The Sea of Monsters, Rick Riordan. Page 31.

[Transcript: A prerecorded voice came in over the speaker: Hi, this is Ganymede, cup-bearer to Zeus, and when I'm out buying wine for the Lord of the Skirs, I always buckle up!]

[Transcript: Reyna took away his probatio neck plate. Octavian shot him a dirty look, then turned to the crowd and smiled like this was all his idea. He ripped open a teddy bear the pronounced good omens for the coming year - Fortuna would bless them! He passed his hand over Percy’s arm and shouted: ‘Percy Jackson, son of Neptune, first year of service!’

The Roman symbols burned onto Percy’s arm: a trident, SPQR, and a single stripe. It felt like someone was pressing a hot iron to Percy’s skin, but he managed not to scream.

Octavian embraced him and whispered: ‘I hope it hurt.’

[Transcript: Very slowly, using only two fingers, Annabeth drew her dagger. Instead of dropping it, she tossed it as far as she could into the water. Octavian made a squeaking sound. “What was that for? I didn’t say toss it! That could’ve been evidence. Or spoils of war!” Annabeth tried for the dumb-blonde smile, like: Oh silly me. Nobody who knew her would’ve been fooled. But Octavian seemed to buy it. He huffed in exasperation. “You other two…” He pointed his blade at Hazel and Piper. “Put your weapons on the dock, no funny bus-” All around the Romans, Charleston Harbor errupted like a Las Vegas fountain putting on a show. When the wall of seawater subsided, the three Romans were in the bay, sputtering and frantically trying to stay afloat in their armor. Percy stood on the dock holding Annabeth’s dagger. “You dropped this” he said, totally poker-faced. Annabeth threw her arms around him. “I love you!”]

THIS SCENE MAKES ME SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY ITS SO CUTE

it is criminal how ignored the part of hammer of thor where magnus and hearthstone are in alfheim is... that's some prime content there. every time magnus threatens violence on a cop or hearthstone's abusers I gain hp. I think we should've let him stay there to fuck around awhile actually.

[Transcript: -and despite my overcooked condition, despite my exhaustion, I managed to get to my feet x The presence of my friends energized me. I staggered over to Alex and helped her up.

“I’m good,” she muttered, though she looked disoriented and bloody. How she had survived getting bashed with a bench was beyond me. I guess she was hardheaded. “He-he didn’t control me. Loki didn’t. I-I was pretending”

She gripped my hand, obviously concerned that I might not believe her.

“I know Alex.” I squeezed her hand. “You did great.”]

Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan, page 404

[Transcript: I’ll be honest. A small part of my brain thought, Alex is male right now. I have just been kissed by a dude. How do I feel about that?

The rest of my brain answered, I have just been kissed by Alex Fierro. I am absolutely great with that.]

The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan, page 112

[Transcript: Jack’s voice buzzed in my head more forcefully. Compliment. His. Feet.

“You have beautiful feet Grand- er, Njord.”

The god beamed “Oh these old things? Well you’re kind. Did you know I won a beaty pageant with my feet? The prize was my wife!”

I glanced at Blitz and Hearth, to see if I was imagining this entire conversation.

Please, Hearth signed with zero enthusiasm. Tell us the story.]

[Transcript: Amir blinked even more. I got the sense that he still wasn’t sure what to make of Alex Fierro, Sam’s green-haired gender-fluid half-sibling chaperone of doom.]

Another time where Rick Riordan expressed his hatred for cops

The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan, Page 167

[Transcript: “Look guys,” I said, “we’re just taking a walk,” “In a nice neighborhood,” Said Sunspot, “where I’m guessing you don’t live. The Makepieces down the road - they called in a report. Somebody trespassing, loitering. We take that sort of thing seriously, thick.” I had to tamp down my anger. As a homeless person I’d been a frequent target for rough treatment by law enforcement. My darker-skinned friends got it even worse. So, during the two years I lived on the street, I’d learned a whole new level of caution when dealing with “friendly” neighborhood police officers.]

I actually did lineart for once, what do you think?

[random-rick-riordan-quotes]

[Transcript: I took my time in the shower. I needed a good scrubbing, yes. But mostly I needed to stand with my forehead against the tiles, shaking and weeping until I felt like I could face other people again. What was it about kindness? In my time as Lester Papadopolous, I had learned to stand up under horrendous verbal abuse and constant life threatening violence, but the smallest act of generosity could ninja kick me in the heart and break me into a blubbering mess of emotions. Darn you Paul and Sally, and your cute baby too!]

there was no need to call me out like this >:’(

The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan, Page 94

[Transcript: “I’m the Super-sized Mcshizzle man! Leo said. I’m Leo Valdez, bad boy supreme. and the ladies love a bad boy.” “Love a bad boy!” Echo said, with a convincing squeal. Leo took out a pen and autographed the armor one of the nymphs. “Narcissus is a loser! He’s so weak, he can’t even bench press a Kleenex. He’s so lame, when you look up lame on Wikipedia, it’s got a picture of Narcissus-only the picture is ugly, so no one ever checks it out.”]

A “good cop” is still a cop.

[The Tower Of Nero by Rick Riordan, page 49]

I think we need to talk about this quote more

Also the fact that it’s in a book that came out in October 2020

[Transcript: I couldn’t make myself trust Luguselwa completely. A “good cop” was still a cop… still a part of the mind game. And Nero was an expert at playing with people’s heads.]

[The Tower Of Nero by Rick Riordan, page 249]

[Transcript: A mortal security guard in tactical riot gear rounded the corner, barreling toward me with his handgun raised. Not being well prepared, I screamed and threw Gunther’s sword at him. By some miracle, the hilt hit him in the face and knocked him down. THAT IS NOT NORMALLY HOW ONE USETH A SWORD, the arrow said. “Always a critic,” I grumbled]
