In Intricate Detail, Ann Wood Sprouts Myriad Mushroom Sculptures from Paper
”oh so how did you get into writing?-“ no, writing got into me. Actually it infiltrated my brain, starting with the slow takeover of my room with books to the extremely fast claiming of my notes app and now there’s no way to stop it and no way for me to stop.
you know what i think would be fucking hilarious? if percy was fighting a monster and instead of using his sword or some other demigod powers or magic he just straight up clocks it in the face. like he just starts throwing hands. he’s a new yorker. he got kicked out of multiple boarding schools. like fuck all the proper demigod ways of fighting, just BAM! have an unexpected knuckle to the face bitch
Think about it. Sure there is the comedy of him being a Hellenistic pagan but what if he was literally any other kind of pagan.
Chiron: you are a demigod. The old gods abandoned by modern people are real.
Pagan Percy: old? Abandoned?
————————–—–—————————————–—
Chiron: and now we sacrifice some of our food to the gods
Celtic pagan Percy: oh! alight! I sacrifice this to Danu!
Chiron: not like that!
Danu the mother of the Irish gods: something just happened.
————————–—–—————————————–—
Annabeth: we need a god’s blessing to to do this!
Celtic pagan Percy: does it need to be a Greek god?
Annabeth: it was never specified.
Percy: *pulls out a candle and prays to Morrigan*
Morrigan the Celtic goddess of war: *shows up* yeah sure you have my blessing.
Percy: thank you lady Morrigan.

Jason: do you respect any gods?
Celtic pagan Percy: The only one in the Greco-Roman pantheon that I respect is Hestia
Jason: why did you specify Greco-Roman
Percy: I respect the Celtic gods
Jason: the what?!?
Percy: (:
Jason: D:
Can we talk about Percy seeing his mom in the underworld?
Look at how horrified he is.
There isn’t even a sliver of relief at seeing his mom again. The only thing on his face is wide-eyed terror.
Now look at what Sally looked like:
Did anyone else think that it seemed kind of familiar?
Did anyone else think that it kind of looks like she’s frozen in gold?
Percy saw his mom and it instantly reminded him of being encased inside Hephaestus’s trap in Waterland. Paralyzed and awake while he suffocated slowly and painfully. He’s remembering the panic he felt when he thought he was going to die and how much it hurt when he was freed; Even though he was alive, his lungs burned with every inhale and his head spun from lack of oxygen.
Now he’s putting his mom in that position
very good things
