The fact Reyna and Hylla's dad became a mania.
Not because he couldn't fathom a life without Bellona and spent his life self sabotaging.
And all those emotions, and pain corrupting who he became in death, like it did to Beryl Grace.
No he became a mania because he was a soilder in Iraq and his PTSD from returning from war made him abusive to his children.
The "madness" from this turned him into a mania and he has to be killed by Reyna.
... What the fuck...
Scipio angst time. He was the purest source of comfort for Reyna, offering no judgement nor confusion. He supported her and carried her throughout her time in new Rome. He died protecting her. He died a Roman death, just like death. Because not even a Pegasus is protected from the altar of sacrifice on which Rome is built. She is soaked in his blood and must kill him in order to relieve him. His blood is on her hands, and her guilt comes not from him not deserving the fate she gave him, but that it was the kindest one she could have.
!Vent warning!

Crack head cannon
Imagine if at both Camps everyone thinks Reyna and Hylla hate eachother due to them bickering alot and fighting alot.
Instead, what if they're just acting like normal siblings, fighting eachother and annoying eachother, but no one else has full siblings so everyone just acts as friends.
So those two could be arguing and insulting eachother, but if anyone else tries to be rude to them they will get murdered n shit.
Also, Hylla would be the only one able to get Reyna to rest and go Medical, and is the only person Rey lets hug her.
More importantly, the Amazons could visit Camp Jupiter, and a few hours the campers panic bc Reyna and Hylla are in a room together alone, having run off at the start. And the campers find them just hanging out and laughing, which Reyna rarely does, confusing everyone.
Slight au
Since Circe was a sorceress and could do magic & shit, and Reyna was at Circe's Island aswell, Reynard could've technically learnt magic there.
What if Reyna had learnt magic with Circe, but it was just very hard to control and very dangerous, so she can only do it with Hylla ( who was older at the time and so had better control of the magic)
Imagine Hylla visiting Camp Jupiter and forcing Reyna to use the magic she hasn't used in years, slowly building up in power .
Imagine Reyna just being tired of Legionarres and turning them into animals by accident, or when everyone is shouting in a senate meeting - silencing everyone without realising.
Sorry for coming for you, babe. We're just too similar.
happy loop day peculiars !! featuring my now healed tattoo !!

I love the bit and we’re Morgan just kind of forgets that Alex is an option  and how each and every single time without fail Alex his feelings get hurt
And the fact that I’m pretty sure a good majority of the times that this has happened. It was purely by accident like Morgan just genuinely forgot that Alex was an option. .
