Disabled Nico di Angelo Headcanons

Shortly after the war with Gaea, Nico starts having pain in his back, knees, and hands that can't be explained or healed, and make it difficult to walk and even hold a pen. At first, Nico tries to endure the pain, convinced he was just being dramatic, but after nearly collapsing during training, he finally caves and goes to Will about it. The healer recommends getting a cane and compression gear to see if they can help. Nico is reluctant at first but decides to give a shot, and is pleasantly surprised to discover they help immensely.

Over time, Nico decorates the cane with stickers and keychains that he got from his friends. He develops the habit of tapping the cane on the ground when he's nervous or impatient.

He wears compression gloves for his hand pain. Most people assume he wears them for fashion reasons. They're a bit of a hassle, since he has to constantly take them on and off to do things, but he learns to deal with it. He also wears knee braces, but you usually don't see them because he wears them under his jeans most of the time.

Camp is pretty accessible, and Nico has little trouble getting around. At first, he was afraid of going out in public with the cane, fearing people would see him as weak, but most are accepting of his disability. If anyone dared to give him shit about it, they learned the hard way not to fuck with him.

The aids aren't a miracle cure, and there are still days when Nico can't do things due to the pain being too severe. But he learns to be patient with himself and accept his limits.

The Hephaestus Cabin has offered to make him a cane that can turn into a sword, and Nico is currently helping them figure out the design.

Hades has also offered to get him a small hellhound trained as a service dog if he ever needs it.

headcanon of the day

DISABLED NICO! NICO WITH A CANE THAT TURNS INTO A SWORD! DISABLED NICO! DEAF NICO! I NEED DISABLED NICO! NICO WITH CHRONIC PAIN! PLEASE RICK IM BEGGING!

Should I Add Chronic Pain/Fatigue To My Three Days Fanfiction?

Hey, who remembers that old thread of people drawing pjo characters in their outfits?

Anyways.

(feel free to add your own)

it’s actually really fucking sad that annabeth (and other demigods) are just stuck living at camp full time. like yeah, camp looks great and fun in the summer but it’s also not that big considering the fact it’s their entire world, and it seems really fucking lonely actually. everything they know is within that boundary, everyone they know comes and goes with few exceptions, and there’s no real adults or guidance for the mortal aspects of life. and they’re just stuck there because they feel like they have nowhere they belong in the real world or they’re just not physically safe out there and that’s really fucking sad

Disabled Nico with fibromyalgia (chronic muscle pain), and when he gets a bit older he has to use mobility aides.

Percy, who gets chronic migraines from loud noises, and has the worst insomnia ever.

Leo stimming while having a flashback in his shop.

Annabeth, who has night terrors and paranoia from her abandonment issues.

Pipers PTSD of getting pictures taken because of her early exposure to Hollywood as a child.

Frank trembling and almost breaking down because he spilled his drink, and he thinks he’s going to get yelled at.

Hazel getting chronic pain in her ankles, from when the cave collapsed onto her and her Mom.

Just…mentally or physically disabled demigods

"We need more fictional lgbt found family dynamics that're purely platonic and healthy instead of creepy!!!"You guys can't even handle Nico and Percy,much less admit Percy's been debunked as a bi dude but not as transfem

Me drawing nico with forearm crutches because I can’t afford them at the moment? Obviously.

Will makes custom wrist braces for Nico, but they are constantly getting ruined, so he always makes a backup pair, just in case.

Nico di Angelo has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, dyslexia, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
