Ramblings of a Nerd

Forbidden kid

Not you sunshine

I like big boys, 

itty bitty boys

Mississippi boys, 

inner city boys

I like the pretty boys with the bow tie

Get your nails did, 

let it blow dry

I like a big beard, 

I like a clean face

I don’t discriminate, 

come and get a taste

From the playboys 

to the gay boys

Go and slay, boys, 

you my fave boys

But in SON, the sisters of Medusa immediately call him “Percy” and maybe you could even assume from the text that Lupa did as well considering this is what Percy refers to himself as, despite having no memory.

And I think it would have been more impactful if Percy had woken, no memory, and Lupa called him Perseus Jackson, and from there on out thats how he referred to himself. In a literary sense, it would have created a distinction between our Percy Jackson, the boy we know from the original series, who hated his full name and went by his nickname, and Perseus, the boy with no memory, and doesn’t know to correct anyone because he doesn’t remember. 

And when he gets his memory back, we flip the page to the next chapter, and the name is now, once more, Percy? I would have rioted.

The romans distrusting the son of Neptune with the name of a greek hero… distrusting the boy with name that means to destroy.

Or imagine, when Percy talks with Nico, and Nico slips and says “Percy………us” and it feels like a jolt in Percy’s spine.
