Leo: what do you guys think the best way to die is?

Nico: firing squad

Leo: honestly I think it'd be best to just get really old then walk into the woods until you keel over

Will: yeah but do it in the late stages of dimentia

Nico, cackling: bro would be like "where am I?" then keep walking deeper into the woods

Nico, Leo, and Will, dying laughing:

Percy, terrified: what the fuck

Calypso x Leo SUCKS, here is why

Look, I get why that sounds harsh, and it is, but hear me out.

First and most importantly, Calypso is a pedophile. We see her fall in love with 14 year old Percy, then 15/16 year old Leo. Already weird, right? And look, if we got some explanation as to why it would ever be okay for a titaness who is thousands of years old to fall in love with CHILDREN, maybe I could see past it.

BUT in the odyssey myth, Odysseus was MUCH older than a teenager. He was already noted to be an old wise king (who was old enough to feign madness from old age) at the START of the Trojan war. Now that war lasted 10 years and add to that the multiple years he spent traveling to Ithaca, and you got an old-ass man. So either Calypso was already a mature adult, or a child thirsting after some old dude. Sure, it happens, but weird. Let's not forget that Odysseus was married and very much still in love with his WIFE Penelope, but Calypso basically kept him hostage on her island and would not let him leave at all.

Now let's get to Percy, he got blamed for not making sure that the gods kept their promise??? Good sir that is a 16 year old who just got out of a WAR and had his memory stolen, of course he didn't check with the gods. ITS NOT HIS RESPONSIBILITY! He shouldn't be held accountable. Also let me remind you that Calypso wanted him when he was 14. Not a good look.

And finally, we get to Leo. Poor poor Leo. A boy who was oh-so starved for love that he took anything he could get, and that's my explanation as to why Calypso x Leo ever happened. Honestly, I adored Leo. I had a crush on him (still kinda do shhh), I won't lie. However, I also adored Annabeth but since her and Percy are amazing together, I could get behind Percabeth. But Caleo? Hell no. Sure, they have a fun dynamic, but it's more of a sibling dynamic in my opinion. I would've rather had Leo x Khione or something. Maybe Leo x Echo cause that would've been adorable. But Caleo??? No. He should've never gone back for her. Leave her to rot.

Secondly, Calypso is simply a jerk. And I'm the type of person who adores asshole characters when done right. Octavian is great because he's an irredeemable asshole AND he gets karma. But Calypso? She's a bitch and gets such a kindhearted boyfriend in return. Like I said, she tried to pressure a (married) man into sleeping with her and is simply a dick to Leo (HER BOYFRIEND) and I could understand if they were siblings, cause siblings are dicks to eachother with love underneath, but she just sucks. She immediately hated him, which she has reason to do after what happened to her, but even after that she was just horrible to Leo. I seriously don't see why he loves, likes, or even tolerates her.

In conclusion, I hate what Rick did to Leo. I adore his stories like no other (which is why I'm so passionate about this), but he really fumbled the bag here. Calypso is just not a good fit for Leo.

Personally I really do prefer Leo x Jason, Leo x Nico or even Leo x Echo. And yes it does sound weird for me to say that considering that I call Calypso a pedo, but I could see Echo not being able to age normally because of being stuck with Narcissus. Echo x Leo is in my opinion much better than Calypso x Leo.

Um sorry- that was really mean but I needed to say that.

On a lighter note I saw this really long worm which was cool! :D

to back up my previous claim let’s play a game called SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

Will: You have to apologize to Leo

Nico: Fine.

Nico: 'Unfuck you' or whatever.

I kind of forgot I had this account, but I made some sketches... I'm sorry

Ngl it bothers me when I’m reading AU fics that have Nico in them and he has the same personality that he does in canon if the AU is written where he doesn’t have any trauma… cuz like… y’all know him being sad and depressed and a loner isn’t his default setting right? He was canonically a very bubbly nerd and he would’ve stayed that way if all that shit didn’t happen to him.

Like obvi since there’s so little fics of my fave nico ships I’ll read them all XD it’s just a nitpick because then I worry if I write something with bubbly Nico people would call it OOC or smth… like no besties I swear… you just don’t get him like I do… /j

Thank you so much @rosesradio for this idea!

nico is emo. motorcycles are emo. leo would love a badass motorcycle boyfriend. nico on a motorcycle would cause gay panic which equals maximum valdangelo vibes

:)

*(sorry for low res, click image to enhance lol)*

Solvalangelo is just Will believing no one can be worse than Nico at taking care of themselves

And then he meets Leo

Mentally ill about Valdangelo again.

What the fuck is wrong with them why are they like that they won’t leave my brain.

Anyway, I think my problems would go away if they just kissed. 

(leo could be replaced with percy meg will or literally anyone tbh) platonic valdangelo go brrrrr

Please imagine if TSATS was Valdangelo and the second impulsive ADHD Leo saw the Phlegethon, he just,,, jumped in. Cause he's immune to fire and thinks it'd be a great idea to go for a swim. And Nico just sighs and watches Leo cough up fire water cursing and complaining and crawling to shore and Nico just looks at him and says, "so, what did we learn today?" And Leo is still coughing up fire but he responds "swimming in fire bad. Got it."

nico prefers to listen to classical music when listening through headphones. not for any edgy reason but because he doesn't like the sound of voices in his ears because it reminds him of the voices of the dead. in fact, he listens to music to drown them out.

leo loves to make and listen to instrumental music/electronic music, so when he learns about nico not liking songs with lyrics he makes him music. pre relationship he uses it as a way to bond.

Valdangelo ~ AU [Angel and Demon]

Nico di Angelo was an angel that no one believed to be until he stated his name.

Leo Valdez was a demon that no one would ever take for anything else.

The both of them have been at each other's throat for centuries if not millennia and everyone knew of their peculiar relationship.

And the two boys were madly in love with each other with none of them knowing or even realizing it, while anyone thought those feelings to be obvious.

@them-awesome-rarepairs

You cannot tell me Nico and Leo wouldn’t have been besties

Leo definitely goes on lovesick rants to him 24/7 (because Nico is also a Valgrace shipper)

Valdangelo, but I got too lazy when I finished Nico's drawing, so I made Leo like this

Also, look at him, look how cute he is

this man is in love
