(before I get hate; I don't think she looks child like, she is a fictional petite and skinny woman with small chest...)

Tbh I am really scared to post this. But I just want to share my own opinions about it.

I think more of a "problem" is, that her head is drawn very big 🤔 and these chibi like proportions murata used more that in the beginning. That cover page is the most extreme example, as much as I remember:

so, kotlc is not my main fandom or anything, but i recently heard one of the girls in my friendgroup say that unraveled completely ruined the series for her because of the minor lgbtq representation, which made me really question why people are getting overly upset over two small mentions of something that is not harmful to anyone at all.

i also saw a post claiming that "there is no reason to bring controversial subjects into a middle grade book". but why has it to be so controversial? i think that almost every middle schooler has heard about lgbtq before, and that a small mention of two homosexual couples in a book is nothing big.

i also saw riordanverse fans bashing shannon messenger for putting lgbtq+ stuff into her middle grade book. like, not trying to be mean, but—in my opinion—this is extremely ironic.

💰 5 MILLIARDS DE PLUS POUR L’UKRAINE : LE CANADA PAYE LA FACTURE 🇨🇦

📢 Ottawa annonce une nouvelle aide de 5 milliards $ à l’Ukraine, financée par les contribuables canadiens. Cela représente environ 132 $ par habitant, enfants inclus. Cette décision survient à quelques jours du départ officiel de Justin Trudeau de son poste.

⚔️ Un soutien controversé : Certains voient en cette aide un geste nécessaire pour la défense de l’Ukraine contre la Russie 🇷🇺, tandis que d’autres dénoncent un engagement militaire coûteux et une priorité mal placée en pleine crise économique.

🎭 Politiciens, médias et artistes en rang serré : Les élites continuent de soutenir l’effort de guerre, malgré des voix appelant à la diplomatie. Une posture qui rappelle la célèbre dystopie de George Orwell : « La guerre, c’est la paix. »

💰 ANOTHER $5 BILLION FOR UKRAINE: CANADIANS FOOT THE BILL 🇨🇦

📢 Ottawa has announced an additional $5 billion in aid to Ukraine, funded by Canadian taxpayers. This amounts to approximately $132 per person, including children. The decision comes just days before Justin Trudeau's official departure from office.

⚔️ A controversial commitment: Some see this aid as a necessary step in supporting Ukraine against Russia 🇷🇺, while others criticize it as an expensive military engagement at a time of economic hardship.

🎭 Politicians, media, and artists stand united: The establishment continues to back the war effort, despite calls for diplomacy. A stance eerily reminiscent of George Orwell’s dystopia: “War is peace.”

Contro/Verse (2021)

La compagnie de bus FlixBus a annoncé le retour de la ligne 666 reliant Cracovie à la station balnéaire de Hel, sur la côte polonaise de la Baltique. Ce numéro de ligne, associé au « nombre de la bête » dans la tradition chrétienne, avait suscité une vive polémique en 2023, conduisant l’ancien opérateur PKS Gdynia à le modifier en 669. FlixBus, en reprenant la desserte, assume le caractère…
