I really like that they made Jor-El speak Kryptonian and Clark unable to understand him. The whole "aliens speak English" thing that happens in every goddamn media has bothered me all my life. Ik sometimes Clark just gets zapped in the brain for insta-second language but that always felt like a cheap shortcut.
Jor-El had a lot on his mind when he set up that magic spaceship okay. The world was ending and he was trying to do as much as he could before time ran out so he could be there for his son. He was rushing. He likely didn't consider Kal would be raised with a whole different language and not know any Kryptonian nor have anyone to teach him.

I think that once Nico gets comfortable with touch from his friend groups (through efforts by Hazel, Will, and Jason), he becomes REALLY touchy. Like I think he's the kind of person who always tries to tuck himself up against his friends's sides, he tries to hold their hands whenever they're walking, he likes to play with their hair or mess with their fingernails or do SOMETHING to get his hands on them, just so he can feel their heart beating, hear their pulse in his ears.
I think he gets really good at asking about boundaries (like is it okay to hug people, is it alright if he braids their hair, whatever) and it's good for both him, learning how to set boundaries and finally getting to demonstrate affection after who knows how many years alone, but it's also good for his friends, who start to pick up on how they could be setting their own boundaries in other places.
m just thinkin about like, 16-17 year old Nico who is so open and free compared to the kid he was just a couple years ago, a mid-teens Nico who's confident and mostly happy and comfortable with his friends. a Nico who finally has community and safety and love from every corner, yknow?
(I think that this also means Nico naps with his friends SO often. like people often find him curled up under Thalia's pine with his head tipped onto Jason's shoulder, find him and Leo slumped in one of the workshops around camp, find him and Annabeth curled up together around an open textbook, him and Will asleep tangled up on a cot in the infirmary. He and Hazel like to take naps in the little garden behind the Hades cabin, he and Percy even sometimes nap on the beach even though Nico always wakes up sunburnt and complains about the sand.)

‘andrew goes to the roof bc his fear of heights reminds him that he’s Human and Can Feel’ is the most wattpad angst kind of shit and it SHOULD be laughable in the same way ‘neil doesn’t smoke he just lights his cigarette bc the smell reminds him of his dead mother’ is laughable but in all honesty if i think about it for more than 2 seconds i WILL start sobbing violently

Thinking about a scenario where Mc was just casually scanning the outside of cocytus hall when a cat suddenly popped out from the bushes. They tried luring it inside the hall, y'know for some company and entertainment while Solomon is out doing his business, using some leftover tuna and toys.
Mission complete. It's inside the hall now. Sniffing and examining the corners of the rooms. But not even a few minutes, it acts like it owns the place, knocking over vases and scratching the sofa. When Solomon came home, he was delighted by the sight of the new furry visitor.
"Ah, what's this little guy doing here?" He gently lifted the feline in the air.
"I found him in the yard. Can we keep him?" Mc pleaded.
He brought the cat to his face and rubbed it against his belly, "I don't mind. I was just thinking of how lonely you can get when I'm out and you have the whole place to yourself."
Mc giggled. Amused by how Solomon carries the cat with his arms like a baby and playing with it using a cat toy he conjured out of thin air.
"...You know, this kinda makes us feel like a complete family. There's you, me, and a cat," they point at the two.
He stopped for a moment and looked at Mc in the eye. There's a hint of fascination and delight in his eyes when they mentioned the word 'family'.
"...I like the sound of that."
