Haven't kept up with The Ssum or Mystic Messenger since Cheritz admitted to using AI generated images for The Ssum. Does anyone know if they're still using ai generated images?

something i love about the early percy jackson books is you can tell it was a bedtime story. The chapters have very similar structures, all containing a hook, a lead up and a climax, and knowing it was originally a bedtime story told in separate little adventures adds some adorable backstory as to why.

So I'm making a story that may or may not go anywhere and basically all the characters are aspec. Am I adding too many aspec characters? I feel guilty for some reason about this and I would like some advice.

NO

MAKE THEM ALL ASPEC

ADAPT

OVERCOME

EVOLVE

You write aro-spec characters who are lonely and sad because you're aphobic and think that's how all aro-specs end up. I write aro-spec characters who are sad and lonely because I am an aro-spec who is sad and lonely. We are not the same

Percy at ease

Percy calm, but a little on edge

Percy when mildly angry

Friendly reminder that Percy jackson - our beloved silly adorable seaweed brain - is absolutely terrifying. When he’s angry, when he’s scared, when he’s on edge - he’s not warm and fuzzy.

No other character gets that reaction from people. Jason (the sweetie) is perceived as calm and in control, nico (our favorite self-outcasted outcast) is perceived as solemn and creepy, reyna (girlboss queen slay) is perceived as confident and assertive, and annabeth (our girl) is perceived as fierce, clever, and formidable. They are all intimidating to an extent.

But not like Percy. No. Becasue even when he’s at ease, he’s described as wild and disobedient. And when he’s not at ease, even if just little bit, he’s perceived as powerful, dangerous, and scary. Someone who NOBODY wants to mess with. Nobody even questions his power. One look from him has literal gangs running the other way. One look from him has Leo so scared that he’s literally shaking, and feeling the same innate fright and alarm that he does when jason summons an ear-piercing, earth-shaking, deadly bolt of lighting.

like… HELLO??? can we all just sit on that for a moment?? good lord

One angry look from percy has people thinking one thing: Run.

Percy is, canonically, the character that people find the most frightening and intimidating.

And unless he’s in a good mood - which you better hope he is - the reality is that most of us would be completely terrified of him if we met him.

People will celebrate characters not being aro/ace the same way straight people celebrate a character not being gay and then act like it isn't aro/acephobic

You'd think I wouldn't have to beat a dead horse but... No actually you wouldn't, seems we all very much have to beat a dead horse on the regular

Hope you've had a good aromantic spectrum awareness week, everyone 💚🤍🩶🖤 I'll be there all... the time.

Remember folks the solution to amatonormativity isn't to replace one type of expectation (romantic love) with another, slightly less restrictive but still restrictive expectation (every other form of love) but to erase the expectation altogether and let people be

It is true that (some) aros can still love but not all of them, and aros shouldn't have to make up for their lack of romantic attraction/love by feeling other types of attraction/love stronger. Love should not be a requirement to be treated as people
