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

1) How many works in progress to do you currently have in progress?

I currently have like,,,,, 4 works in progress that i’m willing to continue, that are 3 oneshots (2 bnha and 1 haikyuu) and 1 multichaptered bokuaka fic that is posted right here. theres also 3 fics i completely gave up on, and at least 1 more fic i already have outlined but didnt begin lmao

2) Do you/would you write fan fiction?

i do!!! i really love fanfiction, and i even did a presentation about fanfiction for a class once. the teacher was very impressed klgsdhgldskg he knew nothing abt it

3) Do you prefer paper books or ebooks?

if i can choose, i’ll always try to go for paper books, bc i just really like the sensation of the paper in my hands and the smell of new, untouched books, as much as i like the characteristic old book smell. but if i really wanna read it and i cant get a physical copy, i wont hesitate to get a digital one, even tho i get really distracted in contact w tecnology

4) When did you start writing?

honestly? i dont really remember why i started writing in general. i remember writing original stories since age 8, because i was a very lonely child and spend a lot of my time alone, playing games on our old computer. i wanted to be a comic artist one day and i drew a lot of comics, but at some point i decided to start writing them down bc i’d forget them before getting the oportunity to draw them.

i started really writing fanfiction when i was 12 to 13 years old and i got really into anime to cope with my crippling anxiety and depression. anime gave me life, and i had already came across the concept of fanfiction before that, but never really got interested in reading or searching for it. i knew it existed, but wasnt particularly interested, until i was getting into soul eater and i came across a fic on google. clicked it, read it and i was like “WOW.... PEOPLE CAN GIVE COMPLETE DIFFERENT DESTINIES TO CHARACTERS.... I CAN DO THAT, TOO” 

it also gave me the oportunity to pretend to interact with those characters that i considered my friends, since i had no one irl. so i started writing slice of life, comedy fics with self-insert OC’s. 

5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?

my closest friends, especially @todoyamas, @jangbaekgi, @KwonSheri and @tinycute_turtle (all three from twitter), are usually the ones i ask for help the most, and the ones i trust the most. theyre almost always up to help me and theyve been supporting me almost since the beginning of time. sometimes i wonder how they never got tired of me. @shouyoto and a lot of other good people from our haikyuu!! server help me a lot, as well. 

6) Where is your favourite place to write?

on my computer, at home. cand and will write anywhere else if i’m either very inspired or bored. 

7) Favourite childhood book?

i dont remember most of their names since my actual favorite books were from my school’s library lhlkghsdglks but i remember all the clarice bean books as if they were written by me

8) Writing for fun or writing for publication?

mostly for fun and validation. writing is pretty much the only thing i feel like i’m any good at and the only thing i ever got validated for doing, so.... yes i like validation. and i also like making others happy. but its also because my ideas will haunt me like ghosts until i write them down, so i dont have much of a choice gklsdhgsdlk 

9) Pen and paper or computer?

nowadays i’d rather write on my computer, but when i was younger, i used to write on paper a lot, mostly because i’d get frequently grounded for things i didnt even do and had to entertain myself in some way. will still use pen and paper if, again, i’m feeling inspired or bored enough when im not home. 

10) Have you ever taken any writing classes?

i mean,,,,,,,,,,, not exactly,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but i am a literature major mostly because i wanted to study literature and write better. so, in my head, my major is a fic major. i use all my literary knowledge in fanfiction lkgsdhglsdkgdsl dont tell my teachers shhhhhhh

11) What inspires you to write?

honestly, nowadays what keeps me going, what keeps me writing, is the love and support of my friends and my desire to make them happy. i thrive on people’s reaction, i live to make others happy. i’d probably wouldnt feel all that motivated to write if it was only for myself. i want to cause people emotional reactions, i want them to feel what i’m writing about, like i feel when i read great fics around ao3. knowing something i worked so hard on made someone’s day make my day.

but, in case this isnt what youre asking me, i guess a lot of little things inspire me??? the stories my literature teachers tell us in class, new songs i find around, good fanfiction, good games, ghibli movies, disney movies. and also sushi. sushi fuels my creativity gklshdglkds 

Thanks for tagging me!!! this was fun, and also very,,,, enlightening. i’m tagging @larytello , @smoke-and-bone-bender, @tenyalite, @tenseii and @shouyoto to do this game!!! ilu
