As excited as I am for the PJO show I am going to ALWAYS beg people to pirate it!! Every single time!! I love the series just as much as anyone but I'm not gonna pay for these piles of shits!! Yes I'm also talking about Rick!! Him being "Neutral" about the Palestine Genocide is absolutely disgusting!! The idea that people don't care that innocent lives, including infants, are dying day by day is honestly concerning for them!

That being said there are many other authors who do support Palestine 100%!!!

. Andrew Joseph White - Author of "Hell Followed With Us" + "The Spirit Bares Its Teeth"

. Xiran Jay Zhao - Author of "Iron Widow"

. Aiden Thomas - Author of "The Sunbearer Trials" + "Cemetery Boys" + "Lost In The Never Woods"

All books are very Queer and POC also so you'll be supporting those communities as well!!

Please please please feel free to add any authors you can think of that support Palestine!! FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸!!!

Let's talk about writing POC characters.

Diversity's important in writing. It reflects the reality of our world, where people of various backgrounds coexist and contribute to society. Including POC (people of colour) characters not only enriches narratives with authentic perspectives but also promotes empathy, understanding, and inclusivity among readers, fostering a more equitable and representative literary landscape.

When writing characters of color (POC), it's essential to approach the task with care, sensitivity, and awareness of the complexities of identity and representation. Here are some key considerations:

Avoid Stereotypes: Steer clear of relying on clichés or stereotypes when portraying POC characters. Instead, focus on creating well-rounded individuals with diverse personalities, motivations, and experiences.

Research: This is so, so important. Take the time to research the cultural background, history, and experiences of the specific racial or ethnic group your character belongs to. This will help you portray them authentically and respectfully.

Avoid Tokenism: POC characters should not be included simply to fulfill a diversity quota or as tokens. Ensure they have depth, agency, and contribute meaningfully to the story.

Consultation: If you're not from the same racial or ethnic background as your character, consider seeking input from individuals who are. Sensitivity readers or consultants can provide valuable insights and help you avoid unintentional biases or inaccuracies.

Complexity: Just like any other character, POC characters should be multidimensional. They can have flaws, strengths, ambitions, and fears that go beyond their racial identity.

Intersectionality: Recognize that POC characters may face intersecting forms of discrimination or privilege based on factors such as gender, sexuality, class, or ability. Explore these intersections in your character development.

Language and Dialogue: Be mindful of the language and dialogue you use for POC characters. Avoid dialects or speech patterns that could come across as caricatures or offensive stereotypes.

Avoid Monoliths: POC communities are incredibly diverse, with individuals from various backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. Avoid portraying them as a monolithic group with uniform characteristics or perspectives.

Cultural Sensitivity: Respect cultural traditions, customs, and practices when depicting POC characters. Avoid appropriating or misrepresenting aspects of their culture.

Authenticity: While it's important to research and be respectful of cultural differences, remember that no single individual can represent an entire race or ethnicity. Your character should feel authentic and true to their unique identity.

Character Agency: Ensure that POC characters have agency and are not merely passive participants in the story. They should drive the plot forward and make meaningful choices that impact the narrative.

Happy writing!

"INKED" by J.J. Jackalope out now!!

Have you guys considered what the world might've be like if sometime a century ago, people started being born with ink embedded into their skin, and powers at their fingertips? No? Well you should start, because I have the new-age queer book for you.

Think X-Men meets coming-of-age meets a bit of Percy Jackson action.

My goal is to give a sense of belong to anyone whose eyes grace my work. I know how important rep is to every minority and I want to do everything I can to give that representation.

Check out my website to learn more and buy!

Here's the book blurb :)

After being in online school for the last four years, Scottlin Vincino starts his Junior year at a new private boarding school an hour from home. It should have been similar to any other in-person school-- but alas, they had everything Scottlin didn’t.

A mark.

He'll have to keep it a secret, but it gets tricky when you have a knack for ending up in the infirmary… Whether it be for the hot boy you just met, or you're swept up in one of the freak accidents at the school that seem to just keep happening.

Scott will have to juggle his sexuality, his grades, and his new friends all while solving the mystery of what is happening to his new academy.

Man, one thing I really loved about Across the Spider-Verse was the way it portrayed its black characters. There were so many black characters who got to be there and just be themselves, having fun.

I always loved Miles Morales as a Black and Puerto Rican guy myself but seeing Spider-Byte, Jessica Drew, and Hobie was so surreal. This is the most represented I’ve ever felt by a piece of media.

I saw a post that basically said how Pansy being perceived as East Asian is problematic, and reinforces racist stereotypes. Personally, I do see her as East Asian descent, specifically South Korean, in the same way I see Harry as half Indian because of James, and Hermione as black...

I don't get what the massive problem is with projecting colour onto characters with little to none description on skin colour whatsoever. Isn't fleshing them out like this and envisioning them as poc far more inclusive and progressive as opposed to everyone being whiter than a sheet of paper?

But anyway, back to my initial question:

Riordanverse Characters Who Aren't White According to Book Canon

(So we should all stop pretending they are)

Leo Valdez: Mexican-American, intended to be POC

Piper McLean: Native American (Cherokee)

Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano: Puerto Rican, intended to be POC

Frank Zhang: Chinese-Canadian

Alex Fierro: Mexican-American, of Indigenous Ancestry

Sadie Kane: Mixed (half Black, half White)，intended to be white-passing

The list of BIPOC characters is actually longer, but I'm including only the ones who are most likely to be potrayed as white and/or have their identity as POC ignored in fan works, like fanarts and fanfiction.

So, please, everyone, keep them the way they are, because it's important to have diverse characters in YA fiction, so don't take away what they mean.

As a fanfiction writer, there are so many ways you can get informations and potray their culture, appearance and identity in a respectful way. Get educated.

Let POC kids be POC kids.

DC Comics Incorrect Quotes Pt 165

Talia, singing to Damian in Arabic: Those who respect you, respect them back. If they do you wrong, drink their blood.

Steph: Respect the bis, or Red Hood will stab out your eyes.

Jason, with a knife: You wanna be Oedipus, motherfucker?

Tim: If you guys call me a short king one more time, I'm gonna grow more out of spite. You'll have no more fun nicknames and the only short I'll have is my comings.

Tim: And by that I mean not achieving goals, not the physical distance of my, uh...
