no one talks about how rick riordan literally scammed disney
dead ass pjo was that seemingly “normal” kids fantasy series with a seemingly white straight kid saving the world and it’s a fucking success. percy jackson? iconic! ppl fucking love percy and his character and then hoo comes out? everyone is pumped bc everyone is in love with that world. the first book? two main bad ass poc characters. the second book? two more bad ass poc characters! the fourth book and there’s literally a gay character and it’s not like disney could say no. hoo ends and then there’s magnus chase and ppl are fucking pumped bc that’s annabeth chase’s cousin and in the first book there’s a muslim girl and by the second book there’s a transgender and genderfluid character. trials of apollo? a main gay couple in a happy relationship and a fucking bi character. could disney say no? no. literal 10 year olds are reading books with heaps of representation all published by disney. rick riordan played the game. you step in thinking ur just gonna get white cishets and you walk out surrounded by different cultures and rainbows.
tldr; rick started out with the basic pasty white and straight series which got hella successful and used his success to pusblish more books and allow only one (1) cishet and only one (1) white
i doubt he planned it but deadass it would be so funny if that’s what happened
I saw him speak on /writing in the UK right before (or early in on when) his series hit it big. Planned. Definitely planned.
Thousand percent planned. Also Percy? Has a learning disability. RR’s son inspired him to write bc he is ADHD and dyslexic. This was all planned. He is all about inclusivity and representation.
He also makes his books incredibly funny, which is rather rare for YA and makes them more accessible to kids who don’t really like to read. In addition to having loads of POV character who have trouble reading themselves.
For those who’ve been living under a YA rock, this is Rick Riordan:

Every time I see that dumb Sherlock charger port post I get unreasonably angry. Im sorry you a little tired fucking up your charger port is not gonna leave Gashes in it the same way an alcoholic with little to no motorskills is gonna jam it determined into the wrong fucking place with all the force in the world (drunk strength) every time they plug their phone in cause they’re always drunk. Like, chill out its not that deep, its not the world greatest fuck up or lazy writing just like think about it for a second
If you knew me 1+ years ago, and we don’t really talk anymore… you do not know me now. I have changed so much since then and you genuinely don’t know who I am anymore. Your perception of me is of someone who no longer exists, just a past version of myself I grew out of.
friendly reminder aphrodite loves you regardless of your gender, your sexuality, your weight or your age. every witch is unique and beautiful/handsome. 💖
You really gotta be a fool to say that John Wick isn’t bi. The man literally walked from Mill Neck(where he lived) to Beaver St(the location of the Continental hotel) right after some bitchfaced twatwaffle burned down his house in the middle of the night, wearing his toasted pajamas. That’s 31 miles of pure spite and calculated pettiness, do you really think a straight man could achieve that drama? That panache? That power? Grow up
