random ramble, but one of the things i really like about rick riordan is the fact that he tries.
do i have a lot of complaints about how he decided to write a bunch of things in the stories? yes, i do. i have A LOT to critize. (especially about the whole thing with piper. and also about how will bisexuality is portrayed in the stories but anyway)
but he tries. like, he truly does. there are so many queer characters in the story, there are canon same-sex couples, we have magnus, who is the main character and it's pansexual, and his love interest is genderfluid.
we have disabled people!! and they are not treated like something to be fixed or pited!!!
we have representation in a way that doesn't fell forced (at least, not for me), it's just. IS. this people are just there. these parts of them are important, yes, but they're not everything they are.
and like. solangelo is the second most loved ship, losing only to the main characters relationship, and they are a same-sex couple. AND THEY ARE FULLY CANON!!!! that's sooo important
so, YES, he should get better in a lot of things, and YES, he deserves the criticism, but you can't deny that he is always always and always trying. with flaws? yes, with a lot of flaws, but he IS doing something, which is GOOD. especially in this economy
and yes the bar is in hell. but anyways
ramble is over, thank you
