AND The Show Remains Absolutely Brilliant And Hilarious!!!

For the love of god stop

Do ya ever just think Peaches and Plums

and then cry

The Shukri Abdi case is absolutely mind blowing because you have a case where a little muslim black girl was killed by her classmates, someone witnessed it & came forward, her body had bite marks, the same killers tried to kill her before, yet it’s ruled an “accident” and buried.

Would the killers still be walking free if they had been black muslims? Would they still think she “accidentally drowned herself” if Shukri Abdi had been a little white girl? They can’t bury her story. She’s my little sister, and your little sister.

Nico Di Angelo

He’s a warrior, a child of Hades, Ambassador of Pluto, the Ghost King, one of the most powerful demigods in the camps. He’s known war and darkness. He’s known withering away, surviving on pomegranate seeds. He’s seen Hell, literally. He grew up in a time where his feelings for another boy would be called disgusting. He only had his sister and then he lost her too. He has known Death.

On the other hand, he’s a 15 year old boy with a little sister and an annoying step-mother and a pet dog. He gets flustered around the handsome medic with golden hair and blue eyes. He plays in two-legged races and carries around a ticket dispenser so people can punch a long lost friend in the arm. He gets jealous when his boyfriend looks at someone else and reassures people that they are needed, right here and right now.

Because despite all he’s been through and all he’s done, Nico di Angelo is still just a teenager. A boy. A demigod.

all these people who say gay was never a slur are too young to remember those psas that told you to say stupid instead of gay

please watch this two second clip from santa clarita diet

Rick Riordan is such an underrated author

He is literally an author that give Tumblr diversity in popular books and yet it go mostly ignored. He has featured:

-Interracial couples

-Bisexual characters

-Gay characters

-Gay POC

-Pansexual characters

-Gender fluid characters

-Characters with disabilities (mental and physical)

-Asexual characters

-Children from abusive homes

-Characters with PTSD

-Characters with depression

-Representation of different cultures and religions

-Homeless teens

-Talks about racism 

-Talks about the horrible nature of parents kicking out their non-hetero-normative children

-Talks about abusive parents in general

-Talks about the importance of religion to someone’s beliefs

-Talks about how family is important

-Talks about how you are not your family

-Talks about how you can make your own family from the friends that support you

That is probably not every single one but thost are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Rick Riordan makes these concepts important in his books and honestly makes the more complicated ones easy to understand. I know some may consider his books a bit more childish but it’s important to show young readers the different types of people in the world. It’s important to show them that heroes can come in every type of person. 

So stop sleeping on him
