Bianca Di Angelo - Blog Posts

Okay, I was scrolling through tik tok and found something really interesting (the user is @.xqzcvi)

The post got me thinking of the Di Angelo’s.

‘I can’t love you any more’

(Nico Di Angelo, the younger brother who finally understands all his sister’s sacrifices and how much she has helped him)

‘I can’t love you anymore’

(Bianca Di Angelo, the older sister who after years spent dedicating herself to her little brother wants to live her life and think about herself)

And this makes so much sense to me. Many people judge Bianca’s decision for leaving Nico, and even though it was half wrong, she was just a kid. A kid that was tired of being the big sister, the adult, the older one, the responsible. She was a kid, and maybe she didn’t want to be just a sister.

Maybe she just wanted to be Bianca Di Angelo.

Her decision of joining the hunters was to finally live her own life, and not taking care of Nico all the time. She trusted the camp, and trusted Percy over all to care for Nico, as she knew he would be in capable hands.

Bianca loved Nico. But he isn’t everything to her. And that isn’t bad.

My baby !!!! He sounds like a baby !!!

Went back to look at the episode where people say they can hear(presumably Nico) calling Bianca’s name

It’s right when they stand in front of the VR station, and the voice is MUCH louder than the rest of the people during the scene

there's something really emotional for me about the Percy Jackson TV series

When my brother died and I lost alot of him, I found an absolutely destroyed book which I didn't even know the title of because the front pages had been ripped out and the cover had fallen off. The first line was "Look, I didn't want to be a half blood".

My brother had three pjo books - the lighting thief, the sea of monsters, and the battle of the labyrinth. I consumed those books looking for my brother, but when my mother bought me new versions, including the titians' curse, which explained a lot I didn't know before, I found my favourite series instead and a feeling of being seen with the whole adhd and dyslexic thing. I stopped looking for him.

But when I think about it, I did find him. He had Percy's sarcasm, Jason's sense of honor and doing right (I know he's HOO but he counts and I love him), he definitely had dyslexia but the jury's out on the ADHD, Chiron's knowledge from experiences none of us want to live through but want the lessons from, Classrie's fight and anger, Annabeth's real-life intelligence and street smarts, Tyson's unwavering devotion to his sibling (s in my brother's case), Luke's rage at the system, Bianca's unfair lot but determination to make life the best it can be for their younger siblings.

My brother died at 14 in 2013. He never saw me even hit double digits in age, never saw me go to university, never read Heroes of olmpus. But he's here, I think, in some small way.

Now, ten years from when I lost my brother, there's a TV series of what was his favourite series and mine. It's like reading the books for the first time again and finding my brother again.

My favorite headcanons about the Di Angelo family. I have a genuine interest in them, so please bear with me!

Maria di Angelo was born in 1909 and met Hades and Persephone in 1932, during a party at the Italian embassy in the US. She had Bianca in 1933, and Nico in 1935 (I refuse in any way Rick's idea that the two were born at the end of the 20s, it doesn’t make with the timeline, but when does it make sense?)

She had an older brother, Michele, who was born in 1907, a younger sister, Elisabetta, born in 1919, and an older cousin, Giulio, born in 1908

Giulio went to live with them after the death of his father during WW1 because he was already an orphan of his mother, who died during childbirth. They grew up all together

These four kids didn't have many friends, except for the Adriani siblings, Alessandro (1906) and Vittoria (1909, but younger than Maria)

The Adriani are from both Naples and Rome (because of an arranged marriage), while the Di Angelo are from around Venice

The two families became friends because the two fathers met during the war and continued to see each other after the end of it because they both went into politics. The Di Angelo's became an ambassador, while the Adriani's a senator

During her adolescence, Maria had a little crush on Alessandro, but he always saw her as a little sister

Maria had a relationship with both Hades and Persephone but decided to cut it after Nico's birth, not because she wanted to but to protect her children from her father and older brother

She and Alessandro got married, to help her, but also to hide the relationship between Alessandro and Giulio (it was her idea, and she knows everything). They got married in 1937

Vittoria is Maria's best friend and always supported her

Ironically, I think Di Angelo's flower symbol is a white chrysanthemum, and Maria gave one to Michele before he went to Russia

All the family died during the war, while the Adriani siblings survived and are the only ones who remember them as people and not as symbols

The two parents died a few months before Italy's entrance into the war, Giulio and Elisabetta both died of pneumonia in 1942 (early year), while Michele died of hypothermia in Russia during the retreat (1943). Maria died because of Zeus, obv (in 1944)

Nobody in Italy knows what happened to Maria and her kids, even though Alessandro and Vittoria tried to find them. They became some sort of urban legend

Alessandro was sent to Africa during the war, hoping to see them again once he returned, but that never happened

Plus, I think Hades amplified Maria's sight. You know, when mortals can see over the Mist? Yeah, Maria could manipulate also her dreams, but this led her to make some sort of contact with Naomi Solace. The two of them started to see each other every night, and both of them started to develop some feelings for each other, a mix of eros and agape, something like that

Some of Naomi's songs are about her, like "Girl of the Forest" or "Fallen Angel" (I know, they are cringe titles, I'm very sorry!)

Naomi still dedicates some songs to Maria, even though she knows she's not here anymore

Plus, during HoO, when Argo II is in Venice, Nico, Hazel, and Frank meet a group of friends who are wandering in the city. They are very similar physically to Nico's relatives and one girl in particular reminds him of Maria. They aren't their reincarnations, but they are similar to them. This girl is also obsessed with Naomi's music and Di Angelo's story

And those are my main headcanons about them, right now I cannot think of others, but if I have others, I will share!

R.I.P. Bianca, you would've loved having Percy as an older sibling figure

Idc what yall say, I fully believe that if Bianca had lived her and Percy would've been close as hell regardless if she stayed a hunter

Because Bianca has been parentifed to hell and back and I know that girl would've thrived if she had someone like Percy looking out for her while she was doing her own thing

IT’S CONFIRMED! NICOOOOOOOO

bianca was playing the vr with a bow and arrow and earlier you can hear nico screaming "biancaaaa" its so cute

Part 4🫡

Ares

It’s worth saying that I REALLY like him in books I'm sorry

Charlie Beckendorf. I tried to add more Greek features to him, but I didn’t like how it turned out at all, I think I should have made him a much more bigger guy💪

Bianca💞 I really like it, as well as the art (although it is sloppy), it coincided with my ideas

Aphrodite Her image in the book is literally changeable, which really confused me and in general I don’t like the art hahahaha, but she’s cool

Tyson🐬

Haha, I like the way he looked in the film adaptation 🙈, so long hair suits him

And again continued in the next part

I’m not really in the Percy Jackson fandom, but you can’t tell me that Persephone didn’t treat all of Hades’s kids like they were her own. Don’t get me wrong Hades was in so much trouble but she did not take that out on the kids those kids had nothing to do with it she treated them like they were her own.

Pick A Song

"You're alone," said his step-mother, a wicked smile on her lips.

"They will come." But Nico wasn't sure.

He walked in, Hazel was in the living room, reading a book, Frank was at his side, sitting straight, in a different chair than Hazel, too nervous.

"Leo and Jason?"

"They will come."

Hazel sighed, patting at his side, where Nico sat, burying his fingers on his tights.

Being in a polyamory relationship was hard, especially when his family mocked him about that, even Hazel, sweet and caring, looked at him weirdly.

"Nico, dad is expecting you, he's in his office."

Bianca was standing, avoiding his eyes, walking away when Nico passed at her side, his heart still aching.

"None of your boys came."

"They're late, Leo is working, soon he will get a patent, the youngest boy getting one."

Nico's voice was angry, the teasing in his father's tone infuriating him, the words dripping venom.

"And Jason, his father still spoiling him? at least Valdez has his own money"

"The scholarship of Jason isn't a gift"

Mr. di Angelo waved, standing from his desk, walking to the dining room, where the rest of the family was waiting.

Thanks to god, only his sisters, father, and step-mother were there, but he was expecting Jason and Leo, the family wouldn't be so mean in their presence.

He could fake an emergency, though, Leo burning something, Jason injured, an imaginary pet dying.

While he considered causing an accident, the doorbell rang, the heart of Nico pumping, he almost ran to open the door, Leo and Jason on the door.

"Sorry, babe, Superman got stuck at the laundry."

Nico hugged Leo, breathing deeply, kissing his jaw, barely crying, feeling safe with his boys.

"Hi, Neeks, I'm really sorry."

Jason was holding a bouquet, a shy smile, bitting the little scar on his face, reaching Nico's hand, interweaving their fingers, kissing them.

"At least you're here."

Also manifesting a cameo of the di Angelos, it might not happen but I'm delusional

and if i said “younger sibling growing older than dead older sibling” is the saddest trope ever?
