Very attached to the idea that if Percy had been a woman she would have been named Ariadne. Like, I know that Persephone is a popular fanon name for female Percy because it's a nice way to keep her nickname. I've also seen Andromeda used by some because she lives a long life with Perseus in the myths. But Sally would have at least considered it right? Because Ariadne's a popular female figure in mythology, linked to both Theseus and Dionysus, two other famous figures in mythology. She was a clever mortal princess who was dealt a bad hand because her father's arrogance allowed him to think that he could get away with defying a god, just like how Poseidon's arrogance allowed him to think that he could get away with breaking the pact he made with Zeus and Hades. And in the end, Ariadne survived both her family's legacy and Theseus's abandonment, becoming Dionysus's immortal wife in both the PJO universe and in many retellings of the myth of the Minotaur and Theseus in real life. Ariadne got to live out her happy ending just like how Perseus did in mythology, which is the main reason why Sally even gave Percy the name Perseus to begin with. Am I delusional to think that Sally would have given a female Percy the name Ariadne? Who the fuck knows. But I'm so attached to the idea that it literally just supersedes any other name I could have come up with

the wlw nicercy au is in the trenches rn. we are fighting with three other different fandom wips as we speak. we'll get back to you when i finally finish writing those wips and finish revising the outline for the au

[glyphotech]

still so crazy to me that percy immediately remembered that he knew nico immediately after saying he only remembered annabeth. like wtf was that about …

[oc3anic-ang3l]

Nico: i’m not THAT short

Percy: okay but i just saw a big ass bald eagle outside please stay safe 🙏🙏🙏

Thinking about my slowburn lesbian Nicercy au. It's cooking. I already have some of the plot planned out and I'm already in the middle of writing scenes. Due to me literally rewriting canon all the way since before the Lightning Thief, Book 1 is absolutely going to be skipped over because Ari (my name for female Percy and why I named her that is explained in this post) isn't around to be blamed, so I'll probably post my rewrite of Book 2 first and then get to the Nicercy in Book 3, which is as far as I got in the planning process so Books 4 & 5, the fun side demigod stories, and any of the books involving Percy in HoO aren't even in the equation yet until I finish those rewrites

I find very funny how in the books, they (Rick) tried so hard to sell Annabeth as the perfect match for Percy, and then they tried really hard to make the couple seen as the goal in relationships matter, AND THEN RICK GOES AND GIVES US NICO DI ANGELO. You know, the 13 year old who took Percy to the Styx so he heightened the chances that he wouldn't DIE, the 13 yo who turn on his father, A GOD, the second Hades tried to hurt Percy, the solid reason why they didn't die in the battle of Manhattan in the first place AND HIS SOLID MOTIVATION WAS THAT HE DIDN'T WANT PERCY TO DIE, all this poor kid wants is for Percy to live, and he goes to extremes to garantee this, even if Percy hate him afterwards, at least he's make sure he'll survive. Nico wasn't even with the Olympians, he was on Percy's side, and Percy just so happen to be on the Olympians side, I'm fully convinced that If Percy have had said "Fuck it" in BotL and just told Nico to just turn around and fight along Kronos with him (cofcof), Nico would had done it, he hadn't even meet Hades yet.

Nico fell first and Percy fell harder

Everyone talking about how they are the most excited to see Grover in a wedding dress (if/when) we get a second season of the Percy Jackson series. And I understand the excitement for all the giddy moments that are to come from that, as the book is adapted episode per episode :,D. BUT BUT !! I myself am actually more excited to see that one emotional conversation that Percy has with Tyson at the very end of The Sea of Monsters :,). That conversation is so precious to me, and I hope it makes it Final Cut of the series. I want the scene to be brought to life beautifully and accurately.

I want to see Percy go and apologize to Tyson for feeling ashamed and annoyed of having him as a half cyclops brother at the beginning of the book; only for Tyson to tell him that he had asked Poseidon for him.

“You asked Poseidon for… me?”

"For a friend, young cyclopes grow up alone on the streets, learns to make things out of scraps. Learn to survive … Makes us appreciate blessings, not be greedy and mean and fat like Polyphemus …. I prayed to Daddy for help. Soon the people at Meriwether found me. Mey you. Biggest blessing ever. Sorry I said Poseidon was mean. He sent me a brother. ”

Oh, I desperately need this Hades-Percy-dynamic in regards to Nico/Percy though.

This Hades? Who saved Sally Jackson, instead of danging her as a bargaining chip right away?

This Hades? Who offered Percy sanctuary and protection, instead of antagonizing him?

And this Percy? Who accepts the quest to retrieve Hades' helmet for him?

This opens the door to such a positive spin on their dynamic - and now imagine Hades' reaction when he learns that his son is hopelessly, obsessively in love with Percy Jackson?

I need Lord Hades, number one Nico/Percy shipper, captain of the ship, in my life right now.

[lemondrop-orangetop]

Percy to Grover: Nico is such a bratty asshole, he's so annoying, he lies, he betrayed me to Hades, he left me clueless at Camp Jupiter

Literally anyone else: Yeah honestly fuck Nico

Percy: Fuck you. Nico has never done anything wrong to anyone ever. And I will fuck you up if you say otherwise.

nico went all the way to california to escape percy and it did not work

[bright-eyes-strawberry-lies]

Changed my mind btw, they needed Annabeth in that fight scene because if she wasn't there, Luke would have kidnapped Percy. That was his boy and Luke wasn't gonna go anywhere without him.
