Please don't take this as me trying to downplay Rick Riordan's extremely queerphobic writing(critisism of him is all over my old blog and i don't plan to not continue posting more on this one)but one of his mess up's that's not problematic and actually the funniest shit to me is that he made his first ever gay male character,Nico,and had the so called guy as his crush be Percy,the biggest trans woman egg in the entire franchise.No line or description in either of their series' is funnier and they had tough ass competition

Summary:
“You know, your hair’s getting pretty long,” Hazel said as they sat on her bed. “We could do something with it.”
“Like what?” Nico asked, propped up on his elbows and facing the ceiling. His hair tumbled down his shoulder, a little tangled, and Hazel petted it.
“Well… what kind of hair products do you use?”
Nico looked at her blankly. “Uhh… the camp ones?”
Hazel stared at him. “Oh, no. Nico, shadow-travel us to Target, we’re getting you some new stuff.”

💛 for the ask game :D
💛 - who or what made you realize you were queer?
ok im droppin this under the cut bc i ended up ramblin a LOT forgive me i did NOT need to talk this much
i was in middle school and i met my friend's cousin jayla at a birthday partyyyy!! they talked about the iconic and fucked up lore they had come up with for their monster high dolls!! and i didnt get their number or email or anything and it will forever haunt me bc we could have been besties forever </3
fast forward at least a year later, they were once again at a party, but this time they looked like rise of the guardian's jack frost with a short mess of white hair on top of their head. we sat on the trampoline just talking for like 2 hours about panic! at the disco and batman (of course)
eventually they talked about being pan, and i had heard abt some gay stuff but not that!! they explained it to me and i explained my side of things - at the time, i was very religious and "hate the sin love the sinner" - and despite our disagreement we got along fine!
that night, tho, i kept thinkin bout the pan label and how they described it, so i looked it up online. i found this blog that had a bunch of pan folks talkin abt their experiences and i started to realize how much i related to it (much to my Terror). i remembered how when i was abt 8 years old, i was OBSESSED this one older girl at summer camp who was a lil gnc and very badass - and i realized "ohhh so that obsession was a crush. shit."
after that i went through stages of trying to undo my queerness through the power of The Lord™ but obviously it didnt work! i later settled for the bi label because i felt more connected w it and the history around it.
regarding Gender, i had seen this one silly little blog that drew nico di angelo as very feminine, and seen male singers dressed in skirts and nail polish, and wondered why i wanted to look girly but not in a girl way, just like they did. whenever i posted in forums or posted crossdressing cosplay, and ppl assumed i was a guy, i thought it was So interesting...
and years later i. okay. this is so fucking cringe. but doki doki literature club sparked a bunch of memes about natsuki being flat. and i just kept thinking "whats wrong with that? i would love to be flat like a guy!" and then i started trying to bind with bandages (DONT DO THAT) and layered bras and then it spiraled and holy SHIT my brain exploded. gender moment.
the cool thing is that i still keep finding shit out about myself all the time. i rediscover my own queer identity every damn day

will is tall + has good bone structure and wears khakis or something so everyone looks at him and goes “ah. straight cis man.” despite him being trans and bi. while nico is a cis guy who gets mistaken for being a girl every other day. i just think that would be so funny
because Nico is gnc and Will wears socks and sandals and for some reason he smells like a lawnmower so sometimes when they mention that Will is trans and Nico is cis, people are like “?? I think you guys are confused” and they’re like “no Linda you’re confused”

The first Nico I've ever drawn inspired by @nonbinary-hawke pointing out some things
(ID: a teenager looking to the side from the shoulders up. He's wearing a corset top over a fruit print collared shirt, a pomegranate seed necklace, and cherry skull earrings. His hair is in a half up hairdo, and he has a nuetral leaning on negative expression. He has something dark around his eyes- either makeup or eye bags. End ID)
