Rick writing House of Hades: okay here we go…let’s see how putting a gay character in here works out…
Rick writing Blood of Olympus: well. I didn’t get sued off the face of the earth by angry parents. Let’s see how making the gay kid accepted by friends and eventually accepted by himself goes. And…let’s imply a future gay relationship.
Rick writing Hidden Oracle: well I’m once again still not sued off the face of the earth. It’s time. Everyone is gay. The main character is an explicit genderfluid bisexual. That previously implied gay relationship is official. The Hermes cabin loves Rocky Horror Picture Show. Patrochilles is canon in this universe too, btw.
