Masculine and feminine are over. Its just The Urge now. The desire. The torment.

believe it or not, the concepts “the representation in rick riordan’s books is often incredibly lacking and even problematic at times” and “despite that, he still wrote representation when no one else was doing it and it appears to have been a sincere effort on his part” can both be true. yes, there are major issues with some characters and their writing like nico and samirah. but it seems to have been a genuine effort that just wasn’t researched enough. idk i didn’t explain it well enough but i hope the point got across.

i love the big three kids they all look terrifying as shit. People wondering why Nico looks like he’s about to murder someone while he cleans dishes but really he’s thinking about what kind of prank to play on the Stolls. Percy cleaning his sword while thinking about how he finally beat Annabeth at Mario kart and a poor demigod is terrified why he has such a sinister smile on his face. Hazel thinking about her favorite flowers while she casually bends a bar of gold and everyone wonders what kind of god gave her that strength and how to stay on her good side. They all have resting bitch faces and I am in love w that

the part in SoN where Percy says he’s perfected his wolf stare & he’s scaring all these gangs on the streets…. Makes me wonder what Hazel and Frank were thinking. They’re just walking around w this dude w the freakiest resting bitch face to ever exist. They probably thought there was something Deeply Wrong with Him and they weren’t wrong
