hear me out guys. bottom!will solace isn’t just hot. it’s a full-on character study.
we always see him written as the calm one. the steady one. the one who holds everything together. and that absolutely makes sense—he’s the camp’s head medic, he keeps people alive, he’s responsible, dependable, always putting others first. he’s the one who drags Nico out of the shadows and doesn’t flinch. he’s strong. he’s in control.
but what if all of that control is exhausting?
what if Will—who spends all day making decisions, fixing people, managing crises—actually wants to let go when he’s with someone he trusts? not because he’s weak or submissive in a simplistic way, but because it’s the only time he gets to stop holding the world up. it’s the only time he gets to focus on what he feels instead of what he needs to do.
he’s a child of Apollo, raised to shine, to soothe, to be the golden boy. and that can be a heavy role. he carries so much pressure, not just from the world but from himself. he’s the kind of person who people expect to be okay all the time, who makes himself okay for other people. that builds up. and the more he tries to control it all, the more you know he probably craves a space where he doesn’t have to.
and that’s where bottom!Will becomes something intimate and powerful. not just sexy, but safe. because to give up control, you need trust. to let someone else take the lead, you need to feel completely seen and accepted. that kind of surrender becomes emotional. vulnerable. and no one makes more sense for that than Nico.
because Nico is the one person who doesn’t expect anything from Will except for him to be real. he’s not afraid of Will’s darkness or messiness. he doesn’t want him to be perfect. and Will knows that. he trusts that. so of course he’d feel safe enough with Nico to give up the act, to stop being the healer or the bright one or the caretaker, and just exist in someone else’s hands for once.
that’s not weak. that’s not soft in a diminishing way. it’s deep. it’s powerful. it’s one of the clearest signs of love and trust we could get from a character like Will.
so yeah. give me bottom!Will who shudders when the tension leaves his body. who’s used to carrying everyone else and finally gets to be held. who gets to feel instead of fix. who gets to fall apart a little and know he won’t be left behind.
to me, that’s not just smut. that’s a love story.
@onetiny-inkdropuniverse I know u share my vision!!
it’s aidens fault they’re in the phantom world actually
I love things about Cecil and Lou ellen they are so underrated.
They need more love
Some Will, Lou Ellen, Cecil, and Nico hcs because their friendship is underrated:
Will's favorite movie specifically is The Empire Strikes Back. Cecil's is Turbo, Lou Ellen's is A Nightmare Before Christmas, and Nico's is The Wizard of Oz
Adding onto that, Cecil's top song of 2024 was The Snail is Fast and absolutely no one at camp was surprised at all.
Nico usually claims his favorite movie is something else (probably some slasher film, which he does like) but the real reason is because one of his only memories he got back pre-Lethe is going to see The Wizard of Oz in theaters with his moter and Bianca a bit after moving to the U.S.
I read a fic once where Lou Ellen was from Albany and it stuck in my mind.
In that vein, I hc that Cecil was the son of Hermes from Wisconsin that Hermes mentions in TLO.
Naomi took all of them to get piercings once when she was visiting. It was Nico's first piercing, so he just got his lobes pierced, but Will, Lou Ellen, and Cecil got matching industrial piercings on their left ears.
Will and Lou Ellen have matching stick and poke tattoos (a heart) on their ankles from when they were 14. Cecil was going to get it as well but he's afraid of needles and couldn't do it.
Lou Ellen tried to teach Nico simple mist manipulation when she found out his sister could, but Nico turned out to be pretty hopeless.
Cecil invited Will and Lou Ellen to his bar mitzvah even though he's only known them for like 5 weeks when he had it. His mother wasn't the happiest about having to find 2 additional plates with little time, but it happened.
All four of them listen to Naomi's music together, and even though Lou Ellen is goth and traditionally goth music she makes an exception for Naomi and will (and has) fought someone in her mortal school over them saying all country music sucks.
Lou Ellen does goth makeup on the Nico and Cecil, usually Nico though. She did it once on Will and everyone agreed he looked so weird they vowed to never do it again.
A Future Beyond War Starts With You 💙
My name is Naser, and war has taken everything from me—my mother, my sister, my home, and the life I once knew. In an instant, my world was shattered, leaving behind nothing but memories and the weight of loss.
But even in the darkest moments, I refuse to give up. Because amidst the pain, I still have something worth fighting for—my three younger brothers.
🔹 One dreams of becoming a doctor, to heal others so they don’t have to endure the pain we’ve faced.
🔹 Another aspires to be an engineer, hoping to one day rebuild what war has destroyed.
🔹 And the youngest? He doesn’t have big dreams yet—he just wants to be a kid again, to wake up in a home that feels safe, to play without fear.
🏡 We Need a Home. We Need Education. We Need Hope.
Right now, we are not just fighting for survival—we are fighting for the chance to live, to grow, to dream again. We are fighting for a future where my brothers can become the doctor, the engineer, the child who gets to have a childhood.
💙 This is where you come in.
I’m not asking for much—just a chance. A chance to rebuild, to give my brothers a future beyond war.
Your support, whether through a donation or simply sharing our story, can make all the difference. Even the smallest act of kindness can create ripples of change.
🙏 Will you help us rebuild?
Together, we can prove that war doesn’t get the final word—hope does. Thank you for standing with us. 💙✨

Will: If it’s any consolation, Nico got me there under a very misleading text message.
Reyna: Technically, you were about to be screwed in the biology room.
Pls reblog!! Need a big sample size, as this is a scientific experiment... obviously...
This is a safe place no bullying! I can give recommendations if you want some webtoons, books, and songs
