The Human Names Can Also Be Changed To Be More Accurate To The Culture/ Nationality - Tumblr Posts
The other day my sister and I discussed Hetalia characters if they were in the Riordanverse. They would have to be not-countries.
Japan /Honda Kiku is the son of Hephestaus.
Prussia / Gilbert Beilschmidt is son of Ares or Tyr
England / Arthur Kirkland son of Hecate
Scandinavia trio are descendants of Norse gods. My sister and I immediately forgot who would be the godly parents the day after discussion.
Finland/ Timo likes to introduce himself as Timo Väinämöinen, son of Väinämöinen. Only to get interrupted by his friends, "Stop telling everyone you're named after your dad!!" or somethig idk. but that's not actually his last name (in this universe). Idk if he really is the son of Väinämöinen in this universe. it be more funny if he actually wasn't and that's why his friends get so frustrated.
Riordan doesnt really write demigods of the Egyptians gods, but it would be neat if Egypt/ Muhammad Hassan (insert last name) was a descendant of one of the Egyptian deities. We discussed other characters and their godly parent, but forgot the next day.
Greece/ Herakles. Son of Hera. Hear me out!! He arrives to Camp Half-Blood, and is placed in the Hermes camp due to his "unknown" lineage. He wasn't claimed immediately, but it left bunch campers wondering and thinking. who? why? (some campers wanted to give him a nickname to avoid confusion with the great hero Herakles/ Hercules. This Herakles suggested Karpouzi because watermelons are his favorite fruits. it doesn't spread well, but there are many jokes. "Herakles Karpussy cat" Some believed that he's the son of Zeus. Until Hera arrived in the camp to loudly and publicly claim him. How is this possible? Isn't she married and faithful? isn't she picky about her family? Never is there a demigod of Hera?
"I made him from clay and brought him to life. He is solely my son, not Zeus's. Look at him. He is perfect."
This poor Greek boy will grow up hearing lots of comments from her: "Where is Herakles? the good heracles, not the other one. "My heracles. the good one. "the perfect one. mine. "I made him myself, and got blessings from the other gods and goddesses. he is perfect. he id never wrong,"
Very much the emobodiment of that tiktok meme "f u, my child is completely fine."
he's gonna grow up with trauma
