Say hello to my new hyperfixation

“Nico Di Angelo is a token gay! His coming out scene sucked!” babes I’m BEGGING you to remember 2013 gay characters were not allowed in children’s media.

Lemme say that again: In 2013, it was expected that gay characters would be censored in children’s mass media.

Remember Korra? How she and Asami had to settle for ambiguous handholding rather than a kiss? That was fully a year after House of Hades came out. Nickelodeon said No Gays, the Children™ can’t handle that. Too risky. And people said man that stinks, but that’s how these things go in 2014 America.

Gay marriage was literally still illegal in the vast majority of US states. As of October 8th, 2013 (House of Hades release date) Gay Marriage was only a thing in thirteen fucking states. California had only legalized it that year.

Gay people were still very much on the fringes of society. It was an acceptable political position on both sides of the aisle to be against the existence and equal rights of gay people.

Nico was legitimately a landmark character in queer representation. To my knowledge, there wasn’t before an openly gay main character in a bestselling ya/middle grade fantasy fiction series. It simply was not a thing. They didn’t exist. They weren’t allowed to exist.

I remember people crying. Finally. It was a watershed moment. Kids all across the world finally got someone who represented them. It was such a big fucking deal. And it was controversial!!! Not for the reasons it is today, but because people thought gay kids having representation was inappropriate.

Is Nico’s coming out a great scene? No, these days it leaves a lot to be desired. It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination and I’m sure Rick wishes he could change it. But the fact that’s the case is a wonderful reflection of how far we’ve come.

All of your gay heroes in children’s media have Nico Di Angelo to thank. It was important, and good. It deserves to be celebrated, even if we’ve progressed past it since.

hey, so i saw some post about the judo-flip in MoA and how it is abusive. What's your thought on it?

i don't believe the judo-flip was abusive because annabeth isn't abusive. abuse is characterized by a power imbalance of which can take many forms, but is its most noticable as physical. the judo-flip, while physically assertive, does not cultivate a power imbalance in their relationship, and even though annabeth follows it by threatening him to never abandon her again, she does not mean that literally, as percy was abducted and did not leave by choice. furthermore, and most importantly, percy's laughter in this scene demonstrates not only that he doesn't feel threatened or controlled, but understands the judo-flip was an expression of her pain and relief, not of aggression. to claim that annabeth's judo-flip of percy in 'the mark of athena' was an absuive act does not contexualize the situation to its entirety.

I genuinely don’t understand the “anti rr anti pjo” cohort… like if you don’t like it don’t engage??? it’s not healthy to be a hater.

Don’t feel guilty about liking pjo it’s a fuckin great series. It’s only offensive to the most belligerent purity testers. Anyone with a brain can see that it’s a genuinely progressive series whose major theme is representation.

I swear these people would burn down a homeless shelter for not having authentic cultural foods and pat themselves on the back for striking back against culinary imperialism, nevermind the people left out in the cold. Like there are way bigger issues than a well intentioned middle aged white guy not writing a gay teenager to some chronically online blogger’s liking.

There are so many good fans of PJO (like my friends) but the toxic fans took over the fandom

Yeah, bunch of things are wrong and offensive, but these books were also the entire childhood for some kids. For me, I read them while struggling with depression and they became a comfort. That's not to say there aren't flaws, there are several major flaws in the story.

But I see people bashing Solangelo shippers? Like, canon they weren't the best, but for me personally, Nico was the first character I could relate to. Gay, traumatized, religious trauma, familial issues... He could have been written better, especially his coming out, but I actually really like how the good fans have turned him into a better character. They gave characters depth and turned them into actual people instead of minor characters.

So fuck canon but seriously, can we just appreciate the literature we grew up with and stop bashing people who focus more on fanon or personal headcanons?

Like, I literally feel so guilty for being a fan of these series now because we have toxic fans and then the antis who, while they have valid points, forget how much the saga impacted loves positively. Like guys just be decent people and respect others opinions without making them hate themselves

Thalia and Grover hanging out years in the future.... 😁

if you think piper “genuinely attracted to Jason” mclean is a lesbian just because she’s currently dating a woman you’re being biphobic sorry I don’t make the rules

Another cuddling Percy and Annabeth for my anxiety filled brain. I wanted to do them with another scenic piece with a sunset or sunrise.
