opinions on riordanverse ; my edition

a lot of people have been doing this so i decided why not right. probably gna lose some followers or smth but anyways. pls respect my opinions! if u disagree, thats fine, but please be polite. unless any of my opinions strikes u as morally wrong then pls point it out to me respectfully. thanks!

- i actually liked drew. im so sorry to everyone who hates her but full offence, why. think about it this way ok, first of all drew became hc because silena died. silena was the traitor, the one who betrayed chb, yet after she died campers celebrated her as a hero? and then drew suddenly has to replace her and live up to idk that legacy she left behind,, when all of a sudden this girl named piper swoops in and takes her place. idk abt u but i wld be salty abt that too. not only that, but as an asian, the chances of drew having faced racism/bullying as a child is pretty high (she studies at brooklyn academy). which means that when she finds out shes a demigod, and arrives at chb where most of the campers are white (this is an assumption btw), she’d obviously be scared of being bullied for her skin color right?? so the first thing she wld do before the campers get to bully her is to bully them before they can do so. (sentence structure here is wack i apologize) ofc this might not even have happened, drew could have had a perfect childhood && was a b1tch for no reason, BUT EVEN THEN HER ROLE AS A BULLY WAS PRETTY VITAL BECAUSE THAT FURTHER SHOWED THE CONTRAST BETWEEN HER AND PIPER,, HIGHLIGHTING PIPER AS A HERO//GOOD CHARACTER,, AND THEREFORE MAKING READERS LIKE PIPER MORE. anyway stop hating on drew please. ALSO WHY IS THIS SO LONGA SDFJHG

- jason isnt bland, the fandom just kinda erased his backstory (thanks to @pjohoo-memes for the phrasing lol)

- reynabeth wouldnt have lasted/would have broken up several times. idk i just see them as two extremely powerful characters who have firm opinions and will definitely clash at some point. in a platonic relationship,, i can see them as really good friends but as lovers? idk i just think theyll break up

- PIPABETH

- i dont really like jercy,, i see them as better friends than lovers. also idt jason and percy were that close..?

- the dam and not my type jokes are srsly cringey and were never funny. ik that seems hypocritical since my username literally makes use of the dam joke but honestly i dont actually like the joke. its not funny to me and has never been funny

- the seven were not best friends. they definitely argued,, and honestly probably werent as close as the fandom makes them seem. like ure dumped with 6 other people, out of which u only know a few. my introverted ass would have jumped off the argo 2 quicker than leo valdez could bomb camp jupiter up. also leo was a dick to frank. so what if frank is bigger sized?? thats not a valid reason to tease him

- the fandom needs to stop hating on octavian while worshipping luke. if u hate luke and u say u hate octavian too, then okay. but if u tell me ure a luke stan but u despise octavian?? imma disagree w u. luke was worse than octavian im sorry. first of all, octavian being a dick was kinda justified. hes been after the praetor position for so long, and everyone keeps saying to “wait for jason” when suddenly this dude, whos a son of NEPTUNE (neptune wasnt liked much by romans), and the camp decides to make him praetor?? dude i would be pissed off big time. and then afterwards, he finds out that greek demigods are real and the dude they made praetor is greek. AND THEN GREEK DEMIGODS COME TO CJ AND ONE OF THEM BOMB IT UP?? octavian has been told all his life that greeks are scum and this dude called leo valdez attacks cj. sure it was an accident, but did octavian know that? no. so it was honestly justified that he was such a salty prick im just saying. also some of yall be hating on octavian for cutting a teddy bear open and thats the funniest shit ive ever heard i swear

- luke didnt go to elysium

- travis and connor stoll r way too underrated. the two have been head counselors of the hermes cabin since luke was revealed as a traitor, can u imagine the stress? luke, the person they probably looked up to as a brother, betrayed them. and they didnt even have time to process this when they were thrown the roles of being hcs. that would have been so stressful and i would probably have broken down if i were them. the stoll brothers taking turns to wake up at ungodly hours because a new camper is crying and homesick and terrified, the stoll brothers having to comfort and take care of new campers, having to deal with the amount of people in that cramped space because not enough campers are being claimed fast enough. having to resolve issues between campers in the hermes cabin all the time. the stolls arent just comedic relief, and we need to stop treating them as such

- tratie shldve been canon idc idc

- demigods of the demeter cabin arent talked about enough and i love the fact that meg was demeters kid. like she isnt the child of one of the big three yet shes so powerful.

- we need to hype clarisse up more her character arc was phucking amazing

- rachel is overhated. sis found out greek gods exist and regularly come down to earth to fuck around and went “ok cool”. queen shit behavior methinks

- the floor 19 crew of mcga is srsly underrated. like do u even remember halfborn gunderson, mallory keen, tj, etc??? bc i feel like we only remember samirah, magnus, alex, and sometimes blitz and hearthstone

- sadie (tkc) was kinda annoying at first. i like her more now tho but i rmb not liking her for a phat while

- tkc and mcga need more love

- carter kane and jason grace arent boring. theyre just really sweet boys who are too good for this world and yes yes yes

- hazel and frank (especially frank) need to be hyped up more. i hardly ever see anything about them. also yall seem to forget that frank was literally made praetor and that even hecate admired hazel and was willing to fight beside her because of how powerful she was

- frazels age gap is kinda sketch but i still think theyre really cute

- nico definitely had trauma from going to tartarus on his own

- GROVER IS PERCYS BEST FRIEND

- annabeth isnt smarter than leo but neither is leo smarter than annabeth. ive seen a lot of discussions about who is smarter and heres my hot take on it: neither. theyre equally smart, just in different ways. leos a genius mathematically speaking. he has no issues solving math problems meant for people much, much older than him. annabeth on the otherhand, is great at strategies etc. she can make an army of 1000 more powerful than the enemy, even if theyre outnumbered. so in my opinion, both are equally as smart//u cant compare their intelligence, because their talents lie in two different areas.

- while i do agree rick riordan isnt a god and that hes bound to make mistakes,, AND that hes given us a lot of representation,, if the representation offends the people its sposed to represent, then theres a problem. im talking about piper as a poc and wearing feathers in her hair. im not a poc, so i cant speak for them on whether or not its wrong, because i dont know either. HOWEVER, i have seen multiple posts BY pocs talking about how they didnt really like rick’s representation of piper, and thats an issue. pocs have been and are still oppressed and discriminated against by many. as a white cis man, we cant really blame him for not knowing (tho he could have done a research,, asked some pocs,, idk), but by representing pocs in that manner, hes influencing impressionable kids/teens into thinking “oh pocs wear feathers in their hair all the time” etc, which isnt true. the pjo/hoo series is extremely successful, and kids who read the books will probably start forming inaccurate opinions on pocs. the amount of fan art that depicts piper with feathers in her hair dont help either. “but rick said so in the books, so its canon” yeah well rick isnt a god and he can get some things wrong at times. im not saying we should cancel him, im saying we should start educating ourselves and not spread false info like pocs wearing feathers in their hair all the time. also that snake song shit where she sang Summertime was just- yeah. bc heres the thing you can be racist, and still include minorities, but portray them in a racist way. And even then, ignorance isn't a thing to admire. Getting those facts wrong still has a major impact. It continues to perpetuate racist stereotypes.

“ With the feather thing, I looked it up myself; it takes less than five minutes to figure out that Cherokees don't braid feathers into their hair. I didn't grow up in the country where my parents are from. I have many other first/second generation American friends who have also been through that, with a bit of a disconnect from their culture. But something that most of us have in common is that when we didn't know something, and when our parents weren't that big of a help, we looked it up. We sought out resources online and through other people from our culture to be able to connect more with where we came from. Some of that took a Google search. So I find it hard to believe that Piper, a girl who Rick's trying to portray as someone who is attempting to connect with her culture and is totally against racist stereotypes, wouldn't know that eagle feathers aren't supposed to be braided into your hair casually. She may be disconnected from her culture, but she's also shown to want to connect back to it. Piper wouldn't be casually braiding feathers into her hair while also telling off people for being racist. It makes no sense.” - reddit thread (down below)

for those of yall who wanna know more please please read this, it has a lot of things i wanna add in here : https://www.reddit.com/r/camphalfblood/comments/gy3gl2/piper_mcleans_portrayal_is_innacurate/

as well as https://finding-my-culture.tumblr.com/post/189422373260/maxie-ratties-and-cattie-finding-my-culture

i will be posting screenshots of these in future posts so if ure viewing this on ig and u dont have tumblr,, dont worry

- the fact that most of the strong female characters in the series refuse to be “girly”, and ngl i dont really like that. just because ure girly doesnt mean u cant be strong.

- piper would have been a great way for him to start making the strong characters act girlier, but instead he went with the “I’m not like other girls” trope which is quite obnoxious to hear constantly, and I don’t think it’s necessarily great for younger girls to read that idea growing up. the closest we've ever had to a strong female character who was also into "girly" things was Silena. when I was younger I admired Piper's "I'm not like other girls" thing, but then I got older and realized that the whole mentality of "not like other girls" is super obnoxious, and a little bit toxic

i have a heck load more that i cant rmb rn but yeah feel free to add more

....Again, white racism DOES NOT EXIST- IF I HAVE TO TYPE UP ALL THE STUFF I HAVE LEARNT IN HISTORY CLASS JUST TO Y'ALL WILL SHUT UP ABOUT WHITE RACISM EXISTING, IM GONNA LOSE IT.

And omfg....im gonna lost it again cause I haven't posted about Dove Cameron for a while, and just answer asks about her, but hey, I have posted about Thunderbirds, Star Wars, Ask Memes, Miraculous Ladybug, Fanfiction- stop acting like im posting about this girl 24/7 and actually read before YOU ENTER THE ASK BOX.

Im not bashing her literal happiness or her relationship- im just pointing out shes constantly getting what she wants with the storyline despite it being unfair to other actors and the actual storyline- Im gonna bold this so that you can understand this: I. DONT. GIVE. A. SHIT. ABOUT. HER. SEX. LIFE. SO. STOP. ACTING. LIKE. I. DO.

Incessant means going on without pause....dude, I have a life outside of Dove Cameron, I post other shit- and guess what? Y'all are the reason I fear my own ask box now cause of how y'all keep entering, putting words in my mouth, acting like you know what I do and acting like my Thunderbirds icon isn't a hint at the fact that I could give 0 fucks about Dove at this point.

Oh! Sure, a part-time jobless 16 year old can of course pay for the phone bill contacting a company in America, a 16 year old has the resources to run a petition, a 16 year old has the resources and time to start up a fan club- did you even read my bio? Im literally not wasting my money on a phone call to complain about Dove since I can just waste it on stuff I actually give a dam about- and that includes Disney, not giving them my money after the shit they pulling.

That's the beauty of bitching, dear anon- Im not going up to Dove cause unlike you, I know when to not give a shit about stuff and therefore, wont take it to the party im going to scream in Doves face and instead just bitch about her actions on this hellsite with people who get me- instead of risking being put in jail next for going up to Dove and Disney.

Yes, YES I UNDERSTAND THE FUCKING WORLD- im sorry, but stop acting like im a child who doesn't get anything and your somehow the wise adult- I know the world enough to know its racist, its got wars going on, its homophobic, its transphobic, its always got problems, its always got death everywhere, its filled with fascism, I have to fucking look after my mother now and then when dads not around cause of her mental health problems, I have social services on my moms back cause of concerns from my college, I have to repeat maths and English to get a job at least in the future, I have to be more mature then anyone in my family cause of my cousin and mom, I have to walk around town fearing r*** cause of my fathers ex-mate grooming me when I was little up till last year and planning to r*** me- yes I know how the fucking world works, and I come on the internet to avoid that shit and block out reality.

Not for condescending people like you to come in my askbox and force words in my mouth and act like im a 10 year old then a 16 year old and act like you know my blog without even reading through the posts on it- I know what the world is, I waste money on things I give a dam about and unlike y'all, I don't spend time harassing people in RL or in your case, ask box- about posts that aren't even bashing Dove Camerons happiness and relationship.

And with that being said: Bye-Bye, and stop coming in my ask box for fucks sake cause I cant even look forward to asks now thanks to y'all.

#my post #asks #annomymous #personal #dove cameron #YES THIS IS GOING IN HER TAG CAUSE IM GETTING SICK OF YOU STANS #I was having a fine fucking day too #until this fucking anon at least #now im gonna try and do some fanfiction just to calm down

I have a lot of questions for ya, soo if it gets overwhelming you can skip some! 3, 8, 20, 22, 27, 30, 48, 69, 78, 94, 110, 145, 149 :~)

thank you for sending some anon!! i always love receiving messages

im procrastinating sleep lol so its no problem that its a lot!

3: Do you have a favorite clothing style?

hm im into fashion and i have a lot of styles i like! i think korean street fashion looks very good on most people! its a pretty broad category with a vague definition tho so i feel like thats to be expected.

8: What is your Greek personality type? [Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric, or Melancholic]

surprisingly despite being big into personality tests i dont know this one! i think one of my friends said i seemed like a melancholic one. time to google it and take a test or two tho bcuz i love this shit

ok according to these tests which im 100% sure are accurate and true, my results were......... all over the place! im just gonna go with a mix of mainly melancholic, and choleric

20: Do you like space or the ocean more?

i love both but im gonna have to go with ocean, i really wanna live somewhere near the ocean someday and water is just so pretty in general.

22: Pet peeves?

i have... too many to list, im petty and annoyed very easily tho i know it’s unreasonable most of the time ha ha. i guess right now its people not doing their bare minimum of work or trying to use pity/guilt tripping to manipulate others since it’s most relevant in my life rn because of work and shitty co-workers. also when people are condescending i will rage. quietly, but i will rage

27: Any phobias or fears?

bugs, heights, and not to get too deep but inadvertently ruining my life or being lonely 4ever

30: Favorite movie?

honestly i forget movies really easily uhh... i remember logan was good, and i had a lot of fun watching battle royale with a friend.

colorful is one i always forget but it was a really nice watch

48: A sound you really love?

this isn’t something i think about a lot hm. the violins in toxic maybe?? honestly i like silence a lot and white noise, lakes/oceans, etc

69: What is your star sign?

I’m a taurus! i dont know shit about astrology but i know my full chart always sounds really fake

78: Is swimming or ice skating more fun to you?

I LOVE ICE SKATING ACTUALLY!! its really beautiful and takes so much effort and also. thicc legs haha. im trying to teach myself some basic moves since i cant find any classes not aimed at children ): every time i go i have so much fun and every little thing that finally “clicks” im very happy, im such a beginner (im working on 2 foot spins rn) but honestly i love being on the ice and im always thinking “ :/ wow wish the rink was open rn id rather be skating”

i dont really keep up with professional skaters at all and i probably wouldnt know a lot of their names if anyone mentioned them, but i really like johnny weir

94: Would you rather be able to fly or read minds?

i feel like being able to read minds would be devastating, but id also be able to use it to be more likeable and thats appealing haha! i want to know what im doing wrong! at the same time though anyone would feel like its an incredible invasion of their privacy on the most basic level and i feel like having that power would be a bad idea, despite me knowing this is just a fun question im taking it too seriously haha. flying could be fun but like what if government aircraft shot me?

110: Nosiest question you have ever been asked?

honestly everything this one coworker has asked me, including if i’ve ever tasted cuM I STILL LAUGH ABOUT IT? but also he deeply disgusts me and makes me uncomfortable. i reported him twice and we still work together ha ha

145: How many languages do you speak fluently?

only one and im sad about it! ):

since my school only ever offered a few courses ive taken 1 and a half years of spanish, a year of french plus a decent amount of time on duolingo afterwards, i tried to learn japanese in middle school and i still wouldnt mind learning more, i’ve been interested in finnish since i was 11 but never tried learning until recently and then i discovered theres 0 decent online resources, free or not!

i can’t keep up with one thing consistently over a long period of time though and it makes learning a new one very difficult. there’s so many id like to learn though my motivation comes in small, very infrequent bursts

149: Favorite thing about your personality:

self love machine broke

uhhhhhhhh id like to think im pretty open minded i guess? and self reflecting? both those things i absolutely did not used to be

ive grown a lot over time, and i still have tons of problems and issues with my personality, but ive still grown and id rather have these current problems than be the gross person i used to be

thats all the questions i hope i didn’t miss any!! i always feel like my answers tend to be too long a;osihf;asof

dam i should sleep

BUT once again thank you anon ;o i always appreciate even just ask meme stuff!

#ask meme #asks #anons #Anonymous
