Regarding The Amazon Rainforest

Everyone's talking about poc actors playing percy jackson and like yessss amazing should happen totally

But also like

- actors with more diverse body types and features (e.g. Plus size, kids with vitiligo, etc)

Also bc most of the cast are entering puberty or are in puberty, actors with acne

- actors who are gender-noncomforming (mostly like older campers bc im not trans and i cant really speak on what trans experience would even look like pre-puberty or just in general)

-actors with physical disabilities

-actors who actually have learning disabilities (like you know, most of the characters in the books)

-actors with autism

-actors with different religious backgrounds

-actors with different sexualities (i mean sexuality doesnt really factor into acting unless its a huge part of their character but it'd still be cool)

Like this could amazing for actors of all different backgrounds and im hoping rick and the casting directors keep their biases in check. Because green contacts and curly blonde wigs exist so the default doesn't have to be white, cis, able-bodied actors with conventionally acceptable appearances

thinking about “you haven’t met all the people who will love you” and like!!! you also haven’t found all the things that will make you happy!!!! there will always be new authors and musicians and artists whose work you will one day discover and love!!!! there will always be new hobbies and skills for you to learn and feel fulfilled by!!! there will always be new things around the corner that will bring sudden and unexpected happiness!!!!!!!!!!!

what a week huh?

i need help. my landlord is demanding we pay off our rent arrears and then continue to pay our rent in full every month or we could be kicked out. we’ve gotten as much help as the council will give us (which isn’t much because of circumstances). we really can’t be without a home right now - it’s cold and both me and my mother have chronic illness and mental illness. if you want more details, you can dm me. we also need food. every day we only eat something small at night and food supply is running out.

so please help us out! if it helps: we’re ojibwe (but not in america - if you want more details dm me) and severely disabled. i have multiple mental illnesses. neither of us can work. i’m literally begging for help at this point. if you can’t donate, please reblog!

being egyptian and reading the kane chronicles is so wild because it says that the egyptian gods migrate to wherever the center of western civilization is, implying that ancient egypt was a western civilization or that egypt's a was, and not an is. like why is this non-white civilization which manifests today in a real life country supposedly a western civilization but the actual people whose heritage is tied to that civilization are excluded from it? why is a white british woman (a WHITE BRITISH WOMAN!) the living incarnation of isis - the mother of egypt? there's no cultural nuance. there's no consideration. the image of the egyptian mother, through isis or otherwise, is something so fucking important in egyptian culture, and to have it represented by a british woman - a descendant of those who bastardized and stole our heritage- is just insane to me. perhaps an interesting analysis of post colonial egypt in a meta sense, but that's for egyptian artists to dissect, not riordan. and that's only one thing. egypt - the actual egypt from which everything in the series originates) in that series is so mocked. i remember at some point sadie and walt are walking through egypt and mock the fact that since the arabic language has no "p", they pronounce pepsi as bebsi. no respect. the very foundation of this series is based in racism, in colonial thinking, and, ultimately, white supremacy. why is zia, the only actual egyptian in the main cast, so irrelevant? so quiet and without agency? in a meta way, she's like egypt itself. i just wanted to bring this to light since a lot of rr crit focuses on the racism and homophobia present in pjo and hoo and mcga and toa- perfectly valid criticisms that are well deserved - but barely anyone talks about the inherent colonialist and racist foundations of the entirety of the kane chronicles, which is why i wanted to bring it to light. enjoy the series if you want, i'm not saying you're not allowed, but as long as we're criticizing riordan, let's criticize everything.
