Hi! I'm Sirius. I used to be your follower a while ago, but then I deleted Tumblr and didn't log back in for quite a while. You once went over a scene for me where I wrote about Artemis' worship by the Amazons in my Percy Jackson fanfic.
I know this is a bit random and apropos of nothing, but can I know what your college education is? Like what degree did you get? I finished my final exams of my last year of my degree a couple weeks ago and am considering continuing in academia, and your niche of knowledge has always been fascinating to me. Could you please tell me? If not, its okay of course, it's up to you, but I'd appreciate it a lot if you did.
Thanks!
I remember you!! Hi! Congrats on your degree! (I assume u have it by now cause I'm slow lol).
I have two degrees! One in English (focus on creative writing) and one in Construction Science!
I actually don't study Mythology in college :( Though I've debated going back to do so several times. My Godfather really wants me to lol cause he does academia which is where I've learned a lot behind it.
Hi, I just finished pray to the king and I loved it so much, it was incredibly wholesome and funny. I wanted to ask if the differences in spelling of some of the names of the Gods were intentional? It really fits the vibe but I'm curious about why you decided to change them. <3
I'm glad you liked it! I really enjoyed it haha.
Yes, the spellings were very intentional. See, as I learned about mythology and Ancient Greece and *Greek* I learned the differences in pronunciation and the linguistic drifts over time. Long story short- Ch/C as we see in many spellings these days aren't a sound that really exists in Greek. It's more of a Kh/K sound. In Ancient times, Latin spoke Ch/C that way. We don't anymore, however.
Thus, I changed the spellings to match how it should be said (mostly). I kept a lot the same to make sure the words were recognizable but changed the "biggest" aspects that trip me personally up. I'm dyslexic and the way I was taught to read as a result makes those spellings really mess up how I say the words sooo- Yeah!
there was this chapter where Drew and Percy ate ice cream together in a gay couples ice cream shop. it was like guys name and guys name and then you write in the notes about the menu and I was like oh niche nyc thing only natives know the shop but I just realized… was it Ben and Jerry’s? 😭
It is not! It's a real place called Big Gay Ice Cream! I even have an accurate menu to the year the fic is set in (though I didn't use that one cause I did love the flavors I picked and only got it after writing the chapter).
has “killing a god makes you take up their mantle” ever been done in the pjo fandom? as in Percy accidentally kills Ares on that beach and becomes the god of war at 12? or Percy accidentally killing Hades and becoming the god of the underworld at 16? or Percy finishing off Kronos himself and becoming the god of time at 16? or Percy going too far and killing Achlys and becoming the god of poison at 16?
Percy, age 15, trying desperately to protect Nico from being the child of the prophecy, not knowing that it’s a pointless battle because he became the god of war at twelve and no one ever told him. the prophecy clearly speaks of a half-blood, and Nico is the only mortal one left
Percy only truly realizes what he has become during the Titan’s war because he feels weirdly powerful all of the sudden and he feels so guilty he has a breakdown about it
Okay, this is going to sound very silly coming from me because I haven't read PJO in ages and I don't interact with the fandom on here much at all, but I've had an adjacent thought about this for the longest time.
So! My thought is that Percy is/would have been the god of environmentalism.
'Textual' evidence:
Percy (among others) was present when Pan died and spread out his essence. Part of the message behind Pan's death was that people (humans) have to take stewardship of nature, which is also the idea behind environmentalism.
Many of Percy's side tasks seemed to involve pollution or cleaning up pollution in some way. Admittedly, this could also point towards Grover's general character arc, but there are other incidents that only involve Percy.
Smelly Gabe is essentially described as the human embodiment of pollution.
Cleaning the stables.
The sand dollar side plot stuff.
One of his greatest failures (Bianca) taking place in a junkyard.
Being able to control poison (a form of pollution) in the encounter with Akhlys.
Gaea wanting his blood specifically for her awakening.
Phorcys (I think it was Phorcys but I'm bad with names, sorry if it isn't) wanting to keep Percy specifically in his aquarium.
Plus, environmentalism is a relatively new concept.
There's a scene in tlt where Annabeth mentions a Doberman. I'm now thinking of babybeth hugging her Doberman for emotional support. I'm not okay.
I can totally see neglected babybeth trying to find comfort in that dog and my heart hurts. It's common for neglected kids to seek comfort in other living animals when there is no adult to turn to, I think it's the reason why she's crying when playing with Cerberus, she must miss that dog :(
I don't think she ever mentioned that doberman again?? I dont remember
I know you think of percy as having power over blood, so I want you to consider:
so for background you know when you find say, a really good temperature river and you put your feet in/sit in the water? not doing anything to impede the water or speed it up, just chilling in it?
that's Percy with Annabeth's blood, and he does it a lot. She can feel his power in her blood, but he's just telling it to continue on it's merry way.
yes!!!!!!!! its like being able to embed himself in her skin and be one person together. reminds me of my merthur headcanon of merlin pouring his magic into arthur and feeling himself be surrounded by arthur while arthur feels merlin's magic inside him. <- that sounds sexual. whoops.
anyway i recently wrote a fic kinda touching on that hold on yeah yeah this fic has percy being able to focus on annabeth's blood and feel her wherever she goes. it's not exactly what you're saying but pretty close lol
but anyway YES stamp of approval percy does this all the time 🙂↕️ it also helps soothe his anxiety because he can always feel her near and find comfort in the fact that she's alive and breathing and her heart is beating
Each time I sketched out a new batch of characters, I went, “ooh i should draw x also!” until this became a much larger project than originally intended lmao.
like the betrayal’s always going to be worse if they cared about you and it didn’t matter. someone discards you because they didn’t give a shit, then you can be angry about that, you can feel vindicated in that, you can get over it. but if they can look you in the eyes and say “I love you. I would make the same choice again.” You will never sleep peacefully again, is all.
“I thought they cared about me, but they were lying this whole time.” <- tired. boring. removes all the nuance of this relationship to make it easier to move on from.
“I thought they cared about me, and I was right, and every minute they were there for me, every time they said they were proud, every laugh we shared leaning against each other bruised and breathless, all of it was real. and they still left me behind. They could put their love aside. I couldn’t.” <- insane. will never leave you alone. reminds you that even the worst people are still people and can still care about even the ones they hurt the most and that undoes neither the harm nor the love.
okay. something about the way i worded this is making people think this is a vent thing about real relationships. and it’s fine if that’s where it took you. but i feel like i need to be transparent here: this be blorboposting. karlach cliffgate and her terrible awful no good very bad betrayal.
