the part in SoN where Percy says he’s perfected his wolf stare & he’s scaring all these gangs on the streets…. Makes me wonder what Hazel and Frank were thinking. They’re just walking around w this dude w the freakiest resting bitch face to ever exist. They probably thought there was something Deeply Wrong with Him and they weren’t wrong

Can you draw Silena Beauregard?

[ID: a digital drawing of silena beauregard in front of a white background. she’s sitting down, her head resting on her left hand while her right hand rests in front of her. she’s looking at the viewer and smiling. she has brown skin, dark brown eyes, and is wearing a red and gold hijab. she’s also wearing an orange t-shirt over a long-sleeved black shirt. her nails are painted pink, she has red eyeshadow, a gold nose ring, and she is wearing several golden bracelets and rings on her hand. pink hearts are drawn in the background, starting from behind her head and drifting up towards the top of the screen. End ID.]

i am legit curious tho you guys know the scene in sea of monsters where annabeth’s like “my fatal flaw is hubris!” and percy’s like “hummus?” the only way for percy to make that mistake is for annabeth to say hubris completely wrong. so is it annabeth picking up the word wrong or is it rick not knowing how to say hubris. where does the error originate. please answer

im tired of seeing kilometrical posts of ppl having to explain exactly why rick riordan is not the savior of representation in books for the millionth time, like why can't u accept that many ppl of color felt misrepresented by harmful stereotypes? why do u feel the need to bother them time and time again to hand u everything u could possibly need to understand when u continue to refuse to take it into account?

rick riordan fucked up and continues to fuck up by refusing to accept his mistakes and he does not need a pat on the head for doing the bare minimum in the wrong way

think I might use a new system when someone asks me an easy to google question I will respond in another language so they have to use google anyway to translate it

i think as a fandom we need to be more intentional on how we feature poc and native chars in our edits/fanart. some of the following that’s pretty prevalent in not just the pjo fandom but in all fandoms: interchanging, whitewashing, colorist portrayals of canon poc, and lack of researching when drawing and or identifying fancasts. I want to specifically focus on the pjo fandom and in on fancasts because that’s where I am but it should be pretty applicable anywhere. 

Being a content creator myself, we must always hold ourselves accountable on the way we portray content. if we truly care about representation then why do we do so little research on the canon poc but spend hours and hours and hours of research on fanon? rr’s canon is pretty shit and there is no arguing that, but we cannot simply be perpetuating the same cycle that rick has pushed upon us. we need to be better in not only portraying the characters of color visually but in how we talk about them in our headcanons (that’s for another post though lmao). 

for example, if you find yourself lowering the saturation/vibrance of a fancast of color for your aesthetic: question why you care more about your aesthetic? why are you so hellbent on making it “match” when brown and black skin are beautiful just the way they are. is it because pastel/grey scale is just one jump away from white? question yourself on the impact of colorism. why do you prefer lighter skinned fancasts? why do you go against canon to use a lighter skinned fancast?

for example, why are unidentified white people used for edits? why is reyna always a random girl with a braid? why is piper always a random girl with two braids? white people are defaulted 24/7! if you can’t visually show that piper is cherokee and reyna is puerto rican (aka proper fancasts) then what is the point? why is your “aesthetic” showcasing only white people?

for example, when you post an edit that interchanges poc and native ppl: are you implying that all poc snd native ppl are the same? regional/cultural differences do exist and when you ignore them, you are implying that you believe poc are interchangeable, and there is no need to understand the differences. 

for example, if you find yourself perpetrating the same stereotypes that rick riordan used in his descriptions: are you educating yourself? why do you need to use a dreamcatcher or feather in piper’s “moodboard”? why do you feel like hazel needs have “cinnamon” hair and gold eyes? why is frank infantilized and skinny? why is leo’s only characteristic based off of, “mamacita”? you have to think critically in the way you consume content, and yes, that means researching and educating yourself. in turn this will help you with portraying your content better visually and artistically. 

if you’re a content creator and you’re reading this and you feel called out and feel shitty: this is much more than your guilt. we are not exempt from call out, and just because I’m making this post doesn’t mean I am not either. if you feel like you have done this in the past, grow from it, research, and follow people of color!! (if you want a list, lmk)
