“I found myself staring at her, which was stupid since I’ve seen her a billion times.” - percy Jackson tlo

had to illustrate this bc that scene is WAY too underrated.

(also don’t forget commissions are open for a limited time! Dm if interested!)

annabeth is so in love with percy. we don't get to see much of her inner thoughts and desires, but the little things stick out. little things like giving him her necklace when he fights ares because she stands with him no matter what. little things like knowing percy might be destined to be the hero of the great prophecy but befriending him anyway. little things like having major trust issues but letting percy hold her while she cries into his shoulder because she trusts him. little things like watching percy choose to be the hero of the great prophecy and shaking because she's terrified of losing him. little things like not being able to tell him the last line of the prophecy because she doesn't want to accept the reality that he might die on her quest. little things like a goodbye kiss in case the volcano does kill him because he can't die without him knowing that she loves him. little things like finding him immediately after the battle of manhattan and shooting her shot because she has her priorities straight and damn it, we fought in a war so it's about fucking time. little things like searching for him non-stop when he disappears four months after they made things official. little things like spotting him in the crowd eight months later and not meaning to run to him but doing it regardless because she's been away for him for so long and her love for him is so intense that her soul calls out to him. little things like dangling over the pits of tartarus and saying that he never looked so handsome while fighting for the two of them to be together. little things like—

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.
