We actually did get some news about the Solangelo book in the middle! I think Mark did a couple of interviews and these are the points I know about the book so far (taken from two kind souls on tumblr whose usernames I forgot to list down and can no longer find): -Someone asked him "on a scale of 1 to 10, how gay is the Solangelo book?" and he responded with “700. I’ve always thought it’s strange that fans seem to think that Will and Nico are the only queer characters.” The person then proceeded to ask "You mean there's going to be more?" and he responded by saying "There's so many of them, some characters are coming out of the closet." -There's going to be a Lil Nas X reference in the book -There's a scene Mark wrote that was apparently too scary for the target audience so Mark changed the resolution to be something super silly and random and they're super proud of it and it's the editor's favourite scene in the book. -There's a male character that Mark felt didnt get enough attention so he's gonna have a role in the book. No clue as to who this is, however. -Mark actually changed a bit of Rick's outline for the book. -It is very very gay. very gay. said multiple times. -Nico is Mark's favourite character in PJO but he says that saying why would be a spoiler for the plot. So we're definitely getting more nicolore in the book.

I’m just saying, if Will doesn’t get some recognition in this book, i will literally riot ngl

I really want Will to have a POV since it's a "Nico di Angelo adventure", Nico could be the main protagonist with the main POV but maybe if they ever get separated or we need to know Will's thoughts, we can switch to his POV for only a few chapters. I really want Will to become more interesting as a character, he has so much potential.

Jason sees Will and Nico: "bEsTiEs! HoWs My GiRlFrIeNd?" Nico and Will: "..."

YAS. THE PJO FANDOM IS GONNA GO INSANE OVER THIS! Prepare for more Solangelo edits...

I am so excited for this book and my idea is that even though they are different characters and books , Magnus healed Amir's mind when he finds out about Sam and the Norse world. So we could see and I would love to see Will talk Nico through a flashback or if Nico mentally snaps lashing out with his powers and Will is like "Nico I love u, I'm not leaving you, I'm not leaving you ever" and uses his healing/light powers to get through to Nico showing him he is not alone. Also I want to see Will stand up to Hades for Nico or even see Hades give Will a shovel talk, that would be funny to see. 🖤💛

here is my theory: SOLANGELO FIRST KISS thats it. thats my theory

we're gonna see will's mom and nico is gonna find out why he can't see his mother

I really like the idea that Nico and Will break up hopefully not in Tartarus. but then one of them have a near death experience and get back together that would be SO cute. Also I hope we get both of they’re perspectives but even if we only get one it would be so interesting to see what they say about each other if they broke up. Cause I for sure think that they would still like each other.

I'm kinda interested in an Orpheus and Eurydice based plot. I always thought it would have been neat if Percy and Annabeth could have that plot in HoO (with Annabeth as Orpheus). (Also I strongly recommend the musical Hadestown.) But I would be really surprised if this new book actually followed that myth. Also I love your haircut!

I'm expecting that there will be some sad aspects to it, but I want there to be a good amount of Nico and Will being happy together, and I hope they will be in a good place at least by the end. Also, I would love to hear your reaction to the title reveal!

I think Will like Percy will discover hidden powers ....maybe Apollo's plague power.... Nico's powers are already dark i don't think they can get any darker except maybe uh like uk....do something about his strength and the ability to bring complete darkness in his surroundings with nocturnal vision for a sneak attack.....i think I am getting too far

as a mythology nerd i really, really want to see orpheus story with changed ending. i also saw thread on twitter mentioning that the books have covered most of popular myths (hercules, jason/argonauts, theseus etc.), so now it could be time for orpheus! at the same time though, it seems a bit obvious, so i'm not totally sure about it

Me, being Aussie, got super excited when she said that it was being released summer 2023 because I thought that it was coming out in about 4 months. Then I remembered that our seasons are complete opposites and that it will be a year. :(

Err Bob already got his memories back in house of hades and made the choice to be Bob. So unlikely to be an antagonist. I can seem the pair rescuing an imprisoned Bob and damsen with the help of little bob

*smiles* "I do think they're gonna suffer" Haha love ittt

14:33 Actually, Magnus saved Amir's (I think that's his name) mind from snapping when they were going on the rainbow bridge to Asgard. It's not exactly the same thing, but it's close

AAAAAAAAAAA I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN HOW EXCITED IM AM!!

I kinda want Will to have plague powers too ? Also want him to maybe see Michael or Lee

Niceeeeenew video it’s going to be amazing and really interesting I’m excited to see what you think of the book I agree with lots of the prompts hopefully will or nico won’t die but unfortunately Rick didnt and never will care about breaking our hearts

Question: How in hell (literally) are they going to get out? The doors of death have been freed, they're not in Tartarus anymore

I hope it will cute, funny, wholesome and action-packed.

I'm soo excited about this book! But the thing is... i haven't read the trials of apollo... Do I really need to? hahaha PS: I don't know about a Percy cameo, but one thing that I always wanted was to Nico and Percy really get along, as friends. Their relationship is so weird and had many troubles.

IM SCREAMING RIGHT NOW!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HUGE THAT WE ARE GETTING A SOLANGELO BOOK!!! AADSSSAHGJHHKSLKA

I can't wait to see his quest now

Soooo the question is…who is going to hold the elevator button for 12 minutes…I’m scared

I want Nico and Will to be made minor gods Tissues Will be required

Nooooooooooooooo I wanted to read it now but am excited

Me and my mom actually made a bet about the book, she’s saying at one point they’re breaking up, I say they’re not

Me watching this video and listening to the theories after reading the book makes me laugh most of the time

YES!!! NEW VIDEO!!! I ADMIRE YOU A LOT!!!

Im so exited (Apollo better be in this)

Yay!!! I’m so excited!!! Great vid!

We better not get another Jason, where someone dies after they had a point of view! Let's hope Rick learned his lesson!

8:14 no truer words have been spoken.

Me and one of my friends were talking about the book and she has a headcannon that Bianca escaped from the underworld and is alive. I thought that maybe Hades appointed her as a messenger or something and that's why Nico couldn't find her when he went to look for her in Elysium, but you said about Jason appearing and what is Hades did that but with JASON! Like Solangelo are in Tartarus when Hades specifically told them not to go and Jason has to go try bring them back

wait. what should i read before this? trials of apollo and??

Love the theories

Eeeeeeeeeeee I can't wait!!!!

Even though it will be sad I think their will be a Jason moment I think it would be hazel who they kill.

"tell the sun and the stars hello for me"

What about exploring piper’s sexuality

If you don't have a kiss, I'm going to cry and curse a lot Rick

My opinion for book: I would like the romance to be more like Annabeth and Percy. Like they delvope their romance over 5 book series and not have just a bunch of cute scene together thougout the 5 book??? Hope that make sense. I feel like they just kinda started dating so I rather see a progress of the realtionship then just cute scene stuff all over the 5 book. I also hope there isn;t too much romance (cuz the co author thing) cuz I like the amount of romance show in the pass first 2 series (Apollo didn;t really have romance) and wouldn;t want romance to be like central point as romance never been Rick focus in his book. I always love the action and myth part of it just as much as the romance. I don;t know about people coming out of the closet. I wouldn;t mind people who don't have romance panther already (Don;t want Percy to be bi as he never shown any interst in male and he is already 18. I kinda see it if he was like still 13-16 when people are still devloping but most people kinda figure out their perefence by 18/adulthood. That why I didn;t really have any issue with Piper. She was around 16 and still figuring stuff out. Not saying people don;t figure stuff out pass 18 but it would seem like they are just pushing an agenda now making Percy Bi after all these years IMO ) but old character who never shown much interst in other gender? I think we should just keep the old character as they were like Frank and Hazel being stright. I can see Leo and calypso since their realtionship isn;t too settle in so if one come of the closet, I wouldn;t be too shock. However, for couple already fully establish, I want them left alone.

Wait you don’t like Meg? Omg I love her she’s hilarious

Small bob's dying

I'm praying that Percy and Annabeth are not in this book.

So N-N-Nico or W-Will might d-d-d-d-die????? They will come back right? If Nico dies, I die So one of them will d-die
