the shot of the rain batting against the window as sally and percy leave for school to show how their home and life is still out of reach for poseidon and he can’t enter but is still watching them through the window in a sense like oh okay so I’m crying again??
it’s never that serious ppl make black reader fics all the time if they don’t have those small details the fic will js be boring☠️
It is that serious bc I think it’s that serious 🤷🏽♀️ and no they don’t??? What planet are you living on the only time I ever see black reader fics is if by chance a POC writer had one of their fics get attention and that rarely happens either. Those “small details” can be altered, and not even majorly, to include at least the rest of the population in race. I’m not saying it has to be every single fic that needs to be inclusive towards everyone (though that would be nice) but asking for at least half of the fics that flood the tags to have, at the very least, neutral descriptions doesn’t sound like a big ask.
PS - if you’re depending on the reader being able to flush red like a tomato or throw her hair up in a cute messy bun for a story to be engaging and entertaining you can hop on over to Wattpad and read the x reader fics there; it’s their specialty.
"There's no strong female characters!", "Give us complex women!", "We want to see a range of female personality!"
They gave you Abby Anderson. Nina Zenik. Annabeth Chase. Shauna Sadecki.
It's been a gruelling fight to get crumbs of what we want, but frankly you don't deserve them. You don't deserve them if you're going to call for complexity, then whine about how they're too 'complicated'. How those women are 'too much' and 'not enough' at the same time. How they could have been better, how they should have been changed.
You hate Abby for being too strong, you hate Nina for being too forward, you hate Annabeth for being a leader, you hate Shauna for being a child.
You're given women that are complex, that are morally grey, that can't be stamped with a 'good' or 'bad', and how do you treat them? No, even better, how do you treat the people that advocate for them?
It's fine for the men to be morally gray, but God forbid a woman step into that role like you asked.
I'm sick, and I'm so tired, and this is exactly why I love writing morally grey women. Strong women, women that are unapologetic and powerful.

I suppose to the untrained eye, these shots are exactly the same. I can definitely tell there is more clarity and better resolution in the remaster (first image), though!
the girl on the left is Abby, nicknamed "Ginger" by a lot of the other inmates because of her hair. the girl on the right, MJ, is a tutor for the prison's ged program. MJ is also trying to drop hints that she has a crush on Abby, but Abby's a bit too oblivious to notice.
also, decided to change their designs slightly since the last time I drew my girls. I gave Abby slightly darker hair, and also gave MJ a different colored uniform.
I swear I'm gonna actually write about these dykes eventually. I'm just distracted by a bunch of stuff and somehow end up drawing them again and again.
grover batting his eyes and complimenting ares and his deep cut wars and playing right into his ego is so smart and also kind of adorable like my baby is a diplomat at his core he knows how to play the field 🥰
