Help!!!!!

I’m trying to think of superhero names relating to the Greek gods! Feminine or gender neutral perfected, but I’ll except anything rn lol

(I’m trying to write a PJO and MLB crossover type thing where my oc is a demigod and is the guardian of the ‘gods jewels’ which are similar to the miraculous but are also different. And she uses them to help LB and CN fight Monarch in s5. Some of the PJO/HOO characters will possibly make appearances, and are definitely mentioned.)

(Also I have some polls related to this story cause I’m indecisive)

I know I shouldn't be resentful but. I had a Conversation tm with my dad and he told me he tried so hard to get me to slim down as a child and young teen because I "didn't look like my peers."

But now all the girls whose "normal" skinny body type my dad wanted for me in elementary school are heavier than me now bc that's what fucking happens in your 20s!!!! you get a life and a job and childbearing hips!!! But oh no not me, I still count every calorie and piss every half hour so my stomach looks flatter

ok I don’t have hoo reciepts on hand rn but I have to say it’s always sooo crazy to me ppl fanonize Piper as some prank pulling loud mouthed no other real personality trait girl but she’s literally the comforter in chief as riordan so aptly put it in canon…like she was busy and all and u don’t notice in hoo cuz she’s kinda just preoccupied w her teenage puppy love bf but everybody. Everybody likes piper McLean. eat my ass mary sue etc etc but the reason for this is literally as simple as her being uncontested in her empathy (drew Tanaka left the chat)

like idk this one burning maze part with Meg is prob the easiest example

and like baby chuck just being enamored with her is sooooo…like whatever

A brief rant about Sinophobia in fiction

I might be weird for getting worked up over this, but I am a bit bothered by the fact that whenever I see fancasts for Frank Zhang or Marinette Dupain-Cheng (and most likely other characters that are Chinese/of Chinese descent, but I used those two as examples since they're in my main fandoms), they're all Japanese or Korean, even though the characters are Chinese.

I really hope it's NOT because they think Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans are all the same.

Japanese people make sushi, Chloé. Cheng Shifu is Chinese!

Take some notes from Adrien, y'all. It's 2024.

By all means, considering how the demographics of fandoms like Miraculous Ladybug or Percy Jackson are pretty young, and Asian trends are popular among Western youth nowadays, I doubt that those fans actually have trouble differentiating between different East Asian ethnicities. However, I do think it dives into a deeper problem of how Westerners perceive Japan/Korea vs. China (not only the countries but also their culture, people, etc.).

I've seen a few videos on TikTok about women who are Chinese/of Chinese descent being mistaken for Japanese or Korean and being complimented on their looks when they wear makeup, while they are seen as Chinese without. Those Western strangers suggest that Chinese women/people are somehow less attractive than Japanese/Koreans.

Another example is how tanghulu, a candied fruit that originated in China (which btw are to die for! They're available at H-Mart if you're based in the United States.), popularized among Westerners when they're marketed as Korean (just because they are very popular in South Korea nowadays doesn't mean they are Korean).

The fancasting for Frank and Marinette is just another example of Western double standards for Japan/Korea vs. China, and how Chinese culture/people are seen as less than compared to their Japanese or Korean counterparts. It's racism within itself.

(There's also the issue of fancasting skinny actors as Frank who is canonically plus-sized, but that's a discussion for another day, feel free to repost this and talk about it if you wish)
