Anti Rick Riordan - Tumblr Posts

PJO Meta (2 of ??)

DISCLAIMER: This post reflects a subjective opinion and should be treated as such. If you don't wish to hear criticism regarding Rick's "diverse representation", please scroll away.

Hot Take: I don't think Nico was good queer representation, and here are my reasons for the same.

Internalized Homophobia

Let me start by saying that his internalized homophobia was well-handled in House of Hades and early Blood of Olympus.

The part of his Pov, where he recounts a tale from Plato about romantic soulmates and wonders where that leaves him, is a moving, poignant, critique of heteronormativity.

Nonetheless, it becomes hard to take his internalized homophobia seriously after it simply sublimates affer meeting Will Solace - He develops an infatuation for the latter and the rest is history.

I am not saying that he should struggle with self-acceptance for the rest of his life. I am simply suggesting that he should receive proper closure for the same. i.e, won't it be much better if he learns that homoromantic attraction is completely normal, natural and healthy? Instead, the narrative never even mentions his struggles with self-acceptance after his meeting with Will, let alone give him proper closure.

His Feelings for Percy

On a similar tangent as the aforementioned argument, Nico having feelings for percy started out as a good thing. It gave Nico's character and actions an extra layer of depth.

However, his love (yes, love) for Percy - simply disappeared to make room for Solangelo (which, with all due respect, is a subpar ship). The OoC confession did not help anything either. Nor did the fact that he got over his years-long love in a moment, somehow.

Coming Out:

I do not think this requires a great deal of explanation. Most readers unanimously agree that it's not okay to drag a severely traumatized teenager through another incredibly traumatizing event, esp. when other alternatives were present.

For eg- he chooses to come out to Hazel because he can't take the weight of his feelings any more. This could have also been an important moment for their relationship.

Lastly, outing your queer character (by forcible outing) in such a way is obviously very problematic.

Ostracization

Nico was clearly set-up to be the outcast all the way from the Son of Neptune to the House of Hades . The "He pushed everyone way" plot point did not make a concrete, tangible appearance until Blood of Olympus.

His ostracization arc is important as it is directly tied to his internalized homophobia and is significant to his presence as queer representation. Yet, by having this poorly retconned to "it was all in your head"(unsurprisingly, for solangelo), Rick did a dis-service Nico as a character and as queer rep. (The pushing everyone away schtick could have worked. Just not the way it was in canon.)

Conclusion

Since so many indispensable aspects of Nico's identity as a gay character are poorly handled, it becomes very hard to lake him seriously as good LGBTQ+ rep.

Miscellaneous PJO Post (4 of ??)

DISCLAIMER: No offense intended to anyone. Will Solace fans if you don’t wish to hear jests against him, please scroll away.

In Blood of Olympus there was a line stating that nico’s tastebuds seem to have phased out. Well, I don’t know about his taste for food, but his romantic taste definitely disappeared. There’s no way one simply goes from being in love with THE brave, heroic Percy Jackson to being infatuated with some yellow, solar-powered, street lamp called wilt shoelace (Will Solace), unless their romantic taste went out the window.

funny how you are one of those people who shame harry potter fans for being a fan of harry potter because of jk rowling being a terf but you are a percy jackson fan when rick riordan is actually a problematic person himself he’s a zionist oh and you streaming disney who funds and support genocide but im not gonna tell you you need to stop liking or watching percy jackson so don’t come at us harry potter fans because of jkr when percy jackson author is a peace of shit also

with the new pjo show im hoping the percy vs harry debate will finally die since it will become increasingly obvious that it actually does not matter who would really win in a fight cuz percy is simply so much cooler anyways

I would like to thank the Percy Jackson fandom for the reason that neurodivergent people are infantilized on a daily basis as well as R*ck R*ordans shitty rewrite on ADHD and Dyslexia and making it like superpowers not actual disorders people suffer from on a daily basis while most of the characters act like neurotypicals.

Oh ok since you obviously wanna suck on R*ordans dick some more let’s look at all the shitty things he wrote about ND ppl and real disorders shall we? @full-timel-lurker

1. Wrote ADHD & Dyslexia as superpowers

ADHD in R*ordans fanfiction:

Actual ADHD:

His writing of Dyslexia:

Actual Dyslexia:

So not only you really wanna talk about “OmG tHe ReP iS sOoOoO gOoOoOoOd!!!!!!!” when this is the rep? You really wanna die on that hill?

2. Sigmatized medication

In the series the teachers (monsters in disguise) force the demigods into taking medication so their “battle reflexes”(this shit sounds like something straight out of fucking Scientology I swear to fucking god) don’t kick in.

How is that harmful you ask?

Many people I know who have ADHD have to have medication cause not only are the symptoms, the actual symptoms you can fucking Google for FREE, is literally hell for them and not only is taking medication already sigmatized by neurotypicals but this kind of beliefs are based in eugenics. Let me repeat that. EUGENICS.

But why should I care you ask?

Well let’s replace ADHD with worse disorders like schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety disorder or bipolar disorder. Now imagine if a series was written about how life saving medication is used by the villains to stop the heroes from using their so called superpowers?

So why is ADHD any different hmm?

Please tell me

3. Tyson and the normalization of the hostility and discrimination of people with Down Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy

Sometime in the series we find out Poseidon fathered a child with a cyclops named Tyson

Now Tyson obviously shows symptoms of disorders like Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. And you know how Annabeth (this bitch better count her fucking days I swear to god) treats him?

Like absolute shit

Not only does she insult him regularly but also puts him down multiple fucking times and what does Percy do about it? Fucking nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing.

And only when Tyson saves her and her friends (cause god knows I wouldn’t do jack shit for those assholes) not only is Annabeth instantly redeemed and gets nothing to be reprimanded. FUCKING NOTHING. And not only does this normalize the behavior of ableism towards people with disorders like Tysons but also imagine other ND kids reading this and thinking “Oh yeah I totes can treat disabled people who are far off worse than me just like hee hee 😝” when no Annabeth should’ve gotten her ass reprimanded in some way

Which is why when people say the Percy Jackson series is good rep for ND ppl I have to point to thsi Reddit post by an actual person with ADHD 👇

Also this isn’t related but not only is R*ordans ass working with Disney who you may not know is currently donating money to Itsnotreal to ethnically cleansed Palestine (aka a literal GENOCIDE) but is also a Zionist himself with his recent blog post:

So really think about where your so called “rEpReSeNtAtIoN” comes from

Any @full-timel-lurker

I would like to thank the Percy Jackson fandom for the reason that neurodivergent people are infantilized on a daily basis as well as R*ck R*ordans shitty rewrite on ADHD and Dyslexia and making it like superpowers not actual disorders people suffer from on a daily basis while most of the characters act like neurotypicals.

“Or stories glorify or emphasis certain things?”

So you agree R*ordan glorifies ableism that makes the eugenics propaganda in Of Mice & Men look progressive and you decided to ignore my points as an autistic person since your ND but also an ableist piece of shit @full-timel-lurker

In all honesty? Go fuck yourself with a metal spiked dildo up your ass with no lube

And another note

I would like to thank the Percy Jackson fandom for the reason that neurodivergent people are infantilized on a daily basis as well as R*ck R*ordans shitty rewrite on ADHD and Dyslexia and making it like superpowers not actual disorders people suffer from on a daily basis while most of the characters act like neurotypicals.

Ok @full-timel-lurker since you claim you don’t know why let me tell you my experiences as an autistic person and maybe you’ll find why I hate this series

Never had my needs accommodated by my shitty ex sperm donor cause in his words “I could handle it”

Was literally emotionally abused by my church(Satanist now) as I showed my autistic traits all the time and the Sunday school teachers hated it

I have to go to bed hungry cause I ran out of my safe food

Literally baby talked due to propaganda about autistic people being childlike

So ask me again how I’m so “up in my arms about” it you fucking bitch.

Also we’re talking about R*ordan write? The same Riordan who Americanized Greek Gods and wrote them as villains despite Hellestic paganism still being around and called those same pagans who he wrote their gods about weirdos? The same R*ordan who wrote Islam characters in the most intentionally Islamophobic way possible to make that makes the religion look bad? The same R*ordan who wrote girls and women in the Madonna/Whore complex and masculinize GOC? The same R*ordan who write POC as stereotypes that if I was told to spot the difference between his writing of POC and the way POC were portrayed in early 20th century cartoons I couldn’t tell what difference there were? The same R*ordan who wrote Hitler, goddamn ADOLF HITLER as Hades SON and WWll as a “family matter between the Greek gods so everything that did happen was all fake” promoting Holocaust denial and the denial of the Nakbas terrorism? The same R*ordan who’s first gay character coming out is that he’s forcefully outed and that genderfluidity is genetic? The same R*ordan who supports ITSNOTREAL’s GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS? That fucking R*ordan?

And If he was trying to make a hero for his son than why didn’t he not publish the story at all hmm? Answer me that

Also you find other peoples mental disorders being written as superpowers where neurotypicals will read and will not understand when they come across a person with the exact same disorders and actually show the symptoms, which you can fucking Google btw, that actually make their life harder as good? The so called “powers” where the actual symptoms are mentioned for a short amount of time and never mentioned again as good? If that’s the case you’re a fucking joke then and should really take a long hard look at what the fuck you think is good media then

And you believe fiction can’t affect reality? Ok answer me this then:

What about proshipping and how the normalization of it for the time being influenced the normalization of pedophilia?

What about Nazi Germany when so much shit was being said about Jewish, Romani, disabled and Queer people that many people started to believe it and the holocaust happened?

What about after 9/11 the US spread Islamophobic lies and weaponized Arabs against the American people that literal people overseas FUCKING DIED due to anti-Arab US propaganda?

What about the AIDS crisis back in the 80s when Ronald Reagan was purposefully making false claims against people affected by AIDS cause he wanted queer people dead?

Wanna answer that?

Also you say this:

“I just don’t understand why you’re so determined to hate on it. It feels like you’re demonised people with adhd and dyslexia saying they couldn’t be heroes? Which feels really insulting.”

Ok first of all let me fix that terrible ass sentence for you sweetie:

“It feels like you’re DEMONIZING people with ADHD and Dyslexia saying they CANT be heroes.(period not question mark period ok?)

First of all I gave you literal evidence and my friend @scionofthehellpriest literally gave you examples on R*ordans ableist writing and why it’s dangerous so maybe you should know who you’re talking too before even saying a fucking word

So as an autistic person I say,

I would like to thank the Percy Jackson fandom for the reason that neurodivergent people are infantilized on a daily basis as well as R*ck R*ordans shitty rewrite on ADHD and Dyslexia and making it like superpowers not actual disorders people suffer from on a daily basis while most of the characters act like neurotypicals.

And I’m fascinated at how you can still play the victim when all you’ve done to me and my friend @scionofthehellpriest who has ADHD is continue to cry you’re white woman tears at the fact that when people try to tell you that’s harmful and show you actual proof you go “nuh uh now let me suck my daddy unwle cowonizer apowogist dick”

And you did say the opposite right fucking here:

“It's fantasy, fiction, after all.”

Meaning you’re playing dumb to the fact that when called out you do nothing but bitch and change your shit multiple times to make me look like the bad guy when I tell you how this can affect people with these disabilities can feel hurt or made fun of but you know you do and piss on other ND people because you’re nothing but a pick me for neurotypicals. And I gave you fucking examples that obviously ignored but hey you know what if you wanna turn a blind eye to it just now you’re helping the worst things ever go down and be an accomplice to it. Since a Zionist apologist like you will never understand why marginalized groups hate people like you

And you ignoring my points of how fiction can affect reality ok what about propaganda movies? Tv shows? Books? That shit affects reality as we’ve seen MULTIPLE FUCKING TIMES and I should’ve known you we’re probably British or some type of European given the fact you’re a colonizer apologist so why don’t you read a history book as it has better shit in there than your favorite appropriated ableist mythology fanfiction written by a Zionist.

Yeah and guess what? Those interpretations can be fucking harmful not only to people who that series misrepresents multiple times over and over again but also shit like your little fanfiction has done more good than harm to people like me so fuck off and no I won’t let it go til I go Ghostface on R*ordans ass so he’ll never write another book so you can choke on my clit while I do that

Also real life ADHD symptoms were never brought up as I showed you when I first replied to you so you’re definitely downplaying our experiences which makes sense as people like YOU make shit harder for your own community as you’re nothing but a pick me for a neurotypical Zionist

Yeah and it’s people like R*CK R*ORDAN a rich straight cis neurotypical white man who literally has the world catered to him and his books are just a reflection of how out of touch he really is with marginalized groups like me someone who’s autistic, bisexual and a she/they

And no I’m allowed to be as fucking angry as I want at R*ordan while you lick the shit off his shoes cause he told you too and of course responding me doesn’t seem like “a healthy way to cope” does it

And you saying you have critical thinking skills while you ignore the marginalized people he’s hurt cause you’re nothing but a pick me for neurotypicals who if they tell you to eat the shit from their shoes you’ll do it no questions asked as you continue to support an author who’s supporting genocide at this moment and ignore the evidence and my experiences cause it’s too much of an inconvenience to YOU

And also as a little fuck you

Oh bitch you’re only mad cause me and my friend are right

You wanna sip your Starbucks and read your appropriation fanfic and still call yourself a good person when in reality you’re nothing but a Zionist dickrider who’ll do anything to make sure you’re right when all you’re doing is just making yourself a pathetic little girl who can’t do anything but cry her white woman tears all cause you get criticism so I’ll say this in the form of a gif on what I wish happens to you soon in horror movie gifs

I would like to thank the Percy Jackson fandom for the reason that neurodivergent people are infantilized on a daily basis as well as R*ck R*ordans shitty rewrite on ADHD and Dyslexia and making it like superpowers not actual disorders people suffer from on a daily basis while most of the characters act like neurotypicals.

Imagine thinking you’re not being tone deaf and then proceed to be tone deaf like wow asshole tell me mooooore! I would loooooove to heeeaaar

Also I’ve seen you use your autism as an excuse you pathetic little bitch like seriously? “Our experiences aren’t universal” my ass I feel like you’re just arguing so your dickrider ass can defend your favorite neurotypical when their are other books that are eons better than Percy Jackson

Now take your Zionist ass and stick your dildo replica of R*ordans dick up your pussy with no lube kay or you can choose this instead:

So…..

Your choice bitch

I think for a character named Persues, not once does he get called Constellation by any of his lovers—canon or fanon-wise.

This is painfully sad because he can literally be called a cosmic name instead of his canon nickname (seaweed brain), which is insulting to his intelligence and self-worth. 😒

And it won't have anything to do with his dad—it's a piece of his mom since she named him.

Especially if you like me, who has Percy HC with a cluster of freckles or sporadic moles. Then he has it on his skin!!!!!!! And he'll die from the praise; cause ya know... Imagine the short-circuit brain and the pretty blush.

Talk about a pop-up instead of a downward spiral.

Man, what a celestial ticket that Rick had and flunked.

there's nothing I hate more in the entire world than the Heros Of Olympus books and anything Rick Riordan has ever written. NOT EVEN MYSELF.
