non native english speaker culture is constantly switching between british and american spelling and writing words however you prefer without caring about consistency and you dont really always know which is which anyway
everyone in that book deserves jail except for alastair carstairs
Friendly reminder that if the Merry Thieves found out about Alastair and Ch*rles, their main concern would be the fact that Alastair dated Matthew’s brother
Not the fact that Ch*rles is five years older than him and that Alastair was underage when they got together
My rendition of how I think select demigods would sign (or write) and why.
Percy: I liked the one Rick had in the official books. It makes sense. He has ADHD and dyslexia. Writing in all capitals would be a little easier to read (in my experience, at least) and so Percy having edgy and capitalised handwriting makes sense.
Annabeth: I feel like she’d have a little cursive. I dunno, she just gives off a more circular and slightly joint kind of writing. And it’s really quick and easy to write. But I feel like her handwriting would be super messy and illegible when she’s designing at night.
Leo: Come on guys, it’s Leo. He’d love a dramatic signature/handwriting. But his handwriting in his blueprints would be a small, neat scrawl. Whereas his equations (so numbers and symbols) are very messy and often a little wrong because his brain is working faster than his hand and so he many miss a number or a decimal point.
Jason: Neat. Ass. Handwriting. I was in a rush when writing this, but I expect Jason’s handwriting to be look like they were by a 4th grader practicing on stencils and tracing sheets. Alternatively, my other headcanon was if Jason have shit handwriting. Like, go write with your opposite hand, and that’s what Jason’s handwriting looks like
Frank: I dunno. This is probably the closest to my natural handwriting. I feel like Frank would be the type to tilt the other way, but then tried to correct it later to be more straight. And I feel like he’s the type to put a line across his 7s and Zs.
Piper: Headcanon that Piper and Tristan signs “McLean” the exact same way and the two have similar handwriting. Piper feels like a open “p” person.
Hazel: Slightly fancier capital letters. But I tried to keep it resembling a Palmer Method Script. You know, those nice looking handwriting. Penmanship was valued back in the 30s, and I feel like Hazel would put in effort to make her handwriting look as ‘normal’ as possible. A little sad, but I think she’d do that so that way there’s a chance that people won’t be able to guess her race/ethnicity from her signature.
Nico: Bitch had a diplomat as a Grandfather, and grew up in 30s Italy. Is he doesn’t have beautiful handwriting I-
Anyways. I feel like Bianca was the one who looked over Nico when he was practicing his penmanship. And so Nico writes his A’s like Bianca.
I wrote these myself, so if anyone wants me to write other character’s signatures/handwriting in the Riordan Verse, feel free to put in an ask and I’ll be very happy to do so.
Have a nice day folks :)
Here’s a compilation of all the signatures I’ve done so far
