We’re all having “hard conversations” about racism, police brutality, and #BlackLivesMatter I hope.
You’ve probably noticed that detractors often use the same “racist talking points” in response. Here’s a researched and sourced guide to help you answer, for the times you may get stuck.

Riptide Chapter 4: Super Percy
As the sun begins to touch the treetops, the surface of Lake Naiad shines like a million miniature diamonds are dancing along its surface. Percy stands on the edge of what has become his favorite body of water, jeans cuffed above his ankles, as he listens to the soothing sounds of the lake lapping at his feet, birds making their ways back to their nests for the evening, and the bickering of the sister spirits who routinely kick his ass.
“Mother said to keep training into the evening, do you want to disobey her?” Cordelia says curtly.
“It is not about disobeying mother, but about knowing we are dealing with a human, Cordelia. He needs rest, he is not like you or I,” Hali says back.
Cordelia scoffs. “Well that’s glaringly obvious, given his skill level. Or lack thereof.”
“Why must you be so petulant!”
“Why must you be so lax!”
They have been at it for about twenty minutes, discussing Percy’s training regimen and if it’s enough to get him ready to be a full-fledged champion. Percy has no say in the matter, and even he knows getting between sisters is a bad idea, so instead of chiming in, he decides to simply enjoy the scenery as the water slowly heals every scrape and bruise he has collected over the course of the day. Luckily, being a New Yorker, the sounds of two people bickering is one that really does make Percy feel like he’s home.

16. “Do you think the moon is jealous of how pretty you are?” love you and your writing!! ♡♡

“Do you think the moon is jealous of how pretty you are?” Percy whispers sweetly as he slips his arms around Annabeth’s waist, placing a kiss to her cheek.
Annabeth slides her hands on top of Percy’s, amazed at how warmth always seems to radiate off of him, and leans back into his arms. Gently, she leans her head into his and smiles as she notes how the light of the moon makes her engagement ring gleam.
“Why are you so good to me?” she asks, her voice quiet.
She feels him shrug before he answers. “How else do you treat the love of your life?”
Annabeth pulls Percy’s arms tighter around her middle, finding comfort in the steadiness of his touch. “I never thought I’d have this.”
“Well you do,” Percy says with confidence. “For always.”
Annabeth laughs as she turns around to face Percy, linking her hands around his neck as he links his at the small of her back.
“For always, huh?”
He nods, a childlike grin lighting up his face. “Yup. And there’s nothing you can do about it. Now answer the question.”
“What question?” she asks, playing dumb.
Percy doesn't waver. “Do you think the moon is jealous of how pretty you are?”
She looks at him, from the deep green of his eyes to the solid lines of his jaw and the perfect curve of his smile until she can’t help but kiss him on his perfectly soft lips. Pulling away, she feels her heart skip a beat at the way Percy’s long eyelashes flutter as he opens his eyes.
“Hmm,” she says pensively. “I guess to answer that I have to ask you a question of my own.”
“What’s that?” he says with a curious squint.
“Do you think the sun is jealous of how my world completely revolves around you?”
She can practically hear the air leave Percy’s lungs as he watches her with awe and reverence. Her gravitational force soon proves to be too strong, and there under the light of the full moon they transform into the sea and shore, crashing into each other with abandon.
