ok but why does captain america have a fitness challenge and why is it still being shown in schools. he took experimental super steroids and is currently an international fugitive

If we’re all being honest with ourselves, a public school having an outdated educational video featuring a celebrity with dubious legal standing is the most accurate thing in any of the Marvel movies.

i remember when i took Latin in highschool we used these Cambridge Latin textbooks and for Latin 1 you had the standard thing where the characters are a Roman family and most of the book was normal language textbook stuff about basic vocabulary like “here’s vocabulary about the mother raising the young children, here’s vocabulary relating to the father going to his job as a banker” except they also decided the family was gonna be from Pompeii and the last chapter was Vesuvius erupting and took an incredibly incredibly dark turn because the vocab was now like “here’s words for volcano, ash cloud, darkness, fire, lava, death” and then almost all the main characters died

no one talks about how rick riordan literally scammed disney 

dead ass pjo was that seemingly “normal” kids fantasy series with a seemingly white straight kid saving the world and it’s a fucking success. percy jackson? iconic! ppl fucking love percy and his character and then hoo comes out? everyone is pumped bc everyone is in love with that world. the first book? two main bad ass poc characters. the second book? two more bad ass poc characters! the fourth book and there’s literally a gay character and it’s not like disney could say no. hoo ends and then there’s magnus chase and ppl are fucking pumped bc that’s annabeth chase’s cousin and in the first book there’s a muslim girl and by the second book there’s a transgender and genderfluid character. trials of apollo? a main gay couple in a happy relationship and a fucking bi character. could disney say no? no. literal 10 year olds are reading books with heaps of representation all published by disney. rick riordan played the game. you step in thinking ur just gonna get white cishets and you walk out surrounded by different cultures and rainbows.

tldr; rick started out with the basic pasty white and straight series which got hella successful and used his success to pusblish more books and allow only one (1) cishet and only one (1) white

i doubt he planned it but deadass it would be so funny if that’s what happened

I saw him speak on /writing in the UK right before (or early in on when) his series hit it big. Planned. Definitely planned. 

Thousand percent planned. Also Percy? Has a learning disability. RR’s son inspired him to write bc he is ADHD and dyslexic. This was all planned. He is all about inclusivity and representation.

He just recently turned down an invitation to be recognized by the Texas state legislature because of of their new bathroom bill.

Indeed, don’t ignore the importance of Percy as a dyslexic kid with adhd who thinks he’s dumb at the beginning of the series but is actually very bright, just finds school difficult.

But without question he got in the door of mainstream success with a straight white hero that wouldn’t have been possible with the Kanes (PoC), Magnus (not going to label his sexuality, but in love with a non binary trans person), Apollo (bi), or the Heroes of Olympus ensemble.
