Sometimes, it’s hard to interact with Nico. Even Hazel has to admit that. No, it’s not his father, no, it’s not how he chants the names of the dead, well at least not for Hazel, no. It’s how the souls cling on to him, like he is the anchor in the wild sea. When he laughs, sweet as nectar, it is like you can hear the joy of the spirits with him, as if they’ve heard that they can return just one more time, to apologize, to say their goodbyes, to say “it’s not your fault” and “I love you” When he sobs, you hear the wails of the souls in the Lethe, alone, forgotten. You can feel the pain of the tormented, the Acheron spilling from his mouth. His rage is unkempt, rage like the souls in Punishment, rage like Achilles who sits by the Styx, rage of the many souls who never got a life they truly lived. It’s not his fault. You know that. Hazel knows that. Everyone does. But when he speaks, and his voice mixes like wine with the voices of the ones you loved, the ones you cherished, you have to turn away. No wonder the boy stopped speaking. What torture would it be, to hear his sister when he spoke? Or his mother when he cried? How painful.

I want to learn to do something like this, but i sadly do not have friends to do this with?
If I tell you this is a horror dance number it still won't prepare you. That last move was so terrifying even the judge was like "Let go! Let go!" If you told me they're actually possessed I'd believe you.
One of the most perfectly choreographed and executed dances I have ever seen and comes closest to Shobana's original performance in Manichitrathazhu. Incredible!
Aww!!!

:) I love Bianca, Nico and hazel
But also... Someone responded to my post!
They both look extremely similar, in fact, if you give them the same hairstyle, they would practically look the same, the difference is that Nico is usually terrifying to be near or look at, but Bianca is nicer ( funnily enough Bianca is more introverted while Nico is an extrovert). But if you look Nico in the eyes and suddenly you both are best friends (you just can't resist the soulful eyes) and also they're colored like earth (brown but with highlights of Gold Green, and Purple mainly but a bunch of other colors, and really, really pretty. Also they change color depending on the closest and biggest Jewel/Mineral nearby). While Bianca's eyes suck in all the light and are dark pitch black, and she gives terrifying death glares. But when blindfolded or something looks extremely nice

note : this doesn't apply if Hazel or Bianca want to assert older kids' privileges, then it's Hazel is 4 years older than nico, and bianca is 2 years older than nico
my hot death sibs take is that it is a futile effort to try and give them any kind of "older/younger sibling" dynamic. they were born within a month of one another and after Hazel is revived they're still only like a year apart and are peers on every level. just give them a twins-like dynamic, cause that's the closest to what they have. the only time one of them being older (Hazel) ever is relevant/comes up is when theyre poking fun at one another. boom problem solved.
6 zoo myths that arent true
now bear with me here, what if that's why Nico is so powerful, like at 12 yrs old he was more powerful that Bianca ( I know we don't have proof but still)
There’s something to be said about Nico and Bianca being so close in age and Bianca feeling like she had to raise him rather than just be his sister. Nico doesn’t see it that way he doesn’t want Bianca to be his mom he just wants her to be a sister and a friend and ally. Nico sees it as the tow of them equally looking out for each other equally. You see how protective he is when Thorn disrespects her and Nico almost told him to go shove the great army up his butt. 1930s Italy patriarchy Italy raised Bianca to take care of everybody in her family and not expect to be taken care of and looked after in return. Nico always knew that was bullshit. Maria raised them both to look after each other equally. Maria raised Nico to be aware that people (men) won’t take Bianca seriously and that he needs to be there to stand up for her. Nico is all but willing to throw hands for her. He tried to go on the quest with them. He tried to sneak off after the hunters to protect her but Percy stopped him because he’s “too young”. And that’s the only reason he made Percy promise to protect her if he wouldn’t allow Nico to do it. Hes only one year younger than her. Maybe a year and a half but that’s not much of a difference. I can’t imagine how angry Nico was at the world cause they didn’t let him go on the quest specifically to protect Bianca and she ended up dying. How Nico must have blamed himself just as much as Percy. Blames himself for not finding a way to follow them for not finding a way to protect her like he was raised to do. That’s a big part of the reason why he was so attached to her. They were each others protectors.
(Sorry if I’m rambling here I’m a bit sleep deprived and not sure if my points are getting across)
(And this last part is just my little head cannon you don’t have to believe this part if you don’t want to but this is what I believe)
I think when Bianca was born a girl Maria was very worried for her because of the environment and time period they lived in. So Maria straight up asked Hades to make a boy to protect her just in case Bianca standing up for herself is not enough. Just in case. Because humans in numbers working together are so much stronger than humans working alone. Maria didn’t ever want her baby girl to feel alone in the fucked up world they lived in. And she knew it wouldn’t be the same to be there as a mother because she’s mortal and Bianca is demigod and needs someone to relate to and was worried Bianca could never relate to anyone or anything and feel alone even if her mom is right there. So Maria asked Hades for a boy. And that’s Nico’s whole purpose in life is just to be there for Bianca. That’s why he’s so attached. And that’s why he’s doesn’t know what to do where to go and doesn’t even know who he even is after she died. Because that was his whole life. That was his whole reason for living. For existing. Now it’s all gone. If there was only a Nico because there was a Bianca first, then if Bianca ceases to exist then, does Nico cease to exist too?
If the roman god of beginnings, transitions and ending had demigod children would, they see an alternate version of themselves in their shadows and mirrors, like things that happened to them in the past or will happen to them ?
Just to add, these reflections and shadows can move independently and show different images
