love how all the Nyx kids we know are losers. They're all some flavor of dork and all are vaguely pathetic.
Except for Charon. Dude is living the High life swimming in dough and even got a boyfriend locked in. So much rizz that even Aphrodite is noticing. King shit.
I am of the opinion that Silver being brought up in an apocalyptic future means he can snap on a dime when he needs to
Sorry, but the whole “Hector is wearing Achilles’ own armor, taken from my corpse. It looks, almost, as if Achilles is chasing himself.” part just has me thinking… Who is Achilles truly hunting down on that battlefield? The man who killed Patroclus, or the man who let Patroclus walk into his demise? Who is Achilles trying to punish? Who is he truly trying to kill? Hector or himself?

Note: Nico is already 13 in this. Bianca is 15, and Hazel is also 15. Let's just assume nothing bad ever happened...
Hades, answering an Iris Message: Good morning, Niccol- Oh my Gods.
Nico, dressed up in smaller version of Hades' clothes: It's like looking in a mirror!
Hades: No, it isn’t, Nico.
Nico: Who's Nico?
Hazel, on the side: I already can't tell who's who.
Hades: Take that off
Nico: Persephone! Get over here and settle this!
Hades: Don't call your step mother by her name.
Persephone: What? *looks at Nico* Aww, travel-sized Hades, aww!
Hades: Persephone, don't encourage him
Bianca: Hey, Nico, have you seen my- oh wow, this is confusing.
Hades: No, it's not
Nico, impersonating Hades: You're my family and I love you but you're terrible! You're all terrible!
Hades: I don't say that
Hazel: Yes, it is, dad
Persephone: Ohhh, yes, it is.
Bianca: That's all you say.
Boyfriends share chicky nuggies.

Most straight relationships in media: “Even though there's no development and no chemistry and we don't look like we love each other that much we'll date because we're straight and that's what we're supposed to do. Right??”
Most queer relationships in media: “If saving you is a sin, I'll gladly become a sinner.” — “Dying together also included a ‘together’.” — “You changed my destiny from the moment we touched.” — “I would know him in death, at the end of the world.” — “The hero and the warrior were like the sun and the moon...”
To anyone who thinks Bruce has a clear and consistent favourite child I raise you this: it is infinitely funnier for Bruce to have a complicated and elaborate “ranking” system of his kids that only he’s privy to.
Picture this: Batman, dosed with truth serum, gets asked as a gag from one of the goons holding him captive who his favourite bat-vigilante is and instead of giving a straight answer, he launches into this whole explanation about the ranking system and who’s in the current lead, who’s hanging behind, etc. At some point (this is a mystery to everyone involved) a whiteboard appears and he starts explaining his system like he’s a football coach before an important match. Out of nowhere he starts pulling out little cardboard cutouts of his kids and pins them to the board. At some point the red string comes out.
Jason hasn’t killed someone in a week? Automatically promoted to favourite. Tim hasn’t caused an international incident in the past month? Puts him a few points ahead that keep decreasing the longer he refuses real sleep (20 minute power naps don’t count Tim! Says powernap inventor Bruce Wayne). Cass gave him a hug this morning and wished him a good day? Favourite until he gets a call from dick telling him (without shouting!!!!) that he’ll be there for this week’s Sunday dinner. Duke accidentally scratches the Batmobile? Demoted to the “in trouble” zone (which, honestly, that’s where his kids spend most of the time in😭). Damian did not attempt to free all the animals in the zoo they visited? Favourite. Until Bruce found out he was just trying to conceal the cat hidden in his room that Bruce explicitly forbade him from keeping.
Dick arrives at the family dinner with a busted shoulder and a bruise the size of Texas on his face? Gets demoted so far down that even azraeil scores higher than him. He’s in the “in trouble” zone for a constant month after that. Oh one of them survived an almost death? Favourite for at least the next week. At least. Multiple people survive an almost death? EVERYONES the favourite. The least favourite is the growing grey hairs on his head.
The end of day results are decided by who bothers to wish him goodnight and if all of them have fucked up in some way the past week then Jon (Kent) becomes the automatic favourite until someone cracks a joke that Bruce actually finds funny.
The favourite child changes daily, hourly even, and his kids are aware this system exists and keep trying to crack the code but he always Knows and just smirks smugly.
Athena: So... who's the big spoon and who's the little spoon?
Odysseus: We're chopsticks!
Athena: Well... that's cute!
Telemachus: Does that mean you two snuggle together perfectly?
Penelope: No, it means that if you take one away, the only thing the other is good for is stabbing.
