Art forgery is the best crime tbh. It requires absolutely incredible artistic talent, technical skill, and attention to detail to make convincing fakes. Does anyone get hurt from it? No! The only people who suffer for it are the extremely wealthy who want the prestige of having original paintings in their own homes. It’s full of international intrigue and mystery. Perfect.

If Hades raised Nico and Bianca Part 10

Note: Nico is already 13 in this. Bianca is 15, and Hazel is also 15. Let's just assume nothing bad ever happened...

Hades, answering an Iris Message: Good morning, Niccol- Oh my Gods.

Nico, dressed up in smaller version of Hades' clothes: It's like looking in a mirror!

Hades: No, it isn’t, Nico.

Nico: Who's Nico?

Hazel, on the side: I already can't tell who's who.

Hades: Take that off

Nico: Persephone! Get over here and settle this!

Hades: Don't call your step mother by her name.

Persephone: What? *looks at Nico* Aww, travel-sized Hades, aww!

Hades: Persephone, don't encourage him

Bianca: Hey, Nico, have you seen my- oh wow, this is confusing.

Hades: No, it's not

Nico, impersonating Hades: You're my family and I love you but you're terrible! You're all terrible!

Hades: I don't say that

Hazel: Yes, it is, dad

Persephone: Ohhh, yes, it is.

Bianca: That's all you say.

Penelope: hey since you’re “not my kind and gentle husband” could you move that wedding bed bc I’m actually supposed to share that with my husband so…

Odysseus: *has just killed 108 people* *has not seen his wife in twenty years* *goes batshit at this bc THATS THE OLIVE TREE WHERE THEY FIRST MET!!*

Telemachus: oh hell nah, idgaf who you are no one yells at my-

Penelope: NO?! YOU WONT?! YEAH, I KNOW BECAUSE YOURE MY MAN! SO DONT PULL THAT EMO SHIT AGAIN OR YOULL SLEEP IN THE WEAPONS ROOM

…

Telemachus: my parents are perfect for each other

This is… genius oh my god.

I made a past post showing parallels between Gideon & Bill a while back but the main parallel I noticed are their relationships to Ford and Mabel:

They used to be close to Ford/Mabel before their messed up actions caused a falling out between them

Gave them chances to join their side

Held them captive during the course of Weirdmaggedon

Now this could've been accidental and me just reading into things but the Book of Bill had this recurring idea of Bill being Ford's toxic, abusive ex. It just really cemented this parallel and the idea of Bill being Ford's Gideon.

IN ADDITION - While this might be reaching, I think with this idea in mind, there's an additional way to read to Gideon's line:

"Bill explained it to me nice and simple. She was always destined to be mine. Now that I have her trapped in a cage, she'll learn to love me. I have an eternity to wait"

Another way to read that is, Bill's projecting onto Gideon & Mabel a bit and this was what he initially had planned with Ford: Keep them trapped, and use the endless amounts of time they have to make him "learn" to love him, but then the barrier surrounding Gravity Falls derailed that

I am of the opinion that Silver being brought up in an apocalyptic future means he can snap on a dime when he needs to
