I would respect JK Rowling so much more if she just came out and said yeah the Harry Potter books don’t have enough representation, thats a problem and I’ll do better in future rather than being like oh actually Voldemort’s mum’s cat was gay.

Bisexuals aren’t saying it for attention

Pansexuals aren’t secretly bisexuals

Asexuals aren’t prudes or ‘not mature enough to understand’

Demisexuals aren’t ‘picky’

Why can’t people grow up and move the fuck on? These are REAL people. They are VALID.

no one talks about how rick riordan literally scammed disney

grrover

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 just recently turned down an invitation to be recognized by the Texas state legislature because of of their new bathroom bill.

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:

(this was the gay character in the second series)

(and the trans character in a later series)

Let’s not forget that he has an interest in the mythologies of other countries, but instead of writing them himself promotes other writers through his “Rick Riordan Presents” publishing imprint to do so!

I’d like to take a moment to re-examine this scene from a different angle.

I feel like before Phichit, Yuuko was Yuuri’s best friend. They grew up together gushing over Viktor. And now here he is in their childhood rink quite obviously hitting on Yuuri
