and a very friendly reminder that Kane wanted to float Abby at the first chance he got and he can get fucked to hell and back for that :)

so many things in s3 lack sense or are not fully told...and what pisses me off to this day is showing so much grounder and Lxa stuff in comparison to the Arkadia storyline so it can make sense to you. you can see so much is cut off, from Bellamy’s SL, from Jaha and the chip too even though it’s considered to be the second SL in the first half. I think that if they had the chance, they would’ve shown the struggle Bellamy was going through in so much more detail and it would’ve made everything more interesting instead of seeing all the Polis stuff and all the extra details there nobody needed.
People hate on Bellamy so much in s3 but the entire time you can see his struggle and the fact that he disagrees with Pike but follows him in an attempt to make sense of things and follow the right way this time, so that no more people get hurt, that is his goal and you can see the entire time that he’s doubting this but also that he’s been betrayed by everyone else and I’m sorry to say this but this includes C,larke, K,ane and Ab,by. They made poor decisions when it came to camp whilst C,larke thought everything would be alright if she left and he was in charge. And I am not blaming her but I think she gravely diminishes the fact that he went through something super traumatic. Yes, she did too, she made this choice to kill the people in mount weather, she bears the weight but so does he. I honestly can’t decide which is worse. Her saying ‘It’s worth the risk’ in season 2 or her saying ‘I knew I could leave because they had you’ in 3x05 because honestly...like okay but that’s fucked up. I understand her POV and her wanting them to be safe with him and assuring he’d take care of them but also considering Bellamy’s history and the fact that his mom shoved a baby in his arms and told him here, this is yours now and your responsibility...welp C.larke kinda basically does the same. She says well I have to go but you’re here, so they’d be fine.
And he does try his best. He follows K.ane’s rules for three months and what happens next?
The grounders destroy mount weather. They kill Gina. He ends up right where he started, with death in his feet.
That is why he follows Pike and yes it’s wrong but like Kane says ‘He truly believes this is the right thing’ and that is exactly what Kane does back up on the Ark when they kill 300 people to save oxygen and he makes that call and insists on it. He believed in it as much as Bellamy does believe that the grounders won’t change (let’s be real they won’t and they prove it even in s3x06) and that he has to protect his people because Clarke’s gone, Kane and Abby dk what to do and he’s all there by himself.
But he senses Pike is wrong from the start and he questions him and he does see that something is not the way it should be but follows him because at the moment with the circumstances they’re in PIke’s words make more sense than Kane’s or Abby’s or Clarke’s.
And I can talk more about C.larke too and I do not blame her but her actions in s3 are less her than Bellamy’s are compared to season 1. He is right when he says that you’re wrong, this is who’ve I always been. The thing is that he knew what the grounders are capable of from the start, he just let himself trust the others and their diplomacy but they failed, they all did. And yes he goes back to that darker, less caring side of himself but that’s only because he hurts massively after mount weather’s destroyal (twce!!!) and nobody notices. Not C,larke and I not O,ctavia. Don’t forget what Miller told O in 3x06-he says, you should talk to your brother but she refuses. She just says he’s on the wrong side and that’s it. K.ane, Clarke everyone else try to convince him this is wrong but not her. Why? Because she still holds onto that anger that he is the reason their mom’s dead, that he shouldn’t have come to the ground, that he tries to maybe control her (which he can’t and doesn’t attempt at anymore). He loves her unconditionally even then while she still holds onto their old lives and I get that, I probably would be too.
It’s stupid cause writing doesn’t make sense. At one point K,ane is like this is my fault, I forced those elections and I got us here, he also says he understands where B,ellamy is coming from and why he truly believes what hes doing is the right thing but that he’s also the key.
And the next moment he says “He’s the enemy’ and that’s it, which also in parts understandable considering he was caught and trialed and almost murdered but still...I expected more of him when it came to Bellamy even if I love that relationship and write fics about it.
Anyway what I mean to say is that Bellamy’s actions are not a result of individual decisions but rather the collective grave mistakes they all do as leaders (old and new).
That of course does not excuse him of what he does in any way. he made mistakes and he bears the consequences of them for years later. (I wont remind you of s4 an dhis constant beating up)
I’m also very annoyed at the Polis parts and I wish there was so much less of it.

It's not that I hate fanon or that I think fanon is inherently less intelligent or morally wrong, but a LOT of fanon is based in racism, misogyny, and classism that I feel like a lot of you accept without question.
WHY is Duke (Daredevil, son of a god, has never once allowed himself to be defined by anyone's actions but his own) relegated to a background role, only characterized by reacting to the whims of other bats?
Why is Babs - Birds of Prey leader and backbone of the hero society, tells Bruce to fuck off and die 4 times a day and is constantly ruining her relationships by being biased and unhinged - Gotham bound, the mature responsible mom of the group who never argues with Bruce and never gets in trouble?
Why is Dick, both a tactical genius and master manipulator, a himbo only appreciated for his sex appeal? Especially when he is both Romani (group of people demonized and condemned as hypersexual by their nature alone) and an SA victim.
WHY is Damian "feral" and "uncivilized" despite being raised as a literal prince? Half of you treat him like a sociopath with no hope of redemption for an unfunny three second joke and the other half of you go full throttle into Bruce's white savior bullshit so that Damian can be "redeemed". Y'know when you're not villainizing Talia and acting like Dick is his other parent, actually.
WHY is Stephanie - extremely intelligent detective who can't stand Bruce and has a living mother she loves - lumped in as another member of the Batfam, a blonde ditz who only cares about prank wars and emotionally supporting Tim?
WHY is Cass - intelligent, a grown adult, suicidal perfectionist - emotionally intelligent, primarily existing to support the characters around her, immediately accepting of everyone she meets regardless of her own morals?
Why is Bruce the golden standard? Enough so that though everyone in the fandom could agree that he's an emotionally unstable wreck, being considered "the most like him" is seen as a compliment and not the HIGHEST insult? Everyone would agree if I said that Bruce purposely self sabotages his relationship half the time and the other half he simply does things without caring about the emotional impact it will have on people because he has to be the smartest in the room, but if I said that makes him a shit partner and emotionally abusive parent the fandom would bend over backwards to argue with me.
Why is Tim "the best Robin" when Dick Grayson invented the mantle, it is impossible for someone to embody the spirit of Robin better than him because he made it and he created what being Robin means. Maybe Tim is the best in Bruce's eyes, but what Robin means and who has the right to give it over was a significant thing they argued about. Tim the high school drop out, and yet also somehow the smartest? Tim "the most like Bruce" except no he's not, that's Cass. Poor neglected, abused, victimized little Timmy (the rich boy at the elite boarding school with loving albeit busy parents and almost every instance of him being victimized by another character has either been racist bullshit - The Al Ghuls and Rose Wilson- or a complete 180 for the character that made no sense when examined through the lens of prior characterization - Jason for instance.)
Almost every fanon trope that gets passed around like gospel seems to deliberately push POC characters and women into the background and strip them of interesting complex traits and stories, usually for the purpose of fitting them all into bite sized incorrect quote character types and uncomplicated narrative roles that are not only completely divergent from canon, but primarily exist to prop up the two rich white boys.
Also the insistence that Bruce, a 20 year old at the time, should actually be excused for how much he mentally and emotionally fucked Dick up because really they're more like siblings! While deciding that Dick at the same age was actually the perfect candidate to be Damian's new parent/guardian...have you lost the fucking plot you don't even make sense to yourselves.
Okay I lied at the beginning, I do hate fanon. You guys are so uncritical about the media you consume it is BEYOND just letting people enjoy things and have fun. I guess it's one thing if you KNOW this stuff isn't canon and UNDERSTAND why these tropes are problematic and you engage with it as such, it's fine read and write what you want, but just spreading the same nonsense around and parading it around as "better than canon" (version of the character so bland and boring you've somehow made the old white men at DC look like geniuses in the art of representation) is just infuriating.
#I didn't talk about Jason because every other post I make is about how bad fanon has fucked him up#and I would have mentioned Helena but honestly her being pushed out of the family is more a matter of people not reading comics#I wouldn't consider Jason her “replacement” accept in the moral philosophy department#wherein Helena feels an inherent guilt that Jason simply doesn't#and while Helena is firmly an anti hero Jason is willing to kill heroes if it means accomplishing his goals#I do think there's something to be said about his fanon relationship to Bruce and Cass#that directly replaces Helena's actual canon relationships though#If any of you bring up the Catholic Jason headcanon I'll kill you#I made posts about that already she did not trademark Catholicism#dc#canon vs fanon#bruce wayne#dick grayson#damian wayne#stephanie brown#cassandra cain#Barbara Gordon#duke thomas#tim drake#It IS really weird how you guys keep giving Bette Kanes actual canon identity to random people#like damn you couldn't even do a cursory Google search before you gave Wally or Tim or w/e her mantle

Rick Riordan's problematic age gaps
Apparently reddit hates criticism because this got removed from there after a few minutes, maybe I can get it back up...anyways.
The age of consent in Texas is 17, Texas is where Rick lived (according to wikipedia) up until 2013. And yet...here we are.
Where do I even begin with this bullf*ckery? How about the most egregious of all?
Luke and Annabeth
We have two lines confirming their mutual feelings, one from The Demigod Diaries:
"Overtime, Annabeth developed a crush on Luke. As Annabeth got older, Luke developed feelings for her, too."
Mark of Athena (from her conversation with Venus):
"First there was Luke Castellan, her first crush, who had seen her only as a little sister; then he’d turned evil and decided he liked her—right before he died."
Now let me remind you, Annabeth and Luke have a seven year age difference, they knew each other at 7 and 14. By the time he died, Annabeth was just 16, while he was 23. And it's implied he begun returning her feelings a little before he asked her to run away, perhaps when she was 14. He's paralleled with Percy as Annabeth is his string in the river styx. He asks Annabeth explicitly if she loved him romantically (and she denies because Percy is there).
It's disgustingly inappropriate but at the very least they don't end up together...as for when they do...
Sadie Kane and Anubis
When it comes to immortal romance, I usually go for coded age. Anubis is thousands of years old but is mentally and physically 16, which is fine and dandy except for the fact that Sadie is 12. What do you want me to say except Rick is disgusting for promoting this.
Speaking of extreme age gaps:
Calypso and Leo
When you have a philosophy that every character must end up in a relationship, you run out of sensical options to pair up. Now, I'm a Caleo hater mainly because of how it retconned PJO and also because they are very toxic.
Now hold on, doesn't Caleo fall into coded age? Calypso is 15/16 and Leo is 15, so it's A okay! I suppose, if it wasn't for Calypso's past loves.
Odysseus, he had a wife and a son who was 20 years old in his final year on Ogygia, he is well into adult age. She also mentions the privateer Francis Drake and his wife Elizabeth, he was 45 when he married her.
If your defence is that she's actually thousands of years old, then that must also apply to Caleo. You cannot have it both ways.
Hazel and Frank
It's not that bad but it's necessary to mention for the point I will be making.
The timeline is messed up but I think they're 13 and 16 and meet at 12-15. I mean, come on.
Misogyny and Racism
What do these have in common? Well in 3/4 or 4/4, the younger one is female. In 2/4 or 3/4, the younger one is a person of colour.
Remember Nico? His crush on Percy as revealed in HoH? Well in MoA, there's a cheeky little red herring that happens a bit before Annabeth's talk with Venus (where it is revealed that Luke liked Annnabeth back). She wonders if Nico had a crush on her, but denounces him as too young. Now, Nico's age is inconsistent, I am unsure of his gap with Annabeth but I do know his gap with Percy. It's 3 years 5 months in PJO and 2 years 5 months in HoO (the series we are currently in).
So in RR's messed up mind, a white boy having a relationship with someone 2 to less than 4 years his senior is inappropriate. But a black tween girl dating someone 3 years her senior is just fine, a 12 year old biracial black girl dating a 16 year old is daijoubu, a 15 year old mestizo Latino boy dating an elderly woman is relationship goals, or the reverse a 15 year old girl dating middle aged men is a tragic romance and a 12 year old girl having mutual feelings with a 19 year old man is a "love story for the ages"!
The tv adaptation is so infuriating for this, they made Annabeth black, a lot of the changes they made came off as micro aggressions but especially her relationship with Luke. It's reduced to Luke simping for Annabeth behind her back and it's even worse because you can visibly see how large their age gap is. Heck, Charlie Bushnell and Leah Jeffries have a smaller age gap than book Luke and Annabeth.
Adultification is a huge real life issue. Children of colour and especially female children of colour are seen as less innocent than their white counterparts. Rick, who is dedicated to inclusivity should've known better than to include these illegal relationships. Stans will try and make excuses but it's there, deal with it.
As a black teenage girl who has been a fan of Rick's work for 12 years, I am disappointed.

@ Minors in the Pjo fandom:I know bi Percy is popular headcanon for years now and i agree Percy is bi but please don't believe people who try to tell you Percy had a crush on Luke or any of the male gods,they're Percy's abusers and way too old for him so it's negative and age old stereotyping on gay/bi dudes that we'll be attracted to anyone!!Percy may be an adult in the books but a young adult and as another young adult,Percy shouldn't shipped with middle-aged people as it's a predatory dynamic same like it would be if i dated somebody in that age group too,especially because in Percy's case all those guys watched her grow up and were already adults at the time!Please ship Percy with Jason,Leo,Ethan,Carter,Magnus,Alex or some other age appropriate male character instead + consider transfem Percy to add to your hcs list too because we need more transfem rep in fandom since transfem interpretations are often overlooked!(I'll link a post i did on why transfem Percy makes sense in the rbs)

It drives me insane how Dick, Joey and Kory’s relationships with their fathers reflect each other. And they can identify the way that their friend’s father is abusive and horrifying, but are unable to admit it about their own fathers, and as a result none of them can admit to each other how similar their parental issues are, and none of them can convince each other to cut off their fathers. Like the way that their fathers will make them do things that will make them suffer, but present it as if its not the children that are suffering from it but the parents???
Bruce: I know I’m hurting you. My family. I’m making that sacrifice because I don’t give up. I don’t give in.
Bruce, you are not making the sacrifice, you are making Dick make the sacrifice.
Kory: He’s sacrificed the happiness of the royal family to save Tamaran from destruction. He’s never asked for anything for us, and he’s given everything he’s had
Kory, honey, when you got sold to slavery, you are the one who suffered, not him!
Slade: Addie, it was a calculated risk. I didn’t think he’s be hurt. I just couldn’t compromise my professional standing. Adeline: No, you couldn’t, could you?
And when Joey gets hurt because Slade put himself over Joey, he will not even apologize for it. All three of them continue to make excuses for their parents, despite the fact that they recognize how much they hurt them. And while Dick will tell Kory her parents shouldn’t tell her to get married if she doesn’t want to, and Joey will tell Dick that Bruce hitting him is not okay, none of them can confront a truth that would mean giving up on their parents, no matter how much they hurt them
#it was so interesting that they chose these 3 to go to tamaran in that arc#that really dug into korys realtionships with their parents#they all suck at self actulization tho omg#dick grayson#kory anders#starfire#Kory has so many issues with her family lol#nightwing#kory#joey wilson#jericho#slade#deathstroke#batman#anti bruce wayne#adeline#adeline kane

I found a pose and that poll I remembered doing of Percy, Magnus, and Carter plus Annabeth. I wish that Riordan did a book with these three. I love Percy, Magnus, and Carter a ton.
EDIT: This is NOT SHIP ART! I repeat THIS IS NOT SHIP ART!! It's just Percy and Magnus being weirdos.
I’m sorry y’all, I hate Jercy ✋😔 a lot.

It's honestly hard to read the battle of the labyrinth when somehow Rick Riordan made a villian I find completely irredeemable. Luke deserves far worse than he got. Luke isn't even entertainingly evil, like Loki or Set or any number of others later. I honestly think Rick Riordan improved after Percy Jackson, and that the Heroes of Olympus was his peak. Mind you, I can't get past him killing off Jason Grace in the Trials of Apollo. But the Heroes of Olympus will probably always be my favorite of his books (I think because I read it first, but I don't actually remember when I first read it anymore).

Sadie and Walt/Anubis age gap
Ok, so, Sadie is a 13 year old dating a 16 year old merged with a teenage god, right? (Why tf did Rick make Anubis a hot white boy teenager that is so weird and disrespectful to Egyptians and their culture) So, what happens when she's 15 and they're 18, or she's 16 and they're NINETEEN? Do they go out for dates? Because people are going to stare at this supposed romantic couple and maybe even call the police, and even Sadie's friends and family might see something wrong. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN?

If i rewrote the Riordanverse books with more accurate mythology, more diversity, less racism & ableism, less paradoxes, more found family, etc
Note: The only difference between YA and Middle Grade would be that they could say fuck in YA since i don't plan to make it violent
Also Note: Middle grade is what the current books are rated

Now don't get me wrong, I loved The Chalice of the Gods (and spat on The Sun and the Star). TCoTG perfectly captured our Golden Trio and it was just really great. The Sun and the Star though outright disappointed me and made me so FREAKING MAD at the same time (don't get me wrong, I like Solangelo but it could have been so much better), but I'm not gonna go on that now.
What I am gonna say is that to me, Riordanverse canonically ended with Heroes of Olympus. I'm sorry, the later books just don't feel like they belong in the same universe. Magnus Chase is good, Kane Chronicles is amazing, Daughter of the Deep is a masterpiece, but the main CHB timeline ended for me after Blood of Olympus.
