#just idk i feel like Will’s Fatal Flaw is underdiscussed along with many apollo children

[fireylesbianhell]

when people (i am people. it’s me.) imagine Nico having powers over grief i think of Will’s never discussed fatal flaw, and i think that it’s that he can’t let go

i think his flaw is something with grief, and being stuck in the past almost. it’s being stagnant and static and unable to properly have especially negative emotions because he has to be people’s rock. he’s sunshine boy and he’s your doctor. He needs to be reliable, he sees his friends die every day, if he breaks down then nothing is stable anymore, nothing is keeping anything afloat.

but the idea of nico, a son of hades, who’s experienced grief like he has and was unable to move on and unable to do what Will can’t do, helping him come to terms with his loss and to “accept his darkness” like persephone said to him.

A first nudge from nico and some support from Kayla and Austin especially (and maybe Drew, the Stoll’s and Clarisse if you headcannon them as friends) he’s able to to it, he cries over the people he lost and he’s angry and selfish about the fact they’re gone and starts to grieve properly.

He starts to change and starts finding little moments of progress everywhere he looks. even though his demons aren’t little actual creatures following him around unlike his boyfriend, he does start comming to term similarly. He’s begun tearing the walls down and talking and letting himself cry on someone else’s shoulder. he lets go and starts to let himself be not okay.

FEELING OVER THAY #another post i saw explained much better than i did the whole “having to save someone worth saving’ doctor mentality if letting people go #and it fits how will was there #anyways i’m just having so many angsty thoughts about him he’s Not Okay #but i like to see TSATS as a book about getting better #that’s the theme i pulled i guess #esp with everything about Nyx #and the coco puffs #nyx can’t move on but bob does. nico does. will does. It’s all about change. #nico di angelo #Will Solace #Solangelo
