My guilty pleasure: TwilightXPJO crossover fics where Bella is actually a Mary Sue demigod who dunks on all the vampires when Edward dumps her and shows off how much more awesome she is

I was rereading son of Neptune and it occurred to me than it would have been really interesting if Percy had actually gone by Perseus until he received his memories back because it wasn’t uncommon in pjo that when gods or monsters first encountered Percy, they would often use his whole name Perseus Jackson.

But in SON, the sisters of Medusa immediately call him “Percy” and maybe you could even assume from the text that Lupa did as well considering this is what Percy refers to himself as, despite having no memory.

And I think it would have been more impactful if Percy had woken, no memory, and Lupa called him Perseus Jackson, and from there on out thats how he referred to himself. In a literary sense, it would have created a distinction between our Percy Jackson, the boy we know from the original series, who hated his full name and went by his nickname, and Perseus, the boy with no memory, and doesn’t know to correct anyone because he doesn’t remember. 

By simply changing something so basic and yet so fundamental to him, it could have established a greater sense of uncertainty for the readers on if he was really going to get his memory back. It also would’ve been cool to see characters like Hazel, Frank, and Reyna call him Perseus and, after he got his memory back, whether or not he would correct them, and if they would accidentally still call him that if he did.

not to pat myself on the back or anything but like, can you imagine reading the Son of Neptune for the first time, desperately wanting to know whats happened to Percy, and the character narration name of the chapter is Perseus?

And when he gets his memory back, we flip the page to the next chapter, and the name is now, once more, Percy? I would have rioted.

The romans distrusting the son of Neptune with the name of a greek hero… distrusting the boy with name that means to destroy.

Or imagine, when Percy talks with Nico, and Nico slips and says “Percy………us” and it feels like a jolt in Percy’s spine.  

Perseus is a raw as hell name and it really could have been utilized here.

Lots of people say ricks writing is bad or the representation could be better or whatever but like… This…. This is Important

[dressespercywouldwear]

GUYS!!! ITS THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN AND THE HEIGHTS OF THE SKY!!!

[dressespercywouldwear]

he would spin around in circles in this dress

[dressespercywouldwear]

Percy would probably hate that the Second Giant War was told from his perspective and that the books were named after him

[dressespercywouldwear]

I literally would die if I saw a pic of Percy in one of these dresses

[dressespercywouldwear]

tratie killin it once again with two dogs that were absolutely not stolen for this photoshoot

[dressespercywouldwear]

I looked up gold dresses, but they were all too plain. I feel like Hazel would wear an art dress, y'know? And this dress has details.

I sound like an idiot trying to talk about dresses.

[dressespercywouldwear]

imagine Jason flying in this. beautiful boy.

[dressespercywouldwear]

“what are you talking about, piper? this is a casual look. i can totally still play capture the flag in this dress.”

[dressespercywouldwear]

Can you imagine Jason flying in this dress? He’d look like a stormy cloud!

[dressespercywouldwear]
