Sirius:*at The Girl's Gossip Night* So I Was Lying In My Bed Talking To Remus The Other Day And I Go,'Hey

Sirius:*at the girl's gossip night* So I was lying in my bed talking to Remus the other day and I go,'Hey Moony, put a new record on' and he says 'Do it yourself' and I say, 'But you're closer' and he just looks at me for a good 30 seconds and then says, 'Pads you're a wizard. USE YOUR WAND'

Marlene: Merlin Sirius you are stupid.

Lily: Christ we can't take you anywh- wait a second.

Sirius: What?

Lily: I've been in your dorm before. Remus's bed is on the other side of the record player. It is literally on your nightstand. How was he possibly closer to it than you?

Sirius: Oh. He was on pete's bed.

Mary: No, Pete's bed is the furthest bed away from yours, even further than Remus's.

Sirius: Oh wait no, he was sitting at the desk.

Mary: All the rooms are laid out the same, THE DESKS ARE AT THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM.

Marlene: The only way Remus would have been closer is if you two were sharing a bed.

Sirius: What! No!! What makes you think that??

Mary: Just that all the evidence points to it.

Peter:*just walking in* What does all the evidence point to?

Lily: Sirius and Remus sharing a bed.

Peter: Pffft that's old news. You know what's the biggest piece of gossip I know. Prongs just snuck Regulus Black into the dorm and locked the door.

Sirius: HE DID WHAT!??!!??!!? JAMES FLEAMONT POTTER I'M COMMING TO HUNT YOU DOWN.

the savior of new rome

when I was a little kid at some point I got upset with my parents because I didn't have a crucifix in my bedroom and they did- I was like why do YOU get to be safe from vampires??? you're okay with me getting my blood sucked???? so we took a little trip to the catholic store but the one closest to us was run by a group of nuns that had been moved here from romania. I got a little baby pink cross and this sweet old nun was like 'aww, is this a baptism gift?' and I was like no. I need to be protected from vampires. and she immediately got SO serious and was like 'this is the best one we've got, you'll definitely be safe' and since she was literally from vampire land I was convinced she was like, van helsing. like the whole time my parents had been laughing about how cute my fear was but she literally Knew dracula and was taking my concerns seriously I held this over my parents for so long lmfao

There's so many disastrous opportunities involving Nico's ability to go into someone's dream. I'm picturing shortly after HoO Nico travels to Will's dream one night to deliver a message that for whatever reason can't wait until morning

And Nico stops in surprise because Will is sitting there on a grassy hill, apparently in the middle of a picnic on a perfect day, overlooking Camp Half Blood. But he's with someone. Someone very familiar. Almost like they're on a date...

And Will looks over and sees him and is like, "Wow. Two Nico di Angelos? Ohhh, so it's gonna be one of those dreams, huh? Weird by now I'd be wearing less clothes-"

And Nico is like. "What? No! I'm not part of- of whatever this is... I'm here to deliver a message-" Nico couldn't even begin to process what Will just said for fear his head would implode in embarrassment.

"Wait. You're the real Nico?"

"Yeah, I can travel through dreams sometimes. Now-"

"Since when?? You've never told me that! Oh gods. Oh no. You have to leave."

"Fine. I'm just here to tell you-" And then the scene shifts.

And suddenly instead of a nice picnic they're standing in the woods, facing each other. Now wearing traditional greek robes, holding hands. All their friends are there, sitting in neat little rows, all dressed as if this were a wedding or something. Wait... The decorations... the tree arch... these were wedding robes. It was a wedding.

"Do you, William Andrew Solace, take Nico di Angelo to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Asks Chiron, wearing a tuxedo from the waist up.

"Uhhh," Will glances at Nico awkwardly.

And Nico is again frozen in shock. And definitely blushing. And his heart is pounding so hard he thinks he's going to wake up any second. He yanks his hands away from Will.

"Kayla needs you in the infirmary." He blurts out.

"You couldn't wake me up to tell me this??" Will hisses, face red as a tomato.

"There was an accident and I shadow travelled away with Kayla and Harley and I kind of passed out- This was the fastest way-"

"Fine. Can you wake me up from here? Slap me awake or whatever?"

"Uh, maybe." Nico looked around. Usually dreams weren't so... detailed. "The easiest way is to shock you out of the dream. Catch you by surprise."

"Okay, uh, summon a monster!"

"Well, now you'll be expecting that." Nico rolled his eyes. Will scowled in response.

"Do something! If Kayla's in trouble-"

So, Nico kisses him. Partially because he knew it'd shock Will. Partially to shut him up. Partially because he just really wanted to kiss Will Solace and he had the perfect excuse to do it and he had to go for it before he lost his nerve-

It worked. Will's face was frozen in the most adorable surprised expression and the dream dissipated.

Will awoke in his bunk with a gasp and rushed to the infirmary, not even bothering to put on his sandles.

"He kissed me he kissed me he kissed me- oh gods he saw my vision of us getting married. Oh gods I told him I dream about him not wearing clothes. But he kissed me he kissed me he actually kissed-"

Running high on adrenaline he was relieved to see Kayla and Harley were mostly fine. Kayla had twisted her ankle pretty badly, though. Nico was still passed out.

"How did you know we were in here?" Kayla eventually asked.

"Nico told me. He, uh, can visit dreams." Will said as he convinced Harley to drink a little more nectar. Poor kid was only nine years old, too exhausted to talk. He would no doubt fall asleep any second.

"Wait. But lately all your dreams have been..."

"Snippets of the future? About him? I know, Kayla."

"You're blushing so hard right now. Ohmygods wait. Did he walk in during one of those dreams?"

"No! He... it was the wedding one."

"So now he knows you two get married in the future, huh?"

"As far as he knows it was just a dream, not a vision, got it?"

"Got it."

"Kayla, I'm serious-"

"Fine! Sheesh. I swear on the Styx I won't tell Nico it was anything more than a dream." Kayla crossed her arms. "Good luck convincing him to keep his mouth shut, though."

Harley smiled, already half asleep. "Will and Nico sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I... n.....g....." He started snoring softly.

Will tapped his chin thoughtfully. "You know if I give him a sedative he probably won't remember this conversation-"

"William Andrew Solace, don't you dare-"

Children of Hades

i’ve been meaning to do some character design for the godly children of hades, and i had a some thoughts floating around in my head around them so here it is!

Macaria: Goddess of blessed death and the eldest daughter of Hades. I picture her as being tall and willowy with pale skin, long white hair and pointed ears. There’s no historical text to support this claim, but i head canon her as the daughter of leuke, an oceanid that was taken by hades and whose body was transformed into a poplar tree when she died. The sources only mention Hades and not a mother

Melinoe: Goddess of ghosts and nightmares and daughter of Persephone. like in most representations of her i split her hair color right down the middle, but instead of doing that with her skin, she has vitiligo. Unlike her gentle sister, she’s rather moody with a bit of an attitude.

Zagreus: God of hunting and rebirth and son of Persephone. In the Orphic myths, he was a son of Zeus who was torn apart by titans and reborn as Dionysus, but here he is alive and well and thriving as child of the underworld. He’s close friends with Dionysus and often gets mistaken for him. 

I’ve actually draw this version of Zagreus a lot and i have @happyk44 to thank for his design! here’s an inked sketch of him below and link to my paintings of him.
