Ever since I started writing on Wattpad, it has always been about Solangelo. And sometimes I sit back to think “why do I love this ship so much?” Like, it has consumed so much of me and some people might find it so weird that I’m a huge fangirl of a gay couple.
So I started to think about it and I think it’s because I went through a really bad depression stage and in most Solangelo AU’s, Nico, my favorite character from all of the PJO+ series, is usually a depressed emo kid. This means that I had someone to relate to. And in most books, Will is a really bright and bubbly person who falls for Nico and helps him get better. To me, that shows that love is love. Love doesn’t have a specific rule to follow. Opposites do attract eachother.
At the end of the day, this ship helped me accept that some day, there WILL be someone who’s willing to love me for me. Depression or not.
I don’t know if I’m just overthinking it, but I know that this fictional couple has helped me through some dark times.
