Piper didn’t lie - she tried. Especially before they got to Camp Jupiter.

To me, it's bizarre just how contradictory I can be. I don't know why I find certain changes to a piece of media acceptable, while I find others awful. I think it all has to do with personal preference and/or mental images of things that you have in your head, but still. Why is it that things like The Penguin being gender swapped to be a woman for that animated batman show on amazon, or Mister Freeze being African-American on Batwheels don't bother me? Why do those not bother me, yet changes to characters like Annabeth on Percy Jackson's live action tv show do bother me? What does that say about me? It's confusing. I don't get it.

Personally, I'm just apt to believe it's all about the strength of my mental image of a character. With characters from superhero media, I'm already really used to fluid interpretations. I tend to hate new characters more than I hate things like experiments in gender swaps and race swaps and background swaps and all that stuff. But with a thing like Percy Jackson, I already had mental images forming as a kid. Those images probably hardened up, because I had no experience with much other media to convince me to be more fluid in my thinking.

For gods sakes, I called Piper's blade Katopis or Katropis for years. It's called Katoptris, and the book makes that clear. But my brain simply refused to register it until last year. Last year! That says it all, doesn't it? The mind just does whatever the hell it wants. And opinions and thoughts don't have to make sense all the time, they just have to feel right to the mind. It's weird, but I think that about sums up everything I can adequately say here.

I don’t know why this just occurred to me, but Percy and Piper are the only members of the seven with named weapons that have some kind of history in ancient Greece.

There probably isn’t any kind of story significance that can be gleaned from that (Although, it did lead to this dumb headcanon that Percy tells her about Magnus Chase’s talking sword and they start pretending their blades can talk to confuse the others), but I thought it was interesting

I love how Katoptris is beautiful in an understated way, just like Piper.
