this can seem like a stretch if you want it to I dont really care but I feel like the need to place annabeth at the center focus of everything isnt really bc shes a main character but bc shes an angry white girl and ppl feel like that is the best shit ever currently and that's where you get things like annabeth is the strongest demigod or annabeth was actually completely okay for thinking shes oppressed for being blonde

#need this on my blog stat #leo was much better engineer representation than annabeth imo #but a lot of his cool inventions and (dare i say it) explicit references to his adhd #got walked over by r*cks casual racism and latin lover stereotypes #and ofc hes often played as the dumb one socially which i HATE #anyways fuck rick #rr crit #fandom crit #discourse /

PJO AU where everything's the same but percy's a regular sized thirteen year old and blackjack is the size of a very large percheron, so percy has to tell blackjack to sit down so he can get on blackjack's back, but 60% of the time he falls off when blackjack stands

my favorite part of blogging about percy jackson is that every day i learn something about the heroes of olympus series that i should have definitely known from reading the books but instead repressed so deep down into my psychic that it has ceased to exist

The sketchbook.

Hazel has gotten used to throwing away little scrap bits of paper bearing any marks of her boredom during senate meetings, but she’s beginning to regret it now, as she’s bundling old meeting notes into a recycling bag. They never contained anything vital to the meetings, just stickmen blowing rude speech bubbles, games of hangman and tic-tac-toe, Jason’s chicken scratch scrawl asking did she want to get donuts after the meeting? She can’t remember if she’d said yes, or if she’d smiled, or if she’d told him she had drills to run.

She hopes she’d said yes. She hopes she’d scribbled yes, I would love to get donuts with you, so he had known for sure that there was nothing else she’d rather have done that day. If she’d known what was coming, she’d have asked him, after every meeting, and stretched out what should have been a longer friendship. What should have been more time with her first friend in Camp Jupiter. What should have been more time with someone she saw as a—

As a—

She’s getting distracted, and her eyes are starting to prickle. With a shuddering sigh, Hazel goes back to gutting Jason’s old desk. Purging it of all traces of it’s former occupant, though she’s fighting the urge to have it towed towards his funeral pyre. Whoever sat at it next wouldn’t be quite so deserving, not of the title, not of the office, not of the desk so covered with the imprint of his late night work and coffee spills, she begins to wonder if they couldn’t conjure Jason’s soul from out of the grainy wood itself.

But, she reminds herself, it’s just a desk. No more a part of Jason than the office, the chair, the pages and pages of work scattered around. As she plucks the sheets from the drawers, her fingers brush the soft leather spine of an old sketchbook. She gasps quietly, fingers jarring with uncertainty — as if she’d found a diary, some private relic that Jason would have forbidden her to touch if he’d been there.

He is not there, and Hazel pulls the book from it’s hidden corner of the desk drawer, glancing around to make sure she is completely alone.

it's a little funny how quickly everyone is switching urls to distance away from pjo. both brown and white people. but it's not like this is the only racist fandom. no matter where you go, there's almost always going to be authors who fail to properly represent, and fans of color who feel unsafe and unheard. i'm all for the changes, but don't forget what happened and what will inevitably happen again

#this ^^ #leaving the fandom is valid given how bad it's been lately #but (esp important for white fans to remember) the racism doesnt get left behind in the pjo fandom #learning to be critical of media (while still enjoying it) is an important takeaway

princess of the underworld!!!

image description: a purple-hued digital illustration of Hazel Levesque. She is a teenage Black girl with dark brown skin, brown eyes and her hair in black and purple bantu knots. She is wearing four necklaces, a spiked choker and a studded vest decorated with purple badges over a dark purple t-shirt. She is looking off to the left with a slightly unimpressed expression and her hand pointed towards her face in the "rock on" gesture. A lavender outline of a crown resides over a dark purple background.

thinking of the brotherhood we could have had w young king charles beckendorf & leo because charlie was the most empathetic, kind, and welcoming person at camp like he made sure that percy, tyson, and other campers felt safe & protected and i’m imagining him seeing leo and going into big brother mode and just being genuine family for leo! like him understanding the extensive trauma that leo went through in his life & charlie just being there and being a big brother who loves & cares for leo and doesn’t care if people find him annoying or weird bc that’s his baby bro! imagine how DIFFERENT leo would be! leo talking to charlie about his possible crush on the son of jupiter, having midnight conversations about life & any problems they both have and ranting to each other, charlie teaching leo how to fight and the meaning of family and leo helping charlie make stuff in the workshop and him being the dorky lil bro who playfully teases charlie about silena and just !!!!! i really wish we saw them together i think the ideals of found family would have been so meaningful and genuine w charlie! and ofc including the rest of the kids like charlie taking one look at hazel and being like My Sweet Baby Sister Who I Love And Cherish and hazel just being like 😌☺️ and thinking of how silena & piper would have actually been so well together!!!!! silena who doesn’t care about other people’s looks and would just welcome piper in as a sister and love her! frank feeling at home w the apollo kids and still being claimed by the ares kids and clarisse taking one look at him and being like ya know what... you’re pretty cool and those two having talks about how hard it was having ares/mars as a dad but clarisse being a sense of solace bc she makes sure frank knows that they ALWAYS take care of their own and she/her siblings are there for him. and thinking of how jason may be a son of jupiter but the camp doesn’t care bc you can do lightning? SICK we want you on our capture the flag team immediately to beat percy and listen. just let me rewrite hoo okay i have ideas they suck but they’re ideas

People of colour and jewish people and disabled people in this fandom really have been talking about Hazel's fetishistic festures and Piper's racist caricature and Frank's personality and fatphobia and Rick's general antisemetism and the casual ableism and the uncomfortable age gaps in his relationships and the islamaphobia for a very long time. For years. The fact that some of you think this is "out of nowhere" is astounding to me and really shows that either you only followed white bloggers or you willfully unfollowed any single person that posted something that made you a little uncomfortable

As a young black person Rick’s writing of Hazel fucking h u r t s bc it absolutely reeks of racism and if I have to see one more person talk about how Rick’s rep was amazing I’m gonna scream.

He completely relied on stereotypes throughout his entire writing of her and the fact that no one noticed is baffling. Sounds about white

1. She’s is literally the ONLY black character in the PJO universe who isn’t dead (she was dead but :/) or a monster. And I could write this off as pure coincidence but then we see that Hazel dead for DECADES and it feels so painfully deliberate.

2. Her mother is literally does voodoo and while this does have basis with the black community but it was used to demonize her and it’s so painfully transparent and considereding the fact that black women were disproportionately accused of witchcraft and demonized for it this is rlly insensitive to these issues.

3. Nico brings her back to life and while this could be considered somewhat of a reach it really reads like a ‘white saviour’ narrative in which the white hero has to save the POC and while it was a sweet idea when you take it to consideration all the stereotypes he’s already written this comes off as pretty iffy.

4. In classic Rick fashion he uses food to describe her,,which is gross on so many levels. She was described as having ‘cinnamon’ hair and ‘skin as dark as a roasted coffee bean’ which greatly fetishizes and dehumanizes her as a character which is inherently racist.

We then get to the point where she’s described as having eyes like 24 karat gold and like I could accept this description she wasn’t the only canonical black character within the PJO universe and if it wasn’t used to further push the narrative that POC aren’t ‘pretty’ or ‘exotic’ enough without whiter lighter features. You add this to the cinnamon and/or caramel hair and it’s a whole mess.

5. She’s paired with a SIXTEEN year old boy as a THIRTEEN year old which is wrong on so many levels when we take in the drastically differing levels of emotional maturity at the time. Black girls are constantly hyper sexualized and to push a romance with an older guy completely ignores the struggles that young black girls face due to this perception of them
