I'm glad a MC is queer, but I wish it had been handled better. For example, more buildup with Will being an important character and stuff instead of being dragged in for a handful of scenes in the last 2 books. And that Nico was outed by Eros, I thought that we were done with forced outing in books.

Oh my stars no that was like my third favorite parts of the books (cough as was Dumbledore's cough)

And the thing with Percy was wrong. Make him gay if you want sure. But that stuff was not gay in book three. If it was done later, say in book five it would work far better.

We were seeing it from Percy's POV, when he was already paranoid that Annabeth was dead. And Nico was like 12 then, he might not have even known his sexuality until he got a crush on Percy later on. And how is Nico's crush on Percy 'wrong' but Frank and Hazel's 3 year gap not?

Well the crush on Percy itself isn't wrong. You know my stance so hopefully you know what I mean. It's that it was said to be at that age when I know Rick did not write it as a crush and just repurposed it later.
And the age gap is nothing. That's just modern American sensibilities. Also it mirrors the relationship I was talking about the other day with my boy god so that's something to think about.

My parentd ar 4 years apart I think anything under 6 years is ok but yes I hate it when people diss Nico for being gay he's a beatiful bean and gack my child

My parents are six years apart Lol.

I don't like that Nico was gay. But because it was bad writing the way it was done. If it wasn't for that I would have gotten over it by now.

Yeah see I don't think 3 years is really a big deal especially since Hazel is lITERALLY REBORTHED and that's not nearly the weirdest thing in those books

I feel like unless we saw it from Nico's POV, we don't know if it was a crush. I know from experience that Nico's gushing about something he's into that connects to Percy reads a lot like finding a common interest with your crush (and since he was young and probably didn't even know what the word gay means in a modern context, he probably wasn't sure yet himself). Crushes manifest differently for everyone, and at age 13 that's definitely how I would have handled one, even if it's not how you would have, or Leo would have, or Emmy would have.

~Yeah see I don't think 3 years is really a big deal especially since Hazel is lITERALLY REBORTHED and that's not nearly the weirdest thing in those books~~

If they were both in there 20s, I wouldn't care, but she's what, 13? And he's 16/17. Still a big difference in maturity and mentality, and as a 15 year old I could never even consider 'dating' a 12 year old.

Nah I don't. I mean, I'm pretty cool with peeps being like that but I will never support.

Oh. Um. Ok. Imma just. Go then. Hehe awkward bisexual finger guns.

So you're a finger guns bi. Same here

Ayy finger guns bi peeps gotta stick together amiright

Oh. Um. Ok. Imma just. Go then. Hehe awkward bisexual finger guns.

Iss cool my dude. No need to feel off about a dude who doesn't support your beliefs.

But I kinda combine finger guns with thumbs up. I guess that's the true bi experience. Well, bi-ace in my case.

Hehe. He. It's not really… a belief… it's sorta… a real thing but… heh. anyway. have fun here.

Confusion

Also feeling a bit awkward because I want to be chill and am failing.
