Athenaschosenhuman - Call Me Athena

So I made a Hozier reading list...

This is what I have so far.

For some books I'm still missing sources, and I know it's not complete or ✨️Aesthetic✨️. But if there is anything that you think should be on there, let me know.

i cant believe im alive and im just sitting in silence most of the time

Me @ myself anytime I open my mouth:

I know it is my father's first time on this Earth, too. And I know He had it worse when he was little.

But I was little too.

— Franz Kafka, from letters to his father

Really into the whole dog metaphor with love. Loyalty of a dog, willingness to please, but also dangerous and can bite. The guilt they have on their face when you scold them.

no matter how much i think i person might love me, i know there is someone there who they would choose over me without questioning

okay, hold on now. i think we need to count on fingers exactly how many powers nico has because as much as i loved tsats i think oshiro and rick really depowered him in the book as compared to the previous ones.

(no tsats spoilers, except for the third and fourth bullet points under 'will can'.)

nico can:

(titan's curse) make cracks appear in the ground and summon skeletons from the underworld.

(battle of labyrinth) summon and control spirits with some chanting.

(battle of labyrinth) cleave the ground open with his sword, and send spirits back to the underworld even if they don't wanna go.

(battle of labyrinth) control the earth. he made those boulders collapse by clapping his hands. i think rick just forgot about it later tbh.

(battle of labyrinth) kill people just by staring at them (daedalus), given that they've been cheating death for 2000 years or so.

(last olympian) wield stygian iron, call hordes of skeleton soldiers to fight titans, and shadow travel.

(blood of olympus) project his negative emotions onto people to such an extent that it disorients them and makes them nearly faint. lower the temperature (what).

(blood of olympus) TURN PEOPLE INTO GHOSTS BY LOOKING AT THEM AND THEN SEND THEM INTO THE UNDERWORLD VIA FALLING STRAIGHT DOWN.

(blood olympus) CONTROL DREAMS. UHM. TF. (remember reyna looking at him and going 'just how powerful is this kid?')

(blood of olympus) overpower six fully armoured roman warriors in swordfighting and knock them all out in ten seconds flat.

(tower of nero) turn indestructible bulls into a living carcass that follows his every command.

(tower of nero) actually make a human's skin wither away until they're a mindless skeleton that again follows nico's every command. yes, you read that right, he can turn people into walking skeletons just by touching them.

nico can't:

not eath blue birthday cake.

might have missed some but that list is long. i once again am furthering my 'nico is the most powerful demigod alive rn' agenda. oh, and we can't not mention will solace in a post about nico di angelo.

will can:

heal people with hymns.

glow in the dark.

shoot out light from his chest. (he's so cringe, i love him.)

give the protogenos of night a very snotty hay fever.

will can't:

play violin.

refuse to give nico forehead kisses.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you it’s just that I’m completely unfit for human interaction.

Nico's love is so raw and heavy and powerful

His love raises the dead, tears open the earth, brings people back to life, goes through literal hell, destroys courtyards, grants invincibility.

Nico is so defined by loving and acting out of love and his love is so strong it changes the narrative

i am nothing in my soul if not fucking dumb
