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
alright whose idea was it that the blue lion was the “friendliest and most accepting” of the lions? if that a canon thing or a fanon thing? because when allura is getting ready to explain the qualities of the blue pilot lance interrupts her and we don’t get to hear it. so? where is it said that blue is accepting? what if she’s not? what if she is actually the choosiest of the lions? sure red didn’t take keith as her pilot till she deemed him worthy but are you really gonna tell me that the blue lion sat on earth for 10,000 years, while the galra swarmed the known universe, with millions upon billions of humans at her disposal to choose from and she SETTLED for lance??? no no no i don’t think so.
AHHH THE LAST IMAGE CRACKED ME UP SO MUCH THIS IS AWESOME!
The whole purpose of this comic is to just show you that they’re one big, happy family together. I think Tony arranged adoption papers, that sounds like something he’d do, don’t you think?
