will doesn't actually prefer the summer: in fact, the turn of the seasons and the increase in temperature makes him feel sad and lonely, for it's when the sun shines the brightest that he is reminded of his absent father and all the siblings he lost... the "sun" in his life that will never shine again

what if the reason will isn't the greatest fighter is sadder than you think? it's well known that healing and using vitakinisis takes a toll on the body of a demigod, and with the way will overworks himself, it wouldn't come as a surprise to see that this comes with repercussions.

after the wars, will began to slow down a bit in his work. he found himself getting more exhausted and it became harder for him to get through short tasks. he knew that something wasn't right, and with a bit of encouragement from nico, he went to get himself checked out.

the doctor diagnosed with him with chronic pain syndrome, telling him that the frequent use of vitakinesis had taken it's toll, and delayed some of his normal bodily functions. he never tells a soul, pretending instead that fighting and archery is simply not a talent he possessed.

"i'm gonna grow up to be the best doctor ever," will solace told his mother when he was four years old.

when he was little, he would run around the house in a too big lab coat and his stuffed animals, telling his mom all about how he healed them with the pretend doctor kit she bought for him at christmas. whenever anyone at his school got sick, he knew what was wrong with them, and promised to kiss it better... it really was no wonder when Apollo claimed him as his son.

when he got to camp, his love of healing and medicine didn't change. he never shied away from the chance to spew his medical knowledge to his siblings and friends, and sooner than later, everyone at camp would come to him with questions.

lee told will that he was the smartest apollo kid in a long time, and when he finished his first shift in the infirmary, he knew that was where he was called to be...

or so he thought? the years passed, and it didn't take long for the young boy to realize that being a doctor wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. will was ten when he lost his first patient, and without lee's constant support, he probably would have been too scared to return to healing. lee promised him that the deaths were not his fault, and that doctors couldn't save everyone... will believed him...

... and then lee died, and after that, the infirmary became a place will feared instead of loved. he cried himself to sleep every night because of the patients he couldn't save, and he pondered all the ways he could pull out of the infirmary for good. but the wars kept coming, and will felt hopeless. he simply couldn't continue doing something he no longer loved...

at least, until nico came along. nico, who brightened will's life like a ray of sunshine. nico knew about these insecurities of wills, and working together, they were able to make them go away. it was on a rainy night when the two boys were snuggled together that will finally told nico something he had never imagined himself saying again.

"i'm gonna grow up to be the best doctor ever."

truly my favorite post in the world i'm obsessed

How I think people misrepresent Will Solace (And why I hate the fanon version of him)

If I were to be completely honest and true to myself, I think that Will Solace is one of the most misrepresented characters in the entire series. Mostly I think that’s due to the fact that he hasn’t had much time to be developed on screen and when he is on screen his personality, thoughts and feelings are being obscured by the person narrating the story. Which is mostly Apollo. So, all we see of Will Solace is him in his “best” form. He’s a kind and loving person to Apollo and his boyfriend, but that’s it. So that’s how everyone characterizes him.

And I for one, hate it.

I think the most common misconception about Will Solace by the fandom is that he is essentially a himbo jock. He thinks with his heart and acts on impulse all while being a rowdy and competitive person. But in reality, the books often specify different. In a short story that was featured in camp half-blood confidential, the ares kids set up a competition among the cabins, of which Will is a participant. This story is viewed through the eyes of a young Ares camper who describes Will Solace as clever and smart and therefore the most likely, out of a competition with Ares kids and Nike kids, was most likely to win. Which should say a lot about him. On top of that, his job demands skills that the fanon perception of him does not display. I.E, medical knowledge, mathematics, herbalism, etc. It simply doesn’t align with what would be reasonable with his character.

Another common misconception about him is that he is only defined by his relationship with Nico. Every action and every word, everything he does is because of his boyfriend. He’s supposed to be Nico’s #1 supporter and support everything that Nico does. He’s supposed to be his therapists and healer, and crutch and apparently shadow. Every angst fanfiction about Will somehow revolves around Nico in some way. Like every person in the Percy Jackson universe and in real life, he is not just his boyfriend. He is not meant to be defined as Nico’s boyfriend.

I’m going to get a lot of hate for this, but I truly believe that the Sun X Moon and golden retriever x black cat and grumpy x sunshine are overused and boring tropes. Especially when applied to the “golden” partner. And Will is always being characterized as the Sun. It reduces Will to an uninteresting stereotype that gives him no depth whatsoever and erases any problems that he might have.

Trauma from having to watch his own brothers die and possibly have them die in his arms.

Gone because he’s just an uwu cinnamon roll who couldn’t possibly find that sad or scary or

Hatred for his father because his father had neglected him his entire life, abandoned him and siblings for him to raise for three years before coming to his camp to take advantage of the resources.

Nope because Apollo said that he loved his son, and they had like a week to run away from monsters and try not to die together and that fixes everything.

Mental illness or any other health problem?

Uh uh uh, no it wouldn’t make sense for him to have autism or anxiety or BPD or a trauma disorder or anything of the sort because he’s the mentally stable character. He’s the one who’s all sunshine and rainbows.

You guys are refusing almost to give him any sort of interesting plot line or character development for the sake of him fulfilling a role. He could be one of the most interesting characters and you guys are reducing him into nothing.

he’s raised his siblings since he was 12, had to take care of an infirmary and more than a hundred other lives than his own. There’s no way he hasn’t had any repressed mental issues in the back of his mind

AND AND AND. If you were once on the other side of the spectrum from where I am but now you’re like “Ok Maybe you have a point, but like I need head cannons or things from cannon that would make him more well-rounded” or something like that I’ve got you dw.

1. Doctor who fan

2. Loves the stars and the sky

3. Autism/trauma disorder

4. For those people who loved to think of Will Solace as a contrast to Nico and love to see him be a good person, consider the plot line that he could be an Anti Villain to Nico’s anti hero.

5. He is a direct parallel to Bianca, I’ve discussed and explained this before so I won’t explain it now. but think how his plot line could be him getting to be free and leave behind all that was dragging him back like how Bianca wanted him to

6. Again with the contrasts with Nico. Will has had to stay and stand with his own problems all of his life because he was trapped in camp, while Nico hasn’t done anything but run from them

7. He could’ve been alienated for his interests or other issues when he was younger

8. Has been used as free healthcare for his entire job and never credited for it so people just think he’s useless but then complain when he can’t be exploited anymore

9. He has had to bottle up all of his emotions for the sake of his siblings as well as having to do it for the sake of his public image or Nico

10. Anger for the injustice of Halcyon Green.

10.5. Him having the ability to spread disease, see the future, or bring people back to life or all of the above

something something Nico di Angelo can “grow” death - a perfect combination of his godly parents’ powers.

As in: the withered trees - with all their dry branches and fallen leaves - grow out their crooked, barren arms and reach out to him as if they were still alive, the same way flowers bloom wherever Persephone sets her feet on. The trees are, well, dead, obviously, but somehow their branches extend towards Nico nonetheless. A thing of worshipping.

nico di angelo is the type of person who would watch wednesday and pretend it didn't affect him, but 15 seconds later he'd be memorizing her dance moves and gushing about it on his secret blog. will pretends not to notice, but he does, and he thinks it's adorable
