Don't mind me, I'm just feeling a bit too much masochistic tonight. It's just both tumblr and twitter suddenly gave me too much feel for Nico in one day and I just can't handle it.

First I heard this beautiful song by Paola Bennet that's inspired by Nico, and then I saw Viria's picture of drawning Nico, and then I saw the song had also been praised by Rick Riordan himself. So yeah ... I'm just going to put more pain in my heart by turning the song and art to a video.

To tell the truth I never thought that Paola Bennet will be that awesome, I mean I went to check all the song in her soundcloud (I put enough link in the end of this description so you better follow at least one of it hehehe) and like it instantly. She has such an amazing voice that can just grab people. I love it.

The artwork is my compilation of viria's Nico's pic. Don't get me wrong, I know there're a lot of fan-art of Nico in tumblr--and I've also been through viria's and minuiko's art-war(tumblr you share my feeltrip), but it's not in my habit of mixing somebodies artworks with another, it's just doesn't do the artists justice to just compile their hardwork with another artist work--it's just my conscience--I do love the idea of collaboration though ehehe, it's just even though some of the artstyle are similar, I still see it as a different work, and as much as I like a lot of artist, I still have to choose, and my choice fall on viria (mostly because I collect her artwork).
