In which there is internet engagement ring shopping for fictional characters

[greenconverses]

greenconverses: I hate ugly engagement rings. I am so happy my BFF's fiance picked out a good one. Very classic.
from_elysium: I like rings with not as many diamonds because it has less chance of looking gaudy.
from_elysium: LINKS TO PRETTY ENGAGEMENT RING
greenconverses: okay, now we've got to pick out Percy's engagement ring for Annabeth
from_elysium: oooooo
from_elysium: LET'S DO IT
greenconverses: I'm thinking he'd do a pearl instead of a diamond
from_elysium: ME TOO.
from_elysium: BRAIN TWINS.

from_elysium and greenconverses Google Image pearl engagement rings at the same time.

from_elysium: i personally like darker pearls because they're idk...rarer?
greenconverses: I think he'd go for a gray pearl, but smething a little lighter
greenconverses: HE'D FISH IT OUT OF THE OCEAN HIMSELF DAMMIT
from_elysium: YEAH.
from_elysium: He could get his dad to make ocean people craft something.
from_elysium: I like this. Change the color of the pearl. The swirly silver reminds me of water.
greenconverses: I'm not a big fan of the swirly stuff
from_elysium: let's not ever buy engagement rings for each other, not that we ever would to begin with, lol
greenconverses: OKAY
greenconverses: this page has a shit ton of cute rings on it. the one with the pearl in it is almost at the bottom of the page.



from_elysium: omg, that's fucking gorgeous.
from_elysium: this is the ring
greenconverses: okay, right click save so we can make this shit canon
from_elysium: hahaha
from_elysium: for the record, we went p/a ring shopping together.
from_elysium: we are that cool.

Yeah, we are that cool. Really.

Context: Spurred by discussion on the fugly that is is Bella's engagement ring from Eclipse.

from_elysium: it's okay. our engagement ring is way cooler than the twilight one.
from_elysium: applause. percy has better taste than edward.
greenconverses: dammit, now I have to add that into the post!

That we are, icon twin, that we are.

*laughs so much at the twilight link*

That really is a beautiful pearl ring, tho :D

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

The comments on the Twilight link are gold. I love the one that says it looks like a fly's eyeball because IT'S SO TRUE.

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

lol that comment made me LMAO.

/whispers juxtaposie and I have picked out wedding dresses before. So glad we are not the only ones...

ETA:The idea of Percy pearl diving for a ring is freaking HILARIOUS. I approve SO HARD.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I did the wedding dress thing too. It's so much fun! :D

EDIT: The diving for the pearl would be the epic quest to end epic quests. He'd probably get eaten by a whale or something in the process.

win. <3
[info]greenconverses: HE'D FISH IT OUT OF THE OCEAN HIMSELF DAMMIT

LMAO, omg. i have a fic from like 200 years ago on my computer where i had attempted to make him to that, haha.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Oh awesome! I think that idea of him looking for a pearl or something for Annabeth is just so cute. XD

[ladyeni.livejournal.com]

You two are just awesome XD
The ring is gorgeous, I wouldn't have thought of engagement rings with pearls :) Are you guys planning to write a fic out of this? (insert Shrek's Puss in Boots Pleading Face here XD)

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

At the moment, no fic is planned. from_elysium went shopping for ring for Nico/Rachel though and is making me write fic about that though. ;)

[ladyeni.livejournal.com]

Sounds great, that'll be very fun to read :D
But don't discriminate Percy and Annabeth, write about them too or they'll feel neglected XD

[lambbaby.livejournal.com]

Seriously this is adorable.And I need this HE'D FISH IT OUT OF THE OCEAN HIMSELF DAMMIT to be a fic like yesterday please!

Also don't feel weird about the shopping for fictional characters.I did a Teen Titans birthday fic and went shopping for their gifts. So Much Fun.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I like internet shopping for characters! It's just so dorky (and a good way to procrastinate, lol).

[mediate89.livejournal.com]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Percy getting Annabeth an engagement ring with a pearl in it is too much LOVE. And you just know it's gonna happen.

Is the band of the ring you picked out gold? Because the band being silver would improve it's greatness by like 70%. Extra points if there's an engraving of an owl on the side. Forget that that'd probably be way out of Percy's price range, haha.

<3

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

I think the owl engraving would be a leeeetle too much. The band looks like it's white gold to me, which is what I'd prefer. ;)

[mediate89.livejournal.com]

Lol, but it's Percy! Of course he'd try to go over-the-top with it. I only suggested silver because isn't that one of the colors associated with Athena?

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I think you're right about that.

[chibimarchy.livejournal.com]

Aww, Percy so would get a ring like that! And agreed, Bella's ring is pretty much the gaudiest thing I've ever seen, and not in a good way. :/

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

God, I know. It's not even a good gaudy piece of jewelry. You'd think Edward would cultivate some taste after being alive for 100 years.

[chibimarchy.livejournal.com]

Uh, no-- he's attracted to Bella, isn't he? I think that explains it all.

[spellcoats.livejournal.com]

CANON

[rosegilmore.livejournal.com]

This ring is now cannon. I love it! its so perfect!

[takemeto-utopia.livejournal.com]

Hey, this is me un-lurking to say you're possibly one of my favourite people for this (also from all your amazing fic, which I've been inhaling for the past few weeks, which I will get around to commenting on soon, hopefully :D) lol That pearl ring is beautiful, I kind of think I'd marry anyone who gave that to me lol And wow I so agree about Bella's ring - gaudiest thing in the world. A friend of mine wants to buy some crappy plastic replica for like thirty quid for Argos... Shudder. lol Also, comparing Percy to Edward is just hilarious - our adorable invulnerable sexgod son of Poseiden would pretty much crush the whiney emo pasty vampire into dust any day of the week, I think I'd bet money :P

Hello. I realize that this is comment is very, very late in coming, but there is a fic on FF.net that also features Percy giving Annabeth a pearl engagement ring. How he gets it in the story is pretty heartwarming, and I'm recommending it to you now because I really think you'd like it:
