i think a lot about how early-series, demigods are referred to pretty equally as "demigods," "half-bloods," and "godlings," - the last used particularly by gods at demigods - but after that "godlings" is almost exclusively used to refer to minor gods.

something something i am literally always chewing on the concept of the line between immortals/demigods/monsters/etc being thinner than it appears

#pjo #riordanverse #we should bring this back i want more ambiguity between demigods and immortals #and where they stand between mortals and immortals #ESPECIALLY with the TOA worldbuilding of ''oh yeah inverse of immortals fading - if enough people believe hard enough it becomes true''#and people canonically leveraging that to become immortal through that means #like WHAT that is FASCINATING WORLDBUILDING #and is potentially really cool for how the gods function #but also SO MUCH EXISTENTIAL HORROR POTENTIAL ON THE DEMIGOD END #jason and percy getting idolized so much they literally start to become warped by other people's perceptions of them...#jason being accidentally immortalized because almost everyone who knows him puts him on such a pedestal #AND INVERSE TOO. demigods who are so looked down upon they LITERALLY begin to be warped into monsters #tbh we just generally need more of modern demigods being turned into monsters #like how many myths are there of mortals and heroes being turned into monsters and animals #wheres that for demigods. its gotta happen sometimes. especially since we know other curses are frequent enough #also. how much we're told the greeks interact directly with the olympians (field trips to solstice meetings etc etc)#and how willing the gods seem to be to curse demigods/mortals #heck Mr D is constantly threatening to turn people into dolphins. he's gotta have made good on that at least once
