i personally will 🏴☠️ the show. i will not give any of my money to disney, which funds israel and genocide. i encourage all of you to do the same.
however, i will not force/impose this on anyone. i only implore all of us to do what we can, in our own ways, to support palestine.
just saw someone say that percy jackson is a "charmless harry potter knockoff" 😭 when percy is literally known for his iconic first person narration. the first paragraph of the lightning thief has more charm than hp's entire seven books. and harry's a cop.
NOTE: rick riordan is having his own imprint where authors will be able to tell their stories of mythology and folklore based on their own heritage. so poc authors get the support they need in publishing stories based on their own race & culture.
this is how u use ur privilege.
all the flashbacks i'm seeing from pjotwt were like two years ago, a year ago WELL NINE YEARS AGO I WAS HERE WHEN WE GOT THE SEA OF MONSTERS MOVIE AND RICK WAS BLOCKING EVERY PJO STAN ACCOUNT ASKING HIM ABOUT THE MOVIES
how old are you when you first read the percy jackson books and how old are you now that the disney+ tv series adaptation finally got its green light??
cast child actors of color for the percy jackson tv series!! this can jumpstart their careers since the books have a massive following. and this will mean so much for the kids of color seeing themselves represented in such a mainstream piece of media.
@txriqismail
are you all forgetting the first sentence of the tweet? who was the first one to blast the other? pjo fans were celebrating today. that particular harry potter stan QRTed the official account of the percy tv series to compare the two. this is not unprovoked lol
someone knocks at your door and its rick riordan officially offering to hire you for a main role in the percy jackson tv show. your last save meme is your reaction.
1 - LIVE ACTION SERIES
2 - ONE BOOK - ONE SEASON
3 - RICK AND BECKY RIORDAN WILL BE INVOLVED IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE SHOW.
PERCY JACKSON IS COMING TO DISNEY+
@rickriordan
PERCY JACKSON IS COMING TO DISNEY+ PERCY JACKSON IS COMING TO DISNEY+ PERCY JACKSON IS COMING TO DISNEY+ PERCY JACKSON IS COMING TO DISNEY+ PERCY JACKSON IS COMING TO DISNEY+ PERCY JACKSON IS COMING TO DISNEY+ PERCY JACKSON IS COMING TO DISNEY+ PERCY JACKSON IS COMING TO DISNEY+
i am now reviving my percy jackson is southeast asian agenda, for the following reasons:
1. South East Asia = SEA = son of the SEA god
2. his name is literally perSEA
3. I am southeast asian
rick riordan has the audacity to say that nico di angelo has been through "so much" from losing his mother, sister, and a friend, to being outed against his will, as if he isn't the very author who inflicted all that suffering to nico
logan lerman was a great percy jackson. his only flaw is that he's older than lightning thief!percy. but that's it, in fact he's my adult percy jackson. LOGAN IS A GREAT PERCY. i said what i said. hate the movie all you want, you can never pry logan as percy in my cold dead hands
REMEMBER WHEN ANNABETH WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF TARTARUS??
AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL HER UP SO SHE TOLD PERCY THAT HE SHOULD JUST LET HER GO???
AND PERCY FREAKING JACKSON CHOSE TO FALL IN THE DEEPEST, DARKEST, MOST DANGEROUS PITS OF HELL THAN TO LET GO OF HER??
WE'RE SEEING THESE SCENES IN THE ADAPTATION:
- PERCY GETTING CLAIMED BY POSEIDON.
- NICO DI ANGELO. ALL NICO DI ANGELO.
- ANNABETH CHASE SAVING THE WORLD WITH HER BRILLIANCE AND WITS.
- THE DEMIGODS DEFENDING OLYMPUS AT THE LAST OLYMPIAN.
THE PERCY JACKSON BOOKS ARE OFFICIALLY GETTING A REBOOT ADAPTATION THE PERCY JACKSON BOOKS ARE OFFICIALLY COMING ON DISNEY+ THE PERCY JACKSON BOOKS ARE OFFICIALLY GETTING A REBOOT ADAPTATION THE PERCY JACKSON BOOKS ARE OFFICIALLY COMING ON DISNEY+ THE PERCY JACKSON BOOKS ARE
FOR THOSE STARTING TO READ PERCY JACKSON:
- the racial diversity starts best in heroes of olympus and the gender identity diversity starts best in trials of apollo
- there is neurodiversity in the percy jackson series because most, if not all, demigods have adhd and dyslexia
reminder that percy jackson has a sarcastic troublemaker smile, has gorgeous sea green eyes, his hair is always swept to one side as if he'd just came from a walk on the beach, and he's tan, tall, lean, and muscular.
@narcissariddles
i'm just saying rick riordan would have an imprint with authors of color writing their own wizarding school based on their own culture and heritage and that is all im saying
NO WHITEWASHING FOR KANE CHRONICLES ON NETFLIX ❗❗ HIRE THE APPROPRIATE ACTORS OF COLOR FOR THE MOVIES ❗❗NO WHITEWASHING FOR KANE CHRONICLES ON NETFLIX ❗❗ HIRE THE APPROPRIATE ACTORS OF COLOR FOR THE MOVIES ❗❗NO WHITEWASHING FOR KANE CHRONICLES ON NETFLIX ❗❗
WE HAVE OUR PERCY JACKSON!! 💙
Walker Scobell has been officially casted for the Disney TV series. His name is gonna be known worldwide. This is the beginning of something epic 💙
THIS.
Haley Riordan, the main inspiration of the Percy Jackson books, who struggled with ADHD and dyslexia has graduated with a Master of Education. 💖😭
do i miss percy jackson or do i miss my 12 year old self who read percy jackson for the first time who's not bothered by any responsibilities in the world and only worried about the 12 year old boy doing everything he can to save his mother
me: i fucking hate cliches
rick riordan: annabeth and percy's godly parents are rivals and have opposing principles that may cause a rift between the two characters
me: omg annabeth and percy's godly parents are rivals and have opposing principles that may cause a rift betwe
when annabeth said "let me go, you can't pull me up" to percy when she was about to fall into tartarus. but. percy chose to fall into the deepest, darkest, most dangerous pits of hell with her because all of that misery and pain wont matter - as long as theyre together.
pansexual protagonist,
transgender main character,
muslim main character.
a deaf main character using sign language.
magnus chase and the gods of asgard.
the literature we deserve. the representation that we need.
percy jackson's quests were literally just him wanting to save (1) his mom (2) his bestfriend (3) his other bestfriend (4) his home (5) then his city.
he 100% didn't want to be a hero but accepted and adjusted his self into the role because that's how the world needed him to be.
rachel was into urban art projects, feeding the homeless, and going to protest rallies. SHE'S AN ACTIVIST. she's also an incredible artist!! how can anyone actually hate her character?? because she kissed percy??? bitch, ill kiss percy too if i get the chance
reading pjo realizing its about
because its just kids who are used
a children's book, as pawns, forced
light and funny into war, and will
most likely suffer
early deaths
"ok boomer" is cancelledt if we're talking about rick riordan. he continously improves on diversifying his books. bigots boycotted his writings but he stood his ground. he has an imprint on disney presenting and supporting diverse books written by authors of diverse backgrounds.
murderer: [cocking gun] any last words
me: the percy jackson books is all about a Great Prophecy and a Chosen One deciding the fate of the world. ironically, the entire saga is about percy learning that he is actually not the chosen one.
murderer: [putting down gun] holy shit
what i love about this is:
1 - gave an indirect appreciation to alexandra daddario, who is actually a good actress given a bad script, and
2 - more importanty, single handedly destroyed those who insist that annabeth chase must be portrayed by a white actress because she's blond
it's 2019, stop thinking that female characters are only badass when they are warriors. stop thinking that girly or romantic female characters are shallow or lame.
me: i dont like stereotypes
rick riordan: they are opposites as Nico is the son of the god of the dead and underworld so Nico is darkness, while Will is the son of the god of the sun and healing so Will is light
me: omg they are the opposites as Nico is the son of the god of
I was 15 when I started my account, I'm 23 now. Finished college, have a full time job. But I'm still here because I love books and that love began with a kid who didn't want to be a halfblood.
Percy Jackson is coming to Disney+. Thank you for being in this new quest with me. 💙
let people criticize rick riordan.
let people point out the plot holes, the inconsistent characterization.
let his readers of color point out the flaws in his characters of color.
let his lgbt+ readers point out how he should be writing his lgbt+ characters.
reminder that percy has a sarcastic troublemaker smile, has gorgeous sea green eyes, his hair is always swept to one side as if he'd just came from a walk on the beach, he's tan, tall, lean, and muscular. the only man i respect.
This isn't just about the percy jackson books getting what it deserves, THIS IS ALSO ABOUT DIVERSITY.
WITH KIDS WATCHING WHO WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND SEE THEMSELVES REPRESENTED IN THE CHARACTERS OF COLOR, LGBTQIA+ CHARACTERS, AND CHARACTERS WITH ADHD/DYSLEXIA OF THE BOOKS.
if i'll get cancelled after this then so be it cause it needs to be said... percy jackson isn't the best character in riordanverse, he doesn't deserve that title. i’m tired of y'all calling him the best in riordanverse when he's actually the best character in all of literature
WHY PERCY JACKSON IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEMS
- the narrative & the HUMOR
- GREEK MYTHOLOGY
- the chapter titles
- there are PROPHECIES & drama & SARCASM
- a set of loveable characters
- extraordinary amount of awesomeness
- lots of SWORD FIGHTING
- an ADVENTURE of a lifetime
doctor: any last words?
me: PERCY JACKSON'S PART OF A MINORITY GROUP, A REPRESENTATION OF THOSE WITH LEARNING DIFFERENCES, ADHD AND DYSLEXIA. PERCY'S NOT JUST A BASIC WHITE MALE, RIORDAN LITERALLY WROTE THE SERIES SO HIS OWN SON CAN FEEL BETTER HAVING ADHD AND DYSLEXIA
oh it just hit me that we might really get Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3: The Titan's Curse. we will meet nico and bianca di angelo, thalia grace, and zoe nightshade on screen. it will be so epic, so phenomenal.
two reasons as to why percy jackson is actually southeast asian:
1. South East Asian = "SEA" = percy is the son of the SEA god.
2. I am southeast asian.
that's it. you're all welcome.
percy jackson was only 12 years old when he defeated medusa, he then gave medusa's head to his mother sally jackson who used it to turn her abusive ex-husband into stone, sold the sculpture as a work of art, and used the money for a better life for her and her son.
imagine meeting thomas from maze runner and percy jackson, my 16 year old self obsessed with ya protagonists who are burdened with saving the world is screaming

⇨ overall a fantastic and fun adventure (with lots of death!)
