Pigeon Attempts To Court Falcon

Pigeon attempts to court falcon

gonna need a little more appreciation for the kids in cabins where powers are never mentioned

like c’mon. you’re telling me that hermes kids can RuN fAsT. i want a hermes kids that’s like Gwen from ben 10 and can put up glowing gold force fields

i want dionysus kids that can grow grape vines but can also mess with peoples sanity when they need too

athena is also the goddess of practical reason so athena kids should be really bloody persuasive kinda like charm speak with the aphrodite kids

hephaestus kids that can’t set themselves of fire but are just very heat resistant in general or can weld shit together with their bare hands, or can sharpen a blade edge just by running their fingers along it

hebe campers who can alter how old they appear to certain people

tyche kids who can quite literally determine anything, they can alter peoples chances at winning or losing, living or dying

these kids are the children of Gods and Goddess, no more of this

“the kids of the big three have these amazing strong powers, oh and the Apollo kids can glow, and some of the other main characters can do some cool shit” GIMME EVERYONE BEING ABLE TO DO COOL SHIT. GIMME PURE CHAOS.

My main struggles with the percy jackson fandom, but its an ADHD rant, that ended up being wayyyy longer than i meant it too.

I can't wait for them to do a heroes of olympus show (I hope so), and most of these leo girls are so surprised when he isn't this super hot, conventionally attractive guy, because in the book he isn't supposed to be conventionally attractive. He's supposed to be kinda ugly, that's one of the reasons he's so jealous of Jason.

It's one of the things that frustrates me most about the percy jackson fandom, is some of the erasure that goes on, in lots of characters. I mean so many. Not only Leo, but also Nico, Piper, Hazel, and Frank. People think of these characters in such ways that are so base level.

There are probably many others, that is just off the top of my head. Now there is things that are understandable, like how Hazel is just a cutie pie, but even then, I feel like people erase how truly powerful she is.

Also, minus nico, this happens mostly to the characters that are people of color, and I'm white, so I don't want to speak to much on something I don't understand. But it is something that happens very much, is that people see these characters as what they are on a base level, but not on a deeper level. Whether that is Piper and how she is barely brought up to be Native American anymore, and Rick Riordan hasn't done this, but I feel like this fandom has majorly white washed her. This has also happened with Frank, who, yes, in the book he does say many times "I'm from Canada, I'm not really Chinese" but thay doesn't mean as a fandom we erase that from him entirely.

This also happens with LGBTQ+ characters, I STILL find people writing nico di angelo x FEMALE readers. Which is unexeptable and not okay. That man has been out as gay for 10 YEARS, and people are erasing that as such a huge part of his character. What is wrong with u, there is a whole chapter that made me SOB as a 13 year old, that you people are not going to take away from me. Especially from someone who was outed.

Also, there are so many fanfictions I read where I feel like everyone's ADHD is just gone, like not there at all. What happened to that? That's such a huge part of how people discovered they were demigods. That's coming from someone who struggles from ADHD, also, if you don't know how to write it, do research, Google is free, and easy to use, and there is many good resources for ADHD research.

So, yeah, as a whole for such a wildly inclusive book series, that I love so much, I feel like this fandom needs to work on the erasure of minorities, as a whole.

Ghost: yeah the musicians are NAMELESS ghouls with no backstory AT ALL. they are replaceable and you will not get attached.

Fandom: oh you mean Phantom, Swiss, Cirrus, Rain, Mountain, Cumulus, Aurora, Dew, Aether and Sunshine? our babygirls who were summoned from the pit? the pit that left some of them with childhood trauma? the ghouls that now live in the ministry along with the other ghouls before them who also all have names and jobs? who also all have powers correlating to their element that they also have?

Please stop writing smut for Clarisse!!! She is only 17 stop sexualizing her. It's disgusting that people are writing this kind of stuff about her. SHE IS A MINOR! SHE'S THE AGE OF A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT! THE ACTRESS IS 17! If you are a fan of Percy Jackson express this creatively and appropriately but DO YOUR RESEARCH NEVER SEXUALIZE A TEENAGER!

Made a Hades 2 version of Hyacinthus cuz Apollo seems lonely
