Thinking about lil Will getting to camp for the first time.
Idk how long it mightve been before he was claimed,could be immediately,maybe a couple weeks-(I always see Apollo kids being claimed the quickest,likely as dramaticly as possible knowing Apollo fhdh)
But just thinking about him being unsure of his place in the Apollo cabin,especially before figuring out his healing abilities.
Not just cause he feels out of place,but the fact he's away from his mom, his still learning about being a demigod.
And him constantly beating himself up over not being able to do the same things as his siblings.
And then he works in the infirmary with Michael the first time and it just clicks. Like he's been doing it his whole life.
But it's that prideful look in Michael's eyes that that makes him feel so much more sure of his place in the infirmary. The fact that Michael tells Lee how well Will did with a gleam in his eyes. Making seem a lot more incredible then Will thought it was.
It just feels right.
Then he goes through his first battle, and he looses Lee and likely his own patients. Maybe even his first lost patient. And he again feels out of place, like he isn't doing enough.
But again. There's Michael,encouraging him, reminding him he did more than enough.
Telling him Lee would be proud.
Only for a year later for him to loose him and so many more too.
But this time he doesn't have time to question himself. So he works. He does the one thing he knows he can do.
And he feels out of place when he can't be useful enough. Even looking at himself in distain in BOO when mentioning he's only a healer. Chiron tries to encourage him, but really what he says in a way that I think just unintentionally encourages Will's view of having to be useful.
When he feels he has no control he again focuses on the work. Austin and Kayla get taken and he has to bury his worry to care for everyone else.
He's willing to go where he knows he'll be practically dieing for whole time,just for someone he loves, again to make sure he's needed,that he's useful even if it kills him. Especially for someone he cares so much about.
I think that's why I love his interactions with Hiss-Majesty.
Here was a Trog who was trying to find their place. Who was figuring themselves out(which- sure I can also go into the metaphors for figuring out your identity as a queer person that I'm sure did not help Will's struggles with finding where he fits-)
And I honestly think that's why Will clicked with them so easily. He looked at Hiss-Majesty and was seeing himself as a little kid again.
And Hiss-Majesty looks at Will the same way he had to Michael. Despite his own struggles, he's able to be to another what Michael was for him.
I love their relationship so much. Hiss-Majesty my beloved.
Will might be still working through his feelings of inadequacy and fitting the high standard he sets for himself. But I do think his interactions with Hiss-Majesty helped him so much.

Something I think about a lot is how Rick Riordan very rarely uses "girlfriend/boyfriend" to refer to Percy and Annabeth within their perspectives. They're so intertwined, even Annabeth says in hoh that the word boyfriend isn't strong enough, because Percy was a part of her. They are a singular soul, too wrapped around each others' fates that regular labels are far too weak for them. But, Rick Riordan uses "boyfriend" a lot in Nico and Wills perspectives, not because they love each other less than percabeth, but to show how much the word means to them. Nico uses it any chance he gets- "his boyfriend," "he actually had a boyfriend," because Nico has never been able to say that before. Their struggle with their queer identities mixed with Nico's catholic guilt and chronic everyone-hates-me disease makes the fact that he has someone to call his actual boyfriend so much more important to his character development.

I was listening to King by Florence and The Machine and the lyrics "I need my golden crown of sorrow my bloody sword to sing these empty halls to echo with grand self mythology" made me remember them

thinking about Nico adjusting to letting himself miss and long for the people he loves. based on these bits from the sun and the star:
" As Nico and Will followed the trogs, he thought about how much he missed Hazel. He was learning to make peace with that feeling. It was okay for him to miss people because that meant he wanted them around in his life. That idea was *very* new for him- he was used to either pushing people away or watching them recoil from his presence." *
" That was the most surreal thing of all... Was he happy? Nico wasn't very familiar with the sensation, but he couldn't deny that he felt wonderful in Will's presence. He even longed for the son of Apollo when they were apart. A funny thing had happened as the two grew closer: Nico suddenly understood all those cheesy, sappy love songs he'd always hated."

I hope at some point in future Riordanverse books there's an interaction that goes something like this:
Person A: Yeah, Percy Jackson is terrifying. I saw him in battle once, and you cannot convince me he's not a god.
Person B: Percy Jackson? The guy who tried to dye Chiron blue while he was sleeping?
