Imagine if Nico could learn to control when he turns into shadows.
Like, in The Blood of Olympus Nico would start fading after shadow traveling too much, and sometimes Reyna and Coach Hedge wouldn't be able to touch him, and one time he even accidentally walked through a tree. Imagine if he learned to control that intangibility.
Imagine if he could just turn parts of his body into shadows. Imagine if, in a fight, someone swings at him, and he knows he can't dodge in time, so he turns into shadows for a second so the weapon goes right through him, and while his enemy is confused he uses the distraction to land the final blow.
Imagine if he could just walk/reach through walls and doors and stuff.
I just think that, for someone with the title of ghost king (and as a child of the Underworld), he deserves more ghost-like powers.

re: what-could-have-been with Tilín
Okay so Dapper confirmed earlier today that the egg parents assignments got fucked. Quackity was accidentally doubled-counted so we got Quackity + Luzu and Wilbur + BBH. But bc the second pairing was against the rules they just let BBH and Wilbur be single parents
Obviously the single parent relationships we got out of this are really adorable, but the implications are WILD. it means that the Quackity-Tilin saga could’ve gone so differently if either Wilbur or Luzu had been online on adoption day or even the next few days following it. It was clear from the start that Q wouldnt be able to do daily tasks w Tilin (for both character and meta reasons) and that he desperately needed other ppl to take care of her. Roier and Jaiden did what they could but without a dedicated parent who would be more attentive to Tilin, she was fucked. and by the time Luzu and Wilbur got back Tilin was already dead
Its getting a lot of flack on twitter and I get that some ppl really wanted tntduo to be a happy family but the story made it clear that that wasnt gonna happen. at first Tallulah may have been seen as a potential second chance for Q to be a parent again, but at that point he was still grieving Tilin and was desperately looking for a rebound. Tallulah was a potential second chance to take care of a daughter, but not the daughter he wanted. Today’s stream reinstates this. Quackity still considers his ultimate happiness to be Tilin.
(Wilbur clocked this right away, mind you. Q has shown that he is not capable of the single parent lifestyle and was too emotionally unstable to do so anyway. Wilbur was right not to entrust Tallulah to Q)
Its wild how the moment a storyline isnt straightforward linear everyone-is-happy-together people lose their shits trying to justify why it shouldnt have happened that way. people fail to appreciate the very raw and real complications that qsmp is showing in regards to parenting. Sometimes you mess up. Sometimes you mess up so bad it causes permanent damage. Sometimes you get a second chance, or maybe you dont. I think people dont appreciate this storyline just bc the ship they wanted didnt happen!!

its just occurred to me that, when nico is told that bianca is dead, he seems genuinely shocked, whereas with jason, it was a case of confirmation that set in, implying that bianca was technically still alive at the time

team ties remain my faves actually. theyre vibing, the only people theyre against are the bad boys. theyve got farms, theyve got animals, they kept some cows alive, they have a really cool lookin tower and a soon to be mob farm, they found and survived the fortress. i love these guys teaming up, theyre silly and fun and they cheer their guy on in a fight when he gets overcome with bloodlust!

"Losing seven years of your life would definitely damage a lot, but I really think this one takes the cake." His current predicament? He's once again having trouble with his smartphone. "I feel like a grandpa with his first computer."

I know tim is the easy one for the comic characters ask meme but I’ll do it anyway <3 (and if someone else already sent tim then uhhhh lonnie please)
A comic you'd recommend to get to know this character: robin 93, i know a lot of people dont like it bc dixons and willinghams writing is uhh sure the way it is but i do genuinely think its a p good show of who tim is and how he changes over time. its definitely not perfect and there are parts you could easily skip but i found it really fun. also young justice ofc<3 comic of all time
A comic you would NEVER recommend reading for this character: i havent liked him in rebirth so i guess. most of that. i found him very bland and just. not tim in yj 19. i dont enjoy his current solo either
A comic you would recommend reading only with the footnotes (aka after reading a bunch of other stuff): red robin! i love it dearly but its definitely not the best Only basis for tims character. esp the second part. also convergence batgirl is soo dear to me for how it shows tim and steph but you kind of need the context for it to be fun i think
A retcon that you wish would be reversed: n52 and rebirth. my beloathed. sorry
A retcon that fixed a LOT of shit: i guess rebirth fixed things as in its not n52 anymore. but im still not happy about it. but it could be worse??
A headcanon extrapolated from all of your extensive reading because no one knows this character like you do: im not gonna start telling you about my trans tim takes bc you know them already. but all of that
A pitch for their next solo (or team) book: we need to kill him just make him stop being robin please im begging. that aside id like to see him in a team book again i miss tim being the teamup guy, and imo hes a lot more interesting as a support character than when hes the main guy of the book (mostly bc authors cant help but try to make him the 'smartest and most competent person in the room' which just gets annoying tbh). also let him team up with helena and cass again

Neon please talk to me about Nicky as death…I need to know your thoughts!!!
the concept was originally in reference to hades au specifically but it is quickly spiralling out of my control and i am just thinking. i know tales through time lacus solitudinis was all like i am the instrument of your doom or whatever but nicky as peaceful death, the one who comes for those who die outside of battle, who carries souls gently from their bodies and makes it as painless as he can, who soothes the frightened ones and reassures the ones who cling to life, who is terrifying when he needs to be but always tries to be kind...... it makes me feel like 12 different emotions at once
