Everything Is Gay And Especially Reyna

just let percy be dark you cowards……..no more of this exoticizing ethnically ambiguous nonsense

we’ve had a good run with the vague “poc percy” (lmao) headcanons………….it’s time to take this to the next level……white percy Whom….if he doesn’t have dark skin i don’t know him

like… disclaimer, no shame & no hate to ppl who still enjoy the series. i’m attached to a lot of the characters myself bc i got into this series as a kid and grew up with it!! but idk how many times it needs to be repeated: turning a blind eye to the problematic themes / elements within any media not only enables that shit to continue, but not speaking out on it and not holding the creators to better standards just normalises it. and that has a direct, real life impact on people belonging to already traumatised groups. that’s just. common sense. 

i still can’t believe rick actually flat out fucking said ‘reyna can’t have a girlfriend because she’s liked boys’ and people literally just accepted that and moved on

‘well written’ my ass. nothing that man writes with characters outside of his white het faves is good, researched, respectfully written, or even realistic

Let’s be real he barely even writes those well enough.

the r.iordanverse fandom is sooo crazy like it really took [redacted] dying for y’all to unstan rock riverdam…. when he puts middle schoolers/high schoolers in relationships they aren’t prepared for and settles for shallow representation of poc, the lgbt community, and even people with adhd…. ntm he doesn’t fucking know how to write female characters but by all means…. the line was crossed when milquetoast white boy kicked the bucket
