I Genuinely Don’t Understand Nico X Alabaster, Someone Please Explain To Me How It Makes Sense At All

More Frank Zhang head cannons because I’m nuts

(Spoiler warning for The Burning Maze and The Tyrants Tomb from TOA)

-Frank has burn scars over the hand that he held the stick that was his lifeline when he set it on fire to kill Caligula

-Frank ends up working in education (.i.e. teacher/professor)

-Every time he and Hazel visit CHB, he plays Mythomagic with Nico for at least 2-3 hours

-He and Hazel had a memorial built at the top of Temple Hill for Jason shortly after the funeral, listing Jason’s contributions to the hill itself, Camp Jupiter, Camp Half-Blood, the wars he was involved in, and the personal impact he had on everyone he knew and loved. The flowers are always replaced with fresh ones once they wilt

-Frank’s favorite color is either red, cream/light beige, or light purple (he just seems like a lavender kind of guy, y’know?)

-He can cook. Like, really good. (His grandmother taught him, I’d imagine)

-Frank is ambidextrous

-Frank has/had a pet rat(s) at some point in his life

-He is so lactose intolerant that he actually just throws up (there’s probably a different name for that)

That’s all I got for now, BYE 🤪

I have a headcanon that at one point during Blood of Olympus, the girls periods were all synced and so the boys were all trying their best to avoid aggravating them.

(Because you can’t tell me that Leo and Jason haven’t been on the receiving end of Piper and Percy has DEFINITELY made a bad joke around Annabeth during her time of month)

Anyway, at one point during the trip all three girls are on the top side of the boat and they’re fighting wilding griffins. Frank (being the kind lovable oaf he is) kinda gets worried because it sounds like there’s a rave going on topside.

He knows perfectly well that the girls can handle themselves, but he (being Frank) is just worried about his friends, so he heads up to see if they need any help.

When he gets up there all he sees is carnage.

But not of the girls.

There are feathers littered everywhere and monster dust is just raining down along the deck. In the middle of the boat, Piper, Annabeth and Hazel are beating this massive griffin like some sort of piñata.

Frank, like any sane person seeing the wrath of an angry teenage female, runs back below and hides in his room.

It was at this point that Frank truly realised he shouldn’t fear death. Because there are WORSE things than death. Like what he just witnessed.

Now whenever Hazel has her time of month, he gives her a block of chocolate as a peace offering and hopes that it will be enough.

Hmmm…

HMMMMMM…

me when my favorite character gets killed

I have to walk outside for at least one hour a day or the big sad starts to creep in

PJO Frank Zhang head cannons (he’s my bbg guys, trust 🙏🏻🙏🏻)

I feel like Frank would love cooking, specifically vintage recipes. He just finds the idea of what people in the past thought was good enough to put into a cook book fascinating.

He’d definitely have a book shelf for all of the cook books he’s gifted as well lol

ABSOLUTELY PEAK TAKE ON FRANK ZHANG

The day that people accept that Frank Zhang is more than just an insecure but strong softie is the day I rest because WHY does nobody remember little vro being canonically pessimistic as fuck. Even if he didn't say half the things he thought (which he most certainly did), the guy was absolutely the mayor of frown town at times.

What do you mean you never realized he was bitter and resentful outside of Leo? You missed the part where he started acting out after his mother died? HE SHATTERED HIS GRANDMA'S FINE CHINA DAWG. Brochacho constantly got frustrated by how perfect Percy was. He was pissed when Hazel held hands with Leo. HE CHOKESLAMED CALIGULA?? THAT TRIP GUY? He definitely CONSIDERED beating the shit out of Nico when be couldn't heal her. WIPED OUT A FLEET OF THOSE POISON SPEWING COWS?? he set himself on FIRE. That man can turn himself into a dragon, a swarm of bees, and fuck knows what else. A praetor with Mar's ability to control the dead.

OBVIOUSLY Frank is a gentle guy, but it's BECAUSE he's GROWN to be emotionally mature enough to deal with most of those emotions. That dude had Ares AND Mars telling him to beat the shit out of fuck ass da grease ball. HE SHOVED A SOCK IN A GODDESSES MOUTH, HIS OWN DAMN SOCK.

I need more angsty Frank that isn't just him hating his body or Leo. Those were just the tip of the iceberg for a whole mother load of issues.

The aftermath of Atticus vs Lester…

Apollo stumbled into Camp Jupiter, with his bloodied face and Meg trailing along behind him, snickering softly to herself. Frank stood by the gates, hands on his hips and smirking. He chuckled, “So, didn’t go as you planned, eh?”

Apollo frowned, “You knew this would happen?”

Frank shrugged, “Possibly. I mean, I did warn you not to go looking for him.”

The former god huffed, “You could’ve told me that he’d whoop my ass!”

The tall demigod crossed his arms over his chest, “It’s kind of a prerequisite when Atti’s mad at you for something. Thought you would’ve known already.”

“No! I’ve never met the kid before!”

Meg was trying to bite back her laughter. Frank shrugs, “Well, at least you know now.”

He looked closer at Apollo’s face, shaking his head, “Damn dude, did you even try to defend yourself? He got you pretty good.”

Apollo turned his head, “No! One second I’m trying to get him to help us, and the next thing I know he’s jumping off of his weird ass horse thing and practically force feeding me his fists! The little jackass tried to kill me too! See!”

He pointed to the small, bleeding cut on the side of his throat. Frank snorted, “Oh please, that’s nothing. And besides, he didn’t try to kill you, because Atticus doesn’t ‘try’ anything, he just does. Consider yourself lucky.”

Apollo looked at Frank, going slack-jawed and looking mildly horrified, “What on Demeter’s green earth do you mean by that?”

The demigod just shrugged, still smirking smugly.

The former god sighs, “That doesn’t answer my question.. At least he’s not still angry….”

He looks at Frank, “Right? Right??”

Frank lets out a short laugh, “Oh, no, he’s definitely still pissed. But he vented a bit of anger.”

Reyna spoke up, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, “If he vented out all of his anger, he would’ve deleted the entire state of California.”

Apollo jumped and yelped, nearly falling to the ground, “Holy shit!! Where did you come from?!”

Reyna gestures vaguely to Camp Jupiter, “Over there.”

“Oh, thanks. How helpful.” Apollo deadpanned.

FRANK MY KING, MY SPIRIT ANIMAL 😭😭

frank internal monologue is like "I hate it here" -> "why do I suck so bad" -> "omg hazel hiiii ☺️" -> "I'm two bad jokes from ending it all" -> "I love breakfast food" -> "(virulent bitching)" -> "I'm literally gouing to die"
