Percy, calm the fuck down  (x)

still remember the moment in college when I realized that like a solid 30% of the pretentiousness that annoyed me in Frankenstein was because of Percy’s revisions.  MARY, I WRONGED YOU.

He also preferred to be known by his full name Percy Bysshe Shelley.

As James Joyce once put it, “I shall write a book some day about the appropriateness of names. Geoffrey Chaucer has a ribald ring, as is proper and correct, and Alexander Pope was inevitably Alexander Pope. Colley Cibber was a silly little man without much elegance, and Shelley was very Percy and very Bysshe.”
