I've barely seen any other book series with a good LGBTQ+ representation or even any. Compared to books like Harry Potter and Hunger Games, it's an awesome example to look up as an example. Many kids read this series, and it's good {in my opinion, don't get mad at me} for kids to know about this stuff. I know as a LGBTQ+ person, it's awesome to see somebody in a books that can relate you and that's one of the reasons it's important. Seeing Will and Nico in the books made me feel extremely happy because I've barely seen any LGBTQ+ couples in any books.
Although, I'd love to see more transgender characters in books. Alex, of course was awesome at representing the Genderfluid/Transgender community and I wish we got more of that. Even if it's not that much, it's still there and compared to many series it's awesome to even see that at all.
List of current LGBTQ+ characters in the Riordanverse {as far as I know, feel free to mention the ones I've missed}.
Nico {Gay}
Will {Bi/Gay}
Piper {I'm pretty sure she's bi}
Apollo {Bi}
Zeus {Bi}
Alex {Genderfluid and Transgender}
Reyna {Romantic Asexual}
Magnus Chase {Pan}

Hot takes & missed opportunities part 2 woo. Here goes nothing (again). Quick disclaimer, the intention of this series was not to offend or hurt anyone in anyways. This is purely my opinion, and you do not have to agree.
Alex Fierro
In my opinion, Alex Fierro is a rude and generally horrible human being. I believe Xena already commented on this character, and she basically said what I wanted to write here. Alex is mean to characters like Magnus, who she supposedly cares for, in a way that I’ve never seen any other Riordanverse character treat others. Her behaviour is often dismissed as “sassy” or “quirky”, but in reality she’s just being a terrible person. Another thing I found really frustrating about her character is that regardless of the fact that she is a horrible person, she is treated with kindness and warmth from readers and fellow characters alike. Other characters who have shown their true colours to be even mildly impolite to readers' faves are ruthlessly attacked - but Alex is the only exception I can think of. Take Octavian for example. This character had not done anything to stand out except to mistreat other more main characters, so he is generally strongly disliked by Riordanverse fans.
Will Solace
I really think Will could’ve been expanded on wayyy more. That way, Solangelo could have been a better ship. Us knowing Will better as a character and being able to relate to him more would have seriously affected the way I, and probably some others, think about Solangelo. Not just that, though - it just would’ve been nice to see him as his own person. I can’t really think of any words to describe Will’s personality because I just haven’t seen enough of it from what Rick has currently written.
Perachel vs Percabeth
Look, Percabeth used to be my OTP - and I can see why past me thought that way. But now, things have changed. I’ve realised that Percabeth probably wasn’t the best pairing, especially considering how cliché it was. To be honest, I was surprised that Rick went with Percabeth throughout the entire series because of just how predictable it was. Main male character gets with slightly less main female character - the age old tale. It was a chance for him to think out of the box and come up with something no one expected, yet he stuck with the same old story. I really think Perachel would have been a better relationship. They seem more suited to each other (although I may be biased because I prefer Rachel over Annabeth).
Rachel Dare
That leads me nicely to my next point, Rachel. She could’ve been a more main character, which I, personally, would have appreciated. She’s just a more relatable character. Maybe that’s because she’s actually human, maybe it’s because I see some of myself in her - I don’t know. All I know is that I find her pretty likeable considering how most people are against her because she apparently “disrupts Percabeth’s vibes”. I just felt that especially because her relationship with Percy wasn’t added to she could have had a story of her own rather than being seen as only the love rival of Annabeth.
That’s all for now - please excuse any mistakes. I might do some more in the future depending if I can think of any lol. Thanks for reading! :)
Is anyone else thinking how great Alex, Sadie, and Mr. D would get along?

Ima be bold now and list all my unpopular opinions without explaining them.
Octavian was a H E R O
Perachel would make a good ship.
Solangelo is very slightly overrated.
The Seven do NOT have the best companionship.
BoO is actually a pretty good book.
Alex is kinda overrated and toxic.
Okay, my boldness has expired for today. Give me all the hate, disrespect and angry comments you want to, but I will stand still and strong in my opinions and respect yours. Okay bye.

For girls to decide:
Percy(Seaweed brain) Magnus (Beantown) Anubis (DeadBoi) Leo (Mr.Mcshizzle)
For boys:
Annabeth (Wise girl) Alex (Because she is a girl, not a boy and a girl) Sadie (:)) Hazel (14 karat)
Sorry if i sound snappy, i get pretty worked up over this issue. I want to clarify some things please: first, Alex Fierro does not identify as female: he/she is genderfluid and should be acknowledged as that. Second, there is such thing as having a different sexual orientation than straight. Not everyone is heterosexual; but there’s nothing wrong with being heterosexual, and there’s nothing wrong with any gender identity or sexual orientation anyone chooses to identify with. Everyone is human, everyone is unique, please just respect that. To be clear, i’m very happy to be part of the riordan fandom that is so accepting, supportive, and open minded; this was just concerning a recent post that i wanted to voice my opinion about. Thanks, and stay safe everyone!

Recently, I introduced my friend to MCGA, and she finished it 2 days ago. She's starting PJO and I was planning on teaming up with her for Halloween next year, as I saw no point in dressing up because, you know. So we decided that I be Sam, and she be Alex. I'm not Muslim, and I don't want to offend anyone, so I'm going without the hijab.
