yknow everybody argues about how to pronounce "Percabeth" with a soft C or hard C but i think the REAL one we should be debating is "Percalypso."

cause, i mean. "Percy" has a soft C but "Calypso" has a hard C. So using either makes sense, but you do have to decide which name gets to keep the C pronunciation in the combined version.

#pjo #percy jackson #riordanverse #calypso pjo #percabeth #percalypso #< it feels dangerous tagging both of those together XD #i know this is only tangentially percabeth related but mostly i just want the people arguing over the pronunciation to see this LOL #my take on it is ratio-of-names-wise Percy should get to keep the C since there's less of his name in the overall combo #and that would prevent it from being only half of Percy's name but all of Calypso's - instead it's both only missing one letter #though i do think pronouncing it with a hard C (so Calypso keeps the C) *sounds* better #so ultimately im neutral. but i wanna see how this plays out
