Apparently the current proposed name of the hypothetical ninth planet is Persephone which is such a good name I’m mad I didn’t think of it.

[charlesoberonn]

Allow me to explain why it’s such a great name:

It pays homage to Pluto, previously known as the ninth planet, since Persephone was Pluto/Hades’s wife in Greek Mythology

It helps make up for the gender inequality in the names of planets, since Venus is the only other planet named after a woman

If it exists, it’d be the coldest planet in the Solar System, and in Greek Mythology, it was Persephone’s time spent in the underworld that caused winter

I can’t believe none of the reasons were “It’s what Pluto would want.”

I’ve started so many Mermaid paintings over the years and never finished any of them. I think I put Mermaids onto some kind of art pedestal (thanks, Little Mermaid) and never thought my paintings could do them justice. 

Anyway, I made myself finish this one! Sæglópur, named for Sigur Ros of course. PSCC & Cintiq 22HD

“Percy threw his arms around her. They kissed and for a moment nothing else mattered. An asteroid could have hit the planet and wiped out all life, and Annabeth wouldn’t have cared.”
