rick riordan and I may not be the closest of friends but the way he dealt with working class people was chefs kiss 🤌 like percy being poor was never something they were battling and it never was that trope that the poor boy suddenly turns rich at the end, it was just something that he was, which is so new for working class people like me. Like in tlt, I remember he commented that it was kind of crazy being in the casino because he's not used to that stuff and even on his birthday they consider ordering takeout and renting a movie a splurge. Little comments like this really made normal that yeah, he did come a background that was not too wealthy and that's okay and he never had some sort of miracle story changing this. It was just part of who he was, and I think weirdly rick tackled how to present his economic class pretty nicely
