- welcome to beberawr’s blog !

- I go by “bebela” online !! bebela from 🇧🇷 . my DM's & asks are open nd I will try to interact with my mutuals as much as I can. English isn’t my first language (duh), so forgive me and don’t be afraid of correcting me if I end up misspelling anything ….

I’m a himejoshi and I don’t really know what else i can say about myself so this is basically it.

thank you for reading my introduction. ^ __ ^

That quote of RR saying that demigods are "resilient" to things like PTSD, trauma, or depression really sums up how he truly views mental disabilities and illnesses.

ADHD can be made into the quirky LOL thing that only happens when he brings it up, and is actually super beneficial because it somehow gives them superhuman reflexes! But PTSD? No, that's too difficult to turn into some half-assed caricature. And if somehow, somewhere there's any kind of moment that alludes to any kind of depth or exploration of these illnesses, it's never brought up again or taken seriously.

It's always so funny when Rick Riordan fans hate on Leo Valdez for "being misogynistic," as though that was a conscious decision and not Rick's own biases leaking through.

Like yeah Leo is canonically misgoynistic at times, but it's written in such a way that it's clear that it's Rick being racist and misogynistic; so when you hate on the character but not the author, it's very obvious how lacking you are in critical thinking skills.

[beberawr]

Omg thank you for saying this, I’ve been recently stumbling across so many Leo “critique” coming from RR fans. Close and yet so, so far.

Some of these people will hate on Leo for bullying Frank (as if their situation wasn’t delicate, mutual and relatively bound to happen when you take into consideration both character’s upbringing’s + their horrible first impressions that gave both the perfect reasons to subconsciously paint each other as a threat)

Or also for body shaming Frank (when he too made remarks about Leo’s smaller build when it is the outcome of malnourishment and less than ideal general developmental conditions)

Demonizing the systemically oppressed brown character and infantilizing the canonically rebellious Asian character is… certainly a choice.

The PJO fandom is allergic to imperfect victims and obsessed with judging the morality of characters as if they’re real people

Maybe they should look at the author instead idk

[kazperthegh0st]

I love Leo (and Frank! thanks for bringing up my baby boy) with all my heart, but it's so hard when both the fans and the author keep tearing his character to shreds.

What's worse is that when you call these people out, their response is that "pjo is for kids." That doesn't mean it shouldn't have good writing free of harmful rhetoric. Kids deserve high quality inclusive literature.

Thank you for adding onto this with the Frank & Leo drama. I wholeheartedly agree with you on that and it's a good example of petty critiques of characters as though they are people.

[beberawr]

Oh, thank you for speaking on the whole discourse in the first place ! ( ❛ ᴗ ❛)

I feel like people have this need to pose their annoyance towards Leo (& sometimes other characters) as critique for it to be morally justifiable; but biased analysis only banalizes the problem and shows that most of their annoyance is actually targeted at Rick’s prejudice + his monetized incompetence when it comes to depicting minorities & their struggles to the youth.

The bar is so low that his shabby inclusion is STILL getting praise (especially from people outside the communities he poorly attempts to represent)

I’m disgustingly aware that everything I state is my brain-to-mouth filter regurgitating someone else’s word vomit and it’s difficult

[hazellvsq]

if frank became a sheep and they sheared him for his wool what would happen to his human body? would he be bald?

(Abt the albino Jason Grace headcanon‼️⤵️)

I think this is really awesome, especially the black albino Jason Grace portrayals I’ve come across. Putting this aside for a moment, we NEED to acknowledge albinism comes with permanent vision impairment, severe sun sensitivity and many other factors that i feel like people fail to consider when applying this headcanon to fan works. This disability requires lifelong eye care and stringent sun protection to prevent skin cancer, which wouldn’t be constantly available to demigods (and people in general, of course); when we think about Jason’s upbringing, not ONLY at the wolf house, but with his mother and sister, it is something that needs attention and a well done portrayal in fan work. I also don’t think it is a good idea to suggest some sort of magical demigod aid to “solve” these impairments IF they get recognized in fan works: it’s a form of disability erasure, I’ve seen this “trope” be utilized a bunch, not only in PJO fan works. Albinism shouldn’t be treated as this merely esthetic quirk.

Additionally, it’s not my place to say this, as i don’t have albinism, though hearing my albino friend share some of her experiences made me more aware of how this condition is often overlooked and misrepresented. That said, i think the headcanon has a lot of potential within accurate, respectful writing//creative work in general .

(PSA, im not trying to police fanworks or anything. This is a constructive critique.
