This is a Sally Jackson appreciation post
Rick riordan is actually a minor god of writing and his favorite demi god is the son who he wrote a story for, but wait rick riordan got stripped from his godly powers for writing that much about demigods and almost exposing them and also offending the gods in some of his books and now he lives as a mortal with his favorite demigod son and thats why he wrote “the trials of apollo”. Boom. Exposed.
it is wednesday my dudes
I just bought Rick Riordan's newest book, and the page that shows other books he's written is insane
Jesus christ Rick, calm down son
Rick Riordan is so savage like he made it seem like his books were just gonna be like every other kids series out there and then once he’s ensared all these people into reading this world he’s created, he adds a gay couple that actually gets more than just a mention or two, a genderfluid character that is shown to be an utter badass and as capable and human as anyone else, and a Muslim girl who despite literally being involved with the Norse gods, still keeps her faith and religion close to heart. He even made the choice to give Apollo a backstory that envolved love stories with both men and women. He knew that if he included all these things from the start that not as many people would have read it, so he waited until there was an entire world filled with these characters you‘d grown to love, and then added ones that may have detered you from reading the very first book had that character been in it. And yet because you’re already so enthralled in this storyline of mythology, it doesn’t matter that the characters are different. Of course there are going to be those people who drop out, but for those who stay, you’re teaching that representation matters. That even in a world filled with demigods and valkyrie and all sorts of mythological beings, being like those characters that were added is perfectly alright. It’s more normal than Mount Olympus being at the top of the Empire State Building. Imagine what kind of effect that’s going to have on the kids who grow up with Magnus Chase and Trials of Apollo. They’re going to look at characters like Alex or Sam or Nico, and they’re going to think, “I wish I could be just like them.” Rick Riordan is a legend and you cannot argue otherwise.

I know this cracking marble floor I’ve heard this sighing wind I knew this husk when it was vibrant and alive
