Someone has definitely thought of this or spoke of this before but I’m rereading The Lightning Thief (after like 7/8 years) and one of the biggest things they hit on in the first half of the book is how powerful names are.
When Percy first learns about essentially everything regarding being a half-blood, Olympus being real, etc etc…the one thing that Mr. D and Chiron really beat into Percy’s head is that names have real power.
So just being reminded of that made me think back to the series and how huge of a deal it was that Percy not only prayed to his mom instead of any Olympian God but that when he was being told he was Poseidons son by Mr. D he outright corrected him by stating he was Sally Jackson’s son.
Not only was this 12 year old essentially saying fuck you to the Gods, he was using their own power against them in the only way an undetermined (at least until he is) 12 year old could.

Randomly remembered the half-reason i call my oc-verse by the name it has while laying in bed. One-half of the reason i still knew, but I had forgotten what had truly, really cemented it jointly until now
(it was a song from my favourite band I haven't listened to in a while.)
(the song fit so well at the time, still does, that i needed to hold onto it for the main protagonists forever, by partially naming their story in reference.)
Does this explanation make any sense? Does anyone know why I'm tearing up remembering this. Aahh

“he’s too stubborn to die” is so cloyingly affectionate i don’t know what to do with myself. i know snow delivering hope to her whole and alive and settled (passed out and injured as he was) did wonders for his credibility in her eyes.

Finally converted one of my friends into a fan of PJO.
I gave her my lightning thief book to read and she came back with it two days later (i.e. today) smiling and said that she loved the story and she couldn't stop laughing at Percy's sassy narrative/comebacks.
Mission Accomplished.

Did you make this? — to Naruto
from @9thtail
"You bet I did!" The genin cheers, awfully proud of himself. Blue eyes sparkle as he holds out the homemade cake to his mother.
"Only the best cake for the best mom!" Well... a messy cake. The blonde had done his best.

California Dreamin’ by The Mamas And The Papas, Percy Jackson (The Lightning Thief), and food are the only things getting me through today without crying
This is also your friendly daily reminder that getting a cold, even a small one, sucks, and that you should respect your immune system for taking care of you
