His connections

As seen on many occasions throughout the series, Nico is a people person. What I mean by this is that he is very good at making alliances and connections, but not just with other people, but with gods from other pantheons. This is seen in the Italian short story, Un Natale Mezzosangue by Rick Riordan. Nico is shown to be good friends with the Etruscan god Charu. There's no telling how many other connections he has with other gods. One other notable connection is the Trogs, reptilian creatures that burrow underground and can murder a group of people in seconds.

His history with the camps and Zeus

One possible reason Nico would have ended up being a villain in the first place would be because of his history with the camps. He is constantly feared, shunned, and made fun of by the campers. He's given so much for both camps (even almost his life), yet he gets nothing but utter disrespect in return. Another thing I could see adding fuel to the fire would be his past with Zeus. Zeus tried to kill him when he was a young child and murdered his mother in front of him (I can also see him forming an alliance with children of Hecate over this as well because they were also threatened by Zeus). This may be a stretch, but Hades could also be a factor. Hades manipulated him for years and told him he was better off dead. Not to mention he made Minos judge of the dead again after he brainwashed and tortured Nico.

His powers and abilities

Nico is one of the most powerful demigods and probably the most dangerous as well. Apollo, a whole god, said himself that he wouldn't want him as an enemy. Nico can also raise his own army and train with powerful deities. Nico is also a very tactical thinker, he would figure out ways to take the camps down from the inside out.

Other miscellaneous thoughts I have

• This would make total sense for his character since his fatal flaw is holding grudges.

• Once Nico figures out how to control bones inside of people, it's over for everyone (bones, in general, are 50 to 70 percent mineral, and since he has geokinesis he could possibly control bones inside of people)

• Nico as a villain in Heroes of Olympus would have been so much better than Octavian and Gaea

• He would recruit Hazel as his second in command after getting her from the underworld in an attempt of recruiting Bianca.

• Nico could have easily destroyed both camps, and I stand by that. There is a reason Rick didn't make him a villain. He's too powerful.

• Just imagine an entire army made up of various gods from forgotten pantheons, children of Hecate, murderous reptiles, and skeletons. That would be terrifying.

This is dead everywhere is dead and I have a question so I'm going to ask it and hope that y'all see it and answer.

Question:

How do y'all feel about Zoe Nightshade and would you bring her back from the dead if you could?

My opinion on her:

I liked her she was ok she was pretty rude Percy but I mean that's how she was taught. I liked how Rick showed us how truly old she was by not understanding the "dam" joke and she was nice to Thalia and Grover. But she still isn't one of my favorites because mainly she was only in one book so we didn't now her that well and despite how nice and well written she was I wouldn't bring her back because she wasn't that important and there is no need for her to come back to life.

Now I want to y'all's opinions.

I was a little upset the other day because you know, my favorite character is pretty disliked on this fandom and some of the main reasons are ridiculous. It's Piper McLean by the way.

• A lot of people ignore her sexuality, like... I'm not sure why but obviously this bugs me majorly

• She didn't find Percy attractive? This- Is- A- Real- Reason...? Honestly girl? Good for you. We have many characters swooning over him like he's some god (look he himself said he wasn't gonna be) and then people just jump on her for being unimpressed? If she said he was attractive anyways she would be hated on for "liking" him (because of ships and stuff), but finding someone attractive is far from liking them romantically. It's a lose-lose situation.

• She's described as attractive. I don't even know why this is bad but, you know, obviously, enough said on why this is ridiculous.

• She's a tomboy and this is stereotypical or some schist. You know what? If you care this strongly, to judge her choices- well I don't even know what to say. She wants to wear ripped-up jeans and no makeup. Enough said. Nothing wrong with that. She doesn't have a problem with people who like dresses and makeup, she has her own opinions for herself. There's nothing wrong with that.

• Her childhood wasn't as bad compared to the rest of the seven. Okay, FIRST, we judge people on their childhood trauma now? Okay, wow. Second, her only parental figure wasn't around for her from like, kindergarten up (just like Annabeth, but people like her, so you know). She was left with people like Jane, who were emotionally manipulative and thrived on your misery (and also worked for evil people with the goal to ruin your life, so). Then, she turned to (kind of) stealing things as big as cars, and got sent to a "Wilderness School" for troubled kids. At this school, she was bullied mercilessly by prejudiced, racist, and popular kids, and constantly hit on and harassed by a guy after she very clearly told him she was Not Interested (then he tried to kill her but, you know, different story).

Of course, I'm sure there are more "reasons" and counters to all of this, but frankly, I could care less. I didn't do this for discussion, I did this because I needed a place to vent and I'm just not feeling great in my life lately. Have a nice day.

I'm sure that you all know who Nico di Angelo is, as he's quite an important character in the books and in the fandom. He is considered one of the most well-written and relatable characters. CHB fans love to include Nico in fanfictions and memes. Unfortunately, Nico isn't always written accurately.

Nico is canonically a distrustful, shy, and misunderstood character. He carries a lot of trauma and he struggles with social interaction. As the series goes on, Nico finds that he is not alone with his burdens and finds some new friends. He is a very complex character, and that is what makes him so interesting. Fanon however, tends to turn Nico into a very flat character.

His sexuality: I have read many fanfictions in which the main character, who is a girl, ends up with a now single Nico. First of all, Nico is gay. Second of all, Nico is GAY. Gay= Only romantically/sexually liking people of the same gender. Nico=Boy. Gay Boy= Likes boys. It's simple! He's a fictional character, but that doesn't mean you can disregard his sexuality.

Solangelo: This is mostly the memes, but Solangelo is often portrayed inaccurately. Fanon Solangelo is this super cute couple who does everything together and are constantly thinking about each other. What? No. Stop. Solangelo is a relationship that is still starting out (half a year isn't that much) and has its ups and downs.

His actual personality: Okay, there are two main (inaccurate) personalities that Nico has in fanon.

Personality #1: Nico is a smol sweet cinnamon bun who still somehow acts like his ten-year old dorky self. He likes McDonalds and singing the Camp song in a bad voice. Is also Will Solace Simp 01.

Personality #2: Nico is a sulky and depressed teenager. He constantly cries about the tragedies of life and says how he hates himself.

Both of these are extremely one-sided and stereotyped characters. Please, to fanon writers, portray Nico correctly!

Hello everyone! About 5 days ago, I made a post asking for unpopular opinions so I could make a video about them. Well, some people wanted to see the video when it came out so here’s the link :D
