The differences between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson in why Percy is a good character and his series' are good too while Harry is a bad character and his entire franchise is bad as a whole comes down to their life experiences.Nobody suspected Harry was a wizard so he didn't face discrimination,real or of the fantasy metaphor kind,and Rowling never wrote him as being a part of any oppressed group.But we are told in the very first page of Percy's story that he was a 'troubled kid' because he was always getting trouble for having adhd and undiagnosed autism-This one was not intentional on Rick's part but he fills out every autistic trait,both personality wise and how he's treated by the narrative and the other characters-no matter how hard he tried to be a 'good kid' and we're also told that this has been going on since he started kindergarten and dosen't stop in the following books either
Harry Potter was abused because of intrafamily history so he couldn't have cared less about changing the Wizarding World for the better.Percy Jackson was abused because he's a minority so he's been personally harmed by the broken systems and norms he lives in his whole life so he works hard to make it better for others like him-Both by fighting the corrupted people who run things AND being kind to and helping other minorities directly!!!-at the cost of his own eternal wish for normalcy.Harry's a cop,Percy's one of us

jegulily au where regulus is a rogue demon that wants to do good, james is a mischievous angel that doesn't care much for their rules, and lily is a demigod intent on ignoring her godlyness.
like i imagine regulus and james hanging out on earth all the time, regulus trying to fix things, and james causing minor trouble. and lily is just there who can very much tell neither of them are humans, but you know what? fuck that. she is not getting involved in this dangerous, supernatural world and is intent on ignoring them both. james, however, is infatuated with her and regulus and would just like to chat to them, please. and regulus keeps having to undo james' pranks and it is pissing him off at this point, angels are meant to be doing good, not playing stupid pranks, and why is there a demigod staring at him? is she a spy there to drag him back to the underworld and torture him for being a terrible demon? fuck.
