Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

#pjo #percy jackson #nico di angelo #Percy shows up at CJ and squints at Nico like ''hm. why do i feel like i hate you? like i just wanna punch you in the face?''#and Nico just immediately goes ''huh no idea anyways i have to go-'' and jumps into Tartarus #but not before he gives Hazel essentially a detailed explanation of ''this is Percy i cant say much but please dont let him die <3''#and Nico's whole Tartarus trip was basically a whole ''im doing this so no one else has to''#only for Percy and Annabeth to fall in like one book later and Nico proceeds to spend the next book internally screaming about it #and then Cupid calls him out on it and the next book #Nico's just like ''at this point im hoping i keel over within the next week just so i can force this dumb crush to chill the fuck out''#Nico staring pointedly at Will: ''For my own sake i need to form another crush RIGHT NOW so i can finally get over Percy.''#''this has been so bad for my health''#Nico's crush on Percy is just too funny to me. horrible pick my guy. terrible job. love that for you. he could not be less interested.#Percy LITERALLY TRIES TO KILL NICO and ditch him in the underworld and Nico is somehow STILL like ''but i love him''#Percy basically chokes him. beats up his dad. tells him ''go get smited by your dad for me.'' and ditches him.#and Nico's opinions/crush on him DO NOT CHANGE #though also Nico's reaction to Percy beating up his dad + skeletons is SO funny. his jaw is on the floor. he's flustered about it.#he just witnessed Percy be incredibly hot and proceeded to go ''yea i'll do anything for this man. collect reinforcements of 3 gods? sure''#nico you absolute DISASTER with HORRIBLE TASTE. you can do better. raise your standards.#which tbh is funnier when you factor in sun and the star. Nico just wont stop crushing on guys who dislike him and everything he stands for

Conversations I’ve had or things my friends and family have said as my favorite characters

Voltron legendary defender

Lance: That moment when you realize that that emo phase you had in high school wasn’t just a phase…

Keith: Oh I always knew it wasn’t a phase.

Lance: I’m not lazy I just gave up.

Pidge: New quote for Facebook!

Keith: Agh! I give up! (proceeds to try at least 12 more times)

Shiro: I put noodles in the microwave and forgot about them for 40 minutes. I am not a functioning adult.

(Lance, Pidge, Hunk, and Keith sitting in the space mall)

Hunk: Hey is that guy wearing a cape?

The other three: WHERE?!

Hunk: Oh, no it was just his jacket.

Keith: Well back to downloading emo music.

Hunk: Hahaha!

Keith: No really, there’s so much…

Percy Jackson and the Olympians/ Heroes of Olympus/ Trials of Apollo

Will: No you’d know if Nico cooked it, he has this aura of death that just seems to rot everything he touches.

Jason: If he heard you say that he’d have the biggest smile on his face.

Percy: What’s safe soup?

Grover: It says Super Stop.

Percy: Nail rifle? What the heck is a nail rifle?

Grover: That says Nail File.

(Over text)

Piper: Hey so do you have this book yet?

Piper: Hello, do you have this book or do you want me to buy it for you?

Piper: ANNABETH CHASE DO YOU WANT THIS BOOK OR NOT?!!!

(2 hours later)

Annabeth: Yes!

Piper: Yes you want it or yes you have it?

Piper: I bought it already.

Annabeth: Yes I want it.

Piper: Good if you said you had it I’d stab you in your sleep.

Percy to Nico: Basically all I remember from my dream last night was you and I playing snakes and ladders and betting money and Will was cheering you on the whole time.

Nico: He better have.

Percy: Yeah he even paid into the pot, might have only been about $4, should we try this someday?

Nico: Okay.

Percy: Family game night with a twist!

Piper: I pissed Annabeth off by getting a song stuck in her head.

Percy: Which one?

Piper: She took one foot off of the couch and said “one foot in front of the other” so I started singing the song and she said “Shut up I hate you”.

Percy: Hahahah!

Piper: It’s a gift, getting songs stuck in people’s heads until they hate me.

Piper: Leo and I were just talking about what if life was like in those old commercials were the chubby girl pushes up her belly and suddenly she’s skinny with boobs.

Nico: Like in cartoons where the guy with the gut pushes it up so it looks like he has a broad chest?

Piper: Hahaha yes.

Nico: But it falls down right away.

Piper: You sir are a dream crusher.

Nico: So it’s “Sir” now is it? Bow down to my Nobility!

Piper: Hahaha no way grandpa!

Nico: Respect your elders.

Piper: Hahaha never!

Nico: Quiet child.

Nico: Worked for an entire month and a half straight before getting days off from both jobs and I jokingly told people that I was going to go into a mini coma but then later after putting my plate down on the stand next to my bed I fell asleep and woke up 13 hours later…

Annabeth: Okay might be time to stop reading and go to sleep when you read the word “Adrenaline” as “Gasoline” don’t ask me how but that’s what happened.

Percy texting Nico: In the food court in the mall and there’s a guy here that looks like Robin Williams.

Nico: Cool.

Percy: Yeah man.

Nico: I’m supposed to tell you it’s not him.

Percy: It might be a zombie!

Nico: Nah, he’s just there in spirit.

Saiyuki

Goku: THE PISTACHIO PUDDING WILL PROTECT ME! Buddha would have wanted it this way.

Pokemon

Ash: tortilla? That sounds like a pokemon! Tortilla I choose you! (throwing motion)

The mortal instruments

Magnus: Just got this game on my phone it’s all about cats!

Magnus: Cats! CATS! CATS! CATS! So many cats!

Izzy and Alec with no sleep after 30+ hours: *dying of laughter anytime they hear the word “cats”

Supernatural

Sam: So dean was telling me about this dream he had where he was driving and he hit a zombie and the cops came and destroyed it but still charged him even though there was no body and Cas asked if it was a dream and Dean looks at him “Well I sure hope so.”
