me he just also likes dudes. Yes I do ship him with girls sometimes on occasion. I like Percicobeth (both versions where Nico and Annabeth are just besties that are starring Percy or where they’re together romantic) and sometimes I like Thalico or Nico / Sadie plus a whole bunch of other guys in the riordanverse. There are a lot more guys that I ship him with more often than girls but that’s not the point.

my point is : people who ship Nico with girls (as long as they also ship him with guys or at least consider him to be not straight) are really not the evil villains yall are making us out to be. We’re not “erasing a character’s sexuality”. We simply perceive Nico’s sexuality (and possibly other parts of his characteristics) differently than you do and that’s not a bad thing. Remember: we don’t wright the cannon. And if you like cannon gay Nico that’s great for you. But please be open to people who see things differently.

Especially since this all fiction anyway. It’s fiction. It’s fantasy. You don’t have to take things like this so seriously. If you believe Nico (or at least your version of him) is just gay and is not attracted to girls / does not have relationships with girls then that’s just fine and dandy you keep doing that you keep doing you. But please don’t go attacking people and calling them evil just because they perceive a character in a different light than you do.

solangelo- I mean it’s not my fave. Really rushed we didn’t even get to see their development but it was really cute and they seem like a good match ig

percico- PERCICO!!! NIERCY!! YIPEEEEEEE comfort ship frfr they’re so cute bro im giggling I love Percico

valdangelo- I LOVE VALDANGELO TOOOOO AUAJJSJSSSJSHAH. Theyre so silly bruh they make me happy but not as happy as Percico makes meeeeee

jasico- I like jasico in a one sided way. Like like Jason didn’t even realize liking boys was an option until he realized Nico was gay and he just. Admires him from afar. Idk

nicobaster- OOHHHH THESE TWO WOULD BE SO GOOD TOGETHER I LOVE NICOBASTER TOOO:3 they also seem really adorable and enemies to lovers esc idk nicobaster is cute

franico- I mean it’s a ship alr. No hate to you if you ship it that’s awesome sauce fire rare pair dude but I honestly just see Frank and Nico as brothers

nicotavian- I actually really like this ship a lot they’re both fucking evil Nico is just quieter abt it and like. Idk they’re cute

percicobeth- I mean. Again it’s a ship alr. I don’t have a comment on it I don’t even know. I like this ship in a polycule way ig but even then I don’t think Nico would mix well with Percy if he was also with Annabeth if that makes sense.

reynico/thalico/nicobeth/ etc etc- I mean??? Okay here’s the thing if you ship a canonically gay character with a girl will I judge you? Yes. Will I care? Yes. But I’ll be quiet abt it so do what you want I suppose. My thing is that I’ve known that Nico is canonically gay since like the titans curse. It’s been cemented in my mind for years and years and years now that he only likes guys so it’s really hard for me to imagine him with a girl but maybe that’s just me.

These are only for romantic pairings, not platonic.

The ships in the polls are the twelve (12) most popular ships for each character based on the number of fics on AO3. The fandom's top two ships (you know the ones) aren't included in these polls to make the results actually interesting (sorry not sorry).

F.A.Q.
