Young Justice As Troubled Birds

Pedophilia is bad should not be a radical statement.

so you like the percy jackson series….

me too but also we all know that the representation of the characters of color in the books are pretty……how to say, shit? so for each character, I’ve listed out a bunch of recommendations. there are a couple of characters that have a varied list of recommendations due to how vague rick made his characters. for example, while piper is Cherokee and hazel is Louisiana Creole, there are also recommendations outside of that. POC are not interchangeable btw, rr is just rly vague with descs lmao.

If you have any recommendations that are not included in this list, do not hesitate to reach out! I’m happy to make edits for each character and while, I made this list with my trusted sources, i still make mistakes!! a part 2 can always happen so if u don’t see ur favs…do not worry lol

All my recommendations are a collection of middle grade, young adult, adult sff/fantasy, and adult romance!

Memories

Waking up, Jason was sweaty, shaking, remembering the worst moments of his old life like nightmares, the fight with Krios, the titan, taller than him, holding a golden sword, Jason cutted the Titan’s cheek, the ichor in his gladius, his own blood falling from his face, the romans, all of them fighting, thanks to Reyna’s powers, Krios, too sure of himself, standing without armor, the force of Reyna keeping him wake.

Weeping the tears, Jason sat on his bed and wrote the dream, sobbing under his breath, feeling guilty for forgot their names and faces, the people that raised him, the kids that played with him, all of them were erased by the power of Juno, his patron.

After writing down all of his memories, the sun started to rise, the light of Artemis’ cabin turn off, people went to the pavilion, the nymphs serving breakfast, Jason walked to the Hephaestus cabin, Nissa giving a nod, helping Jake Manson to walk, the boy still injured, using a cane to walk.

“Good morning, Superman” say Leo, stretching his arms, the hair of Leo dropping water, wearing a new orange shirt, his tool belt around his waist.

“Morning”

Leo and Piper always knew when was a bad night, and they always tried to comfort him, but the best idea was from Leo, a dream’s diary.

“You know man, you look bad, like, really bad, the Hypnos cabin would help”

“I have a date with Piper”

“S’ cool, but, can you wait to ask her to be your girlfriend in two days?”

The smile of Leo was devil-ish, his head started to smoke, the water of his hair evaporating.

“Your hair is burning”

Leo shaked his head, the vapour going away.

“Would you do that?”

“Why?”

“All of this people love to bet, so I bet you will ask her out in two days”

“Piper know about this?”

Leo smiled, nodding, getting closer to Jason.

“She gave me the date, we will share the profits”

Please do your research! There is so much misinformation out there and a lot of lies.

Everyone should know the truth so please try to know as much as you can so you can spread awareness and help!

Free Palestine🇵🇸✌️

What so many of you guys fail to realize is that nothing within canon ever states that Sadie is milky pale or blonde, Sadie is explicitly described as having light brown hair.

She is lighter than Carter and Julius to the point where people are visibly surprised to find out that they are related; but she is also known as “the mixed race girl” in school and that is something that makes her stand out. This could obviously be something that she told her classmates, and I think that she did, but it’s highly unlikely that she would be racialized if she didn’t look vaguely like she could be part black.

She can be light enough that people can assume her to be white and still be perceived as a poc by some. Colouring is incredibly persuasive and the combo of light hair and eyes undoubtedly contributes people making baseless assumptions about her heritage.

Rick I am so tired of you

he’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit

angsty bonus:
