SO Hiccup figures Al is a swell guy and he'd like to talk to him again. :)
Mmmmmm....... Nico and Nagisa. He actually does plan on going through with the learning to swim thing, he just...is really embarrassed that he can't swim and doesn't want to make a fool of himself. He'll probably put off that whole learning-to-swim thing for a while. Until Nagisa drags him into it, I'm sure. Annnnnd from talks with the other freeboys and trying to explain Nagisa's crazy to Jean without making Nagisa sound like a total freak . . . he's starting to try to not just dismiss Nagisa just because he's annoying and bubbly. Makoto was all, "He just wants everyone to have fun." And Nico talking to Jean about Nagisa and saying stuff like "I'm just not sure about his motives," trying to be dry-humor-funny and just making Nagisa sound like a psychotic monster, erm. Nico realized that's not cool, except for just warning like-minded people that Nagisa is bubbly and will get in your face and be cute about shit and peer pressure you and FOLLOW YOU AROUND AND ASK YOU FOR PANCAKES ahem.
And Nico wants to make everyone feel included, because he knows how being stuck on the outside feels. He doesn't want to make that happen for anyone. SO HE'S PROBABLY OVER-THINKING IT and he probably won't act too differently around Nagisa because Nagisa. He'll still grumble and be like AUGHHHHH NAGISA WHY. But he'll be more considerate, otherwise. Not that he'll let the little swimming dude push him around. (Much. Let's be real, he's already played into Nagisa's hands.)
I'M NOT QUITE SURE THAT MADE SENSE but. there you go????
'kay, first impressions with Al and Hiccup???

Percy
okay, so. lets get Percy out of the way first. Nico is still getting used to Percy being so friendly. It'll probably take him a while to get used to that. He's really frustrated with Percy lately, what with him being a giant tool and telling Jason a lotta crap, and then being a bro with Jason and causing Nico suffering. (YOU TWO ARE GOING TO BE MY ETERNAL SENTENCE IN THE FIELDS OF PUNISHMENT, I SWEAR.)
But as for everything else Percy-related, Nico's...not as mad. like, you know how Nico's grudges work. even if it was EONS AGO he will likely never forgive people. and he still hasn't really forgiven Percy for dismissing him in the past, or even for Bianca, really. But! he's less bitter about it, and he's starting to, erm, not exactly accept Percy into his life, because he still expects him to dash off and forget about him. But he's on the way to forgiving Percy for the whole dismissing thing pre-HoH.
in general, he's . . . enjoying himself with Percy, being able to hang out with him, and having the freedom to judge him when he's right there next to him. even through Percy's ridiculousness and weird thought processes that Nico half-follows, and as much as all that Percy is frustrates him . . . he also loves it. Shut up. he can simultaneously hate and love Percy's personal loyalty, okay? okay. Because he knows it's one of Percy's strengths. but it drives him fuckin' crazy when Percy is willing to throw everything away for just one person. NO, PERCY, DON'T DO THE THING. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF OLYMPUS DON'T DO THE THING!!!
and I think that his crush on Percy is getting even stronger, the more he hangs out with him, and the longer Percy treats him nicely and drags him around. o-oh goodness
now to plan what to do to Percy and Jason for that pomegranate thing . . . /rubs hands together
Takeru
As far as updates go? Nico is really looking forward to that campfire roasting funtimes he's gonna have with Takeru and all the power ranger samurai losers. (and if you guys wanna handwave that, it's cool. Nico will have set it up, and he would mostly stick to talking to Takeru and watching everyone else.)
Nico feels like Takeru has helped him a lot. with people, with learning new things (like new sword moves and the guitar), and basically just being a support. there were a lot of things Nico would've been lost on if he hadn't been able to talk to Takeru about it. So he wants to give Takeru good things, too. that's what's behind the whole campfire thing.
iiiiiiiiii think that's all the updates for Takeru and Nico. we need a new Takeru-Nico thread.
Hiro
maybe not so much on the uh, kidnapping little girls for tea time and lulz, but uh
you just keep on truckin'
WE HAVEN'T HAD A NICO-HIRO THREAD IN FOREVER, so if you want that some time, we totally should. I don't remember if i said anything about Hiro on my first and only before this relationship meme, but i just really like their dynamic and Nico's poor choices in the friends he chooses. also, knife tricks! awesome. i like that there's an unstated understanding between them, to a point.
IDK WHAT ELSE TO RAMBLE ABOUT BETWEEN THEM i feel like i've talked to you about them a lot already
Lucciola and Lavie
she is almost always really tempted to PLAN things with Lucciola in order to find out about Al's friendships and crushes and junk. but if Al ever found out........ SO they can just gossip forever. and she'll let Lucciola be a homoelfninja and watch over their Al. and Lavie will watch out for her as she can, and...just...FEELINGS, OKAY? OKAY.
that picnic thing is happening dammit and Lucciola is going to wear a ridiculous hat, so says Lavie.

BACK AT YOU, BUDDY.

OH MAN, Nico is so taken with Tomoko. Pretty goth girl!! Pretty goth girl who likes his skeletons!! And his powers in general!! And compliments him and makes him feel normal!!! ANd PRETTY GIRL WHO JUST FISTBUMPED ONE OF HIS SKELETONS and he can give nice things to without it being weird(????)!!!!
So, yes, he likes Tomoko, and THIS MIGHT END UP AS A CRUSH, but for now, he's got ~SOLIDARITY~ and ~FRIENDSHIP~ feelings. Not that Nico di Angelo has friends, nope, no sirree. And anyone who isn't scared of his skeletons--or even LIKES them!!!!!!!!!--immediately gets in his good graces. Especially if that someone doesn't mind or even LIKES his creepiness! LET'S BE CREEPY TOGETHER, TOMOKO.
He figures she's a daughter of Hecate because seriously, come on, curses and is totally cool and loves creepy things? Can't be anything but. Buuuuuut with there being things like WIZARDS and PLANT PEOPLE here, he realizes she might not be. BUT STILL. shhh shhh give him this one thing, shhhhh
Also, I think Tomoko's the first asian person who Nico asked if they'd prefer he call them by their first or last name. He never bothers to ask guys, and all the girls previously gave him their first names. (He referred to Takeru as Shiba for a while before he realized that Takeru was his first name. I'M MORE SMOOTH THAN PERCY JACKSON.
you know, the one who Makoto called Jackson-san and Percy was like, "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?") SO ANYWAY, yes, he's being ~polite~ and ~considerate~ for Tomoko. Because pretty girl who has things in common with him.Nico can absolutely not wait until he shows her his other powers. Just wait until he summons a ghost for you, Tomoko. Or controls a zombie hoard. (That's cool too, right? Right . . . ?) And he's really looking forward to giving her something nice, like the super totally awesome gravestone she's gonna get. It's gonna be TOTALLY AWESOOOOME! And probably be near the forest for extra creepy points.
ALSO I SHOULD MENTION I HAVEN'T DROPPED THEIR THREAD, i'm just. stuck on my reply. but I'll tag you back once I'm done beating Nico's voice into submission.
k, BACK AT YOU GOTH GIRL

little Hiccup thought that Sam was pretty cool. I mean, he's not the coolest around, but he shared his comic book! And he actually followed Hiccup into the library and junk, and didn't yell at him when he fell from the bookcase. LOW STANDARDS FOR PEOPLE, YAYYYYY!! But like, Hiccup's not used to being paid much attention to except when he's breaking stuff, so Sam showing some kind attention to him was nice. SO Sam's an alright dude who's pretty generous and kind, and he'd like to play with him again and drag him off, if the opportunity came up!
now that he's not like, six, Hiccup doesn't remember everything in detail, just vague stuff, and it's kind of fuzzy. So he mostly has the memory of his general feelings about stuff, so! Upon meeting Sam again, since Sam looked after him and played with him when he was small, he'll have that general feeling.
AND THEN I FORGET that Sam and Hiccup talked on that I BLEW UP THE MESS HALL thing, so!!! present-Hiccup had the first impression that Sam was a joking and general fun dude. I mean, he set fire to the Mess Hall and Sam was still nice to him. So, awesome! And he complimented Hiccup, so...even better!!! And it wasn't in the way that makes Hiccup feel awkward. It's about one of his inventions!!!
And not one of his self depracating stuffSO YES, Sam's a cool dude, 5 stars, would snark with again.so yes WE SHOULD THREAD AGAIN SOMETIME :D

(reminder: Jason, Pepper, Jean, Makoto and Chiaki)
Jason + Nico
and don't think i didn't notice how you put Jason first in that lineup. so, let's get the blond superman out of the way.
JASON GRACE. You are a travesty. as you full-well know, Nico has already become a little attached to Jason. from that fun out-of-context note, Nico knows that Jason deals with people judging him based on his godly parent, just . . . in a different way. he connects with that, because although there's still a part of him that goes, "Oh wow, everyone likes you too much and so expect you to be perfect, while others hate you because you're supposed to be perfect and powerful, you poor thing" . . . he realizes that that's also a shitty thing to deal with. Nico deals with the other side of that--people expecting him to betray them, to be untrustworthy, to be creepy, to be powerful and mean and anti-social. all the same, he can imagine how Jason's side of the drachma (or denarii, in this case) is also shit. already, a connection!
pretty much straight off, when Jason arrived with next-to-no memories, Nico was protective. his initial distance kept that at bay, as well as the emotional distance he put between them after he realized that Jason had no memories, and so he had to play ambassador and lie again. but all those brain pain moments of Jason cringing from trying to access memories that aren't really there? yeah, that made Nico worried. of course, he wasn't that protective of him at the time. no, it took Jason pounding in the fact. "Think of me as a blank slate," and all that junk. keeping Jason in sight and making sure no one takes advantage of him is the only reason he invited (and allowed) Jason to room with him and Percy. (though lbr, Percy would have convinced Nico to say yes anyway. Percy Jackson . . .)
AND NOW Jason and Nico have hugged, kissed, and slept in the same bed twice. and at that Mess Hall table, those notes in their hands, they talked about lost memories, and what Nico would do if he had lost his memories and had a chance to get them back, at the cost of the world. (ha.) considering that's not hypothetical at all, they bonded quite a bit over that. Nico has realized that Jason is supportive, respective of his space and what he wants, warm, and smells really good. damn you, Jason Grace. he hasn't realized it, but he's starting to like, like Jason. the marigold seed has been planted.
Nico has punched Jason in the face, punched him in the gut, and threw an orange at his head. (you were kissing Percy Jackson, dammit, you deserved that. --and no he was not jealous. of either of you.
he was jealous of both of you)Jason has relaxed on his bed, eyes closed, while Nico played his guitar. Nico's seen Jason naked when he really didn't expect it (since, as you've pointed out, he most likely has seen him in the Roman baths. but while he must have acknowledged that Jason was good-looking back then, he didn't like him whatsoever then.)
So, yeah. Nico's getting flustered around Jason for the hugging, kissing, and attention that Jason is paying him. remember, Nico is used to being treated as a professional commodity. whether he's the ambassador of Pluto in Camp Jupiter, Nico-the-son-of-Hades-who-drops-by-sometimes in Camp Half-Blood, the informant for the quest, the kid who drops in to save Percy's life and then is swiped aside again, or his father's (and the other gods') errand boy: it's all business.
so any genuine, well-intended attention he gets is strange. not bad, but something he has to get used to. it makes him want to push Jason away (and believe me, he's been trying a bit), because it kind of scares him. and he doesn't expect it to last. he never expects good things to last. and he certainly doesn't want to let Jason in any more than he already has, because fuck. the guy already catches things about him, his motives, his body language, his silence, and is getting to know him pretty damn well. TOO well. although Percy knew the Nico before Bianca's death, before his world shattered and life sucked, and though Percy knew the angry twelve-year-old son of Hades out for blood and his dead sister . . . in a way, Jason is starting to get to know Nico better than Percy does. Percy understands Nico's past, but Nico still confuses him. Jason is beginning to understand Nico's present. (WITH THEIR POWERS COMBINED--) not to compare Jason to Percy like one is better than the other, but just as a perspective kind of thing.
and now Percy, Jason, and Nico are at the party and are going to get drunk as fuck. clearly this can only go well.
I THINK THAT'S IT, moving on to Hiccup while i'm on the Jason vine
Jason + Hiccup
BEING ABLE TO TALK ABOUT HIS WORLD WAS RAD. Like I said, he loves storytelling, and he loves talking about dragons. So the two together is SUPER DUPER RAD. He's not the greatest storyteller, because he second-guesses himself and has really, really low confidence. He tends to cut himself short (in more ways than one), and so cuts his stories short. Hiccup could easily tell his adventures in a really epic way, and Jason would totally be on the edge of his air seat, so to speak. But Hiccup feels like he's not interesting, even with the gentle prodding to continue, so. We'll see if he ever gets over that with Jason helping him out!
And man, how about that philosophical debate? That was GREAT. To say that there aren't any smart and/or intellectual Vikings on Berk who aren't Hiccup would be an outright lie. It's just that none of them would be or have ever been willing to have deep, aloud thoughts like that. It's not Viking. You hit things and you move on with your life. Boom, bam, thank you ma'am, hammer to the face of your enemies and here's your dinner, sleep tight.
Hiccup has all these thoughts jumbling around in his head, but no outlet for them. I feel like he definitely talks to Toothless about a lot of the stuff he thinks about, because BEST BROS OL' BUDDY OL PAL FOREVER. And he was actually able to speak with Jason--with, not AT--and he got a LOT of feedback. Jason took him seriously! And they had a really deep discussion for a couple of minutes! And Hiccup got more comfortable with himself, and-- Oh man. I have to find this deleted scene for you, because WOW. Does it EVER show how dismissive most Berkians were with Hiccup.
Here, Astrid comes into the stall while Hiccup and Gobber are there. Go, watch it first. It's adorable and dumb and so Hiccup and Astrid and Gobber. The way she asks about Hiccup's inventions, all invested--and then then hears that it throws weapons for you, and tosses the designs aside with a dismissive, "Oh." It's just . . . Gobber is p much the only person who talks personally and intimately with Hiccup. Gobber speaks Hiccup's language, in that his advice and feelings talks are threaded into sarcasm and jokes. But other than that, no one's really willing to give Hiccup's thoughts the time of day. At least, not to the extent that he would like.
So, throughout that philosophical debate--which was very civil and not a single person was slapped across the face with a sturgeon--a new Viking record!--Hiccup became more and more comfortable with Jason, and more confident in speaking his mind. NEW BESTIE, after the dragon, of course.
Oh, by the way, Jason and Toothless should so get stuck at a table under the full moon, eating a lovely raw fish dinner by candlelight. Courtesy of Camp, of course. Because I just remembered that conversation, and it was hilarious.
tl;dr Jason is Hiccup's closest human bro. Hiccup's shared more himself with Jason than with any other person his age. (Because let's be real, Astrid is not the best when it comes to talking about feelings, or having riveting debates. She punches things to solve them. She is Annabeth+Clarisse. . . . terrifying /shudder)
Pepper + Nico
kya kya pretty lady kya. He respects a good, strong lady with some powerful sass, especially if they've got a brain on them. And not, you know, in their hands. Pepper definitely fits that bill. She knows how to deal with him, she respects his boundaries and gives him compliments, but backs off before it gets to be too much and makes him angry and frustrated, and she has never, ever, ever mentioned The Incident and probably hasn't told anyone. (You know, the whole Crying On Her Nice Shirt thing)
Mainly, the reason he's so taken with her is 1) his crush on her, 2) she respects his boundaries and doesn't push him, making conversation easier, and 3) her comfort feels kind of mom-ish sometimes.
As far as what he thinks of Pepper Potts... She's a badass lady who happens to be dating Tony Stark. (Not a big deal right right who cares about Tony you're hot) That also means that she can deal with SOME SHIT, as he's seen how Fucking Stupid Tony can be. (Yeah, Tony, I'm never forgetting you challenging and fucking with a winter spirit and then acting like you're going to shoot a god you moron.)
He doesn't think anything could faze Pepper. Or at least, it would take a lot to faze her. And she's fun to talk to! He wouldn't consider her his friend, even in his head, but he does like her a lot and likes talking to her. Especially when she messes with one Percy Jackson.
clearly they should prank him together sometime or something. help me get back at him about the Syphilis thing
