Sally names Percy for the happy ending she hopes he’ll get. she spends hours researching demigods and their ends. Heracles, poisoned and given immortality as a leash. Bellerophon, revered for his deeds and killed for his hubris. Achilles, feared by all yet slain in battle. none of those would be her boy. She names him Perseus, for his successes and his long life, and she hopes it will help protect him, this name.
Percy is thirteen, recently returned from his first week at Camp, when Sally calls him by his full name. what had caused it, she can't remember. all she can remember is her strict, "Perseus Jackson––" and her son's poorly hidden, full-bodied flinch.
Sally knew––gods, she knew––that he would face hardships. she knew he would have to learn to fight, to protect himself, to kill––but that knowledge hadn't been enough to dim her hope. it was that flinch, that fear that he'd quickly cleared from his eyes at hearing his own name, that started to eat away at her hope like rot.

fotd: the point of identities in the queer community is not to box yourself, but to find something that roughly describes how you feel. it doesn’t have to be all that close to your identity to use it! for example, i say i’m bisexual, when i probably fit more under sexual fluidity - my preference and sexuality tends to change a lot. i still say im bisexual as that feels more right! so don’t feel the need to label yourself as something and then when something about you doesn’t align with that label, don’t freak out. that label just describes common experiences!
asexual pluto ftw - the weirdo next to me
holy fuck.
Several things to consider:
•How would they be ranked? Would it be based on a specific set of morals or based on the parent-child relationship? If two dads raise kids to the same standard, but one is homophobic and the other isn’t, and they teach that to their kids, who is the better dad? What decides the morals?
•There would most probably be a massive drop in domestic abuse/neglect. Dads would want to show off to other dads how good of a dad they were, and if it’s a lower ranking, there would be reason to suspect abuse/neglect.
•If somebody adopts a child, does the mug count that person as the child’s dad? If you didn’t realise you had a child, and you got a mug, would it still show a ranking? Do you have to be active in the child’s life? (For example: a stepdad with no biological children of his own. Would the mug count him as the dad, or the child’s biological father?)
•Would there be contests? Or what? Would there be prizes for being good dads?
•Would anybody find a way to exploit it?
All of the “#1 Dad” mugs in the world change to show the actual ranking of Dads suddenly.
