Reminder That This Exists

The doodle was by me and the quote was from the lovely @incorrect-waynemanor ✨

Dick, lightly touching Tim with the side of his foot: Timmy, move out of the way please so I don’t trip on you.

Tim, his eyes enormous: You KICK Tim? You kick his body like the football? Oh! Oh! Jail for brother! Jail for brother for One thousand years!!!!

Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister

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 know like everyone is taking about the casting of Annabeth as black, which I'm more than ok with. but ever since she was cast, I know we've all seen the blatant racism, but I've also noticed art of white Annabeth (still a valid interpretation) or white cosplayers are getting flooded with comments along the lines of

"this is EXACTLY how I pictured Annabeth"

"this is MY Annabeth"

"the true Annabeth"

we all know what you are trying to communicate even if you aren't saying it directly. stop it.

and for everyone who is saying "I'd be just as upset is they casted a POC character as white!" I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you would.

but those characters race is important.

for representation.

for their background

it's important that Leo is Mexican because his grandfather went to a school for colored children, where he met Hazel.

it's important that Hazel is black because of the culture shock she gets when she comes to the 2000s in terms of racism.

it's important that Frank is Chinese because it is how he is decended from Neptune.

it's important that Piper is Cherokee because she carries all the lessons and parables she got from her uncle with her throughout her story.

it's not important that Annabeth is white because the only thing important about her appearance is that people underestimate her because of it. you know a demographic that is often disrespected and underestimated for their appearance? black people, especially black women.

Leah Jeffries is not a "diversity hire" and it absolutely disgusting behavior to say she is. she is a twelve year old girl who already has an acting career and worked hard to get where she is.

Leah, i can not wait to see what you'll do with Annabeth.

i think about this on a near-daily basis
