Yes!! I think he learned a lot from writing Heroes of Olympus and took that feedback to make sure he wrote better representation going forward. He cares so much about his readers and it shows. ❤️

Like he is obviously not a perfect person, because no one is, but he takes EVERY piece of criticism and genuinely reflects on it and wants to change. To me, that’s truly what makes him an amazing artist, because if you’re not willing to grow you’re not willing to be better.

I am so excited for a trans man to be a main character!! Especially as a child of Aphrodite, he’s literally me!

I absolutely love Rick, not just because of his writing (which I love by the way, OMG I love the Percy Jackson universe🖤) but his willingness to respond to criticism and the way that he adapt to his characters and tries to make them as authentic and human as possible🖤

this is exactly why I love Rick, because even though it's not a perfect series and there's a lot of bad aspects to it you can EASILY realize that there's morals within the creator himself

These books were the first time I felt seen. It’s the only time I saw characters who acted and thought like me characters who experienced the world I did. I will forever be grateful to him for this and his commitment to get better at representation.

the fact that he's not just about working to include more rep on the page, but bringing real people in to push them forward and uplift them. he built a whole imprint for it AND is now adding them as creators in his world too and it's SO COOL TO SEE
